It really happened that everything was together. Lin Han patted his head: "To be honest, I'm writing a new script now, and I'm writing three at a time. I probably don't have time to write the script of "Breaking Out of the Galaxy"."

Li Wenyuan didn't think Lin Han was making excuses. He asked curiously: "Writing three scripts in a row, is it going to film "The Three-Body Problem"?"

"No, it's "The Matrix." Lin Han quickly explained. He didn't want his friends to misunderstand. "Now, "The Matrix" is serialized online to add more popularity to the movie and make a series of movies."

"I mean, why do you think of serializing novels online? So that's it. Some people said before that you were blinded by money and were ready to go to online novels to hunt for gold!"

Lin Han jokingly replied: "If I were to make money, I would definitely make more money when I published this novel."

Li Wenyuan did not doubt the authenticity of Lin Han's words at all. Basically, Lin Han can sell millions of copies at the lowest price. According to Lin Han's super high royalties, it is easy to make tens of millions of copies!

Now, according to the way Lin Han serialized it online, it may be less than half or less than one-third of the original income, which means that he has given up his immediate interests and put them on longer-term interests.

For the sake of the movie and giving up the opportunity to earn tens of millions of yuan, Li Wenyuan also felt from the side how much Lin Han attached to the movie "The Matrix", which is definitely not about being slutty!

"Let me do this, I think about the other real screenwriters in the circle. I will ask Director Zheng Shuping."

Li Wenyuan yawned and said, "By the way, I'm just remembering now, why am I worried? It's obvious that you have tens of millions of RMB in this movie, but the emperor is not in a hurry to be anxious. You must have an idea than me!"

Lin Han came to his senses after he said this. It was his own business for half a day. Li Wenyuan's agent signed a contract with Galaxy Entertainment, so helping him is to help him.

The two laughed at each other, and Lin Han said, "The main responsibility of "Breaking Out of the Milky Way" is Chang'e Entertainment. I can only say a suggestion to see if they adopt it."

"Anyway, I don't have to be too high with you. The box office doesn't need to be too high. It's almost done with a billion or eight billion!"

"You really dare to think about it, you can come out with a billion words."

There was a strange noise from the other end of Li Wenyuan's phone. He said anxiously: "Then let's do it for the time being. I'll talk to you again sometime."

"Then you are busy and chat back!"

After hanging up the phone, Lin Han began to face up to his novels. "Breaking Out of the Galaxy", which he invested in by his company, is also being filmed. It would be a great idea not to collide the two movies at that time.

...

A sense of urgency surged in Lin Han's heart. The film market is changing very quickly now. If you don't hold on to it, you will be eliminated.

He looked at the script he had completed and sighed and said, "Send the script to them first, and you can modify the specific ones slowly."

After talking to himself, Lin Han sent the script to Chen Jiaxuan and Miao Hong, and the script must be kept confidential.

From writing the script to the release of the movie, there are too many processes to do, so Lin Han doesn’t have much time to waste it.

When shooting such a blockbuster, it is impossible to find a few actors like "Immortality" and shoot them directly in your own room.

It takes at least three months to choose an actor and let the actors conduct martial arts training; at the same time, the crew must be established, and the crew members here may be dozens or even hundreds of people!

After finding the person, it is also crucial to determine the shooting location. Should you shoot with a ready-made place, or set up a studio yourself, take photos in Yanjing, or go to Hengdian or other places?

Post-production also requires finding a good one in advance, not to find a special effects company after finishing the filming part.

Before shooting, these special effects companies use computer modeling to assist in shooting. These are the joint efforts of prop groups and special effects companies. 100 million investment may cost 20 to 30 million to model!

For example, when bursting scenes, this is when burning money, and blockbusters basically make a separate model for a shot.

Which scenarios need to be completed and which props need to be implemented?

Many scenes are not needed to shoot one or several shots. There are thousands of shots in a movie, and such scenes are usually more than a hundred, which is not a small amount of money if accumulated!

To be honest, the shooting stage is actually the least expensive part, mainly various photography equipment, such as the pipeline bureau, the cost of three to five hundred staff members, extras, and the daily expenses of the crew, such as eating, sleeping, drinking, water, transportation, etc.

The most expensive thing is post-production, which is a bottomless pit. No amount of money is enough for special effects companies to burn!

