Chapter 443 Boot Conference
"Saving Private Ryan"?
People who pay attention to Li Chencan saw the title of this film for the first time, and then started to forward it as quickly as possible.
Retweet the news of this movie.
"Li Chencan is about to start making a new movie again! "Saving Private Ryan", a war movie! "There are quite a few people who immediately began to promote such a thing, and when they reposted it around the neck, they also added a lot of their own support and other statements.
"Li Chencan is a big deal this time!"
In the midst of everyone's discussions, on the scarf of Li Chencan's personal studio, he immediately began to release the second message-
"Saving Private Ryan" is the fourth film directed by Li Chencan, and it is also the third major film directed by himself, with a budget investment of 1.3 billion national dollars, which will be filmed in Europe, and epicly reshape the grand scenes of the Normandy landings."
At this moment, everyone immediately saw Li Chencan's determination and the courage he showed when filming this movie.
"1.3 billion! This guy is really big this time, and he's going to shoot in Europe? Filming Normandy? But...... He made so much money in "Infernal Affairs"? So that he can make such a big movie? β
"Who said you can only make movies with your own money?" Someone immediately replied: "He won't raise money!" β
"Financing...... The risk is even greater! He actually spent so much money to shoot a new movie, and he thought that his new movie would only have an investment of two or three hundred million at most, which is more than the investment of "Infernal Affairs". But it's not too outrageous, who would have thought that such a turn would reach 1.3 billion! He's too much, right? β
"1.3 billion...... That's not a small number! Many people can't help but start saying, "This is the time to push the limits of imagination." Li Chencan's previous filming of "Infernal Affairs" did make a lot of money, but now the investment has directly increased thirteen times...... I don't know what Lu Dao said, but I always feel that this is a big risk. β
"Li Chencan's risk is not big, in fact, we don't have to worry about him, after all, he is not just a director, just look at the things he writes, as well as the songs he writes and sings. Even if his film really can't recover the cost, he can still have 10,000 ways to make himself still rich...... So we don't need the emperor to be in a hurry, and the eunuchs are not in a hurry. β
β¦β¦ Everyone has different opinions on this matter, but no matter what kind of opinion it is, everyone likes to express their opinions. This opinion has been expressed too much, and the topic has been stirred up.
Even give some money, #ζ―ζε€§ε ΅ηζ©#θΏδΈͺθ―ι’ε°±θ½θΏηδΈε΄θηι¦ι‘΅.
One can imagine how hot this topic is.
Soon. Some forward-looking comments from all walks of life have also begun to appear. Some veteran film analysts are not very interested in this matter, commenting: ""Saving Private Ryan" is indeed a movie with risks, and Li Chencan's huge investment also has high risks, but no matter what we say, this is someone else's business after all, whether it is investment or making a movie." It's all like that, it all belongs to someone else. It's just that from a purely cinematic point of view, such an investment carries a high risk. β
And some people look at the problem from a different angle: "Indeed, the movie "Saving Private Ryan" looks like the investment is really too big, 1.3 billion! That's how much to invest! It is many times more than "Infernal Affairs", but from another point of view, we can examine Li Chencan's various records. Since he wrote "Those Things in the Ming Dynasty", he has always grown in people's doubts, and has surprised everyone with his performance again and again, and his movies and investment have been doubling, but we believe that what Li Chencan has not changed is his clear plan for the road ahead, and he must be the one who plans and then acts. β
β¦β¦ Such a statement immediately attracted a lot of people.
Indeed, in the past, Li Chencan's age, his qualifications, etc., would affect everyone's judgment of him and make everyone feel that he was unreliable.
And he is always doing some fanciful things, always playing crossover, which makes people question him more and more......
However, when he has been winning, age, seniority, and cross-border are no longer a problem! Because he was full of the aura of victory. Such an aura is almost a kind of inertia, which makes people believe that Li Chencan will continue to win, there is no doubt about this.
As a result, there are more and more people who support Li Chencan.
Soon, Li Chencan's personal studio also released a scarf again, saying that "Saving Private Ryan" will still have a simple start-up press conference, and some media will be invited to the scene at that time, but their start-up press conference is not the official start of the movie, because after the movie officially starts, it will be filmed in Europe.
