Chapter 72

"Looking for the biography of Qin? Is it the adaptation of teacher Huang's novel? "

Lin Chen was surprised, because the film, in his original world, had just begun to prepare, but in this world, it had already started shooting?

"I used to read Mr. Huang's original works several times. I haven't lost the TV series you used to shoot on Hong Kong Island TV. " Lin Chen said with a smile.

"I've seen it many times, too!" Fang Han also said excitedly.

"That's great." "In fact, this time, I just want to move Mr. Huang's works to the big screen," guzai said happily

"Although the original TV series had a good audience rating, there were too many adaptations of the original work. This time, I invested in it to restore it to the big screen. Of course, because the original work is too long, I plan to make it into a series of films. The first part of this time is mainly about Zhao Guofeng... By the way, the salty and wet parts in the original work will naturally be changed."

Lin Chen nodded deeply. At the beginning, Hong Kong Island TV station once put the biography of Qin Xun on TV. However, due to the lack of investment, the details of the whole play are extremely rough. For example, the clothes of guzai are actually worn by King renjinlun.

The scene of the seven heroes fighting for supremacy in the Warring States period is also taken in one stroke, and even the characters in it are greatly reduced.

In spite of this, relying on the hard performance of a group of creators, the drama version of the biography of Qin Xun can still be called a classic. In contrast, the new version of the biography of Qin Xun, which was later performed by someone who found a batch of fresh meat, was a disaster.

With his love for the original work, Lin Chen did not calculate the return, so he immediately clapped and said, "GuZi, let's just say, how much money do you need for this movie?"

"The cast of this play is mainly Hong Kong Island cast. I called the original cast. The cast of Hong Kong Island is not as high as that of mainland cast. But because I want to restore the war scenes of the original work as much as possible this time, the cost of post production is very high. I found that there is not enough money for the post production."

Lin Chen waved his hand: "GuZi, don't say so much, just say how much money you lack?"

"Well... We've invested 180 million in this show before. If there are 20 million Hong Kong dollars left, we should be able to do it." Guzai replied.

20 million Hong Kong dollars?

Lin Chen is stunned. He doesn't think that Gu Zi wants too much, but he thinks that he wants too little.

180 million plus 20 million, that's 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

It is not enough to find the magnificent plot of Qin biography, which is only 200 million Hong Kong dollars, even if it only involves the plot of Zhao state at the beginning.

As the husband of Gu Roland, who was once a big star, Lin Chen can barely be regarded as a person in the entertainment industry.

In addition to his experience in the last life, Lin Chen knows very well that works like Xun Qinchuan can only make good films by big production.

Although he does not doubt the acting skills of these Hong Kong Island actors, sometimes the acting skills are not omnipotent. If there are no good special effects in the later stage, the final biography of Qin may not be recognized by the market.

In fact, the production cost of war movies is no less than that of sci-fi blockbusters. For example, as we all know, the shooting cost of the Three Kingdoms is as high as 170 million yuan, which is still the cost of the 1990s when everyone's salary was only a few hundred yuan.

Although the original work of Qin Xun's biography is classified as martial arts, the war scenes in it are no less than those in war movies. If the cost is reduced, Lin Chen can hardly believe how much war scenes he can make.

With this in mind, Lin Chen can forget it: in the current situation, the probability of getting back the investment of 200 million yuan is

50%！

Sure enough

Lin Chen sighed in his heart.

Things and he guessed good, so go on looking for Qin Chuan is very likely to hit the street.

He was not afraid that the 20 million he had invested would turn into water. He was just worried that the efforts of these people would be wasted.

Lin Chen took a sip of coffee, and then said, "GuZi, tell me honestly, I'll give you 20 million yuan. Are you sure you can let Xunqin pass on the big bang?"

Gu Zi hesitated, and finally said: "Lin Sheng, I can only say to do my best, but looking for the biography of Qin is not a traditional martial arts, it is more like a war epic. If we want to pursue quality, the 200 million we have now is not enough, which I found out when I was shooting."

"Just like the Wujia ranch in the original work, we have to go to the mainland to seek the help of herdsmen on the grassland. A play costs us five million yuan. There are many scenes like this. At first, we were ambitious, but later we found that we couldn't finish shooting 200 million Hong Kong dollars like this. So in the end, we had to change the script to make the content smaller, Develop the plot in the direction of TV series version.... "

"Then it doesn't make any sense." Lin Chen shook his head.

Gu Zai listened and fell into silence.

Lin Chen really likes the play of seeking the biography of Qin, and he also admires the actor Gu Zai.

So Lin Chen decided to help him more.

As for the amount of investment, Lin Chen has a steelyard in his heart.

Guzai's search for Qin biography will increase the cost of HK $100 million, and the probability of getting back the investment is... 60%!

Seeing this result, Lin Chen felt a little more confident. Before he invested 20 million yuan, the probability of getting back the investment was only 50%. Now he has increased the investment by 80 million yuan, but the probability of getting back the investment has increased by 10%. This shows that as long as he increases the investment, the box office of xunchuan will certainly increase.

As for the critical point in this

Lin Chen made several calculations, and finally found that as long as he invested more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars, the probability of getting back his investment would be 100%.

After 300 million yuan, Lin Chen continued to increase his investment, and the probability has been improving. When he increased to 500 million yuan, the probability finally reached the peak of 500%!

If you invest 500 million yuan, the probability of cost recovery is 500%, which is equivalent to 5 times the rate of return and 2.5 billion yuan of income.

How can Lin Chen miss such an opportunity to help Gu Zai and make a lot of money?

"GuZi, I've decided that since you want to make this biography of Qin Dynasty, you should do it well. As for money, you don't have to think about it. If 20 million is not enough, I can increase my investment!"

"Really? How much are you going to vote for Asked guzai.

"I'll give you 500 million yuan. If we want to make a big production, how about it?" Lin Chen said.

"Five hundred million?"

Gu Zi stood up in shock.

Fang Han was also stunned. He pulled Lin Chen's clothes and said in a low voice: "brother Lin, you are crazy! 500 million Hong Kong dollars plus their 180 million, that's the cost of nearly 700 million! Where does Hong Kong film need so much money? "

Gu Zai also said: "yes, Lin Sheng, the cost is 700 million yuan, which can be ranked in the list of Chinese film costs. Such a high level of investment has never happened in China before. "

In this world, the top three films invested by China are similar to Lin Chen's last life. They are bloody red cliff, wolf's Totem and bloody Great Wall. The cost of these three films is more than 600 million, but they are all in a mess. Especially, the top one, bloody Great Wall, whose cost is 1 billion, has lost even his pants.

There are so many failure cases in front of him, so even if he has no bottom in his heart, he doesn't dare to accept money from others.
