Chapter 440: Brilliant Infernal Affairs

"This Cheng Fang company, don't look at their investment is 87 million, less than 100 million, but this company is basically Qian Xingyu's." At this time, Sun Yunzhang was discussing these plans with Li Chencan, and was also discussing in detail all aspects involved in this financing plan.

Qian Xingyu ...... You wait. ”

Li Chencan searched for this name in his mind, and then said, "Is it related to the Cultural Bureau?" ”

"Well, his father is a deputy director of the Cultural Bureau, and his subordinates are quite powerful." Sun Yunzhang nodded and said.

"I see." Li Chencan nodded at this time: "However, I am making a movie, and I am in business, and this film will make money when the time comes, and I will give them a lot of money according to the contract." It doesn't matter who his family is, it's the same. I'm not going to take advantage of him and ask him to get some deals for this movie......"

"Well, just think of it that way." Sun Yunzhang said: "I'm just going to tell you casually, now it's a partner, so let you know a little bit more about them." ”

"Okay." Li Chencan nodded: "The others are mainly businessmen in other industries, right?" ”

"Well, basically most of them didn't have the experience of investing in movies before." Sun Yunzhang also said to Li Chencan simply.

"Oh......" Li Chencan sighed, and then said: "In this way, it is indeed necessary to make this film well, and you can't let these people be cheated for money for the first time when they invest in movies......

"Huh...... You're kind of thinking about them. Sun Yunzhang smiled.

Li Chencan also smiled and didn't speak.

After the financing plan was finally completed, Li Chencan also gained confidence. All kinds of things began to unfold gradually, and after the last movie "Infernal Affairs", Li Chencan has also accumulated a lot of experience in many aspects. In controlling the big scenes of the movie, Li Chencan does not lack anything, and it does not take much time to complete.

Now that there are funds as a guarantee, such things will also go more smoothly.

Soon, various investment budgets, rental equipment, etc. were also started.

His new film will be shot with a 3DIMAX camera. The choice of 3D is also the result of Li Chencan's careful consideration.

The 3D development of this time and space is somewhat similar to that of another time and space - the 3D technology is not too low, but it depends on whether the filmmakers really plan to use the 3D technology well.

In that time and space, there was a sincere work of conscience in the industry like "Avatar". But there are also a lot of cheating movies that start with "War of the Gods" and "only the subtitles are in 3D". Over time, it has developed and turned into something that everyone wants to boycott as a technique that benefits movies.

After all, 3D movie tickets are more expensive than 2D, which extends to such a large number of things.

In that plane. China's 3D is even more cheating...... Many movies that don't have them want to shine with 3D movies. Charge a little more, but most of China's 3D screens are very dark, losing light, and the 3D effect is still a lot of painting, and over time, the audience is really miserable, and there is a resistance to 3D.

And so, more things happened. Some people have touched the hearts of Chinese audiences, and most of the 3D effects are floating clouds. But a lot of on-screen effects have been made, so that people can dodge the objects that keep flying out of the screen when they dodge left and right, and praise this movie 3D effect is awesome...... In fact, China's 3D market is becoming more and more chaotic and urgently needs to be regulated.

IN THIS TIME AND SPACE, CHINA'S 3D SCREENS ARE BASICALLY USING REAL3D TECHNOLOGY, AND THERE IS NO LOSS IN LIGHT AND THE LIKE, SO THE MOVIES THAT HURT EVERYONE HAVE BECOME SO-CALLED 3D MOVIES WITH NO 3D EFFECTS.

Li Chencan's requirements for movie quality, of course, do not allow him to shoot the kind of 3D movies that cheat people's money, but if you want to really make a movie with excellent 3D effects, and it is also a war movie, if you want to make all the effects of 3D movies, it takes too many things.

There are only 3 IMAX3D cameras in China, and this camera technology comes from European and American countries, so this camera and technology are all transliterated, and everyone calls it a Max camera, and many times the writing is written in English.

In the beginning, these cameras had to be subsidized by studios to use them, but since some IMAX3D movies started to make a lot of money, these machines need to be booked in advance and the cost is very high.

Of course, it is impossible for Li Chencan's new film to be shot with an IMAX3D camera for every shot, and there is no need for that, but there are at least 20-30 minutes of footage in the movie that need to be shot with an IMAX3D camera, which not only requires a reservation at the beginning, but also requires a high rental fee.

