One thing to say, if this action movie relies on future Internet copyrights and does not rely on current income at all, this would still be the worst situation.

Although it is completely impossible to release it domestically, what if a foreign film company takes a fancy to it? Also, Xiongbaizhi Studio has established a sales channel through telemarketing. Although it is still very primitive, it can at least be sold.

How many, right? This kind of sales method is due to one of the China Entertainment movie brands that will appear in the future - midnight junk movies!

Midnight trash movie, that’s a very magical thing!

There was quite a lack of good film sources back then. There were only a few Chinese Entertainment blockbusters, and there were only ten imported Hollywood blockbusters every year. Hong Kong and Taiwan co-productions were all just a waste of money, and each one was worse than the last. The rest is

I don’t know if the so-called “mainstream movies” in the Mainland have any artistic quality, but no theater chain is willing to buy the copies.

then what should we do?

Finally, several theater chains in the south came up with an idea - we don't have any movies to show anymore, so let's make our own!

So a few smart people sat together and decided that each family would contribute hundreds of thousands to make some movies that cost only 12 million. They would show them at midnight in their own theaters. They would even invite a few has-been stars from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Anyway, it would be fine.

You won’t lose much, maybe hundreds of thousands at most!

However, unexpectedly, it is quite popular. It is almost impossible to make more money, but every midnight movie like this can earn several million.

As for the external criticism? Let’s push back!

I do admit that this is a garbage movie that is worse than a bad movie. But it contains suspense, action, gunfights, weirdness, passion, love and hatred, and maybe war (anti-Japanese drama), mythology and other things, including beautiful scenes.

, and the handsome and beautiful Bu Shaoshao made the audience eat ice cream. Basically, every element has been stuffed in for you, so that you can get everything you want. So, what else do you want from the review?

When the economic crisis hit in 2008, foreign film producers had no money, but the demand for movies was still there. So this late-night garbage film immediately went international and was sold to foreign film producers at low prices, slowly building up its own brand.

It’s still the same sentence - Huayu’s movies, even this kind of garbage movie, are more exquisite than most movies in the world!

So, don’t keep looking up, you will know some big blockbusters. Look down, it is also very difficult for those who make garbage movies. Maybe ordinary people have never heard of even the name of a garbage movie, but they

He is indeed famous in a certain field.

Of course, later on, the competition for such junk movies was also fierce, and there were a lot of investment risks. And there were various variants: some still specialized in midnight shows; some turned into online movies; there were both internal and external versions, that one

You should all know the export version; there are also those customized by foreign film producers...

The working people all over the world are actually quite pitiful! If you don’t want to go to Hollywood, you can almost only watch those Chinese Entertainment trash movies (China Entertainment blockbusters are generally extremely difficult to export due to Hollywood suppression and ideological factors, and the exports are not very good for you.

The arrangement of films is much more difficult than those junk films. As for art films, that is another sub-market).

…

So what is Rong Guang hesitating about now?

The answer is - the ideas are very rich and the reality is very skinny!

There may be no way to finish the film!

Director, producer, screenwriter, starring, acting, all these roles can be done well. But what about other aspects of the crew? At this time, the mainland is almost deserted!

Let’s talk about the equipment first. A set of camera auxiliary equipment including a stabilizer is required. This is the latest and most advanced equipment in the world. Currently, only two sets have been imported into the country.

One set is at the Beijing Film Studio, which is a big company. I asked someone about it, but it is not rented out at all. The other one is at the Shanghai Film Studio, which is also a big company. Rong Guang can't find anyone to ask. In addition, there should be one in Hong Kong.

, two sets, and I can't find the relationship to rent them either.

In the United States, it is only for sale but not for rent. This involves tariffs between China and the United States, and there is no way to rent across borders. As for the selling price? It is almost a blood-vomiting US$330,000. If the supporting engineer comes to provide guidance, an additional 5 per month will be added.

Thousands of dollars in compensation.

You know, it is indeed the latest and most advanced at present. But with the popularity of digital chips, updates are extremely fast. It will not take five or six years for this set of equipment to be completely eliminated.

In particular, the price will be greatly reduced. During the period before Rongguang's rebirth, they were all sold on Taobao. The professional level ones cost 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, and the private enthusiast level ones only cost more than 10,000 yuan. These are still soft girl coins!

To be honest, even if it is at the enthusiast level, its performance will be better than what it is now.

Therefore, only if you are crazy, you will spend this wasted money to buy it. At this moment, Rong Guang misses Mr. Han Sanping very much.

Not to mention the other things about Mr. San, he is indeed sincere about the development of China Entertainment Film. If he only asks for a visit, he will definitely rent it. If there is no such equipment, he is even willing to pay for it with China Film.

Such injustice... To support the film industry, it is true that only the leading state-owned enterprises are more suitable. Even now that the third master is still at Beijing Film Studio, some things cannot be decided. Otherwise, there would be no such trouble.

Next, let’s talk about photography. By estimation, if you want to shoot a film similar to "Hurricane Rescue", you will need at least four-camera sports shooting. In other words, you need to master the skills of high-camera shooting. And you also need a camera director, who has

Able to lead a camera crew of more than 20 people.

As mentioned before, there are only a few such camera directors in the Mainland, and they are all the royal cameramen around the director. These famous cameramen are all so arrogant that Rong Guang simply doesn’t have the face to invite them, even if he wants to spend money on them

It's no use.

As for the ones in Hong Kong...?

Do you really think that Rong Guang has no temper? One of the important reasons for choosing action movies is to slap those arrogant Hong Kong martial arts classes in the face. Therefore, at least in this film, Rong Guang will never use a character.

RTHK’s team, let alone inviting RTHK’s camera director.

But without those few people, will other cameramen from the mainland be used? Even though some cameramen are very experienced, they can shoot around with one or two cameras, or they can only shoot TV series and a few fixed camera positions.

Shooting? It’s almost all newbies, so how can they shoot?

It should be noted that this is a camera crew of more than 20 people! It is not the two cameramen in "Add a Long Lens". Even if Rong Guang is willing to teach, will he have the time? Do you still want to be a director? Do you still want to be a director?

Be a starring role?

In addition, this film must have a large crew. There are at least seventy or eighty people, or even more than a hundred people. Producers with such management experience, or just the simplest stage managers and scriptwriters, all those domestic people are in state-owned enterprises.

What about major studios and state-owned television stations? Since they are all members of the system, is it possible for them to join the crew of underground films?

As for Wuhan classes? For the same reason, they won’t be employed in Hong Kong, but only in the Mainland. There are also various other positions, and there are also not many talents from the Mainland.

Filmmaking is a systematic project that requires teamwork. You can never do it alone!
