Chapter 145 "Epic" Shooting Plan

According to the introduction of the script, the background of this story is quite grand. Even if all the details are removed, a movie cannot be finished, so they plan to make a series of movies, just like "Harry Potter".

Of course, this is the expected situation. If the shooting situation is not ideal or the box office is not good, the subsequent shooting plan may be cut off.

"The first investment reached [-] million?" Meng Xiaobai read after seeing the estimated investment amount.

Wu Binghui immediately explained: "If you want to make a real blockbuster, these investments are essential. The investment of seven "Harry Potter" films is 11.7 billion US dollars, and the global box office is 78 billion US dollars. The earlier "Lord of the Rings" three Song, "The Hobbit" trilogy, investment is quite a lot."

"It's not uncommon for current Hollywood blockbusters to invest hundreds of millions of dollars."

In fact, Wu Binghui was a little guilty. With such a large investment, Deep Space Digital Studio alone could not afford so much money, so he must report it to Meng Xiaobai for approval.He was worried that Meng Xiaobai would not agree, after all, no one in the country had the courage to invest in such a way!

"Why is this project worth investing in? Tell me your reasons." Meng Xiaobai sat down and asked seriously.

Wu Binghui had obviously done his homework, and immediately said: "I didn't make a decision on impulse. Deep Space Digital has been in operation for nearly a year. I found that there are no directors and capital in China who dare to make blockbuster movies. We feel that heroes are useless. .”

"In addition to animated films like "Nezha", we need a blockbuster film to gain the recognition of audiences, capital, and the global market."

Meng Xiaobai did not speak, but listened quietly.

"Mr. Meng, you know our technology best. We have enough technical capital to accomplish this! The estimated investment in the project is 40.00 million yuan, but our technology investment accounts for more than 3.2%. It is estimated that [-] million cash investment can be reduced!" Wu Binghui showed him another data sheet, which estimated various expenses.

"In terms of the cast, we didn't use any big-name stars, so we can reduce a lot of salary expenses. And the core of the movie, the story is not a problem. This fantasy story is the top domestic novel IP and has a considerable audience."

"For a reasonable adaptation, we invited the original author and top screenwriters to participate together to ensure that there are no problems with the script."

"As for the director, we invited the young director Mo Ziyi. He is very good at shooting fantasy and fantasy themes..."

Wu Binghui introduced them one by one, and Meng Xiaobai reviewed them one by one.This project, in fact, is still very risky.Because film art is not just as simple as special effects, it has a lot to do with scripts, directors, and actors.

Moreover, in the domestic film market, if the box office can reach one billion, it is considered an excellent work, and the investment will reach [-] million. Too few film and television investment circles dare to play this way, and generally all major capitals jointly invest, but this time, the main The investors only have Deep Space Technology, and the risks they face are even greater.

"Xiao Maruko, can you analyze it for me, is this investment plan highly feasible?" Meng Xiaobai asked in the office holding the project plan.

Maruko immediately analyzed the collected data, and she said: "Master, if you look at the past data, investing in such a movie is 90.00% likely to be a failure."

"But there are too many uncontrollable variables in this project, including the director, script, actors, special effects, publicity and audience recognition, and I can't make an accurate judgment. I can only be sure that if other domestic companies do this Things, the failure rate reaches 90.00% Five, if you do it, master, the success rate is as high as 50.00%."

"I understand." Meng Xiaobai nodded. Indeed, based on the idea given by Wu Binghui, what he wanted to invest in was an epic fantasy blockbuster.

Such a movie has extremely high requirements in all aspects, and the only stable amount that Deep Space Technology can control is the level of special effects production!

"Twenty years ago, foreign investors dared to make such blockbuster movies. Now I, Meng Xiaobai, have stronger technical capital than them, why can't I?" Meng Xiaobai said to himself, his company is only in the game business. You can earn one billion a month, and other companies are also making profits, 20 million?This is affordable!

Meng Xiaobai called Wu Binghui, and Wu Binghui was a little nervous. He wanted to find a more mature opportunity to report this project to the boss, but he didn't expect Mr. Meng to come to the Deep Space Digital Studio, so he hurriedly proposed it, otherwise he would not know that Mr. When is the time to come.

Although I know Mr. Meng is very courageous and dares to invest, but after all, this plan is too big. If the whole series of movies are made, the total investment may be close to [-] billion yuan!
Even Boss Meng wouldn't agree, would he?

Just as he was thinking about it, Meng Xiaobai suddenly asked, "Is there a script?"

"Yes! There is the original novel. As for the script, there is not much progress in the adaptation. There is only a trial draft of [-] words." Wu Binghui hurriedly asked for the things to be brought.

Meng Xiaobai flipped through the script. In fact, he has also read the original novel of this work. It is called "Shading the Sky", and it is a very popular fantasy novel.In the script, a lot of side plots and irrelevant characters have been deleted, but the main plot has not changed much. The characters have also been modified for film and television. Meng Xiaobai is quite satisfied after reading it.

Wu Binghui waited anxiously. For this plan, he had prepared for half a year.

"Yes." Meng Xiaobai said suddenly.

"The script is not bad." Wu Binghui said immediately, "I have revised this point more than a dozen times, and I even invited the director of "Nezha the Devil" to help with comments."

"I mean, this project can be invested." Meng Xiaobai said calmly, "I will ask the head office to approve the funds for you."

"Really?" Wu Binghui was a little overjoyed. In his assumption, even if he wanted to facilitate this matter, he would have to work with the boss for a few months. Who knows how long it took, but he agreed!
"Of course it's true, do you think I'm joking?" Meng Xiaobai asked back.

"This...Mr. Meng, so courageous!" Wu Binghui couldn't help feeling emotional, as if Mr. Meng's approval of this 800 million project was the same as approving [-] yuan!
"Since we are going to do it, we must do it well!" Meng Xiaobai continued, "I approve the money with conditions. You must be responsible for the whole process. This movie must show me that it is worth so much investment!"

"Mr. Meng, thank you for your trust! I will definitely do it!" Wu Binghui said excitedly. If this project is completed, it may be the most proud thing he has ever done in his life. Meng Xiaobai can give this opportunity , he wished he could yell a few times to vent his excitement.
