You made me a superstar

Chapter 415 Spider-Man...

China blockbuster.

A term that is not too old.

"Investment breaks [-] million!" "Hollywood-level special effects!" The hearts of Huaxia movie fans are so excited...

In their eyes, this is hope, enthusiasm, the first step for Huaxia films to go global and compete with Hollywood blockbusters, and China's progress.

Once the pre-sale tickets were sold out overnight, word of mouth spread, and the attendance rate of the premiere Changhong was sold out, breaking the historical record...

But gradually...

After a few Chinese blockbusters were actually released, the fans of Chinese movies suddenly became collectively silent.

Although the special effects are not fifty cents, they are so hot that you want to cry.

The film stars suddenly seemed unable to act, they kept saying all kinds of embarrassing lines, and doing some illogical plots.

The plot is not only sloppy, it seems to be a plot made up to make a rich second-generation little fresh meat look handsome, and the little fresh meat collectively has no expression on their faces, crying so much that it makes people want to laugh...

……

All kinds of slots that subvert the perception of movie fans make people wonder why a work with an investment of hundreds of millions can be shot so badly that people don't know how to scold it if they want to.

Moreover, it is not like this for a movie, almost every year, every movie that hits the gimmick of "domestic blockbuster" is like this.

The "domestic blockbuster", which was originally quite passionate, did not know when it became a derogatory term ridiculed by netizens...

Huaxia itself is like this.

The filmmakers in Hollywood back then were even more exaggerated, directly treating China's domestic blockbusters as a joke after dinner, especially the Hollywood special effects circle...

They almost regarded the Huaxia group of producers as synonymous with stupid people with a lot of money and local rich people.

"Mr. Mark."

"These Chinese people have been behind for too long. They are humble in their bones and poor in appearance, but they are as smart as ordinary citizens. However, the more humble they are, the more vain they are, and the more they hope to get our praise and recognition... ..."

"Like those interns from Huaxia, as long as we give a little favor, they will treat us as gods..."

"They'll be calling us soon..."

"After all, they need our Hollywood special effects, without our Hollywood special effects, they can't do anything..."

Vitas Huaxia Branch.

The assistant looked at Mark with a smile on his face.

Mark nodded, looked into the distance, and nodded with a smile on his face.

..............................

night.

Deep.

Li Qiang, the person in charge of the post-production team, was still on the phone.

Hollywood special effects never seem to have the intention of lowering prices for Chinese movies.

If you have a good attitude, it is not easy to explain the special effects to you. Every penny will be spent wisely. If you have a bad attitude, simply hang up the phone.

Although the special effects of "Spider-Man" are expensive, they will definitely not reach the exaggerated level of the astonishing "[-] million US dollars".

$[-] million...

Nearly [-] million RMB!
In Hollywood blockbusters, this kind of special effects cost may not be a big deal, but in Zhou Yang's Huaxing, such investment is very likely to determine the follow-up fate of a company.

The atmosphere in the office suddenly became silent.

"You can find other people to inject capital together and share the risk..."

"We have done several projects before, and each project has been a great success. I believe that there will be capital willing to invest in "Spider-Man."

"Like Wang Sikai, the young son of Wanda, like our cooperative enterprises, like your fans and some friends in the industry..."

"..."

After finishing her work, Wang Jing also came to Zhou Yang's office.

After looking at the silent Li Qiang and Zhou Yang, she began to suggest.

After listening to Wang Jing's words, Zhou Yang did not answer, but lay back on the chair, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

It's not about investing...

He is aware of one thing.

That is the special effects of China's local blockbusters, which have almost been monopolized by "Hollywood production".

If Chinese local films want to make blockbuster films with good special effects, they can only find Hollywood to cooperate, and they can only passively accept expensive sums and reduce investment in other parts of the film.

It was as if his throat was choked, and he couldn't even breathe.

He doesn't know special effects, but in Li Qiang's eyes, he also knows that "Spider-Man" can't spend so much money on special effects...

It's almost a money grab.

After a long silence, Zhou Yang finally looked at Li Qiang.

"Brother Qiang... how about our local special effects in China?"

"Some small productions are fine, but if you really want to make a big movie... still can't do anything, I don't know in a few years, but there is really a gap in the technical level now..."

"Why is there a gap?"

"Hollywood special effects control all aspects of Chinese blockbusters. Part of the post-processing of the film "The Grand Master" was actually done with the help of the Hollywood team... For a student who graduated from a professional school, the price for an internship offered by a Hollywood special effects company is Twice the size of Huaxia Company, and top talents want to get in...the more top talents there are, the more detailed things they make, and the more detailed they are, the easier it is to harvest the Huaxia market...and those The second-rate and third-rate talents go to Huaxia Special Effects Company. After going to Huaxia Special Effects Company, the overall quality of employees is not as good as that of overseas special effects companies. It is difficult to get market recognition. Naturally, I don’t have the money to buy the computer equipment, if I can’t keep up with the times, the vicious circle will become more...” Li Qiang looked at Zhou Yang with a somewhat helpless expression on his face.

