Today, as usual, Li Xianyun was coding words in the office.

Jiang Zheng came over, saw that he was still working hard, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You are the boss now, not a writer, so you can make a snack for the company." ”

He invested so much money, even if the big boss is open, he will inevitably be weak if he doesn't have to do it.

Li Xianyun hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, I'm almost done, I want to get this thing done." Besides, I'm not idle about the company. Here. ”

Saying that, Li Xianyun took out five notebooks from the drawer and handed them to Jiang Zheng: "The next shooting plan has been filed with the plan." ”

Jiang Zheng took the script: "Five books? Is it to pick one? ”

"No, it's all shot." Li Xianyun said.

"I'll go, you're not, aren't you?" Jiang Zheng was taken aback.

"Don't get me wrong, there's a difference." Li Xianyun explained to him with a smile.

Pointing to the first book called the Road of the Crazy Corpse, he said: "This is a zombie movie, with an investment cost of 10,000 yuan." ”

"Ten thousand?" Jiang Zheng was confused.

That's too little cost, right?

Li Xianyun nodded: "There are two reasons, one is to practice for me." ”

Hearing Li Xianyun say this, Jiang Zheng understood.

Yes, although he has already made a movie, Li Xianyun is still a newcomer in a sense, so he still needs the opportunity to continue to hone.

Jiang Zhengle said: "Then you don't need 10,000 yuan to save costs, right?" ”

"The second one is just for the gimmick." Li Xianyun said.

When he was in the original world, Li Xianyun was exposed to such a thing, and a major platform launched a big online movie, claiming that it was a production cost of 10,000 yuan.

Of course, the production cost of 10,000 yuan can't produce any good movies, and the key is that as a gimmick, it can really attract people.

Many people will want to see what a movie made of 10,000 yuan looks like.

And what Li Xianyun used this time was the 10,000 yuan book.

Speaking of which, the rebirth of the crossing is not without benefits, in addition to copying your own novels, you can also copy movies.

But don't think about big productions, like what Marvel series, quick series, the core key is not in the script, in the director, in the investment, in the big special effects, big pictures and big-name actors. Besides, there are similar movies here, and they are all copied in vain.

But the big network is different, and small productions rely on the plot.

For this 10,000 yuan investment movie, the script is okay, and the most important thing is that it conforms to the aesthetics of the platform - since the platform has selected this movie, it naturally meets their needs.

Li Xianyun doesn't need to change, he just needs to make it more refined - for Li Xianyun, this is his real practice!

After listening to Li Xianyun's explanation, Jiang Zheng understood: "Will the platform be willing to push?" ”

Li Xianyun spread his hands: "Then I don't know." ”

In the original world, this 10,000 yuan movie would have to wait a year before it came out, and Li Xianyun gave it out now, and he didn't know if the platform recognized it.

So he said, "Try it, it's only 10,000 yuan anyway." ”

"That's right." Jiang Zheng said with a smile: "C-level can earn thirty or fifty thousand." ”

That's right, the lowest rating given by the platform is C-level, no matter how you sell it, you can sell it for 50,000 yuan, as long as you have the ability to shoot below this cost, you will really make a profit and not lose money.

It's just that for most people, 50,000 yuan can't even build a team.

The investment of 10,000 yuan is not worth discussing, Li Xianyun said: "Then there is a set of haunted house series, which is called the ghost record, three consecutive shots." ”

"Three in a row?" Jiang Zheng didn't understand again, what kind of operation is this?

"It's a set of shots." Li Xianyun explained.

There are various ways to pit investors' money in the film and television industry, direct greed for money is the lowest, and the advanced method of pit money is set shooting.

To put it bluntly, it is to make two films with the money of one movie, and make my movie with your money.

However, the set shots in this case are generally bad movies, and they belong to how much they get.

Li Xianyun is a series of sets of the same theme, so there is no such situation, and it can greatly save resources.

First of all, the price of personnel and equipment is cheaper, basically two films are given for one and a half dollars, and time can be saved, and the two films are basically one and a half times, and vehicles, accommodation, and food can be saved.

Especially for set artists or something, the same set doesn't need to be redone.

The reason why Li Xianyun decided to set up these three films is because he had done these three films in the original world, and to put it bluntly, he still copied them.

He personally wrote the script, participated in the filming of the crew, watched how the director filmed, and watched them go online, so he knew where the good was and where the bad was.

The biggest advantage of re-editing the script into a trilogy is that Li Xianyun has mature experience and can do better.

After listening to Li Xianyun's explanation, knowing that he was not slacking off, Jiang Zheng was also very satisfied, and asked directly: "How much do you plan to invest in these three plans?" ”

"Eight million in total. I'm going to rush to the A grade! Li Xianyun replied.

