The specific things are handed over to the people below to be responsible, and Luo Yu's main thing is to modify the script and design props. There are many props to be made in this TV series, such as ancient tombs, seven-star coffins, and large zongzi and so on.

Some prop manufacturers simply have no way to produce it, and they must be made manually. The most money-burning thing is that some special effects need to be used in TV dramas, and special effects companies must be found to produce them. If the domestic special effects company is not good, Luo Yu decides to go abroad to find it, he can spend more money, but the quality must be there, he doesn't want to spend money and be scolded for "five-cent special effects".

The props team couldn't find it for a while, and Luo Yu could only revise the script and continuously improve the props. In the evening, Luo Yu accompanied Zhang Wei to the park near the college for a walk, although he is a star, the probability of being recognized by others is not large, so he is not worried about being photographed by reporters.

Walking around, Luo Yu found a large vacant lot in the corner of the park, and it seems that the park has no plans and plans recently. "Oh, is it possible for our crew to make props here, and open them to the public after the filming is completed. And it's not far from the back door, so it won't affect the shooting at that time, so you can try it and forget it!"

The next day, Luo Yu told Yu Dong about this idea, and Yu Dong felt that it could be operated. If the government agrees, it will save a lot of money for the venue, and if it is open to the masses at that time, it will be able to earn a lot of money. Even if it's free, it's not afraid, at least you can promote the TV series, and even if it's not built in a park, it's still going to be built somewhere else.

"It's a win-win plan, and the government should be able to apply for it. This matter is left to me, and I still have some connections in the government!"

"Okay, if you can cooperate, you can cooperate, and if you can't cooperate, you can't cooperate, and you can't force it. By the way, the props team has found it, I have basically drawn the props that need to be made, but the specific ones will not be easy to operate until the team arrives. ”

"It's only been a long time, I have to ask at least some of those teams that have the strength, and then ask if they have a schedule, and finally have to bargain. There will be results in another week, and the same is true for cooperation with the park, and the results will be available in a week at the latest, so you can wait patiently for two days!"

A week later, the props team has found and negotiated the price, and they will come to Yanjing in three days. As for the cooperation with the park, the government basically agrees, but it still needs some formalities and applications, and it is estimated that it will take a week or more. The props team found Luo Yu and troubled Yu Dong to find the special effects team, and Yu Dong's face was pulled down at that time.

Luo Yu moved his mouth, he was going to break his leg, but thinking that Luo Yu was responsible for everything he was shooting, it was enough for him to be busy, and he balanced in an instant. There are so many talents under his command, and it is a matter of one sentence to give orders!

Luo Yu and Yu Dong were in the Yanjing Hotel to pick up the dust for the props team, and they are also a relatively well-known props company. The leader is called Xie Dong, and he is very kind and very suggestive.

"Hello Mr. Xie, I'm director Luo Yu, I'm going to trouble you and your team this time, I will toast you first, I hope we have a happy cooperation. Luo Yu took the initiative to go over and toast.

Xie Dong hurriedly stood up and said, "Director Luo is polite, everyone will eat with the old director in the future." It should be Director Luo who takes care of us!"

After being polite for a while, Luo Yu went straight to the point: "Presumably Mr. Xie has also heard that the props I want to make are very complex and huge." The TV series is adapted from "My Ghost Blows the Lamp", and I have preliminarily designed some props, and we will communicate with each other tomorrow. ”

Xie Dongdao: "I know, before we came, we each bought a copy, and then discussed the production of props. Tomorrow we can have an in-depth exchange, I have to say that Director Luo's book is very wonderful, I was attracted by it, I saw Yanjing all the way from Hong Kong. ”

Luo was pleasantly surprised, "You guys are really professional, it seems that it is a correct absolute to hand over the props to you this time!"

The next day, Luo Yu handed over the task of taking classes to Zhang Wei, and then went to Brothers Pictures. Today, he wants to communicate with Xie Dong on the issue of props and determine the props as soon as possible.

The two exchanged views on the production of props, and most of them were Luo Yu asking Xie Dong to answer. After all, Xie Dong is a professional in terms of props, so he must prevail.

"Director Luo, the specific tombs are easy to make, but the amount is a little large. But that big zongzi is very troublesome, and if you want to play the big zongzi in real life, then you have to find someone in advance and then we will make it according to his situation. ”

Luo Yu nodded, "There is no problem with these, I have found the person." His name is Dong Bin, who is 1.85 meters tall, and he is a burly man, and he can come here tomorrow to report. As for the venue, we have signed a contract with the park, where we will make props, and it will be open to visitors after the filming of the TV series. ”

"This is an opportunity and a big challenge for our team, and we have probably familiarized ourselves with the script and the plot of the TV series in general in the past few days. But I have to go to the park to see the specific prop production, and then I can give a specific planning plan. ”

The props team discussed for a week and then made a plan, Luo Yu saw that there was no big problem with the ancient tomb and the seven-star coffin, and let the props team make it. But the most difficult thing is the big zongzi and the exquisite ancient city, which costs a lot of money, and it has to be placed in the park for tourists to watch, so it increases the rarity.

Luo Yu had no choice but to go into battle shirtless, and he participated in the drawing of the big zongzi, and the specific production was taken care of by professional personnel. The same is true of the Exquisite Ancient City, he gives some suggestions on the drawing, but Xie Dong is in charge of the specific matters. Luo Yu didn't want to compete with Xie Dong for power, he wanted to make the best props in his mind.

In fact, the most tragic thing is Dong Bin, who needs to cooperate with the staff to experiment with props. The whole prop was put together and then turned on him, and sometimes he had to wear it several times a day. Tossing back and forth in such a hot weather, he was tired enough. And the staff also tried to draw directly on his face, so that he became a body drawing board again.

Fortunately, the salary provided by the crew is considerable, and he also likes this role, so no matter how much he tosses, he endures it. He is a special actor, because of his figure, he only has the opportunity to play special roles, and there are not many such opportunities a year.

On the other hand, Luo Yu was also discussing with Xie Dong how to operate the Exquisite Ancient City, and Luo Yu meant to directly build a Exquisite Ancient City in the park. Xie Dong meant that it was enough to build and eat the ancient tombs and seven-star coffins in the park, and the cost of building a refined ancient city was too great.

In the end, Luo Yu directly made a decision to build a refined ancient city, and it didn't matter if it cost more. In the end, the budget of the props group reached 30 million, and Luo Yu agreed without saying a word.

In fact, Luo Yu was also distressed, in the past, 30 million was enough for him to shoot two movies, and even the publicity expenses were in it. But now 30 million is just the cost of making props, and then you need to find actors to shoot, and the cost of a series is at least 50 million.

This can already be regarded as Luo Yu's first big production, but he is very relieved about whether he can make money. "Ghost Blowing the Lantern: The Essence of the Ancient City" will definitely make money, even if it can't make money, it doesn't matter, I still have a few movies to follow. The most important thing is that his horizons and scale have expanded, and it is logical to shoot a movie with an investment of hundreds of millions in the future.
