You Don’t Understand The Pain Of Being Popular - Chapter 141

In the studio.

Jiang Dongting stood with several staff members, worrying about the shooting.

“The budget for post-production is too tight.” The person in charge of the post-production team shook his head and sighed softly.

The person in charge is Fu Yandong, and he already has a mature team under him, which was specially recruited by Mo Youqian.

For the post-production special effects of movies, he can be said to be quite experienced.

He kept pressing the numbers on the calculator with his fingers, and silently calculated: “One billion, it sounds like a lot, but our crew has been stationed in the forest for so long, no matter it is in terms of manpower or equipment, it will cost money.”

“In addition, the follow-up publicity expenses will also be a lot…”

Jiang Dongting pondered for a moment: “What if all the expenses originally planned for publicity are transferred to special effects?”

Fu Yandong was slightly taken aback: “This… I’m afraid it won’t work, right?”

The publicity of a film determines its box office to a certain extent.

Whether it is promotional expenses or film arrangement expenses, enough must be reserved.

Jiang Dongting said: “Personally, I think the quality of the movie is the most important thing. Sister Liang didn’t do any promotion for her last movie, so she should agree to this proposal.”

Fu Yandong calculated in his mind, and nodded slightly: “In this case, the special effects cost is barely enough. However, it may still be difficult to make it as detailed as Hollywood.”

In fact, the investment in this movie is already considered very high.

But “Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas” is different from Hollywood blockbusters. There are only a few big scenes in Hollywood and only a few models, so of course they can be made very finely.

And in this movie, there are too many big scenes and too many places that require exquisite modeling. The grand world view is destined to require special effects everywhere.

“It would be great if we could invest more.” Fu Yandong couldn’t help but sighed softly.

Jiang Dongting was also a little helpless: “One billion, this is already the highest amount Sister Liang can give. She didn’t even ask for a paycheck, she just starred for free.”

Shan Hai Jing, this subject matter is too unpopular. Most investors are unlikely to invest in this kind of film.

However, the heroine of this movie is Yao Bianliang after all. For her golden brand, there should be investors who are willing to invest.

But in terms of price, I am afraid it will be difficult to negotiate.

Thinking of this, Jiang Dongting was also a little worried.

“If we want to make the special effects more refined, how many billions are we short?” Jiang Dongting asked.

“At least 300 million,” Fu Yandong thought for a while, “Of course, the more money spent on special effects, the better. It’s best to spend another 567.8 billion, and there is no cap!”

Jiang Dongting: “…”

Do you think this is a vegetable market to buy Chinese cabbage, how many more billions are there?

Is the investment so easy to get?

A full 300 million yuan is already a lot of money.

The overall investment of many films is only tens of millions. With a total investment of more than 300 million yuan, it is already considered a big production.

As for the movie “Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas”, the money spent on special effects alone needs several hundred million. This is simply a bottomless pit of burning money.

“Why don’t we discuss it with Sister Liang?” Dong Fu Yan said, “Sister Liang should also know that it is very difficult to make special effects with such a small amount of money. But as long as the special effects are done well, our movie’s box office will not worry about selling! Maybe, we can persuade her to invest another sum of money…”

Jiang Dongting had a bitter face: “Sister Liang is not only the leading role, but also the investor of this show, even half of the director of this show… From the beginning to the end, she didn’t get a penny. You let me Why are you licking your face and asking her for money?”

He paused, then looked at Fu Yandong: “If you want to go, you can go by yourself, I won’t go anyway.”

Fu Yandong: “…”

Well, he was too embarrassed to go.

The two stood in place, staring at each other, then fell silent.

“director!”

At this time, the voice of the staff sounded not far away.

The man hurriedly ran over from the other side, gasped for breath, took a moment to stand up straight.

“Over there in the forest…someone is coming.”

This deep mountain and old forest is deserted all year round. In order to be able to stay here safely, their crew also hired a team of bodyguards to protect everyone’s safety.

In addition, there are helicopters that drop supplies here every few days to ensure everyone’s daily needs.

Those who can pass by here are probably only wilderness survival enthusiasts, or adventurers who like thrills.

After their crew settled down here, they have encountered two or three waves of explorers, and they have experience in this situation.

“Someone just passed by, there’s nothing to make a fuss about.” Jiang Dongting frowned.

The staff shook their heads: “It’s not explorers, they came with the helicopter, and they need to find the director for urgent matters.”

He stared blankly at Shangjiang Dongting, thought about his words, and said slowly: “I heard what he said, it should be that he wants to invest.”

Jiang Dongting: “!”

Guys, investing?

Jiang Dongting froze in place, and after a while, his eyes suddenly lit up and sparkled.

They are worrying about the lack of funds for special effects. Look, isn’t this the time to come?

“Okay, you let him come over—oh no, I’ll come over now!”

———

After the helicopter landed, Yao Bianliang found that not only the staff who came to deliver the supplies, but also several other unfamiliar faces came this time.

