Chapter Seventy-Seven: In Full Swing

On September 15, in a spacious studio in Yanjing.

The inverted ship in the movie will be realistically produced here, because it is necessary to take into account the exterior and interior scenes of the entire ship, and the amount of work can be imagined.

So even if Fang Bo found an experienced art and scenery team through Huarui Film and Television's connections, he was willing to add money and let them work overtime to produce, but it would still take months to finally complete it.

Now, the studio is just a flat area in the middle, surrounded by piles of materials used in production.

In order to let the set team make a big ship that meets their expectations as much as possible, Fang Bo has never left the studio these days, and has been communicating with them every day about production.

"Director Fang, according to your requirements, we have made the renderings, do you think there are any other things that need to be changed?"

On this morning, the person in charge of the scenery team handed over to Fang Bo with a stack of drawings, including the overall concept of the exterior of the big ship, as well as the floor plan of each room inside the big ship.

These drawings were consulted by the staff of the scenery team, which not only combined the concept of Fang Bo, but also used a number of real stranded and wrecked ships as references for drawing.

In order to start the actual construction work as soon as possible, they were busy for several days before they made the renderings, and then handed them over to Fang Bo as soon as possible, as long as Fang Bo could nod his head in approval, he could build according to the drawings.

"Okay, I'll take a look first." After getting the drawings, Fang Bo carefully looked at them one by one.

"The rust on the outside of the big ship doesn't feel right, try adding a little more dark red."

"The pipelines here are too dense, and when the time comes, it will affect the perception in the picture."

"This room is too empty, it needs to be furnished a little more."

“……”

Fang Bo pointed out the problem while looking at the drawings.

"Director Fang, I've written it down, I'll ask them to change it again." It wasn't until all the drawings were read that the person in charge of the scenery team finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Although there are many problems, fortunately, they are all small faults in the details, and a little adjustment will not delay a lot of time.

Fang Bo handed the drawings back to him, "Well, I've been here for the past few days, and we can discuss it at any time, and strive to solve it as soon as possible and start work as soon as possible." ”

The person in charge left with the drawings, and as soon as Fang Bo got up and stretched, the phone rang.

It was Feng Shuming who called.

"Hey, Producer Feng." Fang Bo picked up the phone.

"Director Fang, good news!" Feng Shuming said happily: "The advertising matter has been negotiated, and the other party is willing to bid 1.3 million, requiring that their company's trademark appear on camera for at least 2 seconds, and mobile phone products must also have a complete lens display." ”

Advertising placement has always been a good way for commercial films to recover costs, and "A Good Show" will naturally be no exception.

After the film project was established in August, Fang Bo made a list of the types and durations of advertisements that could be implanted, and then Feng Shuming contacted those interested companies one by one according to this list.

After nearly a month, 5 advertisements were finally negotiated, and the advertising placement of this mobile phone brand, Feng Shuming has been talking with the other party for several days, and today he finally signed the contract, no wonder he is so happy.

"It's not easy, it's finally negotiated." Fang Bo's face showed a touch of joy.

These days, he is scratching his head for the matter of funds, and the 1.3 million mobile phone advertisements are somewhat more generous.

Prior to this, Fang Bo had only filmed a small-budget "Night Club", and he was inevitably a little unprepared for a 10-million-level movie.

He estimated the production cost of "A Good Show" at 35 million, but when it came to the preparation stage, he found that there were too many places to spend money.

Although the cost was kept down as much as possible, the three parts of the island shooting, studio setting, and special effects did burn money.

Fortunately, the Chinese film industry in this world is huge, and the special effects production technology is quite developed, and the special effects pictures with the same effect are cheaper and better than in the previous life, otherwise the production cost of 35 million may not be enough.

But even so, the funds for the movie are tight, and it is enough to save a little, but it is not the same thing to save it, you can't let go of it when you shoot, in case there is a slight problem in the back, you will have to overspend.

So Fang Bo was thinking about how to solve it these days, Feng Shuming negotiated a contract of 1.3 million at this time, and counting a few other advertisements, he could have an income of nearly 5 million.

Fang Bo and Huarui Film and Television had agreed earlier that the income from advertising would be filled into the production cost, so with the 5 million, there was no need to worry about insufficient funds.

"Director Fang, it seems that it is still making money by selling mobile phones, it is really wealthy, I offered 1.8 million, I thought they would reduce the price to 1 million, but I didn't expect it to drop to 1.3 million, and they agreed." Feng Shuming said happily.

Fang Bo smiled: "This is also true. ”

In his heart, the quality of the movie must come first, so all the advertising placements in the movie are in line with the situation, and the appearance time is also strictly controlled, which will not affect the audience's viewing experience.

Because of this, other companies are unwilling to pay too much money, and the price of the other advertisements has not exceeded 1 million, only this mobile phone company has given the most money, which is indeed generous.

After finalizing the matter of advertising placement, there was no need to worry about funding, Fang Bo suddenly let go of his hands and feet, and the preparation of the film was accelerated again.

A few days later, the set team finished revising the drawings, and this time there were no problems, and the construction of the big ship began.

The crew's preparations are in full swing, and Huarui Film and Television is not idle.

Like "Night Club", the publicity and distribution cost of "A Good Show" will still be advanced by Huarui first, but this time the publicity and distribution funds are initially set at 15 million, which is a significant increase.

Since the funds are relatively sufficient, there is no need to wait for the surprise promotion before the release, and during the preparation and filming of the film, some pre-publicity can be carried out simultaneously.

So in mid-September, Huarui Film and Television gradually released the relevant information of the movie, wanting to let the audience leave an impression on "A Good Show" first.

The success of "Nightclub" has given Fang Bo some fame, and his new film has also caused a wave of popularity online.

It's just that everyone's focus quickly drifted off.

"Ah, I'm not mistaken, didn't this actor named Li Hao play "Dream Chaser", and Director Fang still dared to put him into the crew?"

"Fang Bo, this is used to making small-production movies to save money and save money, isn't it good to get paid more and find a reliable actor?"

"Li Hao's performance in "Dream Chaser" is too exaggerated, if I still act like that this time, I can't stand it anyway."

"Before filming starts, I suggest changing actors quickly."

"Director Fang won't float, why is there a problem with the casting?"

"The male lead actor of the movie is very good, I am familiar with it, I know that it is an acting school, but this Li Hao is not good, a little defeated."
