After all, this was Netflix at its peak, with a market value of over US$200 billion.

It can be said that Chen Jingxing has a clear conscience in his position as chairman of the jury in the past two years. After all, the film festival cannot be significantly improved by relying on a few big-name international directors.

On the contrary, DreamWorks has fallen into some decline in this subject after the military action trilogy. Not to mention mid-to-low-cost biographical movies like "Li Yannian" - military movies with a cost of 150 million are not in Fu Sheng's eyes at all.

inside.

This news is also quite shocking. Space science fiction dramas have always been a patent of the other side of the ocean. After all, this type of drama has extremely high requirements for the production level and investment of the film industry.

The budget for "Death on Mars" initially had two versions, one was to reduce the special effects shots by 300 million, and the other was to restore most of the story scenes to 500 million - because the big screen was not considered, IMAX lenses were not used, and

Rather than shooting with 3D cameras, using the virtual production technology of our own film and television base that has been built can indeed significantly reduce costs.

However, the audience for science fiction-themed dramas is much smaller. Even the phenomenal "The Walking Dead", "Person of Interest" and "The Beginning" at the beginning of this year still lag behind the popular ancient puppets in terms of broadcast volume.

It can be said that most of the production costs were recovered by Netflix.

"Oh, that's incredible. The last time Director Feng made a TV series was more than 20 years ago, right? This is a good sign. Domestic TV series are becoming more and more high-quality."

Moreover, through the competition of gift films, Beijing Film has a tendency to catch up from behind.

Jingying took over the task of the Battle of Jincheng. After filming "King Kong River", it is not surprising that it would take advantage of the opportunity to shoot the highlight of the Battle of Jincheng - the surprise attack on the White Tigers.

Fu Sheng's smugness and pride had all been wiped away.

But huge investment is still the biggest obstacle.

"Except for DreamWorks, current online dramas are indeed a bit rough, and the artistic level is not high enough. We at Beijing Film Academy are also preparing to learn from DreamWorks and create high-quality online dramas with a movie quality. Film artists' descending to earth will also benefit the audience.

Without Sun Li and Deng Chao, why would the TV station go crazy and spend hundreds of millions on a 20-episode science fiction suspense drama?

""Surprise Attack on the White Tigers"?"

Even "1951", directed by Chen Jingxing himself, is divided into two parts. As far as he knows, the cost, cast and scenes are not big. It seems that there are only two male protagonists, Zhang Ruoyun and Bai Yu. Unlike "The Eight Hundred Revelation"

", "King Kong River" is not a movie of the same scale as it seems.

There may be room for other small and medium-budget films or films with other themes.

It is impossible for any TV station to buy it at a high price.

"Mr. Fu, you're too polite. Everyone said that I was acting for personal benefit, bringing the smell of copper to the art palace, and even turning the Shanghai Film Festival into the DreamWorks Film Festival. If I continue for another year, I'm afraid I'll be scolded to death.

."

The total cost of the two "1951" movies was only 700 million, and "King Kong River" alone had this budget.

Out of fear and research on the live-action version of "Aquila Warrior" filmed by DreamWorks, he also bit the bullet and watched a few episodes of the original animation.

Fu Sheng is indeed very proud. DreamWorks is known as the icebreaker of Chinese commercial films. It has not only pioneered science fiction films, space films, and animated films, but is also a leader in military action films, with brilliant achievements.

Coupled with the relatively mature development of other copyrights, it is not difficult to cover costs or even make a fortune.

"It's true that military-themed movies are difficult to make. It's not easy to make them. However, DreamWorks is a pioneer on this road. There are still many things that we, Beijing Film Academy, need to learn from."

This means that "1951" will definitely miss the National Day release.

Fu Sheng chuckled and said: "The sequel to "King Kong River" was originally assigned to the Battle of Jincheng. When Director Guan was filming "King Kong River", I asked Liang Hui to write the script for "Assault on the White Tigers". Li

The bureau and superiors were very satisfied with it and asked us to start filming immediately. It would be best to release it in time for the Spring Festival next year. Alas, time is tight."

"Haha..." Chen Jingxing couldn't help but admire the thick-skinnedness of the head of Beijing Film Academy.

On the other hand, other countries in East Asia, especially South Korea, are not as good as China in exporting non-idol dramas and TV series. To be precise, DreamWorks.

It is not that there are no dramas in China that invest hundreds of millions. Putting aside the water content, these huge investments can be diluted by more episodes. In fact, the average cost of a single episode is not high, and more episodes can sell more.

price.

Chen Jingxing raised his eyebrows. It turned out that this guy was here to demonstrate.

"Don't blame me for being presumptuous, Mr. Chen. I think "Li Yannian" shouldn't be moved to the end of the year? Such a good summer schedule is still suitable for more heavyweight movies.

Of course, this is also to make money for Jingying. After all, if you lose the bet with Jingying, you can't be idle.

My wife is in South Korea these days. She called me yesterday and told me that the Korean media had also reported on the opening of this year’s film festival. She even said that many young Koreans came to the country to attend the opening film screening. Director Chen’s

The contribution is obvious to all.”

But considering that this story has been preceded by Zhu Yu, there are not only Peking Opera adaptations but also movie adaptations.

However, starting from last year's "Eight Hundred Revelation", Jingying Film has begun to catch up. It was his wisest decision to let Guan Hu make a military-themed movie. DreamWorks has Guo Fan, and Jingying Film also has Guan Hu.

So what if a gift film or military blockbuster wins over DreamWorks?

In the field of Chinese science fiction films and commercial films, DreamWorks will always be the shining pearl.

All this is an example.

Even if Fu Sheng, who is approaching his sixtieth year, is not interested in such movies, as someone who has been immersed in the film and television industry for decades, he will not be able to understand what kind of movie can be a hit, and whether the audience is attracted by it at this moment.

It arouses adrenaline and I don’t know what the audience will like.

There was no doubt that even if the movie in front of him lasted only a few minutes and the plot did not even unfold, he could also be absolutely sure that the Chinese audience would not be able to resist this kind of movie.
