Chapter 593: The Shaking Of The Chinese Film Circle
"The "Spider-Man" project was approved, with a huge investment of 600 million, and the screenwriter Zhang Fan..."
"The "Iron Man" project was approved, with an investment of 500 million..."
"The "Fast and Furious" project is approved..."
"The "Transformers" project was approved..."
At the end of April, the Chinese film industry shocked the whole world with news one after another. Eight blockbusters, the Chinese film industry announced a total of eight blockbusters, with a minimum investment of 500 million yuan.
The largest investment is from Longteng Entertainment. Longteng Entertainment has approved a new movie project. The investment budget for this new movie is as high as 1.5 billion yuan.
"Jurassic Park" is a script prepared by Zhang Fan for Longteng Entertainment. It goes without saying that this movie is a classic, it is definitely a classic among classics.
Especially in this era, Zhang Fan believes that Longteng Entertainment can shoot "Jurassic Park" to a higher level.
The biggest attraction of "Jurassic Park" is the various dinosaurs. With the current special effects capabilities of Longteng Group, they can be shot more realistically.
Zhang Fan did not serve as the director of this movie. Zhang Fan also wanted to take this opportunity to train an international director for Longteng Entertainment.
The news shocked not only China, but also the whole world.
This kind of investment is considered a big investment even in Hollywood. Especially the investment of 1.5 billion yuan in "Jurassic Park" is equivalent to more than 200 million US dollars. Not many companies in Hollywood dare to make such an investment.
capital.
The higher the investment, the greater the risk. Nowadays, Chinese investment companies are investing in so many blockbusters at once, which is very ambitious.
At the same time, they also discovered an even more outrageous problem, that is, the screenwriter of these blockbusters is Zhang Fan. All the scripts were written by Zhang Fan, and the screenwriters were all Zhang Fan.
Moreover, the prices of these scripts are not cheap, with the lowest one costing 50 million yuan. This price is definitely the first in China, and no one can match it.
This price is a very high price even in Hollywood. Many Hollywood companies now offer Zhang Fan a price higher than this, but Zhang Fan doesn't agree to it.
"So handsome, the rise of Chinese-language movies..."
"I hope I can do it well this time and don't waste Brother Fan's script..."
"The maximum remuneration for actors should not exceed 30% of the cost. It is good to pay attention to this..."
"The rules set by Brother Fan..."
"This is good..."
"The price is not low anymore, these investments are too big..."
"Yeah, don't ruin this movie if you don't have acting skills..."
"Haha, I'll watch some good movies later..."
"I'm so looking forward to it..."
Chinese netizens became excited. They have been looking forward to the rise of this movie. Now they finally have the opportunity. With so much investment and the script is provided by Zhang Fan, this is what they have dreamed of.
Zhang Fan's talent is obvious to all. As long as the script is written by Zhang Fan, it must be a representative of quality. Just like the Dragon Teng game, Dragon Teng's products must be high-quality.
At the same time, some media also revealed the news that Zhang Fan had specified rules. The special rule was to limit the proportion of actors' remuneration and the proportion of screenwriter's income, which was greatly appreciated by many people.
The problem of Chinese actors being overpaid has always existed. Although it has improved a lot in the past two years, actors are still paid a bit high and screenwriters have no status.
This has led to a large number of bad movies. Some works select actors who do not pay attention to acting skills, but only pay attention to fame. Some people who have no works but can hype them have sky-high salaries.
The pay for talented actors is much lower, which is putting the cart before the horse. Now, Zhang Fan's new rules have given talented actors more opportunities.
The turmoil in the film industry has caused actors in China to take action. With such a large investment, although actors' remuneration is limited, the total actor remuneration is still very high despite the large investment.
With such a high investment, when they select actors, their acting skills, fame, and international influence must all be considered. At the same time, in some scripts, foreign actors need to participate. Some scripts even have stories that take place abroad.
After all, it is unreasonable for some stories to take place in China. They are not in line with China's national conditions, such as "The Fast and the Furious". There is a lot of drag racing and modified car culture in it.
This kind of talent is completely impossible in China. Car modification in China is illegal. It is basically impossible for a very powerful modification culture to be born here.
Therefore, Zhang Fan made some changes to the script. The background of the script is still abroad, but the identity of the protagonist has changed, becoming a group of Chinese Americans.
In this way, the excitement of the story has not changed, but it fits Zhang Fan's concept very well. Of course, not all of them are Chinese, there are also foreign characters in it. But in the end, in terms of actors, it is definitely Chinese actors who will play the leading roles.
In this way, it is in line with Zhang Fan's idea of using big movies to cultivate Chinese actors and sending more Chinese actors to the international community.
The shock in the Chinese film industry also shocked Hollywood. After witnessing the power of "The Matrix", no one dared to underestimate Chinese movies.
Especially after they conducted a detailed investigation, they became even more vigilant.
Starting from "Kung Fu Panda", Chinese-language movies began to slowly rise in North America and Europe. With "The Matrix", they are even more powerful.
Now there are so many investments in blockbusters, and the screenwriter is Zhang Fan. Especially "Jurassic Park" by Longteng Entertainment, with an investment of more than 200 million US dollars, it is obvious that the ambition is very big.
Hollywood movies have been strong around the world for many years. With their excellent computer special effects, they have been making money around the world these years. But in recent years, even they themselves have found that there are fewer and fewer good movies.
More and more Hollywood film companies are keen on making quick money, improving special effects and IP. In the end, they earn a lot of money despite low ratings.
An IP can be used to shoot many series of movies over and over again. Although this method can earn a lot of box office, it also consumes the trust of fans of these IPs.
The big move in Chinese-language films has also aroused a lot of discussion in Japan and South Korea. These two countries love to compare with China. They compete in all walks of life.
Movies are naturally no exception. They compete with each other at box office, with international superstars, etc. Chinese-language films have always lagged behind before, but since Zhang Fan came to the fore, they have been hit again and again.
After summary, in the final analysis, the root of everything lies in one person. This person is Zhang Fan. If Zhang Fan can be killed, everything will be over.
Zhang Fan's talent is the hope for the rise of Chinese films, and his talent has also created unimaginable wealth for Chinese films. The influence of such a person has reached a strategic level. If such a person can be eliminated, it will be a great blow to both sides.
