Crazy, 500 yuan also dare to make a science fiction blockbuster

Because "Groundhog Day" is the pioneer of the theme of time loop!

In fact, Ye Heng didn't want to classify "Groundhog Day" as "science fiction".

Because he has no sci-fi elements, he didn't explain why it started, and he didn't explain why it ended.

But in fact, after watching the movie, everyone knows why it ended.

He is more like a prophecy, reflecting your reality with the things in the movie.

It's more like "fantasy" than science fiction.

But Ye Heng still wanted to shoot him, because he was really good enough, and it was one of the movies that had the greatest influence on Ye Heng.

As for sci-fi films with special effects, let's wait for Ye Heng to form a good enough special effects team first.

Although it can be outsourced directly and let others do it.

But for epoch-making movies such as "The Matrix" and "Avatar", Ye Heng worried that they would still not be able to produce results.

It's better to set up a special effects company in person, and then take them away bit by bit.

"It seems that we have to find a time to acquire several special effects companies."

When Ye Heng finished writing the script of "Groundhog Day", Zhang Wenke happened to walk in.

"Xiaoye, let's go, it's time to go to the premiere."

But when he saw the large paragraph of text on Ye Heng's computer screen, he couldn't help but walked over.

"new movie?"

"Ah."

Zhang Wenke glanced at the script curiously, but because the computer screen was limited and Ye Heng had just finished writing, he just glanced at the final plot in a hurry.

"Before the "Old Shaolin Temple" accounts are divided, we have no money to invest in you."

When he said this, Zhang Wenke was more helpless.

The investment in "Old Shaolin Temple" is really too big, let's not talk about the shooting cost, it is three or four times higher than expected.

In the future, special effects will be used. In order to ensure the viewing experience of the movie, the best special effects teams at home and abroad must be hired.

Moreover, because of Ye Heng's reputation, they took the initiative to lower the salary, otherwise they might not even be able to finish the special effects.

After that is the money for the announcement.

Fortunately, with Ye Heng's reputation bonus, Ye Heng's two open classes not long before the addition attracted the attention of the whole network, and it didn't need to spend too much money on it.

Otherwise, the film department would have gone bankrupt by now!

But Ye Heng smiled lightly.

"Don't worry, I will shoot this movie myself, and I won't ask for investment."

Hearing this, Zhang Wenke was stunned for a moment, but soon came back to his senses.

Ye Heng seemed to be richer than the film department.

Zhang Wenke was not talking, and he always felt that he and Ye Heng were not from the same world.

After saving the document, Ye Heng and Zhang Wenke went to the premiere.

The leading actors of the movie, Zhang Wenke and Ye Heng were all present.

The moment he first appeared on the stage, the fans present immediately screamed.

It can be said that Ye Heng's popularity in the film industry is no worse than those geigai.

As soon as they sat down, after some simple opening remarks, the host began to ask Ye Heng questions.

"Director Ye Heng, I heard that it took nearly half a year just to prepare for this movie before the filming started. Is this true?"

Ye Heng nodded with a smile and picked up the microphone.

"Because the actors in our film have very high requirements, we can't use doubles in the martial arts part, and the actors have to do it themselves."

"It takes half a year of training to barely let them learn some basics."

Hearing this, the fans present all showed shock.

Half a year of training period, this is not a "small amount".

You know, with the current entertainment industry system, those stars basically don't do any training.

Occasionally, in order to stir up news, I will go to training for a few days, at most it will not exceed a week.

But Ye Heng let them train for half a year, which shows the huge difference.

"We also heard that the protagonist in your movie is a martial arts champion?"

"And also invited a lot of martial arts masters to come and give guidance?"

Ye Heng nodded, "Our movie has made some simple changes in the action."

"In order to improve the audience's perception as much as possible, we need to redesign some actions."

"In this way, when the audience watches the movie, they won't feel that the people in the movie are fighting in a mess."

Hearing Ye Heng's explanation, the host nodded, "Can you play a segment for our live audience?"

Ye Heng smiled slightly. These conversations were arranged in advance, and the video was naturally prepared long ago.

Soon, the video was put on the big screen.

The two characters on the screen were facing each other, their moves were gorgeous, and the fans below were stunned.

After a video was played, the audience below burst into thunderous applause.

