The Long-awaited Mr Han-Chapter 3553 - 3553 Untitled
3553 Untitled
However, Han Zhuoli and Han Zhuoling always had a goal, and that was to release domestic movies overseas and show the world the meaning of true Chinese culture and energy.
It was not like the old movies. The so-called big productions and ancient-style films looked good from the outside, but after releasing them overseas, not a lot of money would be put into marketing them.
And the essence of the plot was not good; it had a decent rating domestically, but overseas, it was only average.
The locals couldn’t understand them.
And most movies with international awards were niche literature films.
Honestly, the influence wasn’t that great.
As such, Han Zhuoli and Han Zhuoling had always wanted to release a proper commercial film overseas.
They wanted to shock the world.
Now, the chance was here, and the two did not want to miss it.
Perhaps the effect might not be excellent after releasing it overseas, but it was worth a try.
If ‘Dimensions’ could not do it, then in the coming years, it would be rare to have another chance like this.
At first, Han Zhuofeng was passionate, but after thinking about the risks, he suddenly felt a lot of pressure.
“Elder brother, if it really makes a loss, I won’t know what to do,” said Han Zhuofeng.
“What do you mean?” said Han Zhuoling, “It should be us who should be stressed. We’re the ones who insisted on releasing this movie overseas, so it has nothing to do with you.”
“Anyway, if we really make a loss, then we’ll be responsible together.” Han Zhuofeng wouldn’t just hide and let his elder brothers bear the burden for him.
“Why are you joining in on the fun?” Han Zhuoli laughed.
“How is it joining in on the fun? I’m serious,” said Han Zhuofeng, “Just like in the beginning, I wanted to shoot this movie, but in my heart, I didn’t know if I could do it well. Honestly, back then, I shot the film with the mindset of making a loss.”
“You guys definitely know that I wanted to produce a popular movie despite being a greenhorn. Before the results came out and when I just started shooting, even I thought that it was a far-fetched idea, not to mention you guys.”
“However, you guys still invested in me without hesitating. Honestly, back then, you guys also invested with the mindset of making a loss, right? But you guys still invested in me…”
“Now, it’s a good thing that you guys want to release ‘Dimensions’ overseas. If it succeeds, I’ll benefit the most. However, I can’t just take all the benefits when there are benefits but escape when there are losses, right?”
“We’re family, so I can’t do that,” said Han Zhuofeng.
Han Zhuoling said, “Then, have you thought about how many people will start mocking you when you let them know that you’re going to release the movie overseas?”
“It may even be more than when they had just found out you’re filming ‘Dimensions’. That’s considered light; if your movie fails overseas, then you’ll definitely be mocked by the whole internet. Not just the netizens, even the movie teams, directors, actors, production teams, investors, and people from all over the place will take the chance to step on you.”
This time, ‘Lost Detective’ and ‘Sky Mechanical City’ were crushed by ‘Dimensions’.
Not only did the investors suffer, but the directors and actors suffered as well.
Those two movies were deemed promising by the outside world, and everyone praised their strong front and good actors.
But in the end, they became nothing but jokes.
All parties involved in both movies were embarrassed.
As such, they would definitely not hesitate to take the chance to step on Han Zhuofeng when the opportunity arrived.
“The stress that you’re facing is already enough, you don’t need to be responsible for the financial stress,” said Han Zhuoling.
“I can’t do that. Although I will be stressed, you guys who made such a decision will also bear the same stress. Anyway, we’re brothers, let’s bear it together,” said Han Zhuofeng. 𝑓𝚛𝚎ℯ𝘸𝙚𝘣𝚗𝘰νeƖ.c𝒐𝐦
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Han Zhuoling and Han Zhuoli stopped convincing him otherwise.
“Okay, then let’s treat it as the worst decision we can make,” said Han Zhuoli, “Of course, we’re not sure of the results yet.”
This matter was given to Han Zhuoli and Han Zhuoling to handle.
Of course, it needed a lot of time.
Han Zhuofeng had to use the following time to do some roadshows.
Due to the success of ‘Dimensions’, the production team’s popularity went up drastically.
Previously, Wei Wucai’s special effects company had already been in the spotlight once due to his relationship with Yan Zhiqing.
Now, after the huge success of ‘Dimensions’, movie fans started to focus on the production behind the scenes.
Then, from the credits scene, they found Wei Wucai’s company.
Ledepic More.
They found out that the special effects of ‘Dimensions’ were completely done by Ledepic More alone.
They already knew how good Ledepic More was, but through Wu Mosen’s ‘Left Right’, they still could not see the skills of Wei Wucai’s company.
This time, through ‘Dimensions’, the audience had truly seen the skills of Wei Wucai’s company.
It did not lose to those big, international special effects companies.
Instantly, the netizens praised Ledepic More heavily and began to have hope for domestic special effects.
“So our country has a special effects company that can take up the mantle, it actually isn’t like we can’t produce proper special effects.”
“What does this mean? In the past, how did movies, which cost a few hundred million, make those special effects that people could not stand to see? What did they spend their money on?”
“There are also those movies which were handled by so-called international, big special effects companies. Their special effects are so much worse than ‘Dimensions’. Is it because the price overseas is too high, so the cost of a few hundred million yuan could only afford to pay for special effects of that level or did those movies deceive us?”
The success of ‘Dimensions’ and the showcase of Ledepic More’s skill level stirred up the hornet’s nest.
Some netizens even believed that the high costs of a few hundred million yuan movies were all fake.
Did they fake the expense report, or did they not use the huge amount of investments they had received?
Otherwise, where did the money go?
Some netizens even found the production cost of ‘Dimensions’.
In total, the entire movie cost 800 million, similar to the production cost of a few big, domestic commercial films.
However, the difference was huge.
At this time, articles about the difficult shooting process of the ‘Dimensions’ team, which Lu Man made people post, became useful.
The netizens all expressed their admiration and respect.
With that, the roadshows of ‘Dimensions’ were about to go underway.
Due to the actors’ schedules, they could not gather all the main actors every time.
Yan Zhiqing was pretty free recently, so she followed Han Zhuofeng to a few cities.
Wei Wucai and Xie Jiling naturally followed along.
There were many people especially interested in the special effects and production of the movie.
During the roadshows, it was Wei Wucai who spoke the most on stage.
Some movies, which were so-called big production movies but had garbage special effects, were brought up by the netizens.
