365, Daystar (second shift)
The two leaned on each other quietly, Tan Youyou liked the quiet moments with Su Cao very much, and became less and less popular than before, but a little more sentimental. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
As a result, within five minutes, Tan Youyou heard Su Cao's slight snoring, quietly looked up, and saw him leaning on the head of the bed and falling asleep.
Carefully let Su Cao lie down, Tan Youyou covered him with a quilt, and then fell asleep.
The next morning.
Tan Youyou opened his eyes and found that Su Cao was up and was using the computer to check things.
"What are you doing??" Tan Youyou asked in a daze.
"Looking for a post-production studio, I planned to rent one, only to find that there are too few companies that can directly do special effects and post-compositing, and there are few rental studios, and the price is too expensive."
Su Cao complained loudly, picked up the milk on the table and took a sip.
"What do you eat? I'll get you some? β
Tan Youyou shook his head, "I don't eat, you can eat it yourself, let me sleep again, I've been too tired lately, and there is another thing, that is, there are still 35 million in the shooting fund, you can look at it." β
"What??"
Tan Youyou's words made Su Cao inexplicably surprised, and he looked sideways.
"Why is it like this, we actually spent more than 80 million yuan on filming??"
Tan Youyou replied while sleeping with his eyes closed: "Yes, the salary cost nearly 30 million, and the rest was used for filming, this is still Xiaofang eating, living and traveling, and giving a lot of discounts, otherwise the money will be nearly 10 million less." β
Counting with his fingers, Su Cao found that the funds were really a little nervous.
Because "Resident Evil" belongs to the sci-fi genre, many places need to be made with special effects, the price is not too high, and the number is large, and this aspect also needs at least 10 million, or 15 million.
Counting some of the money for the final editing, 20 million is barely enough.
If this is the case, then Su Cao is facing a big problem.
There is no money to promote!
Generally speaking, whether it is a movie or a TV series, publicity is the top priority, accounting for 20% of the entire filming fund.
No matter how much money Su Cao saves, he will also take out 15 million for publicity.
This is really a big gap for him.
"Okay, I see, you can sleep."
Su Cao didn't show his worries, and calmly let Tan Youyou go back to sleep.
After contacting several companies that do special effects and post-production with her mobile phone, Su Cao got dressed and went out with her car keys.
After experiencing a traffic jam in Songhai in the morning, Su Cao came to a post-production company called Daystar.
The company's faΓ§ade is not large, it is a two-story store house of four or five hundred square meters.
Parked the car, Su Cao walked into the Daystar company.
The person in charge of the reception at the front desk was a tall, fair-skinned beauty, and when she saw Su Cao coming in, she hurriedly stepped forward to greet her.
"Hello sir?? How can I help you. β
"Hello, my surname is Su, I called your manager just now, I want to do some post-production, and editing, is your manager here?"
Su Cao made her intention clear, and when the reception beauty heard that she was looking for a manager, she immediately smiled, picked up the phone at the reception desk, and dialed a number.
After a while, after receiving an affirmative reply from the manager, the beauty smiled and said, "Mr. Su, our manager invites you to go up to the second floor, and he is waiting for you above." β
Nodding, Su Cao went up the stairs to the second floor, and found that the layout of the second floor was relatively elegant and magnificent.
As soon as he walked up the stairs, Su Cao saw a man in his thirties not far away, waiting for him.
The man was wearing a suit, his hair was obedient, and his face was shrewd and capable, and when he saw Su Cao, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
"Hello, hello, Mr. Su, I also asked you to run in person."
Su Cao smiled and waved his hand, "Yes, I'm not in a hurry, after all, I'm waiting for the late stage now!" β
Holding the man's hand, Su Cao found that the man was also taking the opportunity to look at him, and then he suddenly realized and patted his forehead.
"You, are you Su Cao??"
It is not surprising that Su Cao can be recognized, after all, his exposure rate has been quite good recently.
"Hehe, it's me, I just finished filming a TV series, and I want to do the post-production, but there is no one in Songhai, so I had to look for it on the Internet for a while before making a call."
"Disrespectful, disrespectful, I'm really surprised, generally people as well-known as you have a special post-production company, and it's the first time for me to receive such a big person as you."
Su Cao knew what the man said.
But there is no way, he is directing independently for the first time, and this time he has not cooperated with Lao Meng and Luo Hua, of course, he needs to find a post-production and special effects company by himself.
The two exchanged pleasantries, and Su Cao was invited into the office by the man.
Sitting on the art single sofa next to him, Su Cao did not directly ask about post-production, but first explored the details of the man.
"Hehe, I don't know yet, the manager's surname is big."
"My surname is He, Hekun."
