"Ashley, an idiot, has a very high opinion of this movie and said it is worth watching."
"Then pick a time?"
"Then the day after tomorrow?"
"Okay, then please trouble Mr. Zhuang to book tickets~"
"mock up!"
…
In addition to the crew, there are other teams in the company, and the post-production team needs to be prepared.
Fortunately, in the later stage of the film and television, Xia Yu and Zhuang Ling can handle it.
But the production of the music department is not a small issue. Whether it is excellent or not is very important.
"This is Brian's first album after his comeback. You can't be careless -" Xia Yu almost said, I'm just pointing out the Billboard, Grammy Awards, American Music Awards, MTV Most
International awards, these four major awards go.
If possible, Xia Yu feels that it is still necessary to hire some professionals to make adjustments.
The album can be tuned, which is different from the live sound. This is also an invisible "economic" advantage.
If a singer has 100% strength, then through various equipment, the singer's strength can be maximized to 120%. It can make the album more perfect, why not?
If possible, Xia Yu would also like to rent recording studios from other top record companies.
It's still the same sentence - "I hope we can compete on the same level."
Although the recording studio of the Bankrupt Sisters is not bad, it really cannot be said to be good.
Zhuang Ling and Tao Tang didn't expect that Xia Yu was going to do something so big, but even if they knew, they wouldn't be crazy about it from the beginning.
Xia Yu Studio's funds are limited, so it can only allow her to experiment in the field of movies.
If she ran out of money during the process, she would have to "borrow it" from Tao Tang or Zhuang Ling. She didn't have any extra funds, so she could work in the record company field.
Thinking of the money on the company's books, Xia Yu is still a little worried - because so far, he only has enough on his books to maintain the filming of "Twilight 1" and "Twilight 2". He wants to complete the Twilight series at once
After filming, I was still a little nervous.
Thinking of the investment in the filming of "Black Moon Project", which was as high as 300 million U.S. dollars, Xia Yu really felt that she was extremely poor.
Because the budget of "Twilight 1" is only 40 million US dollars, while the budget of "Twilight 2" is 30 million US dollars. This is a mess of expenditures currently thrown out to support the operation of the entire bankrupt sisters for three years, and the remaining preparations for filming
funds.
Seventy million US dollars, equivalent to more than 4.0 billion Chinese coins.
You know, Xia Yu has made so many movies, even if he adds "Jinling Festival", he can't make up 400 million.
"Painting the Land as a Prison" has more than 30 million, "Cure" has more than 70 million, and "Trafficking Crime" has 80 million - added up to 1.8 billion, "Jinling Sacrifice" has 200 million, which is 380 million.
"Twilight 1" alone cost nearly RMB 300 million. Xia Yu took out his own salary, and the finance department held a one-day meeting with them to break down all the links and figure it out!
As you can imagine, special effects commercial blockbusters,
As for the release of "Trafficking Crime" in November, Xia Yu doesn't have high hopes, but it is still necessary to raise more funds.
After the review of "Twilight 1" is completed, Xia Yu also plans to ask Gu Zhao to take a look and see if he can make an ally.
If it really doesn't work, we can only "get some support" from Tao Tang and Zhuang Ling.
It's quite novel for a boss to borrow money from his employees, isn't it? It seems even more novel that the employees are richer than the boss!
But the current situation of the bankrupt sisters and Xia Yu Studio is like this: [The rich managers and their poor movie queens——]
Change of topic.
Even if the top record companies can't borrow the recording studios, there are still other ways.
Whether in China or in Hollywood, there are some very professional recording studios that can be rented. The quality of the equipment depends on how much you pay for rent. The higher the quality, the higher the rent.
"As for the music production team, if it doesn't work out, Brian and I will take part in it, and we'll continue to rent the rest."
Zhuang Ling was multitasking, watching Xia Yu plan carefully, and said: "In the early stages of starting a company, do you save as much as you can?"
"Bingo, but no reward!"
As for Brian, Xia Yu also knew almost everything. Apart from his life experience, the main thing he knew about was the other skills he had mastered in music besides his singing skills.
For example, musical instruments.
Xia Yu can be a pianist.
Brian naturally doesn't have the money to study so far. Although he is not weak at the piano, he is still far from Xia Yu's level.
But he is also very good at other musical instruments, including violin, bass, and drums, which are his strengths.
In the past few years, apart from eating, drinking, and having sex, he has basically spent all his money on these music-related studies.
For this album, the two of them have been able to put together the main instruments for "bad day" and "free loop".
