Chapter 61 For 2 million, I am willing to do anything!
"Master Bao, where are you?"
Unable to find an answer from Director He, Gu Mei turned to Master Bao.
Master Bao is a well-known photographer in Mingzhu. He has a strong sense of image and is well-known for his control of funds.
Gu Mei is very clear about this.
Master Bao is holding a stack of storyboards and is making some modifications.
Raising his head slightly, Gu Mei found that his brows were furrowed.
"Master Bao, if you have anything to say, just say it."
"We must satisfy investors."
When it comes to satisfaction, I’m afraid it’s already difficult now.
"Director Gu, I think that since the filming started, we have indeed wasted a bit. If nothing else, even though we only shot a small part of these large-scale war scenes, the expenditure was two times more than we planned before.
Times."
"Not to mention the previous computer special effects team. In order to hire them, we paid a deposit. As a result, not only did their finished products fail to meet our needs, but they also criticized us and said that the funds we provided were insufficient."
"I think the most discerning person in our crew is Xiao Wu!"
Before Xiao Wu arrived, he was already @ arrived.
"He said a few days ago that it's not worth hiring a special computer effects team. It wastes a lot of money and can't produce good results."
At this time, Master Bao thought of Wu Di's kindness.
It can be said that those who work in videography do not have much favorable impressions of those who do computer special effects.
Photography is also an art.
It belongs exclusively to light and shadow.
What are computer special effects?
Isn’t that just fraud?
Now they are not only making fake products, but also making extremely poor quality products. Most importantly, they are actually wasting so much money!
If the money for computer special effects could be given to him, he wouldn't know how many good shots he could take!
"What's Director He's opinion?"
"I think what Master Bao said makes sense."
Both of them are direct descendants of the Pearl, so of course they have to help each other.
Even if it's something that doesn't make sense, they will cover each other up, let alone something that makes sense.
Naturally, they hugged each other and formed a group.
"It seems that we really need to change a special effects team."
"Please get a cheap one."
"It's enough to do the special effects at the beginning and end of the film."
This operation saves a lot of money, which can be regarded as a saving for Gu Mei.
However, even if the special effects team was changed, it still could not meet the standards.
We overspent twice as much in the early stage!
How many scenes have been filmed just now!
Where else can I get money?
While everyone was anxious, Uncle Pancake appeared at the entrance of the scenic spot with a relaxed look.
"Xiao Wu, you are finally here!"
"Everyone is waiting for you!"
He who lies without a blushing face or a beating heart is indeed an old-timer.
Jianbing didn't know where anyone was waiting for him. No matter what, he was sure that this kid would have a way.
Pancakes are not unfounded.
The way to save money on martial arts scenes was thought up by Wu Di, and it was a brilliant idea.
The martial arts team is much cheaper than the special effects team, not to mention that Director He invited the martial arts team here.
Only half price.
It’s crazy cheap.
Jianbing firmly believes that this time, Wu Di can still come up with a good way to save money.
"Brother Pancake, I'm sorry, I'm late."
When the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. He wanted to explain clearly, but he thought that the two crews were also in a competitive relationship.
There is an investment crisis on the skin-changing side, so it’s best not to let the Fuzi crew know about it. In the same way, he won’t let Zhang Feng know about the situation on the Fuzi crew.
"It's good to come, it's good to come."
Pancakes don’t matter, it’s not an official filming, so it doesn’t matter if it’s a little later.
It took about ten minutes to walk from the door to the set. Taking advantage of this gap, Jianbing briefly explained Meiya Company's requirements for the crew.
Wu Di was happy when he heard it.
Isn’t this normal?
If he were the big boss, he wouldn't agree with Gu Mei's shooting method.
Where she should spend money, she spends money, and where she should save money, she spends extravagantly.
To put it bluntly, there is a problem with Gu Mei’s filming schedule.
The movie "Master" is obviously more expensive to the naked eye, so we have to shoot all the indoor scenes first. These are scenes where the expenditure can be appropriately controlled.
Put all the money-consuming scenes until the end, and do what you can within your ability.
However, Gu Mei did not adopt this centralized shooting method.
When Wu Di first joined the crew, she was obviously filming a literary drama, which was very good and saved money.
But while she was filming, she started another war scene.
This kind of shooting method with a hammer in one place and a stick in the other, Wu Di was quite confused anyway.
"Gu Dao, I heard you were looking for me?"
Jianbing's little eyes blinked desperately behind Wu Di. Gu Mei was stunned for a moment, but later she figured out his intention and said the following.
"Yes, Xiao Wu, something happened to the crew. I told you about Jianbing."
Wu Di nodded.
"Our task at this stage is to reduce expenditures. Xiao Wu, you are young and have a lively mind. It is up to you to come up with ideas."
What?
When will it be his turn to come up with such an idea?
There are two great directors and a famous photographer sitting here. What can he say?
"Director Gu, you really praise me too much. I know nothing about the behind-the-scenes work of film shooting."
Gu Mei is not confused either.
The so-called raising funds is nothing more than two ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
Open source, given the current situation of the crew, is impossible. Even the salaries of the leading actors are paid in advance.
Can it still be taken out of their pockets now?
In that case, don't mess around.
We can only save money.
But the movie was made by Gu Mei and was her brainchild. She loved everything she saw and was reluctant to put down any one of them.
Why do we need to delete it?
Why save?
Director Gu thinks everything is good, so we should shoot it as planned!
It’s even more economical to make a movie!
I think back then, when I was working at Channel One, when did I ever consider funding issues?
The tiger falls in Pingyang!
"Xiao Wu, please stop being modest."
"Speak up if you have any ideas."
Uncle Pancake is such a good buddy!
Once I identified Wu Di, I never forgot to mention him all the time. Due to the difficulties imposed by Meiya Company, today's filming was stopped, but he made a special trip to the set.
In fact, it’s not just for the crew. To be more specific, it’s not director Gu, but Xiao Wu Di!
This guy has a lot of clever ideas. Jianbing always feels that his perspective on thinking about problems is different from others.
Very novel!
It was Jianbing who took the lead, and others also echoed a few words. It was already like this, and it would be inappropriate to refuse any more.
Besides, helping the Fuzi crew save money doesn't seem to do any harm to Wu Di, but I don't know if he can share some of the money saved.
He is very short of money now...
If he could make a quick profit of 2 million by selling himself, Wu Di suspected that he could do it even if he was obsessed with it.