He Kun said the name, and Su Cao smiled slightly, "Manchus?? β
"Yes, you are really knowledgeable, and generally my surname is mostly Manchu."
He Kun made Su Cao a cup of tea and placed it opposite him with a smile.
"Well, I know this, my hometown is from Dongliao, there are many Manchus there, surnamed Hai, surnamed He, surnamed Jin, generally Manchus."
Su Cao talked eloquently, which made He Kun slightly surprised, "Are you from Dongliao??" Coincidentally, I'm also from Dongliao, Yangtong. β
"Yang Tong! I've been working at the radio station over there for over a year, what a place. β
Su Cao chatted naturally, and couldn't help but miss those interesting days when she was on Yangtong Radio.
After chatting like this, the two suddenly had a lot of relationship, chatting about the world and talking about a lot of yang ventilation and local feelings.
"Hehe, it seems that you have been in Yangtong for a long time, back to the point, this time, what do you need, just say, I will try to help within the scope."
He Kun leaned on the sofa, looked at Su Cao with a smile, and promised to help with all his might.
Su Cao thought for a while, "Everyone knows about me, "Resident Evil" is a sci-fi TV series, which requires a lot of stunt shots, I need a professional professional stunt team, preferably the top three in China, and a professional post-production room, preferably large, because I need to do some 3D dynamic simulation ......"
said a lot of requirements in a row, and Kun's smile remained unchanged, and he was more and more surprised in his heart, these things are all down, the price is expensive, is it a bit too exaggerated for a TV series to use such a lineup.
"What the hell are you ......?"
He Kun was halfway through the conversation, which made Su Cao look at him suspiciously and asked, "What?" What's wrong with what I'm talking about? β
"No problem, it's very professional, but a lot of things are only used in movies, and a TV series uses these, isn't it a bit too much, of course I'm not questioning your strength, I just think it's too expensive, and it's not worth it."
He Kun told the truth, and Su Cao also understood this.
But he also knows that science fiction film and television dramas basically rely on post-production and special effects production to attract audiences, and of course, the plot is equally important.
"I understand, but I can't help it, I want to do my best, that's my consistent principle."
"So??" He Kun smiled, "No wonder, your show is so popular, and the ratings of the TV series are not bad, this spirit of excellence is worth learning from." β
Similar compliments, Su Cao listened to a lot, and knew that the other party was polite, so it was more important to get to the point quickly.
"You're welcome, let's see how much I need to order these things, and I'll go back and budget."
Seeing that Su Cao began to inquire, He Kun's eyes rolled a few times, and then he said with a smile: "That's it, we are fellow villagers in Dongliao, and we talk so speculatively, plus you have such a big star, I can't ask you more, so let's do it, the special effects and the post-production are counted together, a period of one and a half months, thirty-five million!" β
Thirty-five million!
Su Cao looked at He Kun who was smiling opposite, and wanted to slap him to death.
Friendship price?
Thirty-five million!
Why don't you grab it!
If it is in the United States, this price can be said to be not expensive at all, and the domestic special effects production is very different from the United States, and only the top three companies can barely meet some of Su Cao's basic requirements.
Even if it is the top three in China, no one directly asks for such a high price, and no one does it at all!
Su Cao's face changed, which made He Kun's heart vigilant, and quickly explained: "Mr. Su, don't think it's expensive, the things you ask for are generally the latest technology in the United States, and we also need to negotiate with others before we can use it, and then add a lot of personnel and some other expenses, thirty-five million, it's really not much, and if you change it to someone else, you have to add another 10 million, and I will do it." β
"In addition, didn't you do your homework before you came, uh, you know that we are Daystar, and we are definitely the leader in the same industry in China, and many other companies have no ...... at all."
is worthy of being a salesman, and Kun's mouth, even Su Cao admired it when he heard it, he was unhurried and did not belittle his peers, but it made you feel that choosing Daystar was a very correct choice.
That is, Su Cao can still stay awake, and it is estimated that others have already been confused by this He Kun to sign the contract.
Seeing that He Kun had been talking for a long time, the other party smiled embarrassedly, and found that Su Cao had no intention of signing a contract at all, so he knew that what he had just said was in vain.
"Hehe, I'm done, I think it's a bit expensive, so let's think about it, and then I'll talk about it."
Su Cao didn't say anything to death, as for what to think about, it was all prevarication, and when he went out of the door, he was ready to go next.
"I still think about it, I dare to guarantee that in Songhai, there is no company better than us."
He Kun patted his chest and assured that he naturally had some confidence in his heart.
"En, I believe in your power, you also know, I am not a major investor, and I have been a little nervous about filming at my own expense recently, I also have to go back to prepare, so that we can get in touch after a while!"
Or politely refused, Su Cao was not stupid at all, so he wouldn't just jump in and sign a contract.
