Chapter 180: Mr. Meng really dares to blow it

A theatrical version is in the works.

The firepower movie has made a good start, and whether Pengda Film and Television can gain a firm foothold in the film market depends on how this second big movie performs.

The project was first announced at the Pengda Carnival, and the script was completed last week. The pre-production of a big movie is underway, which includes casting, location collection, budgeting, and setting up a crew.

Because it is the "Ultraman Theater Version", the location work is very simple, and it can be done in the model area of Ultra Land. There are even a few exterior scenes, which can also be done in Jiangchuan, and the crew does not need to travel too far.

The budget is guaranteed to be 55 million, and the majority of the budget is mainly used for post-production special effects and actors' salaries. In view of the fact that Pengda has a special effects company, this part actually saves a lot of money.

Some people may ask, why can Pengda still spend so much money if it has a special effects company? Could it be that the people in the special effects company are just doing their jobs and dragging Meng Tsai back?

To be able to ask this kind of question, it seems that I really don't understand the special effects industry.

The special effects burn money mainly because of the three major heads of hardware, software and labor. Pengda has special effects, but the salary has to be paid, right?

Not to mention the hardware, can you still use your own "chicken host" to do special effects?

With the rapid development of science and technology, electronic equipment is updated so quickly, in order to make the special effects of big movies better, it is necessary to update the equipment.

As soon as this hardware is replaced, it is a large amount of money flying away.

The second is software, Pengda special effects do not have the ability to write independent special effects software, you need to use software developed by others, these software are not cheap, and the software vendor of the chicken thief, the update frequency is fast!

You say it's a good thing to update quickly?

Good thing, every time these software is updated, there is an extra charge. You can use the old version to make the new version of the special effects, and the software vendor can kneel on the ground and kowtow to you.

"The special effects department started too low!"

Wang Kui sighed: "I used to do five-cent special effects, and the software and hardware used were too old, and this upgrade will cost a lot of money!"

Spend your money, spend it.

Meng Langqiang couldn't help but feel pained and said: "This is all necessary investment, just like if you farm the land, how can you do it without buying seeds? ”

I can't bear the child and can't catch the wolf!

In order for the children to see better special effects, Uncle Meng's deflated wallet is not in the way at all.

When it comes to budget, we have to mention the issue of starring salaries.

Who is the star of the theatrical version?

Of course, it's the three Ultra brothers!

You say real people? That's hard to say.

In the script, every member of the old Cotter team plays.

Meng Nan's words, Uncle Meng himself made a cameo, and Fuji Akiko had to invite Tao Mi...... Uncle Meng will cry when he sees this girl's worth, and Uncle Wang will be silent when he sees it.

"Kill her!"

Wang Kui made a gesture to wipe his neck and said: "Kill Fuji Mingzi, just say that she died of illness, turn around and hang a posthumous portrait, Mr. Meng, you will be fooled by a little more tears." ”

You're so dirty!

Meng Lang shook his head and said, "It's not good to do this, it's better to let Meng Nan cheat and find a new love." ”

"It's not good! The male protagonist is such a scumbag, he will teach bad children!"

Then don't give the scene shots, just as the Cotter team doesn't have this person? It doesn't seem to work, as the only female member of the Cotter team, without her appearance, it will definitely lose a lot of color.

"Forget it, let's invite her. Meng Lang sighed and said.

Everyone is so familiar with each other, they will definitely be able to bargain. Wouldn't it be nice to cut the price of 8 million to 5 million?

In addition to Tao Mi, there is another person whose salary is not low.

Zhang Yi, who has played Captain Cote Yi Qian in TV dramas, has won many awards as an excellent actor of the Emperor.

Although there is a big difference between the TV emperor and the actor, the salary of the TV series cannot be applied to the movie, and he does not have many roles in this role, so the salary cannot be as high as the heroine Tao Migao.

But two million is not low!

How many planes and tanks does Uncle Meng have to sell to earn two million? How can you easily earn money by playing a supporting role?

"A million love to act or not, if you don't act, I will hang a portrait of you if you don't act, and arrange for the Cotter team to cry and mourn collectively. ”

Mr. Meng is really shameless!

Zhang Yi chatted with his agent, and considering that there were not many movie scenes, he nodded and agreed to Meng Lang.

It is difficult for TV drama actors to enter the big screen, although the salary given by Mr. Meng is not high, but these supporting roles still accept this film contract.

Including Tao Mi.

At this point, all members of the Cotter team have been assembled.

In addition to the Cotter team, the big movie has another important supporting role.

Severn's human body actor!

It's not appropriate to say that the human body is human, it should be the appearance of Saiwen after becoming a human.

Although in this big movie, this role is only a small supporting role, and the role is not as many as a few veterans of the Cotter team. But it is necessary to take into account the follow-up Severn TV dramas, and you can't choose them randomly.

First of all, it is of good conduct, no bad habits, and a good image at a young age!

It's very important to be young, you can't find an old actor to play the human body, and you will hang up in a few years, how can Uncle Meng cheat money in the theater version?

There are not many actors who meet the requirements, and Meng Lang doesn't want to find an actor in the circle to play the human body.

He wants to find an ordinary person who doesn't mix in the entertainment industry, and after playing Saiwen, he will be an ordinary person again. I'm not afraid of having no acting skills, I'm afraid of breaking black news in the future.

There is no acting skills to cultivate, and even if the acting skills are good, Meng Lang will not dare to use them.

The casting work did not end until the beginning of April, and after the actors were confirmed, the big movie was officially launched.

Boot ceremony?

Forget this, although the carnival painting cake is a fact, Meng Lang can't admit it.

does not hold a start-up ceremony, but the publicity cannot be left behind, after the establishment of the crew, Meng Lang's confidence has increased greatly, and his painting skills have become more and more proficient.

"It's definitely going to be released this year!"

"The box office of the firepower movie is 800 million, and the Ultraman movie I think it starts at 1 billion!"

"The box office champion of the year must be Meng Zai! Don't even think about it!"

Whether you believe it or not, Meng Lang believes it anyway.

The five cents special effects of the firepower movie have a box office of 800 million, is it too much to set a billion for the Ultraman movie? The first movie of his debut won a box office of one billion, who would dare to say that Meng Zai can't film in the future?

Wang Kui was very scared of his statement.

He pulled Ma Teng and muttered secretly: "Isn't Mr. Meng crazy because of the stimulation, isn't he? Didn't he say that he would hold a celebration party with 500 million before, why is this one billion?"

Meng always dares to brag!

With a box office of 800 million in a big movie, how much water does he have in his heart?

Besides, why is the box office high for movies with big firepower? It is not the cooperation of opponents in the same period, and it is all dependent on the foil of peers to achieve this result.

Without the Year of the Monkey limited yo-yo, without the backing of opponents, it would be good if a movie with big firepower could win 300 million box office.

That's the times make heroes!

Depending on the time, the results will naturally be different.

It's still unclear what the theatrical version will look like, and the schedule has not been decided, so it's starting to blow a billion box office?

Ma Teng tilted his head and asked, "Do you think you are urinating yellow?"

Forget it!

Isn't Mr. Meng's salary fragrant?
