After sending Tencent into a panic with a rumor, and apologizing again and again, Wang Zhengfei turned his attention to movies again. Time has entered early December. The post-production of his film debut and directorial debut "Immortality" has been completed. The next step is
It was sent to the Radio, Film and Television Bureau for review. This is not a problem, because there is nothing in conflict with the socialist society in the whole article. Even if the leaders of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau are too full to do anything, they have to cut a few cuts.
It proves that I am awesome and you all have to listen to me, but it will not affect the whole story.
There wasn't much post-production to do. After settling the calculation, including the staff's wages, machine rental, shooting room rental and a series of other things, it was only 50,000 yuan, of which 20% was
Gao Yan produced machines and accounted for 20%.
But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, the investment is not much. With such a short shooting time and such a small shooting cost, it can basically be said to be a high-quality shooting. The celebrities who agreed to shoot were all in vain.
I came up with this idea and didn’t expect to gain anything through this.
Gao Yan's main focus is still on Xingchen's self-made movies. However, it is too difficult to find a script that has a small investment and can have a good box office. He still doesn't have a clue. Wang Zhengfei has something in his mind.
It's a small idea, but unfortunately, even the cheapest one starts at five million. It's impossible for Xingchen Entertainment to support two million.
It’s funny to think about the combination of these two people. Neither of them is money-hungry. Although Wang Zhengfei doesn’t have much spare money now, he still has a lot in Ruifeng Technology. Although Renren is expanding aggressively,
Not short of those few million.
As for Gao Yan, although Wang Zhengfei still doesn't know what his background is, it is definitely not that simple to think of a man who can easily get 50 million venture capital. If you want to mobilize, you can't come up with millions. Wang Zhengfei is
I don't believe it no matter what.
However, neither of the two people is willing to use the other side of the relationship. The boundaries are extremely clear. They would rather keep going like this than compromise. They can basically be said to be from the same surname. Maybe they have bad tempers so that they can talk together. Although they know each other.
It hasn't been long, but it feels like we have known each other for many years and we get along very well.
The cost is not high, but because of this, Wang Zhengfei is a little worried about whether it can be released. The domestic groups with distribution qualifications are several relatively powerful companies such as Shanghai Film and Television, China Film and Television. Although other companies are also qualified for distribution, they are not as qualified as the national ones.
The distribution strength is not good enough, and the theater chain it affects is not enough.
But for "Immortal" to be able to be released, thank God. For those distribution companies, they also want to see profits. If there is no potential film, they will not allow it to be released. It will be a waste of resources.
waste money.
Generally speaking, whether this has potential is actually related to whether the investment is large. In ordinary people's opinion, only movies with large investment can attract audiences into the cinema and avoid shoddy works to the greatest extent. Therefore, there are generally
Those who invest 50 million dare to call out the false figure of 100 million investment.
The figures released by the producers are all unbelievable. Think about it, it is impossible to save. For example, in the previous life, Jackie Chan claimed to have invested more than 150 million in "Myth", and the total box office in Asia was around this number. According to
In the box office dividend distribution process, half of it has to be distributed to theaters and distributors. If the investment is really 150 million, there is no time to celebrate when the box office exceeds 100 million. It is too late to cry.
However, Wang Zhengfei's "Immortal" is very low-cost at first glance. Even if Potian can ask for a million yuan in production costs, it will be unreasonable. No one will believe it no matter how much it is. There are no special effects or martial arts.
A pitiful movie with only a few scenes can have millions of investments. It is really like the behavior of a prodigal, and the audience is not a fool.
The only brand that can be played is that so many big names are concentrated in one movie. This is definitely a miracle, let alone a self-filmed self-entertainment movie that does not even require an investment of 100,000, even if it costs tens of millions.
None of the movies can bring together Chen Daoming, Wang Gang, Huang Xiaoming, etc. who are either established celebrities or the new generation of popular niche actors at the same time.
Just because Wang Zhengfei was able to do it doesn't mean it can be copied. Apart from Wang Zhengfei's friendship with them, the biggest reason is that the shooting time was so short. It was absolutely rare. It only took one day to complete, and it was easy and there was no martial arts.
They are just cheering for the show, so why not do it.
This is destined to be a miracle, a miracle that is difficult to copy, especially since he does not have to pay for the film, and this is not a main theme movie. Except for super theme movies like "The Founding of the Republic", movies that pay tribute to the motherland, there are no movies.
can do it.
Although Wang Zhengfei had been prepared to fail from the beginning. After all, the money invested was not much, and it was more like a test of playing hostility. But if he really failed, how would he feel?
"Zhengfei, now that the post-production has been completed and the release permit has been obtained, we are only one step away from releasing it!" Gao Yan said to Wang Zhengfei with a smile.
Obtaining a public screening license is not complicated. As long as there is nothing against the country and a healthy mind, you can pass it. Of course, even so, you will inevitably have to be cut twice. Otherwise, how can you show the wisdom of the leaders of the Radio, Film and Television Bureau?
"Now I have contacted several distributors to see if anyone is willing to act as an agent!" Gao Yan said. He didn't know much about the distribution industry before, but now he understands that a movie distributor accounts for about 20% of the box office.
The remaining theater chains and producers are equally divided. Although it seems that the distributor is getting money for free, in fact, the distributor is not free from the cost of distributing the film industry. If the cost of the 20% profit chain is not enough, then
, the publisher is not that stupid to act as an agent for them.
Obviously, "Immortality" is the kind of movie that is very likely to make them lose money. Although "Immortality" is full of superstars, after all, the investment is too small, and presumably all kinds of funds will not be available. In order to achieve a good box office
It’s very difficult. Don’t even run out of money by then.
"If it doesn't work, we can find private agents. Although their strength is not as strong as those monopoly giants, it is still better than not being able to even release it in the end!" Gao Yan suggested.
