Chapter 372 Even More Frightening Devil Minions (Earth)
The news of the fire on the set of Berkeley Time Warner's "Spawn" was not considered a big news. After all, the set was insured. Except for the insurance company, no one would lose money. The media focused on the original During the filming of "Spawn", which has been overdue, I feel that "Spawn" is in more trouble now.

That's right, the studio was burned, so you can switch to another studio, but Time Warner has no studios for "Spawn" in a short period of time, and those studios are full of schedules. If you change the studios of other film companies, then all scenes Construction will take at least another half a month.

What the crew of "Spawn" never mentioned was that among the flames that ignited above the shooting studio that night, there were bursts of screams and laughter like a whistling wind, as well as the faint face shape formed by the flames in midair. .

Jason Cullen almost passed out when he heard the news that the studio was burned, and he was relieved when he knew that no one was dead. If someone died in this accident, even if there was insurance, the producer would have to pay part of the compensation, and that would be Adding insult to injury to Spawn's already tight budget.

Now, Jason Cullen quickly estimated how much "Spawn" would lose if he found a new shooting location for scene construction and deferred wages paid to actors such as Xiao Lizi and Long Ma.

At least $3000 million more to spend.

It is equivalent to almost overspending the investment of a Coulomb house.

In order to deal with this situation, the investors first held a meeting. Lin Yuhang said that although no one in China followed this project, his family’s ancestral grave with a mine is already ready to try, so everyone does not have to worry about follow-up funding.

"That's great." Jason Cullen breathed a sigh of relief.

"But your investment will be diluted." Lin Yuhang persuaded Jason Cullen, "Jason, if you don't continue to follow the investment, your proportion of the huge profits in the future will be smaller."

Jason Cullen is indeed thinking about this issue. It is a risk for him to choose Truman and "Spawn". If Truman's film is not an R-rated film, this investment opportunity will not come to Cullen House.

Therefore, he gritted his teeth and decided to come up with another 1000 million US dollars, which already required Cullen House to sell iron.

During the meeting, Truman was distracted. Everyone knew that he was communicating with God, so they didn't bother him. When everything was settled, it was decided that Lin Yuhang and Xing Shuwen would contribute another 3000 million US dollars, or 2.2 million yuan. After Cullen House invested another 1000 million US dollars, everyone woke up Truman and asked him what he thought.

"I don't have too many thoughts." Truman said, "God said that until now, the devil's minions have not shown their real body. She is just cursing us, but her power is already strong enough."

"What does that mean?" Jason Cullen was a little puzzled.

"Maybe we won't know who she is until the movie is done," Truman explained.

But Jason Cullen was even more confused.

"We have to hurry up and shoot..." Feng Zikai, as the director, also participated in this meeting, and suddenly he had an idea, "Just finish shooting a movie?"

"It's still going to be shown," Truman said.

"Oh..." Feng Zikai nodded, "I have an idea."

Next, Feng Zikai began to talk about his thoughts. This idea can be said to have come from God, and Feng Zikai gave up his IQ in exchange for the inspiration for filming.

……

The cast of Spawn moved to Disney's set.

The media noticed that "Spawn" has been filming for nearly 40 days, and has not yet started filming exteriors. According to previous Hollywood hero movies, or Truman's experience in filming "Shang-Chi 2", this has been postponed for many days. Move the set...

"I'm afraid that the budget will increase significantly. Can "Spawn" still be able to continue filming? Can this annual 'giant production' that gathers geeks and superstars still meet us?"

Xiao Lizi also has such worries.

It took 3 days to transfer the studio, and it would take another week to reinstall and set up the studio. In this case, there would be less than 20 days left on the two-month contract he signed, and the film had not yet started shooting on location.

"I can give you some more of my schedule, but it's only 15 days." Xiao Lizi said to Truman and Feng Zikai.

Feng Zikai expressed his thanks.

Then Xiao Lizi's agent came over and said that it still needs 300 million US dollars.

Feng Zikai said to Truman after the talk: "I feel like we have been robbed."

"Do you need money for additional filming?" Truman was very puzzled.

Adam said, "Just charging an extra $300 million is already considered a concession."

Indeed, according to the contract, Xiao Lizi received less money. It is true that because he is a fan of "Spawn", he has favor and care.

And Feng Zikai also got what he wanted, the extra shooting time. During the week of rebuilding the studio, Xiao Lizi promised Feng Zikai and Truman that he could shoot some interior materials that were not in the script. It can be used freely in the "Spawn" script and related derivative publications, but it must first be reviewed by Xiao Lizi.

Only one week.

"So what are we going to shoot?"

That night, when they gathered in a room that had just been built, Xiao Lizi, Long Ma, and Wesley all expressed doubts.

"This is the script." Feng Zikai distributed the script to everyone. It is not so much a script as a plot outline. It is only 10 thin pages, and the words are very random. It doesn't look like it was written long ago. Looks like it was just finished this afternoon.

The script doesn't even have a name, it just has a simple code name, Paradise.

"Interesting name." Xiao Lizi said, and then he flipped through the script, and saw that the content of the script was as simple as its pages, and most of them were indoor scenes, and they were all chatting scenes.

"Are we going to make an inflorescence film similar to "The Man from Earth"?" Long Ma asked.

"No, it's more like "Pen Fairy"." Feng Zikai said, "Because everything written in this script is true."

"Okay, it's interesting, but how do you convince me it's true?" Xiao Lizi showed an interested expression, "The script said that our studio caught fire because a demon minion was cursing us, only After the movie is finished, the devil's minions will reveal her true colors, so what should we do now?"

"Listen to the story first." Feng Zikai said, looking at Trumen.

Truman nodded: "I want to re-introduce myself. In fact, I am from heaven and I am the messenger of God."

Are you in the game?
Xiao Lizi looked at Truman, and he became interested in the serious expression he saw on Truman's face. Ever since Truman said that his performance was too obvious, Xiao Lizi had passed away on the surface, but he was still buried in his heart. with this matter.

Because Truman is too young and his achievements are too brilliant, Xiao Lizi has a sense of failure that he is the former wave who was shot to death on the beach, so at this moment, it is inevitable that he will have a contest.

"To be honest, I don't believe it. As your professor, I think it's an excuse for you not to finish your thesis." Xiao Li shook his head. In this sloppy script, he was Truman's professor, so the look on his face An authoritative sense of indifference emerges.

Into the play?
Long Ma is busy reading her own script. In the script, she is a student. What should she say? This kind of script has no lines at all, only character design and simple background experience.
