It was obvious that the big boss who had returned from overseas was very interested in the movie at the beginning and showed enough favor.
But when Brother Hai really needed help, she backed down?
Is it really easy to add icing on the cake, but difficult to provide help in times of need?
No one wants to take over?
With complete frustration, Brother Hai could only quickly change his target and send invitations to other investors, hoping that they would make additional investments.
However, the progress of the incident is not as easy as imagined, and additional investment is not impossible. Many companies are interested in participating.
However, the key reason that prevents them from taking immediate action is only the issue of future profits.
Although several co-investors can add some additional investment, it is precisely because the film is about to be completed that this matter is difficult to do.
During the intensive filming of "Monster's Orphans", the main investment company spent a lot of money, and the shares among the several companies were uneven.
It can be said that the largest investment comes from the main investment company, which accounts for about 70%.
Now, even if the follow-up funds cannot keep up, if the United Company joins the investment, even if it helps Brother Hai solve the problem and tide over the difficulties, their share will not exceed that of the main investment company.
You have to know that the main investment company has only broken its capital chain and has not yet declared bankruptcy. The money already invested cannot be recovered. Similarly, the predetermined shares will not change.
This means that once Monteggia's Orphans is released as usual, the main investment company will still account for the majority of the box office revenue, and maybe it will come back to life!
It is said that saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, but few people in the shopping mall have such kind intentions.
Not to mention adding insult to injury, but everyone hopes that the other party will fall as soon as possible!
The current situation of the Meng's Orphans is here. On the one hand, if you want to finish filming the movie and release it normally, you need additional investment.
It's useless to ask Brother Hai about this matter.
This is simply not something he can be responsible for. In fact, these small investors in the alliance are also very anxious.
Although their investment is small, it is obvious that they can make money only when the movie is released.
If we don’t invest more now, it may seem like we’re saving money. However, if the movie isn’t released for a day, the previous investment won’t be recouped.
If you delay for a long time, won’t you still lose money?
However, when several companies join forces to support this main investment company and wipe its ass, no one is willing to do so willingly.
This is tantamount to cutting meat to feed tigers.
Therefore, although Brother Hai worked hard, the investment was not received so quickly. As a result, the suspension of filming of Meng's Orphans was not only hidden from the crew, but also the entire Xiangshan Film and Television Base.
Spread around.
After all, this place has just been built, and the only crew coming to shoot is the Meng's orphan family. As time goes by, the staff will naturally be able to tell.
What should we do now?
Soon, this matter will be published in the newspapers. Although it will not affect the movie as a whole, these scandals are certainly not friendly to the movie.
Even before the filming was completed, it was said to cost a lot of money and bring down a company, which inevitably makes this movie somewhat unlucky.
Although modern people should not be superstitious, in the film industry, there are quite a few people who pay attention to these things.
The reason behind this is that the investment in movies is getting bigger and bigger, and the pressure on the shoulders of investors is getting heavier and heavier.
If the production budget of a movie is only a few million, and all aspects can be saved as much as possible, then I believe that the movie company bosses who collapsed because of the movie will disappear.
Since the investment in movies can easily reach tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars, it is no wonder that bosses have to be more particular.
For those movies that have been full of twists and turns since the beginning of production, and even reported financial difficulties, or even brought down a company, no matter how big the hype is in the early stage of production, and how good the description is, when it is actually released, the box office will not be very good.
This is truly a heartbreaking metaphysics.
This is not a deliberate exaggeration, or a lie made up to avoid paying, this is a real fact.
This happened to more than just one movie. Isn't the Marie Claire movie that almost bankrupted Fox the same as the current "Monster Orphans"?
They are all said to be epic masterpieces, absolute blockbusters, with real superstars gathered. Not only the stories, but also the costumes and scenery are almost the best.
With such gorgeous characters and magnificent momentum, Brother Hai is no match for today's Meng's orphan.
For such a masterpiece of ingenuity, once the investment got out of control, it almost brought down an established film company. Although Fox Company probably relieved the situation in the end, for such a blockbuster with high hopes, the bosses of the film company
Just counting on your fingers, no matter from which angle you look at it, it should be a big hit, but the result is a huge loss.
So, you, the Meng's orphan, have now brought down a company, and you still want to find your brothers to take over. Without enough sincerity and strength, everyone will of course hesitate to move forward.
The last movie was spoofed by the whole country and made the scene very ugly. This time, Brother Hai is working hard to make a good comeback.
But what is happening now?
Could it be that we really have to fail at the beginning?
no!
We must find a way!
There is nothing that I believe cannot be done!
Even if it shouldn't be done, I will make it happen!
…………
Taking photos, taking photos, and walking on the red carpet are all things that Wu Di is already familiar with. Compared to Xiao Qi, he is in much better condition.
As for Xiao Qi, although he was hyped up before, when it came time to actually perform, the effect was exactly the same as Wu Di imagined.
Being able to remain calm is already extraordinary. In many interviews, even if it was a professional question, he did not answer it very neatly.
In short, I am unable to express my intentions clearly so that the other party can understand.
As for banquets and entertainment, it's even scarier. As you know, Xiao Qi is an introverted and sensitive person by nature. He can usually cope with getting along with friends and crew members, but when it comes to social occasions and there are too many people, he can't do it in an instant.
Wu Di was completely prepared for his state.
If he is some kind of Sheniu brother, how come he has such a good script in his hands and still cannot find investors?
You know, Maze is a very good script, rarely seen on the market now, and besides, Xiao Qi is not Brother Hai.
His appetite is not that big. A few million is enough to satisfy him. At least he can start the movie first.
