When "Fantasy Forest" did not enter the dubbing stage, Lin Ping made two major investments in a row.

The first investment was directly invested in 100 movies from relevant domestic universities.

These universities include Beijing Film Academy, Central Academy of Drama, Shanghai Film Academy, Military Art, etc.

Due to the cheap prices in the mainland and the exchange rate with the Hong Kong dollar, the budget for each movie given by Lin Ping is RMB 3 million.

However, it is converted into Hong Kong dollars, which can be considered a major investment of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

In a mature commercial market like Hong Kong City, investment of tens of millions of dollars is rare, let alone in the mainland environment.

When the leaders of four colleges and universities heard the call from their superiors, they were shocked one by one. No one could believe whether what they heard was true or false.

"Old leader, this joke is not good!" The dean of Junyi responded to the news that the old leader had just told on the phone.

"Can this be fake? Do you think I'll make such a business joke with you?

Lin Ping is the largest capitalist in our country.

Now he has invested in the cultural industry, saying that he wants to bring Chinese culture to the whole world.

Look, tens of thousands of cinemas in China have been bought by their company.

I heard that it cost tens of billions of RMB, which is a big deal of astronomical figures.

Although Lin Ping's slogan was yelling loudly, saying that if Chinese culture was promoted to the whole world, capitalists were essentially trying to make money.

Now he has tens of thousands of cinemas in his hands, so he always needs to shoot more new movies to show.

To put it bluntly, it is to make more movies to make money.

Boss Lin gave you the quota for 25 films in Military Art, and the investment for each film is RMB 3 million.

The superiors have decided that our Bayi Film Studio will cooperate with you to complete this task.

Boss Lin said it very clearly that his 3 million yuan was a one-time buyout of the contract.

All copyrights involved in the movie will belong to them, and the other party requires that the shooting of these 25 movies must be completed in two years.

There is no limit on the subject matter, no limit on the type, and they do not review the script, just hand in the film on time.

However, the other party finally said that the investment in these 25 movies will be related to future cooperation between the two parties.

If the 25 videos were all average, we would probably not have such a big cooperation in the future." The leader said the matter in great detail on the phone.

When the dean heard this, he suddenly became excited.

Although Military Art is not a film academy, it has also cultivated a large number of artists and talents, and has also filmed a large number of literary and artistic programs and TV series.

This time with the cooperation of the Bayi Film Studio, wouldn’t everyone be like a tiger with wings?

"Don't worry, leader, making movies is not our expertise, but writing scripts and performing talents is our expertise.

This time we are responsible for the script and the actors, and the film studio is responsible for making the script into a movie.

I believe that in two years, I will definitely hand over a perfect report card.” When the dean said this, he was actually unsure.

After all, the leader just said that these 25 movies are related to future cooperation.

This kind of task with obvious indicators is not so easy to complete.

Moreover, 25 movies have to be filmed in two years, and one movie will be completed per month on average.

There is no problem with me. There are a large number of screenwriters and enough actors in the school.

Although most of these actors are drama actors, they are still a little unfamiliar with big screens like movies.

But overall, there should be no big problem.

The biggest problem now should be the Bayi Film Studio, according to previous hearings.

It takes half a year for the Bayi Film Studio to make movies every time, and even make a movie in two or three years.

With such a meticulous and exquisite work attitude, 25 works will be filmed within two years. Will this not be able to complete the task?

Even if you can complete the task, will there be moisture in it?

However, the dean also understood that this is something that the studio should consider.

This has nothing to do with him, and he doesn't have that long hand to manage the affairs in the studio.

At this time, just as the Dean of Military Art was happily taking over the task.

The leader of the Bayi Studios just hung up the phone.

At this time, he was not as relaxed and comfortable as the Dean of Military Art.

Although this shooting task is not the specified content, it is a free choice and free answer.

Just complete these 25 homework within two years.

Although 25 movies have a sky-high capital of 75 million, the studio has never been so generous.

By 1991, the "Great Battle" trilogy only invested 100 million yuan. The average investment in each movie was only 33 million yuan.

You should know that this movie was an extra who brought 130,000 soldiers to be an extra. Such a large-scale and large-scale movie will never be surpassed even in 2022.

At this time, the investment of 75 million yuan for 25 movies was definitely the largest budget since its establishment.

After all, for some art films, these 25 movies may not be able to invest 500,000 yuan in the entire movie.

"Lao Xu, don't want your wife!" This is a classic line from the classic movie "The Wrangler".

This is a literary film with an investment of only 300,000 yuan and a final box office of 130 million yuan.

For this era of lack of entertainment, it is not an exaggeration to achieve anything.

After all, a movie ticket worth 5 cents is for many employees and families who are over 30 yuan.

This is perhaps the lowest cost entertainment.

Inviting several friends to go to the movies together, it's only a few cents.

Even a pair of male and female employees in love can only only cost three yuan a month when they go to the movie every day.

In that era when TVs were not yet popular, I really couldn't find a second entertainment method that was more suitable than watching movies.

In the 1980s, driven by the 5-cent ticket price, the box office of several movies exceeded 100 million.

"Shaolin Temple", "Love in Lushan", "405 Murder", "The Mysterious Big Buddha", "The Legend of the White Snake", "The Wrangler" and "Furong Town" are all legendary blockbusters with over 100 million yuan.

With a ticket price of 5 cents, you need at least 2 billion tickets to reach a box office of 100 million yuan.

The population in the 1980s had just reached 1 billion. Judging from the performance data, at least the national population needs to buy two tickets to achieve this record.

And here, not all populations can enter the cinema.

In addition, when watching movies in remote rural areas, it is simply free to watch movies in the open air.

In the end, I want to reach a box office of 100 million.

The urban population contributed at least 4, 5, or 10, and it was not a rare experience.

In that era of lack of entertainment and no imported movies to watch, even Hong Kong City movies could not be brought closer.

There are movies to watch in the cinema, which is quite satisfying, and there is no way to care about what kind of movie it is.

In addition, in this era, many movies were tribute films.

All require high-quality crafting, and the length of time is likely to be one or two years or even more.

During the same period, there were only a few domestic manufacturers who could shoot movies.

Under the operation of the non-business model, everyone's funds are already pitifully small.

Of course, there was no extra money to shoot other projects, which eventually led to a very small number of movies on the market.

This also leads to the fact that after a movie is released, it is likely to be released for several years.

Even in 2022, Lushan Love is still in the air and has been released for decades.

Unlike other commercial movies, the release period is one month.

Even if you apply for an extension, it will only take two months or three months.

"The factory director, we have to shoot 25 movies in two years. Can we complete such a large workload?" When the factory director convened the meeting of the comrades in charge of the film studio, someone immediately expressed his concern after hearing the workload of 25 movies.

After all, such a workload is unprecedented.

"Let's not talk about the early shooting work, just talk about our two printing departments.

Today, the two printing departments are already busy. The films of a movie have hundreds of shots and thousands of meters of film.

Moreover, the film will be longer before editing, and may even reach a length of 3 kilometers.

If every movie has a large number of shots, the film printing department alone will be too busy." The head of the printing department immediately complained that he was short of staff.

"It's just that there is insufficient manpower to expand enrollment. Can living people still suffocate to death?

The superior leader has explained that if cooperation with the other party’s company is smooth.

From now on, there will be a large number of movies that will be found to us for cooperation in shooting.

As literary and artistic workers, in addition to completing the tasks assigned by our superiors, we should have our own pursuits and goals.
