"Fengshen" is suspected of being "ejected" for not having money to pay rent

On February 6, some netizens broke the news that the crew of Wu Ershan's new film "Fengshen Trilogy" has been suspended before the Spring Festival due to rising rents and financial constraints, and has even been kicked out of the filming location, Oriental Film City. .

It is reported that the investment in this series of films is as high as 3 billion yuan, and most of the funds are spent on shooting and special effects production. Earlier, director Wu Ershan revealed in an interview that 80%-90% of the shots in the entire movie are visual effects shots, and they are of a similar level to the Gollum in "The Lord of the Rings", which can be imagined to cost a lot of money. . Wu Ershan also said, "In order to complete the project of "Fengshen Trilogy", we also set up a special effects company and hired a team of international visual effects directors. It can be seen that we have made a lot of hard work.

In fact, Beijing Jingxi Culture, the investment company behind the "Fengshen Trilogy", has invested in "Wolf Warriors 2", "Wandering Earth" and other hit movies, but it was released on the evening of January 30, 2020. It can be seen from the 2019 annual performance forecast that the company's expected loss for the full year of 2019 is 1.95 billion to 2.45 billion yuan, compared with a profit of 326 million yuan in the same period of the previous year.

Subsequently, Qingdao Oriental Movie Capital Sunac Television The Industrial Park Management Co., Ltd. issued a statement stating that the Oriental Movie Metropolis Sunac Film and Television Industrial Park received an email from the crew of the production crew on January 13, 2020, informing Sunac that the crew has ended the filming plan and voluntarily asked to leave. The article misleadingly “is kicked out of the Oriental Movie Capital.” In addition, after the original contract expired, the crew signed a supplementary agreement with the Oriental Movie Capital Sunac Film and Television Industrial Park. The agreement stated that the rent would remain unchanged, and there was no mention of the article. "Price increase".
