my crew is not human

Chapter 183

According to Li Xianyun's plan, the ghost town will develop into a diversified film and television city with a full industry chain in the future, providing various venues that can cover everything.

The reason for this choice is also from the perspective of the crew.

A film needs a lot of scenes, so the crew often runs around, going there to shoot the location today, and changing the location to shoot the location tomorrow.During the two-month filming period, the crew may be on the road for ten days.If the crew invests [-] million yuan, the time saved can be as high as tens of millions.

So if there is a film and television base that can meet most of the crew's needs at the same time, it will be a lot of money!

Now the most famous place in China is Shudian, and the venues of Shudian are mainly ancient buildings, so the biggest advantage of shooting costume dramas in Shudian is that you basically don’t need many exterior scenes, 80.00% of the scenes can be shot in Shudian , if the script is well done, you can handle everything in one vertical shop.

If Li Xianyun wants to take the route of ancient architecture, he may not be able to win vertical stores, so he will diversify.

Of course, the idea is very good, but it is very unrealistic to do it.

The scope of film and television coverage includes ancient and modern China and foreign countries, and there is still countless room for imagination. How can it be possible to summarize everything in one base. If you want to be comprehensive, it may become a mess.

The vast majority of special needs are realized through the studio.

But Li Xianyun decided to build container buildings for the convenience of transportation and change.

For example, I can pile up the containers and paint them to form a building, and if I add some other things, I can make a convenience store or something—a container is only a few thousand yuan, and the cost of rebuilding the building is much higher.

This method is between a fixed scenic spot and a studio, and belongs to the "Transformers-style location", but this method is not scientific at all, because in the traditional mode, its cost may be higher than using a studio.

But Li Xianyun has a little ghost plug-in, and there is no cost for transportation, assembly, art and coloring. To put it bluntly, this is the work of setting up the scenery in this way-don't worry about my cost, anyway, I can do it.

For this reason, Jiang Zheng also specially opened a company under the ghost town that specializes in setting scene art, and is fully responsible for this - just like the special effects of Yisheng Media, you have to calculate the cost and quotation, no matter how you calculate this method, it will be a loss.

It can be said that the core point of the ghost town's early income lies in the scenery, art and special effects.

And this kind of operation that makes ghost town no longer limited to ghosts also makes ghost town not only suitable for ghost movies, but also for many types of movies, thus providing more ghost special effects services.

Ghosts can be used in many places. Modern films can have ghosts, costume films can also have ghosts, fairy tale films can have ghost houses, use your imagination, science fiction films can also have ghosts, super power films can also have ghosts, Hua Ghosts from China can also go to Europe and the United States to go rampant for a while. If it really doesn't work, just like the old ghost this time, they can still be human or ghost.

Anyway, as an element, it has too much available space, as long as you dare to think, I dare to shoot.

Now the construction team is still laying out the scenes needed for the Xianxia show on Xiaozeshan - it's not for the old ghost, his scenes have been completed, but the 3000 million borrowed from Lan Yuan has to be spent.

The scenes of Xianxia Opera are basically ancient buildings, but they are required to be more natural and elegant.

If you build a few archways, you don’t need to cover the roof, it’s the Heavenly Palace; if you build a wooden house at the foot of the mountain, connect water pipes, alleys and waterfalls, you’ll see clear water, green mountains, and streams, plant a few artificial trees, and make some plastic flowers to ensure evergreen all year round. Qi work.

But that being said, it takes a lot of work to do it.

The biggest difference between the film studio base and the production crew's setting is: the production crew's setting is all tofu scum project, it is neither necessary nor allowed to make it too strong, otherwise there will be an explosion scene, fuck, it didn't blow up?That would be stupid.Or it was blown up, and a big rock fell down and smashed the actor, and the problem was even more serious.

The studio base is to be used repeatedly, so it has to be strong and solid, at least not to collapse at the first touch, but it also needs to save costs. After all, it is filming, so there is no need for such a high quality.

Li Xianyun also needs to make it easier to change the scene, which is suitable for the needs of setting art artists. Now even the scenic spots are Transformers-style attractions, so the cost of some aspects is even higher.

Li Xianyun dared to do this because he had Qi Li, Dali Gui, and Gua Nong Gui. Otherwise, he would not be able to do these jobs with the current investment of Lan Yuan alone.

Then the old ghost asked Li Xianyun about the plans for other districts.

After a general understanding.The old ghost asked: "So, the next two phases are the expansion of the ghost town and the ancient building area?"

"Yes, the setting service of the ghost town will also be the main source of income in the future. As long as the crew can pay for it, I can build a town directly." Li Xianyun whispered a price to the old ghost.

Hearing the price, the old ghost was also startled: "Are you sure?"

Li Xianyun nodded: "Of course, Yisheng Media is a high-tech company!"

