Chapter 21 The Tomb Opening
According to Li Xianyun's plan, the efficiency of film shooting under the new model will inevitably be greatly improved.
And the efficiency improvement does not mean that the cost will decrease year-on-year, because the personnel packaging price will not be cheaper - how do you share the packaging price with others for a few days?
"What is the wholesale price of your cigarettes? Okay, just press this and bring me two packs. ”
I can't kill you!
Therefore, according to their design, they strive to make more films in the same time, so that the "cost compression" can be achieved to the extreme to the greatest extent.
Therefore, the application of new technologies and new models is not used to make a film complete in a short time, but to shoot enough films in the same time like Chaoying.
Fifteen days is still fifteen days, but fifteen days is not one film, but five!
Yisheng Media itself does not have so many films, and it is bound to strive for cooperation with the outside.
In addition, new technology, new models, and countless problems are bound to arise.
Although Chaoying uses new technology, there are many problems.
According to the plan, the technical service department will be two pieces in the future, one is in front of the stage and the other is behind the scenes.
All the "black technology" is the appearance, but it is actually the work of the ghosts, but behind those technology props are connected to the backstage, and there are so-called core technical personnel.
In this case, the new model requires not only new technologies, but also new processes.
And both of these need to be tested.
Fortunately, the old ghost contacted him earlier with a film and television company that was willing to cooperate.
This company is called Red Tide, and the volume of films to be produced is not large, including publicity, with a total investment of only 28 million, but it has a second-tier artist with a good reputation. It can be said that the entire company lives on this second line and is their pillar.
Li Xianyun rushed to this point.
Li Xianyun doesn't like celebrities, mainly because he doesn't like celebrities.
But you have to admit that the halo effect of stars does work.
During this time, a considerable number of foreign tourists in the ghost town were fans brought by the stars of the two big crews of Linglan and Dongluo Film and Television.
In this case, Li Xianyun urgently needs more stars to support the scene - it doesn't matter what the script is, my boss Li will be a part-time job.
Coupled with the need to test the new process, Li Xianyun used the director, venue and post-production to take a stake, accounting for 18% of the shares - this is a comedy romance film that does not require any big special effects.
The incidental requirement is that the artists of the red tide must come to the mirror world to perform, and of course the artists on my side will also give you a show.
It is necessary to test the process and squeeze the artist, which is also considered to be a fish and two foods.
In addition, the time is scheduled for mid-August - by this time, Chaoying will almost be completed, and the people of Yisheng Media will also be back.
Of course, because it was two different films, Li Xianyun didn't dare to open three films at once, mainly to practice first.
Strictly speaking, this can't be called a set shot - set shots are generally the same subject.
This can only be called a joint shot.
The reusable resources of the joint production are few, and it is of little significance, at most, the actors play with each other, and Li Xianyun is just a trial.
This made Huayou scream that "it's too risky to open two dramas at the same time".
As for the one called Red Tide, it doesn't matter - they also use investors' money, so saving money is the most important thing.
Li Xianyun's conditions are enough for them to make a profit from the investment, and the rest depends on the director's level.
During the filming of Chaoying, the script of the mirror world was almost completed.
In fact, the script of this film is not complicated, the key is the imaginary world of the mentally ill, which must meet the condition of imagination, so the storyboard design is extremely complex, and the scenery art and props are demanding.
As for the film of Red Tide, it is a very ordinary script, it is a comedy and romance film, except for second-tier artists, there is nothing else to take advantage of, the so-called 28 million investment is converted into resources, and some are not as good as Li Xianyun's own family background.
Of course, Li Xianyun will not use his own people, it is not that he can't arrange it, the key is not worth it.
If this film can be done without loss, even if it is good luck for investors.
Double opening is a must to be more directed.
Therefore, in addition to being the chief director, Li Xianyun also needs the cooperation of two directors, so that when he leaves the ghost town to shoot other scenes, he can take care of his own stalls.
The director's first choice is still Dong Zixin.
This girl is indeed talented.
The other one chose Xu Han.
The female protagonist of the mirror world is determined to be Yunzhi, and the male protagonist is still Lin Xiaoyu.
Li Xianyun did not reuse Lin Xiaoyu and Jiang Lanwen because he was in love, which can be regarded as showing the generosity of the boss.
