Xiao Ran chuckled in his heart, then smiled bitterly, and turned his eyes to look at Yang Qi and them, all of them looking surprised. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info not allowed to smear? Xiao Ran didn't know what to say, the censorship system came to this set, and he didn't expect to be stuck in the deadliest place here in the military.

At this moment, Xiao Ran really wanted to give up everything, and he suddenly felt very tired. It took a lot of effort for him to fight for all this, but he was still stuck where he was most afraid.

Can there be something that is not smeared? What is the definition of smearing? is like the plot in "Black Hawk Down", because of the wrong information of the United States [***], which led to a fiasco, is that considered a smear? There is a plot of a retired soldier being a thief in the film, is this considered a smear?

Xiao Ran really doesn't know now, although movies can achieve a propaganda role, but it is more of a popular entertainment art. It would be an unwise decision for the political axe to be completely controlled.

If it is really stuck here, then Xiao Ran would rather buy all kinds of weapons and even fighter jets from Russia out of his pocket, and then buy a piece of land from a certain country as a filming base for such a plot. I just don't know if private purchases of weapons are allowed?

"It's hard for us to accept your conditions!" Xiao Ran smiled bitterly for a moment, and finally said in as euphemistic a tone as possible: "In terms of the theme of the film, of course we will not focus on this. However, there will certainly be no shortage of such plots, for example, there are likely to be stories such as the mutiny of some high-ranking military generals in the film, is this also a smear? I think you need to give me a good definition! ”

"That's it, in this way, it's like censorship stuck, and we won't be able to film at that time!" Although Lei Kaitai's temper is not very good, he still doesn't dare to be too presumptuous in the face of the military.

He Zhishan frowned and glanced at the four giants, judging from his expression, they were obviously all opposed. Before coming, he had specially investigated these people and knew that they were led by Xiao Ran, so as long as Xiao Ran was convinced, there would be absolutely no problem.

However, in view of the entanglement of the censorship system, the military has also talked to Huang Qun on this, and before sending him to talk about this matter, he has considered all aspects very carefully. Therefore, now He Zhishan is not speechless to answer: "We have referred to the practices of the United States [***], and we have also observed your films in recent years, and basically there is no such smear situation as we refer to!" ”

Having said this, Xiao Ran's heart, which was gradually cooling, opened up again, and in this way, it seemed that the military did not intend to get them stuck at this point. Glancing at them with Yang Qi, they all noticed this and gave Xiao Ran a knowing look.

He Zhishan glanced at the four of them, and said calmly and calmly: "The so-called smear refers to attacking the military, after referring to the practices of the United States [***]. We've decided to do it in a similar way, and we're not going to provide any assistance unless your video depicts the military in front. Of course, if your film has the same negative portrayal of the military as the positive portrayal, or more, it will certainly not help. ”

A smile gradually spread on Xiao Ran's face, he never expected that the military would be so open, much stronger than that damn censorship. Very quickly, Xiao Ran immediately thought that the military's willingness to make such concessions obviously had content in it, and it probably meant that the censorship system was about to go in this direction.

Thinking of this, Xiao Ran's mood was completely happy, if he could really do this, then he could let go of Hollywood and Murdoch's classmates. In fact, the reason why the military is willing to open up these conditions is also very simple, and now the military is facing a kind of technological transformation, which requires the participation of many high-level talents, and the promotion of the film is undoubtedly conducive to this.

Moreover, China needs movies to promote it, and the military also needs to promote a positive image and establish its own majesty. Moreover, in addition to several reasons, there is another important reason, which is also the reason why Xiao Ran and the others did not expect it.

