Chapter 681: Mystery Investor 2

(I read . Read the full text without pop-ups)

Obviously, the sisters even complained about Comrade Yang Di, this guy is really, people don't ask him, he can find an opportunity to interject by himself, as a result, he didn't even pick up the microphone, like a log planted there, it's really infuriating.

Ning Yunzhu couldn't wait to rush up and replace her, with the girl's temperament, even if the reporter was biased, she felt that she could grab a lot of things to say, so it was fun to be on camera.

After a long time, finally, a very "friendly" female reporter, not only out of sympathy, but also really wanted to pay attention to this mysterious investor who has now become a laughing stock, and when it was her turn to ask, she immediately looked over without hesitation.

"Hello Mr. Yang, it is said that the investment cost of this "God Cry Era" will break the domestic record, as far as I know, the current domestic single-film investment record is the magic epic masterpiece "Heavenly Fantasy" two years ago, and the official investment amount disclosed is 1. $700 million, are you really ready to break it in one fell swoop in cooperation with Miss Liu?"

The female reporter asked a question that was closely related to the new film, and her eyes were no longer focused on a certain star.

The female reporter used a "yours", which obviously did not regard Yang Di as an independent investor, but regarded this investment as the commercial intention of the Shichen Vipshop platform, just like the general opinion of the outside world.

She is a reporter specially sent by a column company, which has a column called "New Trend of Movie Watching", which is regarded by the industry as the most professional content guide program with a professional viewing eye, with multiple Chinese versions, and usually focuses on some international blockbusters.

Obviously, the gimmick released by "God Cry Era" this time has reached this level, coupled with Liu Xinxin's personal charm, and the fact that this film may break records and other factors, the column sent professional reporters and editors to learn more about the details.

can get the favor of this international trend movie guide program, in the eyes of many crews, it has always been a symbol of loftiness, and they talked about it with relish, and for a while, even the artists on the stage who were competing for popularity and beauty quieted down, smiled, and showed good patience.

Suddenly, from the cold reception, it became the focus of attention of all parties, and even Yang Di was a little flattered, cleared his throat, and responded as calmly as possible: "At present, our start-up capital has been as high as 1. 500 million US dollars, the funds have all been in place, according to industry practice, the final investment amount, will exceed this number, as an investor, Miss Liu and I, are not excluded on the basis of additional investment on the basis of need, so breaking the record, the possibility is very high, and even ironclad!"

When these words came out, the reporters present did not question it, but Liu Xinxin and Feng Qing were a little surprised, this guy was able to respond like this, it seems that he has read a lot of gossip magazines before, and there is basically no big problem with that kind of rhetoric.

Generally speaking, the initial reserve funds will have a certain discrepancy with the final cost, many well-known blockbusters, and even outrageous discrepancies, such as "Titanic" and "Avatar", were all photographed by the old man to the point that investors wanted to vomit blood, and the cost was almost doubled compared with the original plan, of course, it turned out that the old man's vision and ability were very good...

Therefore, in most cases, this discrepancy is equivalent to definitely exceeding the start-up budget, but how much it will be exceeded, in addition to the actual production needs, it is also related to the limit that investors can accept.

The previous cost record holder, "Heavenly Fantasy" invested by Xihuang Film and Television over there, had a budget of about 100 million US dollars, but later it was filmed 1. $700 million, now their own budget for new films1. 500 million US dollars, in principle, breaking the record should be a good thing, so Yang Di's kind of rhetoric is not inappropriate.

These reporters present have also been in the entertainment industry for a long time, and they heard 1. After the $500 million budget, they spontaneously put the word "maybe" in their minds in the response of "may break records", and the title they write tomorrow will definitely be replaced with "will break records".

The female reporter from "New Trend of Watching Movies", who is even more a veteran, nodded, acknowledging that this film is about to break the domestic cost record, and then, she asked: "According to the box office situation of the film "Heavenly Fantasy" disclosed by relevant channels that year, the last movie was a big loss, and it is said that investors have lost hundreds of millions of dollars of funds, there is no doubt that it is a failed investment case, and it is also regarded as a painful lesson by the industry.

Nowadays, domestic market analysts have an argument that the large investment in domestic films is equivalent to not being able to get along with money, and it will inevitably be a loss, because the ecological environment of domestic film consumption is not enough to meet such a large cost recovery and profit space.

As soon as this blockbuster question came out, even Ning Yunzhu and Li Xuanya, who were taking live pictures with their mobile phones on stage, were a little strange.

Obviously, that's a very sharp question, and although they don't understand the situation in this industry, it sounds like it's very powerful.

The media people around him straightened their ears one after another, and it can be said that before the event, this issue was destined to be pushed to the table.

Originally, these reporters planned to leave the problem to the absolute focus of Liu Xinxin, but because the question was a little acute and a little unreasonable, they postponed it a little, but they didn't expect to be thrown to this "mysterious investor" by a female reporter.

Yang Di was also stunned, and then glanced at Liu Xinxin, and said with a smile: "Hehe, how can there be no risk in investment, I'm not afraid of your jokes, the reason why Miss Liu and I invested in this film is mainly because of our love for the script, it is naturally best to make money, if you can't make money, it should be a work of conscience for the domestic audience." ”

As soon as these words came out, even Liu Xinxin, Feng Qing, Liu Xinyue, and even some artists present almost applauded him impulsively.

Wonderful!

Such a response not only resolved the embarrassment of being sung, but also skillfully won a very favorable status for the new film.

Out of a preference for original scripts, I want to create a work of conscience, regardless of returns, although it sounds a bit hypocritical, but in the flashy entertainment industry, it is definitely a very contagious word.