As for the other eight songs, they were probably about the same, and when Brian heard Xia Yu talk about this matter.
Although he had expected it, Brian still trembled immediately and wondered again, was he signing this contract too impulsively?
However, he also had a basic understanding of the company. When he went to work the next day, he went to Laura's office to inquire. He got some information that he could know, and then he bit the bullet and asked Xia some questions.
Yu company's economic status.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that he was about to invest 70 million US dollars in the film, and that the company was currently not short of funds, and that the company was still in the start-up stage - and a series of keywords.
I thought, 'If it's not in the initial stage, no matter how you turn, you may not be able to get your turn, right?'
An investment of at least 70 million is not considered a small investment in Hollywood.
The next afternoon, Xia Yu also specially took Brian to a private mental hospital.
After an afternoon of psychological consultation, the doctor concluded that he was moderately depressed. Fortunately, Brian was able to regulate his mood well and exercise regularly, which prevented his mood from worsening.
But in the past, when it came to taking medicine, Brian didn't take it until he really couldn't stand it any more - which also led to his symptoms persisting and not being able to receive very effective treatment.
There is no way, after all, in the beautiful country, anything related to "doctors" is not cheap.
There are also benefits, but most of them are for basic illnesses and short-term - and they are in public hospitals.
Brian said that he made the reservation at the beginning of the year and it has already been scheduled until February or March next year.
Zhuang Ling said, "It is normal for public hospitals to wait for one or two months, or even one or two years."
As for personal matters, Brian was helpless,
"For me, I can't afford this money in the long run. If I study music, I will be very happy!"
But this time, Xia Yu was forced to "obey the doctor's instructions".
From now on, there will be follow-up visits every week. As for various treatment expenses, the company will bear and reimburse them.
There was a hint of shame on Brian's handsome face, "I'm already spending the company's money before I create benefits for the company."
Xia Yu also smiled and said with a slightly philistine tone:
"I would rather spend a little money now. I don't want to waste countless times more money when something really happens to you. That would be an idiot. I think you agree with me, right?"
Mainly because Brian thought that what Xia Yu said yesterday that he was going to be busy today was because he was busy with work. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be this.
For his mental state.
Xia Yu also told him at the time, "We have an idiom in China, which is 'sharpening the knife will not waste time chopping wood'. There is no shortage of time in this day."
It is impossible for a young man's heart that has been frozen for more than ten years to be thawed all at once. It will take more than a day to freeze three feet of ice.
But this arrangement really made Brian feel touched by Xia Yu on another level.
"The person who can sing "Bad Day" in such a story-telling and yet clean way, maybe he also has a story-telling and clean heart inside, right?"
In addition, there is also the reason of blood. He himself is a quarter of Chinese blood. The most important thing is that he received an education from his Chinese grandmother in his childhood. He did not hate his Chinese blood because of racial bullying.
——This is not his fault, let alone his bloodline’s fault!
Wrong, those "nazis"!
Because Xia Yu is Chinese, Brian can't help but feel close to her.
Xia Yu's gentleness and kindness, he said, "I seem to see the shadow of my grandmother in you."
Xia Yu was stunned and said with a smile, "I'm honored!"
…
When Xia Yu sent him back to the place where he lived, Brian felt a little embarrassed.
This area is almost the most chaotic area in Los Angeles. Most homeless people, robberies, etc. happen in this area.
But for just a moment, he was not ashamed of it. He relied on his own efforts and lived well. What was there to be ashamed of?
What made him feel a little embarrassed was that it was not for this reason. He swallowed and said,
"My bike... is still at the company -"
Unexpectedly, Xia Yu smiled and said, "I know, but I'm not bringing you back this time. Do you have a lot of luggage? If you can't move it all at once, you can choose to move part of it first?"
"Oh, I forgot to tell you that the fourth floor of the Bankrupt Sisters Equipment Department Building has been converted into artist staff dormitories."
"Two people share a room with two bedrooms and one living room. I also arranged a cute roommate for you? I think he will be very happy to meet you as a roommate!"
When Xia Yu said these words, Brian was stunned again. Thousands of thoughts were spinning in his mind. Finally, his eyes flickered - he actually didn't like it when others forced him to make decisions, but at this moment, this decision
, but it made him feel the warmth that he had not seen for a long time.
He hesitated for a while and lowered his head. When he turned his head again, his emotions had been sorted out.
"I think I have a lot of mess, but I hope I won't cause any trouble to you or my new roommate."
"Trouble? That's a nosy, helpful kid. He won't mind at all. I don't think you need to worry -"
"That's good!"
