Li Shixin's choice made Li Ti completely desperate.

"Mr. Li, I have to confirm with you again. You know you're going to shoot a political propaganda work, right?"

Looking at Li Ti's angry appearance, Li Shixin blinked: "Ah, I know, what's wrong?"

"Although political propaganda works are political tasks given to us by the higher-level competent units, for this kind of film, the investment that the company can come up with is limited. It is impossible for the company to invest a lot of money in such a film.

And firefighting movies have not been filmed in China, and previous productions such as "Fire Ambition", "Fire Ground" and "Fire Fighting" have also invested more than 10 million yuan. However, the special effects of the fire scene were miserable, and the box office performance was average.

Mr. Li, if you shoot a family work like "As Long as Love", the company will give you an investment of 200 million yuan without blinking an eye. But this kind of political propaganda and fire protection works, even if you break the sky, you can come up with five million. It's a matter of your face.

Five million, you think...... What can you do for this kind of work that requires a lot of special effects? Or you can change it, fire is a realistic theme, but this realistic theme requires a lot of special effects to complete the shot. As a film and television investor, I am definitely not interested in such works. Why don't you change it, even if it's a police theme?"

Although he had made up his mind in his heart, Li Shi confidently understood that what Li Ti said was right.

What are the advantages of realistic themes?

First of all, it is life.

Most of the realistic themes are based on life, and there are character archetypes or phenomenon archetypes in the current society, which can naturally enhance the audience's sense of involvement and empathy.

The second point is...... It's relatively easy to make, and in simple terms, it's a way to save money!

If you don't consider the problem of casting, then under the current domestic film industry, which can be called complete, the production of realistic film and television works can be said to be effortless.

But the subject of fire protection is indeed a bit difficult to do, as Li Ti said. As a realistic theme, it needs a lot of special effects support.

As we all know, the three most difficult pictures to do in the field of special effects are water, fire and hair.

A one-minute fire special effect, done in a better special effects studio in China, may cost more than 100,000 yuan.

Therefore, the fire-themed movies previously filmed in China are either special effects that violate and deal with them, or they use a lot of literary dramas to offset the movie duration, and make firefighting movies look like love dramas.

However, in the face of Li Ti's worries, Li Shixin did not care.

Why?

Soon the account sharing of "As Long as Love" will come out, and the old man is rich!

There are thousands of disadvantages of not having money, but there is only one benefit of having money.

The kind that does whatever you want!

What's more, Li Shixin at the end of the animation studio has long been interested in expanding into special effects. For the current domestic film industry, an excellent special effects team is more expensive than an excellent film team.

Seeing Li Shixin's iron-hearted appearance, Li Ti knew that he couldn't change anything.

"Nacheng, if you have to shoot, then I'll arrange it for you. I'll ask the political announcement side to contact you, you get the script done as soon as possible, and I'll give you a project report when I get back. But after all, invest five million, and you can't do more. ”

Seeing that Li Ti looked like a dead pig, Li Shixin smiled secretly.

The matter was settled.

In the next two days, Li Shixin did nothing else in Shanghai.

first communicated lovingly with Xu Ge under the condition of peace and reciprocity, and officially annexed the studio that had been mixed up through the two filming of "Yan Baoxia" and "As Long as Love".

Although during the friendly consultation, Xu Ge put forward a different opinion, "I want to make some achievements while staying in the studio, why should I merge with you".

But in the end, under the strong persuasion of Xinye, "Your studio has been raised for three years, and the only two works that have made achievements are called "Yan Baoxia" and "As Long as Love", what other achievements have you achieved?", an agreement and consensus were reached.

Next, Li Shixin met with Cheng Ba, Lu Jiu and Chen Shi, three cheap apprentices who returned to Huhai after performing in other places in Xu Ge's mansion in Huhai.

Knowing that his selling relationship has been transferred from Huaqi Brokerage Company to Li Shixin's name, his career has been smooth since the end of "Trainee", and the three spiritual guys who have been moving forward step by step on the road of idol fresh meat are very happy.

After tearfully raising the question "Teacher, we have been trained according to idol standards for so long, what can we do in your studio?", and got Li Shixin's reply "The old man is a trainee, don't you think it's developing well now?", and learned that the company's decision has no room for change, Sanxiao accepted their fate with tears in his eyes.

After these few things have been dealt with, Li Shixin's studio has essentially been upgraded to version 2.0. After returning to Rongdian, I found an office location and put up the signboard.

It was at this time that there was movement on Li Ti's side.

