Halo of cheating in the entertainment industry

Chapter 291 Officially concluded

January 18, Beijing.

In the studio, the last reshoot was completed, and the entire crew burst into laughter. The four-month-long shooting has finally come to an end.

From September to now, everyone has experienced a lot, learned a lot, and gained a lot. From the beginning of the entire movie, from the first shot to the present, the biggest investment in the history of Chinese-language films is due to their performances and work.

born in.

It was also a difficult four months for the actors. They suffered a lot, suffered a lot, traveled thousands of kilometers across the country, and visited six or seven different cities.

Now, I am finally liberated and the film is finally completed. The rest of the time will be left to Jo and Su Li to solve, and most of the things that the actors are responsible for have been completed.

Everyone fell into a short carnival and looked a little excited, so even if Fan Bingbing hugged Su Li in joy, Yang Mi was not unhappy at all when she saw this. Su Li himself even felt the urge to burst into tears.

, but I still suppressed it. From the beginning of preparation in May last year to now, this movie has gone through seven months, and now it is finally taking shape in my hands.

The piles of film were a sign of the end of the battle. For the actors, the movie had come to an end, but for Zurich, the long march of thousands of miles was not over yet.

What comes next will even be more complicated in some cases.

The first is the issue of editing and post-production special effects. These two things cannot be done without leaving Zurich. He has to be responsible for specific guidance.

The editors were also hired by the best in the country. This blockbuster has been going crazy all the way to the end, and the funds have been continuously invested without any mercy. Su Li did not blink an eye at the huge investment of funds, and was full of enthusiasm.

Decisive.

The special effects were completely handled by Fen Ying, who is now a subsidiary team of Liguang Entertainment. For the post-production of "Inception", Su Li discussed with them countless times.

Now this film wants to win the final battle, which is very critical here.

The second is the issue of publicity. The publicity of this movie will definitely not be limited to China.

Su Li has even spent RMB 100 million in promotional expenses. Such a large amount of money made some people familiar with the matter feel that Su Li is really crazy and would not hesitate to make a "Inception".

The publicity expenses of 100 million yuan are only a few million in China. After all, the gimmick of a Chinese-language film with the largest investment in history is enough for Chinese movie stars to slowly chew. At that time, all it takes is to gently light the fuse.

, the fire of propaganda in China will instantly start a prairie fire.

Most of their money is spent abroad, first of all in Asia.

Under the influence of "Source Code" and "Apostasy", Su Li has become one of the most outstanding young stars in Asia. Su Li's filming of "Inception" has also been recognized in Asia.

degree of attention. Su Li deliberately asked outsiders to say that "Inception" and "Source Code" are also science fiction films, and they may have certain similarities in some places.

This immediately attracted everyone's attention. After all, in the past year, "Source Code" was one of the most popular films in Asia. Just after it was released, it made a big hit in the Asian film market, breaking through ten figures.

The box office numbers of "Inception" are even more astonishing. Therefore, "Inception", which is said to be the most heavily invested movie in the history of Chinese movies, immediately attracted everyone's attention.

The Asian market is an important battlefield for "Inception" to recover costs. For the publicity here, Zurich and the others have spared no effort in investing in at least enough publicity in several major countries.

Then came the North American market. After "Source Code", many people knew about Zurich and vaguely knew about "Inception".

Because of the success of the cooperation on "Source Code", many distributors and theaters in North America have established contact with Liguang Entertainment. They will also help promote "Inception" before it is released. In the North American market, Zurich

They also plan to invest a lot of money in publicity, at least to let Americans know that the director who made "Source Code" has a new movie again, and his new movie will be very good.

The two major markets of Asia and North America will take up a lot of publicity expenses, but this is far from over.

In "Inception", Zurich pictures the whole world.

It will also start sparing no effort to promote it in Europe. In fact, Zurich knows that its "Inception" may be the most popular place in Europe.

Europe is the center of world philosophy. People on this map like to think. Smart movies like "Inception" are even more popular in Europe than in China.

Therefore, Zurich even plans to spend more money on promotion in Europe. "Source Code" has not been released much in Europe before, but it has also caused a great response. Liguang Entertainment has made money in Europe relying on v

With tens of millions of dollars spent, people there also know "Source Code", know Zurich, and occasionally know a little bit about "Inception". Europe may become the region with the largest investment in promoting "Inception".

