After Ip Man's celebration banquet, Chen Jie and Hong Jinbao started intense filming again, and their time became tighter and tighter. If it can't be completed in another half a month, then the film will continue after the two return from the United States. However, the good news is that the crew worked hard, I don't know if Chen Jie's red envelope at the celebration banquet of "Ip Man" had an effect.

After a week of hard work, the filming of "Mr. Zombie" is finally coming to an end. At the current rate, it will probably take about two days for the movie "Mr. Zombie" to be completed.

"It's almost over!" Chen Jie said with some emotion.

"yes, but we seem to be overspent!" Hong Jinbao said.

"What, isn't there enough money?" Chen Jie asked.

"There was absolutely no problem with shooting, but this kind of film post-processing was cumbersome. There are a few shots that cost someone to do the special effects. Applejack, you don't know how dark it is for those people who pin at the computer every day, and one or two shots will cost hundreds of thousands! Now we have about 500,000 yuan of money left, and the special effects in the later stage are really not enough. Hong Jinbao said.

Chen Jie has also heard of this, according to Chen Jie's memory, this "Mr. Zombie" originally invested 6 million, but later because several special effects shots in the later stage were too expensive, the investment was increased to 8 million. Even Liu Guanwei, who is the director of this movie, and Lin Zhengying, who starred in the film, didn't even ask for a salary. Just to complete the filming of this movie.

And now in this movie, Chen Jie and Hong Jinbao joined forces to invest 4 million yuan, and now they are almost finished, and they only spent 3.5 million. It is already much smaller than the investment in Chen Jie's memory in his previous life. On the one hand, Chen Jie's storyboard script is very detailed, which makes the movie reduce a lot of unnecessary shots and greatly reduce expenses. Second, Hong Jinbao's directing skills are not comparable to Liu Guanwei. The last and most important point is that at this time, several actors in "Mr. Zombie" are not famous, and Xu Guanying, who has the highest salary, only symbolically asks for a salary of 100,000 yuan. This greatly reduced the filming cost of "Mr. Zombie".

"Brother Sanmao, I just recently designed a software that can do some simple animation assignments. When you're done with the movie, ask you to give me a copy of the footage you need to do special effects. If I can do it, we'll save a lot of money. Chen Jie said.

Chen Jie said that Hong Jinbao didn't understand what it was at all, after all, there were not many people in Hong Kong who knew computers in this era. What's more, he's such a big boss. But I understood a little. Chen Jie means that he can do special effects processing for movies! This surprised Hong Jinbao. In his opinion, those who know how to do special effects should be the kind of nerds who wear thick glasses and do a bit of a mistake in front of the computer all day long. Every time he wanted to do special effects, he would find them to explain for a long time, because they really didn't understand movies! But now I heard Chen Jie say that he designed something called software that can do special effects, how can this make Hong Jinbao not shocked!

"Applejack, you mean you can do special effects!" Hong Jinbao asked in shock.

"I haven't tried it yet! In this way, let's prepare with both hands, if I am more satisfied with the effect I make, then we will save this money. If Brother Sanmao is not satisfied, then we are investing in additional investment to get the special effects of "Mr. Zombie". Chen Jie said.

"No problem, I'll tell them to make a copy of the special effects footage now." Hong Jinbao said.

"Don't be in such a hurry, Brother Sanmao, our movie hasn't finished filming yet!" Chen Jie said.

"How can you not be in a hurry! Don't come over for the next two days after you get the copy, and concentrate on completing these sets of special effects shots for me. Hong Jinbao said.

Chen Jie felt a little helpless after looking at Hong Jinbao, but he did not refute Hong Jinbao's opinion.

When the day's filming task was completed, Chen Jie returned home with the copy and never came out again.

It wasn't until two days later that "Mr. Zombie" was finally finished. Hong Jinbao called Chen Jie and asked him not to forget to attend the finale banquet.

When Chen Jie came to the finale banquet of "Mr. Zombie", Hong Jinbao saw Chen Jie and hurriedly asked

"How's Applejack?"

