China Entertainment Anchor
Chapter 720 Preparations
The group of people dispersed in the afternoon. Since the film had huge investment, they booked it for the crew of "The Meg" at a nearby hotel at a break-even price.
After Zhang Yang arrived at the hotel, he told his assistant without even packing his luggage: "Go and inform several investors and media to hold a press conference for the launch of "The Meg" on the 20th."
"No. 20?" the assistant said uncertainly. After he finished speaking, he secretly glanced at Liu Yifei next to him.
May 5th has such a good meaning, the boss actually chose this day to start the movie!
"Only the 20th, any questions?" Zhang Yang asked.
"No, I'll go right away." The assistant agreed and left immediately.
After Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei tidied up the room, Liu Yifei took out the supplements and asked, "Are they all going to be given to Guo Fan tonight?"
Zhang Yang casually took a box containing ginseng and looked at the label that it contained a wild ginseng that was over 50 years old.
"What are you doing for him? Let's bring the Ganoderma lucidum to him today. The ginseng and deer antlers will depend on the situation." Zhang Yang opened the box and looked at the ginseng. The more he looked at it, the more he liked it and he rejected Liu Yifei's proposal.
Liu Yifei looked at Zhang Yang and felt amused: "This 50-year-old wild ginseng is considered average in our family, and it's not like there are none that are over a hundred years old."
"This is too much tonic. Guo Fan is easily deficient at the moment, so it would be better to use Ganoderma lucidum to recuperate him first." Zhang Yang said with great consideration for Guo Fan.
The Ganoderma lucidum Zhang Yang brought to Guo Fan this time was also a good thing. It was Linzhi Ganoderma.
It is a white-fleshed Linzhi produced in Linzhi City in western my country, at an altitude of 1200 meters to 3500 meters, in a green and pollution-free environment.
And because the special growth environment is the plateau zone with high altitude, large temperature difference, and strong sunlight, its effective ingredients and biological activity are much higher than other similar Ganoderma lucidum.
Best of all, it's also wild and not cultivated.
Even cultivated Ganoderma lucidum costs more than 800 per kilogram, and the wild price is generally more than 10 times.
Although Zhang Yang is quibbling, what he said is not unreasonable. Although both of them are good at strengthening the foundation and improving the vitality, ginseng is slightly warm in nature and Ganoderma lucidum is mild in nature, which is more reliable.
Liu Yifei did not argue with Zhang Yang. That night, the two of them took Shu Chang and their respective assistants to a private room in the hotel and met Guo Fan and Gong Geer.
As soon as everyone met, the assistant sent Ganoderma lucidum to Guo Fan and said, "The boss specially asked me to take it with me before he came. He said it was for you, Director Guo, to warm and nourish your body."
Guo Fan saw that Zhang Yang really brought him something good and quickly thanked him. Liu Yifei looked on and thought to herself, what would Guo Fan think if he knew that Zhang Yang had temporarily detained a wild ginseng.
When Zhang Yang thanked Guo Fan, he said with great concern: "You have a good rest these days and hope that you can return to normal by the time our movie is finished filming here."
"I still have to work on "The Wandering Earth". I've gathered all the people who can't work on the team, but I'm taking a rest!" Guo Fan said awkwardly.
Zhang Yang thought for a while and suggested: "Then you work from 9 to 5 plus two days off these days."
After he finished speaking to Guo Fan, he looked at Gong Geer and said, "You should also keep an eye on him. Your partner should take care of all aspects."
After listening to Zhang Yang's words, Gonggel thought to himself, I am his partner, but I am not his wife and I have to take care of everything. It is really difficult to be a partner.
He nodded to Zhang Yang with a helpless expression.
Soon after a waiter came in, Liu Yifei said as usual: "Let's serve 12 of your signature dishes!"
There were only five people eating here today. It was too much and it was a waste.
Guo Fan and Gong Geer looked a little weird when they heard the signature dish.
"What's wrong? What's the problem?" Liu Yifei quickly noticed their expressions.
"Maybe they are tired of the signature dishes here." Shu Chang analyzed from the side.
"The food you have here is pretty good, are you tired of eating seafood?" Zhang Yang smiled at Guo Fan after hearing Shu Chang's analysis.
They both laughed and said nothing.
"Then please serve more vegetables." Liu Yifei changed her request to the waiter who had not yet left.
The dinner was finished while talking and laughing.
In the blink of an eye, time came to the 19th. In the morning, Zhang Yang was communicating with people from the Tengxun special effects team at the base. His assistant came over and whispered to him: "Today, the people from Warner Bros. are bringing Steve Elton to visit. ”
Zhang Yang was a little surprised after hearing the assistant's words. Why did Steve come here?
"Just ask the staff here to pick them up." Zhang Yang thought for a while and explained.
When the assistant heard this, he knew the boss's attitude, so he turned around and arranged for someone to go.
At around ten o'clock, the crew arranged by Warner took Steve to Zhang Yang's side.
As soon as Steve met Zhang Yang, he couldn't wait to say: "Director, can I go see that shark?"
"Do you have any special thoughts about it?" Zhang Yang looked at Steve and wondered, this movie has nothing to do with him anymore.
"I just wanted to see what it would look like in the end," Steve explained.
Zhang Yang didn't hesitate and took him directly to the underwater production center. When Steve saw the seven-meter-long shark with an open mouth and a height of four to five meters, he shouted: "OMG, this is really cool. If the director If you tell me what you think earlier, I think we will have a good cooperation."
Zhang Yang's assistant and Warner's crew looked at Steve strangely, are you crazy? You want Zhang Yang to tell you what he thinks?
