Chapter 728: Lost

Lin Han had thought about the other party's various answers in advance, whether Han Feiguang chose "Doctor Who", "Lost" or "Stargate", but he asked about the cost of filming!

Even people who are known as the conscience of national dramas have to follow the general environment, thinking about whether they can make money and whether they will lose money, rather than whether the story is wonderful or not. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

When shooting sci-fi works, the more investment the better, so that the production will be more sophisticated, especially this kind of TV series that requires special effects and large scenes!

If you want to stand out from the domestic TV series, you can't just rely on the special effects of five cents, Lin Han pondered for a while, and replied: "These three TV series are not cheap, but fortunately, we can shoot for a long time." ”

Of the three TV series that Lin Han took out, the shortest and most pitiful "Lost" has six seasons, not to mention "Doctor Who", the longest-lived TV series in history that has been broadcast for decades!

Han Feiguang fell silent after hearing Lin Han's words, and even Lin Han said that these TV series are not cheap, so it is estimated that they are indeed very expensive.

"Is there a script like "Immortality" that is more cost-effective?"

"Immortality" is a group of people sitting in the living room chatting to pass the time, the cost is indeed very low, but the requirements for the screenwriters and actors are very high.

So Lin Han replied very happily: "If you are looking for a sci-fi sitcom, then you are looking for the wrong person!"

Han Feiguang noticed Lin Han's dissatisfaction, and immediately apologized and said: "I'm sorry, our company has always been a habit of saving, and I always subconsciously thought of this." I'm actually more optimistic about these three books, but to be honest, if you spend one or two hundred million yuan to shoot a TV series, if it doesn't sell or the ratings are very poor, I'm afraid our company will have to break my bones. ”

"If possible, I'd definitely like to take all three scripts down, after all, there aren't many opportunities to work with you!"

However, Lin Han is immune to this compliment, and funding is not a problem for him, and now Galaxy Pictures is settling the global box office dividends of "The Matrix", and there are two films in the same series later, and the box office is not expected to be too bad.

It's just that Lin Han wants a stable and efficient production team, and now Galaxy Pictures has only been established for a long time, and it is obviously not as experienced as Zhongyuan Pictures, and at the same time, the channels for promoting TV stations are far inferior.

"Don't worry about the shooting funds, our respective companies can afford the general, and the sci-fi TV series is to let the audience sit at home and enjoy the same fun as watching movies!"

In his previous life, Lin Han only cared about the content of science fiction films and television, and rarely paid attention to any lace news, but as far as he knew, the production cost of any science fiction TV series was not low.

The first season of "Westworld" was only 10 episodes, and the production cost was as high as 100 million US dollars, and the Wachowski sisters' "Super Sense Hunt" also cost as much as 9 million US dollars to produce a single episode, and finally it was cut after two seasons because it was too expensive, and the highest episode of "Lost" also cost 10 million US dollars, and the rest of the episodes were not less than 4 million US dollars.

These TV series are different from sitcoms such as "Friends" and "The Big Bang Theory", the actor's salary is not the most important, and the cost is mainly spent on filming.

If you don't have money, what kind of sci-fi TV series do you make, how good it is to honestly make idol dramas or romance novel adaptations!

Han Feiguang finally heard what he wanted, not only to buy the script from Lin Han, but also to ask for their funds and reputation, who is more attractive compared to the TV series in which Lin Han is the screenwriter and the TV series in which Lin Han is the producer, screenwriter, consultant and so on?

"With your words, then we will be much more relieved! In this way, we can sign a contract to shoot a TV series every year for the next three years, and how about filming "Lost" first this year?"

Han Feiguang just wanted to tie Lin Han tightly to his company, so he gave such a solution.

However, Lin Han is not stupid, he explained: "If we shoot one film every year, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch it." You have to know that "Lost", according to my idea, may be filmed six in a row. Could it be that when we are filming the third part of "Lost", we also have to shoot the second part of "Stargate" and the first part of "Doctor Who" at the same time?

Eggs can't be put in the same basket, and it's the same for filming TV series, now that the two companies haven't reached any cooperation, Han Feiguang wants to get so many things, Lin Han can be regarded as understanding, none of the businessmen have a conscience!

The conscience of the national drama, I'm afraid it's also black when you cut it.

Han Feiguang didn't care, "Then let's shoot one first, and after we cooperate, maybe we can shoot the rest of the works." Anyway, if it's a sequel, don't worry too much. ”

"By the way, how did you decide to shoot 'Lost'? Maybe it's the most expensive thing to shoot here, maybe you have to rent an island, build a plane wreck, and you need dozens of group actors and crews, and the equipment and props alone are not simple. ”

"Why should I rent an island? There are so many desert islands that no one has, even if it is a famous island, I'm afraid I have to ask them for advertising fees, how can I give money!"

Lin Han patted his head, he didn't expect such a thing at all, if he really wanted to pull out the signboard of himself and Central Plains Film and Television, it might not work abroad, but any attraction in China would welcome it, and the local tourism bureau would probably list it as a guest.

If you succeed in being the filming location of "Lost", do you still have to worry about tourists not coming?

In just such a short period of time, Han Feiguang has already figured it out, leaving Lin Han trapped in the tidbits of the original American drama shooting.

Although there are relatively few parts of China in the tropics, you can still find suitable islands if you look carefully, and this large amount of expenses will be saved, at most the actors, props, and shooting equipment, and the labor cost can be greatly compressed!

And there is no need to shoot and play at the same time as American dramas, but directly complete the filming of this first season in one go, which can save a lot of time.

"I chose "Lost" probably because I listened to your story, and I think it's a bit like a sci-fi version of survival on a desert island, this idea is very attractive, and I have a hunch that on an island, no matter how sci-fi it is, there can't be too much sci-fi content. We don't have to do too many special effects, do we?"

Lin Han had to shake his head in admiration, he had analyzed so much content from his words, and the image of Han Feiguang's shrewd businessman became more and more vivid in his mind, "Yes, "Lost" is mainly about exterior and set money, and there are not many special effects, even if you find a top special effects team in Hollywood, it won't cost anything!"

Of course, the special effects of some scenes are not as gorgeous as possible, sometimes the special effects will quietly blend with the background, looking so real that the audience can't tell that it is fake.

"Then when will I see the final script of 'Lost'?" Han Feiguang rubbed his hands, "To be honest, I can't wait!"

Lin Han touched his chin and carefully calculated the time before saying, "After the Spring Festival, there are only a few days before the Chinese New Year, and I will send it to you then." ”
