Chapter 1685 The Stars (Part 2)

The budget cost of simply watching a movie is indeed not that much.

But if you look at the budget composition, you will know that the investment in the Wizarding World is not a lot, or even a bit too much.

You know, the reason why those movies are so expensive to shoot is because they choose to explode or blow up some kind of facility in order to make the effect more realistic.

Or spend huge sums of money on special effects.

The expenses here account for the vast majority, and other related expenses do not account for much.

The Wizarding World sequence of movies is different.

Because the shooting techniques are different, all scenes are shot in the virtual world. You can shoot any kind of scene you want, and the fee used is only a nominal fee.

The fee composition is different between the two.

If the virtual world is also included in the shooting cost, its real cost is not much less than that of other movies.

Even worse than that.

After the New Year, a large number of celebrities and agents went to Hangzhou to sign contracts with Xingchen Group.

There are really too many celebrities coming to Hangzhou, and this time is when many migrant workers return to their places of work. Many people find that celebrities who were difficult to meet at the airport or train station in the past are everywhere these days. visible.

And most of them are top stars.

News that a large number of celebrities appeared at the airport or train station quickly spread on a certain channel.

"I'm very lucky today. I met my idol since childhood. I went up and asked for an autograph. It fulfilled a dream I had before. Next time he holds a concert, I must go and hear it in person."

"Here I go, today is really my lucky day, guess who I met today?

Dangdangdang, I met the most popular star this year, Mr. Hu Ke.

I was lucky enough to get a signed photo of Hu Ke. "

"What day is today? Why are there so many celebrities here at the airport? I also met my fairy sister Liu Fei."

"I also met my boyfriend and got a hug. I decided not to wash this set of clothes, but to keep them. I smell like my boyfriend."

"What's going on? Is it so easy to meet a celebrity by chance now?

where are you? I'm also going to have a chance encounter. "

"You can see them at Hangcheng Airport and train stations. As long as you pay more attention to those wearing masks, you will be a big star if nothing happens."

Some enthusiastic netizens gave their own tips on how to identify celebrities when they encounter them.

In this parallel world, the event that changed the world economy did not occur.

Therefore, it is rare to see people wearing masks in public places. Only those who need to hide their identity need to wear masks, and these people often have celebrity status.

This identification method has a very high success rate.

"What happened in Hangzhou? Are there any popular variety shows being recorded over there?

I haven’t heard of any very popular variety shows recently? "

“This large number of celebrities entering Hangzhou reminds me of what happened years ago. It seemed to be the same as today. In just a few days, a large number of well-known celebrities suddenly poured in.

Later it was confirmed that it was because of director Zhang's new movie.

Is it possible that this is also the reason? "

"It does seem possible. Is Director Zhang going to make a new movie again?

We just finished filming "The Wizarding World: The Witcher Begins", it shouldn't be that soon, right? "

"It should be true. I still remember the previous promotion that Director Zhang was cooperating with Xingchen Group to shoot a movie. The movie he shot was not the one we are watching now, but another one. This movie was completely made temporarily to impact the Spring Festival movies. The movie that came out.”

"What? You told me that this movie, which has been played more than 50 billion times, was actually a temporary movie?

Isn't this too exaggerated? "

"While this result is indeed hard to believe, it is the truth."

"According to this, it is very likely that these stars came to Hangzhou to shoot the previous movie.

Apart from Director Zhang's movies, there should be no other program that can attract so many stars.

Not even the hottest variety show right now.

In the past two or three days, there have been too many celebrity schedules posted on a certain music website, which are beyond the scope of those variety shows. "

The sudden arrival of stars caused a heated discussion on a certain sound.

Everyone is speculating on the reason why so many superstars come to Hangzhou.

Some people thought of their imaginations at the end of last year, and when they thought of Director Zhang's new movie, most people's guesses were not wrong, but if you really want to calculate it, they are still a little far from the truth.

They came here to shoot director Zhang's movie, but instead of shooting one movie, they shot four movies.

It won't be long before they know the truth.

It's a pretty good gimmick to film four movies in a series back-to-back.

After finishing everyone's contracts, Zhang directed an invitation to some mainstream media.

"We cordially invite all media friends to attend the press conference for the Wizarding World film series."

As soon as the invitation came out, the invited news media immediately arranged for their best reporters to go to Hangzhou to attend the press conference.

Many people were stunned for a moment when they received the invitation.

Movie series?

Isn't it a typo?

But it doesn't seem wrong.

The upcoming movie is the second movie in the Wizarding World. It is said that it is related to the plot of the first movie, so it seems reasonable to call it a series of movies.

It’s just that some people think a little deeper.

The wording on the invitation letter should not be a typo. If it was, lightnovelpub.net~ would have reminded me to change it.

However, they did not receive any relevant notification, which meant that there was no error.

Then the word "series" is very meaningful.

Let’s take a bold guess. It’s not just one movie, but all the subsequent movies in the series.

As soon as this speculation came out, many people immediately questioned it.

"The Witcher: The Witcher Begins" was such a hit that it made sense to immediately start filming a second movie while the iron was hot.

But the shooting of the second movie has not yet started, and the result is still known. How can it be possible to shoot the third or even fourth movie?

Total nonsense.

The person who raised this suspicion was scolded by everyone and became a little unconfident, and finally hid this suspicion in his own mind.

Anyway, there will be a press conference in the morning the day after tomorrow, and it will be clear what exactly is going on by then.

A large number of invited media also rushed to Hangzhou from all over the country in order to obtain first-hand information about the press conference.