If you think it's hypocritical, then you have the ability to spend so much money on your own to talk big about it! If you really spend money there, even if you have doubts, no one can accuse the investor of doing anything wrong!

Out of this psychology, these words will be reported tomorrow, it is certain that they will be praised by many netizens who are enthusiastic about domestic films, any nation has its own national pride, and it is bombarded indiscriminately by Hollywood blockbusters every year.

Although I know that it is difficult, like a dream, this vision will not be extinguished in the hearts of every generation.

This is the same as the national football team, although the body is despised every day, you can ask yourself, in fact, many fans also hope that one day, the national football team can be killed by foreign media on a dark horse on the World Cup stage, instead of acting as a spectator to watch other people's scenery in every World Cup.

Therefore, anyone who gives them hope, even if it is a little tactful after saying it, is worthy of sincere appreciation.

These reporters present, after listening to what someone said, their eyes changed instantly, they thought that this young man was a passerby, but they were able to give such an amazing reply.

It is conceivable that as soon as the relevant reports come out, the public's expectation and attention to this "work of conscience" will multiply, and many times, hot events in the entertainment industry are caused by a topic that can stir up the public's nerves.

If these words were designed by the filmmaker's public relations team, the public relations team is indeed very professional, and if it is the young man's own rhetoric, then this young man is really amazing.

Su Yu was in the audience, a flash of brilliance flashed in her beautiful eyes, for some reason, when she heard Yang Di say that just now, she was a little touched, maybe because she knew this person too well, she believed it, some were moved, and some couldn't help but hope that this movie could really shoulder the kind of mission that could make countless people excited, although it was difficult to know.

Even the female reporter is a little dumbfounded, she is the chief reporter of the Chinese region of this company, because her professional vision is too high, it is inevitable that she has a subconscious arrogance for domestic films, and when she helped write some year-end inventory and reviews in the past, she also used mean comments to examine those domestic pseudo-blockbusters.

But just now, she was a little surprised, perhaps, the person in front of her was too young to let people connect with those cunning bosses, invisibly, but deeply infected.

Of course, not all media have good intentions, and some reporters sent by media with backgrounds in other film and television companies were very unhappy when they heard Yang Di's response.

What the bigwigs behind them can't do, whether this young man and Liu Xinxin can do it or not, they are obviously scoffing, in an old saying, even if they can't do it themselves, they can't see others.

"Mr. Yang, I believe that fans will be very grateful to you for treating this investment with the mentality of making a work of conscience, but many professionals also pointed out that the current last line of the film's reversal miracle has little to do with the quality of the film, and it will mainly depend on Miss Liu Xinxin's popularity appeal, what do you think about this?" An old man reporter asked a very tricky question a little jokingly.

As soon as these words came out, the surroundings were instantly cold.

Of course, some people are talking about this topic on the Internet, and it is obvious that this work is a work of conscience or breaking the cost record, but all of them are no match for the attractiveness of the gimmick of "Liu Xinxin as the producer and starring".

Subsequently, some ill-intentioned people will make an argument that this beauty is too blindly confident in her popularity appeal.

Someone even posted a long article analyzing that Liu Xinxin is indeed popular in China at present, but this does not mean that her terrifying popularity will eventually be able to achieve a large number of box office conversions.

With the current domestic movie-watching ecological environment, buying tickets to watch movies in theaters is still not the mainstream, and many people are more willing to watch pirated copies online or through CDs, the reason is naturally related to higher ticket prices, that tens of hundreds of yuan, for people above white-collar workers, it is definitely not a problem, but for migrant workers, it is really a bit of a luxury.

Moreover, because of the late development of domestic cinemas, elderly people, even if they have plenty of pockets, do not have the habit of going to the theater to watch movies.

This is a serious problem that the domestic film and television ecological environment has to face, and it is based on this considerable factor that those bricks have come to the conclusion that domestic large-scale productions must die.

This is also a real problem that Liu Xinxin has to face on the basis of her terrifying popularity.

Originally, this question would have been used to make things difficult for Liu Xinxin and find a selling point for the report, but being thrown to Yang Di by that reporter can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

If Yang Di responds yes, it is to sing down Liu Xinxin's charm, not only embarrassing on the spot, but also to be misinterpreted by some unscrupulous media later, which may attract the bombardment of some irrational fans, if Yang Di says no, the film will lose money at that time, and the media can say that the two investors are very laymen and overestimate the commercial value of celebrity popularity.

Feng Qing opened his mouth, and was about to use his rich experience to resolve this acute question, but at this time, Yang Di had already opened his mouth without dodging, he looked at the man and smiled: "In my opinion and Miss Liu, it is a very indifferent move to use the popularity of fans to make money. Young people who have just joined the company, as well as those who are not easy to make money, pay attention to the dynamics, and help forward Weibo to your liking, that is the biggest support for Miss Liu and our new film, no need to break the bank, especially for primary and secondary school students, we do not support spending dozens of hundreds of pocket money to blindly chase stars!"

Quiet!

When Yang Di said this, the scene was quiet.

This time, even Liu Xinxin, Feng Qing, and Liu Xinyue were all wide-eyed, no matter what, they didn't expect Yang Di to say this.

Those reporters were even more dumbfounded, and other film companies were trying their best to use the appeal of stars to circle the box office when they were promoting and building momentum, and then there will be some movie viewing opportunities to have close contact with idols, and you can get the idol's autograph.

In short, it is impossible to drive fans, especially those fanatical fans, into the theater.

But no one expected that this investor would persuade Liu Xinxin's fans to watch the movie rationally, and even "turned away" primary and secondary school students who spent money without blinking in order to chase stars, which was too weird, so that the reporters present were a little caught off guard and felt insanity.
