"Really big investment?" This made Du Jun a little curious.
Because the two previous movies of Chu Han are indeed not considered big investments, let alone Buried Alive. The investment of one million is simply a joke. The investment of 50 million for Pancreas is quite satisfactory for youth movies and cannot be considered high.
It's a big investment.
As one of the box office sharers, Du Jun certainly hopes that the company's movies will get better and better, and the box office will get higher and higher. Of course, he does not want the company to lose money. The current Honghuo Media is not only for Du Jun, but also for other competitors.
That said, they don't seem to be particularly strong companies.
First of all, it is limited to capital. The current working capital on their company's books is only tens of millions, and the box office share of Pancreas will not be released for half a month. Where can they have the money to make large investments?
When Du Jun returned to the company and saw a large group of people from the company gathered together waiting for him, he understood that Chu Han had invested again.
Those present were Ren Zhongji Bo, Xu Xin and Yu Siqiang.
It is worth mentioning that Yu Siqiang will also play a role in the play, and during the audition just now, he has performed it perfectly.
And these people are all investors in this movie. These people came together and made an investment of 300 million.
When he heard this amount, Du Jun was really surprised. He seemed to have never expected that Chu Han would dare to play such a big game. From one million to 50 million, from 50 million to 300 million, what if he loses?
?
You know, with an investment of up to 300 million, it has been a phenomenal movie that has been watched by everyone from the beginning. This kind of movie must have high quality requirements and must be promoted through all channels.
If something happens to the movie accidentally, it is very likely to cause huge losses.
He is not Chu Han. His idea is that if he gets good profits even with 50 million, he will definitely work steadily and control the remaining film investment to around 50 million, so as to ensure the maximum profit for himself.
But Chu Han deserves to be Chu Han, and he deserves to be Du Jun's boss, but his ideas are different from ordinary people.
"Boss, are you serious? Is it really a 300 million movie?"
"Yes, it's true. What's wrong? Are you nervous?" Chu Han looked at Du Jun in front of him in a funny way.
"That's not true, I'm just a little worried." Du Jun swallowed and spat.
"What are you worried about? As long as you act well according to the script, the film should have no problem paying back."
This is Chu Han's self-confidence, as long as the original cost is repaid. After all, a movie with one million yuan can reach 500 million yuan, and a movie with 300 million yuan can repay the cost as long as it reaches 600 million yuan. What are you afraid of?
Moreover, the highest investor is not Chu Han, but Xu Xin. Chu Han’s investment is also only about 50 million. It stands to reason that he will definitely not lose money. Because he is the director, his investment proportion is the largest in the entire movie.
The second highest earner, as long as he makes a profit, he will also earn the second most. Why not do such a cheap thing?
Du Jun didn't know these things, otherwise he would never question why Chu Han made such a big investment.
"Where's the script? I want to read it first," Du Jun said.
"No need, you go to the makeup team to do your makeup first. As long as you pass the makeup test, you can be the leading actor." Chu Han said.
But in the end, I gave Du Jun a script. Du Jun was really curious about this movie. There was so much investment. What kind of script would get so much investment?
When Du Jun took the script and read it, his first impression was: "Zombie movie?"
In Du Jun's opinion, if a zombie movie requires an investment of 300 million yuan, it will indeed require so much if it truly strives for excellence. After all, special effects, explosion scenes, superpowers, and high technology all require money.
But as he watched it, Du Jun felt strange again. This seemed to be a feature film. How could a feature film cost so much money?
In this regard, Du Jun raised his own questions.
Chu Han told him directly: "Make up!"
Many people think, how much does it cost to put on makeup? With a splash of red potion and a bit of powder that is not very attractive, can a zombie be transformed successfully?
Obviously Du Jun also said this to Chu Han, but Chu Han smiled and said: "We are looking for special effects makeup artists. It costs about two thousand yuan for them to make a zombie, as well as their own labor costs. Then
We also need to interview special actors separately. Zombies require control of movements, expressions and emotions. They cannot be played by just recruiting an extra group of actors. Although this is a feature film, we want to work hard in this area to make the zombies real.
It looks like zombies, which enhances the sense of realism. For such a special actor, one scene is also expensive. There is a zombie scene, which requires 5,000 zombie actors. I want to restore this zombie scene.
It takes one to two thousand to make a zombie with makeup, and it takes three hours to complete. So how many special makeup artists do you think we need to find to make five thousand zombies at the same time? Now, do you still think this is a lot of money?
"
As soon as Du Jun heard this, his scalp began to tingle. Calculated in this way, it was indeed an astronomical figure.
"As for that? I heard that using special effects, only a few hundred people are needed to create a picture of tens of thousands of people. Why do we really need so many people?"
Du Jun really doesn't understand the cost of big events.
Chu Han just shook his head and said: "That won't work. The quality of the movie made like that won't pass the test for me. What I want is a real big scene."
Where the crew really spends their money is on special effects and big scenes.
I heard that when the Three Kingdoms TV series was being filmed ten years ago, in order to create real war scenes, the director actually hired nearly a thousand people to film the troop fights, with costumes, props and horses. Such a big scene cost nearly tens of millions.
And such big scenes appeared in more than a dozen scenes in that TV series.
This movie shot by Chu Han should surpass the TV series in terms of sophistication, so the cost will naturally go up.
Facing Chu Han's thoughts, Du Jun still didn't understand. After all, he was still a child from a poor family. He could save on some aspects if he could, but there were some things that he couldn't save. If he did, his reputation would be lost.
Chu Han has shot two high-quality movies, and he is called a high-quality director on the Internet. Once Chu Han shoots a so-so and not-so-serious movie, those who praise him on the Internet will instantly turn against Chu Han and complain that Chu Han is useless.
.
Reputation is built up slowly, but it is easy to destroy it.
Moreover, Chu Han's pursuit of film art does not allow him to be careless and casual.
In about half an hour, Du Jun's makeup test came out. He had a very natural skin color and added some concealer powder to cover up the bumps and funny spots on his face. Suddenly, he looked much more handsome. At the same time,
Anyone who looks at it will guess Du Jun's age between 25 and 30 years old.
When Chu Han saw Du Jun's appearance, he nodded, knowing that the hero had been found.
