Big names rise

Lan Chenxing wrote this script based on the panda burning incense incident that ravaged the Internet five years ago and still makes thousands of netizens deeply afraid. I casually wrote a story about a program that almost destroyed the domestic network world.

It was convenient for Lan Chenxing to write this script, because Li Jun, the father of Panda Burning Incense, used his amazing talent to start working in network security after he was released from prison. After Tudou.com was bought by Xiao Fang and He Mu, Boss Xiao A lot of money hired Li Jun as the company's network security director to ensure the safety and stability of Tudou. Quite a legendary script.

He Mu and the others are in the United States at this time, and the post-production of "Zi Bu Yu 2" is nearing completion. He Mu told Lan Mingzhu that he is free for three months from the completion of "Zi Bu Yu 2" to its release. , after 2 is released, he has to help himself with the later stage of 3, so if he wants to be the director himself, he should complete this work in these three months. In terms of funds, let him tell Chen Li that the tens of millions The following companies can all invest, and if they are higher, they may have to recruit some partners to share the risk.

"Boss, isn't it a little tight for three months? The script still needs to be polished and revised, the script needs to be written, the crew needs to be formed, and the scene and actors need to be selected. How can I be so busy!" Lan Mingzhu complained Dao, the excitement of directing the tube at the beginning did not make him lose his mind, he clearly knew that he was not superhuman.

"I can't control this. Although it takes three months from the script to the finalization, it's a bit short. But for a film of this scale, the shooting process doesn't take much time. As long as the preparation is done properly, it can be completed." He Mu estimated.However, he did have to consider that Lan Mingzhu was a new director, and the company couldn't support him as much as Tao Quduo.

"Zhuzi like this, if you really feel that it is difficult to do it yourself, why don't you ask Dewey to help you, I think the two of you cooperate very well, and the book "Panda Burning Incense" involves some high-tech concepts. You know a lot." He Mu suggested.Dewey Cook did not come to the United States with the crew, but continued his studies in Beijing Film Academy.

Lan Mingzhu thought for a while, and felt that it made sense.Dewey's fat boy is still very smart, and Hollywood-style thinking can also help this movie more in line with the tastes of the public. You can discuss it with him after you return to China, but it won't work.Call him now.Let him prepare in the country first, time waits for no one.

After deciding on the low-cost movie "Panda Burning Incense", He Mu continued to invest in the post-production of "Zibuyu 2". Hollywood's computer special effects technology is indeed unique.

Although the digital field is no longer brilliant, the technical level is still leading the world. Simply put, it is a good job. Even the best po Chaoting, Xiantao Digital, and base fx in China are not as good.

However, the charges in the digital field are also expensive, mainly due to high labor costs and more workmanship.Fortunately, the prospects of the "Zibuyu" series are very good, and He Mu is willing to throw money into it.Although the money is considered a big deal for Chinese-language films, it is a small project for the digital field, and it cannot alleviate the company's financial problems at all. After close contact with He Mu, he is even more sure that the digital field seems to be in big trouble.

Domestically, the tragic "Sedek Bale" failed to become a dark horse at the box office, but it did not fail miserably. It competed with the 4 million blockbuster "Mission: Impossible 1.55" on the same schedule. It has greatly reduced the financial pressure of Director Wei Desheng, and I really want to thank Wanda Cinemas for this. If the filming of "Sedek" is given to "Disc 4", their income may be higher, but they still have no hesitation Supporting this popular national war epic is by no means just because they also have a share in the distribution of this movie.

Subsequent "Art School Girl 3" and "Alien Battlefield" with a production cost of 2 million+ US dollars were released on the same day. At the same time, we had to deal with Bona's word-of-mouth blockbuster Hua Tsai's "Peach Sister" and Anle's new director Zhou Xianyang's "The Big Manhunt", a local battle, "Art School 3" slightly beat "The Big Manhunt", slightly inferior to "Peach Sister", and made 2050 million yuan in the first week, which made Lin Tsingyi's heart fall to the ground. screwed up.

Although a large part of such a high box office is attributable to Shuimu Forest's publicity strength and the good reputation of Tao Quduo's previous works, if her filming is particularly poor, I am afraid that there will not be so many audiences who appreciate it. Everyone who has seen it said She is challenging the bottom line of radio and television. Blood plasma and stumps make people watch "Chain Saw". These comments make her very proud. She is Lin Qingyi who doesn't like red makeup but loves plasma.

He Mu can only observe the film situation in China from a distance, but in the United States, he can observe the North American film market closely and participate in it. For example, he was invited to participate in the premiere of "The Hunger Games".He is not familiar with the director Gary Rose, and he has no friendship with the leading actors Jennifer Lawrence and Josh Hutcherson, but the film producer Robin Binance is his friend, and the producer Jeff Stark is his Brother-in-law, and he, along with Robin and Jeff, is one of the Big Three of Rubik's Cube Films, and he is also the boss of this movie.

He Mu said it was difficult for Jeff to invest such a large sum of 7000 million US dollars to make such a movie, and even dealt with the bank for it. He Mu said that he was not surprised by the high production cost. With an upper-middle scale, there are not a few movies with 7000 million or even 1 million+.He just doubts whether such a movie will really have a good market response.

Jeff's minimum expectation for this movie is 1.5 million US dollars in North America. Last year, "Kung Fu Panda 2" and "Mission: Impossible 4", which are regarded as special effects and action blockbusters in the eyes of Chinese people, only earned 1.5 million+ dollars in North America. A young actor with a story that is not fantastic but rather dark, can it really have a box office of 3 million US dollars in this fucking time of March?

Although he has some doubts, He Mu still has to admire Jeff. He is indeed a senior distributor who has been in Hollywood for more than ten years. The success of "The Hunger Games" actually allowed "The Hunger Games" to get the support of 1+ theaters in the first week. This kind of opening scale is already very large. He Mu doesn't have much research on North American box office, but he has the impression that the opening scale of theaters exceeds 2. There are not many. It seems that there are "Transformers 4000", "Iron Man 4000", "Twilight 2", "Batman: The Dark Knight", etc., which are basically sequels or prequel movies that are popular, even " "Alien Battlefield" is a super blockbuster with a price of 2 million US dollars, which is only close to 3 museums.It can also be seen from this that the promotion and marketing of "The Hunger Games" in the early stage was very successful. No matter how bad it is, over 2.5 million is definitely a sure thing. (To be continued..)
