my crew is not human

Chapter 37

Immediately, Li Xianyun started working on the [-]-cost film.

The plot of this movie is super simple: it's a zombie road movie, a story about several people driving a car and encountering zombies on the road, and then running all the way to escape and fight zombies.

So Li Xianyun directly used the people in the company. Even the former boss Liu Yijiang Liu Fatty was pulled over to make a cameo appearance. He was killed by a zombie within 1 minute of his appearance, and then he became a zombie and bit other people.

Li Xianyun and Jiang Zheng also played a guest role as zombies.The easiest way to play a zombie is to just tilt your neck, walk staggeringly, grunt, and stretch your teeth and claws.

But in this way, the makeup requirements are relatively high, and the company did not have a makeup artist in the later stage, so Jiang Meier was recruited by him to be a makeup artist, and he gave her 3000 yuan, which was the largest single item of expenditure.
Li Xianyun squeezed manpower by the way and asked her to play the heroine.

Jiang Meier was very happy to find her to shoot a new play for the first time, and when she heard it, she invested a total of 1 yuan, and she almost didn't faint.

Are you here to oppress me?
The 1 yuan investment is mainly for venues, transportation, lunch boxes, makeup and a small amount of props, and nothing else.

Although the film doesn't have a big plot, but the small details are well done, Li Xianyun is dedicated to polishing himself, shooting a scene over and over again, don't look at the small cost, it's a cinema-like aura.

It took him ten days to finish the filming like this, and the actual cost was as high as 5000 yuan.

It's over budget!

It doesn't matter, I just said that I took it for 1 yuan, what can you do?

Others are exaggerating the cost, this time Li Xianyun did the opposite, and made a detailed cost and expenditure statement, 10872.4 yuan.

It is also unique to do what he does by making false accounts.

But let alone, everyone was very happy after the finale.

It is really rare to play once!
Li Xianyun was a little embarrassed, and said to Jiang Meier: "It was supposed to be filmed for three or four days, but it took ten days. I'm really embarrassed."

You are sorry that you are adding money.

Jiang Meier glanced at him: "Why do you want to make such a low-cost film?"

"Practice." Li Xianyun answered honestly.

Jiang Meier also guessed the answer: "Ordinary directors have made millions of movies, and they will basically not be like you... You are not bad, I am optimistic about you. I said, I will help this time, and you will have a chance next time." , should you take care of me?"

Li Xianyun nodded seriously: "I have a haunted house series behind me, are you interested?"

"What? Is this considered to be optimistic about me?" Jiang Meier asked with a smile.

"Makeup artist." Li Xianyun replied.

Jiang Meier's acting skills have always been limited, and her future as an actor is limited, but the makeup artist is good. Zombies belong to special effects makeup, and Jiang Meier can do well.

Hearing this, Jiang Meier's face darkened.

So, after a full circle, are you back to being a makeup artist?
Jiang Meier was a little unwilling: "I really can't be an actor?"

Li Xianyun smiled wryly: "Big contract."

big deal...

The lowest level of actors is group performances, which belong to background characters and have no lines.

Up is the special contract, and it is divided into large, medium and small.

An actor with a few lines is generally considered a small special contract, which is usually one hundred to five hundred a day, a medium special contract is five hundred to one thousand a day, and a large special contract can be more than two thousand a day, which is considered a familiar face.

Further up is the supporting role, the leading role.

Jiang Mei'er has no foundation in acting, and Li Xianyun's previous performances were all repeated by Li Xianyun. She has also honed herself, which can be regarded as a super-level performance.

It's really a big show, it's impossible to serve her like this.

Can't be busy.

So Li Xianyun commented that she is a big special contract. In fact, with her current acting skills, the medium special contract is the limit.

With a big contract cap, it's better to be a makeup artist with a future.

Jiang Meier was speechless, and said in a bad mood: "That's fine, I won't eat the dinner, after all, your cost will increase again."

Turning to leave.

