Time has come to mid-June, and all the scenes in the movie "Shark Beach" have ended, leaving only the last few aerial shots.
Tang An borrowed a hot air balloon and a pilot from a nearby beach resort.
Originally, aerial photography could be done directly with a drone equipped with a camera, but he only brought some of the most basic equipment from Hengdian, and did not dare to take any more high-end equipment.
After all, his relationship with Xu Jinglei and Jiang Wen is not that deep yet. A drone can cost tens of thousands. If it falls into the water and is equipped with a camera, he has no money to pay for it.
Among the things he borrowed, the most valuable thing was probably the Changhe van. This van was very sturdy and could not be damaged no matter how hard he climbed up the mountain.
To save money, he even uses digital cameras!
There was no way, although he had tried to reduce unnecessary shots as much as possible, but he had no money to buy film.
If the film is cheap, it has 36 frames per roll and 24 frames per roll. It is 1.5 seconds per roll. It costs at least five or six yuan. So it is 4 yuan per second and rounded up.
90 minutes, 5400 seconds, also costs 21,600 yuan.
Coupled with Yang Mi's acting skills, the film's success rate is less than 10%.
This is 261,000 yuan.
Including the extra lenses that will not be used later, the price will double.
Not to mention film development and post-production, it is simply unaffordable.
Digital cameras are much simpler and post-production is convenient, but the picture quality is slightly worse and there is no graininess.
However, it is difficult for ordinary viewers to tell the difference between the two. Coupled with professional post-production, the effect is not necessarily inferior to film.
The aerial photography was very simple. Tang An took two pictures at random. Even if you put them on the big screen, you can't see the faces clearly. They just served to enhance the atmosphere of the environment.
After saving the last shot, Tang An showed a hint of relief in his eyes, and a smile appeared on his tired face.
Tang An shouted at the empty beach with a loudspeaker, "I announce that "Shark Beach" is finished!"
"It's finished!" Yang Mi also shouted next to him. He was really tired of being soaked in the water during this period.
"Let's go, go back and tidy up, have a good meal tonight, sleep well, and I'll take you back to Hengdian early tomorrow morning!"
Tang An said hello and started to pack his things.
In the evening, Tang An spent 50 yuan from the remaining funds and asked the old village chief to buy some good food. A large table was filled with chicken, duck, and fish.
"Miss Xu, Mi Mi, thank you for your hard work this time, thank you for your help, thank you!"
After Tang An finished speaking, he drank all the wine in the cup.
"You're welcome, Director Tang. You are the one who has worked the hardest for more than a month!"
Xu Ruoyun followed up with a drink and looked at Tang An with eyes full of admiration.
He completed the filming of a feature-length movie alone without hiring any employees!
Regardless of the quality of the movie, based on this ability alone, Xu Ruoyun believes that Tang An's future is absolutely limitless.
"Director, you taught me how to shoot every scene over and over again. I also toast to you!"
Yang Mi then drank a cup of Coke.
After more than 40 days of non-stop filming, under Tang An's high demands, Yang Mi could clearly feel that her performance was becoming more and more natural. In the past, she could perform scenes in TV series with almost no adjustments at all.
Of course she knew that this was due to Tang An's patient guidance. At first, she almost imitated Tang An's movements.
"The finals banquet will be just for now. After the movie is released, I will host a celebration banquet at a five-star hotel, which will definitely satisfy you!"
"Then I wish Director Tang's movie a big hit in advance!" Xu Ruoyun said with a smile.
"Then am I going to become a big star? Like Zhou Xun!" Yang Mi said longingly.
"Of course, be prepared to be followed by reporters!" Tang An said with a smile.
"Hehehe~~"
The little girl giggled twice, immersed in the fantasy of becoming famous and unable to extricate herself.
A dinner party between a man and two women will not last long, and they will break up after half an hour.
Before going to bed, Tang An went to check if the car was locked. Inside was all his belongings, including the CDs that stored the movies.
He vaguely saw a figure in the yard, which almost startled Tang An. He breathed a sigh of relief after seeing the person clearly.
"What is Miss Xu thinking about when she's up so late?"
The sudden voice startled Xu Luoyun. He turned around and saw it was Tang An. He patted his chest gently, "Ah...it's Director Tang!"
"Miss Xu can't sleep?"
Tang An pulled the car door and made sure that all the windows on all sides were raised before he felt relieved.
Xu Ruoyun glanced at the van and asked with a smile, "Director Tang, don't you trust these equipments?"
Tang An sighed, "It's just this little fortune, what if I don't think better of it?"
Xu Ruoyun walked into the two films and stared at Tang An with a trace of curiosity in his eyes, "Actually, I have always had a question to ask Director Tang."
Tang An spread his hands and said, "Miss Xu, just say it."
"Director Tang must have spent all his savings on this film, right?"
"How to say?"
"These equipments are of the most common style and are a bit old. I think Director Tang is also wearing very ordinary clothes. He must not be very wealthy, otherwise I would even have to be the makeup artist to replace him!" Xu Ruoyun covered her mouth and smiled.
Tang An, who was exposed, didn't feel any embarrassment at all. He said calmly, "Funds are relatively tight. Miss Xu, please forgive me. I will replenish your salary after the movie is released!"
"However, the film has been successfully shot, and now we are waiting to do post-production!"
When he said this, Tang An concealed his undisguised smile. His first movie after returning was finally almost completed.
"Director Tang is so confident that he has put all his wealth on this movie?"
“Of course, if you don’t have confidence, you can only imagine what will come out!”
"What if the movie ends up losing money?"
"Then let's start over again. Youth is my capital. I can withstand failure!" Tang An said without thinking.
Hearing this, Xu Ruoyun's eyes flashed with sadness and he lowered his head slightly.
Tang An was keenly aware of her abnormality, "Miss Xu, is there something on your mind?"
"well!"
"President Li asked me to be prepared when he came here. I will hand over the work to Zhou Jia at the end of this year. From now on, I will only be Mi Mi's second agent!" Xu Ruoyun sighed and said dejectedly.
"Does that mean you become an assistant?"
"Almost!" Xu Ruoyun combed her hair and shook her head helplessly.
"The assistant is pretty good too. When Mi Mi becomes a big star in the future, your assistant will also get better!"
Tang An could only comfort her like this. Later, she, Zhou Jia, and Yang Mi founded a company in partnership. At its peak, the market value was 5 billion, which was considered a successful career.
