Chapter 275: Finished, Serious Overspending!
The ninety-minute movie ended quickly, and Huang Xiaoxian and Wang Xiaobei experienced warmth and misunderstanding, and spent the thirty-third day of her broken love in laughter and scolding.
At the end, it was raining heavily in the capital, and the traffic in the whole city was paralyzed, and Wang Xiaobei picked up Huang Xiaoxian on the bus on his bicycle.
This scene was completely filmed on the spot, and the crew waited for nearly half a month to wait for such an excellent opportunity.
"Bang Bang Bang ......"
"Hahahaha, that pot lid is so funny, it's just that the pot just has a mouth!"
"Eat the Oreo cookies, and use the cream in the middle to make a cream cake!"
"And toothpaste with mint flavor..."
The movie ended, and after several months of high-intensity shooting, everyone finally relaxed, and the applause was not stingy at all.
After relaxing that night, the filming of the back door went surprisingly smoothly, and finally ended all the filming on October 18th, and the movie "Zhao Zilong" was finally officially completed after nearly six months of shooting.
The night's finale was arranged in the barracks, and the carnival of more than 6,000 people did not end until midnight.
And Ma Zhiyong, the magistrate of Wuda County, also attended the reception with the heads of the China Merchants Bureau and the Tourism Bureau.
At the wine table, Ma Zhiyong kept thanking Li Mu for choosing their Wuda County as the filming location, creating tens of millions of income for Wuda County, and now the greenhouse vegetables are officially promoted in the county, and the first two phases have also been sold to all parts of the province, and the people of Wuda County can finally get rid of poverty and become rich.
Moreover, Ma Zhiyong also revealed a news after drinking too much that due to the great changes in Wuda County during this time, the province has decided to transfer him to Hohhot to serve as the head of a certain district.
From a three-line... No, the county magistrate of the small county town of the ninth line stepped into the district magistrate of the provincial capital, which made Ma Zhiyong, who was originally going to retire here, regain his fighting spirit, he is only forty years old now, and the forty-year-old deputy hall is not old, and he has every chance to go up a few more steps.
Looking at Ma Zhiyong, who kept pouring wine, Li Mu sighed, he had only waited for such an opportunity for ten years, but once he grasped this opportunity, his future was straightforward.
......
The next day, under the farewell of the people organized by the Wuda County Government, Li Mu and his entourage embarked on the way home by car.
Although the filming has been completed, it is a happy thing, but there is indeed a sadness in each carriage, after six months of filming, these people sleep in the same room, train together, film together, eat together, as if it has become a real friend of life and death.
is about to be separated from each other, and it is a little reluctant to change anyone.
"Shi Chang, I will miss you, and when I have time, I will go to Jibei to play with you!"
"The scene is over, what's the long time, but you are welcome to come and be a guest at any time!"
"I earned more than 20,000 yuan this time, which is much more than what I earned in a year of working in my hometown!"
"Yes, Mr. Li is really generous, I thought that there were only two months' salary, but I didn't expect Mr. Li to directly pay us six months' salary!"
......
Speaking of salary, Li Mu, who was listening to Li Hang's report on the production cost on the bus, felt a pain in his flesh.
originally thought that he would only need to film a war scene for a month, but he forgot the training time, and the war scene was also filmed for four months.
The result is a significant overspending.
"The salary of the group performance is 160 million in total."
"A total of 30 million weapons of all kinds!"
"The food cost is a total of 30 million!"
"Equipment, equipment wear and tear ......"
"Stop! Let's just talk about the total, listening to you read it one by one makes my heart ache for a while! Li Mu said with a painful face.
"Plus the actors' salaries, crew salaries, and round-trip fares...... The production cost this time is a total of 370 million! Li Hang went directly to the last page of the report and said a number that shocked people enough!
340 million, plus post-special effects and publicity costs, the total cost is not nearly six! 100 million!
This is 600 million, and it is nearly 100 million when converted into rice dollars, even if it is put into Hollywood, it is a medium production, let alone Huaxia.
You must know that the total investment of "Red Cliff", which is divided into two parts, is only 600 million.
In this way, the domestic box office will not be able to recover its cost without 1.5 billion, and it will have to rely on overseas box office and copyright to support!
I hope there will be a surprise at the overseas box office this time, if there is no "The Return of the Great Sage" to make more money, it will not be in vain for the hard work of this time!
If others hear this sentence in Li Mu's heart, I don't know how many people will be scared to death.
"The Return of the Great Sage" earned 600 million yuan, which is already the most profitable movie in Chinese film history, and even "Havoc in Heaven", which just broke the record, only earned 450 million.
Even if it is put in Hollywood, there are definitely not many movies that can earn nearly 100 million yuan, and such a film will definitely be regarded as a treasure by the production company, and maybe it will be made into classic series such as "007" and "Mission Impossible", which will become a box office guarantee!
And Li Mu is still not satisfied, I don't know how many directors and producers will be ashamed!
"Mr. Li, what about these veterans, we spent so much money to train them, it's too wasteful to let them go back after filming a movie like this!" Xu Min on the side suddenly interjected.
He didn't say that it was okay, but Li Mu was even more distressed, these people's wages and food combined were nearly 200 million, so it was too cost-effective to put them back like this.
But for the time being, there are no historical war films to be filmed, and it's okay to keep them for them, so after thinking about it, they can only let them go back, but Li Mu still told them to leave a copy of their contact information and address!
"Eh, by the way, that Wang Dajiang and a few who have been special forces have stayed, and I will use them in my next TV series!" Li Mu admonished again.
"Oh... Good! Xu Min hurriedly wrote down Li Mu's words in the notebook.
Hearing Li Mu talk about the new TV series, everyone was a little curious, but Zhang Jing and Feng Shaofeng were scolded by Li Mu during this time, and they didn't dare to speak, but Ma Shaohua, who had worked with Li Mu a few times, spoke, "Director Li, you haven't made a TV series for a long time, I don't know what theme you want to shoot this time?" ”
Li Mu didn't hide it, anyway, the radio and television side was urging tightly, and it was estimated that filming would start as soon as he went back, so he said, "It's similar to "Zhao Zilong", it's also a war drama!" ”
Another war drama? Everyone is a little curious, after all, Li Mu has never made two precedents of the same type of film from sitcom to urban love, to mythology and now historical war dramas, how could he think of making another war TV series this time.
However, Li Mu said again, "But it's not a historical war drama, it's a modern war drama, and it can also be said to be a military drama!" ”
