Chapter Ninety-Seven: Acquaintances?
Operation Mekong is Shen Lin's next project. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
This news has not yet been made public, but it is already known to many people in the circle.
Of course, Sun Honglei also received the news, and there is a specific script!
In fact, when it comes to an actor of Sun Honglei's level, almost everything he wants to know, the agency will arrange it in advance.
Although his brokerage contract is still signed in Xinbaoyuan, everyone knows that the current Xinbaoyuan is not the same as it was back then, as long as Sun Honglei wants to leave, Zhao Baogang will definitely not be able to stop him.
The brokerage company is just a service tool for Sun Honglei!
"Of course I wouldn't call rashly, I really thought I was stupid?"
Sun Honglei put down the mobile phone in his hand, "Then what should I do?"
"Shen Lin should have a lot of respect for you, otherwise he wouldn't have pushed down "Chinese Partner" and asked you to shoot "Veteran"!"
Chen Bing analyzed, "Just tell the truth, Shen Lin also makes movies, he should know you." ”
The film market has been very prosperous in the past two years, but for Sun Honglei, it is a bit unfamiliar, and he is rarely seen on the mainstream big screen.
It's not that he doesn't want to film, there are really no good scripts for him to choose from.
"Hong Lei, the current mainstream market likes to find some actors with box office appeal, which is very bad for you, especially if you just starred in "Untouchable""
Sun Honglei's ability to pick scripts is first-class.
Look at the movies he starred in, there are very few bad movies, except for "Untouchable", which is still popular.
Judging from the script, the movie "Youth Class" is definitely a rare good script, but unfortunately, director Xiao Yang played it badly!
As a powerful actor, Sun Honglei certainly wants to show himself on the big screen.
But there are too few good movie scripts, and even fewer are suitable for themselves.
Gao Gang in "Operation Mekong", he liked it very much, but unfortunately when he received the script, Chen Bing told him at the same time that the role of Gao Gang was already Zhang Hanyu's.
It is impossible for him to snatch the role of Zhang Hanyu!
Not to mention whether his image will be suitable, the key is that Zhang Hanyu is the same as him, he belongs to the same circle, and relatively speaking, he is still a junior!
Sun Honglei followed Zhao Baogang, and Zhang Hanyu was Feng Xiaogang's little brother.
It's impossible for the two to get into a feud because of a play!
No matter how much you cut off your beard, you can't cut it off into your own hands!
"Lao Chen, you can help me ask, what projects Shen Lin has next year, his filming speed, whether he plans it is five years later!"
This is true, Shen Lin is the most famous fast gunner in the circle.
"Okay, I'll ask someone about it, but you have to worry about it yourself!"
"Don't worry, I've been in the circle for so many years, when did I say anything, I won't know?"
……
The production cost of the entire "Operation Mekong" is 200 million yuan, which seems like a lot.
But when I calculate an account, I feel a little nervous.
The filming sequence formulated by the crew is Chiang Mai, Thailand, then Bangkok, and there are many scenes in Yunnan, by the way, there is also the capital.
The daily rental of helicopters and armaments is almost 300,000!
This is still a five-fold discount, when Wu Jing filmed "Wolf Warrior", the rent was 500,000 a day!
The entire crew has almost more than 300 people, and the daily expenses, plus the security personnel allocated by the Ministry of Public Security.
Shen Lin was also frenzied and asked for a real shot!
In this way, 200 million yuan is really not enough waste!
After arriving in Bangkok, Shen Lin looked at the crew's expenses for the past month and felt a little depressed.
It seems that 200 million is really not enough!
You know, it's very, very troublesome to not have enough production costs to add a budget.
Bona is not light, let alone Wanda and Ali, and the money in Yu Dong's hands is very limited!
"Forget it, if it's really not enough, I'll fill in some more!"
I have already negotiated with Yu Dong about the production and the director's share, and now I don't have enough money, which is really embarrassing!
By the way, Shen Lin is also the producer of this "Operation Mekong"!
"Linzi, you can cut some expenses, such as this shopping mall, we can rent it, you don't have to build it!"
Chen Yang flipped through Shen Lin's project schedule, "And here, the helicopter formation is not needed, I read the script, there is no need to show the helicopter flying in the air, just cut to the shot of the helicopter parked on the ground when the time comes!"
"That's not good, the mall can be rented, the helicopter shot must be there, I still want to play a big scene!"
Shen Lin was not happy.
"Then you want to cut expenses!"
Chen Yang closed the project plan in his hand, "If I were an investor, I would definitely not let you waste my money so much!"
"It's already very good, renting a shopping mall saves millions compared to setting up the scenery ourselves!"
Shen Lin was very satisfied, it seemed that it was definitely a good idea to let Chen Yang come over.
"Is your TV series finished?"
"It's over, and now I'm looking for a TV station. ”
"Didn't you say it was a script I wrote?"
Listening to Chen Yang's tone, it seems that there is no TV station to buy?
"No, we're looking at which station is more suitable. ”
Chen Yang shook his head, "Many TV stations want to buy, I studied with Li Ying for a long time, and I think Zhejiang Satellite TV and Mango Satellite TV are the most reliable..."
"Give it to Mango Satellite TV, their publicity ability is really amazing!" Shen Lin glanced at Chen Yang, "And our studio can't get into trouble with Mango!"
"Okay, then you sit here first, and I'll go to the crew and have a look!"
Shen Lin nodded and watched Chen Yang leave.
When Chen Yang came, Shen Lin was much more relieved, and the detailed preparations were all handed over to her, and Shen Lin only needed to coordinate the overall situation.
It's been a few days since I arrived in Bangkok, and there is a large set in the eastern suburbs that can be used as a filming location.
It's not so much a set, except for a few slightly dilapidated studios, most of them are wasteland and dilapidated buildings.
After all, Thailand's film industry is not developed, and the most famous movies in Thailand are all innocent youth films.
Interestingly, this once empty and unmanned set is now extremely busy, not only with the crew of "Operation Mekong", but also a crew that is also domestic.
Mr. Chen and his "Detective Chinatown" also chose the main filming location here.
At the beginning, Shen Lin was quite strange about how "Detective Chinatown" could be set up in the eastern suburbs, and it stands to reason that they should shoot in Chinatown in the southern suburbs.
Later, I learned that Bangkok gave very favorable conditions, as long as you shoot in the eastern suburbs of Bangkok, you can enjoy a 15% tax refund policy!
Almost all of the filming of "Detective Chinatown" was in Thailand, and the cost was close to 130 million, and once there is a 15% tax refund, at least more than 10 million can be returned!
Only fools would choose to shoot in Chinatown!
Of course, Shen Lin did not have any plans to change the filming location, and changing the location would inevitably incur a large amount of expenses, and he had no reason to avoid Mr. Chen.
In fact, he and Mr. Chen have never met at all, and they can't talk about acquaintance!
