Vitality 28 plant is just one side.

"Desert Island Survivors" is too popular now, and in just five days after it was launched, the total number of views on the Doushou platform has exceeded 50 million.

With the emergence of editing and second creation in film and television areas on major platforms, the heated discussion of the film is quite high.

Under this huge heat, the soft planting effect of the tailwind is outstanding, and the stock price has risen continuously.

After seeing Li Youzhi's Weibo "investment announcement", many domestic factories urgently started implantation design.

In the next few days, Li Youzhi began the preparation of the film with a group of rebels.

According to the script of "Bring Her Eyes", the story is divided into three acts. It involves scenes that need to be set up in important places, mainly "the protagonist's home", "equipment research center", "future hotel" and "future aircraft".

It took three days for the project team to rent a digital studio in Rongdian Film and Television City, and collected more than 700 sets and props in the props city and props street of Rongdian.

The original budget of 20 million was directly wiped out by a quarter - but this is only the beginning......

Large-scale decoration is not allowed on the digital studio side of the film and television city, and close-up scenes such as "Equipment Research Center", "Protagonist's Home" and "Future Hotel" cannot be rendered entirely on a green screen, so physical decoration is required.

Agricultural University has a Department of Civil Engineering, and there is no shortage of relationships in this area.

However, even if there is a favor from the school, several alumni who opened a decoration company still stunned a group of rebels of Heguang Culture after seeing the decoration effect drawings of the crew and the construction period required by Li Youzhi;

The decoration cost of these three main scenes alone is more than one million!

That's it, I have to say that a few senior brothers take care of it, and there is no additional charge for the demolition part after filming.

More than 7 million flowers have been spent back and forth, and the crew hasn't seen a sweet and sour yet!

Most of the props bought are of poor quality, such as the airsuit props sold in the Rong store, which are all printed with the NASA logo and the Star-Spangled Banner. A lot of details need to be revamped according to the plot, which is an expense.

In fact, this is also a pain point in domestic sci-fi films;

Science fiction movies are too heavy on the expression of the worldview, so the versatility of props and sets is very low, and it cannot form a scale of the film and television industry.

Almost everything needs to be done by the crew.

At this point, the science fiction theme is completely incomparable with the modern drama of costume dramas.

For example, there is a Daming Palace scenic spot in Rongdian, which can shoot both dynastic dramas and fantasy fairies, and only needs to change the internal and external scenery slightly to have applicability. A rooster bowl in Stephen Chow's movie, after filming "The Judge of the Dead" and filming "The Saint of Gambling", ...... In science fiction, this will not work.

But the props and sets are still small heads that spend money, and the places where money is really burned...... It's a special effect!

The special effects part of "Bring Her Eyes" can be done by Waguang Digital Studio, but the construction period is expected to be delayed for more than six months.

According to Li Youzhi's idea, he cooperated with several large digital studios in Rongdian, divided the special effects part into several sections, and then took charge of part and overall editing with Guang Digital.

The level of special effects studios in Rongdian is particularly serious, and most of the crews use small studios, that is, Wumao special effects professionals. A studio like this is engaged in special effects, and the price of a better quality is basically 30,000 or 50,000 yuan a minute.

But some of the work is better, and the studios that specialize in outsourcing foreign film and television crews are not at this price.

Studios like this basically charge per frame, and depending on the amount of rendering and the duration required, it basically costs 800 to 1,500 per frame.

How long is a frame?

A twelfth of a second!

According to the script of "Bring Her Eyes", this short and medium-length film, which is expected to last 30 minutes, needs to be rendered for a full 16 minutes...... Even if you don't consider the reserved materials for editing, there is no waste of materials in all rendered images, and the average unit price of one thousand yuan per frame is calculated, and the special effects part needs nearly 12 million!

The crew hasn't started up yet, and the budget can basically be determined to be overspending.

After a week, Liu Meng, Zhou Yuan and Wang Hui, who were in charge of the preparations, spent a lot of money just to spend money.

And the financial situation of the entire crew is also like a senior young man - before he gets married and does business, both waists have been seriously overdrawn.

Tongchen Society, Shaw Activity Room.

