The films jointly ventured by the three companies, including Cuican, Yinghuang and Huaying, are determined that the lineup of actors must be very strong without thinking.

The actors who appeared on stage were not beyond the expectations of the media. They were gathered with stars and the cast was very gorgeous.

Wan Ziliang, Zeng Baoyi and others from Baodao Yinhua Entertainment.

Di Lang, Hui Yinghong, Zou Zhaolong, An Zhijie and others from Xiangjiang Shaw Pictures.

Yuanbiao, Wu Mengda and others from Xiangjiang Yongsheng Film Company.

Zhang Yuqi, Chen Guokun, etc. of Xiangjiang Xinghui Film.

Lin Feng, Chen Weiting, Cai Zhuoyan, Zhong Xintong and others from Yinghuang Entertainment in Xiangjiang.

Chenglong Cheng’s family, Lu Huiguang and other martial arts supporting roles, supporting roles, etc., will be starring Chenglong and Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei from the Mainland’s Brilliant Times Entertainment…

This lineup is no less than Zhang Yimou's cast of "Heroes" and Chen Kaige's "The Promise".

There are two big names that have been with Chenglong and Zou Zhaolong, who are even better than Heroes and Wuji.

Such a star-studded cast also allowed the media and everyone present to see some tricks.

"The hero and female leads won the hero in the Brilliant Age, and the remaining characters should be the leader of Yinghuang Entertainment." Zhang Ziyi put her hands on her lips and whispered to Zou Xun next to her.

Zou Xun nodded: "It should be."

In the late 1990s, in order to promote in-depth exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and the three regions in terms of culture, many joint venture film and television dramas basically had the Huaying Group, and many movies also had the name of the producer Han Sanping.

As an official enterprise, Huaying Group has played a crucial role in attracting friendly cooperation between multiple parties.

Huaying Group has no agency or artists, and the country does not allow official companies to sign artists.

If it is not necessary, Huaying Group will basically not go to the artist circle during cooperation and help movies attract artists.

In the cooperation between these three companies, the recruitment of artists will naturally be borne by Brilliant Times and Yinghuang Entertainment.

Except for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, the other artists interviewed on stage were all Hong Kong and Taiwan artists.

It is obvious that the male and female protagonists return to the brilliant era, and the other characters return to Yinghuang Entertainment.

"There is still prejudice." Zhang Ziyi sighed.

"Ha." Zou Xun shook his head without comment.

Zhang Ziyi's meaning is nothing more than seeing Yinghuang Entertainment only seeking cooperation with Hong Kong and Taiwan companies, not with mainland companies, which makes them less likely to have many opportunities, so they feel that the Xiangjiang entertainment industry is biased against the mainland entertainment industry.

But the essence of things is not a matter of prejudice or non-bias, but a matter of resource aberration.

This movie "The War At the City" was revealed when you see this situation, you will know that the intention was to be released overseas.

Every character in it is precious and valuable.

If the British and Huang Entertainment cooperates with Hong Kong and Taiwan entertainment companies, they can exchange for international resources in Asia and even overseas, which is something that mainland entertainment companies do not have.

The Brilliant Times also have no overseas resources, at least she has never heard of them.

But the Brilliant Times have three great advantages: one is that it is super rich, the second is that it has the shareholder of the Xiangjiang Dadao Tang Jili, and the third is that there is Huaying Group behind it.

These three advantages are why she speculated that Yinghuang Entertainment was willing to cooperate with the joint venture film of the Brilliant Times.

Compared with the problem level that these two big stars have pondered, the thinking levels of capitalists such as Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei, who are sitting in the front row of Huayi brothers, and Wang Changtian, chairman of Light Media, are even more profound.

"The total investment is 200 million yuan. If it is released overseas, the overall promotion and distribution cost is conservatively estimated to be 100 million yuan, and the cost is 300 million yuan."

"For a cost of 300 million, overseas publishers will definitely deduct more points, even if the box office of 100 million is about to be repaid."

"This is about $150 million. Do you think a Chinese movie can do it?"

Wang Changtian hugged his hands, looked at the actors on the stage for interview, and whispered to Wang Zhongjun.

Wang Zhongjun crossed his legs, his eyes looked at the stage like Wang Changtian and Wang Zhonglei, and whispered his analysis.

"Huaying invests in it and is the only way to official support for domestic films. Just like before, even if you lose, it's nothing."

"In terms of Ying Huang, Yang Shoucheng is very smart. He does not compete for the hero and female lead and takes over the remaining roles."

"Look at the companies behind these actors, they all have overseas resources. I don't know how much Ying Huang earns, but I think even if the movie fails, Ying Huang will not lose money. I already have a lot of resources to exchange."

Hearing Wang Zhongjun's words, Wang Changtian and Wang Zhonglei nodded slightly.

They don’t know how much each company has invested, and they think it’s only tens of millions.

A large number of characters have the right to cast. If they are Yang Shoucheng, they dare to guarantee that they will earn back the cost before the filming starts.

All are capital, and interests are the most important.

