Chapter 97: It took eight months

How Ah Le negotiated with Fan Bingbing, Zhou Nianwang was not present, so it was not very clear. But there is one thing that Zhou Nianwang knows, that is, neither of them chose to clarify publicly.

It seems that between the two of them, there is indeed a little bit of fame.

The days seem to have calmed down again.

Zhou Nianwang still attends his elementary school, and his sister still attends kindergarten every day. It seems that everything is back to square one. There is no so-called desert island live broadcast, and there is no so-called continued filming.

Except for my father, who is still busy with his feet on the ground every day, everything at home seems to have entered the track that a normal family should have.

However, King Zhou Nian knew that this was just the calm before the storm.

As long as he is still starring in movies and his father is still a director, their family will never be quiet. The brief silence of the present is only to meet the more violent 'storm' that follows.

The post-production special effects processing of "Agent Brothers and Sisters" took a bit long. After all, there are a lot of special effects involved in the whole film, and if it is not handled carefully, it will inevitably make the audience feel that this is a shoddy movie.

For the sake of my father's future fame, even if he spends a lot of money this time, he must perfectly present the special effects in the film in front of the audience.

It's a pity that my father, who is a producer, used up all the 12 million sponsorship fees brought by the studio, not to mention, and forcibly took out 5 million from his pocket.

Victory or defeat is here.

If this movie is released and the box office does not reach 20 million Chinese dollars, then Dad's little family background will all be smashed in it.

Of course, this is just the money that my father took out, and he can get it back. But like the bonuses of those staff in the studio, there is no way to give them out.

To be precise, although my father brought 12 million sponsorship fees for the movie before, this money has not been included in the income. If it is included, the box office of the movie "Agent Brothers and Sisters" must reach 50 million Chinese dollars to make money.

Otherwise, it would be a loss that I don't even have pants to wear.

After all, if the box office is extracted at 100 yuan, the real producer can only get it for about 33 yuan.

This does not include the appearance fee of Zhou Nianwang's brothers and sisters, as well as the cost of his father as the chief director.

In fact, the total investment amount of 17 million, excluding the actors' salaries and post-publicity expenses, is really used to make movies, which is less than half of the total.

Ah Le's salary is 3 million, Fan Bingbing and Chen Kun each received 2 million salaries, and the three of them together have removed almost half of the total investment amount.

Don't think they're going to be too much. You must know that if a first-line star like them wants to invite them to make a movie, the minimum 8 million will not come with a counteroffer.

They can star at a friendship price that they don't have half of their salary, which is already very face-saving. After all, they also have a team behind them, and they also have to eat, so it's impossible to take nothing!

Originally, my father set the publicity cost for the later stage at about 5 million. In that case, in addition to some actor fees such as group performances, as well as some other miscellaneous expenses in the crew, there is still about 3 million expenses left to shoot the entire movie.

Seriously, it doesn't really cost a lot of money to make a movie. The real place to spend money is nothing more than the cost of renting some venues and equipment rental.

But my father has his own studio, and all the equipment needed to make movies has already been bought in his studio, so it can be said that it doesn't cost anything.

Moreover, the filming location is basically done on your own island, and of course you don't need to spend any rent.

Having said that, it seems that there is still a lot of surplus of 3 million, but as soon as the post-production special effects are started, the money is like flowing water, passing through his hands.

This is still the result of saving some use, otherwise, not to mention the remaining 3 million, even if there is another 3 million, it will not be enough to fill the hole of special effects.

Special effects, in addition to professionals who can do this, you really don't know how to do this. Even if my father is a professional director, he can only put forward his own opinions in front of the computer screen.

And if you want the movie to be released sooner, you're going to have to invest more. Otherwise, use a few professional broken computers and run slowly!

In fact, if my father had decided to use a model, he would have saved a lot of special effects production costs. However, the negatives shot with models look fake by themselves, let alone the audience's friends?

Dad resolutely refused to do such a thing.

Thereupon...

The release of the movie becomes a bit far away.

Originally, Zhou Nianwang thought, no matter how slow the post-editing is, it will only take half a year to break the sky, right?

In that case, they can also compete for the Spring Festival stalls and the like. However, when "Agent Brothers and Sisters" really met everyone, it was already April of the following year.

It took 8 months. Among them, 6 months are used to make special effects.

Zhou Nianwang just wants to say, it's really not easy!

People, they have grown up a year in a daze. In the past year, he didn't seem to have done anything except for filming a "Agent Brothers and Sisters"?

Oh, yes!

I also occasionally play live broadcasts to earn some pocket money to spend.

Seven years old.

Seven years old.

Seven years old.

Say the important thing three times.

Zhou Nianwang is seven years old this year and a second-grade student in primary school. Of course, it's also a temporary honest elementary school student.

"Victory or defeat depends on this one." Dad, said with a sigh.

The whole movie took 8 months, and my dad was also busy for 8 months. Seeing that the results were about to be produced, my father hesitated.

The greater the expectation, the greater the fear of failure.

The 17 million investment mentioned earlier, which does not include the appearance fees of his father, Zhou Nianwang and his sister, and even the cost of using the island has not been paid.

In this case, the investment of 17 million has been exhausted. If you count the expenses of Zhou Nianwang's family, not to mention that it is quite expensive, there is always 1 million, right?

Zhou Nianwang's salary was already 200,000 a few years ago, even if his popularity is not as good as before, there is no problem with keeping the original salary unchanged, right?

Although my father is a new director, he has also made a profitable movie, and his salary is generally 5% after the movie is released, right?

That is to say, the producer gets the box office money in his hand and then distributes five percent to the director. No matter how bad this movie is, Dad can always get 800,000 yuan, right?

What's more, what about my sister's appearance fee?

Well, ignore the sister.
