9days ago Celebrity fiction 10
After seeing Jackie Chan who had been waiting for a long time at the doorstep of the villa, Wu Mingxuan, who had just gotten out of the car, took the initiative to say hello to him and asked him directly: Where is Brother Jie?Didn't come together?

He has come here a long time ago, but you know him. He usually just does this, did he bring the movie?Can you take a look now?I can't wait.

Li Zhe nodded. The cleaning of the villa was asked by Lin Fengjiao, the sister-in-law, to find a special hourly worker to help, so she just went into the house and moved in normally with her luggage.

The source of movies is naturally traditional movie film. Although 3D movies have not yet been released, digital film and IMAX have appeared. The first IMAX 3D movie Avatar will be released at the end of this year. After that, many blockbusters will be mainly digital film, but the cost of photography equipment and shooting will also be much higher than that now.

Simply put, when shooting movies of the same production level without using IMAX cameras, the cost may be $1.5 billion. Using IMAX-specific cameras, even if you use digital films, the overall cost will increase by at least $30 million.

Wu Mingxuan came here this time to purchase equipment in advance. Not only will the price be much more expensive, but he may not necessarily sell you. Maybe he can only rent it at a sky-high price.

After debugging the equipment, Wu Mingxuan played the movie again in the screening room on the first floor of the villa. It was mainly for the first time to shoot this type of movie. Jackie Chan was also very curious about what level he could be and whether he could surpass the popular "Iron Man" released in 2008.

Since the first fight scene appeared in the movie, Jackie Chan's mouth never closed again. He even subconsciously rubbed his chin with a sore muscles after watching the full movie. He thought we were just imitating, but never thought that he was surpassing. This Ah Xuan really has the ambition to swallow the world, which is really not simple.

However, because he saw the true appearance of this movie, Jackie Chan suddenly became full of confidence in tomorrow's test films, and he was also full of disdain for Jet Li, the old opponent. He deserved that you wouldn't come. He would probably have no chance to return later.

Jet Li is different from Jackie Chan. He has never expected this type of person at all. He just can't help but do things with money. He is essentially not optimistic about Wu Mingxuan's big bet with the big guys in the circle, and thinks that this is using a star lineup to make money.

However, before the test session started, he still arrived as promised. After all, there are many big names coming today, especially those in Hollywood. If possible, he certainly hopes to continue to be in Hollywood, rather than returning to China to shoot bad movies.

Hi Jack, are you all ready here?

Of course, otherwise I wouldn’t have traveled this trip myself, who are these?

Little Murdoch immediately introduced Li Zhe to several guests he brought with him with a warm look, but the scattered ones only mentioned their names and did not directly reveal their identities. Simply put, if your debut show is not satisfactory, then you are not worthy of knowing, and they are not interested in knowing you.

Wu Mingxuan was not surprised by this. Just like when Murdoch asked about his English name, he said that his name was Jack very perfunctorily. In essence, Wu Mingxuan didn't take these Americans too seriously. He was full of contempt in his bones, but it was just that these Americans are useful to him now and strategically lowered their posture.

But they don’t know them all. Stan Lee and Kevin Wu Mingxuan know each other. It is estimated that few people who come through time from the next ten years do not know them. This made Wu Mingxuan smell a hint of opportunity to break the deadlock.

The movie soon started playing, and a group of people went from disdain at the beginning to surprise, and then to dumbfounded. They knew that they changed so many surprising expressions because of this movie that was not expected.

Kevin looked at the old man Stan and Li beside him with a look of horror. Both of them were very glad. Fortunately, they came here today. Fortunately, Iron Man was a year earlier, otherwise many things would be hard to say. I didn’t expect that Chinese-language movies could have such a high production level.

cool!It's so cool, it's really hard to imagine. This would be a Chinese-language movie. It's amazing to hear that the special effects and sets in the movie were produced by a team and a special effects company in Hong Kong.

After all, the investment is different. Compared with Hollywood, we have an absolute cost advantage. Perhaps my production cost is 1.5 billion US dollars, but if it is replaced by Hollywood standards, it will cost at least 300 million or even 500 million US dollars. Such a huge investment will naturally have corresponding effects.

Many people present have heard of the high cost-effectiveness of the Chinese entertainment industry. Take the most extreme death compensation as an example. There is a behind-the-scenes staff member who died in an accident due to filming, which is at least a few million US dollars in compensation. The cost of some dangerous shots of disability is even more jaw-dropping.

In the Chinese entertainment industry, a life of only 20 million yuan is only 3 million yuan, and even one-tenth of them is not necessarily the case. Those dangerous actions are even cheaper. If you have thousands or tens of thousands of yuan, you will have to take risks with your own lives. As long as you don’t die, it has nothing to do with the crew. Giving condolences is a love, and not giving is a duty.

The pay of those stars and normal labor expenses are even cheaper. Adding them together may not be as high as that of the first-tier stars. Even the special effects are more than half cheaper than theirs. After adding them together, the calculation of this movie is indeed very exaggerated according to the Hollywood standards, which is reasonable.

Murdoch Jr. asked Fox's distribution manager Donk, who wanted to know how much box office potential this movie is. Anyway, he thought it was very good after watching it. The pictures and special effects, including the plot, are very interesting, at least they are more interesting than the "X-Men" they filmed by themselves.

Conservatively estimated that North America should be able to break $200 million, and the European and American markets have the opportunity to break $500 million, which should be better than "Iron Man". It is considered a superhero-themed masterpiece. The only risk is whether audiences in the European and American markets can accept superheroes with yellow skins.

This is actually the most unsure thing about Wu Mingxuan. Because there is no precedent to follow, he can only bet on the bet. Who told him that he couldn't wait for Shangqi? But his series is different from the Shangqi series. It's completely different, but it's a bit like Thor's setting.

After some calculations, Murdoch Jr. had a general idea of ​​how to release this movie. Without being explicitly rejected, he would sign a contract with Wu Mingxuan as soon as possible to ensure the strategic alliance between the two parties.