Speaking of this, He Zhishan hesitated, and the conditions he wanted to talk about below were definitely unacceptable to the Big Four. Fortunately, the Ministry of Defense also gave him a bottom line for bargaining, otherwise, he didn't know how to say it. After hesitating for a moment, he said embarrassedly: "I think the key to the dispute is the cost!" ”

Yang Qi looked at He Zhishan proudly, and they couldn't afford the cost: "The cost is definitely not a problem, as long as you are open before, we will definitely be able to accept the cost!" ”

He Zhishan smiled bitterly, this was the second time Xiao Ran had seen him smile, and he was still smiling bitterly, and he immediately felt bad. He Zhishan cleared his throat and said with a look of shame: "If you send a special sortie for the crew, you will have to charge five million, and if it is the best tank, you will need 500,000 refueling fees for each trip......"

"What?" Xiao Ran couldn't restrain himself from standing up, and looked at He Zhishan with wide eyes and disbelief. Only one sortie of fighter jets is such a price, and the Ministry of Defense is crazy about money. Xiao Ran didn't even dare to imagine how much it would cost if "True Lies" started filming, it was on this item alone.

Lei Kaitai jumped up in shock and shouted: "What are you kidding, five million, you might as well grab it, after doing this, whether you can make money is still a question!" ”

Pan Disheng and Yang Qi couldn't hide their shocked expressions, and they were completely stunned. Especially Yang Qi, who had sworn just now that he would be able to accept it, now he couldn't wait to go back in time and go back to the moment when he swallowed his words.

He Zhishan was not a businessman in the first place, and under the expressions of the four of them, he felt extremely embarrassed. When he first heard the number given to him by the Ministry of Defense, he was so shocked that his teeth were about to fall out.

Xiao Ran barely calmed down his emotions, and only then did he move around a few times, his thoughts racing in his mind. This figure is absolutely impossible to accept, otherwise if you make a "True Lies", it will require at least tens of millions of weapons fees.

Just kidding, definitely kidding. Wu Yusen's "Wind Whisperer" rented the military base of the United States [***] and other weapons, all of which only cost one million dollars, and the production cost of that film was as high as more than 80 million, which seems to be enough to prove everything.

Although Xiao Ran also knows that it is the American political axe that pays for Hollywood, it is equivalent to indirectly spending a lot of money to fund Hollywood every year. However, this number is too exaggerated, and the protagonist is still required to fly a fighter jet in "True Lies", so if you calculate it, wouldn't this alone be tens of millions?

Although the whole world knows that China is poor, it should not be thought of making money in this area! Xiao Ran was right, the Ministry of Defense really wanted to make a lot of money on this. If Hong Kong films develop normally for ten years, I am afraid that there will be a lot of money spent on this every year.

calmed down his emotions, Xiao Ran came to He Zhishan and said slowly: "You know that we won't accept it, there must be room for this price to come down, right." Don't use movies as a tool to make money, they will always have a much greater propaganda effect on the military than you can see. ”

He Zhishan didn't move at all, so he sat firmly like Mount Tai and didn't shake it. After admiring these businessmen, he reluctantly admitted: "Indeed, as you expected, there is still room to come down!" ”

Xiao Ran and Yang Qi all took a breath of air, the military really wanted their lives to open their mouths like this, fortunately, there was still room for a bargain. For this, Xiao Ran had already obtained the budget investigation report, and the planning department believed that according to the proportion, with a minimum of 100 million yuan, the proportion of special props such as airplanes in the production cost should not exceed one-tenth at most.

That's 10 million, and at the current price of the military, then only two fighter sorties can be dispatched. So what else to shoot? Just shoot two fighter jets flying in the sky? Xiao Ran sighed, aircraft carriers are also a problem, what is the Russian aircraft carrier called Minks will be sold later.

If the Phantom wants to buy it, it is not a problem, but the annual maintenance cost is probably a bit large. However, according to the Phantom's ability and the image copyright he masters, he can make the aircraft carrier into a theme park, and it will also make a lot of profits.

