Chapter 424: A Worse World

What kind of level can an actor who has just debuted for four years probably reach?

Like Anqian, he came up to cooperate with Yuhuatian in "The Family of Gold Powder", followed by Tianlong Babu and the Condor Heroes, and the four years of debut are the pinnacle that many people can't reach.

And like Wu Tie, who has been debuting for decades, he doesn't dare to say that he has any status.

Lin Dong debuted for four years, starred in many movies, two or three TV series, and although he failed to become the best actor, he also won a lot of awards, including the best newcomer at the Venice International Film Festival, the best actor at the Spring City Film Festival, and was nominated for the best actor in Magnolia.

It can be regarded as the most successful development in the circle.

Just when everyone thought he was going to work hard in acting, he announced that he was going to be a director.

And the choices are not romance films or literary films that ordinary directors will choose when they just enter and exit, nor are they action crime films that are upgraded in difficulty.

Directly up is a Xianxia blockbuster.

The investment is said to be 350 million yuan.

invited Xu Wei to be the producer, Jiang Xiaojun to be the screenwriter, and Zhou Longxing was also named as a consultant.

With such a high investment cost, there is also a troika escort.

There was no need to deliberately greet the media, they immediately flocked to the station, scrambling for an interview position.

The opening ceremony was scheduled for June 21.

The second day of the Dragon Boat Festival holiday is also Father's Day.

It is written on the yellow calendar that it is advisable to be a priest, open a light, and pray for blessings, and avoid buying property, entering a house, and being buried.

The opening ceremony was held in Hengdian Film and Television City.

Originally, according to Lin Dong's idea, the start-up process did not need to be too complicated, the main actors and staff of the crew were brought together, several media were invited to interview on the spot, and the second master of Guan was finished with incense.

The main thing is the boot ceremony, no matter how grand you make it, you can't spend too much money.

But the opening ceremony of Xinshu Mountain can't be low-key if you want to.

Lin Dong himself has a very good connection, and as soon as he heard that his movie was about to start, everyone decided to take some time to save face.

If you don't let me go, you just don't give me face.

President of Zhongyou Media, President of Lightsaber Media, Vice President of Bona Films, Director of Yida Pictures, Prince of Prince, and others include Chase Animation, Chengcheng Pictures, and Maben Film and Television......

There are dozens of people from film and television companies alone, and several of them have come to the president or vice president-level figures.

Some of these people who come have a good relationship and cooperate with each other, but some are competitors who have been fighting for a long time, and they can't wait for each other to eat and choke to death.

But after coming, he was able to talk and smile, and there was no estrangement at all.

This is all to save Lin Dong's face.

Of course, there are those who don't know the details, and they will think that this is a peer in the circle giving Kleist face.

Jiang Xiaojun, the screenwriter, was present, attracting many big names and artists in the domestic entertainment industry.

It stands to reason that no matter what the considerations of the producer are, he will not dominate the crowd and let his aura affect the director himself to pretend, but Xu Wei did not keep a low profile this time.

He brought a large number of Xiangjiang celebrities.

Among them, there are more than a dozen actors and actresses.

At first glance, he was arguing with Jiang Xiaojun.

Lin Dong didn't stop it, you two fight, most of your careers are due to infighting.

Plus a variety of media present.

This opening ceremony is comparable to a film festival.

The guests sat down, the reporters were on both sides, and the cast and crew were on stage.

Sit behind a long table in a row.

This time, Boss Lin deserved to sit in the C position.

He will also take on the long guns and short guns of the reporters, as well as their interview questions.

After Lin Dong briefly introduced the project, she couldn't wait to ask: "Does the project of Xinshu Mountain really have an investment of 350 million, and is there any publicity in it?" ”

This young lady is very gentle, and the questions she asks are not polite at all.

"Our company has given very great support to this project, 350 million is just an initial budget, and if the budget is overrun, we will continue to add money." Lin Dong replied very seriously.

"Does that mean the budget is more than 350 million?" The young lady was stunned.

In fact, most people think the same as she thinks, thinking that the cost of 350 million is a gimmick.

There are too many such games in China, especially the batch of fifth-generation directors, who get hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn, some of which are real, and some of which are pure hype.

Everyone will take it for granted that you get what you pay for.

As long as the money is spent enough, the quality of the movie will definitely not be bad.

"Yes, and our company doesn't set a cap on it, and that's the end of the question about the cost of investment, the next one, the gentleman in the blue T-shirt on the left." Lin Dong is very sure.

This "Xinshu Mountain" is the same as Du Qixi's two movies, because it is a movie made by Kleist himself, there is no way to settle it immediately, and it can only be completed after the box office is completely out.

Compared to investing in outside movies, the settlement cycle is a big drawback.

But it's not that it's not without benefits at all, that is, before the settlement comes out, Lin Dong can make reasonable investment in the project without any restrictions.

So Lin Dong plans to use this project as a capital consumption machine.

As long as there is too much money at hand to spend it, let's find some reason to invest in it, so that we won't worry about the movie being demolished.

The quota for the cinema this year is full, fifteen cinemas, and Lin Dong doesn't dare to spend money casually, so he must be cautious about investing.

"Hello, I'm a reporter from the film and television headlines, what I want to ask is that not long ago, Huaxia Star Company and Guangjin Pictures jointly announced that they will create a fantasy mythological film with a god background, and the director is Director Xu's visual effects design Xu Quan's "Legend of Shu Mountain", the same theme on both sides, the same investment scale, and this inextricable relationship, may I ask Director Lin, will you regard "Legend of the Gods" as the main competitor?"

It turned out that this project was taken over by Huaxia Star and Guangjin Pictures.

Lin Dong has actually been exposed to this project.

At that time, when I saw the cast and the amount of investment, I was directly frightened.

Declusively refused.

Unexpectedly, they also got the investment, and they are about to shoot.

Maybe it will be released at the same time in the future.

Hehe, "Xinshu Mountain" originally didn't plan to be too good-looking, but when the time comes, when it is compared with "Legend of the Gods", it is obviously very different, and it is even more impossible to have a market.

Even those floor scrubbers who said that they would give Huaxia special effects movies a chance probably didn't have the face to wash the floor for "Xinshu Mountain".

It's a worse world than bad.

As long as everyone else is worse than you, you are the fattest and you can be the final winner.

However, although he thought so in his heart, Lin Dong still had no intention of verbally provoking this competitor, but said sincerely: "The actors who participated in that drama are actors I like and respect very much, and Director Li Quan is also a filmmaker who has won many awards, I hope to learn from them, everyone makes progress together, and there is no life-and-death competition." ”
