Gao Hang nodded vigorously: "Yes, we don't want to cut it, but the original heroine is Fang Lingling, and her salary alone eats up one-third of the budget, if we don't cut her, the whole project will not be able to be done." ”

"Is her again?"

Tang Li couldn't help but laugh a little, this circle seems to be too small, you can meet this big star anywhere, although he hasn't met her yet, let alone said a word, but this deal, in fact, has been fought a few times.

Xu Xing'er continued to take over his words: "That's right, so after I knew about this matter, I suggested that Gao Dao consider us pleasant." In terms of coffee position, Yiren may not be as good as Lingling, but in the latest box office war, we Yiren won a big victory. In terms of popularity, she is definitely worthy of her. Moreover, the key is that Yiren's salary is much lower than hers, and I will help Yiren make the decision, at most only one-fifth of her, and we will take the job. As a result, Gao Dao calculated for a long time, but still decided to cut the role. ”

When she said this, her face was full of regret.

Tang Li was also surprised when he heard this: "Why? Gao Dao? Is this still overspending?"

Gao Hang smiled helplessly: "That's true." In fact, the most important thing is that the ideas of several of our main creators are changing, and in the past, we also wanted to take advantage of the star effect. But as we do it, we realize that the core of science fiction is in the setting of the world view, in the size of the pattern and the production of special effects. The limited money is put on the stars, so it is better to polish more on the plot special effects. So, now our idea is to fix the plot line on the male protagonist, and use our technology to present the bizarre light of this virtual space. Love line, if there is no one, there will be no more. In fact, in terms of the original work, the description of love is not the author's specialty. When he portrays the soul angel, what he focuses on is the struggle of the virtual character's soul after gaining self-awareness. Especially the final sacrifice, in addition to love, is more of a despair when you find out that you are just an NPC with no real life and only living in a virtual world. ”

"This ......," Tang Li was completely stunned when he heard this. He suddenly understood why people who knew the truth would like this novel. That's where their ideas come from.

And when he looked at Xue Yiren beside him, he found that she was with tears in her eyes, and she almost began to sob.

Then, she suddenly blinked her eyes, and after letting a tear fall, she said to Xu Xing'er: "Mr. Xu, can you reduce your salary a little more, even if it is ...... Even if you don't want to be paid, I want to ...... I wanted to play this role. ”

Xu Xing'er was in a daze when she heard this. And Xu Youling laughed out loud: "Sister, what am I talking about? As long as this story is told to Xue Yiren, she will definitely want to act, and she won't even ask for a salary." You lost to me, you lost to me!"

"Huh?" Tang Li and Xue Yiren were stunned at the same time, and suddenly understood that there was probably some gambling in this.

Xu Xing'er shook her head and snorted lightly: "Okay, I lost, so you will take advantage of this advantage." ”

"What the hell, what's going on?" Tang Li asked.

Xu Xing'er rolled her eyes and didn't speak, but Xu Youling said happily: "Can't you see it? My sister is willing to help, but the salary must have a bottom line, and she can't act for free. I made a bet with my sister, brought you here, and told me what was going on, and if Cousin Yiren offered not to be paid to act, she would not object. So, now I'm winning. ”

Tang Li also began to roll his eyes: "Twist Dan, you still say that you are not pit me, this is not only a pit, it is simply a pit to death." ”

When Gao Hang heard this, he hurriedly said: "Mr. Tang, don't get me wrong, this is just a joke made by Mr. Xu's sister and brother, and we are definitely not working together to lie to you." Our single-line plan has actually been made, if you don't believe it, I can show you now. ”

As he spoke, he began to dig into his file bag.

At this time, Xue Yiren shook Tang Li's arm vigorously and shouted resentfully, "Cousin!"

Tang Li looked at her, nodded and smiled: "I understand, cousin, you really want this role." However, you can't make a decision at the wine table for such a big thing, right?"

Xue Yiren didn't seem to be so resolute when he heard his tone, so he nodded a little blankly: "Yes, then how should it be decided?"

At this time, Gao Hang's script had already been taken out, Tang Li naturally took it over, and after opening and reading a few pages, he closed it again, and smiled faintly at Gao Hang: "That's it, since my cousin also has the will, let her go to the crew to try the camera first to see if she can cooperate with the crew." If all goes well, we'll take the dayjob. ”

Things have developed to this point, which has exceeded Gao Hang's expectations, and he is a little excited and can't help himself.

