my crew is not human

Chapter 125 Ghost Town Impression

To the west is a ghost town, to the north is the fairy tale in ancient costumes, to the east is natural scenery, farms and homestays, to the south is the commercial area, and in the middle is the studio area.

The business district is adjacent to the county seat, which was the original planning of Lanyuan Group.

There is only more than 1000 mu of land here, but the planning investment is the largest, including a 32-story hotel, two [-]-story shopping malls, and some large supermarkets.

As for now, there is only an ordinary small store at the southernmost gate.

It was originally used as a souvenir shop, but considering that there will not be too many tourists in the early stage, it is temporarily rented to others as a supermarket, mainly for customers in the county, and it will be taken back when the business is good, or the price will increase. price.

The inevitable routine of every unscrupulous boss.

In addition, the first phase of the project will give priority to building two five-story small buildings near the business district. One is used as an office space for Yisheng Media, and the other is used as a residence for the crew. When the second half of the first phase is completed, there is no hope for this shooting.

As for the central part, it is the same huge investment studio area.

There are many scenes required for film and television, and location alone is not enough to meet the needs. The studio is the core area suitable for various needs.

There are more than ten large-scale scenic spots in the Shudian film and television base, and the number of scenic spots is said to be nearly [-]. There are one or two hundred studios alone. The needs of the crew still cannot escape.

So the development of the entire ghost town is actually a middle line from west to east.

The second phase of the project is the expansion of the ghost town and the construction of the Ancient Costume Xianxia District. As for the development of the commercial area, which is the most expensive, it is estimated that it will be after the third phase.

I don't know if I can last until then.

For this reason, Li Xianyun and the others also proposed to the Ze County government to build a road to make it easier to get in and out.

The county government said that it supports the vigorous development of private enterprises, but there is no money for road construction.

In desperation, Li Xianyun and the others had no choice but to build a road by themselves: a simple gravel road extending from the south to the west.

Now the main entrance and exit of the ghost town is from the western ghost town scenic spot.

As for everything else, even the small supermarket on the other side of the business district is not allowed to enter or leave. Anyway, this place is not doing ghost town business now, so let's use it as an ordinary supermarket first.

Although Li Xianyun was sighing, Han Xinyu and the others were shocked beyond measure.

A young man, relying on his own strength to win such a large piece of land, forcibly bears hundreds of millions of debts, and establishes a huge ghost town base.

It only took a year!
In any case, this boldness, this ability and means are enough to shock them.

Now no one underestimated Li Xianyun's small broken company in the private house.

Most importantly, with the special effects level of this company, these extremely real ghosts, although this is a movie with an investment of 5000 million, the effect of the film may be comparable to a blockbuster with an investment of [-]-[-] million.

No wonder Huayou paid so much attention to it.

At this moment, Han Xinyu thought for a while, and said: "The ghost town has invested 8000 million yuan, and there are only [-] scenic spots. Isn't it a bit inflated?"

Li Xianyun smiled wryly: "There is no way to do this. The development is only a small part of the development, but other places can't be left alone. It is difficult to start everything, and many things have to be purchased from scratch, resulting in a large investment. For example Walls have to be built, there is a lake where you can shoot water rafting scenes, the small pier has to be built, the garden has to have railings, there have to be seats, trash cans, small trees, rockery, etc. To buy some sports equipment, these have to be prepared in advance, and they are all money. The investment in the natural area is small, but it still needs to be invested. In addition, there are a lot of holographic projection equipment. The appearance of the ghost town is ghosts and gods, but the essence is Technology, these equipments are of great value. Finally, other related supporting facilities are also a large investment.”

In fact, tourists are not afraid of being expensive when they come out to play, but they are afraid that it will not be fun.

Today's tourists are also good at playing, and they are used to it.

As long as you can provide the sensuality they need, spending more is fine.

It's the same as making a movie. Everyone has limited time, so naturally choose the best one, so it will always be the top profit.

Li Xianyun’s movie city, the first phase is 8000 million, is to maximize the quality - when the tourists come back and say, well, it’s very exciting and fun, but it’s a pity that there are fewer attractions, but it’s only the first phase. You can go again in the second period.

