Rebirth I can see the success rate

Chapter 72: 500 million, if you want to shoot, shoot a big production!

"Xun Qin Biography? Was it adapted from the novel by Teacher Huang?"

Lin Chen was taken aback, because this movie had just begun preparations in his original world, but it has already started shooting in this world?

"I used to turn over the original work of Teacher Huang several times. The TV series you made on Hong Kong Island TV in the past have not been recorded either." Lin Chen said with a smile.

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

"That's great." Gu Zai happily said: "In fact, this time, I just want to bring Teacher Huang's work to the big screen."

"Although the TV series had a good rating at the beginning, it had too many adaptations of the original work. This time I invested in myself to restore it to the big screen. Of course, because the original was too long, I planned to make it into a series , This time the first content is mainly about Zhao Guofengyun... By the way, the salty and wet parts in the original work will naturally be changed."

Lin Chen nodded in agreement. The Hong Kong Island TV station once put Xun Qin Chuan on TV, but because of too little investment, the details of the whole show are extremely rough. For example, Gu Zai's suit is actually still gold. Falun Gong once passed through.

The scenes in the play involving the seven heroes fighting for hegemony in the Warring States period are also taken in a stroke, and even the characters in it have been greatly deleted.

In spite of this, relying on the hard performance of the main creator, the drama version of Xun Qin Chuan is still a classic. In contrast, some people later found a new version of Xun Qin Chuan performed by small fresh meat, which was simply a disaster.

Relying on his love for the original work, Lin Chen didn't count the return, so he immediately clapped and said: "Gu Zi, just say it, how much money do you still lack for this movie?"

Gu Tsai was a little embarrassed: "The actors in this show are mainly Hong Kong Island actors. I gathered the original cast of the original version of the show. The Hong Kong Island actors are not paid as high as the mainland actors, but because I think this time It is necessary to restore the original war scenes as much as possible, so the post-production costs are very high. Before the shoot, I found that the money was not enough..."

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

"This... we have already invested 180 million in this show before. If there are 20 million Hong Kong dollars, it should be done." Gu Zai replied.

Twenty million Hong Kong dollars?

Lin Chen was stunned. It wasn't that Gu Tsai wanted too much, but felt that he wanted too little.

180 million plus 20 million, that is 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

In order to find the magnificent plot in the biography of Qin, 200 million Hong Kong dollars, even if it only involves the plot of Zhao Guo at the beginning, it is far from enough.

As the husband of the once big star Gu Luolan, Lin Chen can barely count as half of the entertainment industry.

Coupled with the experience of his previous life, Lin Chen knows very well that works like Xun Qin Chuan can only rely on big productions to make good movies.

Although he does not doubt the acting skills of the group of Hong Kong Island actors Gu Tsai, sometimes acting skills are not omnipotent. If there is no good special effects later, the final shot of Xun Qin Chuan may not be recognized by the market.

The production cost of war films is actually not less than that of sci-fi blockbusters. Like the well-known Old Three Kingdoms, the shooting cost is as high as 170 million. This is still the cost when everyone’s salary was generally only a few hundred yuan in the 1990s.

Although the original work of Xun Qin Chuan is classified as a martial arts, the war scenes in it are no less than war movies. If the cost is reduced, Lin Chen can hardly believe how big war scenes can be shot.

Thinking of this, Lin Chen let it go: In the current situation, the probability of getting the investment back is...

50%!

Sure enough...

Lin Chen sighed in his heart.

The matter and his guess were good, so it is very likely that if you continue to find Qin Chuan, you will rush to the street.

He wasn't afraid that the 20 million he invested would turn into splashes, but he was worried that Gu Tsai's efforts would be wasted.

Lin Chen took a sip of coffee and said with a serious face: "Gu Zai, tell me honestly, I will give you 20 million, are you sure that Xun Qin Chuan will explode?"

Gu Zai hesitated a little, and finally said: "Lin Sheng, I can only say that I do my best, but the Legend of Xun Qin is not a traditional martial arts. It is more like a war epic. If such a film is to pursue quality, we will now The two hundred million yuan is not enough. I discovered this when I was shooting."

"Just like the Wujia Ranch that appears in the original work, we must go to the hinterland to seek assistance from the herdsmen on the grasslands. One scene cost us 5 million. There are many other big scenes like this. We started Ambitious, but later found out that the 200 million Hong Kong dollar photo could not be shot at all. So in the end, we could only change the script, shrink the content, and develop the plot in the direction of the TV series..."

"That would make no sense." Lin Chen shook his head.

Gu Tsai fell silent as well.

Lin Chen really likes the movie Xun Qin Chuan, and he also admires the actor Gu Zai.

So Lin Chen decided to help him more.

As for how much to invest, Lin Chen has a steelyard in his heart.

Gu Tsai’s Quest of Qin, adding 100 million Hong Kong dollars to the cost, the probability of getting the investment back is...60%!

Seeing this result, Lin Chen felt a little more confident in his heart. Before investing 20 million, the probability of getting the investment back was only 50%. Now that the investment has increased by 80 million, the cost is higher, but the probability of getting the investment back is reversed. It is an increase of 10%, which shows that as long as the investment is increased, the box office of Xun Qin Chuan will definitely increase.

As for the critical point...

Lin Chen calculated many times, and finally found that as long as he invested 300 million Hong Kong dollars more, the probability of getting the investment back became 100%.

After 300 million, Lin Chen continued to increase his investment, and this probability was also increasing. When he increased to 500 million, this probability finally reached the peak of 500%!

For an investment of 500 million, the probability of recovering the cost is 500%, which is equivalent to a return rate of 5 times and an income of 2.5 billion.

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

"Gu Zai, I have decided. Since you want to make this movie of Xun Qin Biography, you should do it well. As for money, you don't need to think about it. If you don't need 20 million, I can increase my investment!

"Really? That...Lin Sheng how much are you going to vote?" Gu Tsai asked.

"I'll give you 500 million. 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 whispered: "Brother Lin, you are crazy! Five hundred million Hong Kong dollars plus their 180 million, that's almost 700 million in cost! Hong Kong Where does the film need so much money?"

Gu Zai also said: "Yes, Lin Sheng, with a cost of 700 million yuan, this can already be ranked on the list of Chinese film costs. Such a high investment, Hua Guo has never returned to the original example before."

In this world, the top three movies of Huaguo’s film investment are similar to those of Lin Chen’s last life. They are "Blood Battle Chibi", "Wolf's Totem", and "Blood Battle on the Great Wall". The cost of these three movies is more than 600 million yuan. , But they all lost a mess, especially the first-placed "Blood Wars of the Great Wall", a large production cost of 1 billion, but they even lost their pants.

There are so many failure cases ahead, so even Gu Zai himself is a little bit unsure, and he dare not accept the money given to him by others.