But Xiao Ran would rather donate the aircraft carrier to the military, if the military has money to support it, if it does not affect his international political position. In this way, when you need this kind of film that needs aircraft carriers in the future, you can find a place to shoot it.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Ran thought about it, now 100 million is still a big production, but if it is a few years later, I am afraid it will take more than 200 million to be considered a big production. After calculating it in this way and thinking about it, Xiao Ran quickly repaid the price: "500,000 yuan for each fighter sortie, and 500,000 yuan for military bases, this kind of money is very profitable for you." ”

He Zhishan shook his head, this number is relatively close to the bottom line of the Ministry of National Defense, but it has not yet reached that level: "The minimum number of fighters is one million, and the others will be reduced accordingly!" Moreover, because Hong Kong has not yet returned, the price is the lowest, and if it is after the return, it can be lower......"

Xiao Ran thought for a long time with a calm face, this number was actually what he wanted, and he didn't want the military to pay for assisting in the shooting. If it weren't for the overall situation, he would even be willing to pay a higher price to choose.

This matter was basically decided, and the problem of special items was finally solved. There are very few people who can perceive Xiao Ran's true purpose, and it can even be said that there are none. Everything Xiao Ran has done can be said to be working hard to establish a perfect film system. Now, with advanced knowledge, he has done everything he can, and now that he has even got special props for the military, he thinks maybe he only needs to solve Hollywood and Murdoch to retire.

At this time, in Hollywood, Tielong finally got his first screenwriting opportunity, which was also his way to advancement. Xiao Ran silently put down this information, Tie Long, he did ignore it before. However, he didn't think anyone could pose a greater threat to the Phantom right now.

After thinking about it for a long time, Xiao Ran continued to work, and after a while, You Hai and Tanaka Shin, two beloved disciples, knocked on the door and came in. Xiao Ran beckoned them to sit down, and then blinked and asked, "Letting the two of you come this time is a very important task - adapting Journey to the West!" ”

The two of them were shocked, and this was definitely a problem. Especially Tanaka Shin, who was born as an exchange student, scratched his head and said bitterly: "Brother Ran, this is not easy to adapt into a movie!" You know how long that is! ”

Xiao Ran sat down with a smile and shook his fingers slightly: "If it's not difficult to adapt, then why should I let the two of you do it together!" With Ashin's control in temperament and Hai's control of the plot, I believe that no one in this script can do it except you! ”

The two looked at each other, and there was a look of embarrassment in their eyes. Journey to the West is indeed not easy to adapt, especially if it is adapted into a movie! Of course, Xiao Ran is very aware of this, so he also has an arrangement: "It's very simple, I plan to make this into a trilogy, and I will direct it myself." ”

Xiao Ran is thinking of "The Lord of the Rings" at this moment, if you want to create the momentum of "The Lord of the Rings", then only Journey to the West can do it. However, the special effects also made Xiao Ran very nervous, with the current level of special effects, it is impossible to make the effect of "The Lord of the Rings". At least, he felt it was necessary to make this script first, and it didn't matter who directed it.

"In terms of storytelling, I need to be coherent, as if a film is split into three shots." Xiao Ran smiled: "I think you can do it, don't be polite!" ”

Polite? The two of them smiled bitterly before it was too late, Xiao Ran really gave them a good errand. In desperation, I had to nod and agree. However, it's really not too difficult to live in the script, the difficult thing is the special effects, which are full of monsters, and there is not enough special effects, where is it realistic enough. Xiao Ran thought that he would not have the opportunity to direct it himself.

There was an accident before the summer vacation war in July, and one of the Phantom films was criticized by the audience at the test screening, and the director was so anxious that he immediately edited it again. In the end, the copy was finally launched in time.

It is precisely because of the copy that the later test screenings are often adjusted to have a considerable time interval from the premiere, so as not to make copies after re-editing. In the future, a lot of things have been avoided, but because of piracy in the mainland, the test screening venue does not dare to do it in the mainland at all, and the test screening in Hong Kong is generally only to invite the Phantom Friends and some ordinary people who have been selected to enjoy it.

1994 was the year when the mainland officially introduced foreign blockbusters, and this year "The Outlaw" became the first blockbuster to set foot in the Chinese market, and also announced the advent of the Hollywood era. However, that was the original history, and now everything is different......
