Super Island Tycoon-Chapter 484 - 483: Remuneration

Inviting these actors to make a movie is no small expense, which also shows the film company's confidence in holographic films.

They believe that the films produced by their company can recoup that massive investment by using this new mode of holographic films.

These movie companies all want to jump on the holographic film craze and make a fortune at the box office.

Upon hearing the news of these films starting production, the fans were overjoyed.

Thinking about soon being able to see so many blockbusters, the fan community began to look forward to it.

Not to mention that these blockbusters are all holographic films, which makes them even more excited.

While the filming is bustling on the Hollywood side, Jiang Cheng couldn't sit still.

If he cannot decide on a director soon, even if computer effects can save a lot of time, Jiang Cheng's film might not be able to meet the schedule.

It's known that filming is not a simple task, the preliminary preparations alone take a long time.

One might say that from the decision to start filming to the actual shoot, a long period of preparation is required.

And these preparations typically need the director's decision, such as preparing costumes and props, as well as selecting the cast, all of which require the director to decide.

Now, Jiang Cheng doesn't even have a director, let alone tackle the preparatory work.

Hollywood had already prepared for filming long ago, and upon receiving the technology provided by Jiang Cheng, they immediately began the filming work.

If Jiang Cheng doesn't speed up, the title of the first holographic film might end up with others right before his eyes.

Of course, Jiang Cheng wouldn't let such a thing happen, so he came up with a way to select a suitable director.

Since Jiang Cheng is not very familiar with Huaxia directors, he dared not make hasty judgments.

Why not change the perspective and let directors come to find him instead of Jiang Cheng looking for them.

Jiang Cheng could have directors who are interested in filming this movie come to meet him and communicate their filmmaking ideas in the meeting.

Although Jiang Cheng isn't well-versed in filmmaking, he can still discern a director's true talent through meetings.

As long as enough directors take the initiative to find Jiang Cheng, he can select suitable candidates.

Previously, because the director selection had not been confirmed, Jiang Cheng had not announced his plans to make a holographic film.

This time, Jiang Cheng plans to announce the news first, and as long as he mentions that the director selection has not been finalized, there will definitely be a lot of directors approaching him.

Jiang Cheng is prepared to invest a large amount of money in this film, with a budget that can be said to be unlimited, which is sure to attract many directors.

Moreover, this is the latest holographic film, which countless directors dream of having such an opportunity.

Those directors with dreams will surely be tempted, as such an opportunity is extremely rare.

And Jiang Cheng's purpose is to attract those dream-chasing filmmakers, while directors merely seeking profit are entirely unwelcome here.

In Jiang Cheng's view, a person who becomes a director must first have sufficient dreams.

In Jiang Cheng's opinion, those without dreams are not worthy of making movies.

Jiang Cheng believes that the reason why exceptional films rarely emerge in the Flame Country is because many directors with dreams don't get enough opportunities.

While those who can consistently make movies are a bunch of mediocre people whose eyes are only on money.

It is impossible for such people to make good movies; they make films only for money, not to fulfill their dreams.

These people occupy a large number of filming opportunities, which is why the Flame Country's film industry shows no improvement.

This time, Jiang Cheng wants to give those dream-chasing filmmakers a chance to pursue their dreams through filming, which is also an opportunity for the entire Flame Country film industry to rise.

Quickly, a piece of news appeared in major media across the country, immediately capturing everyone's attention.

Jiang Cheng, the genius scientist of Demon Level and CEO of Cosmic Umbrella Company, is surprisingly preparing to venture into the film industry by investing in making a film.

This matter astonished many people because Jiang Cheng, in their opinion, is not the kind of person willing to invest money in making films.

In their minds, if Jiang Cheng invests in some new technology or high-tech project, it's understandable—those are high-end things.

If one day news announced Jiang Cheng was preparing to invest in a plan to migrate to Mars, no one would find it odd because that is the impression Jiang Cheng has left.

But investing in films is something totally unexpected for Jiang Cheng.

To everyone, investing in films—such a low-end matter—is something Jiang Cheng would disdain to do.

Normally, only nouveau riche wanting to mingle with starlets would do that, not someone as cool and composed as Jiang Cheng.

What surprises people even more is Jiang Cheng's massive budget, directly planning to make a holographic film.

Just the fact that it's a holographic film isn't shocking since the technology is his; using it himself is quite normal.

What truly astonishes everyone is that the initial investment in the movie is set at 1 billion RMB.

Jiang Cheng also mentioned that if the shooting funds aren't enough, he is willing to increase the investment volume further.

Such a huge input utterly shocked everyone because it's a whole 1 billion RMB!

Spending so much money just to film a movie seems overly extravagant.

Many people find it hard to believe that making a movie would need as much as 1 billion RMB.

Though big-budget Hollywood movies commonly have budgets in the range of hundreds of millions of US Dollars, which convert to several billion RMB.

But the cost of filmmaking in Hollywood is far greater than that in the Flame Country.

The costs for props, costumes, venues, equipment, and staff are all significantly higher than those in the Flame Country.

Not only are these miscellaneous expenses more expensive, but the actors' salaries, a major part of the film's budget, are much higher than in the Flame Country.

Currently, a top-tier Hollywood actor can command up to 20 million US Dollars per film.

Yet, the most demanding Flame Country actor doesn't request such a high fee comparatively.

This is just the cost for star-level actors, not to mention the astronomical salaries for supporting cast. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The expenditure on actor fees alone in a Hollywood film is many times higher than that of the Flame Country film industry.

Thus, Jiang Cheng's film budget is truly astounding; an investment of 1 billion RMB in Hollywood is equivalent to at least over 500 million US Dollars.
