Entertainment Empire

After a moment of silence, there was a huge noise. The actors looked at each other, several investor representatives had disbelief on their faces, and even the staff who were closest to Zhou Xingchi also opened their mouths in astonishment.

Everyone thought they heard wrongly.

One of the management representatives swallowed and said in a slightly harsh voice: "Director Zhou, this joke is not that funny. No matter what reason you have to re-shoot, how should we calculate the funds that have been lost before? What we have already paid How to calculate manpower and material resources, and..."

This sentence seemed to open a gap.

Zhou Xingchi was instantly surrounded by people, and countless questions poured out. Luo Xun was temporarily squeezed out. Zhang Suining on the side quietly pulled Luo Xun's arm and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"

Luo Xun told the whole story.

Zhang Suining's eyes widened slightly when she heard this, and her surprised look was really beautiful. Then she whispered in a low voice: "If you mean the same thing as Director Zhou, then I will insist on finishing the movie, but I have to Prioritize filming my scenes. The previous filming was wasted and it was already wasted for a long time.”

"Um."

Luo Xun rubbed Zhang Sui Ning's hair, feeling a little warm in her heart. For an actor, especially a big-name actor like Zhang Sui Ning, when encountering such a weird thing, her first reaction should be that she doesn't understand, or even directly The contract with the crew was terminated, but because of her own existence, Zhang Sui Ning easily accepted Zhou Xingchi's decision to remake the movie.

but……

Zhang Sui Ning can understand Zhou Xingchi because of Luo Xun's existence, but others cannot. As Zhou Xingchi announced the decision to restart filming, the entire crew was shaken, which directly caused "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" to be suspended that day and unable to continue filming. .

Not just that day.

For a long time, "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" was unable to continue filming. The crew was completely shut down. The money lost every day was a huge amount, and Zhou Xingchi was involved in business affairs with major investors. In the midst of the wrangling, every day was in a state of stress. Under such circumstances, the crew gradually lost their hearts. After a week, the actor's contract was inevitably terminated.

Ten days later.

The crew hasn't started work yet, and even some behind-the-scenes staff have left with their salaries. Everyone has to catch up, and no one can guarantee when Zhou Xingchi's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" will be restarted. It can't always be If this kind of trouble arises here, even Xingye's name will be of no use, and Zhou Xingchi generously let him go. After all, he knows that his decision is too earth-shattering.

Until more than half a month later.

Zhou Xingchi ran around and worked hard, and finally discussed with major investors a solution that everyone was satisfied with. Now it was extremely lively to divest investment and reduce holdings. After a lot of trouble, although the problem was barely solved, the movie "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" has completely become a veritable mess, not as exciting as before.

Next.

Zhou Xingchi himself had to pay for his willfulness, and Luo Xun also had to take over this project because of his support for Zhou Xingchi. Fortunately, he was mentally prepared, and after discussing with Xia Yu, he directly provided this project in the name of Yinbai Studio. 100 million was invested in the film, and the money was received in three batches. Luo Xun also needed room for change, so he had to sell the subsequent copyright of "Singer" to Hunan TV to finally maintain a smooth transition of funds.

This wave is very hurtful!

But Luo Xun thinks it’s worth it!

After the financial pressure was relieved, Stephen Chow began to introduce cameras specifically used for shooting 3D movies to the crew. This was an important opportunity for him to decide to reshoot the movie with 3D effects. Some relevant companies were willing to provide it to Stephen Chow at a low price for "Journey to the West". "Conquering the Demons" was shot. As for the previous machines, the ones that were rented were returned and the ones that were bought were rented out, barely recovering the blood and stopping the losses.

…

Most of the news in the circle is exchanged. A shocking incident happened to the crew of "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". How could it be hidden from the eyes of people in the circle? So when Zhou Xingchi was busy filming the 3D version of the movie, this matter had already become a circle. The most popular topic here!

Hotly discussed in the circle!

The beginning of every topic is that Zhou Xingchi decided to remake "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", and then the investors withdrew funds from Zhou Xingchi's film. The end of every topic must be a unified five-word conclusion:

Zhou Xingchi is crazy!

People who don't understand will say: "Normal film shooting can no longer satisfy him. He actually wants to make some 3D movies. When the whole world is making 2D movies, he wants to make some 3D movies. Isn't this crazy?" What? The first person to eat crab may taste a delicious food, but he may also taste a bowl of arsenic!”

There are also a few who understand.

There are always elites in the circle.

It's just that these so-called elites who understand 3D technology don't understand Zhou Xingchi even more: "There is no environment for 3D movies to survive in China. The soil of theaters cannot breed the future of 3D movies. When Zhou Xingchi made this decision, he carefully considered what would happen if he... Once the movie is made, how many screens in China and even around the world can fully show the effect of his movie?"

Genius is on the left and madness is on the right.

In the past, Zhou Xingchi stood on the left and was worshiped by people. Now Zhou Xingchi stands on the right and enjoys the greatest controversy. Some even expressed sympathy to Luo Xun: "I thought that joining the crew of Star Master and playing the male lead would be like reaching the sky in one step. , I didn’t expect Mr. Xing to be so unreliable. Luo Xun must be crying now. Will he terminate his contract with Zhou Xingchi? "

What a pity.

As soon as such a voice appeared, there was news that Yinbai Studio under Luo Xun's name invested 100 million in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons". Luo Xun himself is not only the well-deserved male No. 1 in this movie, but also became a major investor in Zhou Xingchi's movie!

This time!

The circle was stunned!

After Zhou Xingchi went crazy, did Luo Xun also go crazy? He dared to risk the world's disapproval and invested 100 million in Zhou Xingchi's movie that the entire circle did not think highly of?

Damn!

According to normal people's logic, after such a thing happened, even if Luo Xun did not terminate the contract with Zhou Xingchi for the movie role due to their personal relationship, he should not have spent so much of his wealth to fill the hole for Zhou Xingchi!

It's called a reshoot...

But if it's just a reshoot, there's still room for improvement. Your reshoot, Zhou Xingchi, is equivalent to replacing half of the crew (3D photography requires foreign professionals to operate), and about 80% of the equipment has been replaced (the original camera can't produce the desired effect). The investment required here cannot be simply summarized by the word "reshoot" -

Luo Xun is crazy too!

This is a crazy couple!
