Chapter 0255 Open the door to domestic science fiction movies
Tomahawk Entertainment has indeed approved the film project a long time ago. Although the subject matter of this film is very unpopular, and it is directed by a newcomer, the probability of it being rejected is higher than that of ordinary films.
But Tomahawk Entertainment has never been afraid of engaging in unpopular themes, nor is it afraid of cultivating new talents, nor is it afraid of attacking the public. Otherwise, it would not have supported those two Chinese idol groups.
However, the executives of Tomahawk Entertainment are not fools, and there is no way they would spend so much money to train other people’s rookies.
Even if the money is really wasted in the end, it’s still a good idea to give the newcomers in your family some experience!
Therefore, this director must not be an outsider.
In addition, Qi Shan's ability was not bad, so he was targeted by Tomahawk Entertainment.
After signing the contract, the rest of the process became much smoother. Almost on the day he signed the contract, the film was officially announced.
Then, we started to assemble the crew.
When Qi Shan saw the amount of investment in the movie, he was dumbfounded:
"Fifty million?"
Qi Shan originally thought that getting an investment of 10 million would be a big deal, but he didn't expect that Tomahawk Entertainment invested 50 million in one fell swoop!
Invest 50 million for a new director to make an unpopular movie?
Hiss...the courage of this company is terrifying!
"Let's get to know each other, this is Kong Xiujie, Lao Kong. The producer of the movie is relatively experienced in this area. He will work with you to form the crew and shoot the subsequent movies." An Yi introduced.
Now Qishan is also under the name of Han Lan Studio, so it is also her responsibility.
Qi Shan knew that the 50 million would be under the control of this old man, so he quickly shook hands with him warmly and shouted: "Brother Kong."
Kong Xiujie's personality was also relatively easy to get along with, and he became familiar with Qishan after chatting for a few words.
An Yi didn't care about the follow-up matters anymore. Kong Xiujie had experience in setting up a crew, and there were people he knew who could recruit photographers and so on. She would just go back and cooperate with the human resources department.
By the time the grassroots team was set up, it was already more than two weeks later.
At this time, one month had passed since the release of "Escape".
The box office for the first month is also out.
"Age of Escape" had a box office of 4.3 billion in its first month! It ranked second! It successfully eclipsed the Beacon Country blockbuster "Power Rangers: The Final Chapter"!
The whole network was plunged into a carnival.
Especially a group of science fiction fans, a group of science fiction fans who are obsessed with Chinese science fiction movies. Some of them have already sat in front of the computer and couldn't help crying.
"Did you know? It has been more than 40 years since China introduced the first science fiction movie from the Lighthouse Country to the concept of science fiction movies!"
"God knows what kind of things those Hundan people in China have filmed in the past forty years or so?"
"The globe is used as the earth, the toy is used as the spaceship, the plot is basically copied from the lighthouse country, but it is copied like a ghost... I have tolerated them for a long time!"
"But don't mention it! In recent years, we have introduced new traffic figures, and various youth idols have started to show off and fall in love. The special effects have made money, and the results have become more and more magical."
"Fortunately, now we finally have a film that works! Escape is awesome! Old Black is awesome! Tomahawk Entertainment is awesome!"
Sci-fi fans have really waited too long and are tired!
And now, "The Age of Escape" has finally officially opened the door to China's hard science fiction movies!
The box office and reputation of "The Age of Escape" have proven everything!
Chinese people can also make excellent hard science fiction movies!
What makes these science fiction fans even more excited is that the overseas box office of "Escape" has also been reported, which is 1.58 million foreign currency, which is more than 10 million in box office!
Compared with the domestic figure of 4.3 billion, it is not even a fraction, but this is already the highest box office achieved overseas by a Chinese science fiction movie!
The most important thing is that many foreigners are exclaiming that China actually has hard science fiction movies!
In the past, they did not recognize Chinese science fiction movies, thinking they were magic! They laughed at China, a land of ignorance that could not produce hard science fiction!
"What a damn relief!"
…
…
"I didn't expect them to win in the end."
Looking at the box office data on the screen, Lin Guiyi also felt a little emotional.
"Armed Sky City", which he had high hopes for, was forced to be released a week after its release. The final box office was 220 million. However, considering the water in its 350 million investment, this box office was still barely enough after the accounts were divided.
Losing money.
"How did those film companies react?" Lin Guiyi asked.
"Since the Douyan platform restricted film reviews, they can only write negative reviews of "Escape" on Bibo and other social platforms, but the impact is obviously limited. Now I guess they can only admit it, after all, it was originally a loose alliance
, it’s easy to become disengaged when the results are not good, and many companies have already stopped.”
"Where's China Entertainment?"
"China Entertainment Group also stopped its last online marketing team last week and began to focus on preparing for Wu Tao's new album."
"Hahaha, are you planning to continue to rely on NC fans to increase album sales to make money?" Lin Guiyi smiled, shook his head, and asked: "How was the investigation?"
"It's a bit difficult to find a breakthrough. The little bosses and dealers in the fan base are all very vigilant, and they can't break in at all."
"Approval another two million in funding, and I want detailed evidence of their entire gray industry chain!"
"yes!"
"Is there any news over at Tomahawk Entertainment?"
"Tomahawk Entertainment has recently been forming a new crew. It seems that they have recruited enough people. They should announce a new movie in the next few days. The news I got is that it seems to be a kung fu movie."
"Kung Fu?" Lin Guiyi was stunned for a moment, "Taekwondo kind?"
It's not that Lin Guiyi is ignorant. Chinese Kung Fu has never been popular in this world, and he has been studying abroad for a long time, so he knows that Taekwondo is pretty good.
"Mr. Lin, it's Chinese Kung Fu, and the Tai Chi that Han Lan did before on the concert stage is one of them. But what they filmed this time seems to be Mizong Quan." Wang Sheng explained.
"This subject is very unpopular, even more unpopular than science fiction... Is Tomahawk Entertainment planning to specialize in making movies with this unpopular subject?" Lin Guiyi muttered and ordered: "Keep an eye on them, these people can always give you something.
I have some surprises, so don’t be careful."
"Understood." Assistant Wang Sheng responded. Seeing that Lin Guiyi didn't have any medicine, he turned around and left.
"effort?"
Lin Guiyi thought to himself again, why does he secretly feel that this subject is so popular?
Lin Guiyi couldn't understand and felt that he was overthinking. He shook his head with a smile and started to process the documents on the table.
"Xiao Yuchen's album and concert have to be put on the schedule. Xia Ningxuan shouldn't make any big moves in the short term, which can avoid a crash."
Chapter completed!
