Disaster Artist

In the industry, there are quite a few speculations about the production cost and publicity cost of "Raid 2", mainly because the crew experienced too many twists and turns in the production process:

Seven and a half million, that's the general view.

Blue Whale Pictures has not released the official figures for a long time. It seems that the alternation of the two directors Lu Qian and Qiao Fuyong has indeed caused confusion in the cost support of the crew, which needs to be sorted out slowly. Channels make different judgments.

Numbers of five million, nine million, fifteen million, thirty million, etc. are rumored, and every media outlet is pretty sure its numbers are correct.

In fact, Blue Whale Pictures has completed the final liquidation, and the production cost of "Raid 2" is indeed "overrun", and the consequences of replacing Qiao Fuyong are initially revealed:

twelve million.

Although purely in terms of numbers, Blue Whale Pictures’ highest production cost so far is still “The Lover”, but the final expenditure of “Raid 2” still exceeds the cost.

Lu Qian was very dissatisfied with this.

Not dissatisfied with the spending figures, but disrupted plans.

In terms of expenditure figures alone, the production cost of "Raid 2" is the seedling level in Lanchuan, and even the stingy Qiyang Media is more generous.

However, once the plan has been made, it must be carried out according to the plan, otherwise why make the plan in the first place?

Especially for a small company like Blue Whale Pictures, they have limited funds for their activities, and everything needs to be done step by step. A deviation may lead to a series of follow-up effects——

Among them, one thing that only a few senior executives of Blue Whale Pictures know is that Su Changting injected funds into the streaming media platform and became the start-up capital for Blue Whale Pictures to take the next step.

In this regard, Lu Qian attaches great importance to it. He does not want to spoil Su Changting's mind. If even the budget of a movie project may be disrupted, what about the planning of the entire streaming media platform? Their lack of experience and lack of confidence means that every mistake needs to be taken more seriously.

During the post-production period of "Raid 2", Lu Qian was so low in pressure that Ji Xu didn't dare to say much, and Blue Whale Films was even more silent.

Then--

"The Raid 2" exploded.

For other works, the production cost is 1 billion or 1.5 billion, and the production scale of "Dawn of Justice" has reached 1.8 billion, aiming at the box office of 10 billion.

"Assault 2" successfully broke through the 10 billion threshold with a mere 12 million. It was mediocre and easy to come by, and it seemed that there was no difficulty.

This……

It's no wonder that even Blue Whale's own staff couldn't believe it.

Compared with the box office figure of 10.3 billion, the low production cost is the most shocking part, which also means that the revenue ratio will set a new record.

However, it happened and it happened.

Despite the star-studded appearances in the summer season, "Raid 2" has already become a strong contender for the year-end box office championship.

buzzing.

The whole Lanchuan was a sensation.

Subsequently.

"World of Light and Shadow" wrote a feature article to analyze "The Raid 2".

In-depth analysis of the subjective and objective reasons for the success of this work, and the internal reasons behind the global trend of retro action movies.

The most important thing is to use "Raid 2" as a template to go deep behind the cultural phenomenon and analyze the reason why "Lu Qian" is becoming a new symbol of faith for the new generation of movie fans.

Among them, the special comment specifically mentioned Lu Qian's unbeaten myth so far. The success of each film is only a small part of what the audience sees, and the brilliance of the revenue ratio is the truly shocking essence.

According to the analysis of various data, the work "Raid 2" has brought more than 4.5 billion profits to Blue Whale Pictures, and it is still not all of them. Relying on this work alone, Blue Whale Pictures' profit benefits have already been To be able to enter the top of the pyramid and join the ranks of the seven major film companies.

In this regard, "World of Light and Shadow" proposes a very fresh and unique perspective:

"Blue Whale Pictures has been making plans for a long time, showing their ambitions that they are not willing to do so, and they have not concealed their strategies."

"From blacklist programs to retro action movies to TV drama productions, to the protection of the rights of non-contracted actors and behind-the-scenes staff, and finally, streaming media platforms."

"Now, this small company, which has only been established for two years, still has enough cash flow to promote its plan, so what are they aiming at?"

"Perhaps, it's time to pay close attention to the full picture of the blueprint at the end of the Blue Whale Pictures project."

"World of Light and Shadow" is definitely not the first to pay attention to Blue Whale's related plans, nor will it be the last, but it is certain that they are the first to pay attention to it.

In the past, Blue Whale Films did not have "power". In the final analysis, the film industry is also a capital game, and without capital, there is no right to speak.

Now, Blue Whale Pictures has quietly acquired "power", and things are completely different, but is it too late to pay attention now?

From "Dawn of Justice" to "Raid 2", from Streamer Films to Blue Whale Films, from awards season to summer vacation, the film industry has indeed ushered in a series of turbulence this year, including the frequent actions of Lion and Magic Films. It is also hinting that a storm is brewing.

But no one knows when it will come.

rustling!

vigorous!

In this way, "Assault 2" repelled "Dawn of Justice" with an earth-shattering gesture, landed in Lanchuan, and caused waves of aftermath——

"First Evolution"

If the impact of ~www.novelmt.com~ tens of billions of box office is not enough, then the special report of "Light and Shadow World" is absolutely full of weight, whether it is a crazy income ratio, a step-by-step layout, or a cumulative influence over time , every word and every sentence is heavy.

They all looked at each other.

As a result, Blue Whale Pictures once again stood under the spotlight, surrounded by countless scorching sights, almost melting the company building.

However, Xiu Zhongjun had only one thought—

What about "Deadpool"?

What about "Deadpool"?

The box office performance of "Raid 2" was so good that Lions Pictures and Damen Pictures extended their olive branches. Not only did the original related cooperation projects progress smoothly, but they also continued to open up the situation to carry out in-depth cooperation discussions. Everything is going according to plan, but , "Deadpool"?

Originally, "Dead Servant" carried an unimaginable amount of pressure. Some people had a malicious attitude and wanted to see if Lu Qian could make a flower. Some people had a good show attitude to see what "Dead Servant" could bring. What's new, some people unconditionally trust Lu Qian with a pure expectation mentality.

Pressure, layer upon layer, constantly overlapping.

"Raid 2" has become a benchmark unintentionally, and the pressure that has already been shaky has continued to increase.

Xiu Zhongjun felt that his heart was about to burst open.

It's not because Xiu Zhongjun doesn't believe in Lu Qian - he still has 100% confidence in Lu Qian, but because "Deadpool" is a hot potato, and other crew members don't want Lu Qian to be so calm. If you are not careful, there may be problems in the shooting process.

"Deadpool" is not "Raid 2", and once there is a deviation, the cost is unpredictable.

So, what should "Deadpool" do?
