Chapter 210 A Teachable Young Man
”Mr. Li can resume updating!”
”Emperor of Prophecy, is your face swollen? We are all waiting for you to smash the machine!”
”This time I voted to smash the 150,000 RED. Do you have any objections?”
”…”
In addition to leaving messages under the samples shared by these users, netizens also went to Li Chen’s video to urge him to update.
However, Mr. Li has disappeared and has no plans to post reviews of Tongwu again.
However, even without Mr. Li, there are other digital UP hosts, and most of the UP hosts, after in-depth professional evaluations, give Tongwu’s evaluations, which are basically comparable to RED’s SCARLET-W.
Well-known digital review blogger Film and Television Tornado commented in his ending:
”China finally has its own movie camera!”
”From Tongwu’s current performance, its application range is very wide, from movies and TV series to TV programs, promotional films, commercials and documentaries, and from video self-media to weddings and other fields. As long as it is a video, it can be used almost everywhere, especially in the fields of self-media and weddings, and even has a complete overcapacity!”
”Therefore, I think that in the future, equipment will no longer be a limitation for film and television practitioners to exert their strength. It’s time to really compete with the ‘head’ behind the equipment!”
After watching the review video of Film and Television Tornado, Li Chen just laughed.
To be fair, their evaluation is also very professional, but their sensitivity to the market feels even worse than his.
Although consumers and digital reviewers, including Li Chen himself, are very amazed by the performance of this Tongwu, and they praise it in various ways,
But Li Chen thinks that whether Tongwu can really enter the high-end film and TV drama market may still be questionable.
After all, professional crew shooting still has high requirements for the stability of the equipment, and no crew will really take the risk to try to use it in the short term.
Moreover, using a micro single camera to shoot theater movies is likely to make the arrogant film workers feel that it is not cool enough…
When the Canon 5D2 came out, the situation was actually similar.
At that time, everyone also highly affirmed the video performance of this SLR, but the final result was that even those who shoot commercials disliked SLRs, let alone those who shoot movies.
Using a group of wedding photographers to shoot weddings to shoot movies? How embarrassing it would be if it got out.
Thinking of this, Li Chen suddenly came up with an idea and turned to Xiong Feng and asked: “What do you think about us using Tongwu to make a theater movie?”
”Ah?”
Xiong Feng and Li Yong were a little behind Li Chen’s train of thought.
“A cinema movie? Can we make that?”
”Why not?” Li Chen counted on his fingers and analyzed, “Think about it, our “Wu’an” has to be remade anyway, so why not be bold and go straight to the cinema?”
”And after this period of filming and revising, the length of “Wu’an” is already 35 minutes before it is finished, which is far beyond the original 20-minute short film expectation. This is because we have deleted every shot, so when it is really finished, it should be at least 50 minutes, right?”
”A cinema movie is generally 90-120 minutes. If we make major changes to the original script according to the cinema’s standards and add more flesh and blood to turn it into a serious feature film, the content and length will definitely not be a problem!”
After listening to Li Chen’s analysis, both of them felt that it made sense.
But they were a group of college students who had only shot a few experimental short films and had no experience in making cinematic movies. Just thinking about it made them feel unreliable.
And…
”Where does the money come from? The standard for making cinematic movies can’t be the same as that for making documentaries. Movies are very expensive… Even if your family is rich, it will be a big loss if the box office fails, right?”
Li Chen immediately laughed: “Then you underestimate me.”
He took out his mobile phone and called his mother.
Although Li Chen’s grandfather is an academician of aerospace and his father is engaged in large-scale shipbuilding, in fact, the combined income of the two is not even a fraction of his mother’s.
Li Chen can be so generous, it is entirely the confidence given by his mother.
Because his mother is engaged in ocean shipping group.
In other words, his mother is the party A who buys ships from his father! “Fifty million? To make a movie?? “ No matter how much Liang Zhen indulged Li Chen, she was shocked when she heard her son asking for 50 million to make a movie.
”No!” Liang Zhen immediately shook her head and rejected it, “You are about to graduate from college, why are you still so playful? It’s fine to do reviews and smash machines before, but now you’re smashing movies?”
It’s not that she can’t afford the money, but she thinks that Li Chen can’t develop the bad habit of not treating money as money.
”Mom, you don’t understand me! How can making a movie be called playing? I studied photography, and there are many photographers who have turned to directing. The most famous example is Director Zhang. So I’m not wasting my studies, but it’s a reflection of my high enthusiasm for learning.”
”And the money I spent on the equipment was all earned by shooting videos, and I didn’t spend the pocket money you gave me. At most, I didn’t make much money. ”
“The last movie I’m going to make is a story based on Dr. Kang. It has extremely important and far-reaching significance for the ideological and cultural construction of our country, so you have to support me this time!”
“…”
Hearing Li Chen’s righteous words, Liang Zhen was speechless for a moment.
After a moment of silence, Liang Zhen finally said, “30 million, no more.”
“Ah, mom is the best!”
Li Chen was overjoyed. His psychological expectation was actually 20 million, and he quoted 50 million just to bargain for his mom.
“30 million is 30 million! Please rest assured, Mr. Liang, Xiao Li will cherish the opportunity Mr. Liang gave me, and repay Mr. Liang’s trust in me with the most explosive box office. ”
”…”
Liang Zhen couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
She had no intention of taking back the 30 million she spent.
Li Chen had been living too comfortably under their protection. They wanted to let him feel what failure was, so that they could have an excuse to educate him in the future.
After hanging up the phone, Li Chen looked at Xiong Feng and Li Yong, who had been dumbfounded, with a proud look.
”3…30 million?”
”Yes, we can go ahead and shoot!”
”Fuck, how rich is your family? !”
”Damn, I really want to kidnap you!”
”…”——Dongyang, Datang Heavy Industry.
”Shoot me? ”
When Kang Chi received a call from Li Chen asking for his consent, he was also very surprised.
“Yes, but the cinema movie is not a documentary after all, so it is just based on your story and undergoes certain artistic processing. It does not mean that your story will be restored or you will be required to star in it.”
“We have tried to shoot documentaries before, but that did not involve business, so we did not bother you to ask for your consent. But this time it is going to be released in theaters, and I think it is better to ask for your consent.”
“Oh…”
Thinking that his story could be adapted into a movie and shown to the whole country, Kang Chi couldn’t help but feel a little embarrassed…
“Well, do you have enough money?”
“It should be enough. I have raised 30 million in investment!”
“Only 30 million?” Kang Chi immediately shook his head and said, “How can 30 million be enough? What if the effect is not good and the brand image of me and Daqin Optics is damaged? ”
Li Chen was stunned, not understanding what Kang Chi meant…
”Well, my assistant happened to be a senior film producer, I’ll ask her to help you check it later. If the money is not enough, we can invest some money. Anyway, we must not limit your room for creativity because of the budget, and end up making a bad movie. The big scenes must not be saved. Do you understand what I mean?”
Li Chen nodded quickly: “I understand, don’t worry, I guarantee that this movie will be full of momentum and touching, and inspire more people to learn from your scientific research spirit!”
Well, Kang Chi nodded with satisfaction.