There are repeat customers.

Because of this, Yisheng Media is determined to follow the high-quality route, and will never make rough productions to accommodate a large number of tourists at the beginning-this is the complete opposite of their film and television production.

Han Xinyu asked: "The return on investment is too disproportionate? Like this, it is not easy to recover the cost."

Yes, the little girl is not very old, but her knowledge is indeed higher than many girls Li Xianyun has met, and her words and conversations are beyond the knowledge she should have at her current age.

Li Xianyun was very satisfied with Han Xinyu's question, nodded and said: "You are right. But our film and television base is not just the main crew, it also includes tourists."

Han Xin said: "There are too few scenic spots that can be provided, and there are also few tourists that can be accommodated, and there are conflicts between the crew and tourists' needs."

"Yes." Li Xianyun roughly talked about their plan.

After hearing what Li Xianyun said, Han Xinyu frowned slightly: "Then how do you solve the problem of the crew destroying the scenic spots?"

Speaking of which, this is also a problem.

Different crews have different needs.

Film and television bases generally only provide basic construction. After the crew enters, they need to re-set the scene according to needs and do art work. The former is like hard decoration for a house, while the latter is for soft decoration.

After filming, the crew patted their buttocks and walked, leaving behind a certain mess.

Especially some movies also like to make some fancy colors.For example, ancient buildings in different eras have different styles. A certain crew came over and thought that we should innovate, change red walls to blue walls, and roofs to colorful tiles—the colorful feudal society is called joy!
There are all kinds of funny things in the crew, and so does the director.

The result is that while the crew creates benefits for the film and television base, it also makes a mess from time to time.

The scenic spots in Elephant Ghost Town need to be eerie and scary. Maybe some stupid director waved his hand and said, I want to be colorful. After shooting, I leave, leaving behind a doomsday town full of colorful, beaming and red lanterns. So embarrassing.

Therefore, places like Shudian and Xiangshan have strict restrictions. If you change it to be similar to other buildings, we will tolerate it if it does not affect the overall style. It is unacceptable to mess around.

But even this can't stand up to some demons - the film and television base is so big, in order to save labor costs, they won't send people to keep an eye on the crew.So there are often crews who do it secretly, and run away after the filming is over.

If you find out in advance, you can still charge a fine, but if you find out later, you will have nothing to do.

This happened more than once in places like Shudian.Because they are ancient building complexes, most of them are wooden structures.As a result, some film crews applied the color blindly, and they didn’t know what kind of paint they used, and they directly invaded into the wood. As a result, after a scene was filmed, the scenic spot was directly abandoned. There is no way to curse angrily.

Therefore, many film and television bases will also require that the finishing work must be done well, and a large deposit will be charged for this.

But doing it must be done, "good", just haha.

The ghost town is better, because it is not an ancient building, but mostly stone, so it is convenient to color.

Even so, you have to consider that the crew will smash the wall when they come over - people may think your wall is an eyesore.

Besides, buildings are not all made of stone, but also have wooden structures.

What about you?
In this regard, Li Xianyun explained: "In the early stage, we will focus on keeping an eye on it, and in the later stage, we will consider that the ghost town will be responsible for the scenery and art."

If it's your own scenery artist, then there won't be such a problem. After all, it's Yisheng Media's people, and it's impossible for the crew to ruin it at will - the key is that you can't get away with your own people!

Han Xinyu shook his head: "The crew may not accept it."

Setting art is a big spender, and many people in the production team make money through this. How could they outsource the work to the ghost town.Besides, what Ghost City wants to avoid is exactly what the crew wants to do.

Li Xianyun said lightly: "Yisheng Media's future plan is to develop the entire industry chain."

In the original world, the Shudian film and television base was planning the entire industry chain. According to them, in the future, as long as you bring a script, Shudian will cover everything for you.

But in the real world, the vertical stores here haven't done it yet.

Han Xinyu smiled lightly, bowed his head and said nothing.

But Li Xianyun could feel her thoughts: Your company is not doing well yet, you want to have the whole industry chain.