The old ghost wisely didn't ask what kind of technology it was, and said directly: "When will it be done?"

Li Xianyun smiled and bared his big white teeth: "Look at the money."

Lanyuan Group gave them a deadline of three years at the latest for the second phase of the project, and it has only been less than a year now, so there is no rush.

In the past two years, it is to use the first phase of the project to make some money first.

The investment promotion has already started. In the early stage, it will be free for three months, and then it will be discounted for three months. A group of merchants have already been booked to settle in.

However, this part of investment promotion is a small trick, and the core business district has not yet been moved.

The old ghost thought for a while and said, "I want 32 points for the price of [-] billion."

That's [-] million.

Sure, old ghost, it's not ordinary people who can easily spend so much money.

No wonder Dou Lingling and the others are so scared when they provoke you.

Li Xianyun suddenly felt that the old man in front of him was several times thicker than him. He laughed and said, "My land is only 14 billion, and I promise to invest 15 billion, plus [-]% of the special effects!"

"That's why I overcalculated you by [-] million. This is my angel wheel."

"Get out, I don't care about your three hundred million." Li Xianyun disdainfully.After thinking about it, he said, "40 billion."

The old ghost curled his lips: "The film and television base is not easy to do, and the early stage is the most difficult."

Li Xianyun nodded.

Yes, despite his well-planned plan, it is still extremely risky.

Film and television bases are being developed all over the country, and the only one that is really popular is a vertical store. 80.00% of the film and television bases are at a loss.

Even if Li Xianyun is confident in his ghost special effects, he still can't guarantee that there are too many things involved.So much so that Li Xianyun and Jiang Zheng were collectively anxious for a while, and Li Xianyun even had the idea of ​​taking Jiang Zhengxuan on a world tour and singing a love song to old age.

Whether the world wants them is another matter, of course.

The old ghost continued: "And your plate is too big, which is an advantage and a disadvantage."

Fuck!
You hit the point again.

The area of ​​this land is too large, 4500 mu of land, the key is high-tech equipment, and the investment per unit area is too large.

You must know that the total investment of many film and television bases does not exceed [-] million yuan.

The old ghost continued to poke the needle: "In order to make a film and television base, it needs upper-level connections. Word of mouth alone is not enough."

Li Xianyun knew this.

The reason why Shudian was able to rise in the first place was because the Shudian Group itself was inextricably linked to the upper echelons of the film and television industry. When they first set up this film and television base, the first batch of crews could not even be regarded as voluntary entry, but is assigned above.

Want fast approval?Please go to the vertical shop to take pictures.

Want to secure funding?Please go to the vertical shop to take pictures.

Want to buy a film for a good price?Please go to the vertical shop to take pictures.

Finally, there is a sign that the crew is free-in fact, only some venues in Shudian can be free, and if you want to be free, you must stay in their hotel, use their supporting services, and change the soup without changing the medicine.

Anyway, after a series of operations, related resources, and excellent marketing methods, it attracted a large number of film crews to settle in, brought financial resources, and continued to expand, thus gaining a good reputation, and finally forming a virtuous circle.

But Li Xianyun's plan is still purely commercial.

All by word of mouth!

This is his biggest difficulty.

Word-of-mouth is not so easy to spread. It cannot be done with one or two advertisements. If you spend one billion to go out, not many people may know about it. If they know it, they may not believe it. If they believe it, they may not come.

In this case, the early operation is extremely difficult, after all, the maintenance of the studio still requires a lot of manpower.

There are more than [-] internal employees in the Shudian film and television base alone, and so many people eat and drink every day is a huge number.

The ghost town is now small in scale. The first phase of construction has been completed, and the management company has been established. There are more than 200 people in the business department, technical department, and ordinary staff. The salary alone exceeds one million a month.

This is still not a small number of people in business, and the number of people will have to increase when it is in business.

The key point is that you can't wait for the business to recruit these people. You have to carry out induction training first, right?Employees can't be found in one day, there must be time, right?

So during this period of time, Jiang Zheng has been recruiting people. When he can't recruit people, he has a headache. When he recruits, he sees the efforts of so many people, and he has a headache with the passage of book figures.

The disadvantage of Snake Tunxiang is here, the funds are seriously insufficient.

You must know that once a ghost city loses money, it cannot be stopped by tens of millions. A small loss in a month can exceed one million.

The most important thing is, if you can block it, you can't do it - Yisheng Media's money should be used to develop itself, and the ghost town is used to make money, not to hold back!
The old ghost saw through this point, and burst Li Xianyun's self-confidence balloon with a single sentence.

At this moment, the old ghost continued his efforts: "In fact, what really needs a film and television base is TV dramas, not movies."

Yes!