Chen Jie glanced at Hong Jinbao and knew that Hong Jinbao was now very interested in wanting to know about the special effects of "Mr. Zombie", so he said

"I've just finished working on one set of shots, and two more sets of shots are going to take some time!"

"So you can really do special effects! Take me to see if it's effective. Hong Jinbao said excitedly.

Chen Jie didn't expect Hong Jinbao to be in such a hurry, but he couldn't take Hong Jinbao back to see the effect. Because by the time Chen Mingmen came out, Zhao Yuzhi hadn't woken up yet! In fact, according to Chen Jie's speed, the processing of special effects should have been completed in two days. After all, the special effects requirements of the movie "Mr. Zombie" are not very demanding. This is not a problem for Chen Jie. In addition, in order to shoot "Mr. Zombie", Chen Jie has almost become a monk in the past week. So in the past two days, Chen Jie has spent most of his time on Zhao Yuzhi's body and has not dealt with special effects, otherwise Chen Jie would have completed the two undemanding special effects shots.

"Brother Sanmao, don't be in such a hurry, our "Mr. Zombie" has just been completed, you can rest for two days. By then, I should have all the footage processed! Chen Jie said.

"If I don't look at this special effects shot now, I won't be sure! How can you have the mind to rest! Hong Jinbao said.

"Then you can't go now! Today is the finale of our "Mr. Zombie". What would be if we weren't either there! Chen Jie said.

Hong Jinbao also felt that he was indeed a little anxious after hearing Chen Jie's words. So he said, "Then forget it for today." I'll go back to you tomorrow to see the results. ”

"Don't bother! You have a few more drinks tonight and a good night's sleep tomorrow. I'll be done the day after tomorrow! Chen Jie said.

"You kid aren't perfunctory to me, are you?" Hong Jinbao joked.

"How dare I! Aren't I afraid you'll be tired! You'll go to my place tomorrow and read it again, and you'll watch it again the day after tomorrow. What a hassle! Besides, if you go to me tomorrow, it will disturb my work! It's better to pick up the copy when it's done the day after tomorrow! Chen Jie said.

Hong Jinbao listened to Chen Jie's words and pondered for a while and said, "Okay, then I'll wait for you in Baohe the day after tomorrow!" Hong Jinbao said.

"No problem, I'm sure I'll surprise you! By the way, I haven't congratulated Brother Sanmao, I heard that "Five Lucky Stars" is a big hit in Taiwan, and I heard that it has exceeded 90 million Taiwan dollars! Chen Jie said with a smile on his behalf.

At this time, the exchange rate between the Taiwan dollar and the Hong Kong dollar was about 1:4, which means that the box office of "Five Lucky Stars" in Taiwan also exceeded 22 million Hong Kong dollars. When the dividends from Jiahe arrive, Hong Jinbao will receive millions more. For his economy can be greatly relieved.

Hong Jinbao was also very happy to hear Chen Jie talk about it.

"Thank you Ajie, thanks to the channel you gave Golden Harvest to contact Cai Songlin. I made a lot of money. Hong Jinbao said.

The two were polite to each other, and the crew of "Mr. Zombie" finally arrived. Everyone has been busy together for nearly a month, and they have already gotten acquainted, and when Hong Jinbao announced the start of the finale banquet, everyone began to fight together in groups. Several of the main actors in the crew took it and poured Hong Jinbao and Chen Jie into it, and Hong Jinbao drank Chen Jie's wine very angrily. After drinking, he smiled at Chen Jie and said, "You kid, don't use drinking too much as an excuse!" I must see the special effects lens the day after tomorrow! ”

Chen Jie smiled a little helplessly and said, "You can rest assured!" I'm going to make a shot for you even if I haven't slept for the past two days! ”

Because of Hong Jinbao's obstruction, Chen Jie was not drunk during the finale banquet, and when he returned home, he saw Zhao Yuzhi still lying on the bed. Chen Jie shook his head a little self-deprecatingly. I walked into the study and started to get busy.
