Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry

Latest website: Although Tian Ming's script uses the general framework setting of "The Wandering Earth", the specific storyline and character creation have been greatly changed.

After all, the real world is different from Chen Feng's dream world, and the many details involved ultimately led to many changes in the script, which Chen Feng can understand.

Moreover, Tian Ming's script is larger in some aspects, and the discussion about human nature and the dark side is also very clear. The conflicts in the film become more intense and the plot is full of tension.

After Chen Feng read the new script in detail, he actually had a hearty feeling. Relatively speaking, the script written by Tian Ming was better than the movie in the dream world!

If it can be filmed according to this script, Chen Feng feels that this version of "The Wandering Earth" will be even more exciting!

Of course, Chen Feng also put forward some better suggestions based on his own memory. Tian Ming also attached great importance to Chen Feng's ideas. After all, even the concept of 'Wandering Earth' was proposed by Chen Feng. Everyone's opinions on his Naturally, they all respect it.

However, when making science fiction movies, in addition to the script, the technical conditions currently available are also a very important limiting factor. Sometimes, no matter how exciting and enjoyable the script is, it is all in vain if it cannot be filmed. Therefore, in the adjustment of the script During the process, Fang Cheng, as well as Mike and James, also actively participated in the discussion.

While everyone was studying the script, they were evaluating the conditions required for filming and the investment costs required to film the film.

…

Science fiction movies are indeed very expensive. After a period of research, Beidou Entertainment finally gave preliminary evaluation results.

If you want to perfectly shoot all the scenes and stories in the script, you will need a total investment of about 300 million!

This is still an early estimate and is not very accurate. As the shooting situation progresses, there may even be more in the future.

There is no doubt that this is one of the most expensive films in the history of Chinese-language films. If there are more additions later, it may directly rank first!

With such a high investment cost, in the future the box office of a movie will have to exceed at least one billion to avoid losing money.

Although there are more and more movies that have exceeded one billion, no one can guarantee that the next film will break one billion.

And it’s a science fiction film,

Chinese science fiction film!

Although Beidou Entertainment's last film "Deep Space Trek" has already exceeded 1 billion in box office, the subsequent release of "Escape from the Mother Planet" directly caused the reputation of "Deep Space Trek" to drop to the worst. If people know that "The Wandering Earth" " is also produced by Beidou Entertainment and is written by Tian Ming, so no one should have any confidence in this film.

Therefore, at this moment, "The Wandering Earth" is facing a very embarrassing situation.

Most people or companies outside the world are not optimistic about this new Chinese science fiction blockbuster!

Originally, it was expected that Beidou Entertainment would invest about 100 million in "The Wandering Earth", and then Chen Feng's Ping An Investment, Tailang Entertainment, and Shushan Pictures would jointly invest another 100 million, leaving the remaining 100 million. , will be put into the film market and absorb other scattered investments.

But I never expected that when the "Wandering Earth" project was made public to the outside world, not many people were interested in it.

No one wants to invest in this movie!

Even if there are people who want to invest, most of them just want to invest one or two million to try their luck. These people just have the mentality that it doesn't matter if they lose, and if they can make a profit, they will be lucky.

In this case, it is difficult to digest the 100 million share put into the market.

This is depressing.

There is no way, now everyone really has no hope for Chinese science fiction movies.

Even this behavior of Beidou Entertainment was regarded as a laughing stock by several peer companies in the industry.

Among them is Rongxing Media.

Rongxing Media's "Love and Intelligence" also achieved good box office results during October 1st, which allowed them to experience the crazy money-absorbing ability of the film market.

Later, after seeing the popularity of "Escape from the Mother Planet", they became even more coveted for those foreign science fiction blockbusters, and soon began to use their own resources and connections to prepare for some agency distribution work for imported films.

Although generally speaking, resources in this area are controlled by some exclusive companies at the upper level, Rongxing Media's backend resources are really powerful, and they actually snatched the quota of several films by them.

This makes Rongxing Media very excited. After all, this kind of thing is almost equivalent to making money while lying down. Moreover, generally speaking, the producers of foreign films can only take about 25% of the rest. It's just that Rongxing himself has negotiated a share with the theater chain. With Rongxing's ability, he might be able to get more.

So, with such a good opportunity, how can they afford to watch Beidou Entertainment's so-called Chinese science fiction movies?

Especially some time ago, the movie "Deep Space Trek" produced by Beidou Entertainment has been criticized by countless people. With such lessons learned, the audience and movie fans should have lost confidence in them.

In the Chinese film industry, science fiction movies really don’t have much to offer!

Although some other companies do not have the resources like Rongxing Media, they are also cautious about Beidou Entertainment's new science fiction project. Moreover, this time Beidou Entertainment directly released an open share of 100 million, which shows that the movie's The investment scale is at least three to four billion, and if you want to make money by investing in such a project, the final movie box office needs to be very high.

No one has such courage and confidence.

In fact, several parties that have participated in the "Wandering Earth" project have been ridiculed to a certain extent.

Chen Feng's Ping An Investment, Xu Tailang's Tailang Entertainment, Li Ziqiang's Shushan Pictures... Although many people didn't say it openly, they were secretly waiting to see their jokes.

"Science fiction movies, haha, after watching "Escape" made by Hao Laiwu, I still have the confidence to make a Chinese science fiction movie. These people are really brave."

"I'm afraid I won't even have any panties left to pay for it in the future!"

"It doesn't matter. People are rich. For example, Boss Chen made a profit of 250 million from one movie. Losing such a small amount of money is nothing... Besides, if this time is successful in the end, maybe he can make a few more 100 million……"

"Wow, I'm so sore!"

…

In recent days, similar remarks have become common in the circle. Even Wu Hengjiang, Chen Feng, Xu Tailang, and Li Ziqiang have met them many times. However, no one said anything to refute, because at this time, they only There is no point in arguing. Everything needs to be verified by the box office results after the film is released.