Otherwise, the film will be shot in Europe, which is needless to say...... Absolute forcing is a huge expense.

But one of the major selling points of this film is the most authentic feedback on the war, without concealment, without concealment, and without a third-party perspective to say how unbearable Nazi Germany was, that is, without adding any emotion to it, it is like that in the position of war. In addition, in the description of the war scenes, the movie also adopts the most realistic method, without any falsehood, no camouflage for anyone, and no show for anyone.

But it's not that simple to shoot these two words, the real two words, it seems easier to say, but after you really start shooting, it takes not only time and energy, but also a lot of money......

A lot of the investment in the film was also put into it.

Li Chencan and the others also specially found some people who could be in charge of these things to come over to help, this was found by virtue of the connections of Li Guang Film Company, he mainly coordinated various preparations, this person's name is Hou Qing, in his forties, and he is quite capable anyway.

While doing this, by mid-March, the partners who had passed the financing also began to put the first tranche of funds into the special account set up for the new film. In fact, of course, the start-up capital of this movie does not use so much money, and Li Chencan's personal studio still has enough money for the launch of the movie...... At most, it is only two or three hundred million, and Li Chencan's personal studio still has so much money.

However, Li Chencan's personal studio still included their money in the film's account according to some agreements, which is mainly to establish the credibility of cooperation between the two parties, otherwise it is not easy to say if there are some problems. In short, many times you have to do business like that, you can't just don't follow some rules because you think you can, otherwise it's easy to go wrong.

The project and various preparations for the film were officially carried out after receiving these injections.

Li Chencan has once again realized the power of money, although he has earned a lot of money, and a "Infernal Affairs" has made him earn so much. However, when encountering such a huge investment, after all, because the foundation is too shallow, he still does not have enough money to make movies.

A penny is difficult to beat a hero, and sometimes, when money is in trouble, directors and the like have to compromise with others and investors.

Fortunately, most of these companies are investing in movies for the first time, and after the contract, they did not criticize the movie, nor did they send the stars they wanted to praise, so Li Chencan basically maintained his absolute control of the movie...... But he didn't want that to happen again, and if there was a next time, he still wanted to be able to invest in his own films without anyone's control.

As a result, he also has more desire to make money.

Li Chencan's personal studio can come up with a total of 670 million funds to invest in new movies, these are the results of detailed calculations, and the money in their studio account is less than 400 million, and the rest still needs some copyright and other income in the later stage to make up for it.

At this time, Li Chencan finally received two good news - before he asked outsiders to suspend all the overseas copyright sales of "Infernal Affairs" that had not been negotiated, and patiently waited for the Golden Dragon Award at the Yenching International Film Festival, and now, the good news is coming: In this year's Golden Dragon Award at the Yenching International Film Festival, "Infernal Affairs" was shortlisted for 5 awards!

The influence of the Golden Dragon Award at the Yenching International Film Festival is comparable to that of the American Academy Film Awards (Academy Awards), it is conceivable that in such a super award, let alone winning awards, even if it is just nominated, the energy of a film itself has increased a lot!

The sales of DVD copyrights of movies, many of which still need to rely on the nominations and awards of the film in some awards to be improved a second time, "Infernal Affairs" was shortlisted for five awards at the Golden Dragon Awards, and its value immediately increased a lot! This also allows Li Chencan's personal studio to have more funds to spend on the tossing and turning of the movie.

Li Chencan's idea, of course, is to let "Infernal Affairs" continue to suppress the matter of copyright sales, and wait until the Golden Dragon Award passes, and then raise the issue of copyright sales such as overseas DVDs of "Infernal Affairs".

The second good news is that the release of "Infernal Affairs" in North America has officially begun! In the first weekend of release, it earned $31.2 million at the box office! According to the sharing agreement, Li Chencan's personal studio can also get a box office share of about 10 million US dollars after various tosses and turns, which is equivalent to 50 million national yuan!

"Infernal Affairs...... What a lucky star! When Li Chencan heard this good news, his heart also cheered.

This film really has a huge effect on the financial dilemma that Li Chencan's personal studio is facing now, whether it is winning awards or being released elsewhere. If "Infernal Affairs" continues to this extent, it will bring a lot of follow-up income to Li Chencan's personal studio......

It's really great! (To be continued......)
