How to make a big movie with 100?

Shoot a big movie with 100? Compared with today's film industry, this is just a dream. 100 yuan can't even afford a camera.

Nowadays, the production cost of movies is millions, and special effects, teams and stars are very expensive. Compared with these big-budget movies, "100 yuan to make a movie" is nothing more than a clean stream-low (small) cost movies.

When it comes to blockbusters, many people naturally think of some movies, such as Titanic directed by James Cameron abroad and Transformers directed by michael bay.

Hero directed by Zhang Yimou, Infernal Affairs directed by Liu Weiqiang and many other films.

But the * * * nature of these films is high special effects, large-scale production, and tens of millions of special effects, even hundreds of millions of special effects expenses, but often the effect is not what everyone expects, so can low-budget movies have spring?

You have to spend a lot of money to make a big movie, but it is not necessarily a good movie. Many people can't make good movies, not because they have no money, but because they are not suitable for co-production.

In recent years, many low-budget movies have been popular, and many low-budget movies have attracted the attention of the audience.

For example, the low-budget movie Crazy Stone.

The cost is only 3 million, but it has achieved more than 30 million box office. This achievement is really not desirable in the current domestic market, but it was already very powerful in that year. Moreover, because of the shortage of funds, the whole film was shot digitally without film, which also became the director's regret.

However, the film was a box office success, winning the favor of the director, and even produced a first-line actor Bo Huang. Now he is called the 5 billion emperor, but he is just a mediocre third-line actor.

Let's talk about another low-budget movie: Buried alive, starring Ryan Reynolds.

Buried alive is a suspense thriller released by Lionsgate Film Company on 20 10. The film is directed by Spanish director Rodrigo Cortes and starring Ryan Reynolds. The film was released in Spain on September 20 10.

The cost of this film is estimated to be around 3 million, but this film won 10 nominations and 438+00 at the 25th Goya Prize in Spain in 2065, and finally won three awards: best sound effect, best editing and best original script.

There is almost only one actor, a scene, a mobile phone, a lighter and some odds and ends in the whole movie. The protagonist has been lying in a coffin that is difficult to turn over. This scene is the smallest I have ever seen! ... but the plot is very clever, which makes the audience's mood follow the protagonist's phone for a while and then put it down. There was no silence in the whole movie, and the final ending was unexpected. This is a film with low production cost, the least scenes, the least actors and the least props, but its Excellence exceeds many blockbusters.

In fact, many classic monologue movies are not too expensive, such as "127 hours" and "The Moon". Basically, there is only one character and one scene, and the cost cannot be high. It is a great challenge to tell the story interesting but not boring under such conditions (so the cost of these films accounts for more than half of the actor's salary).

Trying to shoot a blockbuster with 100 yuan is nothing more than resource integration.

Tell a good story to make up for the lack of hardware conditions such as equipment and scenery. The concept of "good story" includes content and form.

Secondly, the connotation, good movies will not lose their charm with the passage of time, and science fiction movies are not dominant in all types, because with the development of technology, many plots piled up with special effects will appear full of loopholes. Therefore, it is still the idea of eight masters in Tang and Song Dynasties-polishing your story with words to convey what you want to express.
