Chapter 120: A $70 million production
Han Sanping's efficiency is surprisingly high.
"We strongly advocate this kind of project, and the Space Administration and Aviation Science and Industry have also helped you ask, and can provide necessary technical help and personnel support for the film......
In this way, Lin Nan followed Han Sanping to the Film Bureau, and then the Space Bureau, and Aviation Science and Industry.
There is no turning back from the bow, and the next step is to look at the budget issue with a professional team.
Hangke promised to provide a team of 20 people for the film project, responsible for the design and technical support of a series of props, and could start work at any time, which was a green light.
Han Sanping leaned back in his chair and discussed the issue of funds with Lin Nan.
The budget is made by Lin Nan's team and the China Film team, and the staff has expanded very rapidly in the past few months, and all functional departments are recruiting.
Han Sanping was determined to invest, after all, he provided so much help.
"When the budget comes out, let's talk about investment, to be honest, even if it is filmed, it won't take long, and the time will be spent on pre-preparation, scene construction and long post-production."
Lin Nan paused and looked at Han Sanping, "Mr. Han, this movie is going to be made, and we have to be mentally prepared for the release in a year or two." ”
"Hehe, it's natural. Listen to me this time, before the budget comes out, you must keep it secret. ”
Lin Nan shook his head, Han Sanping still has these thoughts on his mind, after "Wuji", China Film's big investment is estimated to be very strict.
"Mr. Han, for this kind of thing, it's better to pull a few more families to share the risk."
Lin Nan suggested that the return pressure of large-scale productions will be relatively great.
Han Sanping, who was originally smiling, also put away his smiling face and fell into thought.
The Hundred Flowers Award contacted Lin Nan again, and this time he gave a clear answer, the schedule is arranged, and he can't go, and "Time and Space Cruise" does not participate in the selection.
The messy award ceremony, what if it goes, since the last Golden Rooster, Lin Nan suddenly figured it out, and when he was not too sure about winning the award, he didn't go to the excitement to carry the sedan chair for others.
The news that "Time and Space Cruise" declined the Hundred Flowers Award is not a trivial matter, this is the highest-grossing domestic film since "Hero", and Lin Nan is the only member of the 200 million club.
After making it clear that Lin Nan would not come, the Hundred Flowers Award began to be shortlisted.
is different from Lin Nan's confidential new film, on the other hand, Zhou Xingchi's new movie has been promoted, an alien-themed family film, and the new star girl is also a good one.
It's just that Huang Shengyi's operation of signing the new company is a bit of a smuggler, the lawsuit has not been judged, and the contract has not been terminated, so it is just done, and the media is also happy to watch the excitement.
Lin Nan was at home, trying to recall the shadows in the deepest part of his mind, the fragments in The Martian, and the sketches, which could be used as a reference for the team of aviation science and engineering.
Tired of painting, Lin Nan went to find Liu Yifei, but the nanny said that their mother and daughter were not there, and they were in a hurry when they left.
This made Lin Nan very surprised, what kind of thing would make Liu's mother, who has always been dignified, hurry.
An hour ago, Liu Xiaoli received a phone call, which was an audition invitation, and Wang Zhonglei from Huayi personally called.
In the suburban manor, Liu Xiaoli took her daughter and assistant to meet Wang Zhonglei of Huayi, as well as many staff.
"Mr. Wang, what kind of film is it, you only said that it was a big production that was co-produced, but you didn't reveal any information." Liu Xiaoli asked.
"Ms. Liu, Yifei, don't worry." Wang Zhonglei kept a smile.
"This is an action movie, with a top Asian lineup, co-produced by China and the United States. We are also optimistic about Yifei, so we called you and invited you to audition. ”
"How long will it take?" Liu Xiaoli asked.
"The audition for the female role will last for half a year, and the whole of Asia will be selected, and one or two auditions will not be decided......"
That's right, Liu Xiaoli knew that the question she just had was stupid.
Liu Yifei glanced around, and she didn't know what she was going to audition for.
"Come with me, don't go over the assistant."
……
Lin Nan wanted to make a phone call and ask, but in the end he endured it, in case there was really something serious.
Liu Yifei was auditioning, and Wang Zhonglei and Liu Xiaoli were waiting outside.
"For this movie, the production cost we plan to produce is 70 million US dollars, and in China, it is more than 500 million, and Huayi is the domestic investor, this kind of movie can be more attractive to actors than science fiction films like "Adventure in the Center of the Earth", and ......"
Wang Zhonglei said slowly.
Liu Xiaoli nodded and did not speak.
"Yifei auditioned for the female lead, and this play is a double male lead, and Li Lianjie has been determined to be one of the leading actors, and is contacting Cheng Long to play another male lead......"
Liu Xiaoli didn't wait for Wang Zhonglei to finish speaking, her eyes widened.
"Yifei is just one of the actors auditioning, and Ms. Liu and Yifei need to keep the crew confidential."
"Okay, I understand these common senses, but, Mr. Wang, I don't know what the probability of Yifei is to succeed?" Liu Xiaoli asked eagerly.
"I don't know, it depends on the director's choice, such a large product cost is not allowed to be sloppy."
Liu Xiaoli only had those words left in her mind at this time: more than 500 million, Li Lianjie, Cheng Long, and Sino-US co-production.
After a while, Liu Yifei walked out with a smile on her face.
"Sissi, how's it going?" Liu Xiaoli hurriedly asked.
"The director thinks my martial arts performance is very good." Liu Yifei said.
