Chapter 496: Increase investment

The cost of "Wandering Earth" is still increasing.
According to the current shooting progress, if this film is to be completed, it may really have to wait until after October. With such a long shooting cycle, all aspects of the cost are constantly rising.
Initially, the total investment of this project was about 300 million yuan. Beidou Entertainment invested a total of 150 million yuan. Chen Hui brought 50 million yuan. The remaining 100 million yuan was funded by Chen Feng’s Ping An For the investment, Tailang Entertainment and Shushan Films invested together. In addition, there are some scattered shares in the market, which are only 10 to 20 million in total.
However, based on current trends, the money...maybe not enough!
Shooting a sci-fi blockbuster is indeed a money-burning thing.
But this is actually normal. After all, sci-fi movies require huge investment whether it is shooting or post-production special effects.
In Chen Feng’s dream world, the total investment in the film "The Wandering Earth" is at least about 300 to 400 million yuan, and there are many other films that cost more than "The Wandering Earth", especially some foreign works. , Some investment may be as high as billions, so as to ensure the quality of the film.
Of course, such a high investment requires a high box office to achieve profitability, otherwise it will suffer a miserable loss.
Sometimes, even the failure of a film can directly lead to the closure of a large company. This phenomenon is not uncommon.
Therefore, the project "Wandering Earth" is really challenging.
Moreover, the current "Wandering Earth" is actually very different from the "Wandering Earth" in Chen Feng's dream world. Especially in the plot, Tian Ming and him have adjusted a lot of content together, and added more. Many big science fiction scenes, so the cost of shooting still needs to increase.
Fortunately, the box office share of "Infernal Affairs" has been paid, and Chen Feng now has hundreds of millions of additional funds in his hands.
After investing 100 million in the "Wandering Earth" again, Chen Feng has now invested 130 million in total, which is almost the same as Beidou Entertainment, and the total investment of "Wandering Earth" has reached 420 million. !
This number is huge and scary. It is really rare in the Chinese film market in this world.
And when this news was reported, many people in the movie circle also looked at it.
Many people think that the joint investment of Beidou Entertainment and Chen Feng is too risky.
When the film project was first approved, many people in the industry were not optimistic about the film because of the use of new young actors and new directors. Although Chen Hui took the initiative to join, many people shut their mouths. But in the hearts of these people, they are still not optimistic about "The Wandering Earth".
After all, the Chinese film market does not have the soil for making science fiction films. It is really a bit...irrational to blindly start such a large investment project.
Even if Chen Feng has successfully invested in two consecutive films, anyone can fail, and Chen Feng is no exception.
He is not a god, and he cannot predict the future!
Even many people are looking forward to seeing Chen Feng's jokes.
Because Chen Feng is too popular in the past year or two, he can succeed in everything he does and earn a lot of profits. This kind of operation has made countless people crazy jealous.
Everyone is waiting for the day when Chen Feng finally falls.
Especially some insiders, although on the surface they are polite to Chen Feng, but in fact, they also wish he was unlucky soon.
For example... the Golden Shadow Award and the Golden Melody Award in March this year.
Because Chen Feng has been busy in the crew, he did not attend these two grand awards ceremonies.
Even if he won awards in music and movies, Chen Feng did not show up. The music awards were received by Tailang Entertainment, while the film awards were received by Ni Hao.
In fact, Ni Hao should have taken the lead. He is an investor and has nothing to do with receiving the prize.
But insiders don't think so.
At least when "Crazy Stone" won the best movie of the year, Chen Feng should be on stage with Ni Hao. After all, people in the industry know that Chen Feng and Ni Hao are both important to the birth of this film. Nothing.
So... In the end, Chen Feng did not show up, which made the judges very unhappy.
Although there is no explicit statement, many people think that Chen Feng is too aloof, too indifferent, too ignorant of the world, and too shameless for everyone.
Even if Chen Feng has entrusted Ni Hao to help himself with the acceptance speech, even if Chen Feng is really because there is an urgent matter in the crew of "The Wandering Earth"...
Anyway, many people already have opinions on Chen Feng.
Of course, it is impossible for Chen Feng to know what other people think, even if he knows what other people think.
After all...the work of the crew is the business, and if you care too much about the opinions of others, you will be very tired.
Therefore, he once again devoted himself to the crew work of "The Wandering Earth".
He doesn't need to spend too much effort to deal with the relationship with some irrelevant people. What he needs most is to make the movie first.
...
These actions by Chen Feng undoubtedly made many people feel very angry.
After all, everyone is in the same circle. Sometimes, if you don't know what you have done, you offend the other party, and you may even be hated.
If it's someone with a more generous mind, they might laugh at some trivial things and don't care about it.
But this world is more people with small belly and chicken intestines.
Therefore, when Chen Feng increased his investment in "Wandering Earth", many people cast disdainful glances.
...
"Hehe, 100 million yuan is invested in such a film, I think Chen Feng also has money to spend..."
"Yeah, people really have money and nowhere to spend, what can you do? Haha, even the Golden Shadow Award people have not paid attention to it. What about one billion?"
"Do you really think he can succeed this time?"
"I don't think so. Actually, I think he might be stumped this time..."
"I heard they hired a foreign team? Or did they come from the other side of the house?"
"Fart Hao Laiwu~EbookFREE.me~ That is just a small broken company that was driven out by Hao Laiwu. That's it, spending a lot of money to raise other people's teams, it's really a fool!"
"It's okay... this is also good. People can make money, and naturally they have to spend money. Haha, let's just sit on the sidelines and see how long he runs rampant!"
...
Some people have been very rude to Chen Feng in private. Although these people are not too dare to express any opinions publicly, secretly, all kinds of ridicules take turns in battle, even if they do these things that are completely useless to Chen Feng. What an impact, but at least they all chatted happily.
Well, I can only let them go.
...
s: Kobe passed away unexpectedly. It's been a whole day of bewilderment, which is a bit unacceptable.
