It's actually true to make blockbusters and make a lot of money, the income of movies is very considerable, and it can even be said to be a huge profit, so there have always been ghosts, snakes, and gods in this industry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

But correspondingly, making movies is also very money-burning, otherwise Zhang Yao's family would not have been burdened with so many debts and finally went bankrupt.

The cost of a movie is very common to be tens of millions of dollars, and at present, it is embarrassing to say that it is a blockbuster if you don't burn three or four billion in China, and the same is true for Hollywood, and people's units are still dollars.

Movies don't just burn money, but without money, you can't guarantee quality, it costs money to invite stars, it costs money to do special effects, and the money needed in any aspect is not a small number.

There are millions of small and medium-cost movies Yanhua also has, but almost all of them are literary films, and if they are filmed well, they spend money to buy and drink, if they are not filmed well, let alone the box office, they can't get a good reputation, and it's thankless.

Literary films can't make money, basically making a loss of one, which is definitely not a good choice for profit-seeking investors, so the current situation of the Yanhua Empire's film industry is that there is a serious shortage of small and medium-cost films.

China has long been the largest box office outside of North America, the market is large but unhealthy, too mercenary also hinders the development of the entire film industry.

Aside from the box office reputation, among the movies that can be released in theaters in the Yanhua Empire, the lowest cost is several million, and Zhang Yao and the three of them have made up 2,500 yuan after deducting living expenses.

"Are you sure that's enough?" Xia Yaohan and Wang Lei spoke in unison.

"Reluctantly, I said a long time ago that making a movie doesn't have to be a big production." Whether two thousand five is enough, Zhang Yao is still pondering.

"But it's not enough money to buy a camera." Xia Yaohan slapped the back of his hand and reminded him.

"Isn't there a ready-made machine for equipment like a camera, and it doesn't cost money to borrow it." How could a film and television school not even have these.

Wang Lei was a little stunned and said: "In the same way, if the requirements for the studio are not high, the school's teaching studio can also be used, and it can also be saved." ”

"You've finally got the hang of it." Zhang Yao nodded with satisfaction.

"Let's not talk about the actors, what about the lighting? What about prop masters? What about photography? Can't we do it? Wang Lei wiped his forehead and listed the problems one by one.

Xia Yaohan frowned and waved his hand: "Wait, people's words are really not a problem, we are a film and television academy, are you afraid that you won't find anyone if you have the opportunity to make movies?" ”

In fact, many students in the school have already participated in film shooting and production, especially Xia Yaohan, who is studying acting, and it is not for nothing that they have become famous before graduation.

It's not that others don't want to participate, but they don't have that opportunity, they are majoring in film and television, and they all take it as their dream, who wouldn't want to have the opportunity.

Although Zhang Yao's two thousand five hundred yuan is unreliable no matter how you look at it, at least it is also an opportunity to practice, and there is no problem in calling friends and companions, besides, Xia Yaohan has a wide range of friends, but he is a god-like existence.

For example, if Zhang Yao wants to pull people to fight in groups, there will definitely be few people to fight him, but in the case of Xia Yaohan, as long as she goes to the teaching building to shout, it is not a matter at all to pull the hundred and ten people out.

At this point, no one can disagree with Xia Yaohan, she is a well-known demon king in the acting department.

"I can handle all the lighting props, but if you take pictures, Wang Sanshi, can't you too? The words of the actors are even more everywhere. Xia Yaohan thought about it like this, and felt that everything was really not a problem.

Compared with directing, Wang Lei has more work in photography, he has a strong sense of picture and a high artistic talent, which is praised by the teacher.

Hehe smiled, Wang Lei said: "Sister Yaohan, you are also versatile, and there are people with post-soundtracks, so it's really not wishful thinking for us to spend 2,005 to make a movie, and you can't even spend a dollar." ”

As he spoke, he felt like the movie had already been made.

Zhang Yao said: "It's not wishful thinking, but it's not the same as what you think, and it's really not so simple to do." ”

"Okay, then you go on, we'll do what you say, and try our best to get this done." Xia Yaohan snapped his fingers and said, "Equipment, studios, and related personnel are not a problem, what else?" ”

"I already have a good idea of the script, and I can write the storyboard at night. The problem now is that the actors, the people in your acting department are not suitable, one is too young, and the other is that the acting skills are still very jerky and cannot meet the requirements. ”

"I thought I would just be able to go up, but my sister is also a professional." Xia Yaohan pursed her lips, looking a little disappointed.

Zhang Yao said: "You are too young, otherwise you can really accommodate you to act, but it is really inappropriate." I need a middle-aged man in his thirties who is very demanding in his acting skills. ”

"That's it, the school really doesn't have a suitable one. Please, extras also have to pay fifty yuan a day, and we have to find someone with good acting skills, where can we find a salary? Wang Lei spread his hands and said that there was no way.

Zhang Yao hugged his left hand in front of his chest, touched his chin with his right hand, and pondered: "This seems to be a real problem, forget it, this problem will be put aside for the time being, in addition to the actors, there are necessary props to prepare." ”

"Uh, you're just an actor in this movie?" Xia Yaohan stared at Zhang Yao with wide eyes, and the latter said as a matter of course: "That's why I said that making a movie is actually very simple." ”

Wang Lei couldn't help rubbing his temples and said, "I can't wait to read the script now, what kind of story is this?" ”

"The script is basically already conceived, only some details have not yet been decided, and you can see it tomorrow. Before that, there is a question, which country is in a more chaotic situation now? Zhang Yao had roughly straightened out his thoughts at this time, and his goal was very clear.

Xia Yaohan thought for a while and said, "Then it must be the Middle East, Iraq and Syria are chaotic enough, notorious terrorists are rampant, and the empire has also sent the Royal Army to maintain peace." ”

"Hmm." Zhang Yao nodded and said: "Then the story happened in Iraq or Syria, the actor is just an ordinary employee, who was photographed by the company to work there, and encountered a terrorist attack in the process of transporting daily necessities." ”

"This scene, 25 million is not enough to shoot, right?" Wang Lei was stunned when he heard this.

Zhang Yao said: "It's just a background clue, who said to shoot this scene?" The male protagonist was captured, and when he woke up, he found himself lying in a coffin, and he was buried in the ground, and he had to use limited props to escape in a limited time, and this story is called being buried alive. ”