After a simple scene and green screen shooting, special effects will be started in the later stage, synthesis of trajectories or renderings, and even the later stages of people will be directly synthesized into the scene to match the trajectory.

However, Lin Han is still looking forward to his ability to make money in this movie. At least the advertising sponsor should have a lot of money. Not to mention anything else, computers, mobile phones, windbreakers, and sunglasses can be said to be permeated with the "Matrix" trilogy. If you have a sponsorship fee of less than 10 million, don't think it will be implanted!

In fact, advertisers have always been very generous in film implantation. At the beginning, the production cost of "007: Skybreaker" was 94 million pounds, and the Heineken family sponsored $28 million. In addition, sunglasses, Sony mobile phones, Aston Martin sports car, Jaguar, Mexico Tourism Bureau, vodka, and whiskey, these advertisements made the movie recover the cost before it was released.

The most powerful salesman in history is 007. Every movie has huge revenue in advertising implantation and its effect is amazing!

Whether "The Matrix" can be better produced depends on whether these advertisers are willing to pay for their wallets. Anyway, Lin Han knows that his investment of 100 million is only enough to pay for the actor's pay and pre-shooting, and it is not enough to pay for the post-production of the three movies.

This million is purely used to shoot movies. In addition, each movie requires at least 50 million yuan for post-production. After "The Matrix 1" is released and earns money, you can use the money you earn to post-production of "The Matrix 2", so that you can continue to have a healthy cycle!

However, the risks are also very high. If the box office performance of "The Matrix 1" is not ideal, the cost of recovery is not enough to support the post-production costs of "The Matrix 2" and "The Matrix 3". Then should we give up the two films that have been filmed, or should we continue to invest in additional costs?

The reason why Lin Han dares to take such a risk is that he has enough confidence in this series of movies and may not make much money, but losses are simply impossible.

...

After Miao Hong received Lin Han's email, he first browsed the idea of ​​Lin Han's three movies shooting together and released them in batches.

Even when he was at Sony North America, he had never seen such a crazy and radical plan. He obviously only had 100 million yuan in his hand, which was like promoting the movie plan that cost more than 300 million yuan!

"A madman, he's simply a madman!"

He couldn't help but pick up the cigarette on the table, lit it with a lighter, and took a sip, and then spit out a smoke.

The smoke rose up, and Miao Hong patted the table with his hand. His mind was very messy. His boss was obviously just a writer and director, but why was his business courage much stronger than himself?

Are laymen really more motivated and not afraid of tigers when a newborn calf?

He knew that Lin Han would make big news, but he couldn't help but want to make a big fuss with him.

But his past experiences made him gradually calm down and read the script first. If the script is appropriate, he would seriously discuss the feasibility of this set-up plan with Lin Han.

The words "The Matrix" appear in the document. This read-only document requires a password to open. Miao Hong knew that this was a novel that Lin Han had recently serialized, but he didn't expect that the novel was actually for the script!

The script is different from the novel, without too much psychological description. Most of the time, the content of hundreds of words in the novel is only a simple line in the script.

Miao Hong's browsing speed is not slow at all. When he sees Trinity disappearing from the phone, when he sees Neo leaving from the matrix world, when he sees about the essence of the world, the first part is a standard science fiction blockbuster, which will make the audience feel very happy.

A person in a virtual world awakens to become a savior, and then leads the surviving human beings to resist the tyranny of the machine. With the help of high technology, the chances and necessities in philosophy, the opportunities and choices in life, the turn of fate and the awakening of human nature.

Miao Hong was very satisfied with watching it. The script was very long. After all, it was a combination of three movies. The plot became more and more interesting. The machine actually evolved like a human. Agent Smith actually had his own personal consciousness. Neo had many ex-saviors who compromised with the matrix before, and Trinity died...

The logic of the whole film is very strict and the plot is ups and downs, which makes Miao Hong unable to help but applaud!

When he finished browsing the script, he suddenly found that the sky outside had been dark and the employees outside the office had already gotten off work.

After rubbing his neck hard, Miao Hong walked to the window to let his eyes rest and relax. He whispered: "If this script is placed in Hollywood, it will definitely be snatched away by several major film companies. This talent is really amazing. Just try it, and gamble through the boat!"
Chapter completed!
