Chapter 271 The largest film investment in history

"There are also several satellite TVs who are also interested and are currently following up. It is expected that the final cooperation list will be confirmed by the end of the month."

Cai Rujun looked through the information in his hand, and according to his own communication, he felt that at least three TV stations could be signed, and the TV series should have no problem returning to the original.

However, the result that has not yet been determined is purely speculation and it is not convenient to say it at this time.

After the report was over, Chen Fan pondered for a moment. With Cai Rujun joining, he had a new understanding of the TV drama industry.

Perhaps, investing in TV series is not as profitable as he thought before.

"The TV series will have to be confirmed at the end of the month. Manager Cai is more worried."

"For the movie, Zixuan is in charge of the release of "Crazy Stone" and the review of "You at the Same Table". The filming of "Terminator 2" has reached the final stage, and I don't think I can get distracted this month!"

"Today, we are mainly talking about issues related to new film and television dramas."

"Before, I handed over three films to the accounting department, and they have already calculated the approximate cost."

"The investment cost of the comedy "Nightclub" is about 200 million. I discussed it with Director He. Almost all the main actors in it can use artists signed by Shengtang himself. This movie can start shooting at any time. Just update the information with the film and television network."

"Director He meant that it took two days to prepare, and then he planned to start filming after the release of "Crazy Stone", and I agreed."

"The second movie is "Play Back To School". The investment amount is about 1000 million. I have already shown the script of this movie to several screenwriting teachers. The biggest difficulty is choosing the lead actor."

Song De on the side picked up the conversation,

"The few of us studied the script given by Mr. Chen. At first, we always felt that the action description and language in this script were a bit awkward. After communicating with Mr. Chen, we suddenly realized."

"This movie is likely to be a brand-new attempt on Longguo comedy movies. Mr. Chen said that this form of comedy performance is called Wulitou. It is different from traditional comedy movies. The importance of the script is one aspect. The interpretation of supporting roles is more important.”

Chen Fan nodded,

"I plan to set up a project for this movie, but it definitely won't be able to be made a few years ago. I think that there are many actors in Longguo, and maybe there are actors who can perform this style."

"I will participate in the casting of the leading role throughout the whole process. If there is no actor I like, I would rather put this movie on hold forever!"

As soon as the voice fell, everyone in the conference room looked at each other. Some of them had read the script, and some hadn't. But from Chen Fan's tone, they felt that Chen Fan attached great importance to the script.

However, no one raised any objections. The boss had the final say, and it was rare for the boss to participate in an actor audition. Everyone wanted to see what kind of actor Chen Fan would like.

"Actually, I already have a director in mind. I will contact him first, or he will bring us some suggestions."

After a pause, Chen Fan slowly spoke about the situation of the last script,

"Star Wars, the name, you should be familiar with. The character in "Wonder Boy" has been discussed before."

"The third script is this movie called "Star Wars: The Threat of Ghost Action". The investment cost of this movie is about 12 billion!"

"Similar to "Terminator", I plan to make this movie into a series of movies, and this one is the first in the series!"

12 billion?

A few people in the conference room grinned, almost 2 million eagles, isn't it more than the investment cost of "Terminator 2"?
This amount of investment seems to be unique in the history of world film, right?
However, Sheng Tang doesn't seem to have that much money.

Someone raised an objection,
"Mr. Chen, why don't we take a break? This investment is not a small amount, and we still have two sci-fi blockbusters in production, and the special effects department is too busy."

"That's right, Mr. Chen. Although the movie market in Longguo is getting better and better, we still have no way of predicting the outcome of such blockbuster movies."

"I think it's better to wait until "Terminator 2" is released and see the market before making a decision, right?"

"..."

Chen Fan smiled,
"I know your concerns. I am afraid that the cost will not be recovered, and that the market in Longguo will not be able to digest this movie. In fact, I have already made plans for this movie."

"I'm going to make this movie on the Terminator model!"

"Cooperate with Times Pictures?"

Zhu Juchuan, who has been promoted to the vice president of the film and television department, was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted,

"This is also a way."

Chen Fan nodded,

"The special effects of this movie, to some extent, are much more demanding than the special effects of "Terminator", so there is no way to lower the investment amount."

"With an investment cost of 25 billion, the box office must reach at least [-] billion to recover the investment. It is almost impossible to recover the investment based on the current Dragon Kingdom market alone, so this movie still needs to be oriented to the world."

"So we are looking for a Western film and television company to cooperate and promote globally is the best way."

Chen Fan tapped the desktop, and the memory came back to his mind. The investment in this movie was only 91 million US dollars when Blue Star was in [-], but that was in Blue Star.

And in my mind, there are too many special effects scenes in this movie.

Chen Fan planned to spend a lot of energy to make the special effects of this movie well.

It is possible that two billion eagle dollars may not be enough.

"Not only that, when it comes to the selection of actors, I also plan to recruit some western actors!"

Western actors, Chinese and Western cooperation?
Chen Fan wants to make the next big move?

"What I'm worried about now is whether Times Pictures dares to continue to cooperate with us..."

Zhu Juchuan was a little puzzled when he heard the words,

"Isn't our friendship with Guo Liangsheng very good, they will reject our cooperation?"

Lin Zixuan on the side nodded,
"Guo Liangsheng is only the person in charge of Times Pictures in the Asia-Pacific region. He must obtain the approval of the headquarters for the business of two billion eagles."

""Star Wars" is not like the "Terminator" series that has experienced the test of the market, not to mention that "Terminator 2" has not yet been released, and Time Pictures has not yet enjoyed the results, so there is a high probability that they will give up cooperation on this film .”

"Today's Times Pictures still has a big problem. Last year, their performance was not good, and their annual revenue even suffered some losses. If it weren't for the overseas copyright of "Terminator" that made them some money, they would most likely will get into trouble."

"Now let them take out another one hundred million eagle yuan, I suspect that they may not be able to tame..."

There was a slight silence in the meeting room, and everyone was turning their heads.

Although intellectually, they feel that making this movie should take a while.

But emotionally, they hope that Sheng Tang can make this movie.

The largest film investment in history, just listening to it is exciting.
