Chapter 446: Mockery in the circle

Latest website: Although Tian Ming's script uses the big frame setting of "The Wandering Earth", the specific storyline and characterization have been greatly changed.
After all, the real world is not the same as Chen Feng's dream world, and many of the details involved ultimately lead to many changes in the script, which Chen Feng can understand.
Moreover, Tian Ming's script has a larger scale in some aspects. The discussion about human nature and the dark side is also very clear. The contradictions in the film have become more intense, and the plot is full of tension.
After Chen Feng read the new script in detail, he actually had a hearty feeling. Relatively speaking, the script written by Tian Ming is better than the movie in the dream world!
If it can be shot according to this book, Chen Feng feels that this version of "The Wandering Earth" should be even more exciting!
Of course, Chen Feng also put forward some better suggestions according to his own memory. Tian Ming also attaches great importance to Chen Feng's ideas. After all, even the concept of "Wandering Earth" was proposed by Chen Feng. Everyone has his opinion. Nature is very respectful.
However, in addition to the script, the current technical conditions that can be used to make a science fiction movie are also a very important limiting factor. Sometimes the script is written as wonderful and enjoyable, but it is useless if it can't be filmed. Therefore, in the script During the process, Fang Cheng, Mike and James also actively participated in the discussion.
While studying the script, everyone evaluated the conditions required for filming and the investment cost required to make the film.
...
Science fiction movies are really expensive. After a period of research, Beidou Entertainment finally gave a preliminary evaluation result.
If you want to shoot all the scenes and stories in the script perfectly, a total investment of about 300 million yuan is needed!
This is an initial estimate, not very accurate, as the shooting situation progresses, there may even be more in the future.
Undoubtedly, this is one of the highest-invested films in the history of Chinese films. If there are additional films in the later period, it may be ranked first!
With such a high investment cost, the box office of a movie in the future will have to exceed one billion at least to not lose money.
Although there are more and more movies that have broken one billion, no one can guarantee that the next film will definitely break one billion.
And it's still a science fiction movie, a Chinese science fiction movie!
Although Beidou Entertainment’s last "Deep Space Trek" has broken the box office of one billion, the subsequent release of "Escape from Mother Star" directly dropped the reputation of "Deep Space Trek" to the worst. "Is also produced by Beidou Entertainment and is the screenwriter of Tian Ming. No one should have any confidence in this film.
Therefore, at this moment, "The Wandering Earth" is facing a very embarrassing situation.
Most people or companies outside are not optimistic about this new Chinese science fiction blockbuster!
Originally, as expected, Beidou Entertainment would invest about 100 million yuan in "Wandering Earth", and then Chen Feng’s Ping An investment, Tailang Entertainment, and Shushan Pictures would jointly invest another 100 million, and the remaining 100 million funds , Will be put on the film market to absorb other scattered investment.
But I never expected that when the "Wandering Earth" project was made public, not many people were interested in it.
No one wants to invest in this movie!
Even if someone wants to vote, most of them just want to vote for one or two million to try their luck. These people just don't care if they lose, and they have the mentality that they are lucky.
Under this circumstance, it is difficult to digest the 100 million shares put on the market.
This is depressing.
No way, now everyone really has no hope for Chinese science fiction movies.
Even Beidou Entertainment's behavior was regarded as a laughing stock by several peer companies in the circle.
Among them is Rongxing Media.
Rongxing Media also achieved good box office results during the October 1st "Love and Smarter Stars", which allowed them to experience the crazy ability to attract money in the movie market.
And then, after seeing the hot state of "Escape from Mother Star", they even coveted those foreign science fiction blockbusters, and soon began to use their resources and connections to prepare for the agency distribution of some imported films.
Although generally speaking, the resources in this area are controlled by some exclusive upper-level companies, Rongxing Media’s back-end resources are really powerful, and they have actually snatched a few film spots.
This makes Rongxing Media very excited. After all, this kind of thing is almost equivalent to lying down and making money. Generally speaking, the producers of foreign films can only share about 25%, and the rest That is, Rongxing himself and the theater line have talked about sharing. With Rongxing's ability, maybe he can get more.
So, with such a good opportunity, how can they afford to watch what Beidou Entertainment's so-called Chinese science fiction movie?
Especially some time ago, the "Deep Space Trek" filmed by Beidou Entertainment has been criticized by countless people. With such lessons learned, audience fans should have lost their confidence in them.
In the Chinese film circle, science fiction movies, there is really nothing to mess with!
Although some other companies do not have the resources of Rongxing Media, they are all cautious about Beidou Entertainment’s new science fiction project. Moreover, Beidou Entertainment directly released an open share of 100 million yuan this time, which shows that the movie’s Invest at least three to four billion yuan, and if you want to invest in such a project to make money, the final movie box office needs to be very high.
No one has such courage and confidence.
Even the parties who have participated in the "Wandering Earth" project have been ridiculed more or less.
Chen Feng's Ping An Investment, Xu Tailang's Tailang Entertainment~EbookFREE.me~Li Ziqiang's Shushan Films... Many people are secretly waiting to see their jokes although they didn't say it clearly.
"Science fiction films, haha, after watching "Escape from Mother Star" made by others in the house, they still have the confidence to make Chinese science fiction films. This group of people is really courageous."
"I'm afraid that there will be no more left in the future!"
"It's okay, people have money, like Boss Chen, who made two to five hundred million in a movie. What's the loss of such a small amount of money... Besides, if you succeed this time, maybe you can make a few more. Billion..."
"Wow, I'm so sour!"
...
In recent days, similar remarks have been common in the circle. Even the parties such as Wu Hengjiang, Chen Feng, Xu Tailang, and Li Ziqiang have met many times. However, everyone did not say anything to refute, because at this time only It is meaningless to talk about it. Everything needs to be verified by the box office results after the film is shot and released.
