Chapter 951 Do You Dare to Think About "Journey to the West" With an Investment of 400 Million?
The first day of "Journey to the West" premiered just after the curtain fell, and there was a monstrous wave about this drama on the Internet:
[I don't sleep when I sleep: I never thought that one day I would be able to watch a TV series as a movie! When "Journey to the West" sold such a high copyright, I thought it was Lin Fan who had finally degenerated into a qualified capital. I didn't expect that I was wrong to blame Brother Fan! 】
[Don't fight, I'm soy sauce: the soundtrack in "Journey to the West" is simply king! "Yungong Xunyin" has created a precedent for the combination of electroacoustic music, orchestra and folk music in the TV soundtrack. Appearing in the form of instrumental music, clever use of electronic drums, vividly reflects the heroic figure of Monkey King flying through the clouds, which can be described as the finishing touch! 】
[Female benefactor, please be restrained: the cast lineup is also unprecedentedly luxurious! Even the Jade Emperor, who caught a glimpse, is also a well-known actor in the entertainment industry, which makes me look forward to what big names the master and apprentice will meet on the journey to the West! 】
...
Words of praise are endless, and some netizens even went to the account of Earthman Studio to ask questions because they were curious about the production cost of "Journey to the West".
The reason why he didn't go to Lin Fan's account, but chose the studio's account, is not that the netizens dislike Lin Fan and may not be very clear about these things, but because he is worried that Lin Fan will directly say: the cost is not high, only one thousand Come ten thousand.
So what else is there to ask?
So in order to avoid being mad at themselves, the netizens directly bypassed Lin Fan and went to the studio.
The studio is very happy to interact with netizens, because this is also a kind of publicity for this drama, and it is also a publicity opportunity sent by netizens, so it should be seized.
Therefore, the studio quickly gave a positive answer:
[Earthman Studio: The TV series version of "Journey to the West" has a total of 30 episodes, with a total investment of 400 million yuan, and an average of about 13 million yuan per episode.
Therefore, in fact, "Journey to the West" is our least profitable drama, but Brother Fan said that it must be produced according to the highest requirements. We have no choice, who told him to be Brother Fan! 】
This full of doting tone made the netizens get goosebumps!
At the same time, it also made countless netizens gasp: invest 400 million!
An average of more than 13 million episodes!
The broadcast rights for the first round were only sold for 15 million episodes!
It really didn't make any money, and it only made a million or so in one episode.
But in fact, the account is not calculated like this.
Emperor Vision bought only the first round of exclusive broadcasting rights, and there will be second, third rounds, and online broadcasting rights in the future! After the three rounds of rebroadcast rights are sold, it will be released for a few years. If there are still TV stations interested in this film, Lin Fan can continue to sell it.
In addition, there are various adaptation rights, which can also make money.
At first glance, it seems that Lin Fan is at a disadvantage, but in fact, most of the netizens don't know the twists and turns here, and they are all caught up by the Earthman Studio.
Of course, the insider will not jump out at this time and accuse Earthman Studio of lying. Because they really didn't say big things, compared to other TV series with low production costs, although "Journey to the West" has a high price per episode, it is true that no other TV series makes money.
Just like the original "Legend of the White Snake", although it only sold 7 million episodes, the price is less than half of that of "Journey to the West", but its production cost is far less than that of "Journey to the West".
In such a conversion, doesn't it mean that "Journey to the West" doesn't make money?
There is nothing wrong with it.
And the news that the production cost of each episode of "Journey to the West" was as high as more than 13 million yuan also exploded the entire Internet in an instant.
[Tiansheng Yuji Wang: My god, I always thought that the quality of "Journey to the West" was comparable to a movie. It is an adjective, but I didn't expect it to be a declarative sentence! Fanfan really spent the production cost of a movie to make a TV series! 】
[Aunt Bohemian: I remember that the production cost of "A Chinese Ghost Story" was only over 10 million? The cost of the following "Blessings of Love" and "Little Shoes" is also very low, so it is generally known as the director who is best at using small things to make big things! 】
[Meng Meng rabbit: The cost of ordinary movies does not exceed 13 million, and even "Roman Holiday", excluding those two jewels, its cost is definitely not 10 million! But for a piece of "Journey to the West", Fanfan actually dropped 400 million yuan. I can only say that it was well spent! 】

One hot search after another, they were constantly pushed to the top of the rankings, and the entire Internet was boiling. Everyone was stunned by Lin Fan's generosity, and even more people were impressed by Lin Fan's talent.
Great writing doesn't mean good looks, but Lin Fan's big writing made everyone see that another classic was born. From actors to costumes and props, from special effects to real scenes, from acting skills to lines...every detail has been picked up by Lin Fan to the extreme.
It can be said that Lin Fan's version of "Journey to the West" has far surpassed the original version.
the student surpasses the master!
"Journey to the West" in the previous life, because it was filmed in the early days, the labor and props were very low at that time, so the cost was extremely low. Later, when Yang Ma wanted to shoot a follow-up episode, the cost soared ten times, and Yang Ma's teeth ached. , but was pointed out by Director Yang, what age is it, and you still want to fool people with the tens of dollars in salary?
In Blue Star's "Journey to the West", Lin Fan strives for perfection. Not only are all the supporting roles cast by professional old actors, but some important roles are even cast after the scenes. These people's salary alone crushes the total investment of some TV dramas Not to mention that the special effects of the whole show are more than ten times better than the original.
Although the special effects of "Journey to the West" back then were good, but from a modern point of view, many of them were indeed a bit rough. Poor special effects would make it appear that the sense of substitution is poor, and it is easy to skip scenes. Lin Fan wanted to make "Journey to the West" This era has become a classic again, and it can be said that it is striving for excellence in special effects. Not to mention anything else, just the somersaulting cloud of Monkey King makes people feel like the somersaulting cloud in their dreams.
If the budget is sufficient, the appearance methods and scenes of various gods will not be as small as in the original version, and the big scenes can make the gods look more magnificent, ethereal and fairy-like, and the fighting scenes will not only have a few monkeys Sun waved the flag and shouted behind him, he was the real Monkey Mountain and Monkey Sea.
Of course, if Lin Fan had to say which version of "Journey to the West" is better, Lin Fan would definitely say that the Earth version is more classic, after all, it represents the memory of several generations.
However, if Lin Fan admits that this version of "Journey to the West" is bad, Lin Fan will sneer a few times: "Brother's Journey to the West, not only copied the original version, but also invested 400 million yuan!"