"It seems that Director Ye has really put in a lot of effort in the action. This is the best martial arts clip I have seen since I was born!"

"Then, will the actions in the whole movie be maintained at the same level as in the video?"

The fans below all looked at Ye Heng, and seemed to be very concerned about this issue.

And Ye Heng quickly gave a positive reply.

"I wouldn't say it's on the same level."

"In order not to spoil everyone's viewing experience, the clips we released here are not even up to the average level."

"The fighting scenes in the movie will not always be at this level, but much higher than this level."

Hearing this, everyone was stunned.

The fighting scene just now was already good enough, I didn't expect it wasn't even up to the average level!

Chapter 226 Help Buy A Ticket

On the night after the premiere, "Old Shaolin Temple" was officially released.

Throughout the night, almost all cinemas were showing "The Old Shaolin Temple", and the film schedule reached an astonishing 60%!

Three days after the pre-sale box office lined up, the box office directly exceeded the 10 billion mark!

This is a grand event that has never happened in the entire Dragon Country film industry.

Numerous promotional slogans were posted in the theater.

"Internationally renowned director, Ye Heng has released another domestic masterpiece after 2 years."

"The latest masterpieces of film directors such as "The Strange" and "Jigsaw"!"

"A movie that took more than half a year just for training, the filming time is as long as 6 months!"

……

Movies that were previously planned to be released at the same time slot all chose to skip tickets to avoid this ferocious wild beast.

One by one, the promotional slogans stopped, coupled with skyrocketing box office, extremely high reviews, and other movies were withdrawn one after another.

The originally bloody film battlefield has gradually become a solo show of "Old Shaolin Temple".

In the early morning of the next day, countless praises came to the face. On a certain Doubanjiang, 100 million people rated it, and more than 99 gave 5-star praise.

Except for a few low scores, it was quickly submerged in the praise.

The score has also remained stable at 9.9 points and has not dropped.

Nine of the ten short videos are about "Old Shaolin Temple".

This result is no longer simply good, but so good that it explodes!

Even Zhang Wenke was amazed. This result is based on their income ratio.

First remove 5% as a film special fund and 3.3% tax.

The rest is half of the theater chain, and Ye Heng's 10%.

Calculated from this set, they already have an income of at least 3-4 million!

In other words, the money invested will almost be paid back on the first day, and then just sit and wait for the money to be collected!

Thinking of this, Zhang Wenke

"Xiaoye, have you read the news?"

"No?"

"Did you watch the short video?"

"No?"

"Then what are you doing?"

"It's early in the morning, of course it's sleeping."

Hearing this answer, Zhang Wenke was speechless.

"Your "Old Shaolin Temple" was screened last night, don't you care about box office or something?"

"Why should you care?"

"The momentum of the movie is very strong! It has just been released, and the box office of various pre-sales has already exceeded 10 billion!"

"Oh."

This "oh" made Zhang Wenke unable to speak immediately.

He originally thought that Ye Heng would be somewhat surprised when he heard the box office of 10 billion.

But the result is "oh", which is too perfunctory.

"Aren't you surprised? This is the first day's box office."

"What's so surprising, isn't the quality of the movie worth the box office?"

Zhang Wenke was not talking, because he found that Ye Heng seemed to take this situation for granted.

But thinking about it, it seems quite normal.

After all, when he was in the beautiful country, the box office of any movie started at 10 billion knives, so he may have taken these things lightly.

In such a comparison, he is like a dirt dog.

"Is there anything else?" Ye Heng on the phone asked lazily.

"No more. Who do you follow?"

"Row."

After speaking, Ye Heng hung up the phone directly, and went back to sleep.

When he woke up again, he casually glanced at the push message on his phone.

"The theater has made urgent adjustments, and the film schedule of "The Old Shaolin Temple" has reached 80%!"

"The box office of "The Old Shaolin Temple" broke the 20 billion mark again, and fans complained that there will be no tickets to buy in the next three days!"

After taking a look, Ye Heng turned off the phone.

"I don't know how far the box office can go."

"I remember that the current highest box office of Dragon Kingdom seems to be more than 50 billion. It should not be a problem to break the record, but I don't know how far it will reach in the end."

Ye Heng has a number in mind, 100 billion.
