It seems that the local departments have learned a lot from this gap. Although this gap is not their fault, they have every reason to gain this wisdom.
"There's nothing we can do about it. That ancient house is indeed the most suitable for our shooting requirements. Shooting is about to start now, and we don't have time to look for other places."
"We are now under the control of others and there is no good way."
"In this way, we have suffered a hidden loss, but now we make rectifications according to their requirements. We will build wherever they allow us to build, and we will make changes wherever they need to be demolished."
Right, fully comply with their requests, this can't be wrong.
There's no way they can still find trouble.
Lao Li was very embarrassed, giving in like this? This was not Lao Zhang's style, so he continued to ask: "Is that all?"
"We have invested a lot in the early stage. If we make all the rectifications as they say now, all that money will be wasted."
This is what Lao Li is most worried about.
In fact, time and face are all trivial matters. I spent a lot of money but couldn't use it. Now I have to re-build the scene, which is another repeated expense.
The expenses here are not simply one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, but millions, or even more.
How to explain to investors?
What's more, the crew is now under the control of others. If investors don't give money, at least they won't approve additional money, how can they use the money to build new scenes?
money!
money!
Or money!
In the final analysis, all difficulties come down to this one word.
You see, the difficulties imposed by the local departments can be overcome. After all, they did not say not to borrow ancient houses, nor did they say they would not allow any construction. They just need to meet their requirements.
These can be changed, and time can also be freed up. Lao Zhang can catch up when he can take pictures, and be faster.
In addition, you can also adjust the order of shooting. Whichever side is set up can be photographed first. There is no problem at all.
Only with this money, can Lao Zhang still supplement it by himself?
Of course not, and there is no such rule. Of course, if he can bear it, this will of course be a great thing for Lao Li.
However, if you think about it, you will know, how could Lao Zhang give money?
So what?
Should we let Lao Li pay for it?
This is a bit unkind. He is an executive producer and not a formal producer. In the final analysis, he is just working for Lao Zhang and the producer.
There is not much difference from the other cast members.
But who is the producer?
In an instant, an idea suddenly flashed through Lao Li's mind: their movie also had a producer!
After this movie is made, who owns the copyright?
Who does all the proceeds belong to?
Logically speaking, of course you are the investor, so since the benefits belong to you, the risks should naturally be borne by you.
"Old Zhang, the producer of our movie is no longer Xiao Zhang. Don't you know the new one very well?"
"Otherwise, talk to him?"
New producer?
yes!
Why did you forget this important person?
"All right!"
"You are keeping an eye on the scene, and you must do your job well. You are not afraid of making certain sacrifices. You are also an experienced person, and you can handle these things well."
If it can be handled, it can be handled. After all, even if the budget is overrun now, it is only in the early stages, and the crew still has a lot of funds.
It can fully support the current construction work. Generally speaking, even if a movie seriously overruns the budget, this problem will not be exposed in the early stage.
After all, the crew had sufficient funds at that time, and usually in the middle and later stages, various problems would arise one after another.
Investors are gradually unable to hide it, and additional investment is often a required operation.
If you don’t continue to invest money, what will happen?
If it does not continue, it means that the film will not be profitable. If it cannot make money, then the previous investment will be in vain and you will not be able to get back a penny.
So we can only continue to gamble, continue to invest, and then strive to achieve better results in the subsequent release stage in the hope of making up for the losses.
This is of course very risky, but for the expected benefits, this risk has to be taken, there is no other way.
Otherwise, you will have to watch your investment go down the drain. Can you bear this?
Of course you can't bear it, so you can only be trapped.
Therefore, in fact, those who can participate in film investment, and can also participate in large-scale film investment, are all invisible good people.
Although it is said that no one is a businessman or a traitor, and everyone hopes to make money before doing this, but before making money, film investors also need to take a lot of risks.
There are even cases where the company was so cooperative that it gave the crew money as soon as it was offered to them, which brought down their own company!
Therefore, whether this matter is considered a major event or not is up to the investors.
So this investor...
Of course it is Ms. Ranmasanti, and she, as Lao Zhang’s new partner, became the sole producer of the new movie.
This is a very heavy burden. After all, although Ramashanti is very capable, this is the first time she has officially set foot in the domestic entertainment film industry.
She is not that familiar with the market here. In the previous movies, she only focused on investment and did not care about the specific operations, so this problem has not been exposed.
But this time, as a highly qualified investor and major financier, Ms. Lan has never appeared on the set so far.
First, as a prospective in-law, Ms. Lan trusts Lao Zhang very much. She believes in the professionalism of Lao Zhang and his team.
In addition, he is really incapable of doing anything else. Moreover, since the scale of her company has expanded infinitely, she rarely worries about those specific matters and only focuses on demonstrating the feasibility of the project and making reasonable investments.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Specific operations are handled by corresponding executive producers.
When it comes to Lao Zhang’s movie, it’s naturally Lao Li’s job.
However, Lao Li can only be responsible for the specific implementation. When it comes to paying for it, he has to ask Ms. Lan for help.
Now it seems that this matter can no longer be hidden.
After all, rebuilding the facilities is a huge expense. This movie is a huge production and investment that can be seen by the naked eye, and the investment in the future will definitely not be small.
The possibility of saving money is almost non-existent, and there is no need to take chances.
So, even though we are not at the end of our rope yet, we should still say hello to investors in advance.
Not out of benevolence or rules, but because we still need to count on her follow-up investment. If she doesn't report it in time, where will the subsequent investment come from?
It can’t be a major change project!
Lao Zhang grabbed the phone and was very hesitant.
He finally remembered the big financier of the new movie!
correct!
It has been replaced now!
Became Ms. Lan!
