Chapter 0529 - Funding Gap
Zhao Chengwen actually noticed that Han Lan, the kid, played the best in two ways.
One is when eating; There are also times when you are near death or injured.
The former makes people look greedy, and the latter makes people worry about it.
It's all out of the best of the day.
In the monitor screen, Han Lan suddenly woke up from a nightmare, opened his eyes suddenly, and the "black short stick" also flew over and landed in front of him with the help of the green staff at the scene.
Han Lan grabbed the black short stick and stabbed it backwards with the last bit of strength.
The vampire actor lying behind him shuddered, his eyes widening.
Wia quickly lowered it, simulating the two of them falling from mid-air.
The boom followed the camera all the way, and the props team also remotely opened the mechanism on the vampire actor's body, and the filling on his forehead began to be drained, and the camera captured him being sucked dry.
Of course, the actor himself was there, and it was impossible to really suck it dry, but a short shot was taken, and after the two landed, the props team immediately came up with a prop corpse to replace the actor, completing the whole process of Zhang Xiaofan's counter-killing of vampires.
After killing the vampire, there are still two demons to deal with in the back, plus some of the scenes of Qi Hao, Lu Xueqi, and Zeng Shushu, as well as the last four people chasing the demon sect demons and continuing to go deeper. And after they chased to the Necromantic Abyss, it was another big battle.
This kind of compact action shot is quite difficult even for Zhao Xueting, a small actor who has debuted for many years. After all, it is still popular in China now, and there are rarely so many thrilling actions.
For example, in order to shoot Lu Xueqi's heroic posture in the movie, Zhao Xueting will hang the Weiya Dancing Sword upside down next, which is actually very difficult for an actress with a literary background.
The whole person hung upside down on Weiya, and after a few minutes of shooting, his face turned red because of congestion.
In addition, there are all kinds of hits against the wall and various falls, not to mention Zhao Xueting, the other two actors all fell and bared their teeth secretly. Although the ground is a softly treated green screen, and although they are wearing protective gear under their clothes, they can only guarantee that they will not be injured, and it still hurts to fall!
In fact, before they auditioned, they thought that Xianxia movies were the kind of standing and handsome and waving a sword, but they didn't expect that there would be so many actions.
But from another point of view, it's also a rare experience.
After all, not all actors have the opportunity to shoot this kind of action scene.
……
……
"The filming process was much slower than planned." While resting, Han Lan couldn't help but sigh.
"There's no way, there are too many plays, let alone these students, it's a challenge for many professional actors. I estimate that the filming period will be extended by a month or even more likely to drag on for two months. Zhao Chengwen handed him a bottle of mineral water, and he also drank a bottle and sat down next to him.
The producer sent by Tomahawk Entertainment to manage the money also sat down on the other side of Han Lan: "Han Shuai, extend the filming cycle by two months, I'm afraid our funds will be tight." ”
Han Lan looked at the two people on the left and right, one mentioned the time with him, and the other continued to mention the money with him, and he didn't know if it had been discussed in advance.
"Isn't the salary of students relatively low? Isn't the savings enough to make up for it? Han Lan asked.
The producer shook his head: "It's impossible to fill it, otherwise how can it be our turn to be the first to eat crabs?" If the filming period is extended by two months, there will be a shortage of at least 50 million. ”
Han Lan frowned, but she also guessed how this gap came about.
Makeup and props!
The extra two months of shooting meant that many sets of shots needed to be reshot, and the loss of makeup and props was skyrocketing. A lot of makeup and props are disposable, and if you fail to shoot once, you have to use a new one for a new shot.
If it weren't for the low salaries of the students, the gap would have been even bigger if they had saved a sum of money to fill some of it!
"Let's go through the process and submit an application to the investor." Han Lan waved his hand.
The two of them nodded and said nothing more.
The investor, in fact, is Tomahawk Entertainment.
Although it is a family, after all, it is a regular company, and many processes still have to be followed, and it is impossible for Han Lan to call with a mouthful of money.
If you add another 50 million investment, the total investment of this drama will be 700 million!
Even in the Beacon Nation movie mecca, this is a big investment!
"Sister Qiaorui, help me write down this account, go back and free my hands, and find those companies to calculate it well!"
"Good!" Fang Qiaorui smiled and took out a small notebook, and added the names of several film companies that had surrounded and suppressed them before to an account of 50 million.
If it weren't for this group of soulless souls to make things difficult for them, this drama would be more than enough for 650 million to be filmed, and it is estimated that it will be ready to be filmed now.
……
……
Tomahawk Entertainment has invested in a total of four movies this year, "Angel Angela" is still in theaters, and the box office has not yet settled; "Jingwu Chen Zhen" has just been completed, and it is still in post-production, and it also cannot recover the box office; Not to mention the rest of "Zhuxian 1" and "A Chinese Ghost Story", they are all masters who reach out for money.
The sum of the four movies has already gone to two billion, don't look at the previous Tomahawk Entertainment's movies are billions of box office every time, but after dividing the account and deducting the shooting cost and distribution cost, it will actually make almost two or three billion.
If it weren't for the support of several blockbuster films at the box office last year, the investment in these four blockbusters this year would have directly dragged Tomahawk Entertainment down.
But even so, Tomahawk Entertainment's funds are indeed a little tight now.
After all, they have been expanding their team for the past two years, and their business is not just about movies.
On the men's and women's groups, the new album is currently selling well and has not lost money, but it is still the same problem, the album is still selling, and the money cannot be recovered.
is the variety show of the Tomahawk Brothers, and the copyright fees of each platform are about to arrive, which can alleviate some financial pressure. But it was followed by their new album investment, and another amount of money was going out.
Coupled with the fact that so many departments of the company itself are asking for money, Tomahawk Entertainment finally found that they can't afford to invest 50 million more now.
After all, the 50 million is not in the budget, and if it weren't for the encirclement and suppression of several major film companies, they wouldn't need to spend such a sum of money. In fact, the movie "A Chinese Ghost Story" was also an accident, which occupied Tomahawk Entertainment's emergency budget this year.
"Mr. Han, the bank can't get a loan."
"What's going on? Our credit history is fine, right? ”
"It is said that the international financial market has been turbulent recently, and many companies need loans, and they need to give priority to the real industry."
"There are so many banks, can't you take out 50 million?"
"It is said that it is a special period, and every money must be used on the blade." The assistant was also a little helpless.
To put it bluntly, there is money, but it can't be given.
No matter how big Tomahawk Entertainment is, it is useless, after all, it is an entertainment industry, and its importance is not as important as those new and old industries.
It is still necessary to distinguish between the important and the important.
Han Yiping also understood this truth, waved his hand and said nothing more.
"Mr. Han, just now several major film companies called again and asked if we need to invest?" The assistant reported again.
Han Yiping's face became gloomy.
