Chapter 19 Death to a Confidant
"Why did you remember to ask this?"
"That's right, after all, we are a regular crew, and everything should be formal. Liu Mang's small eyes were very serious.
This movie is the first step for their group to turn over, and he is more attentive than Fang Bei.
No, in fact, Fang Bei didn't care at all, after all, his purpose was to hit the streets with movies......
"Okay, I'll call and ask. ”
............
In the company kitchen, Su Mulin was cooking seriously in front of the recipe.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
She frowned and didn't plan to answer, but after glancing at the caller's message, she answered the phone anyway.
"What's the matter. ”
"Are you busy right now?"
Miss Su glanced at the pot where the sea bass was steaming, and said lightly: "I'm reading, what's wrong." ”
"It's nothing, it's just that you're not a producer and producer, have you done the budget?"
"It's you the producer, you decide. ”
"Are you sure?"
"Sure, I still have to read, don't bother me. ”
The phone hung up, and Fang Bei looked up at Liu Mang's eyes.
"How?"
"Hmm...... Since you have asked this question, it means that you already have an idea. "Don't strike first," tell me what you think. ”
He is a movie audience and knows how to make a fart.
What I know now is still the information I found on the Internet.
But after all, there are still discrepancies between the information and the actual situation.
Liu Mang didn't think much about it, he said: "Actually, I already have a plan here, you can take a look." ”
After a pause, he added, "But this is just a suggestion, if you think it's useless, it's okay." ”
This movie is the last straw for his group to return to the film and television industry, so he really wants to do it well.
But he also knows that geniuses are generally extremely egoistic, and besides, he is a bit of a cross-border suspect in doing so.
What if you don't think "what, you're trying to overhead me"?
So he only said it was advice.
Fang Bei didn't think much about it, he casually took the booklet in Liu Mang's hand and looked at it.
But this one doesn't matter, the more he looks at it, the tighter his brows are wrinkled.
Liu Mang saw that his face was getting more and more ugly, and he panicked, and hurriedly said: "Old Fang, I'm just suggesting, you just take a look and pull it down." Or if I think the budget is too high, I can go any further. ”
Fang Bei raised his head, for a long time, and said slowly: "It's a little problem." ”
Liu Mang's heart suddenly sudden, and then he took a deep breath: "Tell me, I will find a way to change it." ”
"Hmm. Fang Bei nodded, then pointed to the booklet and said, "For example, here, why is the lunch box eight yuan a piece?"
"This ......," Liu Mang explained, "This is already the lowest grade, and no matter how low it is, you can only use the kind of lunch box produced by a small workshop without a health license." ”
He's seen that kind of boxed lunch, and there is basically no meat. Even if there is a bit of meat, such as braised pork with all fat, the hair on the skin of the meat is not cleaned.
This is a trivial matter after eating diarrhea.
He gritted his teeth: "I'll think of a way to see if I can try to get this store to lower the price again, or let's shout less about group performances or something." ”
"Well? That's not what I meant. Fang Bei waved his hand, "I mean, why don't you order a boxed lunch for twenty yuan?"
"Huh?" Liu Mang was stunned.
It didn't seem like what he had thought.
"Ahhhhh Don't be heartbroken, "Everyone worked hard to film, and it was not easy for the group performers, but as a result, you gave people a box lunch of eight yuan?
His heart hurts, his heart hurts so much that he can't breathe!
Why am I going to spend all the seven million, and then you're going to give me a budget of only two million?
So what's the left five million?
Wait for this movie to hit the street before making a film for Miss Su?
Are you kidding!
"That's it, the lunch box will come according to twenty yuan first, if it doesn't work, it will rise to thirty, we have to make sure that each lunch box has meat, eggs, chicken legs, and green vegetables, so that it is healthy, and it would be better if there were fruits and yogurt. ”
"This ......"
"What's this, whatever! Also, you go and tell them, don't rent costumes and props, those things don't wash much, they all smell sour!
"But ......"
"Don't do it, that's it. Do the math of what the budget is now. ”
Liu Mang called Zhao Qiumei, and then the two of them calculated: "It's about four million in total." ”
Fang Bei raised his eyebrows: "Why is it so little?"
"Well, our crew doesn't need many group performances. ”
"What about special effects? I think special effects cost a lot of money. ”
"That's not a lot of money, after all, Lao Fang, you asked me to find an amateur player. ”
In fact, everyone is holding their breath to do it, special effects artist Pan Xiao came back from the top special effects company in the United States, but encountered the kind of thing that was suppressed.
So he didn't ask for money at all, and even the equipment and software he used to make special effects came with him, after all, there was no awesome software he used in China.
The software was developed by the special effects company itself, and because he had a good relationship with the boss, he was allowed to bring back a copy at the beginning, but he was not allowed to transfer it to others.
Other people are similar, like Fuhuadao, they basically bring their own dry food into the group, this Liu Mang didn't say it, he only said that because everyone is a layman, the price is low.
"Not enough!" Fang Bei said decisively: "Upgrade!
Liu Mang looked confused: "How to rise?"
The things we use are the top in the industry, and in order to turn over this time, the big guys have basically put the baby at the bottom of the box that they have accumulated over the years.
If you rise again, you will really go to the level of Hollywood.
But if you really want to go to Hollywood, the money is not enough.
Besides, the software stuff is just rich and people don't sell you.
Fang Bei thought for a while, and then said: "Give me all the props and everything! Don't rent and buy all the costumes! The equipment will be upgraded! The staff salary will be on par with the industry standards! The lunch box will have three dishes and one soup with fruit and yogurt! The vegetables will also be made into meat! I will also be reimbursed for the travel expenses of the staff! That's right. ”
He turned around and asked Zhao Qiumei, "Where do you all live now?"
Zhao Qiumei was stunned and replied: "The guest house in the village three kilometers away." ”
"Change! Change it all for me! Can't let everyone shed blood and tears!" Fang Bei waved his hand, "Let me stay in a hotel!
Liu Mannene replied: "It's hard to rent so many rooms in that kind of hotel, and it's too wasteful......
Fang Don't think about it, this is really unreliable, and Miss Su can't fool around.
"Then ...... It's all three stars. He smiled and said, "What's the budget for that?"
Liu Mang and the others calculated again: "After a rough calculation, it is about 6.2 or 300 thousand." ”
Fang Bei asked again: "What is the salary of several leading actors?"
"The highest Yan Shuangying is 50,000, Kira Yoshikage said that as long as he takes care of the rice, but he still set 30,000. ”
"Keep 50,000, and the rest will be distributed to them and the staff!"
"That's it!" Fang Bei made a decision, "When the movie is finished, please have a good meal with the rest of the money." ”
Liu Mang looked at him stunned, and Zhao Qiumei also looked at him stunned.
Both of them had red eyes.
After a while, Liu Mang's voice was a little imperceptibly choked: "Don't worry, Lao Fang! We will definitely shoot this movie for you!"
The smile on Fang Bei's face immediately darkened.
Shoot your uncle well! What does Lao Tzu want you to shoot well?
