Chapter 195 Budget and Funding Gaps
Luo Mo was busy with the negotiation with the company in the evening, and then started martial arts training in a relatively large practice room of the company. At this time, Yang Zhenshen is still Luo Mo's training teacher, and he has also seen a lot of progress in Luo Mo recently, and he is indeed a very talented, talented, and hard-working young man.
"Quick! Faster! Even faster! At this time, Yang Zhenshen has been watching Luo Mo's training, at this time Luo Mo is training equipment, and today he is training a sword.
The sword is the king of a hundred soldiers, but to be honest, the sword is not easy to use, and it is not so simple to want to hit people, and it is rumored that an inch is long and an inch is strong, which is not unreasonable.
It is not easy for the sword to really hit people, and it is also a loss to other weapons, otherwise in the long history of cold weapon warfare in ancient China, there would never have been a record of large-scale use of swords by the army. But in film and television performances, the sword is a common weapon, and the sword usually represents elegant, light, and handsome!
In the filming of "Painted Skin", Luo Mo has already tasted the benefits of martial arts training, and of course he will not relax his training at this time, especially the equipment and physical fitness.
"What is the sword used for? Used to stab! When you stab out, be quick! Be steady! Be accurate! Be ruthless! Yang Zhenshen put forward many requirements at once, and Luo Mo sweated profusely to implement them.
After that, I did some side flips...... This thing is quite dangerous, but with the guidance of a famous teacher, Luo Mo's training progress is not small, and now Yang Zhenshen can use a stick to carry Luo Mo to do a side flip.
More than three hours of training time passed, and when he was not teaching, Yang Zhenshen was much more polite to Luo Mo, and the two of them were also equals.
Today's martial arts training was finally completed here at Luo Mo, and when Luo Mo came out, it was already night. He was just about to find Dong Chenggang to come over, and at this moment Zhou Sichao's call happened to come.
"Old Zhou?" Luo Mo said hello to the phone as he walked towards the parking place.
"Mo." Zhou Sichao said on the other end of the phone: "That's the case, Sister Li, let me inform you, now the crew needs to find all the people from your school, and the crew is all matched!" Also, as a producer, executive director, assistant director and other positions, Xie Dong and his assistant have now roughly made the budget! The budget report is now here, would you like to come and have a look? ”
Luo Mo nodded suddenly, this matter ...... It can be said that Luo Mo is really irresponsible, after putting up the shelves of the crew, he himself was busy with other things.
However, it can't be said that he didn't do anything, but Luo Mo also found some miscellaneous interns from his school......
Xie Dong was relatively unlucky, he was persuaded by Luo Mo to pull the strong man only to know that he had gotten on the thief ship - paralysis! Luo Mo, a slut, let him wear many hats in the crew, which sounds awesome, but in fact, he gave him all the trivial chores!
But who made Xie Dong a professional?
What's more, Xie Dong rarely has the opportunity to do so freely, although he is mainly an executor, but even as an executor, it is very good to make a movie in its entirety.
The position of producer is actually used to monitor the crew's money and many other things...... However, the situation of each crew is different, and the work that needs to be done for each position is also different. For example, Zhang Jizhong said that he was a producer, but he also did the work of a director, while Yu Zhen said that he was a screenwriter...... But he's also doing the director's job!
Xie Dong's producer is mainly to give him an identity...... In fact, Luo Mo and the others are now striving to use Huayi's boss Wang Zhongjun or Wang Zhonglei as the producer, and then give them the identity of a producer, which is also to make the movie smooth in many things such as film scheduling. However, Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei seem to be still thinking about whether to be tied to the chariot of "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" by Luo Mo, so they are still hesitating.
And Xie Dong's real identity now is actually a high-level coolie working under Luo Mo.
Xie Dong's ability is really not covered, a huge crew, he has begun to bring it up now, and he also has several assistants, some of these assistants are his friends, some are from Huayi, and with the help of such a large number of assistants, and under Xie Dong's coordination, issues such as the set of the movie have also begun to be gradually implemented.
With that, the first budget statement is out!
"Then I'll see tomorrow." Luo Mo thought that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, and he had other things to do today, so he would solve some more things the next day.
The next day, at Luo Mo's house, Zhou Sichao and Xie Dong came, and the budget was also on Luo Mo's head...... It's just that when he saw the budget on the table, he suddenly had a little headache!
Because, this first budget is 4.6 million!
"This is the first time that the budget has been ...... However, in practice, it is still necessary to be prepared to count more. Xie Dong said very experiencedly: "The plan can't keep up with the changes, there are not many movies and TV series that can really come strictly according to the budget, most of them may overspend, only a small part can maintain the original state, and the smaller part spends less money." These budgets were calculated by Xie Dong, his assistants, and the newly recruited accountant of the crew.
