After a new drama press conference was held with a slightly sensation, Cao Yu and a group of [Attack on Titans] production teams began to work hard.

Then after working for a while, Cao Yu found that the investment amount seemed to have been calculated by him incorrectly.

Cao Yu thought that he was a blockbuster film of the level of [Attack on Titan], and a wave of five plots were filmed together, and the personnel transfers and preparations in other aspects were calculated on average.

One movie needs at least 200 million US dollars to be filmed.

But judging from the current situation, it seems that it is a lot worse.

If you shoot the five-part of the first season of [Attack on Titan] according to the normal shooting method, it will cost up to 500 million US dollars. If you are slightly tight, you can get more than 300 million US dollars.

There are several reasons why there is such a big difference.

The first reason is that in terms of actor pay, since most of them are newcomers or actors with average popularity in Hollywood, the actor pay for [Attack on Titan] is very low.

Let's say so.

The whole crew of Cao Yu's commission is not counted, the biggest brand is connecting with Li.

At the beginning, Li opened his mouth to contact him for 12 million US dollars.

But when Cao Yu made the [Attack on Titan] a mode of shooting together in the five-part plot, and gave his character an important supporting role.

Lianjie Li refused to accept a single movie of 12 million yuan, and five movies of 60 million yuan, and in the end he only received a 30 million yuan salary.

Although Liu Yifei is the heroine, her status is still too low, and the five-part plot is only 25 million US dollars.

As for other actors, [Attack on Titan] learned it according to Marvel's appearance in later generations, and they all looked for some cheap and powerful actors.

The money you can get after filming one by one, no more than $5 million in earnings.

Therefore, the total expenditure of [Attack on Titan] in terms of pay and expenditure will not exceed 80 million.

You should know that when Marvel filmed the finale of Women's Federation 4, Robert Downey, a little boy, paid more than 50 million US dollars, and the others took a little more.

If you have more than 350 million yuan in investment, half of it will burn the incense.

Compared with Avengers IV, the performance of [Attack on Titan] is indeed very good.

After saving a lot of money on the pay, the set of [Attack on Titan] is also convenient to arrange.

The background of [Attack on Titan] is just about ordinary brick and tile houses, and the layout of this kind of scene is really cheap and simple.

In order to make the most cost-effective, Cao Yu even contacted Han Sanpin, president of Huaying Group, and asked Han Sanpin to help him bring in a construction team in China.

After all, the speed and price of the Chinese Construction Team is obvious to all.

Putting aside the bottomless pits of these two movies, [Attack on Titan] can basically have 900 million yuan in investment in the filming.

This fund is too huge.

Although the special effects technology at this time was not yet developed later, the quality of special effects has never been related to the times and technology.

Have you seen it's been 9102, and China has even shot the [Wandering Earth], but various 50 cent special effects can still be seen in many movies.

In 1988, Hollywood was able to shoot movie special effects of the [Terminator] level.

As long as this 900 million investment can cost 300 million US dollars to the special effects, Cao Yu can compare the special effects of [Attack on Titan] with the Avengers 4 fifteen years later.

But even so, there is still 600 million yuan in investment that cannot be used!

It is impossible to have a random flower trap. After all, although Cao Yu also serves as the director, producer and starring role, the top five Hollywood still filmed the finance department to supervise Cao Yu.

"So, how can you spend so much money reasonably and help with filming of the movie?" Cao Yu called Wen Ziren and Lin Yishan together to discuss.

Cao Yu asked this, which really made Wen Ziren and Lin Yishan's faces look bitter.

Since the two of them entered the industry, they have never encountered the situation where they can’t spend enough money when they make movies, and they have never spent enough money.

But looking at the nearly ten-digit funds in the account, the two really felt that the money seemed to be too much spent.

"Add some special effects?" Lin Yishan asked carefully.

Cao Yu did not answer, but pointed to the shooting schedule. The column represents the space for special effects investment, and the investment amount of 300 million US dollars was clearly written there.

Lin Yishan looked bitter when she saw this.

Indeed, the investment in special effects in filming these days is enough to be tens of millions of dollars.

After all, a large-scale A-level movie can only cost 30 to 40 million US dollars to be spent on special effects. In the long run, the price of Hollywood's top special effects will be fixed.

The investment of 300 million US dollars in special effects in these five plots can be averaged to 60 million US dollars in each movie of [Attack on Titan].

This movie with a level of krypton gold is far higher than the same level.

Moreover, the special effects in [Attack on Titan] are not distributed evenly, but are based on the plot.

For example, the first part of [Attack on Titan] has not many special effects, most of which are real-life shooting, just the special effects of the giant lying on the wall at the beginning.

This shot doesn't cost much, it's 10 million yuan.

Therefore, in some parts of [Attack on Titan], there will be a single special effect investment of hundreds of millions of US dollars.

You should know that the general investment in top Hollywood productions is just that, so [Attack on Titan] can already be considered a full investment in special effects.

"What should I do?" Wen Ziren, who is usually very smart, is helpless at this time when he is doing something reasonable to spend money.

Cao Yu saw that even Wen Ziren had no choice but to know that there was really nothing he could do.

"I can only find foreign aid!" Cao Yu sighed.

"Looking for foreign aid?" Wen Ziren and Lin Yishan were puzzled.

Looking at the two of them’s confusion, Cao Yu smiled slightly, “If we don’t go back to the flowers, there will always be someone who will do them.”

"who?"

"James Cameron."

After Cao Yu said this name, Wen Ziren and Lin Yishan stopped talking.

The two of them thought to themselves: Indeed, when it comes to spending money on filming, truck drivers are really unique in Hollywood and leading the way.

Cao Yu called the phone number that James Cameron left to him last time in front of the two.

"Cao, what's the matter with calling?" James Cameron said over there in a very vicissitudes of voice.

Cao Yu did not hide it, but generously explained the causes and consequences, but ended up in silence for a long time.

"Cao, you are here to show off, you are here to show off!" James Cameron was a little out of control.

It's a pity that although his truck driver James Cameron is a top Hollywood director, he doesn't have enough money to spend every time he shoots a movie, and gradually his funds have become a pain point in his heart.

As a result, someone came to him today and said, "Oh, what should I do if I spend too much money on filming movies?"

Can he not lose control of his emotions?

"It's really not!" Cao Yu said with a wry smile.

James Cameron just complained, and after listening to Cao Yu's narration, he also knew that Cao Yu really couldn't spend all his money.

So he started to show Cao Yu the way. After all, James Cameron is a master in terms of spending money on filming movies.

"Other paths are not easy to follow, so I can only follow the technical path. There are so many new technologies I have learned recently, and each one is so expensive that it is so scary." James Cameron sighed a little when he mentioned the word expensive.

"The more expensive the better. I'm afraid he is not expensive enough, but he's worth the money." Hearing Cao Yu's words, James Cameron became more and more urged to practice with Cao Yu.
