Cao Sisi was thinking wildly here, while Shen Huan and Yan Shan were also chatting about movies.
"I think Chinese movies will definitely develop towards the industrialization and special effects of the United States in the future." Yan Shan said eloquently, "Our Chinese country actually has very good themes. Whether it is Journey to the West or The Romance of the Gods, or Ancient myths and stories such as the Legend of Gods and the Classic of Mountains and Seas can all be developed into very powerful universes.
If we work hard in this area, we will definitely greatly improve the international status of Chinese films, especially covering the entire Asia, and turn this place into our territory again! "
Shen Huan smiled slightly, "You are really ambitious! But I think there may be no chance in three to five years."
Yan Shan also knew that what he said was unreliable, but after hearing what Shen Huan meant, his eyes lit up, "Has Mr. Chu already prepared to make a big series of movies?"
"There are still a few scripts." Shen Huan said harmoniously, "But I looked at it and found that it would cost 500 million or 800 million, and it's still untouchable now."
"Don't you two have money in Fengxiang Film and Television?" Yan Shan suggested, "Since it is Teacher Chu's book, it must be guaranteed, why not do it yourself?"
"The market capacity is not enough." Shen Huan replied seriously.
The types of movies Yan Shan mentioned have actually been discussed in previous lives, and they are definitely feasible.
It’s just that the time, manpower, financial resources, etc. spent are countless.
Director Wu, who is a bit more decent, made three "Fengshen Yanyi" films, all of which cost 1.5 billion yuan in production costs. You can imagine how much investment there was.
Don't say anything else.
Now that Shen Huan is asking Dad Yang to spend 1.5 billion to make a series of movies, Dad Yang's heart will be trembling.
Only in the future, when China's movie box office alone can reach more than 2 billion, 3 billion, 4 billion, or 5 billion, will the perceptions of these film company bosses change and they will dare to invest heavily.
Give a very simple example.
When filming "Assembly", Huayi's boss Wang had to buy two houses of his own to pay for the filming.
As a result, two or three years later, there was already a boss who dared to invest 400 million to shoot a dramatic disaster movie - "The Wheel" without blinking an eye.
Of course, in the end, the movie lost nearly 350 million yuan, which made investors want to commit suicide, and also consumed Mr. Bai Ge's last bit of fame.
This is the consequence of blind investment without looking at the overall market!
Yan Shan is also a very smart person, and he agreed when he heard this.
So far, the number one domestic box office hit in China is "New Dragon Gate Inn" directed by his eldest brother Yan Shan, with a box office of 1.15 billion.
Calculated based on the final net dividend of 35%, investors can receive around 400 million.
The scenes, layout, costumes, special effects, etc. of "New Dragon Inn" alone cost 100 million.
This does not include actors' salaries, production costs, etc.
In the end, it cost almost 200 million to make. This was thanks to a group of movie queens and movie stars who only received a symbolic salary ranging from 1 million to 3 million, and were optimistic about the dividends from the movie.
Otherwise, I’m afraid even 250 million won’t be able to stop it.
Of course, in the end, because it broke the Chinese box office record, the total global box office reached more than 4 billion, and Boss Yang’s dividends exceeded 700 million, which is another big figure.
But if you invest 500 million from the beginning, even if you can break the 1.15 billion box office, how much more can you get at most
It needs a domestic box office of 1.43 billion to break even!
You don’t even dare to estimate the foreign box office. It fluctuates up and down, and no one can tell for sure.
Therefore, the investment of 500 million or 800 million is really worthy of discussion and caution.
Speaking of this, Yan Shan couldn't help but ask: "So Teacher Lu, when do you think the time is right?"
Shen Huan looked at him and said, "If there is that era, special effects and large-scale production will become the mainstream, are you not afraid that comedies will be left behind?"
Yan Shan was slightly startled, then shook his head and said: "How is that possible? Although there will be a huge market for big-budget and special-effects movies, the types of comedies are different. Everyone relies on their ability to make a living. I have never heard of this Movies in this category have captured the entire market.”
Shen Huan laughed loudly, but immediately said nothing, but slowly started eating.
Yan Shan's heart is full of energy, and his judgment is also very accurate.
Unlike Hollywood, where special effects films almost dominate the box office, Chinese comedies still account for a large share.
In the previous life, the domestic box office of Chinese movies started with "囧" and skyrocketed crazily with one movie a year.
Although in the year when Shen Huan traveled through time, the patriotic "Wolf Warrior 2" was still ranked first, but the second-placed "Nezha Comes to the World" was a comedy animated special effects film with a box office of more than 4.9 billion.
If this doesn't explain it, then the sixth-placed "The Mermaid" with 3.39 billion is a serious comedy directed by Zhou Xingxing.
The seventh-placed "Detective Chinatown 2" with 3.37 billion is also a detective comedy.
Among the top ten, comedy-related films account for 3 seats, which is already amazing.
In the hearts of Chinese movie fans, comedy can never be replaced by so-called special effects blockbusters.
Seeing that Shen Huan didn't answer, Cao Sisi felt a little itchy, so she gave Shen Huan a piece of eel and said in a sweet voice: "Teacher Lu, don't just smile. If you have any opinions, just tell me." , are we still outsiders?”
have to!
On the first day we met, we were no longer outsiders!
However, as long as a beautiful woman's words are not too brainless, they will never be annoying to men.
Shen Huan was eating, pointed at the bag Yan Shan placed next to him, and said calmly: "Director Yan, the first step in capacity growth, the hope of breaking the 1.5 billion domestic box office, lies with you!"
Yan Shan's breathing suddenly became tight!
He immediately understood what Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang expected from this family comedy.
Being able to put such a movie in his hands, Yan Shan suddenly felt a little heavy on his shoulders.
Originally, Yan Shan was still thinking that if there were too many restrictions, he would definitely have to think carefully, and at the worst, strive for more benefits and initiative.
Now that I look at it, I think it’s a waste to fight for it!
The number one box office in China, with an astonishing box office of 1.5 billion, where can I put it without being robbed
Even if the two teachers, Lu Xiaofeng and Chu Liuxiang, don’t know enough, or their predictions are slightly off, with their enthusiasm, there is absolutely no problem in breaking 1 billion!
Cao Sisi next to her was even more stunned, with a dazzling light shining in her eyes.
For the first time tonight, she had the thought of feeling sorry for Yan Shan.
But she couldn't help it!
Teacher Chu Liuxiang, who are you?
