Chapter 783 Three Billion Filming Costs
Chapter 793 3 billion shooting cost
As we all know, Boss Yang likes to play Honor of Kings, especially Daji.
Chen Chuan played games with her for two hours. Chen Chuan plays Zhao Yun as a jungler. A long spear moves in and out of her middle to help her establish an advantage.
Daji's line is "Please give your orders to Daji, master."
Therefore, in the room where the two of them were, the words "Master, Master" kept coming out.
The two were playing by the window.
Huashan Town Resort is built in a peach garden, so in May the peach blossoms bloom all over the sky, and the pink and tender petals are all before your eyes. It is really pleasant to play games and enjoy the beautiful scenery at the same time.
Yang Jiaqi lay beside the window, intoxicated with the beautiful scenery in front of her and the fun of the game. She worked intensively for more than two months. After the scene was completed, she came here to play games with Chen Chuan. Chen Chuan's super strength and unpretentious operation made her super amazing, and the feeling of comfort rushed straight to her forehead, which was very relaxing.
In view of the start-up ceremony at eleven o'clock.
The two of them played for two hours. Although they couldn't stop and still had more to say, there was nothing they could do. Business was more important.
The crew of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has brought together 32 domestic first-line actresses, among which the top 20 are the most popular, with an average salary of 800,000 per episode.
This drama has 90 episodes. Calculated this way, the average salary is 72 million. But it can’t be calculated that way, because many people don’t have 90 episodes, and because of the salary limit order, the upper limit is 50 million.
Even so, the lead actor's salary alone is as high as 1 billion.
"Ding! The event of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" has been launched. The host has signed an agreement with all the leading actors, and the event is completed. One billion filming fees have been distributed, and the funds have been remitted to the host's account. Please check."
system hint.
The 1 billion attached to the incident has arrived.
But the money was obviously not enough, so Chen Chuan took precautions and started non-public financing long ago.
It is enough for each of these friends around me to contribute a little. He is a billionaire, and the people who play with him are not shabby either.
Moreover, this film and television project is so coveted that it has not yet started filming.
There are signs of being out of the circle. This is a prosperous era for Chinese-language film and television, and all major capital institutions want a piece of the pie.
After a simple negotiation, a financing agreement was signed, and each company joined forces to establish a limited liability partnership and transfer the investment funds to the project's exclusive account.
Among them, Li Jian exceeded 200 million. 300 million for the Lu family siblings. Yang Jiaqi 100 million. Shen Yudao 100 million. Sequoia Capital 300 million. IDG capital is 500 million. Zhou Jiayu 500 million.
Zhou Jiayu was a friend introduced by Li Jianchao. Chen Chuan has never met him, but he has met his sister Zhou Jingting at the construction site.
Zhou Jingting's construction company also participated in the construction of Huashan Town.
Regarding Zhou Jiayu, Li Jianchao always spoke with respect.
From the fact that he paid 500 million to participate in the "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" project without even showing his face, it is enough to show that he is wealthy.
You know, 500 million in cash, except for cheaters like Chen Chuan, not everyone can come up with it.
The total project funding is 3 billion, equivalent to 450 million U.S. dollars.
To make an analogy, "Avengers: Age of Ultron" cost $316 million to shoot.
"Spider-Man 3" cost $300 million to shoot. "Titanic" cost $200 million to shoot, but that was $200 million in 1997. Including inflation, is it equivalent to 350 million today?
"Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides" cost $420 million.
The above movies. If you count TV dramas, the most expensive American drama is "Game of Thrones", which is claimed to cost US$8 million per episode. Excluding the exaggerated cost, it is estimated to cost US$5 million per episode. The cost of one episode is equivalent to a 43-level "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
Calculated in this way, the total cost of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is US$450 million, with a total of 90 episodes. Is that equivalent to US$5 million per episode? On par with Game of Thrones.
A lot of the cost of Game of Thrones is spent on Dragon Mother's dragon. In order to present a more realistic dragon, the production team invested a lot of energy in 3D modeling, motion capture, color rendering, and motion calculation, and the skin texture has also been increased. 700 floors.
