Chinese blockbuster.

A term that is not very old.

"The investment is more than 300 million!" "Hollywood-grade special effects!" Promotional terms such as "shocking big scenes and world-class visual experience", "international actor joining" and "epic sci-fi" have repeatedly appeared in the hearts of Chinese fans, and the hearts of Chinese fans have been stirred up......

In their eyes, this is hope, enthusiasm, the first step for Chinese films to go to the world and compete with Hollywood blockbusters, and the progress of China.

The pre-sale tickets were sold out overnight, and the word of mouth spread in the market, and the seating rate of Changhong was full at the premiere, breaking the historical record......

But gradually......

When a few Chinese blockbusters were really released, Chinese fans suddenly began to fall silent collectively.

Although the special effects are not five-cent, they are so spicy that they make people want to cry.

The actors suddenly seemed to be unable to perform, and kept saying all kinds of embarrassing lines and doing some illogical plots.

The plot is not only scattered, but it seems to be a plot made up to praise a rich second-generation little fresh meat to be handsome, and the little fresh meat is expressionless and crying so much that people want to laugh......

……

All kinds of slots that subvert the cognition of movie fans make people wonder why works with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars can be filmed so badly, and people don't know how to scold if they want to.

Moreover, it's not like a movie, almost every year, every movie that plays the gimmick of a "domestic blockbuster" is like this.

The originally enthusiastic "domestic blockbuster" didn't know when it began, and it became a derogatory term ridiculed by netizens......

Huaxia is like this on its own side.

Hollywood filmmakers that year were even more exaggerated, directly treating China's domestic blockbusters as a joke after dinner, especially in the Hollywood special effects circle......

They almost regard these Huaxia producers as synonymous with being stupid and rich people.

"Mr. Mark."

"These Chinese people have been backward for too long, they are all humble in their bones, and they are poor and sour in their skins, but they have the same shrewdness as a small citizen, but the more humble people are, the more vain they are, and the more they hope to be praised and recognized by us......"

"Like those interns from Huaxia, as long as we give a little favor, they will treat us as gods......

"They'll call us right away......"

"After all, they need our Hollywood special effects, and they can't do anything without our Hollywood special effects......"

Vitas Huaxia Branch.

The assistant looked at Mark with a smile on his face.

Mark nodded, his eyes looking into the distance, a smile on his face and nodded.

…………………………

Night.

Deep.

Li Qiang, who is the head of the post-production group, is still on the phone.

Hollywood special effects never seem to have any intention of cutting prices for Chinese movies.

If you have a good attitude, it's not easy to explain the special effects to you, every penny will be spent on the blade, and if you have a bad attitude, you just hang up the phone.

Although the special effects of "Spider-Man" are expensive, they will definitely not reach the exaggerated point of a staggering "100 million dollars".

$100 million......

Close to 700 million RMB!

In Hollywood blockbusters, this kind of special effects cost may not be nothing, but in Zhou Yang's Huaxing, such an investment is very likely to determine the subsequent fate of a company.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became silent.

"You can find someone else to inject capital together and share the risk......"

"We have done several projects before, and each project has been a great success, and I believe that there will be capital willing to invest in "Spider-Man".

"Like Wanda's young son Wang Sikai, like several of our cooperative companies, like your fans and some friends in the industry......"

“……”

Wang Jing, who was busy with things, also came to Zhou Yang's office.

After looking at the silent Li Qiang and Zhou Yang, she began to propose.

After listening to Wang Jing's words, Zhou Yang did not answer, but lay on his back on the chair and looked at the ceiling in a daze.

It's not a matter of investment......

He was aware of one thing.

That is, the special effects of local Chinese blockbusters have almost been monopolized by "Hollywood productions".

If Chinese local films want to make good special effects blockbusters, they can only cooperate with Hollywood, and can only passively accept expensive amounts and reduce investment in other parts of the film.

It was like I was choked in my throat, and I couldn't even breathe.

He didn't understand special effects, but in Li Qiang's eyes, he also knew that it was impossible for "Spider-Man" to spend so much money on special effects......

It's almost a money grab.

After being silent for a long time, Zhou Yang finally looked at Li Qiang.

"Brother Qiang...... How about our local special effects in China? ”

"It's okay to make a little bit of a small production, but if you're really going to make a big one...... Still can't do anything, I don't know in a few years, but now there are really some gaps at the technical level......"

"Why is there a gap?"

"Hollywood special effects control all aspects of Chinese blockbusters, and part of the post-processing of the movie "The Grandmaster" is actually carried out with the help of the Hollywood team...... For a student who graduated from a professional college, the price of an internship offered by a Hollywood special effects company is twice that of Huaxia Company, and cutting-edge talents want to get into it...... The more cutting-edge talents there are, the more meticulous and meticulous the things they make, the easier it is to harvest the Huaxia market...... And those second-rate, third-rate talents went to the Huaxia special effects company, after going to the Huaxia special effects company, the overall quality of the staff is not as good as overseas special effects companies, it is difficult to get market recognition, can not get market recognition, in the vicious circle, all aspects of computer instruments naturally have no money to buy, can not keep up with the times, can not keep up with the times, the more vicious the circle......" Li Qiang looked at Zhou Yang, with a somewhat helpless expression on his face.

