China Entertainment King of Science Fiction

Chapter 118 Night Banquet (Part 2)

Not only Ning Hao, but other directors were also a little surprised.

The Mekong case has a relatively large social influence. I have heard that it needs to be filmed and television. The TV series version was filmed last year, but the movie version has not been launched yet.

I never expected that the movie version was related to Chen Jingxing.

It seems that this is a joint production by Guoying and DreamWorks.

If this news spreads, it will definitely cause shock in the industry.

DreamWorks has been established less than a year since its establishment, and has become a new star in the industry with "Comet" and "Fatal Identity".

After the New Year, two science fiction film projects were announced in a row and invested in a top special effects studio in the industry. There is constant news and it can be said that it is the trendsetter for domestic film and television companies.

Now I have been with the Chinese Film again, and I have eaten such a large piece of cake, which is like a triple jump.

As long as "Signal" or "Source Code" has enough market performance, DreamWorks will immediately become a film company second only to the five major traditional studios.

Even if DreamWorks only accounts for half of its share, it will have to bear more than 80 million yuan.

Lu Yang's "Embroidered Spring Sword" and Xiao Yang's "The Dragon Crossing the River" will be released in the summer season soon.

Once there is any mistake in the two projects, "Signal" and "Source Code", the box office failure, or other difficulties are delayed in the release of the film, DreamWorks will encounter great difficulties. The process between the production and the final release of the film is real.

There are too many risks and uncertainties.

Chen Sicheng didn't think much about it and replied: "I guess I'll get 80 million, at least 70 million, and it can't be less."

"Why is it delayed?"

Chen Sicheng smiled and said, "This may have something to do with Lao Ning's "The Road to Flower" because "The Road to Flower" is scheduled to be released on August 6th, only one week later than "The Witch of the White Hair", "The Road to Flower"

After all, "Release" is different from other movies. It is a popular work of the same level as "The Witch of the White Hair". Zhang Weiping is probably worried that the box office will be affected, so he wants to leave the summer vacation simply."

Chen Sicheng definitely didn't expect that in another plane, he waited for a year and a half before finding enough investment to start the project.

Not to mention that Chen Jingxing just revealed that he would jointly produce a Mekong film project with Guoying. They are all industry insiders, and they vaguely knew that this project might be a huge project costing 100 million yuan.

Moreover, DreamWorks itself has undergone a round of expansion and has to maintain operations.

The party has reached the second half. Chen Jingxing and Ning Hao and several directors gathered aside to relive the "study travel friendship", and no one else came to disturb them, so everyone had fewer concerns when they spoke.

Chen Sicheng teased the "civil war" of "study class in the United States".

Even if he realized it, he didn't care. DreamWorks is currently in debt, and at worst it can all return to the starting point.

Chen Jingxing's face was not afraid, although "The Witch of the White Hair" is a popular work this year, and it is a popular movie of the same level as Ning Hao's "The Road to Flowers".

Originally, some media criticized Chen Jingxing for being blindly expanded and blindly launched projects after DreamWorks financing. Now it seems that this evaluation is not without origin.

First of all, the genre and positioning of these three movies are different, and they are not in the same heavyweight class. The release time is even between one to two weeks, so there is no direct competitor.

The movie is scheduled to be released, and it is indeed a sway that affects the whole body.

After obtaining financing, DreamWorks not only invested 80 million yuan to invest in a special effects company, but also opened two movie projects in a row.

This means that DreamWorks will spend tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars to invest in this project.

Of course, there was no grudge between Ning Hao, Lu, Yang and Xiao Yang for this joke.

Not only is the investment huge, it also brings together a luxurious lineup of Zhang Weiping, a gold medal producer and two first-tier stars.

Ning Hao's "The Road to Flowers" is also scheduled to be released in the summer.

After listening to Chen Sicheng's overview of the movie story of "Detective Chinatown", Chen Jingxing asked with interest: "How much does your estimated production cost need?"

Even though DreamWorks can earn hundreds of millions of dollars through the movie "Fatal Identity", it almost exhausts all its working capital in this way.

After revealing the inside story, Chen Sicheng talked about the movie project he was preparing, saying it was a movie that combines comedy and suspense elements.

This kind of crazy investment and project investment without any consequences can be described as a desperate bet.

Chen Jingxing didn't realize that DreamWorks' investment was already spending money in the eyes of others.

Although Chen Jingxing guessed what kind of movie it was at the moment of hearing it, he was secretly surprised that from "Operation Mekong" to "Detective Chinatown", he didn't have to go out to find it by himself, but he actually came to him one by one.

It is very likely that I will leave the summer vacation and enter the National Day holiday.

Everyone focused their attention on Chen Jingxing. After all, they all knew that "Signal" might be scheduled for National Day, so that "The White-Haired Witch" will become his direct competitor.

However, Chen Sicheng revealed that the martial arts blockbuster "The White-Haired Witch" produced by Zhang Weiping may be adjusted.

These two items alone almost cost all the funds raised.

The topics discussed by everyone soon reached their respective projects.

According to the information disclosed, the combined production cost and final promotion and distribution costs even exceeded 150 million.

Because his "Signal" was set for the National Day holiday, Qin Zhonghe made it possible to put "The Heart of Flowers" in the summer holiday, and then "The White-Haired Witch" was squeezed out of the summer holiday and became his competitor.

"I had this inspiration before filming "Northern Ireland", but the estimated investment is relatively large and I can't make it. So the box office of "Northern Ireland" is pretty good, but it's still difficult to find an investment. Only United Cinemas has a little bit

Intention, thanks to Xiao Chen. If "The Fatal Identity" had not achieved the box office success, the film company would not even watch the suspense crime themes when it heard that the United Cinemas had always wanted me to cut the production costs.

But I have to go abroad to shoot this project, and there are many people who appear, and the production cost cannot be reduced at all. I no longer expect a film company. I am planning to find Internet companies in the next step to see if I can invest.

”

Chen Jingxing was a little silenced. After playing for a long time, it seemed that he was still flapping his butterfly wings.

This young man seems to have a magical power in his body, which can do things that others cannot do, and his courage is different from that of ordinary people.

"Success, how much is the gap? I've invested!" Chen Jingxing made the decision with a domineering plan.

Chen Sicheng showed a surprised look: "You mean DreamWorks is willing to invest?"

The richest among the directors is actually Chen Jingxing. Although Ning Hao also has his own company, he has not raised funds yet. Chen Si did not expect Chen Jingxing to pay for it. After all, DreamWorks invested in a special effects company, plus "Signal"

Source Code and Mekong Film Project, after a rough calculation, there is basically no liquidity left.

Secondly, investing in a movie project is not that simple. He already has the box office results of "Northern Ireland". He has been frayed and has not even asked for enough investment. How could someone just describe the project?

Money is given?
