Chapter 354 The Comedy Miracle of the Tang Dynasty

There is a reason why Chen Fan said that.

Although for many directors, the bigger the budget, the easier it is for them to direct.

As long as there is enough investment, the actors can be better, the special effects can be the best, the props, scenes, food, clothing, housing and transportation can all be the best.

But when the investment reaches a certain level and your boss asks you to spend it all, it is not that simple.

After working with Yan Hong so many times, Chen Fan naturally believes that she is not a person who invests indiscriminately.

Now that she said it this way, she would definitely have to think about where the movie still needs to be spent.

For a sci-fi movie, money is spent other than the actors' remuneration.

That's props, costumes, extras, special effects, sets, makeup, sound effects, transportation, and more.

In order to construct a real Marvel Universe, in Chen Fan's view, apart from special effects, props, scenery and people are more important.

Just imagine, a few people show up in a movie, will others feel that this is a real world?
Yan Hong clearly understood what Chen Fan meant. She didn't even blink when she heard about the investment just now.

The boss, Xiao Chen, has always been very courageous, and his vision is very accurate. Every investment has yielded benefits.

She didn't believe that one billion was just casually said by Chen Fan, the movie probably really cost that much money.

"But boss, our company account doesn't have that much money anymore. Do we need to cooperate with another film and television company?"

Lin Zixuan was still worried about the investment. Excluding the investment in "Star Wars", the company's balance was only a few hundred million, and even half of the money from "Iron Man" could not be paid out.

Chen Fan glanced at Lin Zixuan, then turned his head and asked Yan Hong,
"Director Yan, how much time do you think it takes to prepare this movie?"

Yan Hong closed her eyes and pondered for a while, and the plot she just watched flashed through her mind.

After communicating with Chen Fan, she became paranoid, and felt that every segment seemed to have a deep meaning.

Considering that this movie is a big plan of Chen Fan, Yan Hong finally decided to carefully study the script, search for actors, and strive for perfection.

"Mr. Chen, four months, I will try to prepare all the elements of this movie in four months!"

four months?
It seemed that Yan Hong really cared.

However, for a blockbuster special effects film, it takes several months to go back and forth from scene layout, to prop production, to location scouting and actor recruitment.

Take a look at Luka's "Star Wars". I started preparing for it years ago, and it has been almost a month and a half now. It is estimated that it will take more than half a month to leave the filming.

"Okay, then we tentatively plan for four months!"

Only then did Chen Fan face Lin Zixuan,
"Don't worry too much about the money. The boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, and there are still four months. Do you think we can't make one billion in four months in the prosperous Tang Dynasty?"

"..."

You are the boss, you have the final say!
Lin Zixuan opened his mouth and gave Chen Fan a thumbs up.

"Boss is domineering!"

After thinking about it, Lin Zixuan suddenly had a suggestion,

"Mr. Chen, at the Aucas International Film Festival, our Tang Dynasty's "Terminator" is considered a hit movie. Many movie fans have more opinions on this movie, and many people have not seen the movie yet. "

"I think, how about we re-release it? I think it is possible to get another [-]-[-] million box office in China."

There is no video website in Longguo at present, and if the movie is released, it will be impossible to watch it.

Lin Zixuan's proposal does have many benefits.

As he said, because of the success of this movie in Oscars, there must be many people who want to watch it again and again, plus those who have not seen this movie yet and are interested in watching it, the box office is still Really not low.

However, after Chen Fan thought for a moment, he still rejected the proposal.

"If eight or ten years later, we release this movie with nostalgia, it's still pretty good, let's forget it now."

Today's prosperous Tang Dynasty is on the cusp of the storm, and many people are eyeing themselves.

There is no precedent for a movie to be released in theaters again, and I don't know why Lin Zixuan came up with this idea suddenly.

Chen Fan felt that it's better not to fall into the trap of others, lest someone say that prosperity in the prosperous Tang Dynasty is ugly.

Moreover, there must be a lot of pirated DVDs in the society now, and it's hard to say that many people will watch it when it's actually released.

Lin Zixuan didn't think much about it, it was just a thought that came to him out of the blue, Chen Fan refused, so he stopped thinking about it.

At this time, he was concentrating on calculations.

Is it true that the Tang Dynasty could earn one billion in four months?

……

The next day, Ning Fan, Chen Fan, Nangong Shiyue, Ye Zi, Li Xiao, and the entire crew plus some supporting actors booked a plane and flew to Hanzhou in a low-key manner.

At this time, the fans of Nangong Shiyue and Chen Fan were still fighting each other, and several new songs by Xiong Dongfeng and Fruit Girl dominated the TT Music new song list.

Ye Changge and Yu Fei are mastering the new song written by Chen Fan, and Girls' Generation is still tirelessly rehearsing the dance.

The Strawberry Band had just finished an announcement and got on the plane back to Shengtang. They composed a few songs and planned to let Zhang Ming listen to them.

Each crew is also busy with their own affairs.

Regardless of the ups and downs outside, Sheng Tang walked forward steadily and steadfastly alone.

On the evening of March 3, both "Nightclub" and "You at the Same Table" were taken off the shelves.

The cumulative box office of the New Year's "Nightclub" ranked third, with 4.6 million.

"My Deskmate" ranked fourth with a cumulative box office of 3.8 million.

Since the box office of "Nightclub" surpassed "You at the Same Table" in the first week, it has been firmly pressing the latter behind.

Another myth of Tang comedy was born.

At this time, people in the industry began to wonder.

Is comedy the right way to start a film and television company?
Otherwise, every one of the three comedies in the Tang Dynasty would have been a hit?

Or, what is the magic of Tang Dynasty comedy?
Many people have already thoroughly studied the field of film research in the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

The more I study, the more confused I become.

Although the comedies of Tang Dynasty are very funny, that's all. They don't have the visual effects of blockbuster special effects movies, they don't have the excitement of horror movies, and they aren't as touching as drama movies.

Why are they able to get high box office?

If Chen Fan knew about this, he would definitely laugh.

What is the concept of a comedy that is funny?
The audience wants to watch a comedy, isn't it just to laugh?Do you still want them to start thinking about life because of this comedy?

Although the comedies of the prosperous Tang Dynasty have a certain depth, in the final analysis, they are just to make the audience happy.

And most audiences don't care about the depth of the movie, as long as it can keep you entertained, then this movie is worth it!
But even if these film and television companies understand this truth, it is difficult to replicate the miracle of the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

After all, the hardest part of making a comedy is the laughing point!
