Chapter Forty-Nine: Fanfare

(Ask for a ticket!) )

In the next few days, Hu Yifei and Han Mi collaborated separately. He had already written the script, and Han Mi went to recruit some company employees and contact the crew. Hu Yifei took the time to visit the decoration company, and by the way, he inquired about the price of cameras and some lighting equipment; It's a pity that there is no company specializing in the production of professional equipment in China, and the lack of basic film industry is really miserable.

Of course, these are just table jobs. The two of them went around all day, in fact, they were also understanding the market, so as to make a detailed budget table for "Full House" in more detail.

Hu Yifei doesn't have much money in his hand, every penny has to be used on the blade, and it is not necessary to take out a large sum of money to buy new equipment. If you want to make a film for a short time, it is most reasonable to rent it at that time.

In fact, this budget can also be done by others, but Hu Yifei wants to be the boss, so he naturally has to have a more detailed understanding of the development of the entertainment industry. But are these celebrities who want to be bosses really good bosses? Not necessarily, this is like a director who has no sense of screen may not be a good editor, and it is absolutely not okay to be unprofessional.

In order to thoroughly understand all the processes of a TV series from the production budget to the establishment of the team to the final editing and promotion, Hu Yifei decided to do it himself.

So, how exactly is a crew's budget produced?

Generally speaking, film budget refers to the total investment in film shooting, including film script manuscript fee, film props cost, film shooting cost, film participation salary, film post-production cost, film marketing cost, and other costs.

The textbook reads: "The film budget is the foundation and important reference basis for film investment, the premise of film management and market-oriented operation, and the high-quality film budget is the guarantee for the smooth progress of film shooting, production and distribution, and the guarantee for the interests of investors." ”

……

It may seem like a mountain across the rows, but it's actually not that hard to do.

It's like if you're going to DIY build a computer, at least you need to figure out what price you can afford, and then see what configuration is suitable. What model to choose for the CPU, what brand to choose for the motherboard, how big the memory and hard disk are appropriate, and then some graphics cards, chassis, power supplies, mice, etc.

To understand the market price, you can't be too low, it's too low to be comfortable to use. It can't be exceeded, and if it exceeds the standard, you can't afford it, and don't talk about it. To be focused, at least assemble the computer first.

Hu Yifei is the same for the crew's budget.

Consider the actors' appearance fees and crew salaries first, then consider the living expenses of the crew in the filming room, followed by the props, computer stunts, and camera rental costs. If a filming dangerous action actor is injured, there is also the cost of treatment to consider.

These are the lowest, and there are many places to spend money.

Hu Yifei made a very professional spreadsheet, the table framework is not too complicated, one column records the item, one column records the market price, the third column records your budget expenditure, and the fourth column records your actual expenditure.

Because the personnel are not yet in order, some things can't be done in detail now.

He can only control the approximate lenient amount, and ensure that it will not be exceeded by then. If you exceed, you will be in trouble.

Of course, with Hu Yifei's slippery head, he wouldn't do this alone. Before the dormitory closed, I was tired like a dog and had to go back to the dormitory, and the three beasts were still lying in front of the small computer and couldn't take their eyes off it, leaning over to take a look, "(#‵′) Damn, Tenglan!" Nima, isn't she already hanging. ”

Liu Yan had a friendly expression on his face, and pointed angrily at the top of his voice, "You are not allowed to curse Lan Lan." ”

"Die." Hu Yifei slapped his fat pig hand away, "Can you turn that thing off first, brother has something to discuss with you." ”

"That's the right thing. What's the matter, Fly Boss. Zhuo Jun hurriedly turned his head and quickly turned around.

"(#‵′) Damn, I'm not as as you are." Splitting his head and covering his face, he said to the three in the bedroom: "Brother, I want to shoot a TV series, and now I need manpower, and I am going to pull you as an errand, this favor is not to help." ”

One second, two seconds, three seconds......

After three seconds of silence, the three faces turned their heads to stare at him, three standard bewildered faces.

……

No one can be smooth sailing, Hu Yifei encountered a difficulty that every director has to go through on the second day after calculating the approximate budget, that is, the sub-shot script, the sub-shot script is not simple in the eyes of Hu Yifei, a newcomer to the industry, with the experience of multiple crews in his previous life and more than ten years of life experience, Hu Yifei can clearly see the role of the sub-shot script.

