Chapter 494 No one will misunderstand(1/2)
"The boss is so generous!"
Yang Lu was like Grandma Liu who had just entered the Grand View Garden, and Xu Jian who came with him was not much better.
Xu Jian's MORE special effects team has already collaborated with Qian Chen on two films, and will also collaborate on the third film "Qi Jia Dao". They have made a lot of money during this time, the team's equipment has been updated, and a lot of personnel have been hired.
A master, fully capable of handling the requirements of light special effects movies independently.
"Come, drink tea."
Qian Chen motioned for the two of them to sit down.
It was warm in the conference room, much better than outside.
"Thank you. This place is nice. If I can have a small yard in this area in my life, I will have no regrets." Yang Lu took the tea and was filled with emotion.
People like him, who are at the "lower level" in the entertainment industry, don't even have to think about buying a house, let alone buying a yard in this place.
"If you make a good movie, you must have everything." Qian Chen opened the USB flash drive Xu Jian brought and clicked on the only file.
This is the title sequence made by MORE special effects team for Xichen Media.
It's the kind that's placed in front of a movie.
The creative design of this title is "dream", which means that filmmaking is about letting the wings of fantasy fly.
On the screen, a crystal blue mist first appeared.
As the majestic soundtrack played, a sci-fi monster rushed out. The pressure of it rushing towards him shocked even Qian Chen.
The level of the MORE team is indeed very good.
Monsters are coming, and the soundtrack is getting more and more tense.
Just when you feel that you are about to be pounced by the monster, the monster turns into crystal debris all over the sky.
The debris disperses, revealing the home environment.
A kitten lying on the sofa woke up from the trance, licked its delicate paws, and then roared "Wow!"
Finally, the two characters Xichen appeared.
"If it needs to be changed, I will arrange for someone to do it as soon as possible." Xu Jian respected Qian Chen very much.
They were originally a grassroots team that advertised for people.
Because of his unique ideas, he was discovered by Qian Chen and became a member of the four special effects teams of "A Chinese Ghost Story 4".
In this process, Qian Chen created many learning opportunities for them.
When I first joined the group, there were only a few people, but by the end of the season, the number of people had doubled.
The second single introduces "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons".
Although they were only considered as starters, they also got a good training opportunity.
The third single is "Qijia Dao". At this stage, they are already on an equal footing with Bangbang's special effects team.
This kind of kindness, and there is also a relationship of interest, they really will attack wherever Qian Chen points out.
"It's good, no need to change it." Qian Chen is a very good client.
MORE's special effects have completed his design concept very well. Even if there is a slight discrepancy, there is no need to rework it.
What really determines audience preference is definitely not the title sequence.
"Just use this title. We are the producers. We will also use this in "Xiu Chun Knife" in the future. I have no problem investing here. Have you prepared the script? In what month will the filming start?" Qian Chen handed over the USB flash drive.
Give it to Yang Lu.
Yang Lu took it, carefully put it into his coat pocket, and zipped it up.
"The script is almost done, let's do the rest as soon as possible. Some of the previous props can be used directly, which is good."
"How much does it cost?" Qian Chen asked.
"Almost 40 million, 30 million is actually okay, but you can't treat your brothers badly." Yang Lu carefully observed Qian Chen's expression.
"Qi Jia Dao" has not yet been released, and Yang Lu is still not well-known. Without Qian Chen, he will definitely not be able to find investment.
Moreover, even if he can find investment, he will not be short of money.
He knows better than anyone that there is meat to eat with Qian Chen.
Most people can't even if they want to, but he debuted at the finish line of others, and now he is the royal director of Xichen Media.
"Fifty million, no, sixty million, it's really useless to rely on lowering costs to protect capital." Qian Chen made the decision.
There is one thing he didn't say, that is, if the cost is only 30 to 40 million, our film remuneration will also have to be significantly reduced.
In addition, the era when the smell of wine is not afraid of the depth of the alley has passed.
The quality of "Many Days of Love" is indeed very good.
But if there had been no publicity at all, we would definitely not have achieved the results we have now.
60 million, 40 million production fee, 20 million promotion, and a box office impact of 300 million is no problem.
"That's great, I definitely won't let this money be lost." Yang Lu was overjoyed, Qian Chen is really awesome.
Since ancient times, the producer has always been in the middle.
One side is looking for the celebrity, saying that you need to pay more for this movie, we need to make a classic and make a lot of money; the other side is looking for the director, saying that this movie has a limited budget, so you have to save some money.
Unexpectedly, Qian Chen didn't pay him a penny and even gave him 20 million yuan.
Boss, you are my moon goddess.
"I can't rely on you alone. If the filming is bad, the sign of my Xichen movie will be ruined." Qian Chen shook his head and said: "The male lead is mine, the female lead is not important, right? Wan Xi will be cast.
…”
"I thought it would be An Qian." Yang Lu was a little disappointed.
If Qian Chen had a threesome with An Qian, if he was given 60 million, he would be confident that he would make back his capital with interest.
"We can't just keep talking. We need to cool down a bit, so as not to be misunderstood by others." Qian Chen explained a little bit, and he had discussed this matter with An Qian, and this was what he meant.
"No one will misunderstand..." Yang Lu felt tired.
You are all starting a company together. It is a family business, so there is nothing to misunderstand.
"Just in case, I'll think about the threesome when I get the chance later. I want the role of Wei Zhongxian, and give it to Li Guanqi." Qian Chen, of course, wants to recruit one of his own.
"I originally wanted to invite Jin Zhijie, but if it was Teacher Li Guanqi, that would definitely be okay.
Concubine Su, he is very popular now.
I watched a variety show of his. He can play chess and calligraphy. He has the demeanor of a master. Many people admire him." Yang Lu didn't have much objection to this casting choice.
It doesn't matter if the producer stuffs the actors.
What's more, Qian Chen is no amateur, and the person he chooses will definitely be qualified for this role.
With the popularity of "Huan Huan", Li Guanqi became really famous.
The extra roles he had played before were also discussed, and the final conclusion was that this man was born to be an actor.
I don’t know what things delayed me in the past, and I only debuted at a much older age.
"Teacher Li Guanqi is about to become a professional eunuch." Xu Jian said next to him.
"Yu Hua..." Yang Lu quickly stopped.
This is not called a professional house for eunuchs, this is called a home for eunuchs.
"Dedicate yourself to art. You know a hammer. You can find the other roles yourself, Lao Yang." Qian Chen paused and said: "Besides, the ugly words are ahead. You make a movie and I will help you find the money. But don't blame me for not being interested in the movie."
Pointing fingers."
Brothers can turn against each other for the sake of interests and ideals.
Not to mention their loose cooperative relationship.
Everything must be explained clearly in advance.
He will check this "Embroidery Spring Knife", and the quality will definitely not be bad.
Because what I was filming was the story of the Ming Dynasty.
Even if the person photographing is his descendant Wei Zhongxian, he still has more say than these people separated by hundreds of years.
The plot can't be stretched at all.
You can't just look for actors. Yang Lu's casual attitude towards looking for actresses made Qian Chen feel that this guy would be in trouble sooner or later.
Xu Ke's "The Flower Armor of Dragon Gate" had a poor plot and a failure in casting.
Both were taken.
"Don't worry, it's not the first time we've worked together. I'll bring you the script next time, and you'll check it. If there's anything that needs to be modified, just tell me." Regardless of Yang Lu's reluctance, he had to accept Qian Chen.
That's the truth of the speaker.
Having worked together once, he also understands Qian Chen's level.
