my crew is not human

Chapter 219 Ancient Tomb Business
According to Li Xianyun's plan, the efficiency of film shooting under the new mode will inevitably be greatly improved.

The increase in efficiency does not mean that the cost has decreased year-on-year, because the package price for personnel can no longer be made cheaper - how do you calculate the package price with others if you share with others for a few days?

"What's your wholesale price for a pack of cigarettes? OK, just follow this and give me two packs."

I can't beat you to death!

So according to their design, it is to strive to make more films in the same time, so as to maximize the "cost reduction" to the extreme.

Therefore, the application of new technologies and models is not used to complete a film in a short period of time, but to shoot enough films in the same period of time like Chaoying.

Fifteen days is still fifteen days, but instead of filming one film, fifteen days filmed five films!
Yisheng Media does not have so many films to shoot, so it must strive for cooperation with outsiders.

In addition, brand-new technologies and models will inevitably have countless problems.

Although Chaoying uses new technology, there are many problems in it.

According to the plan, the technical service department will have two departments in the future, one for the front stage and one for the backstage.

All the "black technologies" are appearances, and are actually the work of the little ghosts, but behind those technological props are connected to the background, and there are so-called core technicians.

In this case, the new model requires not only new technologies, but also new processes.

And both require testing.

Fortunately, the old ghost had contacted him with a film and television company that was willing to cooperate with him earlier.

This company is called Hongchao, and the volume of the films to be produced is not large. The total investment including publicity and distribution is only 800 million, but they have a second-tier artist with a good reputation.It can be said that the entire company lives on this second line, which is their pillar.

This is exactly what Li Xianyun rushed to.

Li Xianyun doesn't like celebrities, mainly because he doesn't like the airs of celebrities.

But you have to admit that the halo effect of stars is really useful.

During this period of time, a considerable part of the foreign tourists in the ghost town were fans brought by the stars of Linglan and Dongluo Film and Television.

In this situation, Li Xianyun urgently needs more stars to support the scene - it doesn't matter what the script is, I, boss Li, will be a part-time job.

Coupled with the need to test the new process, Li Xianyun used the director, venue and post-production investment, accounting for 18.00% of the shares-this is a comedy romance film that does not require any special effects.

The additional requirement is that artists from Red Tide must come to Mirror World to play, and of course my artists will also show to you.

It is also necessary to test the process and squeeze the artists, which can be regarded as eating two fish.

In addition, the time is scheduled for mid-August-by this time, Chaoying can almost be completed, and people from Yisheng Media will also come back.

Of course, because they are two different films, Li Xianyun didn't dare to open three films at once, mainly to practice first.

Strictly speaking, this cannot be called a set of shots - sets of shots are generally of the same subject matter.

This can only be called joint shooting.

There are few reusable resources for joint productions, and it is of little significance. At most, the actors will play with each other. Li Xianyun is just trying it out.

All this made Huayou yell "It's too risky to open two dramas at the same time".

As for the company called Hongchao, it doesn't matter - they also use investors' money, so saving money is the most important thing.

Li Xianyun's conditions are enough for them to get a fortune from the investment, and the rest depends on the level of the director.

During the filming of Chao Ying, the script of Mirror World was almost completed.

In fact, the script of this film is not complicated. The key is the imaginary world of mental patients, which must meet the condition of imagination, so the storyboard design is extremely complicated, and the setting art and props are demanding.

As for Hong Chao's film, it's a very ordinary script, it's a comedy romance film, there's nothing else to sell except for second-tier artists, the so-called 800 million investment is converted into resource payment, and some of them are not as good as Li Xianyun himself family property.

Of course, Li Xianyun wouldn't use his own people, either because he couldn't make arrangements, and the key was not worth it.

If this film can make a profit, the investors are lucky.

Double play requires multiple directors.

Therefore, besides being the chief director, Li Xianyun also needs the cooperation of two directors, so that when he leaves the ghost town to shoot scenes in other places, each can take care of it.

The director's first choice is still Dong Zixin.

This girl really has talent.

The other one chose Xu Han.

The heroine of the mirror world is determined to be Yunzhi, and the heroine is still Lin Xiaoyu.

Li Xianyun, as he promised, did not disregard Lin Xiaoyu and Jiang Lanwen's love, which can be regarded as a show of the boss's generosity.

However, Dong Zixin and Xu Han are still outside filming Chaoying and haven't come back, so they can't turn it on for two months, so they can only rely on those holographic projection ghosts to attract business.

