"Excuse me, teacher, how much money does it cost to make a movie!"

Half a month later, Shao Gong's basic theoretical knowledge of the crew had been completed, so Ouyang Fenqi gave him the next stage of learning. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 Looking at the young man in front of him, Ouyang Fenqiang was very satisfied with his learning attitude: "As a producer and director, you need to have a nuanced understanding of the film from the pre-preparation to the shooting stage to the post-promotion, and you must keep up with the progress and keep abreast of the extent of the filming work.

A movie, its selection of scripts, actors, negotiations in all aspects, the formation of a team to start shooting, and then to post-production, sometimes the movie has not yet started filming and is already burning money, of course, these are small amounts of money compared to the entire budget, but small money is also money. We can't just throw the money away, because not only will the money be spent, but the effect may not be good. If the money can't be used on the blade, then where does the box office come from, take the money to waste, say how much I spent, it's a big production, but the audience doesn't understand anything at first glance, and they don't know where the money of your big production is used, so where does it come from, it's a typical money that is not spent in the right place.

Not to mention the start of filming again, the extras need money, the venue costs money, the equipment costs money, the lunch box costs money, and so many staff members have to pay salaries. I won't talk about the special effects, but it's too little. The salary of the most terrible Chinese first-line stars, the total investment in a movie is only how much, and more than half of it is used to invite stars. In the end, the movie is finally finished and cut, don't you promote it in the later stage?

Therefore, making a movie requires an iron abacus, and it also needs to be carefully calculated.

Before looking at how to spend money, discuss why you spend so much money.

In domestic film creation, there are now films that have invested seventy or eighty million yuan, which is undoubtedly a big production. Only foreign films will invest more than 100 million. So as a producer, what made him decide to invest so much money – and the reason was the return on investment.

Animated films, such audio-visual products, have a characteristic, dazzling pictures, good-looking, shocking, and can bring unparalleled sensory experience to the audience, which will make consumers willing to spend money to experience the feelings they cannot experience in their daily lives. But what about movies made by live-action and special effects, especially in themes such as adventure, disaster, war, magic, science fiction, etc., if you want to achieve the level of animation, you need to find a way to spend a lot of money on audiovisual means to leverage high returns.

Film and television products also have another feature, stars. Since the establishment of the star system in Hollywood, stars have become the most effective means of stimulating the box office of various films, because the stars themselves are well-known enough to effectively mobilize the audience's expectations for the film. Then, according to the film's own temperament, spending a lot of money to invite some stars who meet this temperament will have an obvious effect on the box office.

In other words, it can bring high returns to my films, and spending money is called investment. If it doesn't bring me a high return, then spending money on it is called a waste. ”

Hearing this answer, Shao Gong thought about it and said with some doubts: "That, it looks like a theory of a commercial film!"

"What's wrong with commercial films, based on a certain commercial point to unfold a story, it is called a commercial film. Hollywood is mostly commercial films, and I will tell you the truth, although there are also Hollywood literary films, if Hollywood releases ten films in a year, eight of them are commercial films, and two are literary films. Because the so-called commercial film is something that is difficult to see in your daily life, such as car chases, explosions, plane crashes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, alien attacks, etc., these elements can mobilize the audience's impulse to consume films.

Ouyang Fenqi took a sip of tea, sighed and said, "So the more difficult things to see, the easier it is to stimulate the audience's desire to consume." We make movies to make money, not to lose money. I used to pursue art for the sake of art, but now you can see this down-and-out appearance. You have to know that the money spent on filming a movie is earned back through the box office, that is, distribution.

And one of the key points of distribution is to cooperate with theaters, but how should the box office of a movie be divided?

Basically, when your film is removed from the theater and the final box office is settled, the state will directly deduct the tax first, and the remaining about 30% will be directly distributed to the theater chain and theaters. After the cinema chain and theater are divided, the distributor also has to charge a distribution agency fee or call it a distribution commission, and the current industry rule is that it is normal for the distributor to occupy a CD.

Of course, if you issue it yourself, you can gouge out the issuer's money. But if it doesn't work, you have to contract the distributor to distribute the film.

