Guo Fan didn't hold back: "For the special effects in this film, I plan to benchmark against the top-tier Hollywood movies, and there will be far more special effects shots than in the previous two films, so this time the investment might exceed 2 billion."
"Such a big investment might need a box office of 6 billion to break even, so you still need to think carefully about whether you want to invest."
Hearing his words, Sun Dasheng was somewhat surprised.
It wasn't the hefty production cost that surprised him. Although a 2 billion production cost for a film is indeed unprecedented domestically, what surprised him was that this person actually told him everything so honestly?
You see, some directors won't tell you the truth.
They'll bluff to get the investment first.
Then halfway through the filming, they ask you to add more money; will you add or not?
If you don't add more, the investment goes down the drain. If you do, you pinch your nose and shell out more money.