Although the store has started to charge, but because of the small passenger flow, it is temporarily discounted in half, so the store is not satisfied yet.

Looking at the daily losses of the ghost city, Li Xianyun was also running around in a hurry like ants on a hot pot.

Today Li Xianyun was still having a headache, Jiang Zheng ran over and said, "It's time for the Xiaozeshan ancient tomb to open."

Ozawayama Ancient Tomb?
Li Xianyun was taken aback for a moment, damn, I forgot about this.

According to the original plan, the small Zeshan ancient tomb will be completed within half a year—this is too fast.

It is now July, and the ancient tomb project has been half a year now.

Li Xianyun nodded and said: "Okay, let's drive, but don't expect to bring many passengers."

"No need, just charge separately." Jiang Zheng blinked.

Li Xianyun was taken aback.

Does the Ozawayama Ancient Tomb charge separate tickets?

This works.

Their current tickets are originally set according to the first phase of the project, and the second phase of the project is still in progress, and many new attractions have been added, but the ticket price has not yet increased, so it is considered relatively favorable.

A comprehensive price increase is not suitable for the time being. It is possible to charge additional fees for newly opened scenic spots. After the completion of the second phase of the project, the number of scenic spots will increase greatly, and the price of tickets will increase in an all-round way. At that time, it will be fine to cancel the individual tickets for the ancient tomb of Xiaozeshan, and There are also multiple excuses for future price increases.

This is also a common method used by many scenic spots under construction to increase the unit price without increasing the passenger flow, so that the overall revenue tends to be stable.

"How much?" Li Xianyun asked.

"Let's set 15 yuan first." Jiang Zheng said.

"I think it's okay, let's make it so."

Yisheng Media has a different style of making film and television than ghost towns—movies are bad movies with great special effects, and it’s enough to cheat money, but ghost towns take a long-term route and pay attention to word-of-mouth, which makes them spend all their money without overwhelming advertisements at the beginning In practice, word-of-mouth praise is extremely high, with strong stamina.

In this case, in order not to affect popularity and improve word-of-mouth, everyone will not charge too high a ticket price. Otherwise, with the level of the ancient tomb of Ozawa Mountain, it would not be too much to charge [-] to [-] for this place.

In their view, stop loss should be the natural result of passenger flow growth.

Of course, they dare to do this because they now have enough capital flow to support them. Most companies do not have so much capital to make long-term plans.

"By the way, what happened to your damn surprise?" Jiang Zheng asked.

"Fuck! Forget about this, it's already done in post." Li Xianyun slapped his thigh.

"Damn Surprise" is simple. During the filming of Chaoying, all the post-production has been done, and the review has been completed.

"Damn Surprise" was filmed at the ancient tomb of Zeshan, so it happened to be effective.

Li Xianyun immediately called Zheng Xia and asked Zheng Xia to help get online as soon as possible.

Although the film only cost 100 million, the ghost special effects and magic special effects in it are substantial, and Qin Yulin and the others are now well-known actresses, so it is not surprising that they are rated as A-level.

A week later, the ancient tomb of Mount Ozawa officially opened to the public.

At the same time, Hell Surprise was also launched on the Xunjie platform.

Li Xianyun and the others even put this film directly at the entrance of the ticket office of the ancient tomb, and played it in a loop. The passing tourists watched the movie on the screen and laughed, and couldn't help but want to go in to see the ancient tomb. As for the internal situation, there are also TV dramas inside the ancient tomb, which broadcast some tidbits that cannot be seen outside.

In order to attract business and increase the number of orders, Li Xianyun even arranged for the long-haired ghost to stand guard at the entrance of the ancient tomb.

Using the shape-changing spell to make the most beautiful posture, fluttering and waving to the tourists: "Come on! Guests come to play!"

There is a posture of a brothel woman soliciting customers.

Don't tell me, this trick really works.

There are really many tourists who buy tickets to enter the ancient tomb because of this.

Li Xianyun thinks this trick is good, why not use it at the gate of the ghost town?It was Jiang Zheng who stopped him.

Take it easy, the guests who enter the ghost town come prepared and are looking for excitement.

The passers-by outside the ghost town are not mentally prepared for this, don't be scared to death by you, and you will have a lot of fun.

Li Xianyun thought about it too, so he had to give up.

He was still regretting that the ancient tomb could only grab profits from the original tourists in the ghost town, but he didn't expect that "Damn Surprise" would explode in just two days.

This film unexpectedly became popular on the Xunjie platform in an instant.

Moreover, the fire was so fierce that it was far beyond Li Xianyun's expectation.