"Huaxia actually has talents, right?"

"Yes, there are talents, but all the talents have been poached......"

“……”

The office fell silent again.

Zhou Yang silently looked at the darkness outside the window, and began to feel a little powerless in his heart.

At this moment, he found that he could not do anything.

After a long time, he looked at Wang Jing.

"Sister Jing, let's do it, let's mention it to the cooperative enterprise units, saying that we want to make a blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions...... Let's see if anyone is willing to cooperate in filming, if there is, we are willing to accept each other's investment, let's just say that the investment in "Spider-Man", well, the investment is about 400 million yuan, maybe a little more, or a little less......"

"Well, good!" Wang Jing nodded: "I'll contact you now." ”

When Wang Jing left with her mobile phone, only Zhou Yang and Li Qiang were left in the office.

"Brother Qiang......"

"yes, yes."

"Do you know any local special effects personnel in Huaxia in the post-production stage? These days, you help me run, it's better to form a team, not to do special effects, or to help me get a detailed budget for "Spider-Man", I want to know how much investment I need to show for those shots......"

"Okay."

Li Qiang nodded.

Pick up the Spider-Man materials and leave the office silently.

After Li Qiang left, Zhou Yang continued to look down and began to read the script of "Spider-Man".

After watching it for a while, he picked up the phone and made a call to Huang Jiacheng.

"Hey ......"

"Director Huang, I want to talk to you about something......"

"Xiao Zhou, I just want to talk to you, I just heard that you want to invest 400 million to make a Chinese special effects blockbuster, right?"

"Yes!"

"Xiao Zhou, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, you must be calm, in this industry, I have seen too many directors who became an instant hit, and began to irrationally want to make Chinese special effects blockbusters, with an investment of hundreds of millions, 200 million...... Zhou Yilin's "Gold Price in the City", with an investment of more than 300 million, barely made a small profit after receiving countless advertisements......

"Director Huang, I think "Spider-Man" can be ......"

"Xiao Zhou, listen to me first, Chen Kai, Director Chen's "Tianji", do you know? has invested nearly 300 million, and now his reputation is scarce, and he is still defending whether his "Tianji" is a bad movie...... Director Chen Kai, who can make a film like "Overlord", which is famous in the film industry, is he amazing? Talent and artistic ideas are not inferior to you, right? 's status in the film industry was much better than you before, and his fate was like this, let alone you...... It's not that I don't trust you, but I hope you don't be impulsive and calm down......"

“……”

"I really don't doubt your ability and keen understanding of the market, but the risk is too great, invest 400 million, even if it is 300 million, you have to at least one billion yuan at the global box office to pay back, Chinese blockbusters are in a very embarrassing situation in Hollywood, like a joke, it is really difficult to compare with Hollywood blockbusters......"

On the phone.

Huang Jiacheng said a series of words very anxiously, and gave Zhou Yang many examples of Chinese directors.

"Chinese blockbuster", he is too sensitive.

Countless directors in China are talented, and their commercial sensitivity is explosive, and they can move forward step by step steadily, but while they are patting, they suddenly have a hot brain, what kind of special effects blockbuster to make......

Then not only did the bottoms be torn, but even the reputation of the follow-up movies directly "exploded on the spot" and collapsed.

Chen Kai is a most vivid example!

When he heard that Zhou Yang suddenly wanted to make this kind of blockbuster, and the investment budget was going to break 400 million, Huang Jiacheng's first feeling was that he was another "Chen Kai".

When Zhou Yang heard Huang Jiacheng dissuade himself from all sides, with a strong sense of concern in his voice, he felt a little warmth in his heart.

When Huang Jiacheng finished speaking, Zhou Yang sighed.

"Director Huang, but I still want to try ......"

"......" was silent on the other end of the phone, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

"Director Huang, I would like to borrow the special effects team of our "Grandmaster", if you have time, it would be better to help guide some of the fighting actions of some traditional martial arts in "Spider-Man......"

"......" was still silent on the other end of the phone.

"Director Huang?"

"Have you really decided?" Huang Jiacheng asked again.

"It's decided."

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with these, how long will you shoot "Spider-Man", and how long will I take the team to follow your crew, but I still hope you think about it and don't be so impulsive......"

"Director Huang, believe me."

"When did I not believe you? Only, this time, forget it! I'll also invest 10 million......"

"Ahh

"The book of "Grandmaster 2" can help me think about it together."

"Good!"

Zhou Yang hung up the phone.

Look at the script.

He changed the characters of "Spider-Man".

Will Peter. Parker was designed as a little person who worships Chinese kung fu and learned a little bit of Chinese kung fu according to the comics, but because of the congenital reasons of his body since he was a child, he relied on traditional Chinese medicine to continue his life, but he has been bullied and despised by others......
