"Brother Wen is right. If you want to achieve satisfactory results, you won't have to pay for three or four million!" Tang An nodded and said.
In fact, compared to animals such as lions and tigers, the cost of special effects production for sharks is relatively low.
After all, a shark has a smooth body with no hair or limbs. The most important things are its teeth, mouth and eyes.
As long as you do these three aspects well, you can handle it even if your movements are a little stiff.
"Then where are you going to get these three to four million?" Xu Jinglei became more and more curious about Tang An's plan and asked.
"Looking for China Film Academy!" Tang An said with a smile.
Xu Jinglei was a little disappointed. She didn't expect that this was Tang An's idea. She advised, "You'd better be mentally prepared. Although China Film Group is supporting domestic directors, you are not from a major studio, nor do you have a professional background."
, the most important thing is that you are too young, no director of the China Film Production Department will hand over three to four million in funds to you!"
Tang An shook his head, "I didn't say go now. I plan to finish shooting the movie, cut it out, and then go to China Film Studio. If they have the vision, it shouldn't be difficult."
"And I'm not asking for cash, I'm just asking China Film to help me do special effects. The money will still fall into their pockets, and it will be converted into a certain investment ratio!"
Xu Jinglei's eyes lit up, "This is also a way, it is equivalent to using this investment to pay wages to the special effects department!"
Although this will greatly dilute Tang An's share ratio, after all, the gap between 30,000 and 3 million is too big, but Tang An is the only one in the entire crew. The cost, how many people are hired, and the loss of equipment are not decided by him.
If you make an account and report 500,000 yuan, China Film will not be too suspicious.
After all, no one would have thought that 30,000 yuan could be used to make a movie.
Besides, his film was originally not for money, but for fame. Being famous in the entertainment industry means everything.
This fame is not the popularity of those so-called traffic stars later. Popularity can only last for a while. I don’t know how many traffic stars quickly become famous and then quickly disappear from the audience’s sight.
Later, Ning Hao is a typical example. He started to become famous after filming "Crazy Stone", and this fame directly made "Crazy Racing" have a box office of over 100 million.
Speaking more broadly, Zhang Yimou is the most famous. "Three Guns" and "Thirteen Hairpins" were scolded as S..., but they were still huge box office hits.
No matter how bad Andy Lau's "Future Police" and "Dwelling in Fuchun Mountains" are, they still have a box office of 200 to 300 million yuan.
Once you become famous, countless investors will come to your door waving checks, and countless actors will beg you to appear in the show!
"Oh, by the way, can you lend me one of the crew's vans? Otherwise, these tools won't be able to pull it over!" Tang An said again.
"No problem. The crew will stay in Hengdian for a month for post-production. If there are any scenes that need to be reshot, they can just come back within a month!"
"Thank you!" Tang An said sincerely.
"There's nothing to thank you for. Huayijia has a great career and doesn't care about this thing. Even if you break it, it's okay if I report the damage. It just allows them to update the equipment!" Xu Jinglei smiled and didn't care.
"By the way, have you chosen the heroine? Do you want me to go to China Theater to help you find a few?"
"No, I can't afford to be a Chinese opera student. Don't forget that the total amount is more than 20,000 yuan. I found a pretty good girl in Hengdian. She was filming "The Family" with Tong Dawei and Sun Li, and she signed a contract with her.
Rong Xinda.”
In fact, there is no way to change the heroine's character to an 18-year-old girl. Slightly older female celebrities are not so easy to fool, and they have some qualifications. It is basically impossible to spend three to four thousand yuan, and they are young and have a good figure. There are not many suitable female celebrities (after all, they have to wear swimsuits).
Moreover, a young and beautiful girl wearing a bikini is trapped alone at sea, surrounded by sharks. How can she not arouse the protective desire of those men?
"Li Shaohong and Li Xiaowan? They have dealt with each other several times. Let's do this. I will go with you then!" Xu Jinglei thought for a while and said.
"Okay, I'm sorry to bother you!" Now is not the time to be pretentious. Yang Mi has received so many resources at such a young age. Rong Xinda has made it clear that he wants to support him. With Xu Xu, Jing Lei is even more confident!
...
Early the next morning, Tang An and Xu Jinglei rushed to the set of "Pink Family" to meet with Li Xiaowan.
"Li Xiaowan also worked from a scene recorder to a director step by step. This is very similar to your experience. If you tell me more about it later, maybe it will be effective!" Xu Jinglei kept reminding her on the way.
"She is a businessman now. The only thing that can impress her is the benefits, and everything else is just incidental!" Tang An shook his head. No one who can come up from the bottom is simple. Relying on feelings will not work at all. He only has one bargaining chip.
The absolute heroine of the movie!
For an 18-year-old actor, this was more tempting than anything.
"Are you really not going to apply for a film shooting permit?" Xu Jinglei said another key point.
"There is no way. Individuals cannot apply for filming permits. They must be in the name of the company, and the review cycle is as slow as 20 days. I don't have so much time, so I'll leave it to China Film Group. It's okay to film first and apply for the permit later!" Tang An said helplessly.
Although various certificates are required to shoot movies and TV dramas, the country is not strict about this aspect. In a few years, even the film shooting license will be cancelled, and individuals will be able to make movies.
"Then what if China Film doesn't invest?"
"Then try another company. If there is no one to invest, just keep it. When you have money later, find a job first!" Tang An spread his hands. Youth is his capital, and he can definitely afford to wait.
If in another five or six years, the domestic film market is maturing day by day, the pie is getting bigger and bigger, and a lot of capital is pouring in with valuable money, Tang An will be able to deceive a few scapegoats no matter what, even if it is to flatter himself Xiaomi There are also many wealthy people.
Later, the funding for Tang An's first independently directed film came from a wealthy man who had raised a small star.
But where can you find local tycoons to fool you now? It would be an understatement to describe the current domestic film industry as barren. Anyone with a discerning eye knows that except for a few large companies with overseas channels, most films are losing money, and some are even copied. You can't make any money back.
"It's not bad to find a company. It's best to work as an assistant director on a large-scale costume production. After all, blockbusters are different from small and medium-cost movies. Accumulate more experience and qualifications. And where is Jiang Wen? If his new film will not be If it's forbidden, it's also a good place to go." Xu Jinglei analyzed for Tang An.
"You don't have to think so much, not to mention I may not be able to succeed!" Tang An waved his hand and said with a smile.
"Having confidence is a good thing, but now we have to deal with the heroine first."
pa: Da Mi Mi’s figure is still pretty good, refer to Kojima (?)
