The Director of Music Department

The final box office of "Students from Huaguo" stayed at 16 million.

Although this number is nothing, but for Lin Feng, for a movie like "Students from Huaguo", it is already a very good result.

Don't think that 16 million is less, but it is actually quite a lot.

In fact, the box office curve of "Huaguo Overseas Students" is very interesting.

But Lin Feng was not satisfied, even a little disappointed.

Why?

In fact, at the beginning, Lin Feng was already very satisfied with "Students from Huaguo" getting such a box office.

But after learning the amount of publicity costs that Lin Husheng spent on Lin Feng's movie, he couldn't be satisfied.

The production cost of "Students from Huaguo" is actually not high, because the actors used are not big names, the salary is not high, and the director Lin Feng himself does not get paid.

But because it had to be filmed overseas, the cost of "Students from Huaguo" rose to 6 million.

After all, going to the United States to shoot on-site, among other things, the cost of the crew alone is really not small.

If you only look at the production cost, 16 million is actually a profit. And earn a lot.

But it is obvious that the cost of a movie cannot only be the production cost, and the cost of publicity and distribution is actually a big deal.

Especially "Students from Huaguo", pity the hearts of parents all over the world. In order to help his son build up his confidence, Lin Husheng spent nearly 8 million yuan.

Yes, more than the production cost.

Don't think that Luo Zizai's group of people only have a million dollars, but in fact, if the topic wants to be hot, it needs a lot of money.

Originally, the momentum was not bad, and "Students from Huaguo" even hoped to break the box office of 20 million.

But because the topic was dropped midway, and "Huaguo Overseas Students" is honest, ordinary audiences who have watched the movie will not like it very much.

Therefore, "Students from Huaguo" is like a flash in the pan.

The result is self-evident.

Of course, with Huaxin's strength, if he insisted on promoting this movie, he could completely ignore the people from the study abroad institutions and just spend money on it.

But the problem is that it's really not worth it. "Students from Huaguo" is not "I'm Not the God of Medicine". Even if you spend money on publicity, because the quality of the movie itself is there, it will only be tens of millions if it breaks the sky. box office.

But the money that needs to be spent is more than ten million, and if the other party continues to make a move, then more money needs to be spent.

After all, Huaxin is a profitable private enterprise, and Lin Husheng is not alone. Although he can spend his own money, it may not be a good thing for Lin Feng.

"Is it really that difficult to make realistic movies?" Lin Feng asked with a wry smile.

Lin Husheng shook his head and said: "It can't be said that, if "Huaguo Overseas Students" is "I'm Not the God of Medicine", then Huaxin will do its best, but unfortunately "Huaguo Overseas Students" is not, so, some things, It’s not a question of whether it can be done, but whether it’s worth doing.”

Lin Feng nodded, and then asked curiously: "Did you encounter this kind of situation when "I'm Not the God of Medicine" was released?"

Lin Husheng smiled and nodded, "What do you think?"

""I'm Not the God of Medicine" is much more influential than "The Overseas Students from Huaguo". There are too many people paying attention, so even if someone wants to do something, it is impossible to treat it like "Huaguo Overseas Students"." Lin Husheng added.

"But even so, during the release of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", Huaxin was under tremendous pressure, so many things, you can't do what you want. Any industry has its rules. Why are you hyping foreign students? Before the topic, those people did not take any action? Because at that time, the influence of the movie "Huaguo Overseas Students" was not taken seriously by them. Realistic subjects will always involve a certain group. If it does not involve interests or In other words, if the interests involved are large enough, then you will naturally face enough pressure." Of course, Lin Husheng understands much better than his son Lin Feng.

"What's your plan next?" Lin Husheng asked.

Lin Feng sighed and said: "During the filming of "Students from Huaguo", I found that I still have many shortcomings, so I want to learn more from other directors' crews."

"I am very pleased that you have such an idea. There are several choices. One is the crew of "King Kong" that was actually filmed by director Chen Shaojun. You can go and have a look. However, Director Chen Shaojun is also directing such a large-scale production for the first time, so you may not be able to learn as much as you wish." Lin Husheng thought for a while and said.

"What else?" Lin Feng asked again.

"The "Monkey King" directed by Wang Yifan, you should know this. If you want, I can say hello to him and let you be his assistant director. However, "Monkey King" is still in preparation , it’s not impossible for you to join now, but you may be a little tired.” Lin Husheng said with a smile again.

In fact, Lin Husheng was not too optimistic about Chen Shaojun's new movie.

After all, not just anyone can make a blockbuster movie.

Chen Shaojun's previous films basically didn't involve big special effects shots, but "King Kong" is a monster movie.

So, in fact, what Lin Husheng really hoped was that Lin Feng could follow Wang Yifan to film "The Monkey King". Anyway, Wang Yifan is currently the number one commercial director in China, and even Yang Long is not his opponent.

Although Yang Long's new movie has achieved good results, it failed to set a record for the first time.

Therefore, it can be said that Wang Yifan has secured his position as the number one commercial director even more.

Moreover, "Monkey King" is still in the preparation stage. If Lin Feng joins it at this time, then he can learn more.

"Dad, I actually don't like commercial movies very much. I prefer to learn something like realistic movies." Lin Feng said solemnly.

On the contrary, Lin Husheng couldn't help frowning.

In fact, whether Lin Feng likes to make commercial movies or literary movies, Lin Husheng doesn't really care too much.

What Lin Husheng cared about was that Lin Feng seemed to be preoccupied with making movies and nothing else.

In fact, Lin Husheng's real intention was not to let his son Lin Feng learn much from Wang Yifan, but to hope that Lin Feng could make friends with Wang Yifan.

But obviously Lin Feng couldn't understand his intention.

"Forget it, then you can go to director Li Mingjuan's crew. The "Dear" she is filming is also a realistic movie!" Lin Husheng didn't want to explain, some things you know, you know, and you don't know, you don't know.