As soon as the final version of "Inception" is released, Liguang Entertainment will immediately send it to the Cannes Film Festival and the Venice International Film Festival for exhibition. Whether it can win awards is another matter.

The main markets that "Inception" wants to attack are these places, Europe, Asia, North America...basically these are the other places. Zurich has no plans to penetrate other places and does not have the ability. We can only see if there are people

If you want "Inception", then let them play it. In other regions, the main way to make money is through v.

In order to promote in these places, what Zuli and the others have to do is to first cut out the trailer of "Inception" and combine some jng clips with special effects so that everyone can know more about "Inception"

What kind of movie is it.

Post-production and publicity constitute the two major problems that Su Li will face next. However, it will not be easy for him since the beginning of 2010. First, he must complete all post-production of "Inception" with everyone, and he will have to complete all the post-production of "Inception" in mid-February.

I participated in the Spring Festival Gala, and there were several small concerts that I had to go to in March. There was the Academy Awards in April, and I was going to Cannes in May. In May, "Inception" was initially scheduled to be released.

time……

Sure enough, we can't rest easy after filming "Inception". Zurich still needs a lot of time to follow up the film.

——————

On the afternoon of January 18th, a press conference for the official completion of "Inception" was held in Beijing. A complete set of celebrities attended the press conference - Su Li, Yang Mi, Fan Bingbing, Huang Xiaoming, Chen Kun, Deng Chao, Chen Daoming all

Here, there are also many dissatisfied reporters waiting for the press conference to officially start.

Sitting in front of the stage, Su Li, who had just taken off her makeup, looked haggard and couldn't hide it. Several other actors were also more or less mentally ill.

The reporters thought that this must be a difficult shooting process, and they were even more eager to ask questions.

Therefore, when the press officer just allowed the reporters to start asking questions, they all couldn't wait.

The first reporter who was called quickly stood up from the crowd, held up the microphone and gave his interview opportunity to Su Li without hesitation.

"Mr. Su Li, now that the movie is completely finished, can you tell us about the filming of this movie?" This person's question is still a bit tricky. If Su Li wants to answer it properly, it will take a long time.

Su Li thought about it for a while and then said: "I have said a lot about this movie. All I can do now is to summarize. The whole movie traveled to seven provinces and cities across the country, with dozens of scenes, and lasted

After more than four months, all the filming has been completed, and I finally feel a lot more at ease. More than 900 shots have been shot in this movie. It is now officially in post-production and is expected to be released in the middle of this year...

"

He said a lot, and these things are relatively exposed. He went on to say: "I would like to thank all the people who care, support and help this movie, and thank the actors who worked hard. During the filming process, until night

It may be common to fall asleep after two... and it is troublesome to change scenes at every turn. Other staff members have also paid a lot for this movie. They gave up a lot of rest time and worked hard for this movie... Please allow me to express my gratitude to them.

To express my gratitude.”

The reporters applauded one after another. Whether Su Li was being pretentious or speaking from the bottom of his heart, it was polite to applaud.

After the next question, the reporter asked sharply: "Judging from some current news, the investment in "Inception" has exceeded the quota... Can you tell us how you plan to recover this huge cost?"

This question has actually been asked before, but now it has more meanings. There are even rumors that the investment amount of "Inception" has directly exceeded 1 billion. This figure is jaw-dropping, although everyone

I know it’s impossible, but it’s true that the investment in “Inception” was over-invested.

Su Li said: "It's like this. During the filming of "Inception", there were deviations compared with some estimates. In terms of action scenes, we invested much more than the budget. In addition, in order to cooperate with Burning

In the special effects studio, we also temporarily added shooting scenes in the snowy mountains... Such an investment is indeed much higher than expected."

"As for the issue of cost recovery, I have already said that the key now is to shoot something that everyone likes. Only if everyone likes it, will the box office have the power to grow. Judging from the current filming progress,

I can confidently say that I have achieved the expected goal of my shooting. As long as there are no problems in the follow-up processing, then I can confidently say that everyone will like "Inception"..."

"Pa bang bang" applause rang out again, and after Su Li accepted several interviews, he gave the interview opportunity to other actors, while he listened quietly from the side.