Of course, with the sponsorship of Ranmasanti, the investment in the movie Labyrinth has actually reached tens of millions.
Although only a small edge was glued on, it was different from the pitiful appearance before.
The painting style is still rough and rustic, but a lot of improvements have been made in many details.
The finished film turned out much better than initially expected.
It can be said that Maze's ability to get nominated is inseparable from this funding. If it had been shot according to the way it was shot at the beginning, those judges with cunning and vicious eyes might not like it.
Because it's really too plain.
However, with this investment, the quality of the entire movie suddenly improved, turning it into a movie with a simple story core but a good appearance.
After the finished product came out, Wu Di was also deeply encouraged. According to this attitude, once it comes back from winning an award and is released in theaters, it will probably not be so unpopular.
At least, if the marketing is done properly, there is no problem in making money back.
Such a good film, if it hadn't been for Wu Di, I'm afraid it would have continued to be kept at the bottom of the box, and it wouldn't be because Xiao Qi is not good at socializing.
Can’t get better investors?
It wasn't possible at the beginning, but now in a crowded place like this, is it possible?
Of course we shouldn't have such unrealistic illusions. Fortunately, Wu Di is here and with him taking care of us, Xiao Qi doesn't need to worry about socializing.
It would be quite embarrassing if it was self-defeating.
No, in the banquet hall full of guests, Wu Di raised his glass and participated with a smile. The common language at the wine table was naturally English.
With the help of the system, these are naturally no problem. Even Xiao Qi was shocked again and again. Boss Wu can do it.
Not only is he fluent in English, but he can also speak a few words in French.
How did he know that this was the result of Wu Di restraining himself? If he turned it up, everyone at the table would be knocked down by him.
Now he is not only proficient in English and French, but also Italian and Spanish.
What’s even more surprising is that the director’s gift package actually came in handy.
Although everyone is in a state of socializing and talking about business, there is still a difference even if they are all polite words.
They all work in the movies, and they talk about professional topics, but Wu Di is obviously a monk by the way.
Many directors have never heard of his name at all, let alone Boss Wu, even Xiao Qi has no sense of existence in their eyes.
There is no way, this is the reality. Even though Labyrinth had its premiere last night, the on-site scores given by the judges were very good.
The response was good, but once we got out of the viewing scene and returned to reality, the judges were not so enthusiastic about Xiao Qi.
What's even more sad is that there is no veteran present who can give Xiao Qi any support. This time, there is no Chinese in the judging panel.
This is very disadvantageous. It’s like this. At every awards ceremony, there are always many new people emerging, whether they are directors or actors. Even if these people have submitted very outstanding works, they will be very successful in the international film circle.
It is also nameless.
At this time, we need the guidance of some seniors to get them acquainted with fellow great directors and famous producers.
With the respect of the seniors there, even if the other party doesn't know the newcomer at all, he will always give him a bit of a thumbs-up.
Doesn’t this topic open up?
This time it was good. When they arrived in Shuicheng, Wu Di and Xiao Qi were shocked to find that in the entire internal entertainment team, the two brothers were considered senior.
Xiao Qi will put it aside for now. Wu Di has already had several important works and is now popular. The crew of the other short film are basically no different from amateurs.
Originally, this type of film received less attention, and generally speaking, stars could not be found to star in it. From the director to the front-stage performers, most of them were newcomers. Not only that, compared to feature films, short films
It is also a relatively marginalized award at film festivals.
Even film festivals also set up this award. There is no distinction between high and low among the awards, they are all equal.
All winning films will receive a golden trophy, at least for films that enter the main competition.
However, having said that, the gold content of different awards is still very different. Every year, the ones that people pay attention to and can be nominated for are still those feature films.
Short films obviously win awards every year, but anyone who can name one of them can be considered a movie lover.
It can even be said to be a fanatic type.
This is true for short films, let alone the films shortlisted for the secondary unit. These films come to the film festival mainly to find a sense of presence.
At the same time, it is very important to enrich your resume, especially for directors, it is important to have a resume that is shortlisted for the top three.
Do you think there are really that many famous directors who emerge from nowhere?
After all, there are only a very small number of such geniuses from heaven. More directors, even in the three most professional film festivals, are working hard to climb up step by step.
The vast majority of directors who win the grand prize in the main competition are usually in their thirties or forties. This is the peak period of creation, when inspiration and experience have reached their peak, and it is easy to produce high-quality works.
In addition, the director's personal resume at film festivals is almost complete, ranging from sub-units to minor awards.
When it comes to being shortlisted for the main competition, finally, nominations have been made, and awards have been given. If one simply relies on resume to enter the three majors, a director needs at least three or more masterpieces.
So, by calculation, it will take about ten years to officially achieve success in the three majors.
So, when Xiao Qi and Wu Di came to the three major sites, they suddenly discovered that not only were there no seniors who could lead them, but they themselves had become seniors.
Those who make short films are even more unsociable than Xiao Qi. If things develop at this pace, I am afraid that this grand event will become a lively event, but in the end it will not make any splash in the country.
There is no way to create a hot spot.
You have worked so hard to win awards, but you are unable to raise your status in the country and gain recognition from the industry. Isn’t this all your hard work in vain?
You have to know that winners of feature films will naturally receive more attention. Sometimes, as long as a film wins an award, their peers will naturally surround them and praise them without them having to work hard to promote it.
Praise.
Take the initiative to provide them with resources.
There is no way, who would let the circle just do this!
As long as there is a market, there will be people who will support it. However, in comparison, the winners of short film awards are in a much worse situation.
It can’t even be said to be averagely bad. The treatment of winners of many short film awards is not even as good as that of award winners of lower-level categories.