By judging others by themselves, they believe that Ying Huang has recovered its costs now, and it doesn’t matter if the movie’s box office is lost. The companies that cooperate with each other have already paid and paid the investment for Ying Huang.

"From the perspective of interests, Yinghuang has already got a guarantee."

"As the official support provided by Huaying, it is not considered."

"So, the pressure is all in the bright era."

Wang Changtian summarized Wang Zhongjun's remarks, and Wang Zhongjun said softly "um" after hearing this.

Wang Zhonglei remained silent and felt confused.

At such a huge cost, we will create a science fiction blockbuster that we have never done before.

He thinks it is likely to lose money.

Wang Jinhua and Chu Xuan are not stupid. If he can think of this, the siblings will definitely think of it too.

Then, even if you can think of a high probability of losing money, why do these siblings still play like this?

He thinks that the investment funds, the energy and human resources spent on movies, and the TV series and variety shows that are already in a good way, is a sure thing.

But the siblings should not make a profit but lose money, but should make special effects movies even if they lose money.

Two years ago, the siblings came to find their brothers in order to invest in Hope, but they refused.

At that time, their brothers briefly talked that Brilliant Times wanted to open up overseas channels through "Hope", so they even lost money and started "Hope", just because the theme of "Hope" is suitable for Haolaiwu.

They can understand this somewhat.

But now "Hope" has become "Soldiers at the City", and Chu Xuan said in an interview that "Hope" is also in the process of preparation, and "Soldiers at the City" and "Hope" are both series of movies.

This makes it difficult not to think of a point that the Brilliant Times takes the route of special effects blockbusters in films, or the development plan for the direction of films that mainly focus on special effects blockbusters.

This made him very confused.

From the perspective of the domestic market and the limitations of China overseas, he understands that one or two special effects blockbusters can open up overseas channels, but if you take this route to the end, it is likely to be a dead end.

A movie loses tens of millions, two or three movies loses one or two hundred million, and you can afford to lose in the brilliant era.

But if you keep losing money, even if you have Weiyu shares as the foundation, the movies are not played like this, right? Don’t the company develop?

Wang Zhonglei really doesn't understand.

Wang Changtian looked at him and seemed to understand his entanglement, saying: "Losing does not mean that the movie will not be popular, nor does it mean that the stars will not be popular."

"That's what those companies are willing to spend money and resources to cooperate. As long as artists become famous overseas, international endorsements, announcements, commercial performances, etc., they can still make a fortune."

"Those companies make profits through artists. Even if the movie loses, they will continue to cooperate with the Brilliant Times, giving Brilliant Times a sustainable opportunity to develop special effects movies."

This is the truth, and it has been proven through years of market development.

It is obvious that some directors have lost money in the films, but there are always companies willing to cooperate with this director.

It is because if the movie loses money, it won’t be popular. If the stars are a little bit in power, the company behind it will naturally make profits through commercial means, and if they get benefits, they will choose to continue to cooperate.

However, continuing to cooperate cannot cover up Wang Zhonglei's prediction that the Brilliant Times will continue to lose money.

He also understood Wang Changtian's words, and he just nodded slightly. Obviously, Wang Changtian's words did not express the key points of his doubts.

"Fantasy special effects movies are in Haolaiwu, and the box office is second-class. The derived games, animations, TV series, toy figures, etc. are the big ones." Wang Zhongjun suddenly said.

Wang Zhonglei and Wang Changtian were stunned, and the surprise flashed in their eyes. They turned their heads and looked at Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Wang Jinhua, who were communicating not far away, and turned around and said incrediblely: "These brothers and brothers are so ambitious?"

Wang Zhongjun's words allowed Wang Zhonglei to resolve his doubts.

In his perception, even if the Brilliant Times are likely to continue to lose money in movies, the reason why they still want to create special effects films is to generate copyrights and want to make a lot of money from the derivative copyrights!

They didn't dare to think about these things, but the siblings took action to do so.

If you say that your heart is higher than the sky, do you still have to admire the courage and courage of the siblings?

Wang Zhonglei and Wang Changtian were shocked at this.

"I said it casually, too." Wang Zhongjun shook his head: "But apart from this purpose, I can't think of any reason that will make the Brilliant Times take the route of special effects films. Of course, Brilliant Times has the capital to take this route. At least the billions that Weiyu shares can cash out have been enough for them to spend for many years."

Wang Changtian and Wang Zhonglei looked at each other, smiled bitterly and shook their heads.

Weiyu shares owned by Brilliant Times are indeed a killer weapon, which makes many companies in the industry have no idea of ​​competing with it.

The competition with the Brilliant Times won, and the financial foundation that Brilliant Times has won not be much hit.

But if you lose, you will be hurt and a smaller company will be disabled.

This situation of capital asymmetry is one of the reasons why TV dramas in the brilliant era have been going smoothly in recent years.

"If the siblings really look like what I said, I want to open up all channels for derivative copyrights, but I won't mention it if I fail."

"But if there are signs of success..."