He has watched "Full House" in the past, and he can't remember every shot in great detail.

Something, you always need to start from scratch. At most, he has one more super plug-in than the others.

But as far as he knows, people in the circle basically don't arrange storyboard scripts very much. I'm afraid that the storyboard script only knows one and doesn't know the other, and almost all laymen think that shooting the script according to the scene is for the convenience of the crew, and they can change to another group after shooting one set of shots in the same scene. It's not wrong to think so, but this is by no means the most important role of the storyboard.

The object of the storyboard is the editing!

At this stage when mainland TV dramas and movies are just emerging, whether it is the Xiangjiang team or the mainland team members who are eager for quick success, it is estimated that nine out of ten crews are unprofessional.

No matter how delicate many things are, it is the director or the investor who makes the final decision. In the long run, I still work hard to do a storyboard.

"Hu Yifei, this is a decoration design plan, can you see if it is suitable?" Han Mi came to the door again.

Hu Yifei took it and threw it away, "I can't understand the sketch." You don't even have a 3D model, let me see it. ”

Han Mi blinked and said confidently: "You still want a 3D model, you don't have to spend money, where is the time." I can understand it. ”

Hu Yifei was speechless, and said in his heart, then you still let me see it, sincerely laugh at my brother.

didn't say this, he was also the boss of the company, but he couldn't be stepped on by his subordinates like this, and waved his hand: "I believe in your vision, but there is a little requirement." Try to be as avant-garde as possible and leave more room for future expansion. Don't be afraid to spend money, just find designers with full personality and unique design style. After all, this is the nest where we will live for a long time in the future. ”

"Good!" Han Mi patted him on the shoulder very angrily, "Sister admires your boldness, wrapped around me." ”

What Hu Yifei didn't expect was that this decision made him regret it for a long time in the future.

Hu Yifei has often asked for leave recently, and Liu Qingqing, as the head teacher, is also quite distressed. I don't know, I thought that Hu Yifei finally couldn't resist the temptation to become bad if he was rich, and the last time her best friend Han Mi made trouble in the boys' dormitory at school, it didn't make her feel embarrassed. knows, of course, Hu Yifei is busy opening a company with Han Mi, and he is in full swing, and he can't wait to break it in half in a minute.

She was also curious and came to the company.

was immediately caught by Hu Yifei and Han Mi.

Han Mi and Hu Yifei glanced at each other, and came on the field with a wicked smile: "There is a way to raise soldiers for a thousand days and use them for a while, Comrade Liu Qingqing, there is a difficult task assigned to you in the organization." ”

"The little girl is only a shallow learner, I'm afraid she will be embarrassed by the heavy responsibility, Han Nuxia, you will raise your noble hand and choose another virtuous one." Liu Qingqing saw that something was wrong and decided to escape.

"How so? Even a pair of underwear and a piece of toilet paper have their uses. Comrade Liu Qingqing, this is the organization's trust in you, don't let down the organization's expectations. Hahaha, Hu Yifei, you go! ”

Hu Yifei licked his face: "Teacher Liu, you have to do this thing." You also know that we are filming a fashion drama, and to distinguish it from the current domestic fashion drama, costumes and styling will be the top priority. You have been studying hard for ten years, why do you have to endure classes every day? Why not take advantage of your youth and show off your talents. ”

He spoke earnestly and with a generous face: "What is the most precious thing in life, life." Life belongs to people only once, and a person's life should be spent like this. When you look back, you will not regret that you wasted your time, and you will not be ashamed of doing nothing. In this way, when you are dying, you can say: my life and all my experience are dedicated to the most magnificent cause in the world - to dedicate my life to fashion aesthetics! ”

"Huh~~ I'm getting goosebumps. Hu Yifei, I didn't expect you to be able to say that. Hu Yifei was making a deep statement, but Han Mi said something inexplicably, and the atmosphere was all destroyed.

Liu Qingqing couldn't resist the greasy smell, knowing that most of them couldn't stay out of the matter, and she was also a little moved by Hu Yifei. Like he said, she is still young, should she be a teacher for the rest of her life? Half-pushed, half-said: "Okay, okay, I'm unlucky to meet you." Tell me how to do it. ”

"Choke to death!" Hu Yifei and Han Mi gave a high-five, which made Liu Meimei roll her eyes.
