Chapter One Hundred and Seventy-One: The wicked trick.
After the crew wrapped up filming, Zhao Mengru went back to the capital without staying much. Han Fei didn't pay much attention at first, but then he realized that it was already January and it was almost the end of the year.
"Tomb Raiders" took a total of four months from preparation to filming. However, this drama has a large number of scenes that require post-production special effects. It will definitely not be released years ago.
The college has also been on vacation. It seems that thanks to Tao Yuehua's special approval, their vacation has been extended repeatedly. Han Fei and the others did not attend a single day of class during the entire first semester of their senior year.
Han Fei and Jiang Qinghou sent Qin Ming away and stayed in Pengcheng to focus on the post-production. This is what the special effects company is like. If you don't have anyone on site, what they produce will definitely "shock" you.
There is nothing to add. If you are not satisfied with the re-do, you will be asked to increase the budget. If you are not willing to increase the budget, then this is the only way. Can you understand the fifty-cent special effects?
Of course, there are many special effects that are actually very good, but it seems that the effect is fake at first glance. The main reason is that too much green screen is used. Some film and television companies claim to be in line with international standards. Almost all scenes are in
It was shot under a green screen in a studio, in fact, just to save money on real-life shooting. In this way, the photos from beginning to end will naturally give people a very fake look. No matter how good your post-production special effects are, they will still be unreliable.
There is no way to change it.
Therefore, Han Fei spent a lot of effort on this point. The prop team invested 1.5 million in the four months of filming, which is equivalent to one-tenth of the production cost.
The original budget of 10 million yuan was definitely not enough for the actual post-production. "Bird Studio" also had an income of more than 3 million yuan in the past six months. If Penguin Pictures did not agree to additional investment, he would invest in his own name.
To Han Fei's expectation, the producer in charge of Penguin Pictures had an extremely good attitude and took the initiative to apply for additional investment from the company, which was really touching.
But what surprised Han Fei the most was that he didn’t go home for the New Year this year, and Dong Jie didn’t say a word, or even made a phone call. Moreover, when Han Fei called back, he always felt that something was wrong with Dong Jie’s voice.
But Han Xiao kept patting his chest and said that he would take care of his wife by himself and asked him not to worry so much and to work peacefully without going back.
After hanging up the phone, Han Fei always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't remember it, so he could only continue to immerse himself in work.
During the Chinese New Year, Han Fei was still busy. When Yang Kexin came to Pengcheng, the two lingered for several hours. Yang Kexin had to rush to the next event and flew away in a hurry, which made Han Fei feel unbearable.
.
Time has quietly arrived in February. The temperature in Pengcheng has dropped, but only a thin coat is still enough to keep warm. Han Fei and Jiang Qinghou patted each other on the back and celebrated the completion of "Tomb Raiders".
, and several employees of the special effects company around them also hugged each other and cried. For them, this period of time was simply a nightmare memory. They hope that the company will not accept such serious customers who don’t pay any more in the future.
When the refined version of the film is released, Penguin Pictures, as a partner, will naturally report it. Just as Han Fei thought, CEO Chen Wu did not come to see the film. He probably almost forgot about this small project.
.
But it doesn't matter, the relevant leaders of Penguin Pictures and Penguin Video came to the movie screening. Han Fei and Jiang Qinghou looked at each other, and they were unusually nervous.
As the lights in the screening room went out, everyone's eyes were focused on the curtain in front of them.
At the beginning of the chapter, Han Fei, the bloody corpse of Biaoziling, entered the scene directly, mainly to avoid the risk of review. After Han Fei interrupted his monologue, the screen changed, and an antique shop appeared in everyone's field of vision.
As the camera moves, behind an antique clock, a young man appears on the screen. This person is naturally Han Fei. The whole process uses several camera shots. In Jiang Qinghou’s words, this appearance is absolutely
Amazing enough.
The management of Penguin Pictures and Penguin Video couldn't help but nod after seeing it. They had to admit that Han Fei was indeed good-looking and had first-rate temperament. The moment he gently closed the Tomb Raider Notebook, there seemed to be light in his eyes.
It seems that just this appearance is enough to capture a large number of female audiences.
In fact, the management of Penguin Pictures and Penguin Video may not necessarily make movies and TV series, but they must understand the market. If they can maintain the quality of the beginning, this film may really have hope of becoming popular.
The subsequent plot progressed very quickly. Han Fei, his third uncle and his party came to the corpse cave. They saw a corpse as big as a basin, a thousand-year-old female corpse, and a strange bronze hexagonal bell. All of this is enough to make people addicted.
Han Fei glanced at the time and turned on the lights in the screening room again. After the light was restored, the management staff present all made a gesture of covering their faces with their hands. They seemed to be still silent in the corpse cave.
"Dear leaders, I think it's almost time. How about we go have a casual dinner first and chat while eating?" Han Fei smiled and made an invitation gesture.
When the executives looked at this, they realized that it was already one o'clock in the afternoon. They couldn't help but opened their mouths in surprise, as if they wanted to say, why did time fly by so fast?
During the banquet, Han Fei and Jiang Qinghou toasted frequently, and the atmosphere was harmonious. However, some executives from Penguin Video said regretfully: "You put your heart into this drama, and it is indeed very good to watch, but there is one thing.
Your fatal flaw is that it is too short, with only twelve episodes. You can’t update one episode a day for two weeks, which will not help Penguin Video’s value-added business..."
The implication is simply that if you cannot help Penguin Video attract members, it will be difficult to obtain Penguin Video’s promotional resources.
Jiang Qinghou also fell silent when he heard this. This is indeed a difficult problem, and there is no solution at all.
Han Fei thought for a while and suddenly thought of a bad move: "Mr. Wang, what you said is too absolute. I have a way to make Penguin Video make huge profits from it. However, you have to promise me first. Once my method works,
You can’t be stingy with these promotional resources.”
"Oh?" Mr. Wang is the general manager of the operations department and Director Wei's immediate boss. Hearing what Han Fei said, he became interested. Compared with traditional industries, the leaders of Internet companies are generally younger and easier to work with.
Accept new things.
"Then you should tell me. If you get to the point, why not give you a homepage recommendation for this film? But if you don't get to the point, I won't make it difficult for you. Just drink up this bottle of wine. Why?
Sample?"
The muscles on Jiang Qinghou's face trembled. The bottle of wine in his hand still had at least half a catty. With Han Fei's drinking capacity, he would probably lie down immediately after drinking it.
But Han Fei stood up unhurriedly, drank a drink first, and then said: "Actually, it's very simple. Penguin Video now implements a membership system. Recharge members can watch a few episodes in advance, or on-demand in advance.
If you collect three yuan, you can watch the finale in advance?"
After saying this, the whole private room was silent until there was a clatter, the wine glass in Mr. Wang's hand fell, and he slapped the table: "Oh, what a great idea, why didn't I think of it?"
After speaking, he didn't even bother to eat, and rushed back to the company to convene a meeting. After Mr. Wang left, the other senior executives also left one by one.
"Damn it, Old Han, it's you who can think of such damaging moves." Jiang Qinghou laughed and cursed.
Just as Han Fei was about to retort, his eyelids twitched and he quickly hissed: "Shh, let people know if I am still alive?"
