Chapter 54: Big Surprise
After a morning of studying the script, a relatively hearty lunch was brought to the hotel.
Director Zhang said half-jokingly and half-seriously:
"This may be a rare meal for everyone during this time, and everyone should cherish it."
These words caused everyone present to cry and laugh, but everyone can also understand the meaning behind Director Zhang's words, it is true that everyone will become extremely busy after the start of the group, and many times they need to race against time, not every meal can be delivered on time, and not every restaurant has time to eat. Sugisawa Hai has chronic gastroenteritis in his stomach because of the group, but recently it may be that his work and rest are more regular, or Sugisawa Hai's body has obviously improved a lot after systematic transformation, and there are few stomach pains recently.
But stomach pain is the occupational disease of most film and television people, and there is no way to do it, many times you will miss a meal without paying attention, or you can't be busy with the work in your hands, and you don't have time to eat at all, this is a very real problem, as a film and television person, there is no way to avoid it, and good works sometimes need to race against time to achieve.
Sometimes a shot needs to be reshot countless times, and if it is interrupted at this time, the actor's "qi" may not be there, and it is very likely that the mood will not reach such a level after the interruption. Sometimes it's about light, and the natural light shot may only be as good as the director expects for a few hours in a day, and sometimes it will coincide with the meal.
After lunch, the crowd began to explain their opinions.
The producer first reported all the budgets, The overall budget of this movie is 270 million Chinese yuan, this figure really makes Sugisawa a little frightened, when he made up with Bai Daxing's movie, he still made up Bai Daxing directly according to the design drawings, and he didn't need to participate in the process of the production meeting, he also did more dramas in college, and the cost of the drama was generally much lower than the cost of the movie, but Sugisawa still had a rough idea of the shooting cost of a movie, but this time he still underestimated Director Zhang Da's determination for this movie.
While the production teacher was talking, Director Zhang Da's mobile phone was called in. Originally, he would hang up the phone directly on this occasion, but Director Zhang Da picked up the phone after hesitating for two seconds after seeing the caller clearly.
Director Zhang was silent when he was on the phone, so the voice on the other end of the phone also faintly reached everyone's ears.
"Director Zhang, I heard that you are preparing to make a new movie."
"Haha, Cai Dong has nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, are you going to invest some money in me."
"Haha, I like your directness, you have a friend of my baby daughter in your group, and I inquired about it, it is indeed a big movie worth investing in, and I am ready to invest 100 million yuan. And my baby daughter told me to invest more money in the character modeling, otherwise he will be angry with the old man again. ”
Director Zhang glanced at Sugisawa and said:
"Haha, don't worry, we originally planned to spend a lot of money on this piece, and our budget will be more adequate after your money, and I will ask the secretary to send it to you later." Thank you so much. ”
Sugisawa didn't even have to think about it, but Sugzawa didn't expect that Cai Yi's family would be so rich, and it was an investment of 100 million yuan directly. But Sugisawa can also be sure that Cai Yi's father also made a decision after careful consideration, and businessmen, especially such a business giant, will not be able to do a business that has a high probability of making them lose money, so it can be seen that Cai Yi's father is also very optimistic about such a film and television drama, and thinks that it is very profitable.
Director Zhang Da spoke again:
"Everyone has heard it, our investment has increased by another 100 million, so there is more room for error in our production, which can also ensure the quality of the film, don't let down this expectation."
After finishing speaking, he glanced at Sugisawa with some appreciation, and in this group, the main creative group is only responsible for the character modeling, and it is obvious that this investment also has a great credit to Sugisawa Hai, otherwise it is rare not to go to the other party to invest in the things that he sent the investment over, and even if he sent the investment, he would not pay so much at one time.
This kind of big investment requires long-term cooperation, or it is only possible when it can really poke the other party's heart, and more than half of their current 270 million is paid by Director Zhang himself, and the rest is the investment money.
Sugisawa was a little worried at first whether he had inadvertently leaked the secret, or whether he would be considered by the director that he had leaked the secret, but after thinking about it for a while, Cai Yi's father, as a business tycoon, wanted to know that the group he was with was still a very easy thing, and after seeing Director Zhang's smile on him, Sugisawa completely relieved himself.
In fact, at this moment, Director Zhang Da regards Sugisawa Sea as the son-in-law identified by Cai Yi's father Cai Shanhe, and such a cash cow is in his crew, and Director Zhang Da is still very happy to see it.
And he also learned about Sugisawa Hai's information, such a boy born in a professional class is indeed very capable, looking at some of his design drawings can often poke people's hearts, his experience in the film and television industry is also known to Director Zhang Da, this young man is also very backbone, who will not like such a talent.
Back to the topic, this time the cost of the character modeling assigned to Sugisawa Hai was as high as 60 million, almost more than half of the investment given by Cai Yi's father, and no one present had any opinions, after all, such a large investment did have a lot to do with Sugisawa Hai, and the financier also named him to give a large investment in character modeling.
This investment is enough for Sugisawa to realize many ideas, and many ideas cannot be realized if it is a small budget, but such a huge amount of money is enough for Sugisawa to implement his ideas.
Sugisawa can only say that he sighs in his heart, it's good to be rich.
After the producer, stage art, and lighting expounded their ideas, it was Sugisawa's turn to explain his views on the character modeling, Sugisawa did not have the nervousness he expected, perhaps because he had experienced too much life and death, and these were nothing in front of him, so he flipped the script in his hand and began to analyze his thoughts on the modeling of these characters.
