In everyone's mind, how much does it cost to shoot a movie? Millions? How many hundred million? The answers vary. With the increasing remuneration of actors over the years, in everyone's impression, a film, especially a movie, has to spend tens of millions, after all, the star's salary is worth this money. For example, Zheng Shuang's 160 million film remuneration, if you are looking for Zheng Shuang to make a movie, how can the investment be less than this number?
Then if you add some special effects, hundreds of millions of dollars have to be invested. "Chosin Lake" invested 1.3 billion yuan, invited several film emperors, and more than 70,000 people performed in groups.
But this science fiction movie "Parallel Forest" only took 1 million to shoot, why is it so cheap?
First of all, let's introduce the composition of the personnel, the main actors are three, and there are not many group performances. The director and the screenwriter are the same person, with a total investment of one million, which is basically used to recruit teams, hire actors, and use fees for renting venues, while the shooting cycle only takes twenty days, which is also because it is really unaffordable.
Although the total investment cost of the film is only one million, the quality of the filming is still decent, and the story is about a young mother who is disheartened because of the loss of her son, and when she comes to a mysterious forest, she opens the wireless travel through time and space. In different parallel spaces, he met husbands and brothers with different personalities, and thus encountered various dangers.
In order to be able to stop crossing, she came to the conclusion that she killed herself in a certain space and took her place, living in that identity, but because of her good heart, she did not succeed, which made her nightmares continue to reincarnate.
There are many other plots commonly used in movies in the movie, so it is also ridiculed by netizens as the plot is old-fashioned, and it has been guessed at the beginning of the plot. But because of the small cost, there are not many actors, it is good to be filmed like this, the story is also wonderful, and the audience with three to four stars on Douban is the most.
It is also because the story is good, so it was selected by Hollywood film and television companies to prepare a remake of the work, and preparations have begun.
"Parallel Forest" is a science fiction movie with a Douban score of 6.5 points, which was recently released in a movie theater and was released for six days, with a total of 180,000 box office. In fact, this movie has only been scheduled in some movie theaters, and the number of films is very low, so the box office of the film is not high.
Another reason is because "Parallel Forest" was broadcast online as early as 2019, which is a big movie and is now back on the shelves. This wave of reverse operations is also admirable, and the reason why there is such an operation is because zheng Lei, the director and screenwriter, has had influence over the years.
Zheng Lei called the screenwriter Thor on the Internet, very famous on the video website, relying on this influence also recognized some theater friends, it is precisely because of this, his wish finally came true. In the past, this movie, on the online network platform, the staff are disgusted, in the network is not good, and now it is online theater, has far exceeded most of the network.
When the film was released, some of Zheng Lei's friends in Hollywood also sent him video congratulations, including the screenwriter who adapted "Parallel Forest".
Through the performance of "Parallel Forest", we can draw a conclusion that good movies will always be appreciated, and even if the film investment is not enough, as long as the director, actors, and staff are careful, they can still make good works. A science fiction movie with a million dollars can achieve such results, and what excuse do those bad movies that invest hundreds of millions of dollars have to make excuses?