Watching Jiang Meier go away, Li Xianyun knew that this girl's heart for him should also be completely dead.

Zhao Yunyang leaned over with a humble face: "Is this going to give up? He is obviously interested in you."

Are you talking to your boss?
Sure enough, I still have something to say.

When he first became the boss, Li Xianyun didn't know how to put on airs. He just said leisurely: "There is an infinite starry sky in the future, why give up for a star."

"The boss, I'm chasing her, do you have any objection?" Zhao Yunyang asked.

Oh, that's what it means.

Li Xianyun smiled: "No objection, but I see you... Xuan."

This guy is not ugly, but he looks too wretched with his hunched back, and he doesn't pay attention to grooming himself. He wears clothes like a thief, and his hair is messed up like a chicken coop. Hair Benefits.

Patting Zhao Yunyang's back with his hand, Li Xianyun said: "Stand up straight, don't get down."

----------

Road to Crazy Corpse adopts the method of on-site rough cutting. The biggest advantage of on-site rough cutting is that you can see the general effect immediately after shooting, and you can find out any problems at the first time.No need to wait for the filming to be finished before sending it for editing, just take a slap on the thigh after watching it: Fuck, something went wrong, I have to go back and make up for it.

It's a lot of money for a supplementary shot!

In the original world, Li Xianyun had a similar experience. After filming the film, she realized: Damn, isn’t the third female already in a coma, why did she reappear in the later scene?What's more, it's the C position?Can't even cut it.

The key point is that there were not many spare shots in the film at the time. It is also strange that there are only 83 minutes of usable material in an 91-minute movie.

That's right, the producer is that idiot Ren Zhi, who would do anything to save money - he has to shoot more than a dozen scenes a day, how much usable material can he have?
In the end, Rong Dasheng came to the rescue, and he just saved the third woman through editing techniques.

In Rong Dasheng's words, this turns the dead into disabled people, making it impossible to walk normally, but at least he has a breath.

Li Xianyun said: This is called doing a dojo in a snail shell, dancing ballet with five flowers tied together.

Rong Dasheng gave a thumbs up: People who write are full of flowers.

Anyway, Rong Dasheng's ability is still very good, ordinary people really can't save this film - as long as Rong Dasheng doesn't touch the script, he is a good director!

With on-site editing, there is basically no need to worry about such a major problem of goofing around—unless the entire production team is blind.

After shooting the zombie movie, Li Xianyun took over the company exactly one month ago.

At this time, the preparations for Jian Ghost Records have almost been completed.

Originally, Li Xianyun wanted Ren Zhi to use Yang Enjun for him, but when he heard the price, what? 20?
I'll fuck you, fuck it.

Cheap actors are really worthless. As long as you know how to play, you can get thousands to tens of thousands of dollars - it depends on the length of time. For example, a piece of rubbish film every seven days can cost [-] to [-] yuan, but if it takes a month to shoot, it will take Eighty thousand and one hundred thousand is also normal.Specifically, it depends on the roles, acting skills, appearance, whether you have fans, whether you are obedient, and even... ahem, let's not talk about it.

Li Xianyun met a boss Chen from an advertising company in his original world. He made a sci-fi film, and he was full of confidence when he was still in the post-production stage and planned to make a sequel.

It is said that the investment of 2000 million yuan will be sold in the secondary market for [-] million yuan. It is said that the sequel will also have this budget, and the director and screenwriter will be given two points, so that everyone can work for him for free.

So Li Xianyun and Rong Dasheng went to his company for an interview.

At that time, this buddy came half an hour late due to something. After Rong Dasheng and Li Xianyun arrived at his company ahead of time, they asked his staff to release his first book to have a look.

After watching the film, fuck, low-level sex.

At that time, Rong Dasheng gestured with six fingers and said that the actual investment of this first film was less than 200 million yuan, which naturally did not follow Boss Chen's example.Boss Chen was hit to the core, he had no choice but to take Rong Dasheng and Li Xianyun, turned around and began to scold his employees: Who told you to show them the film when Lao Tzu didn't come?
The key is to scold in front of the two of them.