There are no dragons in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", but there are many big scenes. All expenses can be focused on service. In addition to star costs, other venue decorations, shooting equipment, computer special effects, professional dragon sets, etc. can be invested more.
The major scenes in the Three Kingdoms include: the Battle of Guandu, the Burning of Bowangpo, the Battle of Chibi, the Battle of Hefei, the Battle of Tongguan, the Battle of Yiling, the Battle of Hanzhong, the Battle of Jingzhou, the wedding of Liu Bei in Ganlu Temple, and Liu Chu from Qishan, The funeral of the prime minister, the death of Guan Yu, and the seven captures of Meng Huo. Jiang Wei made nine expeditions to the Central Plains and so on.
The cost of 3 billion yuan is enough to show these. Through the top-notch shooting equipment and the director’s lens language...the most shocking effects can be achieved.
The script was in Chen Chuan's hands. It was a thick volume of scripts given by the system.
Chen Chuan took it out, printed out several copies and gave them to the director Sunglasses King. The origin of the script is that I found someone to write it.
The opening ceremony of this day was held at the Huashan Town Resort.
There were 275 famous actors present, including 30 Internet celebrities from Douyin, Douyu, and Huya, as well as many new generations with good looks and figures.
Whether they are celebrities, Internet celebrities, or recent graduates from film and television schools, they all came to see Chen Chuan.
Chen Chuan evaluated the appearance of these people. Celebrities become celebrities because they are good-looking.
You know, generally speaking, celebrities are thinner and better-looking in real life than on screen. Because the lens has a stretching effect, it makes people look fatter and have a bigger face. So what looks good on the screen usually looks better in reality. For example, Gao Yuan, Li Meiqi, Li Bingbing, Choo Ja Hyun, Liu Tao, Ying Bao, Angela Beibi, etc. are all quite beautiful in reality.
On the contrary, Douyin celebrities are very ordinary in reality. No matter how good the figures of Internet celebrities are, no matter how well they twist their hips, in reality, without the blessing of beauty filters, even if they wear makeup, they are just average.
As for the other group of people, those graduates from major film and television schools, there are many good-looking ones. These newcomers don't have the aura and acting skills of actresses, but they are better because they are young, tender and good-looking.
The cast is divided into three categories: celebrity group, internet celebrity group, and college new generation group.
11:20 am.
The power-on ceremony begins.
The tables used for worship are covered with red velvet cloth. Guandi is worshiped on the table. On both sides are incense burners and roasted suckling pigs and delicious fruits.
Rows of ALEXA65 cameras are covered with red cloth.
The main creators of the crew burned incense and worshiped the gods one by one, and finally lifted the red cloth of the machine and announced that it was started.
Funders such as Chen Chuan, Li Jianchao, and the Lu family do not need to participate in these ceremonies. They can just be the boss behind the scenes and prepare to collect money.
Shen Yudao didn't come, so he transferred 100 million directly to Chen Chuan.
Shen Yudao is a good friend of Chen Chuan who he met in the game. He is a shy and handsome young man.
Chen Chuan originally did not intend to accept those two capital institutions. The two capital joint ventures invested RMB 800 million.
But Lu Qingshuang suggested letting capital enter the market, because it is easier to do things with a capital platform.
Chen Chuan agreed. Anyway, it was stipulated in the early stage that the capital would only provide money and would not interfere in the creation of the project. An important factor in the success of the movie "Wolf Warrior 2" that exploded at the box office is that no matter the creation of the script, the selection of actors, the arrangement of the plot, the filming process or the later publicity and promotion, it was not excessively capitalized. intervention.
As the project initiator, script provider, and largest funder, Chen Chuan still has the greatest say. But apart from giving a few young actors a trial run to test their proficiency, he would not interfere too much in the filming and would leave everything to a professional team.
Thanks to the boss Fu News, Mao Lier, Li Zishui, Militia III, Lao Jiu Ge, Starry Sky and a Grain of Light, and the rewards for making the country rich and the people strong.