It’s no wonder that Lao Li is a little constrained and has never been embarrassed to mention this matter to him. Lao Zhang has a weird temper and is stubborn. He also has a little bit of the neurotic bad temper that is unique to people who engage in art.
All in all, he is very proud of his talents and doesn't care much about money and other mundane things. If you ask him, he won't care.
However, this matter was easy to handle in the past.
Old Zhang doesn’t care, there is Xiao Zhang!
At that time, Xiao Zhang was very focused and conscientious on Lao Zhang's movies from beginning to end.
With a highly cooperative investor like Xiao Zhang, Lao Li's pressure as an executive producer has been reduced a lot.
But now, Xiao Zhang is gone and Xiao Lan is here. Although they had met once before, Lao Li knew that Ms. Lan supported Lao Zhang's new movie purely because of their personal relationship.
For example, if you want money, you have to let Lao Zhang do it.
He, Lao Li, is no good, he doesn't have the face.
However, Lao Li is not good at it, and neither is Lao Zhang!
Why did Ranmasanti call suddenly today?
Was it really unintentional?
impossible!
Although Ramashanti didn't say it clearly on the phone, the meaning was still very clear, and she already knew the details of the matter in detail.
Moreover, she also knew that Lao Zhang did not know about it now.
So, how did Ms. Lan get the news?
Just now, Lao Zhang confirmed with Li Kuan that it was not him who revealed it, so who was it?
This would be very embarrassing.
Although Lao Zhang stated in advance that he had no knowledge of the matter and was not present at the scene, it was very troublesome when it came to money issues.
Will Ms. Lan suspect that Lao Zhang is hiding something on purpose and intends to kill him first and then show off? It’s not that Lao Zhang is overly concerned or timid. In fact, this amount of money is not a small amount.
When Ms. Lan was already suspicious, he failed to take the initiative to explain before Ms. Lan got the news, which was enough to make investors dissatisfied.
No investor can allow his money to be spent in an unknown way, no one is a fool, and no one’s money is blown by the strong wind.
How to explain this?
It is conceivable that since Ms. Lan was able to make this call, it means that she has become suspicious and already knows that the movie will exceed the budget before it officially starts shooting.
It seems that the only choice is to sacrifice that person!
right!
That's the man!
Wu Di, who was doing physical training in the gym, suddenly received a call from his old father-in-law, which made him instinctively feel that something was wrong.
So, he decisively pressed the button!
Yes!
Although he was a very respectful and important prospective father-in-law, Wu Di hung up the phone ruthlessly.
Didn't get it connected at all.
"Boss Wu, can you do this? This is Lao Zhang, a famous director and your old father-in-law." Han Jingjing reminded her kindly, but Wu Di didn't appreciate it.
I picked up a towel and wiped my sweat, and added some energy drinks.
"It's not a good thing anyway. I can't just be there when you call me. I'm a busy man anyway."
Han Jingjing was confused: Boss Wu, are you not hallucinating?
Are you busy now?
The fact is that given Wu Di's popularity, his current workload is completely out of proportion. Which popular male star can still work out here as leisurely as he does, and even go to the Flower, Bird, Fish and Insect Market for a walk if he has nothing to do.
lock up.
Boss Wu's day is really a day of rest, there is no adulteration at all.
Facing such an unmotivated boss, Han Jingjing seemed to be at ease. After all, she was also an unmotivated assistant.
Wu Di's laziness gave her the opportunity to be lazy. Why wouldn't she do it?
"But boss, are you really planning to open a studio?"
After hesitating for a long time, Jingjing finally asked. What should I say? As a small assistant, she still had no special contribution, but she knew the kind of person who was holding him back. It seemed that it was not her turn to ask this question.
But, she was indeed extremely curious.
This is a major matter related to her career future. If she succeeds, she will really officially join the industry and become a career woman!
Such an opportunity is so rare, how could you miss it?
She didn't want to see that Boss Wu was just talking about it for fun and didn't take it seriously at all. Maybe it was just a whimsical statement without a real plan at all.
If that's the case, she will be even more disappointed than Wu Di himself.
"You said that, I do have this intention, but no matter how anxious I am, I have to wait until I finish filming Lao Zhang's movie."
"Look at me, I have already started making preparations. I estimate that the production will be launched this month. Time is so tight, how can I prepare for this?"
"You also know how difficult it is to open a studio. It can't be opened with just a stroke of a pen."
To be honest, he hasn't even touched his horoscope yet, so he himself is not in a hurry. Unexpectedly, Han Jingjing is actually quite interested.
That means she must have her own reasons.
"Why are you so interested in this studio?"
"I see, you are not a career-oriented woman." Wu Di joked, but his eyes were very serious.
Jingjing said perfunctorily: "Why else? As an assistant, of course I have to care about what the boss wants to do. I'm still waiting for Boss Wu to take me to fly with him!"
"to be honest."
Han Jingjing: This person is really the number one disgraceful person.
Having no other choice, she made up her mind and told the truth.
"Isn't this all because of the big devil Han Jing?"
"He has been urging me to go back to school before, saying that I am uneducated and have no skills. If I want to be in the entertainment industry, I will either become an actress, but I am not qualified and have nothing to do with big beauties, so I still
It’s time to go back to school honestly.”
"On this point, I also agree with your brother."
Han Jingjing glared at him and showed a very "friendly" smile. Wu Di stopped talking. Good guy, this is a smile hiding a knife!
He can't afford to provoke him.
So, after Wu Di compromised, Han Jingjing continued: "He said, if I want to continue to be in the entertainment industry, I have to make some achievements and do a good job, otherwise it will be bragging and ineffective.
actual."
"You know, my brother has always looked down on me and thought I was trash, so I just wanted to show him. The more he said I couldn't do it, the more I had to show him how to behave.