When he scolded, the employee was also annoyed: the director and screenwriter you invited to make a sequel for you, isn't it only natural for people to watch the first film?What's the point of throwing fire on me before you have a deal?

Later, Rong Dasheng secretly contacted the employee to inquire about the real cost, and the employee said: I don’t know about other resources, anyway, the cash does not exceed 60.

Rong Dasheng and Li Xianyun were overjoyed at that time.

Of course, that product also comes with post-production special effects and so on, and the price of resources has to be counted, so it is estimated that the production cost is 50 million.

Rong Dasheng said that the 200 million is due to his bragging - so bragging is still meaningful.

The problem is that your fucking movie with a production cost of more than 100 million yuan blows us up to [-] million yuan, and you have to use this as a standard to use the standard of one person and two points to send people to work, making it seem like you are very generous, shameless No?

By the way, it is said that Boss Chen personally led a group of "elite screenwriters" to work on his first script for a year.

After seeing the background frame, Li Xianyun re-edited it for him, photographed it in front of Boss Chen, and told him: I made this in 10 minutes, let's see how it compares to your results in a year.

Although Boss Chen was boastful, he still nodded helplessly after seeing the frame: Professionals are different.

nonsense!

To put it bluntly, Li Xianyun's framework in 10 minutes is a hundred times better than his "a group of elite screenwriters' achievements in one year"!
It's a pity that it's like this, and he still refuses to pay a high price for the second part, which is considered extremely stingy - Li Xianyun voluntarily gave him the 10 minutes of hard work, which can be regarded as his lunch box for treats.

Boss Chen is "infinitely atmospheric", pointing to the Porsche and Land Rover in the parking lot and saying "these are all my cars", while inviting the two of them to have a boxed lunch for dinner, which is outrageous.

When Li Xianyun was the poorest, he never invited anyone to have a boxed lunch—you motherfucker, do you think we work for you on the set?
And it is such a movie that claims 2000 million investment and 5000 million production, the first starring salary is 25 yuan, and the filming period is about [-] days.

Rong Dasheng shouted: I don’t want 8000 yuan for this kind of thing, and I don’t bring more than 10 yuan into the group, and I don’t bring it to a number three.

The finger frantically jumps and cuts.

Boss Chen, a layman who entered the film industry, was tricked by others and didn't know it. He even wanted to pretend to be a big deal to fool an insider. It's like Donnie Yen wanting to hang Tyson. Hanging doesn't matter.

Another special bragging point is panic kneeling classmates.

Back then, Ren Zhi patted his chest and swore that the famous Internet celebrity "Rabbit Ya" was held up by him. In the original world, Li Xianyun once came into contact with Rabbit Ya because of a business cooperation, and asked her casually if she knew Pan Kneeling?People froze for a long time and didn't remember who this person was.

Not only today's people, but also the ancients. If you pull tens of thousands of farmers, you will be an army of millions;

People in the world like to brag, ancient and modern are the same.

If Li Xianyun travels back, he might be the leader of the Tongtian Sect, surrounded by the God of Bliss who is demon red Givenchy with his palm, with red lips to confuse the world; The house ghost moves mountains and seas, the universe moves, the master of time and space; as for Jiang Mengmeng, it is the immortal and reborn little Nezha, a three-headed and six-armed red boy, the real fire of three flavors is not strong enough, it must be ninety-nine return to one nine heaven and ten earth Brahma God Fire; Elf Shadow Ghost is the Kunlun Mirror Xuanhuang Pagoda Xuanyuan Sword combined into a unparalleled artifact, a single soldier can spread a sea of ​​​​blood and kill the battle; the five guardians are all the disciples of the leader, there is no distinction between teachings, and all ghosts come to subdue...

In short, bragging is inheritance.

There is no one in the world who does not brag!