The Normandy landings and other scenes from "Saving Private Ryan" will be filmed in Normandy, Europe, which of course will cost a huge amount of money. As for the street battles in the city, Li Chencan and the others will return to China to build scenes for filming, supplemented by post-production, there is no problem......
There is no way to land on Obaha Beach, although it can be filmed on set, but in that case, it will lose its real texture, after all, the beach is not so easy to build. However, the street battles in the later period, after all, did not involve many places, and European-style buildings and ruins could be built with the efforts of the complete and supporting film industry in China.
Although "Saving Private Ryan" is a magnificent and most realistic war film in history, most of the war scenes in this movie also take place in a limited space, and the street battles in the later stage, although the battle scenes are very intense, but after all, they only happened in that one place. So, it can be established here through the later stage, which may be a bit time-consuming and consumes a lot of money, but it is more than enough to represent the war.
Anyway, if such a landscape is built in Europe, it will definitely cost a lot of money, but the most important thing is that it is ...... in Europe That place is too far away, and if you shoot movies there for a long time, the money loss is quite terrifying, and in China, although the cost of labor and other funds is not low, at least on its own turf, it is much better than in Europe.
Based on these ideas, "Saving Private Ryan" will be filmed in two parts, first going to Europe to shoot the previous battle on Obaha Beach, and some of the battles in between, and then returning to China to shoot the street fighting in the city, which is the last big battle.
The film will hold a kick-off press conference at China Overseas on April 18.
At the time of the press conference, the actors who had received various training also returned, and at that time, they had also undergone a long period of military training, and they could already meet the filming at that time.
In the period from the launch conference to the launch conference, the advance team in Europe, which has spent a lot of money, will build all the scenes there according to Li Chencan's requirements, which are all in accordance with Li Chencan's requirements, and these upfront costs alone will also invest tens of millions of funds, but compared to the subsequent shooting, tens of millions is not too much......
After the launch event, on April 20, the film will officially start shooting in Europe, and it is roughly expected that by the beginning of June, the film will be able to shoot in Europe, and then return to China, and the film will be officially completed in mid-July......
When the film is shot in Europe, the construction of the Chinese side will also be in full swing, after all, it is necessary to build such a street, and the time and money required are not small. Of course, not all houses are built, if they are built into houses, the vast majority of the investment in the movie will be smashed in them, and the way to use it at that time is to modify some of the current houses, and it is a house that looks more suitable for modification...... After all, there are all kinds of film and television works in China, and similar houses are not too difficult to find.
This is according to Li Chencan's shooting plan, of course, he also knows that in the specific implementation process, it is very likely that the accounting plan will not be able to catch up with the changes, and there will be a lot of things at that time.
The movie has not yet been officially finalized...... But Li Chencan wants to make the movie a tough one, and have a hard fight in China's Chinese New Year stalls!
These are Li Chencan's plans, if they are executed well, then according to his plans, the movie will definitely be relatively good...... Of course, the premise is to shoot well.
β¦β¦ At the same time that "Saving Private Ryan" began to release news and released the specific news of the boot conference, "Infernal Affairs" was also a succession in North America.
After the first week of "Infernal Affairs" won the box office week in North America, the box office of the second week of the movie also came out...... In the second week, it still got a box office of 34.27 million US dollars, and in the third week, it got a box office of 17.58 million US dollars, and after three weeks, the total box office of "Infernal Affairs" in North America has reached 83 million US dollars!
It should not be a problem for "Infernal Affairs" to break 100 million US dollars at the box office in North America, and when the time comes, Li Chencan's personal studio will be able to get a lot of dividends from it, and after the end of the Yenching International Film Festival, many overseas copyrights of "Infernal Affairs" can continue to be negotiated, and they can earn a sum of money at that time...... Plus other financing......
In short, as long as the production and distribution of "Saving Private Ryan" does not exceed 1 billion, there is no problem in terms of funding if the movie wants to be filmed. Although this is a lot of money, Li Chencan believes that he will definitely be able to earn it back in the future.
April 18 was fast approaching, and many curious media members were already on the scene. (To be continued......)
