Colin's talk show was still huge, and reporters began to take action.

First, we found Professor Sager. And Professor Sager's answer was decent: "...... For me, the only criterion for passing the course is a qualified practical short film, regardless of the size of the investment or the type of camera equipment used. In fact, for students from disadvantaged backgrounds, ULCA also offers photographic equipment rental at a discounted price. The key is that the content of the practice video should reflect the mastery of the knowledge points. ...... However, for the art of photography and videography, the quality of the equipment is of course important, and the professionalism of the actors and people behind the scenes is of course very important. It's like a piano artist, a good piano is more reflective of the skill of playing......"

Then came Lumina and Maiting. Clearly, the team around them had prepared a "jack-of-all-trades": "...... I would like to thank Seed Entertainment and Mr. Bramble for believing in me, and I will try my best to dedicate my best side to the audience (listeners)......"

For any gossip topics, whether it is Lumina or Mai Ting, they don't say a word. The attitude is very clear, and it will never admit it, but it will never give up the hype. And such a topic also brought good results, and Lumina's single sales actually broke out with a small climax.

Finally, there is poor Mr. Bill Gates. From beginning to end, he remained silent. As you can imagine, he definitely beeps a dog in his heart. It's another unwarranted disaster, so many people have a bad taste, and now Mr. Bill Gates, how big is the shadow area in his heart?

However, this wave of media action once again attracted the attention of North American audiences. Many people are wondering in their hearts -- what will the film work of more than 10 million dollars look like? For the majority of the people who eat melons, the internal strife in Hollywood is nothing more than dog eats dog, and they have no interest in it. On the contrary, it was "the most expensive assignment in history", which immediately made them all interested.

is completely unintentional, and "Infinite Trembling Elf Island", which was prepared in a low-key manner, suddenly embarked on a vigorous hype process......

However, many experts still commented that they were not optimistic about the prospects of this film, after all, there were too many twists and turns in the early stage, and the investment exceeded the original budget too much. And the current crew is like a grass stage team, the most ridiculous thing is that Mr. Bramble is actually whimsical and ready to be the director himself?

......

At this time, Jing Jian didn't care about the comments of the outside world, and he was busy with the first batch of income from the film.

A crew accountant named Declan is reporting: "So far, most of them have opted to buy out their previous contracts, paying a total of $1,362,400. Combined with the previous crew expenses of $891,500, the total is $2,253,900. In addition, the total cost should be kept within $3.5 million as much as possible, taking into account possible future litigation and compensation costs......"

For those original crew members who resigned, Jing Jian also treated them differently, like Hua Geri, Fenori, Michael and Zhang John, who were unceremoniously ready to fight the lawsuit to the end. Do you still want money?

Later, under the pressure of CAA, those members who resigned were basically "amicable breakups", and they should take as much as they should according to the working time limit. As for those who continue to sign new contracts, they buy out the old contracts and receive more or less compensation in addition to the remuneration they should receive.

As for the lawsuit between CAA and Seed Entertainment, it can only be said that the thunder is loud and the rain is small. Although both sides roared loudly, there was no actual action. It is very likely that such a lawsuit will not be fought at all. However, in terms of financial calculations, it is still necessary to take into account this possible expenditure.

Diclan continued: "The total budget for the new crew is $15 million. Among them, the personnel cost is 5.12 million. Ladies and gentlemen, this is a two-month filming schedule, and if it is postponed, the cost will increase......"

Unlike the male and female protagonists and the main supporting actors, their remuneration is generally calculated based on the cycle of a movie. Otherwise, the publicity before and after the shooting also takes a lot of time, and it is impossible to accurately count at all, and it is easy to rip off, so I simply put a fixed price and all the remuneration together. The other small roles and behind-the-scenes personnel are basically calculated on a weekly basis. Of course, the longer the shoot, the higher the cost.

Hearing this, Jing Jian said: "The filming period is calculated in three months, and I have an extra budget of 200,000 yuan, and I am afraid that there will be any trouble in the middle." However, all departments still have to cooperate and pay close attention, and the goal is two months. ”

Everyone in the meeting nodded. Diclan continued: "The budget for the filming was 2.15 million. Among them, the rental of the studio...... Film....... Also, there is the cost of industrial light and magic. The previous $1 million has been paid, and the models they made will be able to use ...... in the new crew. Finally, there is the ...... of post-production costs such as editing and soundtrack. If all goes well, the total cost can be contained within $12 million. The remaining $3 million is the cost of the issuance ......"

After talking about the budget, Diclan went on to introduce the negotiated product placement: "At Mr. Bramble's request, we have contacted the major manufacturers, and the current negotiated ads are: $50,000 for Ray-Ban sunglasses, $80,000 for Toyota plus a new car, $80,000 for Nike, and $100,000 for the Rifle Association. ”

Hearing this, Jing Jian smiled and waved his hand: "Forget it from the Rifle Association." ”

At this time, product placement in movies was not yet popular, so it was more difficult to find advertisers. In particular, the unclear future of this film makes the number of advertisements small and the price low. In the above advertisement, the advertisement of Ray-Ban sunglasses still likes Jing Jian's habit of wearing sunglasses in interviews.

As for the Rifle Association, they took the initiative to come to the door, hoping to make an advertorial in the movie. However, Jing Jian is a member of the Rifle Association, and for the sake of his reputation, he definitely can't make money from this. So as soon as I turned around, I was going to donate the $100,000 to the Rifle Association. So really speaking, this income is the same.

But when you think about it, at least $210,000 plus a car was earned. Jing Jian said with a smile: "If you contact other manufacturers, even if you can't get the advertising fee, you can reduce the rental fee, and you can save it." Incentive clauses can also be added if they have already been negotiated. If we reach what number at the box office, they need to increase the advertising cost or something. Our total budget is really generous, but we also need to save a little bit of it. ”

"Yes, sir. ”
