In 2018, China's box office exceeded 60 billion, and the total box office of the top three movies accounted for 16%.

Someone wants to ask: Do you think that those 84% of the money-losing goods are fools?

The industry is indeed very deep, but it is not that complicated in the eyes of insiders: what kind of cast, who is the director, which publisher is, who is the promotion to...

After these are confirmed, both investors and producers can roughly estimate the profit ratio.

In other words, those works that lose money can be estimated at the beginning of the project.

So the question is, why are there still a large number of works rushing to lose money every year?

"Crazy Alien" is released with a guaranteed release of 2.8 billion yuan. Do you think the amount is very high and the risk is very high?

In fact, people are not worried at all, they just make more money and make hundreds of millions. By the same token, people are willing to invest in those movies that say they lose money. What are the tricks in this?

If an investor tells you that the budget is far more than you need to shoot yourself, don’t be happy!

Another contract is also required to sign: the promotion and expenditure of the film; the use and construction of the shooting scenes; the clothing, props, makeup and even photography, etc., must be handed over to him to "pack", and the price shall be determined by him.

For example, the other party can invest 200 million and pay 20 million for the director and actors' expenses, and the remaining 180 million will be used for the cost expenditure during the filming process, but this expenditure can be achieved by "left hand to right hand", and the actual cost expenditure may be less than 10% of the 180 million.

If this happens, more than 150 million yuan of black money can be whitewashed.

If it were in the past, there would definitely be many producers and directors who accepted the proposals of investors, and they could even send you basic profits in advance.

However, after the "tax supplement" policy was released, few people worked like this again.

What does ‘tax supplement’ mean?

It means that relevant functional departments will provide unprecedented monitoring efforts on the source of funds for film and television projects, especially the process and traces of "document".

Once found out, deal with it directly and never tolerate it!

But there is still a long way to go to completely get rid of this cancer. After all, the problem of "the cost of film and television drama production is not transparent" is difficult to solve...

Yuehua is the leader, with a lot of people paying attention to it, and things that can’t be done if you cross the line!

...

On September 13, Suzhou, there was rain...

The crew of "Inception" arrived at Su*zhou Film and Television City and started filming in China.

Let me first talk about it, "Inception" is definitely a Sino-US joint venture, with funds and more than one-third of the actors...

The direct investor of China is Su*zhou Film and Television City. Zhang’s father is not short of money. In order to attract the crew of "Inception", he directly invested 30 million US dollars. Not only that, he contracted all the fees, accommodation and food in China!

Big boss, ▄█?█…

Zhang’s father never thought of making money through the box office of "Inception", he simply wanted to create the name of Su*zhou Film and Television City!

Is there any effect?

Haha, when "Inception" is released next year, everyone will know!

Zhang Junsheng came to the crew of "Inception". In addition to learning the orthodox Hollywood shooting techniques, he also had a party...

This is a rain scene. If the amount of rainfall in the sky is not enough, it will definitely require artificial rain.

However, there will be a color difference between cloudy and sunny rain. It may not be obvious at first glance, but it will be obvious when placed on the big screen.

If Zhang Junsheng was filming this scene, he might move the crew into the factory and spray water guns. The effect presented in this way will be closer to the real rain scene...

What would a great director like Nolan do?

Zhang Junsheng was still thinking about it, and then he became stupid.

Several props were holding a super big flag, blocking the whole scene...

Immediately, the set turned into a cloudy day, and then the valve opened and the pipe holes mounted around it began to spray.

"Wow!"

The rain was pouring heavily in an instant, and both the water volume and the light color seemed extremely real.

There are two points when filming rain scenes: one is water pressure, and the crew must finish work before the peak of water use in citizens, otherwise the water pressure will not be sufficient and the effect will not be formed. The other is the light, and the light must be pushed behind the rain so that the rain can be seen clearly.

The crew was busy and prepared and started filming immediately.

Looking at these props, Zhang Junsheng was so envious...

The behind-the-scenes personnel that Yuehua has are basically the highest-level in the entire Chinese film industry!

Of course they could do the scene just now, but I couldn't imagine it!

When he walked into the studio he built, the dark roof seemed to stretch infinitely, covering this magical area.

The set is divided into three pieces according to the scale of the set, with the smallest on the left and the larger on the right, and the most eye-catching thing is the middle.

An object that looked like an iron box was hung in the air, several meters high and dozens of meters long, with several large rings around it, and countless brackets and bases.

Zhang Junsheng looked up slightly and looked at the big guy carefully. From head to toe, from top to bottom, there was a cold and mysterious sci-fi feel.

To be honest, Chinese-language filmmakers have not had many contacts with Hollywood, and a few successful people may not have the opportunity to get to know them in depth.

Zhang Junsheng spent some time in Hollywood, but the "Pulp Novel" he filmed is a typical story stream and has nothing to do with props!

At this time, he was a little stunned after seeing the layout of the studio!

At the same time, I also realized that the difference between the 50,000 special effects and the 50,000 special effects is here!

Chen Junning, the Chinese person in charge who called the studio, asked, "Are you all these built?"

"No, it's a bunch of British people!"

The other party was silent for a moment before answering: "We followed some auxiliary work and also participated in the physical creation..."

"You... tell me what this thing is!"

Zhang Junsheng asked, pointing to the huge palace on the right side of the studio.

Chen Junning was a little proud: "This is the first dream crossing scene caused by Leonardo DiCaprio's Dom Cobb being pushed into the bathtub!"

"Doum's feelings about water in the upper world were transmitted to the lower dream, and had a surreal effect: the entire palace was flooded with surging water."

"We store a total of 5,000 gallons of water in 26 water tanks carefully arranged in each window of the scene. These water tanks are opened in sequence under the drive of the mechanism, and the scene of "water flooding the mountains of gold" is created."

The other party said it very carefully, and Zhang Junsheng was confused when he heard it...

But he knew that he could not take this realistic special effect!

"How do you know so clearly?"

"Director Nolan had already agreed to us before filming, to make specific details on each scene! And, he gave us half a year to prepare..."

“…Okay, I understand…”

After walking around, Zhang Junsheng turned around a little depressedly and stood in the corner watching the people debugging Wiya.

Suddenly I felt really cute. Compared with the big director, I was so bad that I didn’t know a little bit...
Chapter completed!