Seeing Mo Yougan jumping off the plane, Yao Bianliang couldn’t help being a little puzzled.

“Mr. Mo, why are you here?”

Mo Youqian sighed: “Isn’t there no internet here? I brought you professionals to connect you to the internet.”

As he said, several masters behind him got off the plane one after another, picked up the wires and related equipment, and prepared to start the installation.

Yao Bianliang’s eyes lit up when he heard the words.

She thought that Mo Yougan was here as an investor for inspection, but she didn’t expect to bring such a gift.

Living in isolation is not good, not only can’t surf the Internet, but more importantly, she can’t keep abreast of internal entertainment trends.

The corners of Yao Bianliang’s lips twitched: “It’s just right, after I get connected to the Internet, I will be able to keep an eye on the entertainment industry all the time.”

When Mo Youqian heard this, his face became a little complicated.

“Don’t mention it,” he said, “Let’s not mention anything else for now. In short, because of the new policy issued by the higher authorities, I’m afraid I will earn several hundred million in the next period of time…”

Yao Bianliang was taken aback: “What?”

A new policy has been issued from above, and Mo Youqian just hit the gunpoint, so he wants to make a lot of money?

Seeing Mo Youqian’s sad expression, he patted him on the shoulder comfortingly: “Ah… let’s make our condolences go away.”

This is a bit too unlucky.

Yao Bianliang couldn’t help thinking that he seemed to have experienced the same predicament as Mo Youqian some time ago.

Push yourself and others, and the feeling of sympathy arises spontaneously.

After a pause, she couldn’t hold back her curiosity after all: “By the way, what project is going to give you money?”

Mo Youqian let out a breath slowly: “”Actors Training Camp” – because of the variety show restriction order, this variety show may make a lot of money.”

The variety show restriction order restricts 90% of variety shows, and 99% of talent show variety shows are resigned as a result.

It restricts so many contents, but it does not restrict the actor training camp alone.

Up to now, the actor training camp has become one of the only remaining variety shows.

This simply made Mo Youqian feel desperate.

Yao Bianliang: “…”

What the hell, actor training camp?

Hearing this name, Yao Bianliang suddenly woke up.

This incident seems to be not only related to Mo Youqian, but also to Yao Bianliang!

For some reason, Yao Bianliang suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

She sympathizes with Mo Youqian, it seems that she sympathizes a little too early…

According to the information revealed so far, it seems that her situation is not much better than that of Mo Yougan?

However, the actor training camp variety show is a thing of the past. Even if the show’s profit model improves, it shouldn’t have much impact on her.

What is really worrying is that the above policies are changing.

Yao Bianliang unscrewed the bottle cap and took a sip of mineral water.

She silently recalled the information she already knew, and for some reason, there was a feeling in her heart that the mountains and rains were about to come.

Immediately afterwards, in the next second, an excited voice from Jiangdong Pavilion sounded not far away.

“Sister Liang! Great, our crew finally has new investment!”

“puff-“

Yao Bianliang almost spit out a sip of water, followed by a series of coughing.

While putting away the mineral water, she looked at Jiang Dongting, who was running fast, in disbelief: “What did you say?”

She quietly hid in the deep mountains and old forests, well hidden, how could a sudden investment come out?

It doesn’t make sense!

Moreover, Yao Bianliang does not think that his film has high commercial value.

If you don’t lose money, you will burn the incense. As for making money, the possibility is very slim.

In this situation, are you still eager to invest?

For a moment, Yao Bianliang even suspected that this investor, like Mo Youqian, was planning to lose money.

System: “Host, what were we talking about just now…”

I just thought that it is impossible to drop investment from the sky, but in the next second, the investment fell from the sky.

Jiang Dongting had a delighted smile on his face: “Yes, the person who came was Mr. Huang from Huyi Company. He is very optimistic about our project and plans to invest 20 million.”

Yao Bianliang raised his head and took another sip of water, thinking silently, what investment value does his project have?

Apart from making money, she really couldn’t think of any other benefits.

Of course, the amount of 20 million is within the acceptable range. Compared with 1 billion yuan, this little money is drizzle, better than nothing

What really worries Yao Bianliang is not the amount of 20 million, but the development trend behind the 20 million.

Who knows if there will be countless more 20 million in the future after having one 20 million?

Another few tens of 20 million, although it may not be able to make money, but it is certain that the box office will exceed one billion.

Then how can she play!

However, there are systematic rules, and Yao Bianliang cannot prevent legitimate investment for no reason.

Therefore, if you want to avoid investment, the best way is to let the investor retreat.

She had to let them know that the project “Jiuzhou Mountains and Seas” is a bottomless pit, and it will definitely make people lose everything!

“Where is that Mr. Huang?” Yao Bianliang stood up and asked Jiang Dongting, “I’ll talk to him right now.”
