Chapter 441 The Sensation Caused by The Matrix

The Matrix, after Zhang Fan announced the news.The whole China is discussing this matter.

Zhang Fan wrote, directed and acted on his own, with a total investment of one billion RMB.This is unprecedented in the history of Chinese film.In China, an investment of over [-] million is considered a big investment.

Even the few well-known big directors have never directed a movie worth more than one billion yuan.In the Chinese market, a box office of more than one billion is considered a smashing market, and a movie with a total investment of one billion is too risky.

Now, Zhang Fan really has to play big.One billion investment, sci-fi theme, the goal is to create a sci-fi blockbuster in China.

In the entertainment circle, when the news was announced.Countless artists were alarmed.If you can participate in a blockbuster movie with an investment of one billion yuan, there will definitely be a lot of benefits.

What's more, this movie was written by Zhang Fan, and Zhang Fan's talent has already been proved.This summer, Longteng Entertainment has released a two-step cartoon.

"Kung Fu Panda" was released in July, and the box office in China reached 28 billion yuan.Even in the big market of North America, Kung Fu Panda still has an income of 2.3 million US dollars.

The global ticket sales amounted to 7.36 million US dollars, which created the history of Chinese movies.And the Ice Age, which is currently being screened, is still arousing heated discussions around the world, and the box office is no worse than Kung Fu Panda.

The screenwriters of these two animated films are both Zhang Fan.These two films are enough to illustrate Zhang Fan's ability to write stories.Now, Zhang Fan invested a huge sum of one billion to write, direct and act in the sci-fi blockbuster "The Matrix", this opportunity.Not to mention that domestic actors sharpen their heads and want to play the role, even actors from other countries want to play the role in it.

At the Longteng Artists Association, Longteng Entertainment Group announced the role requirements.The hero and heroine of The Matrix have been decided.The male advocates Fan, and the female protagonist Leng Yuefei.

The script of The Matrix was changed by Zhang Fan to a Chinese background.The background and characters inside are also from China.Zhang Fan appeared as a savior, and Leng Yuefei appeared as a heroine.

As for the other actors, Zhang Fan announced them through the Artists Association.And gave the specific remuneration situation.

This salary is the same as Zhang Fan's usual style, and the salary is relatively low.The salary of Zhang Fan and Leng Yuefei is only 2000 million.This is even more true of character pay for other characters.

In terms of actors' remuneration, Zhang Fan's budget is 5000 million RMB.Accounting for one-twentieth of the total film investment, this ratio is already very low.

For this movie, most of the production budget will be invested in special effects and props.After all, The Matrix is ​​a science fiction film, and there are still many special effects used.

Zhang Fan is not willing to let the audience see the special effects of [-] cents. In terms of special effects technology, the current technology of Longteng Group is not weaker than those special effects companies in Hollywood.

So in terms of special effects, Zhang Fan didn't have to worry at all.Although the investment of one billion yuan is considered very large.However, we must take it seriously in terms of capital utilization to ensure that every penny is used reasonably.

For The Matrix, Zhang Fan is also full of ambitions.The Matrix is ​​the beginning of Zhang Fan's official impact on the world.Zhang Fan wants to use this film to fight Hollywood blockbusters head-on, and it will be a global fight.

"This time it's a lot of fun."

In the hotel, Leng Yuefei looked at the list selected by Zhang Fan and couldn't help saying.Lively, indeed lively.Countless people sign up for each role.

Several super first-tier superstars also came to run for roles, not to mention the first-tier and second-tier ones.It can be said that almost all the actors in the Chinese entertainment industry have submitted auditions.

"Yeah, I want to come in. Now I dare not answer the phone."

Zhang Fan's words made Leng Yuefei laugh happily.At Zhang Fan's stage, he couldn't bear to take care of Huaxia's sophistication.Many people now want to gain favor with Zhang Fan.

This made Zhang Fan naturally cautious in choosing roles.And it is very cautious.First of all, acting skills must pass the test, which must not be sloppy.

The second is to consider other issues such as the character of the artist.For directors, choosing actors is a technical task.

Fortunately, Zhang Fan is different from ordinary directors. He invests by himself, and the crew decides by himself.If it were another director, just the people who were stuffed in by investors would be enough to cause headaches.

"Yeah, your big move this time has touched too many people's hearts. Especially the few super-first-line players who have always wanted to hit the intercontinental superstar. They are not lacking in fame in China. But they showed up abroad Chance……"

Leng Yuefei couldn't help but said, Zhang Fan also nodded.Yes, at present, several super-first-tier players have been promoted in China.At present, there are as many as [-] super-first-tier companies in China.

These thirteen people are all actors.At present, all the thirteen super first-tier are focusing on the film industry.

They also want to hit the intercontinental superstar, but it is not so easy to hit the superstar.The requirement to become an intercontinental superstar is to have a certain reputation abroad, otherwise they will not be able to become an intercontinental superstar even if they are famous in China.

But while looking around at foreign fame, we must also keep an eye on our own domestic reputation, and we must not let our reputation decline.This is difficult to achieve, after all, sometimes it is difficult to adjust the taste of domestic and foreign tastes.

Zhang Fan stared at the thirteen lists in his hand. Each of these thirteen people was a veteran.The acting skills are of course needless to say.Now these thirteen people want to act in this movie, which is naturally a kind of happiness for Zhang Fan.

The most important thing is that these people have resources to reduce their pay.You must know that the salaries of these people in China are not low.It costs at least 5000 to [-] million to just pull anyone to star in a movie.

But now Zhang Fan's salary is very low, even for the important No. 200 and No. [-] roles, the salary is only about [-] million.

But these people don't care, even if zero pay appears, they don't have any thoughts.What they want now is not money, but fame.As long as they can participate, if the quality of the movie is better, what they get is a height that they can't reach even with tens of millions of publicity.

In addition to super first-line, Zhang Fan also laughed at the huge first-line and second-line lineup below.

"Since they're willing to come, okay, let's have an all-star lineup."

Zhang Fan's words stunned Leng Yuefei.

"All-Star?"

Leng Yuefei asked curiously.

"That's right, all-stars. Even if it's a side role, stars are used. I believe that many people will be willing to come to guest roles."

Zhang Fan's words made Leng Yuefei's eyes light up.That's right, the All-Stars, even if they're extras, I guess they will all participate.After all, the popularity of "The Matrix" is very high, and this is a reasonable amount of enthusiasm for them.

The film "The Matrix" is destined to be a super popular blockbuster in China, and if you can catch the popularity of this film, you can always increase your reputation.

Zhang Fan quickly selected some lists and sent them out.Inform the audition, finalize the role as soon as possible, and start shooting as soon as possible.After all, filming The Matrix was time-consuming.