Steve pointed to the props and explained to Zhang Yang: "Director, do you know? Damn Disney actually wanted to install a pair of wings on the Megalodon. How could I agree?"
Zhang Yang said noncommittally, "Don't you still sell all the rights to Warner this time?"
Steve looked at Zhang Yang's expression, as if he knew what he was thinking, so he spread his hands and said: ""The Deep" has been delayed for too many years, and I really didn't want to wait any longer before finally agreeing.
Director, I felt that this movie would be successful just by looking at this shark prop. "
At the end of his speech, he also sent his blessings to Zhang Yang. "Thank you. I also think this movie will be successful. After all, I haven't failed before, right?" Zhang Yang responded with a smile.
Steve was choked by Zhang Yang's words, but he didn't care. After seeing other props in the movie, he left the film and television base.
In fact, from his special trip to China to see this prop, we know that Steve still has feelings for "The Meg".
Zhang Yang continued to communicate with the Teng Xun special effects people after Steve left.
At this time, Warner's team members and Zhang Yang's assistant began to check the use of funds.
He looked at the current use of the crew's funds and frowned secretly at first. Zhang Yang alone accounted for 8000% of the director's salary of US$40 million, and Liu Yifei was also arranged to receive a salary of US$2000 million by Zhang Yang.
In other words, the cost of making a movie is less than US$1 million.
But then he saw that Zhang Yang actually only offered Jason Statham a salary of 900 million US dollars, and he couldn't help but gasped.
"How could Statham agree to this salary?" Warner staff muttered in a low voice.
With Jason Statham’s current net worth, it’s impossible to hire him to act if he doesn’t have US$1000 million. As a result, it only cost US$900 million this time.
"If the film directed by my boss is paid less, I think he will agree to it!" The assistant has a good ear. He heard the murmurs of the Warner staff and responded confidently in English.
Warner's staff were speechless after hearing this, but the assistant did have the confidence to say so.
Next, regarding the cost of setting up the scenery, he looked at it and exclaimed in disbelief, why it cost so little.
In fact, Warner internally made preparations to increase the budget after knowing that Zhang Yang asked Liu Yifei to star in "The Meg".
But now they see that the entire scenery only cost about 1000 million US dollars. They thought it couldn't be completed without 3000 million US dollars.
The assistant looked at the exclamation of the Warner staff and said calmly: "It seems that Warner needs to make a new assessment of the production costs in China."
"But it's still too little."
"If we change the director, it might be a little longer." The assistant reminded.
Warner's employees secretly thought that another director would not charge such a high director's fee.
In this way, after leaving 1000 million US dollars in publicity for this movie, the cost that can be used for special effects can be about 5 million US dollars. In addition, the special effects are done in Tengxun, which is completely enough.
In fact, the reason why so little money was spent on the setting this time was partly due to Guo Fan. If Zhang Yang asked his own team to do it, not to mention US$2000 million, US$1500 million would definitely not be enough.
Guo Fan is really talented in this aspect. He can do the greatest thing with the least amount of money. In this aspect, only Wu Erzhen in China can compare with him.
After Zhang Yang returned to the hotel for dinner in the evening, he was about to go out for a walk with Liu Yifei, when his assistant brought him unexpected news.
Tomorrow's press conference for the launch of the film will not only be attended by China Film and Wanda, but also by Huayi and Xingmei.
"What are the people from these two companies doing here?" Liu Yifei asked Assistant Zhang Yang after hearing what he said.
Zhang Yang thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I can't figure it out for a while."
"Boss, this time Wanda will not only come over with Wang Sicong, but also his father and Zeng Maojun." The assistant continued.
Zhang Yang was upset by what his assistant said. This group of people would not come over for no reason. One or two of them probably had something to ask him for.
"Is there anyone else?" Zhang Yang asked.
The assistant shook his head and said that was all.
After he finished reporting and left, Zhang Yang and Liu Yifei went out to relax. Currently, the entire Oriental Movie Theater was full of construction sites. If it weren't for the fact that it was close to the seaside, there wouldn't be much to see.
The two were walking hand in hand at the beach for a while, and Liu Yifei suddenly said: "I don't know why I miss Zhang Hongyi a little bit."
"You've only been out for two or three days and you already miss him?" Zhang Yang turned to look at Liu Yifei and said in surprise.
"Maybe I'm used to being with him. Do you think he will miss me too? Should we have a video call with him?" Liu Yifei said and took out her mobile phone.
"No, if you call me, your mother will suffer." Zhang Yang quickly dissuaded her.
It would be okay if Zhang Hongyi couldn't see Liu Yifei, but if he did, it would be easier to cause trouble.
Liu Yifei just suddenly got into a mood, and she calmed down after being told by Zhang Yang.
The next day, May 20th.
This was originally an ordinary day, but it has a similar pronunciation to I love you, so female friends have another day to receive gifts.
Early this morning, domestic netizens were sent a message that Huo Jianhua and Ruby Lin were officially announced to be together.
After the news, everyone's first reaction was congratulations, but the congratulations were not too strong. With the development of the Internet, the old events of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge" were mentioned more often, and many people in the mainland had a bad impression of Lin Xinru.
In addition, "Mars Intelligence Bureau" was aired in April this year, with the program production team of Xiangtan Satellite TV, and Wang Xuexu joining the show, it is natural that this variety show will become popular after the fourth or fifth episode.
There is a regular guest in this variety show named Zhou Jie. He still defends himself on the show. Now it is not an exaggeration to say that Lin Xinru is at the forefront.
And Huo Jianhua will soon be taught how to behave, and all his fans will disappear as soon as he gets married.
