"Damn, the budget of Transformers is 150 million US dollars, and the funds used for filming after excluding the 30 million publicity and distribution costs are 120 million, and now at most half of the filming is completed, he will spend all the money?" It was a wise choice for Ye Cheng to hide and not call, otherwise Zhang Qiuxi would really scold him.

This has nothing to do with reluctance to get money, but a question of unreasonableness, the film has been very carefully considered when making a budget, and the shooting cost of 120 million is already within a very reasonable and sufficient range, which is a bit unreasonable.

Although this kind of thing is also common, no company will be happy when it comes to this situation, and most of the reason for exceeding the budget is simply that the director often adds a lot of plot scenes that he has not thought of before during the filming process, and these may not be used in the final editing.

"Our people said that Ye Cheng is becoming more and more handy at filming, so he is becoming more and more open-handed, not to add a plot for no reason, but to make the original plan bigger and more detailed, Warner Bros. and he acquiesce in this." Li Changhua personally seems to have no opinion on Ye Cheng, and he still has a look of praise and praise.

What should I do if I exceed my budget? This is a headache, when Cameron filmed "Titanic" because of his profligacy and repeated overspending, Twentieth Century Fox couldn't stand it, so he could only pull Paramount up, and as a result, he gave the latter a piece of the pie in vain.

:

There are many examples of additional investment by production companies, and this situation generally depends on the main creator and the film itself, the director has spent the budget and the production company has shaken off, and there are also those who are unwilling to make additional investment. In this way, the work will either die young, or the director will smash the pot and sell the iron to fill it himself.

There are also some directors who have the habit of saving shots. It's the money invested in this film, and some shots are kept for the next step, and some of them will shoot whatever comes to mind. Regardless of whether it is related to each other or not, Zhang Qiuxi is afraid that Ye Cheng will also be infected with vices, and now it seems that he is a little worried.

"Compared with other Hollywood blockbusters, the budget of 150 million is actually not much." Hongdou, who has a lot of money, thought about it and said: "Since Ye Cheng's original intention is to make the movie better, then you don't have to care about this, and the three of them don't have much to share." ”

"Yes." Zhang Qiuxi nodded, and then asked, "Uncle, how much additional investment is needed in the future, and have you made a budget?" ”

"It's really only half done now. However, except for the final battle, the others are all literary dramas, and they don't need special effects or any destruction, and they don't need much money in this regard, so they reported 60 million. Li Changhua said: "It is estimated that of the 60 million, at least 40 million will be smashed on the last scene." ”

40 million was handed over to Zhang Qiuxi to operate, and she was able to smash in n small-budget movies with a box office of over 100 million, but the account couldn't be counted like this, so she said very happily: "20 million per family is not too much, so let's decide." Uncle. You contact Warner Bros., I'm afraid they've been waiting for our opinion for a long time. ”

Although Warner Bros. is looking at Zhang Qiuxi's meaning, it still needs to be communicated, and this is the matter of Shuguang Media. Zhang Qiuxi and the others also understood what Li Changhua meant by letting the red beans follow. Because the financial power of foreign investment is also in her hands, she has to control the money.

Now that it's decided, the red beans are of course very refreshing. Directly wrote a check for 20 million US dollars and handed it to Li Changhua. Thanks to more and more foreign cooperation, more and more foreign exchange is earned. Whether they are magazines or private individuals, they have accounts in overseas banks, otherwise it would be a hassle to exchange currency. You can't pretend to be so refreshing......

Saying goodbye to Li Changhua and returning to the magazine to talk about it, Ye Qingqing jumped up first and shouted: "Doesn't that mean that the budget of this movie is already 210 million, the absolute super blockbuster cost." That guy in Ye Chengcheng is quite fat, and if he spends money, he doesn't seem to be able to recover the cost by relying on the domestic market alone. ”

"210 million US dollars is almost 1.3 billion yuan, which is indeed a large number, but now there are a few domestic films that are close to this result, and I think it is very easy." Yang Jie followed up and said that if the domestic box office of a blockbuster of this scale does not exceed one billion, it will be considered a failure.

"You can't count it like that, even if the domestic box office is 2 billion, it's not good, don't forget that the theater chain has to take half of it, and you have to pay taxes and so on." Shangguan Jin reminded him that the situation seemed to have become unoptimistic again, and Hongdou also screamed sadly: "Is this to blame the exchange rate between the soft sister currency and the US dollar?" ”

Zhang Qiuxi said: "Don't pay attention to these boring questions, as if the movie is really only released in China, from another point of view, as long as the North American box office exceeds 400 million, won't we be able to recover the cost." ”

"It's not an easy thing to do, there are not many movies in North America that can exceed 400 million box office in history, and it's almost a difficulty with the domestic box office of 1 billion."

This is also true, but Hollywood studios are still not relentless in throwing money at it, because many films do not expect to recover their costs and make money in the North American market. They have such confidence, of course, because the movie has long swept the world, and they can make a fortune in any country, as long as there is an overseas box office, North America's table is not very important.

"Although it's quite optimistic, it's still necessary to knock Ye Chengcheng, otherwise what if this guy becomes a bottomless pit?" Ye Qingqing has a posture of killing relatives with righteousness, and she did not delay at all, and after speaking, she took out her mobile phone and called her brother to teach her brother.

Whether it is beating or scolding, it is necessary to communicate with Ye Cheng if it is decided to make additional investment, this matter happens to let Ye Qingqing be responsible, so no one stopped him, and continued to be busy with his work while listening to Ye Qingqing's command. Drawing comics to draw comics, writing novels to write novels, and being in a daze. The last one in this state is Yang Jie......

Of course, if you say that she is in a daze, she is not happy, she is looking for inspiration to build notes, in addition to anime songs, since she came back out of the mountain, some old friends from before her came to invite songs, and she often writes for star singers.

Whenever she said this, Hongdou would despise her, thinking that it was just an excuse, but Zhang Qiuxi could understand it, because she would involuntarily be in a daze when she conceived the plot. However, in the eyes of the red beans, they don't think they are thinking about anything. (To be continued......) R1292
