my crew is not human

Chapter 163 Compensation

Under Dou Lingling's operation, the old ghost of Jingyang Film and Television soon met Li Xianyun.

The old ghost, Lao Changgui, has a bald head and a greasy face. Like Mo Rui, he also has a red rosacea nose, but he is thinner, shorter, and older than Mo Rui.

If you don't know, if you say that he is Mo Rui's uncle, you will probably believe it.

After knowing what Li Xianyun meant, the old ghost was also very surprised.

When did people in the film and television industry become so kind?
But after drinking for three rounds and confirming that Li Xianyun really wanted to give him the ghost city over there for free, the old ghost was immediately moved.

The cost of venues for large production crews is very expensive. At this stage, quite a few of Huaguo's costumed heroes are filmed in vertical stores.

However, shooting in Shudian is not only expensive, but also has strict conditions in all aspects.

For example, the rental time of the venue is said to be used until 10 noon tomorrow, so [-] minutes more will not work.Do you want to spend money to delay?OK, requeue.Let me see, oh, come back in two months—the day lilies are all cold.

The reason why it is so harsh is because when the time comes, a new crew will come over. If you are delayed, what will the other crew do?
People also give money, there is no reason to wait for you.

So when the time is up, no matter whether you finish shooting or not, you must leave!
They don't even give you time to clean up. You have to slow down and ask other crews to clean up for you. Costumes and props may be thrown on the street for you.

In the film and television base, it is not uncommon for the crew to have conflicts in order to rush for time.

Li Xianyun Ghost Town is not open yet, these problems don’t exist, and they don’t even charge money, let alone time—as long as you can afford the delay, you can use it until the opening period.

However, the old ghost also hesitated. Looking at the materials handed over by Li Xianyun, he murmured, "The place is nice and big, but the ghost town doesn't quite meet our needs."

Li Xianyun smiled and said: "Don't worry, even though it's called a ghost town, it's just our specialty. How can we restrict ourselves so much to a film and television base of [-] acres? It’s in Ozawa Mountain. There are beautiful mountains and clear waters, which is very suitable for the style of Xianxia, ​​the only regret is that it has not been developed in time.”

"But my crew won't wait."

"So we're developing it now."

The Xianxia venue was originally the second phase of the project, but this time Li Xianyun deliberately advanced it a little bit, but the fee had to be asked for by the Lanyuan Group.

The old ghost was a little moved: "The crew doesn't wait for anyone, is there time?"

"It should be possible. The planning has already been made, and now we are starting work ahead of schedule." Li Xianyun said: "I just want to trouble you to adjust the shooting sequence. You have to give us some time."

The old ghost's production team is a big one, male and female are all first-line, and thanks to Ji Tongyu for not messing with this level, otherwise Xu Shiqin might not be able to handle it.

There are a total of about 800 episodes in the whole drama. The cost of a single episode is 4 million, and the total investment is 6000 million. Among them, the remuneration of the male lead is 4000 million, and that of the female lead is [-] million. It is not clear whether it is the real price or not.

The prices of artists vary greatly. For the same celebrity, they can range from 1000 million to 8000 million or even hundreds of millions.

It depends on the celebrity of the artist, whether the brokerage company will be fooled, the relationship between various aspects, whether the capital is generous or not, and finally whether there is any trick behind it, whether there is any companionship, whether there is a yin-yang contract or something .

Not all yin-yang contracts are for artists to take advantage of. Some contracts may be just the opposite. The key is who asks whom.

As for Ji Tongyu, he is not qualified to play tricks.

He is 800 million.

Although Ji Tongyu is a third-tier actor, his worth depends not only on the salary, but also on the role.A 3000-episode high-quality series can be filmed for four to five months or even half a year, and the salary is generally higher than that of a movie. In addition to commercials and variety shows, there is an income of [-] to [-] million a year, and this is still a cold winter.

Yi Sheng's agent earns tens of millions a year by himself, so it's no wonder he is reluctant to let go.

For such a crew, it is normal to shoot for half a year, and it is not surprising to shoot for a year.

The old ghost's scene has just been filmed, and now he has to change people to make up the filming, and there is still enough time for Li Xianyun to meet the deadline.

So when he said this, the old ghost directly adjusted the shooting sequence, and arranged the shooting of the ghost town as the last stop.

The coordinator of the old ghost was about to fly into a rage again: This is all right, all the previous work has been disrupted, and the schedule has to be redone again.

Speaking of coordinating, the planning of the shooting sequence of the entire crew is very important, involving all the staff arrangements, including a lot of things such as venue actors' costumes and props.For a large crew involving hundreds of people, there is even more planning involved.

Every time the plan is changed, the front of the coordinator will be for nothing, and the boss will move his mouth, and the bottom will break his legs.

If the plan is changed after the filming starts, then the preparatory team will be screwed to death!

The bosses said: Otherwise, what should you do?
"In addition, the script can also be slightly adjusted. It's free to use anyway, so why can't we design a ghost town?" Li Xianyun wrote lightly: "Adding a plot. Besides, the special effects of ghosts don't necessarily mean that they are called ghosts. Evil sect masters practice evil kung fu, and the appearance of the person they practice is neither human nor ghost, which is completely justified."

Li Xianyun was born in a script, and his thinking is very open. The special effects can't be changed, so it can be said differently, right?A ghost may not be a ghost, but a human being, but it just looks like a ghost.

perfect!

Filming is unfavorable to change the script!
General rules of the industry.

Cry the screenwriter to death, the boss doesn't feel bad.

Li Xianyun has completely forgotten that he was once a hard-working screenwriter who hated changing scripts randomly.

The old ghost was also happy: "This idea is good. If you are willing to borrow unlimitedly, I dare to shoot unlimitedly."

