my crew is not human

Chapter 39

Because it is a series, the cast is basically fixed. The plot is a bit like Wen Ziren's Calling the Soul.

The male and female protagonists are a pair of lovers, the male one is played by Lin Xiaoyu, and the female one is another newcomer named Jiang Lanwen, who also performed well in the same type of film in the original world. The image and temperament are good, and the acting skills are also good, especially the eyes. Sharpness.

Domestic actresses are good at being charming and sexy, and those with sharp eyes are rare.

Jiang Lanwen's eyes are very characteristic, her face looks a bit like Keira Knightley, not the kind of pretty oval face, but with good makeup, her personality is distinct and her facial lines are clear, so Li Xianyun also called to find her .

Ghostbuster is also starring, the big guy sent by Huayou.

The big guy is Shen Rong, 42 years old this year, and used to be a second-tier actor. Regardless of her fame, her acting skills are good, but because she is getting older, it is becoming more and more difficult to get plays, which leads to a sharp drop in her value.

A coffee position like her usually quotes [-] to [-] a day.

When Ren Zhi in the original world was filming, he once asked the little dragon girl Li Moutong to come as a cameo, saying that [-] a day might be available, and the price is similar to that of Li Mouxiong, who is a hero, etc., but there is no bird He—maybe it's a problem with the price, more likely it's a problem with the crew being too low.

Shen Rong is similar, she used to be very popular, but now times have changed and she is not as popular as before, but she is still a well-known coffee after all.

But probably because of the well-known coffee, before Shen Rong came, she even asked her agent to call and ask if she could come later, saying that something had to be delayed.

You have a fart, you must want to take the opportunity to reap benefits elsewhere!

Big-name actors don't do that.

Li Xianyun is now familiar with the routine, and sternly refuses.If you don't do it, don't blame me for falling out with Huayou, I'm a creditor!

In the end, the other party still didn't fart and came obediently.

Therefore, few of these people's words are credible, and those who work in film and television must be hard-the key is to be able to identify the hard points.

Laymen don't know, when it should be hard, it should be soft, and when it should be soft, it should be hard, and the result is to be fooled around.

After the actors are in place, it is the script reading.

Today Li Xianyun was still discussing the script with everyone, Ren Zhi rushed over excitedly, his excited eyes went to his eyebrows: "Xianyun!"

Li Xianyun didn't raise his head: "If you need anything, talk to Jiang Zheng."

"Hey, no, you are the boss, and I have to talk to you about this matter." Ren Zhi stood outside and waved desperately.

Li Xianyun helplessly asked everyone to discuss by themselves first, then went out and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"

Ren Zhi leaned over: "The online registration of the ghost battle in the secret room has passed, and it will be graded soon. I said, don't you plan to find someone to do it?"

"What activity?" Li Xianyun asked.

Ren Zhiyi patted his forehead: "It's just to clear up the relationship! Our film is expected to be rated A."

Domestic film and television platforms spread, and the payment methods for online movies are directly related to ratings.

According to the pricing standards of Huaguo's three mainstream film and television platforms, they are generally divided into three levels.

Among them, file C is the lowest, and the price is 1.5 yuan per effective click. The so-called effective click means that after watching the 6-minute free period, you enter the charging stage, and you can either pay to watch or watch with a VIP account.

In file B, the price is 2 yuan/single valid click.

Grade A is the highest, and the price is 2.5 yuan per effective click.

Of course, this file is not constant. Different platforms and different worlds are different.There are platforms in the original world that later came up with S-level, S+, legend and Splus... how amazing.

But there's not much trouble here, just these three gears.

In addition to the different prices of the three major files, the key is that the promotion efforts given by the platforms are also different. The higher the level of the movie, the better the promotion-this kind of promotion is equivalent to publicity.

The effect of spending millions of dollars outside may not be better than the effect of a single recommendation on the platform, the key is not to spend money.

So for online movies, ratings are very, very important.

For example, Li Xianyun's "Ghost War in the Secret Chamber" has a market price of 300 million, and the reported cost to the Qiqi platform is 800 million, and the price of 800 million can basically be set to A-level.

However, each platform will not set the amount just because of how much you report, they have their own judgments.

The actual investment in the ghost battle in the secret room is not high, and the ghost special effects are awesome, so it is in an area that can be either A-level or B-level.

In this case, send some money to someone on the committee and hopefully get an A.But beware there is hope - no money will be refunded whether it succeeds or fails.

Ren Zhi said excitedly: "I know a producer on the Qiqi platform, and 10 yuan can almost guarantee an A grade."

"10 yuan? About the same?" Li Xianyun looked at him and smiled.

If he didn't know this kid well, Li Xianyun might have been fooled by him.

10 yuan is considered the standard price, but it does not mean that the other party will receive 10 yuan.

On top of that, the ratings board isn't alone either.

When the other party takes the money, it must be [-]% sure. Once you operate it, you can wait for the big prize.

Li Xianyun shook his head directly: "I want to be a clean film and television company, a film and television company that doesn't exploit investors' money, and doesn't follow crooked ways."

Ren Zhi shook his head again and again, his eyes drooping under his nose, and he said earnestly: "My great writer, please don't be so unreal, okay? What is more important than making money these days? You know B-level and A-level Is there a big difference between the grades? For a general B-grade movie, it would be enough to sell two or three million yuan, but only for an A-grade movie to reach more than 300 million."

"I know, but I don't care." Li Xianyun replied.

Ren Zhi's face was serious, Douzi's eyes were piercing, and the lines on his face squeezed out "I'm serious": "You only invested more than 30 yuan, and as long as the film can sell 80 to 100 yuan, you will get back your capital, so you don't have to care. But Wu Bao invested more than 300 million yuan! The film will only be paid back when it sells for [-] million yuan. Do you know what this means?"

Of course Li Xianyun knew.

This means that if the movie sells for 200 million, Li Xianyun has made money, but Wu Bao and the others have lost money.

It's okay for everyone to lose together, but if one party loses and the other gains, the losing party will definitely not accept it.

Ren Zhi said seriously: "Wu Bao and the others have gangster backgrounds, you can't offend them."

"Knowing that they have underworld backgrounds, don't you still cheat?" Li Xianyun sneered.

Ren Zhi hesitated, and murmured, "Why don't you take the money if you have the money?"

Greed is at work, even if you know that some people can't take their money, you still can't control your hands, and you don't regret it until something goes wrong.

Ren Zhi still didn't give up: "If you do business like this, it's easy to offend people."

Li Xianyun smiled: "I will offend many people in the future...whether it is human or not."