"I'm blanching! Brother Zhi, we now have a budget of 20 million yuan, just now Sister Yu said that the existing money in the account can no longer be moved, and we will have no money to give back the special effects! ”

"I'm numb...... This is so special that science fiction is too fast to burn money, and it is almost in time for the Qingming Festival to burn paper for my grandfather! 20 million dollars, I'm going to grind it, no! ”

"Spending money is a trivial matter, but it doesn't feel like enough to spend money, what the hell is this! Brother Zhi, the feeling I have made in the past two days is like I have become a three-year-old boy and have been fascinated by an eight-foot adult...... This money is spent with a special feeling of a toothpick stirring a vat, and no matter how hard you try, you can't make it through! Either you tell Party A's father and let them invest some money, or if you want to finish filming this scene, the brothers will have to parachute into the country in women's clothes! ”

Squatting in the digital studio of Rongdian Film and Television City, looking at the soft plant props sent by various brands in the past two days, like a hill, and then hearing the bitter water of Liu Meng and Zhou Yuan behind him, Li Youzhi raised his eyebrows.

ay

Young people are impetuous, and they don't look at problems from the perspective of development.

When will it not be able to earn money?

Engaging in movies, sometimes it's like a scumbag fishing for a girl, and a bottle of Ace of Spades will be thunderous.

But sometimes, you can also talk about love, cultivate the feelings first, and wait for the emotions to become a natural ...... Another bayonet to see red!

Thinking so, Li Youzhi put the bag of laundry detergent in his hand back on the floor and patted the dust that did not exist on his hands.

At present, he has received more than 100 soft plant props from all brands, and he has already divided them into categories.

In general, these soft plant props are divided into three categories;

1. Poor scum is about to go bankrupt of domestic brands, such as Vitality 20 and Bee Flower.

Second, it is rich and oily, disguised as a foreign brand of domestic products and soft plants, such as what China and Dabao.

Third, he is so rich, but he is reluctant to spend money on promotion, and he comes over to rub his own soft planting of real domestic brands...... Such as China Post, this stinky shameless!

"How about the construction of the protagonist's home, the equipment R&D center, and the future hotel in the first act?"

Skimming the three piles of soft plant props, Li Youzhi asked lightly.

"It's almost decorated, although the details haven't been deducted yet, and it may smell a little formaldehyde...... But it's no problem to shoot. ”

Hearing Wang Hui's report, Li Youzhi nodded and stretched out his finger to point to the three piles of props on the ground.

"Pack up these props and use them as sets in a moment. Let's start shooting the first act in the afternoon. ”

Seeing Li Youzhi pointing at those props that didn't seem to be very distracted and were full of poverty, Wang Hui blinked.

"Okay, I'll take the brothers of the props team to do it in a moment. But Brother Zhi ...... What about these two piles? How to deal with it? ”

"This pile was thrown away, or sent to the brothers for their own use. As for this pile...... Wait until they've unlocked the paid model. ”

Pointing to the pile of pseudo-domestic production, Li Youzhi locked his eyes on the pile of props in China Post and narrowed his eyes.

Brother Zhi can accept white prostitution, but he can't accept white prostitution with the ability to pay!

Wrong

This can't be called a prostitution.

is obviously able to afford the cost of soft planting, and he came to rub Brother Zhi's film, this is completely a hooligan!

With a sneer, Li Youzhi took out his mobile phone and turned on his shaking hand.

It's been a full week since the announcement of the preparation of a new film.

Under the strong drainage of "Desert Island Survivors", although he has not made any movement this week, the popularity in the comment area is still at an active high level.

It's just that in the comment area at this time, there is obviously less discussion about "The Rest of the Desert Island" than in the two days when the movie was just launched.

Fun people netizens have more ...... are all discussing Li Youzhi's new film that has just prepared the first scene!

"On the seventh day of my brother's disappearance, I miss him."

"Hahaha, little brother hasn't shown up for a week, I guess the new film is already being filmed, right?"

"Poof, haha, did you know the little brother on the first day? If the movie had started, he would have been on it by now! There is no movement yet, and I seriously suspect that he feels that the budget of 20 million is not enough, and he has already run away with the money! ”

"Haha, I think so too! Before, I watched the little brother say that he would make a commercial for rice, and the theme was science fiction, so I felt that this time it was unreliable. The reason why "The Rest of the Desert Island" was made was because the little brother with the theme of a desert island has a life, and the shooting cost of the movie is not high.

The 15 million investment of Shunfeng is a big production for this kind of theme. But 20 million is for science fiction...... It's a small cost, and it's better if the little brother finds other soft plant income, but this guy just made an announcement that the soft plant is free, hahaha...... I'm betting on two packs of spicy strips, and now this guy must have repented of his intestines! ”

hiss

Seeing that a group of fun people in the comment area were making their own black rumors again, Li Youzhi wrinkled his nose.

