Chapter 87 Post-Production Funding Issues
Zhang Jiuliang's joining is what everyone wants to see at present.
Hai Da Pang and the crew of "Mood Inn" hope that she can fill the vacancy in the role.
Li Youqing hopes that she can enter the entertainment industry and become her ally and share the pressure from Jiangbei.
Jiangbei hopes that she can become the last link in the whole plan, make the film worse, and increase the probability of hitting the street.
Even Liang Liang himself hopes to earn a good salary through this movie, as well as live a gambling addiction in the movie.
But everyone doesn't seem to realize that Ryoryo, who is making a movie for the first time, will make frequent mistakes.
For example, the eyes will involuntarily look at the camera, sometimes accidentally step out of the camera, and even forget their own lines.
When reading the lines, it is like an emotionless machine, very stiff.
When filming, his body movements were stiff and his expression was unnatural.
Not only that, but because of her, Li Youqing's filming status on this day was affected, and his performance was a mess.
Even Hai Da Fat, the king of bad movies, saw the problem, shook his head again and again, and said: "I'm here for the time being today, rest for one night to adjust my condition, and then shoot tomorrow." ”
"I'm really embarrassed......" Liang Liang scratched his head and apologized to everyone.
Everyone still likes this little girl very much, and she is a pure newcomer, so no one blames her.
Even Li Youqing has maintained a very good attitude today because he wants to win her over.
"Brother, how am I doing today?" While Li Youqing was going to change his clothes, Liang Liang ran to Jiangbei's side and asked.
Jiang Bei, who has been paying attention to Liangliang's filming all day long, touched her little head and praised: "You performed very well, continue to maintain this state." ”
"Hehe...... "Liang Liang smirked, and said embarrassedly: "Actually, those are not deliberately acted today, I really don't know how to act." ”
Nonsense.
If acting for the first time can be natural, how can those old drama bones live?
"Just keep it that way. ”
"Okay!"
……
In the next few days, Jiangbei carefully observed the situation on the filming site every day.
The cool operation is still very stable, although there is no performance of leaving the camera and subconsciously looking at the camera. But when he told the lines, he was still very embarrassed, and his facial expression was even stiffer, and he could see the problem at a glance.
Hai Da Fat is also worthy of the title of the king of bad movies, as long as Liang Liang's performance is not very bad, he will simply choose to 'pass' and enter the next round of shooting.
However, Li Youqing was very dissatisfied, thinking that these scenes filmed with Liangliang were far from those when Yang Ziyan was there before.
But after all, she is just a heroine, and she still has to respect the director's decision more on the set, so she can only choose to obey.
As a result, the quality of the film can be said to be extremely degraded, and it is about to reach the 4.0 bad film standard.
Jiangbei was so satisfied with this that he once again decided to increase the amount of wine he drank every day, from one and a half bottles to two bottles!
But after all, it was two bottles of wine, and this wine was a little dizzy to drink, but fortunately, at the end of the day, I didn't have to do anything, and I was at ease in the rocking chair.
Looking at the blue sky, Jiangbei drank wine and ate peanuts, and gradually imagined a beautiful picture in his mind.
But before the picture unfolded, a message came from the mobile phone, and when I took it out, I found that it was sent by Ji Yingzi.
"Boss, the film is initially in post-production, but the special effects company said that if we want to complete all the special effects of the whole film and make it more sci-fi, the funds we have left are not enough to support it. So ask the boss if he can invest a little more?"
Li Youqing has graduated from the Blue Film and Television Academy, which also means that "The Blue Fortress" has completed the pre-shooting, and the next thing to do is special effects production.
The special effects production has been greeted by Jiangbei in advance, so the post-production of this movie will give the digital special effects he has a stake in, which can be regarded as a fertilizer that does not flow into the fields of outsiders and earns some of his own extra money.
But making extra money doesn't mean he wants to do this movie well.
On the contrary, the failure of the film is what he wants to see.
What's more, he doesn't have the money to invest in it now.
The 130 million earned at the beginning spent 100 million to invest in movies, and 20 million to invest in digital special effects.
Later, he earned 80 million, but only 64 million after paying taxes, and the total assets returned to 80 million.
It cost 10 million to buy Yihe Film and Television Company, invest 10 million for the normal operation of the company, and invest another 8 million to shoot "Mood Inn".
In the end, he only had 52 million assets left.
This money may seem like a lot, but if you smash it into the special effects, it will be like a slap in the water, and you can only hear a single sound.
Therefore, it is definitely impossible to add to this investment, and there is no ability to invest.