"Okay, okay, I'll schedule an audition right away, tomorrow, tomorrow. ”

Gao Hang did things really vigorously, and the next day, when Tang Li and Xue Yiren flew to the Huangdian Film and Television Base, the crew had already made all the preparations, saying that it was an audition, but looking at the posture, it was a real shooting at all.

When Xue Yiren auditioned, Tang Li watched the sets and props made by the crew on the set.

In science fiction films, in addition to computer special effects, the quality of sets and props also determines the effect of the finished film. If the props are too fake, it will look like a special film, and it will be cheap, and in the end, there is no negotiation for the tourists. This is also an old problem with domestic sci-fi films. However, on the set of "Soul Angel", Tang Li saw the hard work and sincerity of the crew, as well as the money.

"Mr. Tang, why don't you take a look at the footage we have filmed?" Producer Long Zi greeted him at this time and said with a smile.

Tang Li has learned that in addition to being the soul creators of "Soul Angel", Long Zi and Gao Hang are also iron buddies in life. In the early stage, for the establishment of this film, both of them have gone bankrupt and invested millions in it. It's also hard work for the ideal.

Soon, Tang Li saw some of the movie materials that had been filmed before. He actually doesn't know much about filmmaking, and he can't see anything about this kind of material that has not been post-produced and edited, let alone any special effects.

Fortunately, he still has a skill balancer, and for the sake of caution, he even used an explosive component to instantly raise his directing level to a level where he can at least understand the quality of the material.

Then, he was relieved. This reassurance is a reassurance to the director, a reassurance to the actors, and a reassurance to the large number of ordinary cast and crew around him.

This is by no means a grass platform. With their intentions, as long as the post-production special effects company is strong enough, they will definitely be able to make a sincere work. Then, my cousin cooperates with this team, and maybe, complete the box office task in the ultimate mission, and it will be over.

At this time, her cousin's first audition had been completed, and she was at a loss at the moment, not knowing how she was performing.

"Great, wonderful!" Gao Hang praised loudly: "Miss Xue is simply the embodiment of this character, even if she doesn't wear makeup, she already has a soul angel soul." ”

Although he knew that he was a little foolish and joined the gang, the mood of the two of them was still very comfortable to hear.

"Then ......" Tang Li pondered for a while, and then said: "There is no salary, the lunch box is always in charge, right?"

"Of course, of course!" Gao Hang grinned: "Four dishes and one soup, the amount is large and the tube is full." ”

Xue Yiren's eyes flashed with stars at this time, and he looked at Tang Liner and said, "Cousin, do you agree?"

Tang Li didn't answer immediately, he walked around the set again, and suddenly said: "Director Gao, I have an idea, don't you think it's okay." ”

Everyone present was stunned, not knowing what he meant by this sentence suddenly.

"Mr. Tang, please speak. ”

Tang Li said: "The crew's funds are tight, I have seen it, many of the sets, the materials and components used are repetitive, so careful budgeting is also a good choice, but." I have a way to save a lot of money and make the props more realistic. ”

Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, looked at the expectant eyes around him, and smiled slightly: "It's just to put the set in my copy, no, I should say, I can update the copy and design a set for you." There, not only are the props and sets real, but also the actors can shoot the special effects shots directly without WIA and post-production. ”

Hearing this, the entire crew was almost boiling. Filming in a copy and using the special rules of the copy to perform special effects is something that many people have considered since the appearance of the embedded copy. However, since only a limited number of authors have the right to make global embedded copies, this has become a scarce resource in itself. And simply playing in a dungeon, and using a dungeon to make money, the result is completely different, so if you really do this, the other party's asking price will not be cheap. The result of the final game is basically the same as asking a special effects company to do the post-production.

But now, Tang Li said this directly, so it is almost certain that he will not be able to charge according to the market price, and the crew can save money again!

As a producer, Long Zi still had to confirm the accounts, so he asked very cautiously: "Then Mr. Tang, this price ......?"

"Half of the special effects company's quotation, and no cash, count my investment, how about it?"

"Deal!" Long Zi didn't think about it, and directly stretched out his hand.

The final result was that Tang Li brought money into the group and became one of the co-producers of the film, while Xue Yiren was the special leading actor without pay. This crew, which was already on the verge of despair, came back to life like this.