"Huaxia actually has talents, doesn't it?"

"Yes, there are talents, but all the talents have been poached..."

"..."

The office fell into silence again.

Zhou Yang silently looked at the darkness outside the window, and began to feel a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

At this moment, he found that he couldn't do anything.

After a long time, he looked at Wang Jing.

"Sister Jing, how about this, let's mention it to the business unit we cooperate with, saying that we want to shoot a blockbuster film with an investment of hundreds of millions...see if anyone is willing to cooperate in the filming, and if so, we are willing to accept the other party's investment, so let's say The investment in "Spider-Man", well, the investment is tentatively set at about [-] million RMB, maybe a little more, maybe a little less..."

"Well, good!" Wang Jing nodded: "I'll contact you now."

When Wang Jing left with her mobile phone, only Zhou Yang and Li Qiang were left in the office.

"Brother Qiang..."

"Well, yes."

"You guys do post-production, do you know any local special effects personnel in China? These days, you can help me run around, it is best to form a team, not to do special effects, but to help me get a detailed budget for "Spider-Man". I want to know how much investment is needed for the shots I want to present..."

"Ok."

Li Qiang nodded.

After receiving the "Spider-Man" materials, he left the office silently.

After Li Qiang left, Zhou Yang continued to look down at the script of "Spider-Man".

After watching for a while, he picked up the phone and called Huang Jiacheng.

"Hey……"

"Director Huang, I want to talk to you about something..."

"Xiao Zhou, I just want to chat with you. I just heard that you want to invest [-] million to make a Chinese special effects blockbuster, right?"

"Correct!"

"Xiao Zhou, don't be impulsive, don't be impulsive, and you must be calm. In this industry, I have seen too many directors start to irrationally want to make Chinese special effects blockbusters after they became famous, and the investment is hundreds of millions. [-] million... Zhou Yilin's "The Price of Gold in the City" invested more than [-] million, and only barely made a small profit after receiving countless advertisements...

"Director Huang, I think "Spider-Man" can..."

"Xiao Zhou, listen to me first, Chen Kai, do you know about Director Chen's "Tianji"? The investment is close to [-] million yuan, and now the word of mouth is poor, and he is still debating whether his "Tianji" is a bad movie." Justifying... Director Chen Kai who is able to shoot "Overlord", which is famous in the history of the film industry, is he amazing? Talent and artistic concept are not inferior to yours, right? His status in the film industry was much better than you before, he It’s the same fate, let alone you... I don’t trust you, but I hope you don’t be impulsive and calm down..."

"..."

"I really don't doubt your ability and keen understanding of the market, but the risk is too great. If you invest [-] million yuan, even if it's [-] million yuan, you have to earn at least one billion yuan in the global box office to pay back. Hollywood is in an embarrassing situation, like a joke, it's really hard to compare to Hollywood blockbusters..."

on the phone.

Huang Jiacheng said a series of words very anxiously, and gave Zhou Yang examples of many Chinese directors.

"Chinese blockbuster", he is too sensitive.

Huaxia's countless directors are talented and their commercial sensitivity is exploding. They can obviously move forward step by step steadily, but when they are filming, their brains suddenly heat up. What kind of special effects blockbuster should they shoot...

Then not only was the underpants torn, but even the word-of-mouth of the follow-up movie "exploded in situ", and it was completely devastated.

Chen Kai is the most vivid example!

When he heard that Zhou Yang suddenly wanted to shoot this kind of blockbuster, and the investment budget would exceed [-] million, Huang Jiacheng's first feeling was another "Chen Kai".

Zhou Yang felt a little warmth in his heart when he heard Huang Jiacheng dissuade him from all aspects, with deep concern in his voice.

After Huang Jiacheng finished speaking, Zhou Yang sighed.

"Director Huang, but I still want to try..."

"..." There was silence on the other end of the phone, and no words were spoken for a long time.

"Director Huang, I would like to borrow the special effects team of "The Grand Master". If you are free, it would be even better. You can help guide some traditional martial arts fighting movements of "Spider-Man"..."

"..." There was still silence on the other end of the phone.

"Director Huang?"

"Have you really decided?" Huang Jiacheng asked again.

"Decided."

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with these. How long will you be filming "Spider-Man", and how long will I take the team with you, but I still hope that you will think about it carefully and don't be so impulsive..."

"Director Huang, trust me."

"When did I never trust you? It's just, this time, forget it! I'll vote 1000 million too..."

"what!"

"The book of "The Grandmaster 2" just help me to think about it together."

"it is good!"

Zhou Yang hung up the phone.

Look at the script.

He changed the character of "Spider-Man".

Designing Peter Parker as a little man who worships Chinese Kungfu and learns some superficial Chinese Kungfu from comics, but because of his innate health since he was a child, he relies on Chinese medicine to continue his life, but has been bullied and despised by others. Later, Being bitten by a spider, the body has been strengthened, and the congenital hidden diseases have subsided...
