Although I have finished filming a movie, when I encounter a good script, it still makes people feel like being pumped and full of action. As a director, Xu Weizhou immediately contacted the filming team of his company and started officially
Assemble a crew and submit an application letter for the filming of "Steel" to the State Administration of Culture, Radio and Television.
Even though it hasn't passed the review yet, the experienced Xu Weizhou has already started contacting the shipyard, and in accordance with Han Sen's requirements, he will restore the ship to a 1:1 look as it did a century ago.
But shipbuilding requires a lot of money. Han Sen once estimated it to be one or two billion, but that was just a model. In fact, the cost of building a huge cruise ship is far more than one or two billion. It's hard to say.
More than one billion.
Even for the appearance, if the same materials were used as the Steel prototype, the cost would have to be doubled.
However, the crew of "Steel" currently does not have that much money at all. Even if Han Sen spent all his wealth, it would not be enough to build a large ship model.
But Xu Weizhou's team is not in a hurry.
The funds required to make a movie are never something that one person should bear. Each movie has several or dozens of investors. Such a move can disperse the pressure and risks of investors to the greatest extent.
The filming team of "Iron Man" has such a luxurious lineup of directors and actors. Even without the script, it can attract countless people to join in with their checks, so in the early stage, Xu Weizhou never worried about funding issues.
On the one hand, the cast and crew are awesome, and on the other hand, Xu Weizhou believes in producer Tan Gaohan's ability and connections.
As the producer of "Steel Number", Tan Gaohan is a perfect fit. He has a wide circle of friends and strong connections in the industry. Even though he is despised as a "house slave with three surnames", he is still able to deal with the five major companies with ease.
.
Therefore, when the crew was officially established, Tan Gaohan started to operate as a producer. First, he spread various news about the "Steel Number" crew in the investment circle. Many people saw the great director Xu Weizhou and Han
The names Sen and Tang Wu made my heart beat almost instantly.
However, when many people heard that this movie would cost at least 500 million to shoot, it was like a wake-up call and they were poured cold water on them, completely waking up.
The investment cost of 500 million will require at least 14.5 billion in box office to make back the original investment, but this is just a return on investment. If you want to make a real profit, this number will need to be doubled.
Throwing in tens or even hundreds of millions of banknotes, if in the end, only a few million or even tens of millions of profits are made, people's interest in investing will definitely be greatly reduced.
Therefore, although many people are optimistic about this movie, the huge investment cost and the somewhat unattractive rate of return make it prohibitive.
But Tan Gaohan didn't worry too much about this. Instead, he set up an advertising company called "Ether" and started selling patch ads.
The so-called pre-roll advertising is generally divided into two categories: explicit and implicit advertising. Explicit advertising is mainly based on pre-roll advertisements in movies, while implicit advertising is mainly based on product placement in movies.
After Tan Gaohan released the news, more than a dozen companies soon came to negotiate, including some big-name jewelry, clothing and daily necessities giant brands.
However, the content of "Steel Horn" must ultimately be consistent with history. Therefore, some emerging giant brands will be excluded first. Only those brands with a century-old history can be included in the "Steel Horn" movie. Of course, in addition to
In addition to product placement, there are also quotas for in-film advertising. The so-called in-film advertising is disseminated domestically or overseas through CDs, VCDs, DVDs and other media or packaged posters.
China entered the Internet digital age earlier. Media such as CDs have long existed in name only and are only used for collection and viewing. Even promotional media such as posters do not have much market value.
However, in some developing countries abroad, media such as CDs or packaging posters are still very popular. This is definitely a good advertising display for some brands that want to enter the international market.
After more than a dozen brands signed advertising contracts with Tan Gaohan, the movie "Steel", even if it has not officially entered the promotion stage, has already become famous in the industry. Countless people have invested five dollars in this movie.
Billion's super movie expresses concern.
Just when Tan Gaohan and others were preparing "Steel Number"...
capital of poland, painted sand
Han Sen's 19th concert will be held here soon.
