As a new director, it is difficult for Xiao Qi to get enough financial support for a film of this type.

This is why he has been graduating for many years, but he has not yet been able to put this student work on the big screen.

This is because, firstly, he is not famous and no one trusts him, and secondly, the subject matter of the movie is limited.

Based on his script, if it were the era that Wu Di traveled through time, maybe it would be better to just film Wang Da.

It is estimated that it can attract a lot of investment.

But going directly to theaters is indeed a bit of a hassle.

The main thing is that not many investors are optimistic about such a subject matter. Of course, this does not mean that our theater movies do not have unpopular and uncommon ones.

But those kinds of movies often have a reason, such as public welfare, local construction, or the local government's cultural and entertainment department takes the lead in funding, mainly to promote local scenic films.

Films of this type generally do not make money, and what’s even more frightening is that in many cases, they don’t even get a single award.

When a director shoots this type of movie, he is completely making a contribution and dedicating himself.

However, Labyrinth does not belong to this category. In terms of broad classification, although it is visible to the naked eye as a low-cost film, it is also a commercial film.

Yes!

Although we don't want to admit it, Our Labyrinth is really a commercial movie, although it may not necessarily make money.

After all, it is classified as a suspense film.

No matter which country or region it is classified into, suspense films are commercial films, so for Maze, it also shoulders a part of the function of making money.

Therefore, it is understandable why the popular suspense films on the market are mainly set in cities.

Although it sounds ugly to say it, it is actually true. Which audience is looking forward to a rural-themed suspense film released in the cinema?

There are really only a few answers, okay!

If Xiao Qi plans to shoot a pure drama with a rural theme, it might be more marketable than a suspense film.

For example, "Dong Ju's Lawsuit" or something like that.

The combination of suspense films and rural backgrounds gives people a sense of a combination of earthy and foreign, and a mismatch. I always feel that when these two forms are mixed together, there is a sense of being neither Chinese nor foreign.

However, Xiao Qi is still very persistent.

Although everyone said that such a choice of materials was inappropriate, he still wanted to maintain the core of the story.

This is actually a kind of risk. As the saying goes, high risks can lead to high returns.

This is what Xiao Qibo did too.

If some subjects that no one is optimistic about are successfully filmed in his hands, he will be the first to take advantage of them. In the future, more investors will see his strength.

Similarly, relatively speaking, this kind of country-type suspense film will save a lot of investment. Once successful, it will also be a typical example of a small gain.

Although it is definitely the most satisfying to start shooting a commercial blockbuster from the beginning, once it fails, the consequences will be quite unbearable.

Maybe I won’t be able to get up for several years!

Not to mention making movies, I'm afraid I won't even be able to shoot commercials.

Xiao Qi is not stupid. Although he is very stubborn in selecting materials, he has actually made risk predictions. For this kind of small and medium-cost film, whether it is word-of-mouth or box office, as long as it can occupy one side.

To be more clear, Xiao Qi still has a clear understanding of himself.

The possibility that his movie will be a box office success is extremely low, but it is very likely that it will get a good reputation.

After all, the quality of a movie is personally controlled by the director. As long as the director's requirements are high and not superficial, the quality of the movie can be guaranteed to a certain extent.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But at the box office, the audience votes with their feet.

It’s about asking the audience to pay real money, real money, isn’t it?

For this kind of thing, no matter how well the publicity is done and how thorough the preliminary preparations are, whether it can win the approval of the audience is not the director's final say.

If the audience says yes, then it is really good. If the audience doesn't approve, the more you prepare in advance, the easier it will be for the money to go down the drain.

Therefore, in Xiaoqi's case, he actually does not have high requirements for the box office.

Wu Di was introduced. Although he took away some of the authorship rights, he also promised a large amount of investment. With these investments, it can at least ensure that the filming can proceed smoothly.

Don't forget that in this movie, the only one with the most appeal is Wu Di. Compared to Wu Di, director Xiao Qi is too mediocre.

However, even Wu Di's appeal is extremely limited. After all, he has no accumulation of works yet.

If it were not for the determined Ms. Lan and her unique vision, if it were anyone else, many investors would hesitate a bit when seeing such a lineup.

The possibility of running away halfway is very high, but Ms. Youlan can rest assured.

From this perspective, Wu Di and Xiao Qi can be regarded as running in both directions.

Xiao Qi needs money, and Wu Di needs fame.

Of course, if there is no system to interfere here, Wu Di does not necessarily have to cooperate with Xiao Qi. After all, he only needs to make a film, whether it is a movie or a TV series.

He has many choices.

And what about Xiao Qi?

He was not so relaxed.

After all, the movie Labyrinth has its own limitations, and it's not easy to find a reliable investment.