A deputy director of the Shanghai Maritime Political Propaganda Department came to Huaqi Film and Television and met with Li Shixin.

The person who came was named Zheng Husheng, about forty years old. Although he is middle-aged, he is full of black and dense hair, but he looks extremely energetic.

There is no appearance of kidney deficiency at all.

"Teacher Li, I really didn't expect that Huaqi could give such great support to our political propaganda work, and let you be in charge of the directing work of this political propaganda work. Some time ago, my daughter complained to me, saying that she watched your "Just Love" in the movie theater, and that I was like an air person when she was a child, hahaha. Thank you, Mr. Li, for taking time out of his busy schedule and working hard!"

As soon as he met him, Li Shixin glanced at the small leader of the competent department.

Not for anything else, too good at talking.

A greeting greeting, praised himself and Huaqi.

This EQ ......

It's quite the style of an old man when he was young.

"Director Zheng praised falsely, saying that it was hard, or the leaders were hard. Without the care and hard work of the leading department, our domestic film and television industry would not be as prosperous as it is now, and naturally I would not have given an opportunity for an old actor like me who wants to die to get the current results. Therefore, the group attaches great importance to this year's political propaganda task, and after I finished "As Long as Love", I have actually said hello to me. The group attaches so much importance to it, to be honest, the old man is under a lot of pressure. movie, I am sure that the old man will do his best to do it, but this still depends on Director Zheng's support.

Raising his eyebrows, Li Shixin directly slapped the rainbow fart back.

Since you don't know the number of the other party's paths, it's very simple.

Boast about everything you can think of.

Listening to Li Shixin's greetings, Zheng Husheng looked at Li Ti on the side with satisfaction.

"Either it's an old artist, and the political consciousness is high! Okay, Mr. Li, let's not talk much. I heard Director Li say yesterday that you want to make a firefighting-themed movie. Right?"

"That's right. ”

After taking his seat, Li Shixin nodded.

"That's Mr. Li. It stands to reason that in principle, we do not make other requirements for the political propaganda tasks of various film and television companies, except for the content. But yesterday, I heard Director Li say that you want to shoot the theme of fire fighting, and the leaders of the department attach great importance to it. We immediately contacted the Political Department of the General Administration of Response, and they also took this matter very seriously. But at the same time, they have a request for me to discuss with you. ”

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Li Shixin cheered up.

"What requirements?"

"That's right. ”

Faced with the inquiry, Zheng Husheng licked his lips and said with a deep sigh: "It's the end of October now, and it's about to enter November." I don't know if Mr. Li understands that November 9 every year is our country's Fire Safety Day. The meaning of the fire department is to see if you can catch the shot. I can release the trailer of the work before 119. In November, the release will be carried out. ”

Faced with this request, Li Shixin frowned.

It's October 25th.

It's less than half a month until November 9th!

This job is very urgent!

Teacher Li...... Mr. Li?"

Just as Li Shixin was groaning, Zheng Husheng interrupted his thoughts.

"Of course, that's just the expectation of the General Directorate. We also know that making a movie is something that needs to be planned. If it's really difficult, forget it. ”

"It's not that it can't. ”

Li Shixin leaned back on the sofa and lifted Erlang's legs.

"Really?"

This time Zheng Husheng was really surprised.

"Really, don't say that the trailer will be released before November 9, and the feature film will be released before November 9, but there are two things. ”

"Teacher Li, you say!"

Li Shixin stretched out a finger: "First, I need the full support of the fire department, and in the plot of the movie, I need to use real cases as material!"

"I didn't say anything, I will coordinate with the Political Department of the Fire Department to send someone to assist you in shooting! Which area you want to shoot, you don't have to worry about the local fire department and government department, we will coordinate with you directly. In the plot review section, we will also say hello to the radio and television brothers. As long as there are no hard and fast rules, the plot is positive, and I promise that there will be no objections to this part of the review. ”

Li Shixin nodded and stretched out his second finger: "You have to add money." The investment in this piece cannot be less than 30 million. ”

"Director Li, what do you see?"

Hearing Li Shixin's words, Zheng Husheng smiled slightly and moved his gaze to Li Ti on the side.

Yes!!!!

At this moment, Li Ti's heart seemed to have 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping by.

Drip!

Receive a negative cheer with [Want to Kill], 666 points!

As a soft sound of the system popped out of Li Shixin's ears, a constipated smile appeared on Li Ti's face.

"I didn't say it! The leader attaches so much importance to it, how can our Huaqi Film and Television have an investment of 20 million yuan!