However, it was different from the thunderous cheers wherever Han Sen performed at his previous concerts.
In Warsaw, tickets for Han Sen's concert seemed to be sold out in an instant, but Han Sen's popularity did not seem to reach here, and people did not express much welcome to Han Sen's arrival.
Even when Han Sen and his group landed in Warsaw, the organizer only sent two or three staff members to lead the way, and the total number of fans and friends was only a dozen.
This surprised Wang Kangcheng and others who received extremely high treatment in Siam and other places.
After checking into the hotel, Wang Kangcheng came over with a worried look on his face and said, "Brother Sen, something is not right..."
Hearing these words, Han Sen raised his head and stared at Wang Kangcheng.
Everyone else also looked over.
Dance teacher Zou Mingdi muttered: "When I first entered the room, I felt the waiter's unkind eyes. It seems that we Chinese people are not welcome here."
"Yes, you are not welcome." Wang Kangcheng nodded solemnly: "In the second half of last year, Russia and Ukraine started a war. Everyone thought it was a blitzkrieg. After all, the strength of the two countries was too disparate, but they did not expect that it would become a protracted war."
"Some people think that Russia is nothing more than that, with both sides losing and losing, but we can see that this protracted battle has greatly increased the value of Russia's currency. In the past, one hundred thousand rubles could buy a house outside Moscow, but
Now, one hundred thousand rubles can even buy a nice house in the city center."
"This appreciation rate is too exaggerated. Because Russia has a finger on the pulse of natural gas and other energy sources, it can be said that it made a lot of money in this battle..."
Lou Caifeng couldn't help but said: "Let's get to the point."
Wang Kangcheng coughed: "When the two countries are fighting, it is the people who cry. The people of Ukraine were displaced in this protracted war. Thousands of Ukrainians crossed the border and came to Poland."
"Poland has nothing to do with Russia, so naturally it shares the same hatred with the Ukrainian people and hates Russia..."
Now even Zhao Jingyun couldn't help it anymore and said: "Let's get to the point!"
Wang Kangcheng sped up his speech: "The President of Ukraine asked the world for help for the sake of the people. At first, all countries donated money and materials. Our country even donated countless amounts of food to Ukraine. However, the President of Ukraine was not satisfied with this. Before
Soon, the Ukrainian president even threatened other countries to express support for Ukraine. Our country never interferes in the internal affairs of other countries, so naturally we disagree with this. Because of this, the Ukrainian president verbally criticized China, which also caused the Ukrainian people to lose all goodwill towards China..."
"Silence is also the original sin!" Zou Ming clicked his tongue.
"Poland stands with Ukraine. Naturally, we do not express support for Ukraine. Naturally, the other side thinks that we support Russia. Therefore, under the malicious misinterpretation reports of relevant media, Poland as a whole does not have much favorable impression of China. We are Chinese.
If you hold a world tour concert here, you will naturally not receive the courtesy you deserve..."
"I'm really speechless!"
Lou Caifeng shook his head and said: "Not all weak people deserve sympathy. Brother Kui Sen even composed a song "One Day" for this purpose. They really don't deserve this song..."
Han Sen was speechless after hearing the cause and effect.
But he is just an artist, and he believes that he cannot influence this kind of international public opinion and general trend, so he can only prepare silently and leave immediately after performing this Warsaw concert.
…
On the other side, the Warsaw Conservatoire.
A young man with brown hair stood in front of the school notice board, facing the huge crowd in front of him, opened his arms and shouted angrily:
"Tomorrow, Chinese singer Han Sen will perform at the Warsaw International Stadium. Dear compatriots, dear Ukrainian friends, we must give this Chinese singer a kick and let the world know that we Poles
Attitude, Poland and Ukraine are together!”
“Poland and Ukraine together!”
As the brown-haired boy shouted loudly, all the music university students in front of the bulletin board responded loudly.