Li Xianyun smiled slightly: "Planning, the cowhide always needs to be bigger. Besides, we are different from other film and television bases. Our main income in the early stage still comes from these special effects. Of course, we also hope to increase the ticket price. To make up for the lack of passenger flow, but you know, before the fame has not started, it is easy to kill yourself with too high ticket prices... Pricing is also a big question."

Han Xinyu was very curious: "The production cost of your holographic projection special effects should be very high? Are you sure you can earn it back?"

Li Xianyun smiled: "Fortunately, anyway, the charges are definitely lower than the production costs of major special effects companies. The key is to save time and convenience."

Special effects are actually a bottomless pit. Although most special effects companies have clearly marked prices for the level of special effects, they are also highly variable.

Before it is completed, no one knows what the special effects of this company are like, and whether they are in line with their own wishes.

Even a studio that has made awesome special effects may still make rubbish for you.

But ghost towns are different.

All the special effects here are pre-installed. If you ask for anything, I will get it to you first, and then quote.

In other words, you never have to worry about quality degradation and excessive fees.

Special effects originally belonged to the later stage, and the typical thing is to collect money first and then do things. At best, there is a problem with the final payment, and the finished product cannot be seen for a period of time after paying the money.

But when it comes to Yisheng Media, it is a pure early stage, and it becomes a commodity that can be placed on the counter. You can pick and choose. It's green screened.

This advantage is too great.

This is great news for many film and television companies.

Han Xinyu said with a smile: "Those companies that engage in special effects will be in trouble. But since this is the case, I think you should not be limited to ghosts."

"Of course." Li Xianyun waved his hand casually.

Seeing a small building in the distance explode suddenly, bursting into a large area of ​​flames, the little assistant and Han Xinyu were startled at the same time, Han Xinyu retreated, and retreated directly into Li Xianyun's arms.

Really fragrant!

Sister, you have a good face, a voice, and a good body fragrance. You are really perfect in the world!

Han Xinyu had no time to pay attention to this. She looked at the small building in the distance in shock, and saw that the small building was ablaze, countless ruins fell down, and dust and smoke rose up.

This building just exploded like this?
wrong!

There was no explosion.

Han Xinyu suddenly woke up.

After the smoke and dust passed, Han Xinyu saw that the small building was still there.

There was no explosion.

She looked at Li Xianyun in surprise.

Li Xianyun smiled: "The explosion effects are all illusions, and will not cause any actual damage. When shooting, take a prop grenade, throw it behind you, and then walk out of the smoke-filled area in a big way... Bang!!! No looking back at the explosion. The effect is absolutely amazing!"

Han Xinyu covered his mouth in surprise: "This is really amazing, but I am a woman."

"The heroine, the heroine of Doomsday Crazy Flower, the big heroine!" Li Xianyun said seriously.

"I'm starting to look forward to this drama. It would be great if we could add some emotional drama." Han Xin said, she had read the script, and she couldn't understand why Li Xianyun, who was a screenwriter, was so weak in literature and drama.

Li Xianyun replied directly: "I'm not good at emotional scenes."

Han Xinyu became interested: "This is what women are good at. If you don't mind actors changing scripts, I can help."

"Actually, I'm still a little concerned." Li Xianyun continued to move forward: "You know that when making a movie, a small change in the script can turn into a big action. What I'm not good at is not only emotional scenes, but also I'm not good at making emotional scenes."

"But if you want to be a good director, you should work hard to improve yourself." Han Xinyu did not back down.

Li Xianyun heard the words and listened to his steps: "It seems that you have an idea about this?"

"Try it. I'll give you a suggestion, and you can choose to refuse." Han Xinyu is very good at talking, and calmly controls the direction of the conversation.

Li Xianyun is always willing to listen to opinions. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said: "Okay, anyway, there is still a month left, so it's not a big problem for literary dramas. It seems that in the next time, if we have nothing to do, we will often talk about scripts." gone."

Han Xinyu smiled: "It's just talking about the script."

"That's right." Li Xianyun nodded.

He is a wrist, and Li Xianyun didn't expect anything else to come out of this script.

So Han Xinyu stretched his waist: "The natural scenery is nothing to see. If this is the case, then go back to the hotel."

Li Xianyun smiled: "If you don't think my car is too broken, I will give it to you."
