Emperor Superstar Cultivation System
Chapter 460: Schedule War
September, Teacher's Day.
There are still three months until December, but editing, post-production, special effects, dubbing and soundtrack, all must be done within these four months.
Lin Xiao was pleasantly surprised that the special effects company contacted by Time Warner was actually the famous "Lucas Legion" Industrial Light & Magic.
Of course, the asking price of the other party is also famous. A total of 10 minutes of special effects and millions of dollars in investment made Wanda Minister Zhang Yongliang hold the bill for a long time without closing his mouth.
"Lin, Director Lin, do you really need to invest so much in special effects?" He felt extremely uneasy. This kind of real CG is rarely used in domestic movies, and Painted Skin can be said to be the most invested in computer special effects movies.
Millions of U.S. dollars can be converted into over [-] million RMB.Originally, this money was an additional payment from Time Warner, but now it has fallen to Wanda.
It's not that Wanda can't afford the money. One hundred million is nothing to Wanda, but what they fear is that they won't be able to recover the cost.
"Counting the investment of the crew, it's approaching [-] million." Even Zhang Yongliang, who is used to big money, feels terrified.
"Minister Zhang, you have said this sentence countless times." Lin Xiao smiled and said, "However, this film is released worldwide. Generally speaking, the global box office is usually about one and a half times that of the domestic box office. There is no problem."
Zhang Yongliang gritted his teeth for a long time, and finally put the list aside with a headache.
After sending a copy of the film to the United States in person, Lin Xiao entered the busiest time period.
Editing is actually more difficult than shooting. A scene has to be considered thousands of times. Which lens to use, which angle to use, and even whether to use this scene or use other people as a foil, all require careful consideration.
Time entered October in this atmosphere.
This National Day, ushered in a great news.
The largest theater chain in Korea, the only listed theater chain CGV in the world, the second largest theater chain Lotte, Yongle, has decided to show Huapi in the Lunar New Year file!
And Japan's Toei, Toho, and projectors also decided to show it in the Lunar New Year file!
Most importantly, these two companies all decided to put in the first wave, which is the main screening!
This is an affirmation from the other two economically powerful countries among the three major Asian countries!
However, Lin Xiao was not happy about it.
"What? Are you in a bad mood?" Qin Xin looked at Lin Xiao, who was always on the ground, and asked worriedly, "This is good news. It shows that the film organizations of the two countries have a very high regard for Painted Skin. If the film is not good, it is impossible to get this position. As far as I know, this is the first time for a domestic film, right?"
Lin Xiao shook his head and continued to look at the information in his hand.
For the first time, it was indeed an affirmation, but it represented a bloodier fight.
The first is the Japanese box office, which is a very amazing country, because their 2D industry and derivatives are ranked second in the world, and no one dares to say that they are number one.
This has led to the fact that the Japanese box office is often dominated by cartoons, and it is not = animation, it is 2D animation!
This is probably the only one in the world!
If he remembers correctly, Huapi is going to face the global game giant Nintendo's blockbuster masterpiece, which saved Nintendo from the fire and water. The nuclear weapon that carried the tripod - Pokemon. Seven Nights Wishing Star!
In a country dominated by 2D, don't look at this as just a 2D movie, but their propaganda methods are unmatched by anyone.
Because of this movie, those who watch it will have the opportunity to get the exclusive Pokémon spirit. For Japan, where pocket games are played all over the country, it is undoubtedly that just a few words can set off a frenzy!
In addition, the childhood memories of countless people, Doraemon theatrical version, The Messenger of the Wind will also be released at the same time.
No matter which one, it is an absolute killer!
Not to mention the debut of the "King of Terror" The Grudge 2, the second part of the battle royale that was rated as a five-star script.
The Japanese market will probably be the most difficult battle in history!
And the Korean market, a supermarket that will surpass the Japanese market in the future, even has the release of the classic masterpiece "Old Boy".There is also Silmido, the assistant of Memories of Murder.It's also a tough nut to crack.
Can Huapi be affirmed in these two markets?Everything must not see the results after two months!
November.
Every crew entered the final sprint.And the special effects of Industrial Light and Magic have also been sent back.At the beginning of the month, Huapi completed all the work.
Only at this point can a film be truly completed.
"Send it to overseas theaters immediately!" Lin Xiao ordered without hesitation, and he wanted to allow the most translation time for the other party.
……
Japan, Yurakucho, Chiyoda District, Tokyo [-]-chome [-]nd.
A magnificent building stands here, full of people.
Everyone knows that this building houses the headquarters of Toho Co., Ltd., Japan's largest film and television group.
This subsidiary of Hankyu Hanshin Holdings Group, established in 1932, started with a Tokyo Takarazuka cinema line, and is now one of the largest film and television companies in Japan.
In a quiet room, a super-large screen was lighting up the picture of the painted skin, and the place was completely dark.
"How?" After an hour and a half, the lights came on, and it was only then that four people were clearly seen sitting in the room, three men and one woman.