"If you dare to shoot unlimitedly, I dare to borrow unlimitedly." Li Xianyun replied.

Both sides laughed.

The old ghost looked at the ghost town scene on Li Xianyun's laptop, nodded and praised: "Indeed, your ghost town is well built. But the surrounding area is a bit poor, it seems that there is no supporting facilities, and the place where you live is a bit far away."

Li Xianyun was helpless: "Isn't this just the beginning? It hasn't officially opened yet. But the place is big, and the residential building for the crew has been completed. You don't need to stay in a hotel, and you can even save money for the hotel. I don't charge for it, just Empty, you have to move the bed and quilt by yourself."

"Fuck, why didn't you let me decorate it for you?" The old ghost stared.

"Yes." Li Xianyun smiled.

"Fuck off."

"If you want to stay in the hotel by yourself." Li Xianyun spread his hands.

The small building he used for the production crew has been built, and has basic functions, but there is no formal decoration, there are big white walls all around, and the inside is empty.

Nothing but saving money.

The old ghost immediately hesitated, rubbed his chin and said, "I'll figure out if it fits later. Are the water and electricity connected?"

"The basics are all good, but the decoration is not up, the furniture is not in, the toilet can be installed for you first, and the cooking is not enough."

"It must be ordering food. Who the hell is the crew cooking for themselves? You don't need to go out to the bathroom. If you get some quilts for the bed, it's not a big problem, but those wrists are a bit troublesome. If it doesn't work, let them stay in a hotel , others live in Xiaobailou." The old ghost said to himself: "By the way, there is that holographic projection..."

"Oh, this is not a free loan. It is very moral for Yi Sheng to give you the venue for free." Li Xianyun said meaningfully.

The old ghost said with a smile: "But it's okay to let it go. And you are still a newly opened film and television base, and you are in need of customers. Our crew has filmed at your place, and we can also promote it for you."

Everyone is human, and the old ghost knows why Li Xianyun is so generous.

Don't be afraid that you have a purpose, you can rest assured if you have a purpose.

"That's right, it's okay to leave it on, but that thing consumes a lot of power." Li Xianyun laughed dryly.

You talk to me about the electricity bill...

A bad lie exists to let you know it's a lie.

The old ghost said: "I've seen your online show, and the effect is pretty good. My film crew went in, can it have the same effect?"

Li Xianyun raised two fingers: "Two grades, I use one grade in the movie."

The first phase of holographic projection has been fully laid out, and the effect is good, but it certainly cannot be compared with real ghosts.

In fact, the problem of holographic projection is not only a problem of redundant content input and output, but also a problem of light and shadow effects.

The camera is shooting against the real projection, and the effect is definitely not as good as the real existence.

So in fact, the holographic projection shooting method is not valid at all. With that method, the effect is immediately weak.

Holographic projection is essentially to attract tourists, supplemented by real ghosts.

Real tourists watch it live, and the effect increases dramatically. It exists as a quantity. Occasionally, a real ghost will come to improve the quality.

But if you want to make a movie, you have to come to the real ghost.

Of course, Chaoshen Technology is also working hard on research and development. The purpose at this stage is to make holographic projection more suitable for shooting, but it will definitely not be possible in a short time.

At this moment, the old ghost asked about the effect of the two grades, and immediately understood that the low-end should not be expected, the effect is too bad, Li Xianyun is willing to give it away for free, but the old ghost doesn't want it.

Lower the bar.

He pointed directly at the real ghost picture above and said, "I want this level, and I can give you five artist spots."

The filming has just started, and some artists have not yet appeared on stage, so they just change.

It is also the norm in the industry. Various queue jumps are not uncommon in the crew, it depends on whose backstage is strong.

Artists read the script hard to enter the role, and a chat or a phone call from the bosses negates all efforts and even fate.

But how could Li Xianyun be moved by this petty profit? He just didn't give special effects and gave away the venue for nothing.

Li Xianyun said: "Well, let's change the script first, and then you will make a detailed document on the content you need, and I will make a quotation based on your content. But no matter how much the quotation is, we will actually I don’t charge a single cent, as long as other relevant resources are needed. These resources include the share of the film, the names of sponsors who are specially thanked, and even artists, and the costumes and props used are fine!”

Anything can be priced.

Yisheng Media is a small company that has no accumulation, but large companies have accumulation.

These accumulations are like clothing sellers who have to accumulate a batch of clothing and props every year. It is a burden for them, but if it is released, it is profit.

You can't have it, and you don't want too much.

It’s also like an online literature site. When you open a website, you need to buy a batch of junk articles first. You don’t need to sell them for money, but you have to enrich the library. Why don’t readers come in and have a look, I’ll wipe it, your website only has three books?That's a joke - don't tell me, there are actually websites that have done this, and the entire novel site only has a dozen books.

Yisheng Media is like this.

They shoot fewer films and accumulate less costumes and props.

Look forward to inventory when there is no inventory, and find a way to clear the inventory when there is more inventory.But with the 4500 mu of land in the ghost town, are you afraid that you won’t be able to put down the inventory?

So even if the old ghost threw them all the costumes and props used by the crew, they still wanted them.

Of course, the price must not be calculated according to the new one, it must be calculated according to the package.

For the old ghost, this is also a way to monetize resources - large crews disdain to use old clothes, because old clothes are easy to lose shape and damage the beauty, so the costumes of the old ghost's crew are always brand new. I have to figure out a way to deal with it.

It is impossible to give Li Xianyun the share of the film, but other resources are indeed easy to talk about-this is what Li Xianyun wants, or else he is crazy to start part of the second phase of the project in advance for this crap?

The old ghost's production team is very large, and there will be a lot of Fuhua Dao resources that can be obtained.

After understanding what Li Xianyun meant, the old ghost smiled and said, "That's good, it's settled."
