Zhang Jiuliang's joining is what everyone hopes to see.
Hai Da Pang and the crew of "Mood Inn" hope that she can fill the vacancy of the role.
Li Youqing hopes that she can enter the entertainment industry and become his ally to share the pressure from Jiangbei.
Jiang Bei hopes that she can become the last link in the whole plan, making the film worse and increasing the chance of being thrown off the streets.
Even Liangliang himself hopes to earn a generous salary through this movie and live out his gambling addiction in the movie.
But everyone seems not to realize that Liangliang, who is making a movie for the first time, will frequently make mistakes.
For example, his eyes will look at the camera involuntarily, sometimes he will accidentally step out of the camera, and even forget his lines.
When reading the lines, he was like a machine without emotion, very stiff.
During filming, his body movements were stiff and his expression was unnatural.
Not only that, because of her, Li Youqing's filming status on this day was affected, and his performance was a mess.
Even the king of bad movies, Big Fatty Hai, saw the problem and shook his head repeatedly, saying: "I'm here for now. Let's rest for the night and get ready for filming tomorrow."
"I'm really sorry..." Liangliang scratched his head and apologized to everyone.
Everyone still liked this little girl very much, and she was a pure newcomer, so no one blamed her.
Even Li Youqing kept a good attitude today because he wanted to win her over.
"Brother, how was my performance today?" While Li Youqing went to change clothes, Liangliang ran to Jiangbei and asked.
Jiang Bei, who had been following Liangliang's filming all day, heard this, touched her little head, and praised her: "You're doing very well, keep up the good work."
"Hehe..." Liangliang giggled and said sheepishly: "Actually, none of what I did today was deliberately staged. I really can't act."
nonsense.
If acting can be natural for the first time, how can those experienced actors survive?
"Just keep it this way."
"Okay!"
…
In the next few days, Jiangbei carefully observed the conditions at the filming site every day.
Liangliang's operation is still very stable. Although she no longer leaves the camera and subconsciously looks at the camera, she is still awkward when telling the lines, and her facial expression is extremely stiff. The problem can be seen at a glance.
Hai Da Pang is worthy of the title of the king of bad movies. As long as Liangliang's performance is not very bad, he will simply choose to 'pass' and enter the next round of filming.
However, Li Youqing was very dissatisfied, thinking that the reshoots with Liangliang were far different from the previous scenes when Yang Ziyan was here.
But after all, she is just a heroine. On the set, she still has to respect the director's decision, so she can only choose to obey.
As a result, the quality of the film can be said to have dropped significantly, almost reaching the 4.0 standard for bad films.
Jiang Bei was so satisfied with this that he once again decided to increase the amount of wine he drank every day, from one and a half bottles to two bottles!
But after all, it is only two bottles of wine, and I will feel a little dizzy after drinking this wine. Fortunately, I don’t have to do anything at the end of the day, I can just lie on the rocking chair and relax.
Looking at the blue sky, Jiang Bei drank some wine and ate peanuts, and gradually imagined a beautiful picture in his mind.
But before the screen opened, a message came on the phone. When I took it out, I found it was from Ji Yingzi.
"Boss, the movie has initially entered post-production, but the special effects company said that if we want to complete all the special effects for the entire film and make it more sci-fi, the remaining funds we have are not enough to support it. So I ask the boss if we can
Invest a little more?”
Li Youqing has graduated from the Blue Film and Television Academy, which also means that the pre-production of "Blue Fortress" has been completed, and the next thing to do is special effects production.
The special effects producer Guo Jiangbei said hello in advance, so the post-production of this film will go to the digital special effects company in which he has a stake, which can be regarded as a way to keep the money from outsiders and make some extra money for himself.
But making extra money doesn't mean he wants to make this movie a success.
On the contrary, failure of the movie is the result he wants to see.
What's more, he doesn't have the money to invest more now.
Of the 130 million he earned at the beginning, he spent 100 million to invest in movies and 20 million to invest in digital special effects.
Later, I earned another 80 million, but after paying taxes, I only got 64 million, so my total assets were back to 80 million.
It cost 10 million to buy Yihe Film and Television Company, invest 10 million for the company's normal operations, and invest another 8 million to film "Mood Inn".
In the end, he only had 52 million assets left.
The money seems to be a lot, but if you throw it into the special effects, it will be like wasting money, and you can only hear a sound.
Therefore, it is definitely impossible to increase this investment, and there is no ability to invest.
Thinking of this, Jiang Bei shook his head and typed back: "The funds have been difficult recently and I can't spend more money for special effects. Otherwise, we will produce it according to the standard of 100 million."
After the message was sent, Ji Yingzi quickly replied: "The standard of 100 million is too low. The special effects produced will be the same as the domestic 50-cent special effects. It will definitely not work."