Movie shooting requires high requirements. You have to close the road yourself, find a famous building to shoot, or simply build a building yourself. Anyway, big productions rely very little on the studios, and only small-production movies and TV dramas really need studios.

In terms of TV dramas, their relationship is obviously much weaker.

The old ghost said again: "The first two or three years are the most difficult, and the initial stage is almost certain to lose money. Whoever can save capital within half a year, that is a miracle."

Uh……

Very good, the poke hit again, Li Xianyun felt that he was bruised all over his body, and was about to be stabbed into a sieve by the old ghost.

According to Li Xianyun's plan, the basic source of income for the ghost town film and television base is tourists.

Only when there are tourists can there be ticket income, and merchants can also make money. As for the crew, their main function is actually to watch for tourists.For example, fans chasing stars, or interested in how the crew filmed, and then enjoying the scenic spots...

In the early days, tourists were the most difficult to attract, and it would be good to survive by relying on the income obtained from leasing the venue to the crew.

No way, film and television bases typically have low consumption costs and high operating costs.

Operating costs are fixed expenses. No matter whether you have business or not, you have to spend so much every day. You are not well-known in the early stage, and the relationship is not in place. Even if there are things that others do not have, it will take time to accumulate.

Then you don't have so much money here...

Lanyuan Group, Huayou Group, and Xunjie Platform all have investment intentions, but it all depends on the situation.

They don't expect Li Xianyun's ghost town to make money now, as long as he can make ends meet within a year or so, then this ghost town has potential.

The most ideal situation is that Li Xianyun brings the ghost town to the point where it is close to breaking even in a short period of time but is still losing money, and then it is on the verge of bankruptcy due to a shortage of funds. It's like Li Xianyun picked something up from Lan Yuan's hand.

When you are weakest, get the fattest fruit!
Even though he was going to be stabbed into a sieve by the old ghost, Li Xianyun still smiled confidently: "Our special effects and scenery income can make up for it, and we can also borrow money."

A businessman not only has to be able to fool others, but also has to be able to fool himself.

Hold on!

We have had no problems at all!

The old ghost said happily: "Your special effects are currently limited to use in ghost towns, which in itself will affect your special effects business. You must know that special effects also have templates. If the same ghost special effects are used in ghost towns, leave here and go to other places. If you need to use it, you can only find other special effects companies. If the usage is insufficient, it will lead to an increase in the cost of other special effects, so unless you drastically reduce the price, your special effects business will not be so easy to do. As for setting Scene, even if you can give a cheap set, there will not be many crews who will be willing if there is no money to be made."

Fuck!
Right again.

For the same ghost, if one shot is [-], then five shots can’t be [-], but maybe only [-] to [-]. After all, the foundation is there.

Li Xianyun's special effects are limited to use in ghost towns. What if this ghost is used in places other than ghost towns?
Redo?

That's another extra expense!
In the decisive battle against Sky City, he is with the group, there is no such thing, and the God Killing crew is because Zhang Damou pursues the effect, and he doesn't feel bad about spending money-he used Li Xianyun's ghost here, and he can shout in the later stage of looking for another family: Just follow this standard.

Unfortunately, the late stage company is not him.

Even so, the previous 4000 million special effects fee of the God Killing crew also included fireworks, water waves and other special effects, otherwise it would have been impossible to give this price.

But not every crew is a god-killing crew, so it is impossible for them to buy a special effect from two.

So unless this special effect can happen to be used up in the ghost town scene, or the special effects here are really too cheap, it is worth doing it in two batches.

This has led to the fact that in the case of weak binding, the crew can not come to the ghost town, and cannot drive the business of the ghost town; under the strong binding, the special effects are difficult to sell, and the help to the ghost town is also limited!
This is the crux of the matter!

The same is true for setting the scene, after all, these days, the main force is the cheating crew!
The cheaper you are, the less people will want it!
The old ghost continued: "In addition, your company mortgaged 5000 million yuan. As for this land, it is very valuable, but Lanyuan gave you 8000 million yuan, which locked the land and cannot be mortgaged again. In this matter, you still have to It was plotted against by Lan Yuan, even if the development is great, if they disagree, ghost towns can no longer be used as collateral.”

Fatal blow!
The experience is still shallow.

It was for this purpose that Lanyuan loaned them 8000 million at the beginning, so that their largest capital could only be used to sell shares and not to borrow.

Want to borrow money?Talk to me!

It's not that Jiang Zheng and the others are unaware of this problem, but Lan Yuan is firm on this issue, and they have no money to develop it, and Sun Shi is still forced to give in.

Li Xianyun was completely helpless: "Old ghost, you can do it."

"I entered your studio, so I should be the one who understands you best." The old ghost smiled.

Gain here, lose here.

