Halo of cheating in the entertainment industry

Chapter 290 Officially Finished

October 1, Beijing.

In the studio, after the last supplementary shot was shot, the whole crew immediately burst into laughter. The 4-month-long filming has finally come to an end.

From September to now, everyone has experienced a lot, learned a lot, and gained a lot.From the beginning to the end of the whole film, from the first shot to the present, the film with the largest investment in the history of Chinese film was born in their performance and work.

For the actors, it was also a difficult four months. They suffered a lot, suffered a lot, traveled thousands of kilometers across the country, and moved to six or seven different cities.

Now, finally liberated, and finally finished the film, the rest of the time will be left to Su Li and the others, and most of the actors' responsibilities have been completed.

Everyone fell into a brief carnival, and they all looked a little excited, so even if Fan Bingbing hugged Su Li in joy, Yang Mi was not unhappy seeing this.Su Li himself even felt the urge to burst into tears, but he suppressed it.It has been seven months since the preparation started in May last year, and now it is finally taking shape in my hands.

The piles of film are the sign of the end of this battle. For the actors, the film has come to an end, but for Zu Li, the Long March is not over yet.

The next thing, even more tedious in some cases

The first is the issue of editing and post-production special effects. These two items cannot be handled without Su Li, and he has to be responsible for specific guidance.

The editor also invited the best in the country. This blockbuster has been berserk all the way to the end, and the funds have been continuously invested without any mercy. Su Li didn't blink his eyes at the huge investment, full of decisive.

The special effects were all given to Fen Ying, and now Fen Ying is completely an affiliated team under Li Guang Entertainment. For the post-production of "Inception", Su Li discussed with them countless times.

Now this film wants to win the final battle, which is very critical here.

The second is the issue of publicity. The publicity of this movie will definitely not be limited to China.

Su Li has even spent [-] million RMB in publicity expenses. Such a large amount of money made some people in the know feel that Su Li is really crazy, and he would do anything for an "Inception".

This [-] million RMB publicity fee is only a few million in China. After all, the gimmick of the Chinese film with the largest investment in history is enough for Chinese movie fans to slowly chew on it.At that time, as long as the fuse is lightly lit, the fire of propaganda in China will instantly start a prairie fire.

Most of their money goes abroad, first of all in Asia.

Under the influence of "Source Code" and "The Book of Lebanon", Su Li is already one of the most outstanding young stars in Asia. Su Li's filming of "Inception" has also been affirmed in Asia. degree of attention.Zu Li deliberately asked people outside to say that "Inception" and "Source Code" are also science fiction films, and they may have certain similarities in some places.

This immediately attracted everyone's attention. After all, in the past year, "Source Code" was one of the most popular films in Asia. Just after it was released, it became a big hit in the Asian film market, breaking through ten figures. The box office figures are even more jaw-dropping.Therefore, now "Inception", which is said to be the movie with the largest investment in Chinese film history, immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The Asian market is an important battlefield where "Inception" wants to recover its costs. For the promotion here, Zuli and the others have spared no effort, at least investing enough publicity in several major countries.

Then came the North American market. After "Source Code", many people knew about Su Li, and they knew a little bit about "Inception".

Because of the success of the cooperation on "Source Code", many distributors and theater operators in North America have established contact with Liguang Entertainment, and they will also help promote "Inception" before it is released.In the North American market, Zuli and the others also plan to invest a lot of publicity expenses, at least to let Americans know that the director who made "Source Code" has a new movie again, and his new movie will be very good.

The two major markets of Asia and North America will take up a lot of publicity costs, but all this is far from over.

In this "Inception", Zurich is the whole world.

It will spare no effort to promote it in Europe. In fact, Zu Li knows that his "Inception" may be the most popular place in Europe.

Europe is the philosophical center of the world. People on this map like to think. Smart movies like "Inception" are even more popular in Europe than in China.

Therefore, Su Li even plans to spend more money on publicity in Europe. "Source Code" was not released in Europe before, but it also caused a lot of repercussions. Liguang Entertainment Company relied on v to make money in Europe. Tens of millions of dollars, people there also know about "Source Code", know about Zuli, and occasionally know a little about "Inception".Europe is likely to become the region with the largest publicity investment for "Inception".