Jiang Bei's head was already dizzy at this time. His head was spinning when he looked at the phone. He just wanted to end this topic quickly. He closed his eyes and squinted for a while, then replied: "I really can't continue to inject capital here. See if you can."
Go get some somewhere else."
After sending it, he put the phone on the small bench aside, closed his eyes and fell asleep.
On the other side, Ji Yingzi was speechless when she saw Jiang Bei's reply.
This boss's attitude is really free and easy. He didn't even care about a movie that cost 100 million to make, and even asked her to attract investment.
What if she doesn't pull?
Are you just going to spend 50 cents on special effects to make this science fiction blockbuster?
Isn’t that just waiting to lose money?
You must know that science fiction movies are different from other types of movies. What really attracts audiences in science fiction movies is the special effects. The sense of futuristic science fiction, the vast starry sky, and the sense of reality that makes people immerse themselves in it are the other countless science fiction movies.
The existence of audience obsession.
Can fifty-cent special effects create that kind of feeling?
No doubt a joke.
It's just that investors can be indifferent, but Ji Yingzi cannot act on impulse.
As probably her first science fiction film to be released, "Wandering Blue" has been her hope for more than ten years.
So, she didn't allow the movie to fail.
Since we cannot fail, we naturally have to find ways to continue investing.
Among the people she knew, there was only one person who had the ability to inject capital and met the conditions.
New Year's Eve!
…
It’s still that spicy hotpot shop.
The senior sisters sat together eating and talking.
"Have you been very prosperous as a singer recently?" Ji Yingzi said casually while eating the vermicelli.
Since this summer's song "The Wind Rises" gave Suixi's singing career a new lease of life, she immediately produced a new album "The Wind Rises".
This album, which includes "The Wind Rises" and ten premium songs, has achieved remarkable sales results once it was released. It has achieved double platinum sales (2 million), which has given her a firm foothold in her singing career. It is also a rare success in the entertainment industry.
A successful person who 'acts well and sings well'.
I have achieved success in every field of my career. I am naturally in a good mood on New Year's Eve. I heard this and replied with a smile: "Senior Sister's movie will be released soon. Maybe I can soar to the sky with this movie."
, to become a famous science fiction director in China."
"Please change it into an affirmative sentence." Ji Yingzi was as confident as ever. She picked up a tissue and wiped the corners of her mouth and said, "Senior sister, I want to give you an opportunity to make money. Do you want it?"
"Senior sister, I don't dare to ask for the opportunity." Sui Xi blew the soup in the spoon and joked.
"That's not up to you. I don't have enough funds for the post-production special effects of the movie, and my boss doesn't plan to continue pursuing the project. Since you got the script, you should pay for the rest of the cost."
Sui Xi raised his eyebrows when he heard this and asked, "Mr. Jiang, don't you plan to pursue the investment?"
"Well, I don't know what he means." Ji Yingzi took a big bite of a ball and said vaguely.
Sui Xi picked up the soup at will, frowning slightly, thinking about this problem.
Mr. Jiang does not pursue investment, and logically speaking, he should not.
After all, the movie has been filmed, so he must understand the principle of striving for perfection.
What's more, the script itself is not bad, but as long as the special effects are done well, the possibility of losing money is basically impossible.
In this case, why would anyone give up pursuing the investment?
Unless there is something unspeakable?
Suddenly, an idea came to her mind and she asked: "If you want to continue to invest, how much more money do you need to invest?"
After hearing this, Ji Yingzi pondered for a moment and replied: "At least 200 to 300 million is needed."
really.
The reason was found.
The subsequent follow-up investment was too large. Judging from Mr. Jiang's current wealth, it was obvious that he could not afford such a large investment.
Mr. Jiang must have insufficient funds, so he has no way to continue pursuing investment.
In fact, a movie with a total investment of three to four billion, even if you have money, you don’t dare to invest all of it...
After all, no one knows whether the movie will make money.
"Did Mr. Jiang just say that he doesn't intend to pursue the investment?" Sui Xi thought for a while and asked.
"Um."
Ji Yingzi responded softly, took a sip of fruit tea, and said: "Well, he asked me to raise investment myself. I guess it means that if I can't raise it, I will do post-production according to the standard of 100 million and 50 cents for special effects, as long as the cost can be recovered."
"Oh..." Sui Xi nodded thoughtfully, lost in thought.
Ji Yingzi glanced at it and was about to complain a few words, but when she thought that she still expected her to invest, she held it back.
"Okay! I'll invest 100 million in this movie, and I'll help you find investors for the rest." Sui Xi thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to get involved.
"Tsk, tsk, I thought even if you agreed, you would just help attract investment." Ji Yingzi said a little surprised.
Sui Xi smiled and replied: "If you can make money, why not make it?"
"You believe me so much?" Ji Yingzi raised her eyebrows and asked doubtfully.
Sui Xi shook his head and smiled without saying a word.
