Tengchong "Jingwumen" crew nearby. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
"What an 85 million dollar blockbuster movie! It's just a blind J8 blow! Go to that hard day, and I can't afford to buy that box lunch box for lunch!" Tong Meng, an extras who just joined the crew, complained.
Lin Zhenying smiled: "That means you are eating well! 25 yuan box lunch, haha, you can add several chicken legs alone, right?"
Tong Meng looked at this martial arts senior speechlessly: "Uncle Shi, don't laugh at me, didn't you just think that crew was famous, so you went to their crew? It's my fault, I'm going to invite you to drink at night, right? It's also a 25 yuan box lunch! Put a few pieces of meat and vegetables on top of the special rice, can it be worth this price? I won't say anything in the future and don't go to them!"
"Haha! You stinky boy, it's okay, don't cry and lose your face, go and say hello to your brother, can you still ignore you as an uncle? I'll invite you to dinner after work in the evening. ”
Lin Zhenying waved his hand, and with the great gratitude of his nephew, he picked up the script that had been revised several times and thought about the relevant action arrangements.
……
And in Xingyi Film and Television, that is, the production company where the war movie is located, Cheng Long is now also in a crew under him.
In the conference room, the main backbones of the relevant departments are already present.
Although **** Yu, who was sitting on the chairman, was a hairy boy, no one dared to despise him, because he was the son of an investor in his own film and television company.
Ordinary investors don't bother with the specific details of the filming, and leave everything to the director. But **** Yu's father is too cruel, he is one of the several richest people in Harbour City, he has been a big financier of Xingyi Film and Television for decades, and he is still its largest shareholder, and his influence naturally cannot be regarded as normal.
"You are all my predecessors, and you are all professionals who have been up and down in the film and television industry for decades. In terms of box office, I am very satisfied, but can anyone answer a question for me, that is, why the cost of our movie is so high, but the cost of a one-page book can be controlled at about 6 million?"
Everyone looked at each other, and finally stood up a middle-aged thin man in his thirties, wiped the sweat on his forehead and hurriedly explained.
"Mr. Wu, you don't know very well, let me explain. Let's talk about our cost first, the investment of 8,500 US dollars, of course, is all speculation, in fact, the upper and lower parts, together should be about 350 million soft sister coins. ”
"First of all, the cast, the two top superstars in Harbour City, the salary of one episode together is about 16 million, as well as other first-line stars, as well as a large number of tricks. At the beginning, the crew wanted to use real people for all shots, but later found that the scene was too big, so they used some computer stunts, but at the peak, there were about 1,000 people a day, which consumed a lot. ”
"The cost of various other props, armor and nothing else, are all common to other war films. But in the last fire, the cost of a ship is about 2 million, and we expect to build five first, and if it is not enough, we will have to come five more, so as to achieve the shocking visual effect when the ship is burned at the end......"
"Secondly, publicity expenses also occupy ......"
The middle-aged thin man who was talking eloquently was interrupted by **** Yuyi with a wave of his hand.
"I also know a little bit about our situation, let's talk about how to control the cost of a page of books!"
Hearing Jean talk about other people's things, the middle-aged thin man breathed a sigh of relief, and his words became much smoother: "The place where "King of Destruction" spends money is basically these aspects. Actors' salaries, props purchases, crew consumption, and some other aspects. ”
"The most cost-effective basis is that it is an urban comedy, compared with costume war films, it has already saved a lot of costumes and scene costs! ”
The people around nodded their heads, and this is indeed the truth.
"The second is the actor's salary, director Lu Yifei is a well-known director in the industry, and he would have occupied the most part of the salary, but Lin Mu has signed a long-term contract with her at the cost of a part of the shares of a page of film and television, so she usually sends her a red envelope at most, and there is no need to pay another salary. ”
"As for some of the other characters, one page of the book himself is the male protagonist, and the other three 'Devil Muscle Man', 'Big Brother', and 'School Flower Ali' with the most shots can be said to be actors who have no fame at all before. Like that school girl is the Miss Harbor of our Harbor City, Lin Mu can choose her to play the heroine, which is already a good thing for pie in the sky, I can't ask for it, I am a page of the book, and I can solve it by giving two dollars casually. ”
Of course, she also wants to come to my room at night, and everyone will study how to shoot "Invincible Hot Wheels......
The last sentence, but the middle-aged thin man put it in his stomach and didn't say it.
Wu Siyuan, who was on the chairman's side, glanced at him meaningfully: "Go on!"
The middle-aged thin man coughed: "So in our estimates, the salary paid to the actors for a page of the book, plus the salary paid to the staff, may be less than 2 million, compared to our ordinary star, the salary is tens of millions, and the advantage is really obvious." ”
"Secondly, the part that also occupies the majority of investment is publicity, our company in order to promote the movie, in major cities to lay publicity channels, subway, bus stop signs, square screens and other posters are countless, spending tens of millions of soft girl coins. When the filming of "King of Destruction" was completed, it was already close to the end of the year, and there was basically no publicity on one page of the book, so its publicity cost was close to 0......"
Yu: "Basically no publicity? close to 0? That is, there is still some publicity?"
The middle-aged thin man said embarrassedly: "Feng Feifei, the six little spirit boys, and other people who are good friends with Lin Mu once expressed a mood of solidarity for "The King of Destruction", and a page of the book also said that "The King of Destruction" will be released on the first day of the new year, and you will come on time to get in the car'...... Well, according to the huge fan base of these people now, posting these meager messages can also be regarded as a means of propaganda......"
Speaking of which, there was a chill in the conference room, how big is your heart for a page of a book?
A movie of the same kind, with or without publicity, its box office can definitely differ by more than three or four percent!
Using some rookie actors to play can be understood as a maverick, but for your own movie, you don't even bother to publicize it, are you too confident, or are you hopelessly lazy?
And his own vigorous publicity, it is not as good as people to talk about it at will? (To be continued.) )
