Chapter 3: The Boy King of Firepower

Seeing that Lao Meng was a little excited, Meng Lang hurriedly laughed and said: "How many years have you bought that house? It's been five years, right? You said that I just graduated, and it's going to be a matter of a few years to get married, and when I get married, it won't be a ten-year-old house? You let me be a wedding house that no one has lived in for ten years? It's better to kill me! Dad! Listen to me, and you'll be done with it! When you go back and make money, you can buy another set!"

"You, you, you......"

Lao Meng was so angry that he didn't speak for a long time, and just when Meng Lang wondered if he was angry with Lao Meng, he heard him say: "Okay, okay, it's all left to you anyway, as long as you don't sell the house where I live with your mother, you can sell the rest." The real estate deed is here, and tomorrow I will go to the listing, sell it and call you the money. ”

"Thank you, Dad!"

Hanging up the phone, Meng Lang began to think about how he should spend the money next.

The area of the house in the Garden Bridge is not small, and the location is excellent, so the market price cannot be less than 4 million. If Lao Meng is not corrupt, it will be 4 million in the account, counting the remaining 800,000 in his hand, the production cost of the entire "Fire Boy King" is almost 5 million!

It will definitely not work if he adds more, even if Lao Meng supports him again, he will not go bankrupt to gamble with him.

A house has almost touched Lao Meng's bottom line, with Meng Lang's understanding of his father, no matter how much he sells and cries poorly, Lao Meng will never help.

Of course, Meng Lang will not ask Lao Meng for money anymore.

Because five million is enough for him to shoot "Fire Boy King"!

The original version of "Fire Boy King", with a production cost of more than 10 million, was produced by 12 animation studios led by Aofei Animation.

Considering the time gap between the two worlds, the time when the original world Aofei made the Firepower Boy King was 2004, and the technology of this world is almost similar to that of the original world in 2014.

With a time difference of ten years, the cost is definitely much lower.

And the original version of "Fire Boy King" was produced together with the anime version and the live-action version, Meng Lang didn't do the anime version at first, and if he made the live-action version alone, five million would definitely be more than enough.

......

The first thing a crew needs is a variety of equipment and personnel to control them.

As a senior old fritter in the industry, Meng Lang will not do stupid things to buy what he lacks, but found an equipment leasing company and leased the lowest set of crew equipment at a total price of 580,000 yuan for three months.

Equipment leasing is not expensive, and insuring equipment is a big part of the money.

The equipment is done, and the next thing is the people.

Producer, director, and screenwriter Meng Lang can do it alone, which takes advantage of the experience of leading a group in his previous life.

Cinematography, scene notes, lighting, recording, makeup, props......

Someone needs to be responsible for these tasks, Meng Lang is a human being, not a god, and it is impossible for him to take care of every position in the entire crew. Even the lowest-cost TV series needs to be equipped with these personnel.

In order to solve this problem, Meng Lang went to Hengdian alone, and after paying a little price, he quickly found all the crew members he needed.

Although, none of them are very professional, but at least they are enough.

This is the filming of "Firepower Boy King", not the annual drama of "Latent". As long as the yo-yo will glow, the camera lighting makeup spicy chicken is not impossible to use at all.

The construction of the crew can be regarded as a waste of Meng Lang's thoughts, but in comparison, the actors are much easier to find.

The actors of "The King of Firepower" are easy to find, as long as they are young actors. Unlike "Balala Little Demon Fairy" and "Bakugan Kid", you have to deliberately choose child stars.

The protagonist Li Fei, Meng Lang chose a third-tier young actor named He Yifan.

Li Fei has a lot of roles in "The Fire Boy King", and he can't do it without a little acting support. Although we are filming an embarrassing drama, how can the protagonist play yo-yo with Sima face throughout the whole process?

Therefore, Meng Lang deliberately spent 500,000 yuan to find He Yifan to star.

He Yifan was born in the men's group, but because of the collapse of the brokerage company and the lack of resource support from the new owner, he is unknown in the entertainment industry.

Meng Lang has watched several of his works, not to mention how good his acting skills are, but at least he has reached the passing standard for starring in divine dramas.

The most important thing is that Meng Lang chose him because he looks very similar to the actor of the original Li Fei in "The Fire Boy King", and the appearance of the big brother in the sunshine next door meets his needs very well.

The protagonist Li Fei is determined to be played by He Yifan, and the rest of the supporting roles basically have nothing to hesitate about.

Anyway, this drama is mainly to promote yo-yos, the protagonist's acting skills are online, and the rest of the people don't care even if they have a face throughout the whole process.

But the role of Millie made Meng Lang fall into a struggle.

Frankly speaking, when he first watched "The Fire Boy King", what impressed him the most was Li Fei's "Silver Dragon in the Sky", which was so cool that he had no friends, that it was Miss Millie's sweet smile.

At that time, the character of Millie was regarded as a dream lover by many years.

Every teenager who plays yo-yo has two doubts in his heart.

Why won't my balls glow?

Why don't girls like Millie around me play yo-yos?

The role of Millie is quite popular in "The Fire Boy King", and even faintly surpasses the protagonist Li Fei.

Who will play this role?

Meng Lang fell into deep thought.

The bids of good-looking actresses in the entertainment industry are basically not low, even if it is the third tier in the entertainment industry, as long as you look for her, the offer is guaranteed to scare you to death.

Average-looking actresses are cheap, but that's pointless.

Isn't that called Millie?

After thinking about it, Meng Lang finally made a decision.

For the role of Millie, you must be looking for a beautiful vase, but you don't need to find a vase that is expensive with acting skills. Just find a person from the group performance who has a passing appearance and a neighborly smile on the line.

The main thing is that there is no money!

Just preparing this crew, even if an episode is not filmed, it will cost nearly 3 million! If you find another expensive vase, you will not be able to bear it.

"Sell yo-yos! Sell yo-yos!Sell yo-yos!" recited the incantation three times in a row, and Meng Lang finally suppressed the idea of finding a big name in his heart.

Yo-yo is the main character!

What Li Fei Millie, get out of the way!

......

After a week of tossing, "Firepower Boys" is finally on!

At the opening ceremony, Lao Meng, who was specially invited to watch the ceremony, applauded in confusion, looking at the decent crew, and was amazed.

Did you really get it out?

"Where did you kid find someone? I don't think this equipment is cheap, how much is left of the four million that sold the house?" Old Meng looked at the right time, and when no one was paying attention to him, he pulled Meng Lang over and asked.

"There are two million left!"

Meng Lang smashed his mouth, and said with a look of unfinished business: "It's still not enough money, it costs two million to do special effects in the later stage, and you have to find a way to promote it after it is edited." Combined with the cost during the shoot, it may not be enough. ”

When Lao Meng heard this, he nodded clearly.

It's good to have a plan, he's really afraid that this kid doesn't know how to make a mess.