The old ghost is willing to ask for a price of 32 billion because he really feels the magic of Li Xianyun's special effects and the prospect of the ghost town, but also because he has enough time to feel it, so he also has enough time to investigate.

He knew that this was Li Xianyun's most critical and even weakest moment.

Lan Yuan understands engineering but does not understand film and television; Xunjie Platform understands film and television but does not know production; Huayou understands production but has no money; Shengda is too ambitious and directly locks on the technology itself.

So they all missed the opportunity.

But the old ghost caught it.

He doesn't want technology, because he found that Li Xianyun's special effects are directly tied to the ghost town.

Then I can invest in Ghost Town.

I don't want technology, I just want your exclusive technical service!
This is easy to talk about.

The fact is, as he himself said, the production crews are good at doing business, and the tourists may have to promote, but the production crews are very good at nose.As long as you can save ten yuan, you will never go to a place where you can save nine yuan.

Therefore, Li Xianyun's place has great potential. If Li Xianyun opens his business, he doesn't need to make a profit. As long as the monthly loss reaches a certain bottom line, investment institutions will swarm here like bears smelling honey.

At that time, this place was not about 32 billion, but at least 50 billion.

Li Xianyun already said: "My target is Shudian, not counting the land. The Shudian Group has invested about 50 billion in the film and television base, and the annual revenue is 200 billion!!! And the ghost town may develop to be more than this in the future. higher and stronger."

The old ghost smiled: "Impossible. You are far behind the Shudian in terms of tickets alone. Shudian now has 1700 million tourists a year, and the price of the unified ticket is now 480 yuan. The annual revenue from tickets alone is no less than 80 yuan." Billion. And you? How many people can your ghost town hold?"

He stretched out two fingers: "3 people are the top! With an average of 1 tourists per day, you are already better than Shudian, but how much can you book tickets? They are 480 yuan a ticket, because there are 150 mu of land. You have less than 1 mu of land, and the standard charge is about 15. Of course, you have a large investment, let me count you [-], and the average daily [-] people are only [-] million tickets a year. Income. Peripheral supporting facilities have decreased year-on-year, and you have one billion to support the sky, with a yearly revenue of [-] billion, this is the performance of your ghost town of Li Xianyun! "

Uh……

I'll go, let's strike! ! !

Indeed, for Li Xianyun's 50 mu of land, it is not bad to charge [-] early tickets.

There is a huge gap in ticket revenue.

This is the difference between a large film and television center and a small film and television center.

The large film and television center has a large area, high ticket prices, and a large capacity.

Ten times the area, ten times the number of guests, and three times the ticket price. After all, there is a wide area to play, so the difference in ticket revenue is dozens of times.

Not counting the land, with a total investment of 30 billion, it would be good to have a revenue of 15 billion. In fact, Li Xianyun knows that it is impossible to reach his level of arrogance in the short term—to reach an average of [-] daily tourists. Thank goodness for Xie Guangkun.

Insufficient cash, huge debts, and not as bright prospects as Li Xianyun boasted, what should I do?
A good boss must persevere to the end and never admit defeat!
Li Xianyun stubbornly resisted: "It's not bad that the annual revenue can reach this figure. As for the funds... Doomsday Blossoms is about to go online, the Chaoying series has initially started, and the [-] series can also bring back some money. Besides, I plan to sell Ji Tongyu."

The old ghost didn't know that Li Xianyun wanted to hide Ji Tongyu in the snow, but he didn't care about it, and said directly: "That kid is not worth a lot, besides, I suggest you to hide it in the snow. It's a good job, and anyone who sells it will be offended." Who. As for the brokerage company’s money, I know that you won’t split the accounts for the time being, and Dou Lingling’s ability to not let you get a blood transfusion is due to Doomsday Crazy. It would be great if it can be launched next year, and the repayment period will be half a year. Super British series storyboard Is it all right? Wait until the year of the monkey? It will probably take a year to get the money back after the filming. Maybe the 8000 million yuan has not been recovered, so I have to post another one. Lanyuan will not pay until it is sure that there is a profit, and Yisheng Media pays money in one direction, and when Lanyuan owns shares, it is equivalent to giving money to Lanyuan."

Li Xianyun was surprised: "Old ghost, you know too much."

The old ghost raised his glass and said, "I'm not a director, what do you think I've been doing all this time? The ghost town hasn't opened yet, nothing else, just the more than 200 employees. The monthly basic expenses are more than 100 million, right? You have to recruit more people after opening, and the cost will increase further. If the revenue fails to meet expectations, the loss will further increase. This thing is the same as the film and television before it goes online. Before that, no one knew whether it was a mule or a horse."

Li Xianyun was extremely sad and angry: "Brother, check me out!"

The old ghost said sincerely: "I really like you as a younger brother."

Fuck!
was taken advantage of.
