Entertainment Empire

In 2008, Zhou Xingchi decided to make a 3D movie. Even though nearly half of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" had been shot in 2D, I have to say that Zhou Xingchi was indeed a lunatic...

A complete lunatic!

At the same time, he is also a complete genius, because at this time, he realized the future trend of 3D movies and dared to risk his life to try it. I have searched the world's film industry and can't find a few people!

Especially at home!

The current domestic film market can be called a 3D movie desert. Even if you find a professional who knows a lot about movies to discuss 3D movies with him, I'm afraid the other party will slap you in the face!

Have to wait!

Wait for the truck driver to explode!

Wait until "Avatar" is released in 2010!

At that time, the country will see the horror of 3D movies for the first time, and filmmakers around the world will truly awaken their awareness of 3D, and understand the real development direction of commercial movies in the future!

Luo Xun couldn't imagine...

When the truck driver turned the audience around with the 3D special show of "Avatar", Zhou Xingchi turned around and produced a domestic 3D movie. What an exaggerated heart stimulation for domestic filmmakers and the entire box office market!

To know!

The release of "Avatar" in the previous life shocked the world and shattered the three views of domestic filmmakers. Many people began to worship foreign films, and Cameron became the uncrowned king of the world!

At that time...

When domestic filmmakers watch "Avatar", they just feel like they are ignorant bumpkins. I wonder how many filmmakers are filled with bitterness and helplessness and ask themselves, when will China be able to make such a great movie?

Think about it…

If someone stood up at that time, then this person must be the domestic light of the film industry and the savior of the Chinese film market!

Now.

Zhou Xingchi came up with this consciousness. If he had not met Luo Xun, perhaps this consciousness would be like a flame, which was quickly extinguished by the ruthless rejection of investors, shattered by the incomprehensible eyes of the crew, and drowned by the anger of the actors. The contract is being terminated...

But it was Luo Xun!

It just so happens that Luo Xun is more confident in 3D movies than Mr. Cameron at the moment. I have to say that this is also a fate!

"I support you!"

After being greatly shocked, he smiled and said these words to Zhou Xingchi, which gradually strengthened the heart of the man standing on the scales swinging back and forth in front of him.

"real?"

Zhou Xingchi's voice was a little trembling. He was already standing on the altar, but this decision was so unbelievable that he didn't even think he could really accomplish it.

But he didn't expect...

Luo Xun did not persuade him to give up his idea, but openly expressed his support. This support was so important that Zhou Xingchi couldn't even tell whether Luo Xun was out of friendship or because he was optimistic about the future market of 3D movies...

"real!"

Luo Xun had never seen such an unconfident Zhou Xingchi, but the idea put forward by the other party today shocked Luo Xun. He sorted out his thoughts: "There will be mountains of swords and seas of fire on the investors' side. If you are willing to go there, , I can definitely solve it there, but if we change to 3D shooting, the shortfall caused by reshooting the previous content needs to be filled, and the cost will inevitably increase significantly. You need money!”

"Yes."

Zhou Xingchi said: "I need money...and a lot of money...I may even face the withdrawal of investors...my movie will face the disapproval of everyone...just like the situation when filming "Shaolin Soccer" … If I fail, I will become the laughing stock of the film industry, and everyone will laugh at me as a lunatic, and people will say that the genius has gone completely crazy.”

"It looks like I'm going to bleed profusely."

Luo Xun said, he happened to have the money to accompany the other party to have a big fight, but this also meant that Luo Xun was going to conduct an asset stud in the short term. Maybe he should consider selling the copyright of "Singer" to Hunan TV in the form of a buyout in advance. , although Luo Xun will lose a little money in this way, but thinking that "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" can become the Chinese version of "Avatar", Luo Xun feels that it is very worthwhile, because this is an opportunity for celebrity film history!

He is the leading actor in the movie!

Zhou Xingchi was stunned. He originally wanted to think about the money matter and slowly think of a solution. After all, no matter how crazy his idea was, the name Zhou Xingchi itself was worth something, but he didn't expect Luo Xun to play such a big role.

"You want to vote?"

Zhou Xingchi smiled bitterly: "In this case, if the movie fails, should we turn against each other? I will be the culprit who causes you to lose countless assets. The news conference reported that another friend broke up with classmate Zhou Xingchi... "

"Won't."

"No, it can't be like this. Since there is a risk, let's take it together. If you want to take a gamble, of course I have to accompany you. We both contribute the money together. We will each contribute half of the loss and the additional investment."

Zhou Xingchi is also crazy at heart!

You must know that when he made "Shaolin Football", he also used the stud routine. If that movie hits the streets, there may not even be a movie called "Kung Fu" in the future. There is a high probability that Zhou Xingchi will be affected by the failure of that movie. And complete silence!

"Then you have to bear more..."

Luo Xun can imagine how much resistance Zhou Xingchi will encounter when he decides to remake "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". If this matter is not handled well, Zhou Xingchi will offend several major investors at the same time, and then all sides will attack this person who has been vaguely demonized. Filmmaker.

"I'm the director!"

Zhou Xingchi smiled and said that he was no longer as nervous as before. He was such a person. When he made a decision in his heart, all he had to do was go all out and throw away any excess emotions at any time.

"Okay, director."

Luo Xun stretched out his hand and shook Zhou Xingchi's hand. Under the sunlight, their eyes were particularly shining.

Turn around.

Luo Xun raised his eyebrows and said, "Director, are you ready to face mountains of swords and seas of fire? If you take this step, there will be no turning back."

I don't understand what swords and fire are.

Zhou Xingchi also turned around and walked side by side with Luo Xun. This gradually attracted the attention of all the crew, actors and staff sent by the investors. I only knew that the winner takes all.

"Everyone."

He held the loudspeaker on the director's chair and said solemnly: "I have an important decision to announce. The parts that have been filmed in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" need to be replaced with filming equipment and filmed again using the latest technology. That is to say , all the parts of the movie we had already shot were reshot!”

Wow!

The whole place was silent!

The only one with a normal expression was probably Luo Xun, who stood silently next to Zhou Xingchi.