Even this brown-haired guy directed everyone's anger to the person in charge of the Warsaw International Stadium
"Charles, the person in charge of the Huaxia International Stadium, allowed Chinese singers to hold a concert in Warsaw without informing us. This is a huge shame! Scholars can be killed, not humiliated! You know, Russia has always been...
China follows suit, and the two countries are simply working together, like a den of snakes and rats! Now, Chinese singers come to Warsaw to hold a concert, which is a provocation to our people of Warsaw and the people of Ukraine!"
The brown-haired guy yelled angrily: "Dear compatriots, we can't forget the massacre and trampling of us by Russia in the past. Every year we pay tribute to the Polish ancestors who died in the Russian war, and as a socialist country
In the future, China will surely be like Russia in the past, tearing off the mask of hypocrisy and implementing hegemonism. At that time, the disasters of the past will repeat themselves, and all liberal and democratic countries around the world will be oppressed. Our ancestors created for us
The beautiful world will no longer exist..."
This is a typical Chinese threat theory, which has been circulating since China's economic strength continued to rise and climb a hundred years ago.
But the fact is that, a hundred years later, China still does not pose a threat to the world, but has made huge contributions to the world.
Back then, as the world's largest economic and trade market, even though it was clear that China was growing, the greed of capital was endless, and European and American powers still wanted to gain huge wealth in this huge market.
As China's foreign economic and trade policies become more and more open, the capitalist countries led by the United States are even more unable to restrain their greed, and have come across the ocean to invest large sums of money in building factories.
Compared with the increasingly high manufacturing costs in their respective countries, China's cheap labor force made countries such as the United States unable to control their greed and began to relocate their manufacturing industries.
Capital is driven by profit, and this choice is understandable.
And the wealth they gained from it also increased exponentially, and they once made a lot of money.
In this process, through constant imitation and learning, the socialist system with Chinese characteristics began to exert its superiority. While the manufacturing industry continued to grow, a complete industrial chain began to take shape, which became the basis for China's future development. The foundation for growing stronger and becoming the world's most powerful country.
With a complete industrial chain, China can realize the fourth industrial revolution and compete with developed countries around the world and become the leader in subsequent breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, biotechnology, quantum information technology, graphene and other technologies.
Since the rise of China a hundred years ago, our predecessors have been very clear: a complete industrial chain is the foundation for a country to rise rapidly!
With a complete industrial chain, even after a brutal war, we can recover in the shortest time and have the ability to continue fighting again.
"I hate Chinese people, I hate Chinese singers, and I can't let this concert go on!"
"Go and protest, fellow geniuses, and ask the Warsaw International Stadium to cancel this show!"
"Our music in Warsaw attracts worldwide attention. Our pianists are very famous in history. How can we tolerate the invasion of foreign culture..."
"Why would you take the initiative to invite a Chinese singer to perform? Behind China's hypocrisy is a bloodthirsty sickle!"
"We have a traitor in our midst!"
At this moment, countless students were furious and even more and more agitated.
When emotions were ignited at a certain moment, soon, under the leadership of the brown-haired young man, hundreds of Warsaw students and many Ukrainian youths began to go to the Warsaw International Music Stadium and protest loudly in front of the door.
After receiving the news, the media rushed over to interview these indignant music university students.
"We don't want our sacred Warsaw to be tarnished by Chinese songs."
"We are not extremists, we are patriots. We have good intentions and sincerely wish the people of Poland and Ukraine better and better, but we cannot compromise with the bottom line because of interests!"
"Once, the moment Russian artillery bombarded Warsaw, the seed of disgust for socialism was planted in my heart!"
"Socialism is an evil system, let Chinese singers get out of Poland!"
…
Inside the stadium, the manager, Charles, noticed the protest team on the square outside the stadium, and his face was very ugly.
"It has been very low-key and careful. There has been no publicity and no notification to any media, but the news has still spread. So many young people have gathered around, and the number is getting larger and larger. It will definitely affect tomorrow's performance. What should I do now?"