The person who asked the question was an old man sitting in the first seat.
After a moment of silence, the woman said, "It's very good, I know why Kato-kun you let them play the first round."
"It's hard to imagine that this is a film made in China, and the plot connection is very powerful."
"The special effects should not be done in Asia. It's a typical American style. It looks like it cost a lot of money."
"This film will become one of the main hits at the end of the year." The old man thought for a while, then tapped his fingers on the table and said, "This film is a work of genius. Although the director's technique is still very immature, have you noticed that The director, screenwriter, and lead actor are all the same person."
"Trinity?!" A man said in shock, "I think the leading actor is only in his 20s, yet he can make such a film?!"
The old man laughed, "What does the first round mean? With Grudge 2, Battle Royale 2, or the collision of Pokemon, which one is not a national-level movie? I dare to let them go to the first round. confidence."
"Especially at the beginning of it, it actually used this method to evoke everyone's memory and remind everyone of the story of Huapi... It's really ingenious..." He closed his eyes and pondered for a while, "Contact the Lixiao company in China and pay close attention to it. Regarding the schedule, I have a hunch that the end of this year may not be peaceful."
In China, a month in advance, a brutal propaganda campaign has already begun.
At the entrance of every movie theater, Zhang Guoli, Fan Binbin from mobile phones, Jin Chengwu from Flying Daggers, Andy Lau, Wu Yanzu, Painted Lin Xiao, Zhao Wei, Zhou Xun, Wuji's Xie Tingfeng and Zhang Bozhi, their large posters are the four most eye-catching at the end of this year Landscape.
Each crew is conducting a national press conference.
On the Internet, it has long been fired.
This is no longer 01, but 03. In the past two years, China's network has spread rapidly, and users have shown a blowout trend. It is no longer the million people in 01.
Lin Xiao sat in front of the computer, and now he was free, watching the various speculations about the three films.
"Director Feng's blockbuster movie, mobile phone. Didn't use Ge You?! I predicted that this movie would fail! I'm going for Ge You!"
"Director Zhang Da is getting worse and worse now. He actually started to play the card of star effect. There are a lot of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists. I saw Zhang Ziyi in mainland China. He has fallen to the point where he needs to rely on Hong Kong and Taiwan artists to boost his popularity. ?"
"Don't talk nonsense upstairs. I believe in Director Feng's movies. Just watch Director Lin's movies. Director Zhang should have learned from last year's lessons this year."
"Yeah, is there anything else to watch at the end of the year?"
And so on, Lin Xiao looked at it, and suddenly felt that something was missing.
The same big killer for movie promotion.
"It will be 04 soon, it looks like it's time to show up..." he murmured.
This is just one of the sites, and on his official homepage, many of his fans have made the entire page red.
"Eleventh Lang's first self-written, directed and acted blockbuster movie is about to be released, everyone hurry up to join us!"
"This year, I'm just waiting for this drama, who made me a loyal fan of Eleven Lang."
"Don't be disappointed."
"As you said upstairs, when has Eleven Lang let us down?"
Lin Xiao thought for a while, and typed out a line of words, "Painted Skin, I will never let you down!"
After posting, he logged off the account.
The time soon came to December.
The major film and television magazines have completely used these big dramas at the end of the year as their covers, and I will appear on the stage after you sing.And the publicity is at the last moment.
This is no longer 02. Lin Xiao didn't use other methods. After all, it's better for things like navy to appear as late as possible. The quality of the film is what filmmakers should pay attention to.
December [-]st.
An unexpected person found Lin Xiao.
Feng Xiaogang.
"There is still a week, and we will see the outcome soon." The two were in Lin Xiao's own house, Feng Xiaogang held a teacup, and murmured, "Although our relationship is here, at this juncture, it is impossible for me to accept it." hand."
"I am also very confident about the mobile phone film."
"Then why are you still looking for me?" Lin Xiao smiled.
"I don't want to argue with you." Feng Xiaogang also laughed. "Don't forget that I have read the script of Huapi. As long as you direct well, this movie can move a large number of people just by its plot."
"But this year, it's even more different." He leaned forward and looked into Lin Xiao's eyes. "I swear, what I'm saying now is absolutely from my heart. If I lied to you, I, Feng Xiaogang, would be hit by a car and killed when I went out."
Lin Xiao's face also turned serious. It seemed that what Feng Xiaogang was going to say now definitely had a lot to do with it.
"This year, not only me, you, but also Zhang Yimou, and even director Chen Da of Farewell My Concubine joined in."
Lin Xiao nodded, perhaps because there are no thieves in the world, the heroes stealing money is too conspicuous, and the "steamed bun murder" Wuji, which should have appeared a year later, also appeared this year.
The return of a butterfly causes an unpredictable storm.
There are still three months until December, but editing, post-production, special effects, dubbing and soundtrack, all must be done within these four months.
Lin Xiao was pleasantly surprised that the special effects company contacted by Time Warner was actually the famous "Lucas Legion" Industrial Light & Magic.