Luo Mo nodded, since this budget has been placed in front of him, he must have gone through his own arguments, and it is useless for him to say more now.
So, Luo Mo asked Zhou Sichao: "Old Zhou...... How much money do I have now? ”
Luo Mo's income is now mainly managed by Zhou Sichao...... Of course, maybe there will be a trust problem in this way...... But to be honest, Luo Mo is now so busy that he doesn't touch the ground, and he doesn't have time to manage his finances, of course, he needs a special person.
Zhou Sichao had already prepared: "Three million eight hundred and eighty thousand! ”
Luo Mo's brows furrowed, he already felt that he didn't have four million and six hundred thousand ...... Sure enough, when I heard this, I really didn't have 4.6 million.
"The situation is a bit grim!" Now Xie Dong has gradually replaced himself with a person in the crew, and he often considers problems from the perspective of the crew.
Indeed, there is a gap of at least 800,000 in between!
However, Zhou Sichao immediately added: "Although the cash is not enough...... But this month, there will be a lot of endorsement fees stipulated in the contract, and the last batch of salaries for "My Leader, My Group" will also come down, and you have a new endorsement, Sister Li has already agreed to it, this endorsement is two million and eight hundred thousand in two years, and there will be some of the first batch of funds here. Zhou Sichao said in detail......
Now Luo Mo's endorsement worth has approached three million in the past two years, and the soaring speed of this value is still very impressive. From the perspective of endorsement fees alone, five million for two years is already the endorsement price of first-line stars, after all, even if they are Cheng Long, the endorsement fee for two years is only 10 million for two years.
"When all the money is in place." Zhou Sichao paused, and then said: "Basically, you can fill the gap of 800,000!" ”
"It's fine." Luo Mo breathed a sigh of relief...... But even so, he still blocked almost all his hopes after his official debut on his own movie, which in the eyes of others is really a very courageous act.
"Anyway, our film doesn't have to invest 4.6 million yuan all at once, and the start-up capital will not be so high." Xie Dong comforted Luo Mo on the side: "So our money is enough." ”
Luo Mo nodded: "As long as I can make the movie I imagined, it's worth it!" But now that the crew has finally been set up, this time, you have worked hard! ”
"It's not hard."
"It's okay." The two of them said this, but in fact, they secretly slandered in their hearts - Luo Mo is a hands-off shopkeeper! But the two of them just thought about it in their hearts, in fact, it feels very good to really do something like this.
Then, Luo Mo said: "Lao Xie, how are the camera crew looking now?" ”
"It's almost, but after all, videography is a very delicate job, and they are closely related to the quality of the same movie, so your school classmates are not looking for ...... This is a delay, and there may be one or two more vacancies. "Xie Dong is very proficient in these things, and it can be said that he keeps them in mind.
"I know what to do...... Luo Mo thought for a moment, and then said: "That's the case, I have a candidate here, and I plan to let him be a cameraman...... Well, I'm going to give him the position of deputy head of the camera crew......"
"Who?" Xie Dong asked.
"It's a relative of mine......" Luo Mo was worried that they would feel that they were nepotistic and difficult to convince the public, so he hurriedly said: "It's a cousin of mine, but he graduated from Jiangnan University of Media and Communication, and his work is still very solid." ”
After Luo Mo said this, he looked at Xie Dong with a little caution, but Xie Dong not only did not show any angry expression, but was very usual: "This is a trivial matter!" Let the camera crew's Lao Han inspect him at that time and take him well...... Bring him out. Xie Dong quickly understood what Luo Mo meant.
Luo Mo did know that although his cousin Zhong Dajun graduated from Jiangnan University of Media and Communication, his theoretical foundation was okay, but in real operation, he still lacked enough practical experience. It is also a good thing to be able to learn from the camera team leader, Han Guang, the cameraman who has filmed a lot of films in Huayi.
Xie Dong didn't think anything ...... This kind of thing is normal to promote relatives, not to mention that his relatives are also graduates of Jiangnan University of Communication and Communication, so there must be a hand.
Then Luo Mo talked to Xie Dong and them about the details, the time was already more than one o'clock in the morning, Luo Mo hurriedly invited them to have supper, and after eating, they went back to their respective homes to find their mothers, and they didn't say anything all night.
The next day, after Luo Mo got up, he dialed Zhou Xun's phone, and he wanted Zhou Xun to play a cameo role. Of course, it's just a cameo, and this kind of cameo, if it's strictly regulated, can't even put the actor on the starring list - so as not to cause the person who made the cameo to feel that he was using his hype to misunderstand, and then there was disgust.
Although it is said that when looking for actors to perform, they usually find an agent, so that they are in line with the rules, but for this kind of trivial matter of cameos, it is more cordial and easier to do things directly to myself.
