Seclusion in the Entertainment Industry

In Chen Feng's dream world, "Shark Beach" is a typical foreign masterpiece with low cost and high box office. When it was released in China, the box office results were also very good. It can be said that it exceeded most people's expectations.

Moreover, in the dream world, shark-themed horror movies have long been popularized by a major foreign director. When "Shark Beach" was released, this theme was relatively vulgar, but it was still It received good reviews and box office success.

This shows that this film does have its own unique charm.

But in this world, although there have been a few shark-themed movies, most of them have not caused much waves. Therefore, in this world, sharks are still a relatively new subject.

Therefore, if Zuo Fei and the others can really produce "Shark Beach", it is very likely to directly detonate the box office!

Of course, it’s possible that you still can’t make any waves, and everything is possible.

But after all, this is just a low-cost film. Even if it fails, Chen Feng will not be too distressed.

Therefore, as long as Zuo Fei's new script was not too bad, Chen Feng would dare to invest in them.

For a film like this, if you don't pursue too exquisite special effects, the cost of two to three million is actually enough.

Well, let’s give young people like Zuo Fei and the others a chance.

…

When Chen Feng, Zuo Fei and the others finished talking and returned to their room, An Ruohua was turning on the computer and checking something.

Seeing Chen Feng coming back, An Ruohua turned around and said with a smile, "Is the discussion over? What's the result?"

Chen Feng nodded: "Not bad, young people with great ideas... I have asked them to go back and revise the script. If the script is revised well, I can invest in them."

An Ruohua nodded.

"However, will the shark theme really be popular? Although everyone knows that sharks can eat people and it is scary, but it seems that it is difficult to shoot...the special effects are also difficult to do...By the way, is this movie? Are you also going to ask Mike and James’ special effects company for help?”

Chen Feng shook his head.

"No, even if special effects are required for the film "Shark Beach", they are low-cost special effects with special props. This film is positioned as a low-cost film and will not really invest too much energy and money. , after all, most of the next time will be spent on "The Wandering Earth"."

"Well...that's good..." An Ruohua nodded.

No matter what he does, Chen Feng can always distinguish the importance of problems when dealing with them, which makes people feel reassured.

"By the way, the preliminary box office and word-of-mouth reviews of several films scheduled for this year's Spring Festival have been released." An Ruohua said, pointing to the computer in front of her.

“As everyone expected, there was not one hit this year, and the box office of several movies was not high, and they were about the same... However, perhaps due to the influence of the ticket price of 3D movies,

The overall box office market actually continues to rise! "

Chen Feng followed An Ruohua's instructions and took a look at the real-time movie box office rankings. Sure enough, the spring schedule this time was really balanced.

However, what is strange is that several of the movies in the Spring Festival this time are 3D movies, full of gimmicks, and the average ticket price has increased by more than ten yuan.

No wonder, the box office market remains strong.

But in the end, the only ones who will be hurt are the audience and movie fans.

No one will be disappointed when they spend more money to see a less exciting movie.

Audiences and movie fans, this is really easy to fool.

If this situation keeps happening, no matter how prosperous the Chinese-language film market is, it will probably collapse quickly in the end.

Because in the final analysis, the audience is the key factor in the market. If the audience directly abandons Chinese-language movies, then how can we talk about the market?

Looking at the somewhat abnormal real-time box office rankings in front of them, Chen Feng and An Ruohua fell silent.

After a long time, An Ruohua asked softly: "When will our "The Wandering Earth" be released?"

Chen Feng thought for a while: "I'm afraid I have to wait until at least October, or even New Year's Day... In fact, the more time it is like this, the less urgent it is. Only truly excellent works can turn the market around, and we can't just put the original products into the market just for the sake of the market." What can be made better is made into a defective product.”

This is indeed the truth. Even if the current audience and movie fans have a shadow of Chinese 3D movies, the more this happens, the more "The Wandering Earth" needs to continue to be polished.

Audiences may be disappointed after seeing a few bad movies, but when they see a quality movie again, they will be full of hope.

What a lovely audience.

…

After the Spring Festival, Chen Feng and An Ruohua stayed in Qiongzhou for two more weeks.

After the windy weather passed, Chen Feng finally took An Ruohua to rent a yacht and go for a few laps on the sea.

This feeling of traveling in the sea is indeed great.

After Zhao Tan played with him a few times, he went to do his own business. He couldn't stay in Qiongzhou for too long. After all, Longtan Town in Kyoto City still needed him to take charge of the work. After filming a few videos of going to the sea, he would have to gone back.

Chen Feng and An Ruohua also plan to return to Kyoto City on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. The new year has begun, and the "Wandering Earth" project will be officially launched soon. Chen Feng has a lot of work to do.

Even An Ruohua needs to continue to control Ping An Investment, and related specific work is inseparable from her.

However, just before Chen Feng and An Ruohua left Qiongzhou City, Zuo Fei had already revised the script and sent it over in person.

This is not a book that Zuo Fei made randomly in order to rush for time. On the contrary, the book is very exciting because he had the ambition to make a regular feature film from the beginning, but was restricted by practical conditions and changed it into a short film.

Now that he has the opportunity to write the feature film in his mind, he is naturally full of passion and creative motivation.

So the new script he has written now is really exciting.

After reading the new script, Chen Feng nodded with great satisfaction.

"Okay, I'll vote for your project!"

After hearing Chen Feng's words, Zuo Fei's initial nervousness suddenly disappeared.

Moreover, I don't know why, but at this moment, Zuo Fei was thinking about many issues clearly in his mind.

About investment methods, about the formation of the crew, about the selection of actors, about how to deal with post-production special effects, etc...

Zuo Fei surprisingly calmly asked all these questions one by one.

Chen Feng was also very patient and answered everything he could.

As for more detailed issues, you need to wait until you return to Kyoto City before signing a detailed contract.

However, there was one of them that Zuo Fei was very concerned about.

"About the actor...the heroine...I hope to continue to use my friend Lan Jingjing...about this..."

Chen Feng interrupted him, smiled and said, "I won't get involved in any of this. I only care about the final film."
