At the end of March, after the funds of the partner company were in place, several other companies had a larger background and stronger capital, and the funds had already been prepared.

Everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!

This east wind is naturally money!

Naturally, the funds have been put in place, and the crew of "Journey to the West: The Great Sage" jointly formed by the four companies has also been officially established.

Because Wang Qinian is not only a director, screenwriter, but also an investor. In addition, the small partner company is a person and occupies a large number of key positions in the crew.

Therefore, the rights of film production and casting are firmly controlled by Wang Qinian.

However, Beijing Film Studio also sent senior behind-the-scenes staff such as assistant directors, executive directors and cinematographers. This is mainly because I am afraid that Wang Qinian's lack of experience will mess up this film, which costs as much as 10 million yuan.

Because, many young directors are more conceited, and the crew is dictatorial like a king, and it is difficult to tolerate others competing with him for the right to speak.

Therefore, Boss Han deliberately explained, not that he didn't believe in Wang Qinian's ability, but that Zhuge Liang, the last of the three stinkers, filmed a few experienced masters, and also helped Wang Qinian pick up the gaps.

Wang Qinian gladly accepted this arrangement.

In fact, even if Beijing Film Studio does not propose to arrange experienced behind-the-scenes personnel, Wang Qinian will most likely ask Beijing Film Studio.

Wang Qinian is self-aware, and his best thing is not that he writes scripts and stories well, nor does he have excellent filming experience.

But Wang Qinian has an aesthetic that is 15 years ahead, and he has seen too many future works, so what he shoots can always make the audience feel that it is novelty!

This is actually similar to Hong Kong films and Hollywood blockbusters!

The current advantage of Hong Kong films is 1o years ahead of the aesthetics of domestic directors, so the current Hong Kong films have an overwhelming advantage over the films of domestic directors.

Hollywood films were at least twenty years ahead of the level of Chinese film production at this time. In other words, even if Hollywood's film production level does not improve within 20 years, it will take at least 2o2o years for domestic films to reach the level of Hollywood film production at this time.

It is precisely because of the overwhelming advantage of the level of production that it can be welcomed by the market!

Wang Qinian has a very unique aesthetic vision in the eyes of people in this era, and in a sense, it also has this effect!

……

After the crew's funds were in place, there was only a budget of 5oo yuan, which was taken out as an upfront investment.

The 750,000 yuan in cash that will not be used at the beginning is deposited in the trust account under Anxin Trust Company, helping the crew to transfer this cash to bank deposits and other safe ways, which can increase the interest of 30,000 yuan per month.

"In terms of equipment, two Sony high-definition cameras, a new model that was just launched last year, are worth a total of 1oo million US dollars." Han Sanping said, "This is the new equipment specially customized by my Beijing Film Studio, which is already the best professional camera in our factory, and it has not yet been officially put into use." In terms of rent, two units are 10,000 yuan per day, so don't be too expensive! ”

"Okay, thank you, Mr. Han!" Wang Qinian nodded, knowing that the rental of film and television equipment is so expensive, mainly because of the upgrading of equipment.

It's like a computer, some of the latest equipment, maybe it will start to become obsolete in another two or three years, and the price will be greatly discounted. Therefore, the rental rent must be expensive to cover the loss of daily depreciation.

In addition, the 35mm film used in professional HD cameras is also custom-made. A box of film, 5 minutes of footage, 5ooo yuan. Relative to a thousand dollars a minute.

Compared with the film cost of the previous "Gate of Destiny", it is almost 1o times more expensive.

Therefore, although the budget of the film has reached 1.25 million yuan, when shooting, it is still necessary to be careful in budgeting, and the film must not be wasted wantonly.

……

On April 2, the framework of the crew of "Journey to the West: The Great Sage" was built. Hao Yi began to communicate with the prop masters and makeup artists introduced by Beijing Film Studio to negotiate the costumes and props of the film.

The matter of costumes and props, a few months ago, Wang Qinian and others were already designing, and the shape of the concept map is the costume shape that will appear in film and television in the future.

After being drawn, it is to find some professional clothing factories and processing factories to process the costume props that will be used in the plot.

Plus, there's all sorts of trivial little things. For example, a building model of a shrunken village. There are also a bunch of models of villains, heavenly soldiers, demons, and monkeys in ancient costumes. This kind of model needs to be very simulated, and when shooting, it should be fake and real, and the audience can't tell the fake of these props.

The investment in these costumes and props alone cost 1oo yuan. And because the domestic price is cheap, so, custom-made, everyone is more satisfied!

In fact, in this era, China's manufacturing capacity is very strong, if it is engaged in high-end and cutting-edge computer special effects, there is an insurmountable gap between the domestic and international advanced level.

But the customization of makeup and costume props, as long as your imagination and design ability pass, you will definitely be able to make it in China. And, I make it at one-sixth of the price of my overseas counterparts.

This series of props, if you go to the United States to order, it will be 1oo thousand, but the currency unit is the US dollar!

Domestic customization, 1oo million yuan, you can make props that are no less than overseas counterparts!

First of all, the protagonist Sun Monkey, about Wukong's costume props, China has long been able to play tricks and draw inferences. And Wang Qinian's plan is the most fashionable shape in Sun Wukong.

Over the years, the dress of Monkey King in film and television works is roughly the same - golden crown, golden armor, holding a golden hoop stick, and a fashionable dress, making his grandson the idol of many children's childhood!

And the equipment of the Great Sage in "Journey to the West: The Great Sage" is obviously more fashionable than the previous Great Sage, and the fashion value has been updated for several generations!

Wang Qinian asked Li Xie to try on a few sets of clothes, let him learn monkey form, and made him strip naked, with monkey hair sticky on his body, and put on a great sage's costume and band saw.

"Play it, Great Sage!" Wang Qinian said.

Then, Li Xie chased Wang Qinian with the "golden hoop stick": "Monster, where to escape!" ”

"I'm a director! You splash monkey, dare to rebel against the sky, the director dares to fight! Wang Qinian fled again and again.

"Director, what kind of monster is this?" Li Xie then dressed up as a splashing monkey to sprinkle the opportunity.

If it is said that Li Jiepo's demeanor is a bit similar, Wang Qinian feels satisfied.

The two billion-dollar box office "Journey to the West" films in later generations, Donnie Yen's "Havoc in Heaven" was too fake and brain-dead, and the whole film looked like a farce.

Although Stephen Chow's "Journey to the West: Demon Conquering Chapter" is good and subversive enough, Sun Wukong was hacked too much and completely became a terrible man-eating demon.

The image of Wukong requested by Wang Qinian is different from both!