According to Li Xianyun's plan, the eight million is the production fee plus the publicity fee, but it does not include ghost special effects, post-production, script, director, producer, and this part is also a major expenditure, but it belongs to its own resources, which greatly saves costs.

Therefore, his 8 million production investment, plus those own resources, is calculated by splitting three parts, and it is not too much to say that the production cost of 10 million is not too much.

As long as the work of the Internet University can be rated A, the box office of 10 million is not a big problem, and a seriously produced movie, the hope of 5 million investment to evaluate A is very great, or how to say that this is a huge profit?

100% return.

But the problem lies in the word "serious".

Sometimes the simpler the request, the harder it is!

The investment of five million is made into shit, and it is finally rated as a B, which is mostly going to lose money.

At this moment, Jiang Zheng looked at the final script: "What about this?" ”

"Hunting against time, costume ghosts and fairies." Li Xianyun replied.

Li Xianyun is talking about the costume fairy tale version of the time reincarnation drama that I talked to Sun Shi about last time, and that is also Li Xianyun's favorite book.

tells the story of an innkeeper named Jiang Xiangsheng, who coincided with the arrest of the thief Guan Jiushan in the city, and Guan Jiushan found that Jiang Xiangsheng was similar to his appearance, so he arrested Jiang Xiangsheng as a substitute and sent him to death, resulting in Jiang Xiangsheng's death. Then Jiang Xiangsheng woke up and found that he had entered the cycle of time, experiencing being arrested by thieves again and again, and finally with the help of the female catcher Qi Mingyue, he killed the mastermind behind the scenes, Qi Mingyue's father-in-law, the story of the local town guard, and finally there is a reversal, which is basically the triple boss of the thief, the town guard and the hidden mastermind.

This book didn't pass the review in the original world.,This time it's re-examined in this world.,The result passed.。

Jiang Zhengdao: "If you are in ancient costumes, the picture is even more exquisite, and besides, isn't the two ghosts enough?" ”

After Jiang Zheng read the script, he felt that the story was indeed quite exciting, and because it was a cycle of time, the scene was relatively fixed, and the venue investment did not need to be too large.

However, the requirements for artists in ancient costumes are relatively high, and Li Xianyun set up a decisive battle in the later stage, with a large number of ghosts and monsters participating, so Jin Gui and Zhang Yan are not enough.

"yes, a little less." Li Xianyun said sadly: "Xu Liangshan and Xiaoying are not suitable for playing ghosts, they can only play props. ”

There is an important prop about the reincarnation of time in the script, which is a small piece of broken jade, called Kunlun jade.

As long as the shadow is sent to a piece of jade pendant and flies around, the corresponding light and shadow effects will be available, and it will also save money on important props and corresponding special effects.

In addition, the influence of the corpse mountain and the sea of blood is also very effective in shaping the scene of the invasion of fierce ghosts.

It's a pity that it's so useful.

If only I hadn't made it so small in the first place.

Li Xianyun once tried to shoot the shadow from the soles of his feet if he could shoot him back, and the shadow said: Boss, don't toss me, if you shoot again, it will be really gone.

"And me!" Jiang Mengmeng waved and shouted.

"You can't, you can't be on camera." Jiang Zheng was busy patting his daughter's hand.

You're all on the news, and you can't cause an uproar when you appear on the screen again?

The key transfiguration spell allows you to only grow your strength without changing your face!

Li Xianyun said: "The ghosts and immortal arts are not very easy to do, and I am afraid that real special effects will be used in this part." ”

Jiang Zheng nodded: "That's fine, you can't have no special effects work at all." It's still appropriate to release some special effects work appropriately. ”

"The problem is that in this way, the proportion of special effects is smaller." Li Xianyun muttered.

The route designed by Jiang Zheng for him is to make money with big special effects, and for this reason, he also tries not to accept external investment.

But chasing this piece against time, Xu Liangshan and the few of them can save only about one million costs.

When the overall effect increases, the local effect decreases correspondingly, and even if the special effects of your ghosts can only be made for 50 million, they can only reflect the value of 1 million in this film.

At best, the audience shouts when they watch it: I rub, these ghosts are really realistic.

Such a cost advantage is not a number that can be profitable for rookie director Li Xianyun and Li Daboss.

The rookie director has always been a little unsupportive, so he put it in the last part.

"Alas, it would be nice if there was another director." Li Xianyun blurted out.

Jiang Zheng: "......"

Li Xianyun laughed: "Let's wait for the filming of the four films to make specific plans, and then the ghost battle in the secret room should also be launched, just review and learn." ”
