"Actually, I don't know which item is the most economical for the movie, but through various contacts with the crew these days, I feel that we can reduce some budget on props."<
/p>
Props?
When this was mentioned, Chief Props Master Xiao Cui Ke couldn’t sit still.
"What's wrong with our props?"
"Xiao Wu, don't take our money and kill our project!"
This Xiao Cui speaks too passionately.
Can this kind of thing be pointed out directly in front of the person concerned?
Isn’t this pointing at Wu Di’s nose and scolding him for picking up the bowl to eat and then putting the bowl down to scold his mother?
"Do you understand? We are still discussing props."
"It's overturned!"
Wu Di is used to it. Whenever he is about to be unlucky, this system will jump out and cause him trouble.
If things go on like this for a long time, it still can't change this garrulous problem, so he might as well wear it back.
I just don’t know when and what month I will be deported. Will there be interest on those huge debts?
2 billion!
By then, why don’t you want it to be 2.1 billion?
Oh my god!
It’s not worth the price even if Wu Di is sold!
The point is, no one wants to buy it.
There is market but no price, a great tragedy in the world.
"Master Cui, I definitely don't mean this."
"The efforts of the prop team are obvious to all, and no one has any objections."
He glanced at Gu Mei, and Director Gu immediately nodded, quite cooperative.
Everything will be prosperous if the family is harmonious.
The same goes for a crew. A harmonious crew can easily produce high-quality films. On the contrary, a crew that makes a lot of noise often only attracts the attention of the outside world.
As for the actual quality of the movie, I’m afraid no one cares.
"Then what did you mean just now?"
"Our prop team only makes props and is not responsible for filming. How much money can we waste?"
"Our personnel are all fixed, and the entire props team only has a dozen or so people. If you want to say, it's you, Wu Di, who is wasted, isn't it?"
Hoho!
What does it mean to shoot oneself in the foot? Xiao Cui finally got the handle!
Xiao Cui’s beard is standing up, he is so proud!
Wu Di seems to be aware of this problem.
Huh?
It seems that what Xiao Cui said makes sense.
"How about I quit the prop team?"
Originally, he was a layman, so there seemed to be nothing wrong with him.
"Forget it!"
"I only spent 20,000 yuan to treat you. Even if I treat you, how much money can I save?" Jianbing pressed him down. This kid is talking nonsense!
Put the rice bowl on the table!
"Jianbing is right."
"If you want to save money, this is really not a long-term solution."
Gu Mei was trying to save Pancake, and Wu Di knew it very well, but her words made Xiao Cui angry.
Wu Di felt that Xiao Cui's eyes were very hostile.
Brother!
If this damn system hadn't added new tasks, I really wanted to quit the prop group.
But it doesn’t work!
I want to make two million!
Although twenty thousand is not much, it is still meat!
"Since you don't mean that, then please explain clearly what you mean!"
Xiao Cui crossed his arms across his chest, feeling as if if you said anything that dissatisfied me, I would pull out all your hair.
"Master Cui misunderstood."
"I'm not saying that the prop team's business is not superb, nor that the prop masters are not serious. I just think that we can reduce some of the prop production."
"Since our focus in the future will not be on war scenes, the scenes will no longer be so big. For example, armor, swords, arrows, shields, and siege equipment can be reduced accordingly."
"On the contrary, although the quantity must be reduced, the quality must be improved. When the audience sees the detailed close-ups, they cannot find any mistakes."
"In this way, the quantity is reduced, the quality is improved, and we can save a lot of money."
Reduce equipment, but not people. This is the saving method Wu Di came up with.
The Master is a period film, and although the main parts were completed in-house at Hengdian, in terms of setting, relying on the existing resources of Hengdian, the crew saved a lot of expenses.
You know, if there were no ready-made residential buildings and walled city structures in Hengdian and they could be built independently, the investment in the movie Confucius would probably not be enough at two to three billion!
But even with these ready-made facilities, according to the development of the plot, the crew still needs to build a landscape that meets the requirements.
This part was originally the task of the setting team, and the props team must also actively cooperate to set up corresponding props in the interior and exterior scenes.
Now the intensity of war scenes has been greatly reduced. Since computer special effects are no longer needed, the prop team can also reduce part of the work accordingly.
Those ancient weapons and siege equipment that have not yet been completed can no longer be used anyway, so they can be stopped and no longer produced.
The reason why Wu Di suggested this is based on reality.
He had been working in the props team for a few days. Although he was just holding his hands behind his back, pointing here, and tapping there, he didn't seem to be doing anything serious.
But in fact, people have been observing.
He still knows the situation of the prop team very clearly.
Unlike many groups, the work of the props group starts almost at the same time as the official filming crew.
So far, the props team has only completed less than half of its work, mostly focusing on the props needed for interior scenes.
Weapons such as ancient pens and inks, bamboo slips, etc. were only started on the day Wu Di joined. The overall quantity is not large, and it is completely late to stop work now.
This is completely different from the scenery and costume groups, where most of the things they make are prepared early in the morning.
The money has been spent and it will be hard to recover.
Even if you don’t use these things now, you won’t be able to get back the money you spent.
The purpose of saving cannot be achieved at all.
What to do?
We can only start with the money that has not yet been spent.
When Wu Di expressed his opinion, Gu Mei remained silent, but her expression became more and more relaxed.
Obviously I support Wu Di’s statement.
"Director Gu, what Xiao Wu said makes sense. We can indeed save a lot of money on props, but I think you still need to consider which part can be saved and which part must be kept." At this moment of silence, everyone
Master Bao spoke.
Gu Mei sighed deeply and turned to Xiao Cui.
Before she spoke, Xiao Cui understood her intention.
Come on!
He is the unlucky one again.
"Since the director also means this, I have no objection."
"However, the props that have been made must not be given up. They must be put to use. These are all our efforts."
Needless to say?
The money for the things that have been made has already been spent, and it cannot be exchanged for money, so of course it is reserved for use!
"And when the director wants to delete props, I have to be there!"
