my crew is not human

Chapter 657 New Shooting Plan

Now that the matter was settled, Li Xianyun called Dawn.

Let go of the distribution of goods first. The key now is to improve the supply chain. As long as you can produce products, you will complete the goal of a stage.

Li Xianyun lowered his requirements here, and Dawn also heaved a sigh of relief.

Doing the supply chain is sending money, and distributing goods is collecting money. The difficulty of the two is obviously different.

Do the simple ones first.

His side is easy, but Li Feng's head is big.

Business needs are higher!

Now Li Xianyun not only asks to take over business overseas, but also asks to take on a full set of jobs as much as possible.

Because holographic movies are not the same as IMAX, IMAX is still a curtain, but holographic movies are true three-dimensional, so there is no such thing as how many 3D lenses are in a movie, and holographic movies need to be made in full.

It is impossible for you to see a person who is still three-dimensional in one second, and run to the screen in the next second.

The audience doesn't accept it either!
So it had to be a full set shoot.

After the full set is shot, it can be converted, holograms and curtains are also fine.

Fortunately, Li Xianyun made an exception and agreed, and the production cost was reduced.

It is a trivial matter for the studio to make less money, but the key is to force the film and television company to urge the theater to introduce equipment.

Wouldn't it be a good thing to let the White Devils beat themselves up?

So Li Feng and the bosses of Baike went to some film and television companies.

In the end, it was Li Xianyun who took the initiative to propose a plan: Yisheng Media would provide a production guarantee.

For example, a Hollywood film and television company wants to make a movie with a budget of [-] million.

Then they will do the script, set up the project, organize the cast team, do the pre-rehearsal, and finally provide the studio, and Yisheng Media will be fully responsible for the rest.

During this period, the two parties will set up a project fund, and Company A will inject [-] million into the fund.

Then after agreeing to shoot, Party B, Yisheng Media will start the shooting, and Party B will bear all the funds used during the filming.

No matter how much you actually use, just do what you want anyway.

After the completion, Party B will hand over the film to Party A, and Party A can choose whether to accept the film.

If Party A accepts it, [-] million of the project funds will belong to Party B, that is to say, Party A will pay for the filming cost.

If Party A is not satisfied with the completion of the film, the [-] million in the project funds will be returned to Party A, and the film will be handed over to Party B.In other words, Yisheng Media bought this film by itself, which is equivalent to producing it by itself.

The biggest advantage of doing this is that Party B got the full budget, and Party A minimized the risk: they almost contributed a script fee, studio usage fee, producer fee, pre-show director and casting director and a small number of personnel. Cost - Party B will not settle with them for this part, otherwise you will have no pressure at all.

In exchange for this part of the payment, after the film comes out, Party A has the first choice.

Take it if you think it’s good, and don’t if you think it’s bad.

For Party A, the biggest advantage of doing this is that you never have to worry about going over budget, let alone a bad film, because you have the right to choose, the risk is minimized, and the upfront payment is equivalent to insurance premium.

Of course, Yisheng Media is not afraid. With their production costs, a film with a budget of 2000 million gold can be completed with a maximum of [-] million gold - mainly because of the cost of actors, transportation expenses, etc. The cost of flying across the sea is not low.

So even if Party A doesn’t want it, they can keep the film for themselves, and then give it to Baike to sell, and then take it back as an imported blockbuster and sell it in China, which also saves the director’s fee and the script fee.

In this case, Yisheng Media's authority over production and cost accounting has also increased significantly.To put it bluntly, if you have the right to choose, then I have the right to make decisions.

Of course, in order to prevent white devils from cheating, Yisheng Media also requires that once the official shooting process is entered, there should be no personnel changes. If the actors are halfway through the filming, it will be a breach of contract by Party A, and the [-] million will belong to us.

Therefore, [-] million must be transferred to the project funds first - Yisheng Media will not do such things as follow-up accounts.

Too much debt!

In addition, only 2D movies can be made, and 3D versions cannot be made. This means that it must be a small production. After all, 2D is not popular now.But 2D movies also have an advantage, that is, they emphasize plot and art, which is exactly what Yisheng Media is not good at now-Li Xianyun, are you also a boss with a background in scripts?

Finally, there is another advantage that this kind of film requires less scenes and is more efficient. In theory, it can be finished in five days to one week.

Overall, this approach basically protects the interests of both parties.