"Martial arts?"
Liu Xiaoli remembered that Wang Zhonglei said just now that he was indeed talking about action movies, plus Li Lianjie and Cheng Long, she was relieved.
"Then Mr. Wang, let's leave first."
"Okay, please."
Liu Xiaoli pulled her daughter and went out.
Wang Zhonglei walked into the audition place, "Director Minkoff, how was that girl's audition?" ”
A foreigner said happily: "She has a kung fu foundation, she is very good, the Chinese kung fu she just performed is very beautiful, I think I can let her continue to participate in the later auditions, I look forward to her going to the end." ”
This answer gave Wang Zhonglei an idea.
Minkoff's team invited Liu Yifei by name, if Liu Yifei can audition to the end and really get the role, he can tell Liu Xiaoli that this is Huayi's strength.
Even if you can't get the protagonist, with Minkoff's recognition, the female supporting role should be no problem, and when the time comes, Huayi and Liu Xiaoli will be docking, it can still be said that this is Huayi's help, and the certainty of signing Liu Yifei is very great.
Since "Dragon Babu", he has been communicating with Liu Xiaoli, but in the past few years, he has not received Liu Yifei's economic contract, and now the latter is the most popular new generation actress, Hua Yi is even more greedy.
"Sissi, just now Mr. Wang said that the audition for this drama also needs to be kept secret."
"Well, just now, the director also reminded me that the invitation to audition needs to be kept secret, and the casting will be made public after a while."
Liu Yifei nodded and said, a little hesitant, "Can't you say it to Lin Nan?" ”
Liu Xiaoli looked at her daughter's frowning appearance, a little speechless, she didn't leave Lin Nan for a word, and sooner or later she would suffer.
She held her daughter's face, "When the casting is made public, won't we all know." ”
"Well, okay."
Liu Yifei said reluctantly, she still wanted to talk to Lin Nan about it.
The team of Aviation Science and Industry got Lin Nan's script, requirements and some sketches, and began to enter the design process.
For the rover, the habitation module, the spacesuit, the alien surface overalls, the rocket, the space station, etc., the team began to design film and television, removing the elements that do not conform to the film in reality, and retaining some scientific principles.
Tom didn't expect Lin Nan to really do this scene by himself, and in the post-production special effects, his suggestion was to find a new line or Lionsgate if he was in a hurry.
If you are not in a hurry, you can take part of it for the team of Crystal Film and Television, and pack the rest out.
It's better to keep a portion for Crystal Pictures.
That is, the company team is not large, which may affect efficiency, otherwise Tom recommends doing it all by himself.
Lin Nan is a persuasive person, and thinks that this idea is good, and the recruitment of Crystal Film and Television cannot be stopped.
The Geological Research Institute is also highly efficient, providing Lin Nan with a lot of real shooting locations to choose from.
Among them, Lin Nan recommended the Hongya area, and attached detailed geological information.
didn't read those materials, only saw a name, and Lin Nan believed it.
"Red Cliff Danxia Landform!"
Wasn't the first Mars simulation base in China built here in my last life?
At this moment, Lin Nan decided on the location of the actual shooting, and only waited for the budget team to come up with the results, and then he could start raising funds and start the project.
As soon as Kang Honglei's "Soldier Assault" was cut, several TV stations came to him, completely for Lin Nan's reputation.
"How much does a single episode cost?"
"Twenty thousand, your name needs to be hung in the producer's column." Yue Jun said.
"Hehe, more than three thousand. If you don't sell it, the dog's bloody ethical drama will be four or five hundred thousand yuan per episode, and I'll talk about it after the potato is released. ”
In my memory, "Soldier Assault" at that time was really miserable, and I was in a hurry to sell the film after filming, but the TV station's judgment criteria were: whether there are big names, whether the director is a famous director, whether the script is well-known, and whether the plot is bloody or not.
"Soldier Assault" was not touched, and the last 3,000 yuan was sold for an episode, and in this way, the word-of-mouth exploded well, and it was actually owed nearly half of the final payment by dozens of TV stations.
"Okay, I'll turn them down."
Yue Jun is also simply, he knows Lin Nan's anger, he has also watched this TV series, it is absolutely high-quality, just wait for the reputation of the potato side to come up, and he doesn't have to worry about the TV station not bidding.
Not long after Yue Jun rejected those TV stations, Wang Changtian's call came.
"20,000 is indeed a bit of a leak, it's still the same sentence, do you want to help me push it for you, I still have this face, military drama, it's still no problem to give you a tenfold increase......"
"I signed with Tudou Video, and I'm going to go directly to the online platform and share the click-through rate into ......"
Lin Nan said that only his own company and Tudou knew about this matter.
"Then you are really bold enough, this novel way, not many production companies dare to try......"
Wang Changtian was a little nagging today, and Lin Nan felt that something was wrong.
"Brother, if you have something to say, we didn't just know each other." Lin Nan said with a smile.
"Haha, I can't hide it from you, I'll tell my brother about that project."
Nothing to be courteous or a thief, Lin Nan can be regarded as a realization.
"How do you know? Mr. Han is still clamoring for secrecy? Lin Nan simply said.
"There are a few acquaintances on the space agency's side......"
Wang Changtian clicked, and Lin Nan understood.
"I'm still making a budget, this time the investment may be a bit big, and when it comes out, I'll notify my brother, don't spread it anymore, save trouble."
Lin Nan reminded.
"Okay, with your words, my brother will rest assured, and I will never talk too much."
