Chapter 370: Sky-high movie budget

Ye Su believes that why it is difficult for oriental movies to have excellent movies is because many directors with dreams do not get enough opportunities.
And those who can keep making movies are just a bunch of mediocre people with only money in their eyes.
It is impossible for such people to make good movies. They only make movies to make money, not to realize their dreams.
These mediocre people accounted for a lot of shooting opportunities, so Oriental films did not show any improvement.
This time, Ye Su wants to give those filmmakers who have dreams a chance to pursue their dreams through filming, and also to give the entire Oriental film industry a chance to rise.
Soon a message appeared in major domestic media, and the whole news caught everyone's attention at once.
Ye Su, the boss of Genesis, a genius scientist at the enchanting level, is planning to get involved in the film industry and wants to invest in a movie.
This incident is surprising to many people, because Ye Su is not the kind of person who is willing to invest money in making movies in their opinion.
In everyone's minds, if Ye Su invests in a new technology or a high-tech project, it will be something very high-end anyway.
If one day it is said in the news that Ye Su is going to invest in an immigration plan to Mars, then no one will be surprised, because Ye Su gives everyone the impression that is like this.
But investing in movies is not something Ye Su can do.
In everyone's opinion, Ye Su disdains to invest in movies like this.
Generally only those upstarts who want to play with female stars will do it, not Ye Su, a genius who is so cool as to freeze.
What is even more surprising is that Ye Su's handwriting is very large this time, and he is directly preparing to shoot a holographic film.
The holographic film alone can't make everyone so surprised, because this technology was taken out by him, and it is normal to use it by himself.
The really surprising thing is that the investment in this movie is initially set at 1 billion yuan.
Ye Su also said that if there is not enough funding for filming, he can continue to increase investment.
Such a huge investment shocked everyone's attention, it was a full 1 billion yuan!
So much money is just shooting a movie, which is too extravagant.
Many people think that shooting a movie can cost as much as 1 billion yuan.
Regardless of the movie budget of Hollywood blockbusters, the amount is hundreds of millions of dollars at every turn. This figure is also hundreds of millions in RMB.
But that is the cost of filming in Hollywood, and the cost of filming there is much higher than in the East.
The costs of props, costumes, venues, equipment, and staff are all much higher than those of the East.
Not only are these fractional expenses more expensive than Dongfang, but the pay for big-head actors invested in movies is many times higher than Dongfang.
Nowadays, Hollywood's big-name actors can earn 20 million gold in a movie.
And the biggest actor in the East did not dare to ask for such a high salary.
This is just the price of a big-name actor, and the pay for supporting actors other than the leading role is also an astronomical figure.
The cost of a one-step movie alone is the cost of remuneration. Filming in Hollywood is many times higher than in the East.
Calculated in this way, Ye Su’s film budget is very staggering. If the investment of 1 billion yuan is exchanged in Hollywood, it is at least equivalent to an investment of more than 500 million yuan.
There has never been a film investment of 500 million yuan in Hollywood. Ye Su's handwriting this time can be said to be a record.
This account was calculated by many media for Ye Su, but these people all revealed a large amount of expense, that is, the expense of movie special effects.
Generally, one-step Hollywood special effects blockbusters cost tens of millions of dollars to produce special effects, which often accounts for a large part of movie investment.
But Ye Su's special effects cost can be considered as nothing. Ye Su is going to hand the special effects to Rem to do, and Ye Su only needs to pay the electricity bill when Rem calculates.
Ye Su only needs to pay some low electricity bills to surpass Hollywood's level in special effects.
In this way, the amount of Ye Su's investment will far exceed public expectations.
After all, this special effects cost has been saved, but all must be invested in filming.
Calculated in this way, the funds that the director of this film can spend may reach an unimaginable figure.
This kind of investment made everyone talk about it, and they started to have great expectations for this holographic film.
After all, so much money has been invested in it. As long as the director is suitable, the movie will not disappoint everyone.
What's more, the theme of the movie that Ye Sukai announced at the same time, the theme of "Swordsman in Shu Mountain" is even more exciting.
Many people have read this fairy-xia novel and are quite familiar with the content.
This kind of blockbuster in a completely Oriental style is something that no one has ever seen.
In the past, the blockbuster movies that everyone saw on the movie screen were all Hollywood blockbusters. No matter how good these movies are, they are not their own.
Now I finally have the opportunity to see blockbusters full of oriental culture on the big screen. This is something that many movie fans have been waiting for for a long time.
Soon such news gathered a large number of people's attention, and those directors even noticed that the director candidate has not yet been determined.
This gives those aspiring directors a chance to prove themselves.
Ye Su is going to openly choose the director this time, and choose a suitable candidate.
As long as Ye Su can be satisfied, it is possible to shoot this masterpiece even if he has no experience in filming at all.
He doesn't look at the previous qualifications of these directors at all. No matter how high the box office the movies these people made before, there is no meaning to Ye Su.
What Ye Su fancy is the director's talent and amazing imagination. These are all essential elements for a good director.
As for those old directors who have made many films, Ye Su has no choice at all.