In this way, the rest is the income of the film producer, not to mention the huge production expenses, but also to remove the copies of the film in your major theaters across the country, and the rest is the producer's pure profit. Therefore, if you don't know how to make a movie, you can spend it casually with generous money and money, so that the production can recover the cost is already very good, and if you don't do it, you will lose even your belt.

Although the state supports the film industry now, it will not clearly tell you what movies cannot be filmed, as long as your script has the copyright seal stamped by the law firm, it can be sent for review, this first review is just a simple procedure, spend some money and people can quickly review it for you, and then you can organize the team to shoot! When the film is completed and sent for review, when all the money you should spend is spent, people will tell you that this film may be banned due to some politically sensitive content, then your movie may never be released, then you know what it means to eat people without spitting out bones, their lion's mouth will not open when your script is just reviewed, but when the film is reviewed!!!

Hearing these contents, Shao Gong swallowed his saliva with difficulty and nodded heavily, feeling that he really wanted to make a movie, and he couldn't do it without huge funds. And now he is still poor and white, so he can only wait for the opportunity.

Seeing that the other party was constantly pondering, Ouyang Fenqi didn't bother him, and today's teaching was completed, so he left silently.

Shaogong, who went home with a heavy heart, lay on the bed as soon as he entered the house, constantly thinking about his own path, "Money, money, I really can't live without you!" Then he got up suddenly, slammed his fist on the bed board, and said in a vicious voice: "If you want to make more money in movies, theaters are the key, Lao Tzu still doesn't believe it, with our innate advantages, there are still things that can't be done." Then turn on the computer, click on the fantasy section of Xilu, and enter the fantasy fairy association he created.

There,There are already a lot of his fans and fandom.。

"Moderator morning!"

"It's early, it's noon......"

Seeing Shaogong's avatar lit up, one person greeted him, and the other hurriedly said: "Moderator, you finished chasing the deer yesterday, what are your new plans!!" Seeing this message, Shaogong fell into thinking again, Zhuolu he coded words very quickly, and the end was also very fast, although he had a certain popularity, but after the end! He thought for a while and said: "Next, I plan to write Xianxia, in order to pay tribute to my respected lord of Huanzhu Building." ”

"Shushan type??"

The man asked rhetorically: "I also like the Lord of Huanzhu Mansion and want to write, but I always feel that I can't grasp the sense of elegance that a god should have." For this reader signed "Wandering Clam", Shao Gong still admires it, he thought about it and wrote: "It doesn't matter, Xianxia's elegance is the kind of imagination with the ability to tell the majestic narrative, when I used to watch Sword and Fairy, I always felt that the emotions of the characters in it were pale, and this impression has always remained in his heart." So I'm going to write about Xianxia, and I'll pay attention to that point very carefully. ”

Immediately, Shao Gong began to write the title of a new novel: "Zhu Xian", and then the introduction: There are no immortals in this world, but since ancient times, human beings have seen the world around them, all kinds of strange things, lightning and thunder, storms and rains, and natural and man-made disasters, countless casualties, and grief all over the wilderness, which is by no means human can do and can resist. Then I thought that above the nine heavens, there were all kinds of gods, and under the nine shadows, it was also the place where the ghosts returned, the hall of Yama. So the saying of the gods has been passed down to the world. Countless human beings sincerely bowed to the various gods they imagined and created, prayed for blessings and grievances, and the incense was prosperous......

In the present world, the righteous path is prosperous, and the evil demons retreat. The Central Plains is beautiful, popular, rich in products, and firmly occupied by decent families. Among them, the three pillars of "Qingyunmen", "Tianyin Temple", and "Incense Valley" are the leaders.

This story started from "Qingyunmen".

Although chasing deer can make him have a certain popularity in the online literature industry, it can't make him stand on the throne. And "Zhu Xian" is different, whether it is the current era, or for the future, it is an eternal classic, its achievements are regarded on the Internet as Jin Yong, Gu Long, and the classic novels of the same level as the works of the lord of the pearl building, and is known as the new generation of fantasy fairy masterpieces with strong Chinese style and bones comparable to the lord of the pearl mansion "The Legend of the Swordsman of Shushan".

Shao Gong believes that Zhulu can let him step into this circle, and Zhuxian can make him stand at the peak of the online literature industry in this era. With fame and popularity, coupled with his team in the Fantasy Xianxia Association, he was able to start a literary website, and the name of that website was thought of.

