After becoming an investor and producer, Shen Xudong is most disgusted by the 'filmmakers' who keep talking about their ideals and dreams...

I don't understand anything, and I dare to open my mouth to ask for money!

Anyone who has done film and television projects seriously knows that the most important point in the preliminary evaluation is to investigate the audience of the film and the box office that this audience can bring, so as to formulate a reasonable production cost range.

Do you dare to ask for 60 million for a literary film?

A movie with a cost of 60 million has to have a box office of at least 200 million to pay off.

What is the concept of 60 million?

Even in the broader market of American independent films, it is a lot of money!

The cost of the two films "Dallas Buyers Club" and "Manchester by the Sea" is about 8 million US dollars, which is converted into RMB and less than 50 million.

What's even more outrageous is that an estimated cost of 5 million to 8 million was written in a script shot in China, Japan and South Korea.

Sometimes I wonder if these directors have never been on a plane, and I don't know if they have dragged so many people (at least 50 people for a complete crew) to Japan, not to mention filming, just eating and drinking for three days plus round-trip air tickets are almost 3 million.

"As for the Film Bureau's special fund to encourage filmmakers with dreams? I think it's kind of... France, Canada, Germany and other countries have their own film auxiliary policies, and then the local market is beaten and retreated... What's worse is that the support fund has become a plaything for a unique group! ”

Why don't you get a movie grant?

It's not very useful, Taiwan did it back then, and then completely pushed Taiwanese movies to the opposite side of the audience - the directors don't have to point to the box office to return to the cost, and frantically entrainment private goods to shoot some things that they don't have, they don't care if the audience understands it or not, it's better if they can't understand it, and it seems that I don't want to be literary and artistic if they understand it.

On the other hand... It is because of what Shen Xudong said - there is a monopoly...

Since it's a film grant, who should it be given to?

It's definitely for those famous directors who have already made a name for themselves...

It's easy for these people to form an inherent interest team - cheat and make up for it!

Speaking of this, Shen Xudong suddenly lost interest and changed the topic: "What do you think of "Titanic 3D" to be released next month? ”

Yin Hong immediately answered: "This issue is also what we will discuss next... Ning Hao, tell me about it! ”

Ning Hao took the microphone and didn't get up, and said directly: "I originally thought about the 3D transformation in the later stage, the movie, the important thing is the story, the source of "Titanic" can be seen everywhere, so there is no need to worry about it at all... But Xudong told me to analyze the audience... Nowadays, the age of our mainstream movie-watching group is generally post-85 and post-90, these people are different from us, the first Hollywood movie they know is "Titanic", and they have not seen it in the cinema... If you have the opportunity to watch a movie in the cinema, they will definitely buy a ticket! ”

After a pause, he continued: "It is very likely to set off a phenomenal movie..."

After Ning Hao finished speaking, Yang Shupeng, who was sitting below, stood up directly: "I think people who have seen it once don't want to watch it a second time!" I won't watch it anyway, the so-called 3D re-screening is actually just a circle of money! ”

Guan Hu next to him also interjected: "Yes, Titanic is a classic, but this is already a movie more than ten years ago, I don't think a movie more than ten years ago can make the audience pay!" ”

Ning Hao waved his hand: "I don't believe it either... But what Xudong said is absolute! ”

A group of people looked at Shen Xudong, who smiled: "Make a bet, I bet that the mainland box office of "Titanic 3D" will be at least 500 million..."

Before the people below could speak, Shen Xudong changed his mind: "500 million is too unchallenging, so be it, 800 million!" ”

"Bet? What to bet on? ”

“… What to bet on? ”

Shen Xudong thought for a while: "Forget it, you just make a prediction for me, there's nothing to bet on!" ”

These people don't have what Shen Xudong wants at all...

……

The three of them got in the car and rushed to the hotel they had made, and Xu Zheng drove and hit the road.

Shen Xudong and Ning Hao are chatting...

Ning Hao took Yue Xiaojun all the way south to Dali some time ago.

"Xiaojun is divorced, and I accompany him to get him out of the shadows..."

"That's... Got out? ”

"It's not bad, it's kind of coming out."

Ning Hao told a few stories of hunting...

It's just spending money on tea...

"If you have an idea, you can write this story into a script and make a movie!"

“… Made into a movie? ”

"yes..."

Xu Guangtou, who was driving in the front seat, interjected: "Yes, this is a very typical road movie..."

"A friend accompanied a divorced old friend to Dali, and originally wanted to take him to hunt for beauty, but it turned out that along the way, his friend himself was already enjoying happiness..."

“… You wait for me to finish filming "No Man's Land" before you get this..."

"Yes, you have a studio anyway, so you can do whatever you want... But there is one thing, don't ink, if you have a problem with the script, contact me as soon as possible! ”

Ning Hao nodded, "Okay!" ”

Xu Guangtou opened the topic: "I read the report that Desheng's "Saidek Bale" has received wide acclaim in Venice..."

"Which one is reporting?"

"I don't remember, it seems to be news on the Internet..."

Ning Hao interjected: "This movie is not good! ”

"You've seen it?"

"Well, Gao Jun invited me to see it, and it's the full version... It's long, depressing, disgusting, and the level of editing is low. It's hard to understand what kind of mentality the director cut like this. A long description of how savage and ignorant they were, and they did not know how to advance or retreat as beasts. But it's not a documentary, it's a drama-style confrontation between heroes and demons... What exactly does he want to express when he cuts it like this? ”

"I read some Taiwanese media reports, and they said that the so-called Wushe incident was actually a conflict between the civilized Japanese army and the barbaric students because of a lack of communication... On the surface, "Saidekba Lai" is singing the praises of barbarism, but in fact it is not, he is criticizing! ”

Xu Zheng looked at Shen Xudong: "Xudong, what do you think?" ”

Shen Xudong waved his hand: "It's not that complicated, it's just that I shot too many shots that I thought were good and I was reluctant to throw them away, so I shoehorned them all in." ”

"But I'm optimistic that multimedia is all touting!"

"Love to blow it or not, Gao Jun said, this film will give 10% of the film schedule in the first three days at most, and the box office will continue to be lined up if it can come up, and if it can't come up, it doesn't matter!"

Yes, the 'good reputation' of "Saidek Bale" was first praised by Taiwanese audiences, media, and the film and television industry, and then attracted celebrities, film critics, and stars from all walks of life in the mainland to pursue the film - a Taiwanese epic!

However, the audience was not cold!

The original time and space, the May 1st file was released, catching up with the moral attack of the two movies "The Avengers" and "Men in Black 2".

That's it, a bunch of celebrities lamented - especially Han Han, praised 'This is a movie that is definitely worth going to the cinema to watch...'

Why are audiences reluctant to watch "Sydek"?

Don't talk about any ideology, an author's movie is still a bit avant-garde, and box office failure is too normal!
