Chen Dialogue Sina Entertainment Chen modelling elegant Chen holding Xiao Lang Chen Sina Entertainment local time February 15 afternoon, the Berlin Film Festival special screening Unit film "Zhao Orphan" production Chen Dialogue Sina Entertainment. Chen said that the current "orphan" overseas distribution is progressing well. Speaking of these years with Chen Kaige cooperation, Chen frankly, filming "The Promise" when encountered many problems, there are some grievances, "then I will be very anxious, very angry, a variety of emotions will affect your understanding, in the anxiety of the decision must be wrong."　　"Foreign audiences have different smiles. Sina Entertainment: The repercussions of yesterday's premiere are very good ... Chen: Yes, the scene was very quiet when the show, GE fell for a moment, the audience applause is very enthusiastic.　　When the subtitles finished, the audience clapped again.　　Sina Entertainment: This is the first time with the audience to see "Zhao Orphan"? Chen: I've seen five. With the audience can experience the atmosphere, and yesterday, Western audiences and Chinese audiences are not the same smile. For example, when Cheng told Cheng his life, Xiaoming asked, "Who will use their own son to save the lives of other people's children", this time the audience smiled. In fact, Chen Kaige director in the script when also considered, a long period of 15 years of revenge can be carried out, so absurd.　　I think, the audience still understand the director's many intentions.　　Production side Fangweising Clap "Wuji" encounter wronged Sina Entertainment: with Chen Kaige director for so many years, as a producer, for their role there is no new understanding? Chen: 2002 I began to do "with you", at that time was completely a layman, the director is my master, a little bit to lead me to learn. For more than nine years, I have been calmer, more calm, more calm, and met with a calm view of things. Not be swayed by their emotions.　　When filming the Promise, I will be very anxious, very angry, a variety of emotions will be about to know, in such an emotional decision must be wrong.　　Sina Entertainment: Shoot "the Promise" at that time, in the end what problems? Chen: All kinds of problems, first of all, in the preparation of the time, in the selection of the location has encountered problems.　　Then there is the problem of computer stunts, we have a lot of imaginative imagination when we write the script, but they all need special effects to support, and those special effects are expensive and not easy to implement. At that time, the country, Japan, Korea, the United States have invested in the "promise", the production side declared investment 300 million, which for us is the pressure is also wronged, because in fact, our cost is only 15 million U.S. dollars.　　But now that the investors have said it, we can't talk more. When you find a lot of imaginary images to do special effects, we've been looking for special effects companies in the United States, and the cheapest one is 8 million dollars, which means that if we're looking for an American special effect, we can use only 7 million dollars for other productions, but the actors and other squad are very good people and they cost more. Finally, we can not even find the Japanese special effects company, we can onlyLooking for Hong Kong.　　Every step of the difficulty is fatal, such as shooting, the weather forecast in Yunnan said it does not rain, but it actually rained every day, we 1000 people stranded in Shangri-La for one months, nothing to shoot.　　Also to clarify is that the "promise" is not losing money, our overseas sales are very good, Japan sold 4 million U.S. dollars, South Korea 2 million U.S. dollars, our cost is only 15 million U.S. dollars, I think it is necessary to tell the truth.　　Sina Entertainment: Encounter so many difficulties, the film's comments are not very good, do you feel wronged? Chen: No grievance, there are a lot of viewers told us very much like Ah, of course, I was told that they do not like, I fully understand.　　If you are not going to make a film, you can not accept the idea, but we have to continue to do. I believe that the audience's questioning is true, like just like, do not like it is not like, because they pay money.　　But I am sorry, a lot of viewers also told me to like the promise, I believe they are sincere.　　To the "Orphan of Zhao" accounting for Sina Entertainment: "Zhao Orphan" edition right sales? Chen: Asia's sales are all finished, Japan is the Cape Sichuan map to buy. North America also has the 两、三家 company to buy, all is quite big, I thought will have the conclusion very soon.　　On the European side, we hope to have a good promotion in the European market through the Berlin Film Festival.　　To put forward, "Zhao Orphan" is not martial arts Kungfu film, and now the Chinese film is not like five or six years ago so good to sell, "Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon" after one or two years overseas sales is a climax. Now the Chinese film is really not good to sell, you also understand.　　In fact, after all, according to the market, such as "Mei Lanfang" in Japan, sold 2 million U.S. dollars, but not to say that the Chinese film has regressed, which is based on the situation of each country, the audience situation to change.　　Sina Entertainment: "Zhao's orphan" production person Shanhong once in micro-blog said, "Zhao Gu" box office to 160 million has already made money, this account how to calculate. Chen: If there is no Zhejiang Xiangshan that 6, 70 million of the support will not be sold to 160 million in the time to make money, they are there to help us build the spring and autumn Warring States city, otherwise our investment in about 120 million. Now our total cost is about 60 million, the production plus the issue cost 80 million, the box office has 200 million, the slice side divides into 80 million.　　There are some advertising investment, basically the domestic market put all the money back.
