Chapter 373 Wang Zhongjun's Plan
""Edge of Tomorrow" is officially launched, and director Tang An will shoot the first domestic 3D blockbuster!"

"According to Tang An's disclosure at the launch conference, the sci-fi blockbuster "Edge of Tomorrow" tells the story of aliens invading the earth, and the whole world has almost fallen. The concept map of the exoskeleton mecha and aliens was also announced at the press conference!"

"With a single film investment of 4 million yuan, "Edge of Tomorrow" set a record for the highest investment in a Chinese-language film."

""Edge of Tomorrow" will target the overseas film market. It has attracted the attention of the Hollywood giant Columbia Group before the filming started, and now it has recovered most of the cost."

"The 3D era is coming, Tang An is the first to create the first 3D movie in China!"

"Compared to those blockbuster films with an investment of 4 to [-] million yuan, half of them are used to pay the high remuneration of big-name stars. The [-] million investment actors' remuneration is only a few million, and all the costs are spent on film production. This is the real Conscientious filmmaker."

"The 4 million investment may not be able to pay back. Tang An will usher in the first loss-making movie?"

"Liu Ye, Tang Yan, Deng Chao, Zhang Hanyu, Wu Jing. "Edge of Tomorrow" has assembled nearly half of the outstanding actors of the younger generation!"

"Can young actors support a 4 million-dollar production, is it Waterloo or doomed?"

As one of the most watched movies next year, most of the media have reported on the launch of "Edge of Tomorrow".

In fact, even if it wasn't Tang An's movie, it would still be the same with any director.

4 million big productions, 3D blockbusters, any one of them is enough to shock the entertainment industry, let alone Tang An's movies.

For sure, I hope Tang An can make a high-quality film. After all, it is the first 3D blockbuster in China, and it is also the first hard sci-fi movie.

There are also doubts. As for some young actors, none of them have box office appeal overseas. It is hard to believe that they can make back their money.

There are all kinds of views.

When the audience learned that "Edge of Tomorrow" will be a 3D movie, they were also full of expectations.

After all, "Avatar" has been released for nearly 20 days at this time. Basically, many people have watched the 3D version or even IMAX3D, and they are looking forward to another 3D movie.

"Damn it, I thought hard sci-fi was already awesome, but I didn't expect it to be a 3D movie. I'm looking forward to it more and more now!"

"Tang An is probably the only one who can make blockbuster 3D special effects movies in China. The red, green and green scenes in Zhang Yimou's "Three Shots Surprise" almost disgusted me to death."

"The national teacher is indeed disappointing. Brother Chen Kai doesn't have to count on it. Chen Kexin can't shoot big scenes. Feng Xiaogang is too bad. Only Tang An can look forward to it."

"With an investment of 4 million yuan, there are only a few million film remunerations, that is, all the money is spent on film production."

"4 million, judging from Tang An's previous films, the special effects of the films will definitely not be bad."

"I've decided to save money for movie tickets from now on!"

"Movie ticket money is ready."

"The local tyrant pretends to be poor, and IMAX is only 100 yuan, which is just a month's living expenses."

"100 yuan? I would say that I bought more than 500 IMAX 3D scalper tickets for "Avatar" with half a year's living expenses!"

"6666, the local tyrant upstairs, more than 500 movie tickets!"

Not only the attention of the media and movie fans, but now basically every company is paying attention to Tang An's "Edge of Tomorrow".

Regardless of whether it is good or not, at least everyone is looking forward to the day when the movie will be released.

It's just that some people are looking forward to hitting the street, while others are looking forward to a big explosion.

Huayi Brothers Media Group, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei are also discussing this matter.

Wang Zhongjun's eyes flickered, and he looked at Wang Zhonglei, "How about it, what did Chang Hongsong say?"

When Tang An talked with them before, he didn't say that he wanted to shoot 3D, and he didn't hear where he rented 3D equipment, so Wang Zhonglei went to Tiangong Yicai to ask about the situation.

"Brother, Chang Hongsong said that it was converted to 3D, not actual shooting." Wang Zhonglei said.

"Convert to 3D?"

Wang Zhongjun thinks about it too. It's not that they haven't learned about 3D shooting, and now they can't rent first-class equipment if they want to shoot.

However, he knew that the original cost was only 3 million. Even if the publicity was added to the sky-high 3 million, it would cost [-] million to convert to [-]D.

This Wang Zhonglei explained, "It should be a false report, and the conversion cost is about 4000 million."

As one of the shareholders of Tiangong Yicai, it is very easy to understand this matter.

Wang Zhongjun frowned, "4000 million is so much, it seems that Tang An really wants to play big."

In fact, some companies are already preparing to convert to 3D. The price quoted by these special effects teams in China is around 600 million. This is a conversion fee of 4000 million. Wang Zhongjun couldn't help but marvel.

Wang Zhongjun still has a good idea of ​​what those 600 million conversions can do.

Then he wondered again, "Can this transformed one have the original effect?"

"It's definitely not as good as Avatar, but Chang Hongsong said that 4000 million yuan should be able to do better. The hardware and software can keep up. Domestic technology is not far behind Hollywood."

Wang Zhonglei also had to admire Tang An, "This Tang An's ambition is really extraordinary, so he will become the first director to make a 3D movie. When the first domestic 3D movie is released, it will definitely attract a large number of audiences." .”

"No, Zhong Lei, you are wrong." Wang Zhongjun laughed.

"Edge of Tomorrow will be released in December, and there will definitely be a converted 12D movie before that."

Wang Zhonglei's eyes brightened, "Yes, I heard that several movies are going to be converted into 3D, but 600 million will definitely not have any effect, and a lot of fake 3D will definitely make the audience disappointed with the converted 3D and domestic 3D. "

Wang Zhongjun said with a sinister smile, "At that time, we will focus on publicizing that "Edge of Tomorrow" is converted into 3D and fake 3D like those bad movies. I will see if anyone will buy it."

Wang Zhongjun, who is full of confidence, is confident that he has found the biggest weakness of "Edge of Tomorrow". When the time comes, as long as domestic audiences are disgusted by those fake 3D, they will naturally be disappointed with the conversion to 3D. Even Tang An, don't want the audience to believe it anymore. up.

With the exception of Hua Yi, the four blockbuster films in the Lunar New Year file, the other two will definitely not let go of this good opportunity. The three parties will join forces to do negative marketing, so I don't believe Tang An can't do it!
The capital branch of Eucalyptus Pictures.

Jiang Zhiqiang asked his subordinates, "How is the 3D conversion of "Su Qier" going?"

The subordinate immediately replied, "There is still more than half a month, and the schedule should be in time."

"Ah."

Jiang Zhiqiang nodded, and ordered, "There is still one month left for the release, now let's officially start the promotion, and focus on the signboard of the first 3D movie in China!"

As a filmmaker with five or sixty years of experience, Jiang Zhiqiang's market sense is absolutely extraordinary.

When "Avatar" was released on the third day, he contacted a domestic special effects company, and two days later, the cooperation was finalized, and the transformation began directly.