As soon as the final version of "Inception" comes out, Liguang Entertainment will immediately send it to the Cannes Film Festival and the Venice International Film Festival. Whether it can win an award is another matter.

The markets that "Inception" wants to attack mainly are these places, Europe, Asia, North America... basically that's all. Zuli has no plans to infiltrate other places and doesn't have the ability. We can only see if someone If you want Inception, let them play it.In other regions, the main profit method is still only through v.

In order to promote in these places, what Su Li and the others have to do is to cut out the trailer of "Inception" first, and synthesize some JNG clips with special effects first, so that everyone can know more about "Inception" What kind of movie is it.

Post-production and publicity constitute the two major problems that Zu Li will face next, but it is definitely not easy for him after he started in 2010-first, he must complete all the post-production of "Inception" with everyone, and in mid-February Participating in the Spring Festival Gala, I have to go to several small concerts one after another in March, I have the Golden Image Awards in April, I am going to Cannes in May, and in May is the preliminary scheduled release of "Inception" time……

Sure enough, filming "Inception" can not rest easy at all, Su Li still needs a lot of time to do the follow-up of this movie.

------

On the afternoon of January 1th, the press conference for the official completion of "Inception" was held in Beijing. The stars who participated in the press conference were quite complete - Su Li, Yang Mi, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, Deng Chao, Chen Daoming all Arrived here, many dissatisfied reporters gathered here, waiting for the official start of the press conference.

Sitting in front of the stage, Su Li, who had just removed his make-up, looked haggard that couldn't be concealed. The other actors were also more or less in a bad mood.

The reporters thought that this must be a difficult filming process, so their desire to ask questions became even hotter.

So, after the press officer had just allowed the reporters to start asking questions, each of them couldn't wait.

The first reporter who was called out quickly stood up from the crowd, held up the microphone and gave Su Li his interview opportunity without hesitation.

"Mr. Su Li, now that the movie is finished, can you tell us about the filming of this movie?" This person's question is still a bit tricky, and it will take a long time for Su Li to answer it properly.

After thinking about it for a while, Su Li said: "I have said a lot about this movie. What I can do now is to make a summary. The whole movie has been in seven provinces and cities across the country, with dozens of scenes. It has been more than four months, and now that all the filming has been completed, I finally feel more at ease. This movie has more than 900 shots, and now it is officially transferred to post-production, and it is expected to be released in the middle of this year..."

He said a lot, and these things are more exposed, he continued: "I would like to thank all the people who cared, supported, and helped this movie, and thank the hard-working actors. During the filming process, until the night It may be commonplace to go to bed after two... and it is also troublesome to change scenes every now and then. The other staff members have also paid a lot for this movie. Express my thanks."

The reporters applauded one after another, regardless of whether Su Li was being hypocritical or sincere, applauding was considered polite.

After the next question, the reporter asked sharply: "Judging from some current news, the investment in "Inception" has already exceeded... Can you tell us how you plan to recover this huge amount of cost?"

This question has actually been asked before, but now it has more meanings when it is asked aloud. There are even rumors that the investment in "Inception" has directly exceeded 10 billion. This figure is jaw-dropping, although everyone I know it's impossible, but it's true that "Inception" has overinvested.

Su Li said: "It's like this. During the filming of "Inception", there was a deviation compared with some estimates. In terms of action scenes, we invested a lot more than the budget. In addition, in order to match the burning Special effects studio, we also temporarily increased the snow mountain shooting scene... Such investment is indeed much higher than expected."

"As for the issue of cost recovery, I have already said that the key now is to make something that everyone likes. Only when everyone likes it will the box office have the power to grow. Judging from the current shooting progress, I can confidently say that I have achieved the expected goal of my shooting, as long as there are no problems in the follow-up processing, then I can confidently say that everyone will like "Inception"..."

"Papa papa" applause rang out again, and after accepting a few interviews, Su Li gave the interview opportunity to other actors, and he listened quietly beside him.