Thinking of this, Jiang Bei shook his head and typed back: "Recently, the funds have been difficult, and there is no way to come up with more money to do special effects, otherwise we will make it according to the standard of 100 million." ”
The message was sent, and Ji Yingzi quickly replied: "The standard of 100 million is too low, and the special effects made are the same as the domestic five-cent special effects, which is definitely not good." ”
Jiang Bei's head was already dizzy at this time, looking at the big head of the mobile phone, he just wanted to end the topic quickly, closed his eyes and squinted for a while, and then replied: "I really can't continue to inject money here, you can see if you can go somewhere else to pull a little." ”
After sending it, he put his phone on the small bench next to him, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
On the other side, Ji Yingzi was also speechless when he saw Jiangbei's reply.
The boss's attitude is really free and easy, and he didn't care at all about the movie he made at 100 million, and asked her to attract investment.
So what if she doesn't pull?
Do you want to use the special effects for five cents to make this sci-fi blockbuster?
Isn't that waiting to lose money!
You must know that science fiction movies are different from other types of movies, and the real attraction of science fiction movies to the audience is in the special effects, the kind of science fiction full of the future, the vast starry universe, and the realism that makes people feel in it, which is the existence that countless other science fiction audiences are obsessed with.
Penny special performance to make that feeling?
Undoubtedly a joke.
It's just that investors can be indifferent, but Ji Yingzi can't be rash.
As it is likely to be her first sci-fi film to be released, this "Wandering Blue" pins her hopes on for more than ten years.
So, she didn't allow the film to fail.
Since you can't fail, you naturally have to find a way to continue investing.
And there is only one person she knows who has the ability to inject capital and is eligible.
New Year's Eve!
……
It's still the same Malatang shop.
The sisters sat together and talked while eating.
"Recently, being a singer has been booming?" Ji Yingzi said casually while eating fans.
Since this summer's song "The Wind Rises" has given a new lease on New Year's Eve singing career, a new album "The Wind Rises" has been produced again.
This album, which includes "The Wind Rises" and ten fine songs, has achieved remarkable sales once it was released, winning double platinum (2 million) sales, which has made her singing career stand firm. At the same time, he is also a rare successful person in the entertainment industry who 'performs and sings'.
Whatever line of work he does, he has made achievements, and he is naturally in a good mood on New Year's Eve, and he replied with a smile: "Isn't my sister's movie about to be released soon? ”
Please replace it with an affirmative sentence. Ji Yingzi was as confident as ever, picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth, and said, "Senior sister, I want to give you a chance to make money, do you want it?"
"Senior sister's opportunity, I don't dare to ask for it. New Year's Eve blew the soup in the spoon and teased.
"That's up to you, my post-production special effects are not funded enough, and the boss doesn't plan to continue to chase after it. Since you took the script, you can pay the rest of the expenses together. ”
Hearing this, Sui Xi raised his eyebrows and asked, "Mr. Jiang doesn't plan to chase after him?"
"Well, I don't know what he means. Ji Yingzi took a big bite of the ball and said vaguely.
New Year's Eve picked up the soup at random, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, thinking about this question.
Mr. Jiang does not chase after the investment, and it stands to reason that he should not.
After all, the movie has been filmed, and he must understand the principle of excellence.
What's more, the script itself is not bad, as long as the special effects are good, the possibility of losing money is basically impossible.
In that case, why did he give up the pursuit?
Unless there's something unspeakable?
Suddenly, an idea popped into her mind and asked, "How much more do you need to invest if you want to continue to chase after it?"
Ji Yingzi pondered for a moment when he heard this, and replied: "At least 2 to 300 million." ”
Really.
The reason was found.
The funds pursued in the later stage are too large, and judging from Mr. Jiang's current wealth, it is obviously impossible to withstand such a large investment.
It must be that Mr. Jiang is not enough to invest, so there is no way to continue to pursue the investment.
In fact, a movie with a total investment of three or four hundred million, even if you have money, you don't dare to invest in it all......
After all, no one knows if the movie will make money.
"Mr. Jiang only said that he didn't plan to chase after him?" asked after thinking about it.
"Hmm. ”
Ji Yingzi responded softly, took a sip of fruit tea, and said: "Well, he asked me to pull the investment myself, which probably means that if I can't pull it, I will make the post-production according to the standard five-cent special effects of 100 million yuan, as long as the cost can be recovered." ”
"Oh......" Sui Xi nodded thoughtfully, lost in thought.
Ji Yingzi glanced at it, and just wanted to complain a few words, but thinking that she was still counting on her to invest, she finally held back again.
"Okay! I'll invest 100 million in this movie, and I'll help you find investors for the rest. After thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to intervene.
"Tsk, I thought that even if you agreed, you would just help attract investment. Ji Yingzi said with a little surprise.
Sui Xi smiled and replied, "If you have money to make, why don't you make it?"
"Trust me so much?" Ji Yingzi raised her eyebrows and asked suspiciously.
Sui Xi shook his head and smiled without saying a word.
To believe is to believe, but not to you.