Grain pieces
However, Dong Zixin and Xu Han were still filming Chaoying outside and did not come back, so they couldn't start the film in the past two months, so they could only rely on those holographic projection ghosts to attract business.
Although the shops began to charge, because of the small flow of customers, they were temporarily discounted, so the merchants were not satisfied.
Looking at the daily losses of the ghost town, Li Xianyun was also like an ant on a hot pot, anxious and chaotic.
Today, Li Xianyun was still having a headache, and Jiang Zheng ran over and said, "It's time for the Ozawa Mountain Ancient Tomb to open." ”
Ozawayama Tomb?
Li Xianyun was stunned, damn, he forgot about this.
According to the original plan, the construction of the Ozawa Mountain Ancient Tomb was completed within half a year - and this is already outrageous.
It's July now, and the tomb project has been half a year now.
Li Xianyun nodded and said, "Okay, then let's open it, but don't expect to bring many passengers." ”
"There's no need, just charge it separately." Jiang Zheng blinked.
Li Xianyun was stunned.
Ozawayama Tomb Separate Entrance Fee?
This one works.
Their current tickets were originally set according to the first phase of the project, and the second phase of the project is still being done, and many new attractions have been added, but the ticket price has not risen yet, so it is already relatively favorable.
After the completion of the second phase of the project, the number of attractions will increase significantly, and the price of tickets will increase across the board.
This is also a common tactic used by many attractions under construction, increasing the average order value without increasing the number of visitors, so that the overall revenue tends to be stable.
"How much?" Li Xianyun asked.
"Let's set fifteen dollars first." Jiang Zhengdao.
"I'll see it, so let's decide."
Yisheng Media's style of doing film and television is different from that of making ghost towns - film and television are bad movies with big special effects, just cheat money, but ghost towns are taking a long-term route and attach importance to word of mouth, which makes them not overwhelmed with advertising at the beginning, and spend all the money in practice, with high praise and strong stamina.
In this case, in order not to affect popularity and improve reputation, everyone will not charge too high a ticket price, otherwise with the level of the Ozawa Mountain Ancient Tomb, it is not too much to charge thirty or fifty for this one place.
In their view, stop-loss should be a natural consequence of increased foot traffic.
Of course, they dare to do this because they now have enough capital flow support, and the vast majority of enterprises do not have so much capital to make long-term plans.
"By the way, what's wrong with your surprise?" Jiang Zheng asked.
"! Forget about this, it's already done later. Li Xianyun slapped his thigh.
Simple, during the filming of Chaoying, all the post-production has been done, and the review has been completed.
It was taken at the ancient tomb of Zeshan, and it just happened to play a role.
Li Xianyun immediately called Zheng Xia and asked Zheng Xia to help go online as soon as possible.
Although this film only cost one million, the ghost special effects and magic special effects in it are substantial, plus Qin Yuqi is now a well-known actress, so it is not surprising that it is rated A-level.
A week later, the Ozawa Mountain Tomb was officially opened to the public.
At the same time, Hell's Surprise was also launched on the Swift platform.
Li Xianyun and they even put this film directly at the door of the ticket office of the ancient tomb, and played it in turn, and the tourists passing by looked at the movie on the screen, and laughed while laughing, and they couldn't help but want to go in to see the situation inside the ancient tomb.
In order to attract business and increase the number of customer orders, Li Xianyun even arranged for the long-haired ghost to guard at the gate of the ancient tomb when he had nothing to do.
With the help of the Transfiguration Charm, he made the most beautiful gesture, fluttering, and beckoned to the passing tourists: "Come on!" Guests come and play! ”
There is a posture of a woman in a green building to solicit customers.
Don't say it, it really works.
There are really many tourists who buy tickets to enter the ancient tomb because of this.
Li Xianyun thinks this trick is good, or will it be used at the gate of the ghost city? It was Jiang Zheng who stopped him.
You should take it easy, the guests who enter the ghost town are prepared, just looking for excitement.
Passers-by outside the ghost town are not mentally prepared for this, don't be scared to death by you, just have a lot of fun.
Li Xianyun thought about it, so he had to give up.
He was still regretting that the ancient tomb could only make profits from the original tourists in the ghost town, but he didn't expect it to explode in just two days.
This film turned out to be on fire in an instant on the swift platform.
And the fire was so fierce that it was much beyond Li Xianyun's expectations.
