After several hours of driving, I followed the navigation instructions and rushed to Xiangshan.

After parking the car, he gently woke up Da Mi Mi, who was sleeping deeply.

Qiao Mu carried his backpack, and the two of them walked towards the hotel of the crew of "Langya Bang" one after the other.

When they finished work, they discussed with Director Lin that they would give priority to filming Reba's scenes so that they could free up the schedule. Then the two of them took a few days off and left Hengdian at night.

"Langya Bang" was filming a night scene, and Qiao Mu also refused Kong Shen's invitation to greet him, and he rushed to the hotel with Da Mi Mi himself.

At the front desk, he opened a suite for Da Mi Mi, sent her in, comforted her, and coaxed her to sleep.

Subsequently, he sent a message to Shi Ye and asked for her room number.

The young couple parted for a few days, but they didn't seem to have seen each other for several years, playing hugging, kissing, and holding high, and they were not too tired.

Rest for the night, early the next morning.

Qiao Mu got up from the paralyzed Shiye, and after freshening up, he went to see Director Kong Shen.

It is said that Kong Shen has done a lot of preparatory work for this scene.

In the past few days, I have drawn no less than hundreds of shots. During the filming, as a director, he was frequently distracted, but fortunately, the actors had the skills and their acting skills were online, otherwise the progress would have dragged on for several days.

Kong Shen was very excited early in the morning, after seeing Qiao Mu.

He grabbed Qiao Mu's wrist and couldn't wait to walk towards the set.

Qiao Mu looked at him and felt that something was wrong, he was especially afraid that Kong Shen would make a mistake in his brain, and he would take 20 million to shoot a 45-minute episode of the TV series. This is a domestic drama, not an American drama, let alone "Game of Thrones", there is no need to play like this.

He said, "That, Kong Shen." By additional investment, I mean a total investment of 20 million. ”

Kong Shen said: "I know, there are also used for post-production special effects. I also specially invited some experts to come over and analyze the situation on the spot. ”

Qiao Mu always felt unreliable, and he asked, "Then in this episode, how much budget did you apply for with my family Shishi?"

Kong Shen waved his hand and said, "It's a small matter, it's just over 11 million, and the remaining more than 9 million are used for the special effects of this episode." ”

Qiao Mu's eyebrows trembled, this is still 20 million per episode, which is enough to shoot a "Shanshan is Coming" by himself, and the momentary angry words are so heart-wrenching.

In the history of domestic TV dramas, there is really no such play.

They first came to a grassland, Kong Shen said: "Here, we will shoot the part where King Yu sent troops to attack Jiu'an Mountain, and Meng Zhi led his troops to take the initiative to fight back. ”

Qiao Mu was a little depressed, all the money was spent, so he had to shoot better. He asked, "Have you figured out how to shoot it?"

Kong Shen nodded and said, "I invited a historian to consult on ancient wars. I have analyzed the battle mode of the cavalry, and it will definitely be exciting when the time comes. Moreover, just here, we will also arrange for King Yu to send people to attack, but unexpectedly, the gunpowder was ignited, and the sneak attack army was blown up. ”

Qiao Mu opened his eyes and stared at Kong Shen.

He didn't finish reading the script of "Langya Bang", only read the first part, and he asked: "Isn't this the Northern and Southern Dynasties? Where did the gunpowder come from?"

Kong Shen said: "This original work is an alternate history and cannot be made into a TV series. That's why we replaced it with those of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, including the households inside, all the same. Our TV series can't follow the history of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, otherwise many wonderful places will lose their original flavor. ”

Qiao Mu thought for a while and asked, "Is there any consideration for the safety of explosives?"

Kong Shen said: "At this point, you can rest assured that the safety issue is very well considered. Especially in the explosion scene, we also invited some physicists to do professional data analysis. First of all, we made a fire model as realistic as possible by referring to the explosion in the real world, making various physical parameters. Even, down to the level of the tumbling of flames and gases, which defines the scale and expansion of the explosion. ”

Qiao Mu listened to Kong Shen's bragging, anyway, he listened to it very mysteriously, he said: "Then I only ask the last sentence, have you thought about how to shoot your big scene? I have seen some, the war scenes in Chibi and the Three Kingdoms are quite chaotic and miscellaneous. ”

Kong Shen said: "You can rest assured of this. In this episode, there will be different scenes and stages, and many of our departments will be involved in it, and the filming will be connected. ”

Kong Shen blew as he walked, and then he took Qiao Mu to the Spring and Autumn Warring States City in the film and television base. He boasted: "This part is the most ** part, guarding the hunting palace." We will simulate the siege tactics of ancient times, rocket sieges, and lay out certain parts of the city. Including those that need to be burned, those that do not need to be burned, and even those that are locally burned. ”

Qiao Mu took a breath of cold air, and he asked, "You don't plan to burn a wave of film and television bases, do you?"

Kong Shen nodded and said, "I told the person in charge here that a part that can be incinerated has been planned. There are many things to consider in this scene, including how to control the fire. ”

Qiao Mu asked suspiciously, "Then how much do we have to lose?"

Kong Shen said: "More than a million." When we are filming, we will control the degree of burning. And some parts, we will create an effect, will not really burn, and will be treated with special effects later. In the post-war scene, eco-friendly paints, dust, and charcoal were used to create an effect. ”

20 million smashed down, just for the weight of more than one episode of war, which is also powerful.

20 million is a pure shooting cost, not including the actor's salary. Ice and fire in North America, tens of millions of dollars in one episode, but including the remuneration of actors, directors, and all personnel.

To be honest, the pure filming cost of more than $3 million an episode can be regarded as a lot of production costs in North America, where money is burned.

It is no wonder that Kong Shen would play such a big game, and physicists and historians have specially invited him to do research and analysis.

In this episode, if the shooting effect is not good, then Kong Shen will never want to make a movie in his life. Otherwise, Qiao Mu has many ways to ban him......

This money, burned, is too outrageous.

Qiao Mu listened to Kong Shen continue to blow for more than half an hour.

Kong Shen's mobile phone rang, he stepped aside, and when he came back, he said excitedly: "Mr. Qiao, the special effects master we invited is testing the blasting effect." Let's go over and see the results, and you won't be disappointed. ”

Qiao Mu's brows trembled, and he asked, "How much does it cost to test once?"

Kong Shen put back the phone and said: "If you test it once, you will probably only use twelve rows of blasting, which is only tens of thousands of pieces." ”

Qiao Mu felt very distressed, and he suddenly felt that "Shanshan is Coming" was the real drama.