Ma Dan, Brother Zhi is at this level in your eyes?

Thinking so, he turned on the camera, took a photo of the interior scene of the studio being renovated, as well as the soft plant props that were ready to leave the country for a while, and sent it directly to the shaking hands!

[My new sci-fi film "Bring Her Eyes" officially started today, and the film will take everyone's previous suggestions and release it for free with sequential shooting segments, so stay tuned! ] 】

posted the news to prove that he didn't run away, and Li Youzhi didn't bother to look at the sand sculpture comments that were instantly boiling under the news. casually put his mobile phone in his pocket, walked to the set, and arranged the interior scene of the first scene with Wang Hui and Zhou Yu, creating his own sci-fi world.

……

Ten days later.

Beijing, in front of the gate of the General Administration of Film.

"This time, the list of participants in the Busan Film Festival of "Desert Island" is really troublesome. If you have time to go to Shanghai, you must inform me and give me a chance to thank Wang Ju! ”

In the past two years, the influence of online short video platforms has become greater and greater, and the number of users has increased, and it has become an online distribution channel that should not be underestimated. For the cultural distribution strategy of the Doushou platform, our Film Bureau must support it. To put it mildly, this is also to open up a new development path for our domestic films!

Besides, I really didn't help this time. Li Youzhi, a young man, has been very active in the film and television industry in the past two years, and has long entered the sight of our bureau. Several of the main theme works filmed by this young man before have caused a good response on the Internet. A young filmmaker like this, even if you Mr. Xu don't say hello to us, if you want to enter the international film festival, we have to take care of it. ”

Standing opposite Wang Xintian, listening to the politeness of the deputy director of the Film Administration, Xu Haonian, who is now the general manager of the Doushou Cultural Distribution Department, laughed.

"It's true that this young man thought the same way when he posted his work on our platform before. Among the content creators of Shake Hand, this young man is the most outstanding one who can have both traffic and maintain a positive image. Our platform also has ideas on this side, and we will cooperate with him more in content creation to give traffic support and creative support. ”

Hearing Xu Haonian say this, Wang Xintian nodded with a smile.

"If the management is like your platform and knows what to do, then our work, especially the audit work, will be easy to do. After the film "Desert Island Survivor", does this Li Youzhi have a cooperation project with Shake Hand next? ”

"Not for the time being, the release period of "Desert Island" on our platform is two months, the popularity of this project is okay for the time being, we have no next plans, but he is currently working on a science fiction project, I think it is being filmed, and it is estimated that it will be launched soon."

"Huh?"

Hearing that Li Youzhi started science fiction, the smile on Wang Xintian's face became weird.

"Hey, where can't this kid think about it, the realistic theme and main theme are so well shot, why do you still jump into this fire pit? We just made statistics on movie genres last month, and among the 540 films submitted for review and won the Dragon Standard in China in the past six months, there are only three science fiction themes.

It's all small productions of less than 5 million, and now all the sci-fi that is launched in China is compared with foreign sci-fi masterpieces...... This theme has a market in China, but it's not easy to do. ”

"Hey,"

Facing Wang Xintian's concerns, Xu Haonian shook his head with a smile.

"Young people, they have a lot of ideas, and their thoughts are jumping. I contacted him before and asked him to finish filming this sci-fi work and continue to promote it online, and divide it into on-demand broadcasts. As a result, this kid insisted on distributing it for free in sections, and I heard that the production fee was quite tight...... I don't know what he thinks. ”

For!

Just as Xu Haonian was speaking, the mobile phone he was holding in his hand suddenly rang.

Glancing at the screen of his mobile phone, seeing that it was Li Youzhi's shaking hand update prompt, Xu Haonian grinned.

"Look, this also says that Cao Cao Cao arrived. Just said this kid's work, this is released! ”

Saying this, Xu Haonian turned on his mobile phone and clicked on the video that Li Youzhi had just uploaded and was still hot.

With the title of "Bring Her Eyes" flashed, a near-future sci-fi style room was presented in front of Wang Xintian and Xu Haonian.

"Today's news is broadcast below; China's Sixth Five-Year Plan for Low Earth Orbit has achieved remarkable results, and the [Xinghai] Low Earth Orbit Infrastructure Project has been completed perfectly......"

"Yo!"

Stretching his neck, looking at the messy, but full of sci-fi style room in the picture, and the future news broadcast with voiceover, Wang Xintian blinked.

The texture and futuristic sense of the opening scene are shaped...... It's a bit down-to-earth!