"Menghang Chinese Network, reading in Menghang, creation in Menghang, let us swim in the sea of books, paddle the dream and set sail." ”

Shao Gong kept YY in his mind, and kept tapping his fingers on the keyboard, and began to write the first chapter of "Zhu Xian", and half an hour later, the first chapter was successfully uploaded, which immediately caused a sensation on the West Road. They originally thought that after the end of "Zhuolu", the author would have to rest for a few days before a new work would come out, but they didn't expect that a new work would be uploaded the next day after the end of the book, which surprised many people, and some people even couldn't wait to click on it and watch it, and there, in addition to readers, there are many people who want to try to write books.

"Shaogong, it's time to eat. ”

Seeing that Shaogong came back and went back to the house directly, Meng Xiangting brought him some hot food, but saw that he was still coding, so he put it on the table. And the aroma of the meal wafted out. Shao Gong snorted, looked at her in surprise and said, "It's not the landlord who cooks, is the little sister here?"

"It's such a good nose, and you know who made it when you smell it. ”

Meng Xiangting sat on the bed and looked at him: "You workaholic, today is the weekend, little sister, Brother Yang and Bao Qiang have been here, seeing that your environment is good, they are all very relieved, these meals are brought by your little sister with a food box." The main reason for Shaogong's sudden departure was that he only told Wang Yang, including his own injuries. Ouyang Ke arranged this accommodation for him and Meng Xiangting, firstly, for the safety of the two of them, and secondly, so as not to bring trouble to them.

And Wang Yang knew Shaogong's painstaking thoughts, but he couldn't tell others, so he told Yang Yue'er and Bao Qiang that it was the arrangement of other people's bars, but the two didn't believe it, so they had to come and have a look.

But they came, but Shao Gong was not there, it was Meng Xiangting who received them, which made Yang Yueer a little stupid, in order to prove the quality of her cooking skills, she specially brought a lunch box over. But the people weren't there, and she didn't want to see Meng Xiangting receiving them here like a host, so the three of them sat for a while and went back.

"Hey, I feel a little sorry for them. ”

While eating, Shao Gong sighed: "According to Murphy's Law: if there is a possibility that something will go bad, no matter how small the probability is, it will always happen." Although Xiong Dahai ran away, he didn't know when he would come to retaliate. There, there's danger, and I don't want that to bother them. ”

"Don't worry, sooner or later they will understand you. ”

Meng Xiangting watched Shao Gong eat, went to the computer chair to look at a chapter he uploaded, turned his head and smiled slightly: "Write a new book." ”

"Well, I've just just started writing. ”

Shao Gong said: "Sister Meng, let's eat together!"

"I've eaten it, and my little sister made it for you. ”

Meng Xiangting smiled: "You eat, I read." When she said this, there was a sour taste, Yang Yue'er knew what she was thinking about Shaogong, and naturally she knew that she was not included in that heart.

Shao Gong heard the meaning of her words, but he didn't have the heart to move emotionally now, and a lot of things were still waiting for him! Looking at him like this, Meng Xiangting was also a little sad in her heart, she felt that Shaogong was not a person who didn't understand feelings, but he buried his feelings deep in his heart, and he didn't want others to see them, maybe he didn't have feelings, maybe he hadn't met someone who made him understand feelings, or maybe he still had a lot of unfinished. Anyway, who knows what he thinks!

Meng Xiangting looked at the computer screen, only to feel some unexplained sadness in her heart, and it happened that Shaogong was having dinner at this time, so she silently packed up the dishes and chopsticks and went out. And Shao Gong sat down in front of the computer and patted his face with his hand, got rid of all the distractions in his heart, and started the yard career of "Zhu Xian" again.

It wasn't until one afternoon passed, when it got dark, that he uploaded three more chapters before it was over. Calculating the time, Ouyang Fenqi's teaching time is running out. Shao Gong believed that after Ouyang Fenqi finished teaching, Ouyang Ke would be able to find a crew for him to intern. And once he goes to the crew, the update of the novel will definitely be affected. So he must write as many manuscripts as possible in this limited time and store them temporarily, so that even if he goes to work in the crew, the novel can be uploaded by Meng Xiangting on his behalf.
