Chapter Seventy-Six. Additional Investment【Seeking Follow-up】
Kang Honglei dormitory.
Sun Yi was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and didn't know how to answer for a while, this news was really a bit sudden, because it didn't match what he knew in his previous life.
This time is not like the previous movie channel's "Send You a Little Red Flower", which he worked hard to take the initiative to get, but this time "Soldier Assault", he didn't do anything at all.
Kang Honglei saw Sun Yi sitting there stunned, didn't say a word, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out one and lit it.
"Click", the sound of the lighter pulled Sun Yi's thoughts back.
Kang Honglei took a deep breath and said:
"Xiaoyi, how is it, I am relieved of your acting skills, now is your schedule, let's hurry up and shoot, now the tacit understanding between the several leading actors is already very high, I estimate that it will be completed in 1 month at most."
There must be no problem in terms of time, Sun Yi's original plan is to go back to school after filming "Soldier Assault", the promotional activities of his album have come to an end, and the rest is the graduation drama of the Beiying 02-level acting department, and now it is just the end of March, even if it is filmed for another month, it will definitely be too late to go back at the end of April.
Sun Yi pondered for a moment and replied with a smile:
"Director Kang, thank you for your support, I'm a little actor, where is the schedule not scheduled, the time must be no problem, but this news is indeed a bit sudden, can I ask what the specific reason is?"
Speaking of this reason, Kang Honglei was a little angry.
"The role of Chengcai was originally scheduled to be Chen Sicheng, and he himself was also willing to play it. I'm also satisfied with him, he had a film appointment for Huaxia TV's "Wang Zhaojun" before our play, originally Huayi said that he would coordinate with the crew over there and take time out for Chen Sicheng to come to us to shoot, but now Huayi has repented and delayed letting go, and the crew can't afford to wait. ”
After hearing this, Sun Yi couldn't stop nodding his head and replied: "Oh, that's it, I understand." But his eyes gradually became complicated, and his mind seemed to be thinking about something.
In fact, the first time Kang Honglei asked, Sun Yi had already decided to star, he was not a fool, this is a TV series that will definitely be a hit, he can have the opportunity to be the leading actor, there is no reason to give up, he is thinking about whether there can be other opportunities besides this unexpected starring role.
Kang Honglei looked at Sun Yi with a thoughtful look and continued to explain to him.
"The time of our play is very tight, and the tight place is not in the actors' schedules, nor in the daily costs, mainly in the venue and props."
Kang Honglei was a little excited as he spoke, stretched out his finger and pulled it up for Sun Yi as he spoke, and he didn't even notice that the cigarette ash fell on his pants.
"You see, our drama is a military theme, and it took me a lot of effort to pull down the investment of Bayi Film Studio, in order to ensure the authenticity, the filming sites of the Seventh Steel Company and A Brigade are all serious military camps."
"Why did the army let us enter the barracks to shoot, is it to see me Kang Honglei, which green onion am I, people reluctantly agreed for the sake of the face of Bayi Factory."
"The army is a secret unit, and we have entered the barracks to shoot, and the time plan is all set in advance, and we can't change it at all."
"Speaking of props, the tanks and armored vehicles we photographed are all real guys who applied for it, and in order to cooperate with us, the misappropriated equipment has been delayed to the spring training of the troops, and there is no way to postpone it."
The more Kang Honglei spoke, the more angry he became, and his face flushed with emotion.
Originally, the director had to be responsible for many things in the crew, all kinds of things, big and small, all kinds of trivial matters, and his mood was inevitably irritable.
"Fuck, there's no Huayi doing anything like that. Yes, their family has a big business, and they can't afford to invest this amount of money, but you can't delay the entire crew. ”
Looking at Kang Honglei who began to scold in front of him, Sun Yi's thinking became clearer and clearer, especially Huayi Company, the investor mentioned by Kang Dao, which directly woke him up.
Sun Yi frowned, his eyes were full of light, and he persuaded Kang Honglei:
"Director Kang, don't be angry, it's not worth it, people are big companies, after all, people are under the eaves."
Then he asked.
"By the way, Director Kang, how much money did they put into our play?"
"Well, I also know that it's useless to be angry, just take the opportunity to vent. In our play, Bayi Film Studio invested 4 million, Huayi invested 6 million, and made up 10 million. ”
Sun Yi was slightly shocked when he heard this data, but after thinking about it for a while, he understood.
In the previous life, it was said that the total investment cost of "Soldier Assault" was 12 million, but I was relieved when I thought of the vacation publicity routines used by those film and television companies.
The total cost is 10 million and 12 million for external publicity, which must be regarded as a discovery of conscience, it is estimated that this Huayi really can't look down on this drama, and he didn't even bother to make up stories when he publicized it.
Sun Yi's surprised appearance made Kang Honglei misunderstand, thinking that Sun Yi had some concerns, and hurriedly explained:
"Xiaoyi, don't worry, this change of role is my idea, and it doesn't involve you. I, Kang Honglei, am still a director, and a company as big as Huayi will not make it difficult for this matter, even if something happens, I will bear it. ”
Sun Yi didn't expect Kang Honglei to be quite righteous, enough for the gentlemen. But he did misunderstand, and he really didn't think Huayi was a thing.
Although I don't think so in my heart, I have to thank you for it.
"Thank you Director Kang, it's okay, I'm a single gang now, what are you afraid of?"
Then, Sun Yi slapped his thigh again and pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and suddenly asked:
"By the way, Director Kang, look at my memory, the last time we had dinner, didn't you ask me if I was interested in investing, how much money is there for our play?"
When Kang Honglei heard it, he waved his hand again and again, and explained:
"Xiaoyi, I didn't come to you to invest, the money of the crew is enough now. I really think you are suitable for the role of Chengcai, if I didn't know you earlier, I wouldn't have been able to determine Chen Sicheng. ”
Hearing this, Sun Yi understood that Director Kang had misunderstood again, and hurriedly explained:
"Director Kang, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that. I really like our drama, and I think that our film can be successful, and the money is surplus, isn't the filming effect better? ”
Kang Honglei looked at Sun Yi's expression and asked:
"Really?"
Sun Yi nodded and replied:
"Absolutely, sincerely."
"Then I'll leave it at that."
Sun Yi laughed and said:
"As long as you speak."
Kang Honglei believed this, as if he had a draft in his heart, and said without thinking:
"Well, if you can invest another five or six hundred thousand, I can strengthen the battle scenes in the play, the scale is larger, more intense, and the effect will be more brilliant."
After speaking, he added another sentence.
"By the way, the role of Chengcai has a total of 20 episodes, and it turns out that Chen Sicheng's salary is 6,000 per episode, and I will calculate 10,000 for you."
After hearing this, Sun Yi waved his hand and said categorically:
"In this way, Director Kang, I don't want any salary, let's round it up, and count me as 1 million for you."
