Chapter 372 Resentment from Lu Chuan +1 (Please subscribe for the third update! Please ask for a monthly pass!)

"Did you hear me right, he said 3D movies?"

"I'm going, Tang An actually wants to make a 3D movie, this is the first 3D movie in China!"

"When I was watching "Avatar" before, I thought that our domestic directors would make a 3D movie sometime. I didn't expect that Tang An would make a 3D movie this time."

"As expected of Tang An, I am looking forward to this movie more and more!"

"The first domestic 3D movie, I'm so excited just thinking about it!"

3D movies existed as early as the last century, and Hollywood 3D blockbusters were released in China a few years ago, but people still call "Avatar" the first 3D blockbuster.

The ultimate audio-visual enjoyment and incomparably real senses left all the audience completely stunned.

At this time, "Avatar" is like someone else's child, and our domestic audiences are thinking about a domestic 3D movie at any time.

But something so grand made the audience instinctively distrust these domestic directors and producers.

Like these reporters, some industry insiders at the scene did not quite believe it.

They are not stupid, 3D movies are so popular, how can they not want to shoot 3D, they have already consulted special effects companies in China, South Korea and even Hollywood, but the answers they got were not satisfactory to them.

Needless to say, the first-class special effects team in Hollywood, the amount alone is enough to scare them away, not to mention that it takes a year or two.

The cycle of domestic films is generally one year. If it is longer, the profit is not as high as that of a house, and the risk is great.

Domestic cheap is cheap, but there is still a gap in technology.

"With a huge investment of [-] million yuan, Tang An must be a little too courageous."

"Next year's Lunar New Year will be so fierce, I don't know if the box office will reach [-] million."

"Tang An is young, and with the success of six consecutive films, it is normal to be impulsive, but Yu Dong, Wang Dong and Qin Dong are also investing, which is too irrational."

"With a cost of 4 million yuan, the domestic box office can't even recover half of the cost. Is it aimed at overseas markets?"

"That's really naive. It's no surprise that there are so many sci-fi blockbusters about mechs in Hollywood."

"If you really want to target overseas markets, then you should also invite Cheng Long or Li Lianlian."

"In my opinion, this Tang Dong is young and energetic, and he was dazzled by success. He originally thought that this Han and Tang Dynasty would become another big power in the country. Now look at it, by this time next year, he will probably go bankrupt. Now, when the time comes, I will obediently work for a big company."

"That's right, you're young after all. It's good to have ambition, but you can't aim too high."

Colleagues in various companies don't quite trust Tang An. Seeing that Tang An, who has been prosperous for several years, finally did something stupid, he couldn't help but blah blah in private as a senior.
Of course, it was just gloating in private, no one would satirize Tang An directly.

Seeing the audience's reaction, Tang An nodded in satisfaction. This first domestic 3D movie is definitely an excellent gimmick, at least it can maintain its popularity for a long time.

The discussion didn't last long, and the reporters who reacted once again started asking questions in a swarm.

"Director Tang, is the 4 million investment just for shooting 3D? Can the current domestic technology support a high-level 3D movie?"

"Of course, most of the cost of the film "Edge of Tomorrow" will be spent on the production of the film. The actors' remuneration is only a few million. With such a high production cost, coupled with the top domestic special effects team, the film produced The audience will definitely not be disappointed." Tang An said confidently.

The actor's salary is only a few million?
The reporters froze again.

Investing in a movie with 4 million yuan, the actor's salary is only a few million!
These domestic blockbusters don't spend half or more of the cost on the actors, but the actors in Tang An's movie are only paid a few million.

But it's right to think about it carefully. The two protagonists Liu Ye and Tang Yan add up to 300 million. If the other supporting roles have fewer roles, they basically don't need much money.

"Director Tang, why didn't you find a superstar with box office appeal for this movie?"

A reporter immediately asked, but he realized that he was an asshole as soon as he said it.

Directed by Tang An, the box office appeal is higher than any star.

Sure enough, Tang An smiled slightly, "I think the movies I've made for so many years have a good reputation and some achievements. My name should have some appeal."

Originally thought that Tang An would say that he had no money to hire big stars in order to spend all his money on production, but he didn't expect him to be so immodest.

But Tang An is qualified to say this, and no one can refute it.

Those who are capable are called pretending, and those who are incapable are called coins.

But some people were upset when they saw Tang Qiangjian, and immediately someone asked back.

"Does Director Tang think the domestic box office will be able to recover its capital?"

"No."

"Then how did this movie make a profit, or is the 4 million yuan cost actually a false report?" The reporter asked maliciously.

"of course not!"

Tang An flatly denied it.

The reporters are also waiting for Tang An's answer. Without Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, it is basically impossible to sell at a good price overseas, and even in Southeast Asia, few people will buy it.

"Actually, overseas filmmakers have already wanted to purchase the copyright of this film, and the specific matters are under discussion."

"Can you tell me the exact amount?"

"This has not been determined yet, and we will tell everyone after a decision is made."

Although Tang Anna prevaricates the reporter, apparently not many people believe how much overseas copyrights can be sold for.

Generally, if overseas copyrights are sold, the producers would have already made a fuss about them. Now it is obvious that no one wants them, or they cannot sell them at a high price.

But no matter how he asked, Tang An didn't say anything, and neither did they.

The opening conference also became Tang An's personal one-man show, and few actors asked questions except for the male and female protagonists.

When Yu Dong and the others were asked why they were willing to invest in such a high-cost film, they also expressed that they saw the prospect of this film very much.

Of course, that's a scene, no matter whether they can make money or not, as long as they don't lose money, it's a big profit for them.

Not long after the press conference ended, at a Spring and Autumn and Warring States City studio, Lu Chuan was turning on his laptop and watching the rebroadcast video of the press conference.

Although he was very upset with Tang An, he was still very concerned about his enemy, so he took the time to watch it and learn more about the details of the movie.

However, the more he looked at it, the uglier his face became, and he finally couldn't help it.

He slammed the laptop shut with a "snap".

Before Tan Hong rejected his project, although there was nothing wrong with the reason, Lu Chuan still couldn't understand it.

Now I understand everything, Tang An invested 4 million yuan in this movie, even if it is shared by the last four, the average cost of one family is [-] million yuan!

No wonder!
No wonder he rejected what he had agreed upon. It turned out that he turned around and cooperated with Tang An!

It's Tang An again!

Lu Chuan clenched his fists tightly!

Resentment from Lu Chuan +1!
