Chapter 218: There's no need to take risks
Special effects, especially juvenile special effects, you can do very crudely, and you can even make very poor special effects. But there is one thing that is very, very important!
That's the key to the core of the tokusatsu drama!
That's the battle!
It's not that you can get it out with a hot head and a fierce operation like a tiger.
It's not that just because you're not good at this simplifies this step!
The most critical point of special effects, especially juvenile special effects, is how the core props, or core toys, reflect various high-quality effects during the battle!
It will give people a very pleasant and dripping feedback!
This is the essence of shonen special films!
In fact, Peng Hui also knows why Xiao Si did this.
To put it bluntly, this drama is too rushed.
40 million sounds like a lot at first glance, but it seems to be enough to make a special effects drama.
But is that really the case?
Xiao Si belongs to a typical second generation of losers and riches, he is a writer turned director.
In his episodes, there is all kinds of money worship.
As a young person, or as an adult, this kind of poisonous chicken soup may not be avoided by anyone, let alone children?
Originally, there was nothing either.
But the problem is that when this style is brought into the special films, he will have a very embarrassing problem.
What's the problem?
The budget is not enough.
The armor of the warriors of the so-called fire armor seems to be well made, which is both a good thing and a bad thing.
As a core toy, it looks good, which can make the toy more realistic and handsome, but ......
It also raises the budget!
You must know that the budget is 40 million in total, how much does this armor cost?
Peng Hui inquired, and at least he asked for 500,000 sets!
There are five people in this firepower armor team.
So that's two and a half million!
And that's not even counting the villain's holster.
Counting it all, just the non-pretending props that appear in this play are worth tens of millions!
At first glance, it doesn't seem like much, but the budget that Xiao Si used to pretend to be forced is 20 million!
Yes, you heard it right, it's 20 million!
In fact, Xiao Si is also quite aggrieved.
Again, he spent a lot less money.
He really can't be blamed.
Since it's five people, it's reasonable to have a villa for everyone, right?
Then he really photographed the interiors of the five villas......
The rent of a villa in Shanghai, where the filming was filmed, was almost 20,000 to 30,000 yuan per day, and the average price was 25,000.
He filmed for forty days, which is 1 million.
Note that this is a room.
There are five rooms in total, which is five million.
And then for filming, you always need some ancillary facilities, right?
Originally, you don't have to pay attention to home appliances, but what about luxury cars?
How can the rich second generation not drive a luxury car when he goes out?
These five people are five cars, and Xiao Si also contributed three by himself.
However, the rent for the remaining two cars is 50,000 per day.
Because the grade is very good.
That's 100,000, and 40 days is 4 million.
That's nine million gone.
And then what kind of drinks, food, etc.
These little fours who pursue meticulousness even pay part of their own pockets.
The wine was brought from his house.
Vegetables and fruits are also very famous fruits and vegetables in the local area.
Plus some miscellaneous expenses......
There is also the rental cost of the school.
Because it is an aristocratic school, if it weren't for Xiao Si's popularity, the school would have reduced ninety percent of the fees, and forty million would be far from enough!
Not to mention the remuneration for composing music and styling.
Costume that is even more pulled sponsorship!
Although Xiao Si's films have a bad reputation, his films are indeed outstanding.
So for high-end brands, this sponsorship is also good.
Of course, no money was given, only clothes were sponsored.
To be honest, making this movie, Xiao Si Ke really tossed a lot.
However......
It's all wrong!
is a teenager's hot-blooded special film, but it made him a bloody sand sculpture film.
You know how speechless this drama is.
So after watching the first episode and figuring out what the routine was, Peng Hui jumped directly to the stage.
Who knew that Ah Xiang also commented: "Although the film is a little rotten, the costume style is really good." ”
Peng Hui rolled his eyes speechlessly and did not speak.
Later, the Jiangsu station was opened.
Tension spreads its wings and flies high.
How so......
Zhang Li actually made the same problem as Xiao Si.
What does this story look like?
It is also a story of aliens invading the earth, and then heroes appearing to fight away the aliens.
But the difference is that under the lens of director Zhang Li, this time the hero becomes a man.
The man wore a pair of tights at a time and wore a windmill helmet on top of his head.
The windmill helmet has a very middle two name.
Battle Whirlwind.
And the source of energy for this windmill helmet is a smile.
Yes, that's right, as long as you absorb enough smiles, you can make a man use his super superpowers to defeat aliens.
However, in order to collect smiles, men make all kinds of funny and nonsensical things, and then these stories are also interspersed with some very thought-provoking stories.
For example, in the story of the first episode, when the monster was raging, a man appeared in costume, punched and kicked the monster, and then sprayed a laser to kill it in seconds.
Is this good?
Not bad.
From Peng Hui's point of view, just this fight scene was filmed very well.
But the question is......
After filming this scene, the man didn't have time to deal with the alien monster, and when he saw other people surrounding him, he flew away directly.
Then at the end of the first episode, one more scientist began to study the picture of the monster's corpse.
In fact, this is already a very normal setting.
After all, we need to study any unknown species.
But in this final shot, in the dark corner of the laboratory, someone let out a bad guy standard laugh.
