Chapter 130
On July 7, "Transformers" was officially released in China. It has just been released, and it has shown an unparalleled offensive ability at the box office.

It didn't take too long, the movie's box office exceeded [-] million, and it was heading towards the [-] million mark!

A box office of [-] million is quite surprising in this year, and the box office of "Transformers" is definitely more than [-] million, it should be between [-] million.

And even more!

"Border Wind and Cloud" also began to be drawn down gradually. By the 20th, the filming rate was only about 5% after one day. However, this movie has already earned quite an astonishing box office, and the current filming rate is gradually decreasing. Freezing is also normal.

During this time, the schedules of many actors have also been freed up.

Of course, there are also a lot of credits for Chen Xi's "Frontier Wind and Cloud" to increase his popularity.

With Chen Xi's fame, these actors will have more confidence in his movies.

To be honest, "Raid" is a movie that wants to make the actors easy to get hurt, and it is also a dangerous and tiring movie, so Chen Xi's salary for the actors is still quite high.

This is one of the reasons why everyone chooses "Raid".

... Now the problem Chen Xi is facing is the shooting location!
This also involves whether "The Raid" should be attributed to an American film, a Chinese film or a co-production.

Several possibilities have their own advantages...

If it is made into an American film, the review will be relatively simple. Although overseas distribution will not play a big role, there are still some possibilities and it will be easier to integrate into overseas markets.But the problem with this is that it is difficult to film in China, and he uses this method to evade the review, which is quite easy to see through in the eyes of those who are interested. This may leave him with some people in the mainstream Chinese director circle. place for braids.

Made into a Chinese movie...review...a tear of bitterness!

If it is made into a co-production film, there will still be some places that will face review. In addition, if that is the case, it will become a bit difficult to film in China.

...The script of "The Raid" has already been passed in the United States. After all, this is not a finished film, but a book is easier to pass. But on the radio and television side, the reason for being blocked in the review is mainly due to corruption in the film The police... Although the ending is pretty bright, they are still hesitant at this point.

After careful consideration, Chen Xi still chose to make a co-production!

On this point, Chen Xi and the others have already reached an agreement with Xiguang Company in the United States.

Chris Cameron has returned to the United States, so the cooperation between Chen Xi and him can already start.

If it is made into a co-production film, it can also become a part of their cooperation.

And the shooting location... After careful consideration, Chen Xi chose Xiangjiang.

Xiangjiang is relatively inclusive of many things, and the same is true in terms of review. If it is made into a Sino-US co-production, and relatively speaking, the specific attributes should be the genes of the combination of Xiangjiang movies and American movies, it should be considered a good one. s things.

That's why Chen Xi now has such a choice.

However, if you are filming in Xiangjiang, you may encounter the problem of increased costs such as rent... You may even be cheated!Fortunately, on Chen Xi's side, many people in the crew originally belonged to Xiangjiang. Now, this problem is no longer a problem.

Liu Jialiang and An Zhijie can be regarded as local snakes, and Wu Jing often filmed in Hong Kong and knew a lot.

With these arrangements in place, The Raid is ready to launch!
Unlike "Front and Cloud", Chen Xi did not prepare a series of hype measures before the filming of "Raid", because he did not hold much hope for the release of this film in mainland China.

But when it came time to shoot, many people were still paying attention to Chen Xi and his new movie... especially after he made the preliminary statement that he would make an action movie or a comedy movie.

Although everyone is looking forward to another "Border Situation", but for the director Chen Xi who made "Border Situation"... Everyone also has a kind of expectation to see his new genre, want to see him in In terms of other types of movies, can the situation like "Front and Cloud" continue.

With such anticipation, Chen Xi's new movie news, they don't need to spend time and effort to promote it, but someone is already paying attention to his new movie status, looking forward to the release of his new movie!
... At the same time, Chen Xi was a little worried about the budget of "Raid".

Because, so far, the investment budget of "Raid" has been at least 400 million!

And it's just an initial investment... It's not counted as publicity expenses for the time being. The movie is going to be released in foreign countries. , 100 million US dollars may be able to get it down.

This is equivalent to 700 million RMB...

In short, "raid" is to invest at least 1000 million yuan.

In terms of the pure production cost of "Raid", Chen Xi mainly has to consider the remuneration of the actors... After all, such a dangerous movie, whether it is from the perspective of caring for them, or from the perspective of attracting them to participate , must raise the pay a little bit higher.

As a result, the production cost of the film is also increasing.

Now Chen Xi also wants to reduce the cost, but in terms of cost, any further reduction will reduce the quality of the movie...

So after careful consideration, Chen Xi still accepted the cost.

In this day of the cost discussion, many people are now feeling the destruction of this matter.

Ye Dongnan said: "If this film has invested more than 1000 million... we may have some problems with our liquidity!"

What Ye Dongnan knew, Chen Xi certainly knew even more.

Now "Frontier Wind and Cloud" has indeed generated more than 1000 million net profits, but it will take time for many of these profits to reach the company's account. A large part of what supports the company now comes from the copyright fee of "If You Are the One".

Now "Deep Space Film and Television" has more than ten employees, plus they have rented a large office building in Zhonghai, and other expenses, they have to eat up nearly 30 of their funds every month. The various expenses are also relatively large...so the money left in the company's account is not too much. If you invest in "Raid", there is not much reserve to deal with emergencies.

Chen Xi thought about this situation, and thought of the 3000 million earned from "If You Are the One"...

"Should I find another TV station to cooperate with? It would be a waste if we don't produce variety shows in future generations!"