In this case, Party A is likely to deliberately lower the budget, so the two parties will have a lot of arguments on the details, and directly verify all the costs in the early stage.

In the end, the general direction only took one day, and the details were arguing for a long time. After the rehearsal was completed and all the details were counted, Yisheng Media took the initiative to make some concessions, and it was finally completed.

This is also the fastest time to preview the simulation system. Basically, Yi Sheng put all his energy on it, working overtime on the production.

In this way, Li Feng took over four of them in one go.

According to Li Xianyun's request, the filming should be completed within one month, so he did not hesitate to spend some extra costs.

The four blockbuster films have a total budgeted investment of 5000 million yuan, and Yisheng Media actually invested [-] million yuan.

Fortunately, Yisheng Media is not short of money, and the surplus assets of overseas companies can be settled.

In order to meet this requirement, even the studio's headquarters has suspended the VIP service - the ghost has passed, and there is no way to take care of it here.

Fortunately, the efficiency is extremely high. The combined shooting of four films is a matter of one month, and it will be fine if there are two major productions in succession next month. The reason is that there is a lot of external pressure.

Easily shake the pot.

For this reason, everyone is also preparing for the series, and they are busy.

Hollywood is also very interested in Yisheng Media's production methods, and is indeed very interested in seeing their super efficiency.

Therefore, with the active cooperation of both parties, all parties completed all plans by the end of June, and the efficiency was unprecedentedly high.

Li Xianyun personally led the team and flew directly to Hollywood with the crew.

This time it was Big Fat Amory himself who came to pick up the plane.

Seeing Li Xianyun, he opened his mouth and said, "Hi, Li, welcome!"

"Huh? Can you speak Chinese?" Li Xianyun smiled.

"Oh, I've been studying recently." Emory laughed.

Now Li Xianyun is his big backer, so naturally he wants to learn Chinese well, not only him, but there are many people in the whole company who understand Chinese.

"Not bad." Li Xianyun put his arms around his shoulders and said, "Is the studio ready?"

"Come to work?" Emory asked.

"The crew, every day is money." Li Xianyun pointed behind his back.

Emory glanced at it, and said strangely: "It seems that there are only fifty people?"

"They came in groups, someone has already gone to shoot the location, so the scenic spots have been completed, and the next step is to shoot the actors, just do the fill-in-the-blank questions." Li Xianyun directly handed the mobile phone to Emory, which showed that they had already assembled video.

Emory looked at it, and it was full of scenes, and the whole video was almost arranged according to the order of the script.It's a pity that there is either no one in the venue, or it is a mess of people. Anyway, it has everything, but there are no actors, no plot, and no dubbing and lighting.

While watching the video, Emery had to go through the script in his mind.

When you see a certain venue, you can automatically fill in your brain: oh, this scene should be what kind of plot in the first scene, who is doing what, although the scene may be empty, or some old lady is sweeping the floor, you In my mind, I want to replace the old lady with a beautiful woman who is affectionately with a handsome guy.

Although he was used to the green screen, Emory still couldn't adapt to this kind of scene that was more perverted than the green screen.

He shook his head and said, "I can't imagine that I can fight like this."

"You have seen it before." Li Xianyun smiled.

"Where's the light?" Amory asked.

"Just hit the actors on the spot."

"That's the facial lighting effect, what about the ambient light? Some parts of the venue you shot didn't use lights." Emory said.

Americans pay special attention to light and shadow effects when making movies.

You can edit and synthesize actors and props, and you can even do some art, but can you also add lighting?Especially the ambient light, which is to act on the object to form the contrast effect of light and shadow, this is not a problem of adding pictures.

If you have to do it all in post-production, wouldn’t it become a cartoon?
"Oh, after the actors are filmed for this part, they will be composited first, and then the venue will be added again. At that time, the lighting will be added and adjusted according to the actors' conditions, so the quality will be better." Li Xianyun replied.

The process of the studio is constantly improving, and the process is becoming more and more fragmented.The meaning of repeated framing is to make it more refined and suitable.

Emory was stunned, he really had never heard of making a movie like this!
According to this model, you have to do three rounds of post-production alone, one round of shooting, one round of post-production, another round of filming and another round.

Letting other people operate like this, they can shoot for three years.

Li Xianyun said: I only do such fine-tuned productions, and I don't do this with ordinary films.
