my crew is not human

Chapter 54
In the meeting room, when Yang Yuan came back, Li Xianyun was still thinking.

Yang Yuan smiled all over his face and said, "Director Li, how is the discussion going?"

"Well, there are some questions I need to ask." Li Xianyun smiled and said, "I'm not in a hurry for the time being about people. When it comes to the things we talked about earlier, I suddenly thought of some questions."

"What's the problem?" Yang Yuan asked.

"Oh, it's loss." Li Xianyun replied seemingly casually: "There must be loss in filming, costumes, props, and some may not be used later. We have ignored the issue of loss assessment."

"Uh..." Yang Yuan was stunned.

He never expected that Li Xianyun would raise this question at this time.

There was a smile on his face: "These are trivial things, don't worry about a little loss."

"That will also be included in the list. Are you sure you don't need to pay for the loss?" Li Xianyun asked with a smile.

Yang Yuan immediately changed his mouth: "You know that I'm not the boss either, so I can't make the decision on this matter."

"Then let's set a price." Li Xianyun said.

Yang Yuan reluctantly agreed.

This pre-set price made it impossible to ask for a lot of prices. As a result, the prices of many clothes still shocked Li Xianyun.

Those good clothes cost thousands of dollars a piece. I didn't know before, so I just picked the good ones.As a result, after filming the whole film, the loss of costumes and props alone can reach [-] to [-].

Fortunately, now that preparations are made, those costumes and props that do not need to be consumed are still selected. At the same time, Li Xianyun asked the costume and props master to make some low-cost consumables, which greatly reduced the cost.

Huayou Company is very ghostly, and has designed a series of pitfalls. Although it is said to use their resources for free, in fact, some things have to be paid for.

For example, food, lodging and transportation were arranged by Huayou Company, and Yisheng Media had to pay cash for this part.

In addition, there are group performances, although group performances are not worth much, but there are many people, and the price is quite high.

There are several ensemble scenes in Chasing Against Time. If you want to do it decently, you need at least fifty ensemble actors. One ensemble dares to ask for 500 yuan. It is called a professional ensemble actor. It costs 5000 yuan a day, and it takes at least three days to shoot. , which is about [-] yuan.

I'm going to your sister, the group performer is so professional.

Group speeches cost 120 per person, but those who actually get [-] or [-] are often given to group performers, and those who get [-] are regarded as more human in this industry, and the specifics depend on the place and the person—— In some places, there are few group performers, so the asking price is high. For example, there are many group performers in Shudian, and there are more opportunities. It is only [-] yuan for ten hours a day. The group of performers shouted that they were taboos and couldn't do it, and they were jealous and wanted to lie in the corpse. There were countless people competing for the role of a corpse, lest they would not sell enough bad luck.

If it is not arranged by the vertical store, it may be more expensive, but the income of group performances will basically not change.

The group performance itself is also divided into high and low, depending on the level of the group leader, and those who can play can cost three to five hundred.

In short, there are all kinds of things, there are industry rules and interviews, group leaders hold a bunch of speeches for special appointments, and the asking price has been directly called a thousand.

When it comes to corners, the ups and downs are even more outrageous-an artist can pick up [-], and [-].He took an artist of [-] yuan and asked you for [-] yuan, without blinking an eye. If you don't know how to do it, you have to thank him for giving you a discount.

Therefore, the importance of the producer is here - the essential meaning of the producer's formation of a team is to pick the goods and ensure that the goods are worthy of the price!
In short, the problem must exist, but it can also be solved.

This time Li Xianyun plugged the leaks one by one, basically plugging everything that could be plugged.

Of course, there are things that can't be stopped. Li Xianyun didn't know about it if they didn't talk about it during the chat, so he had to give up.

If you want to open up, you have to give some benefits-who will do it if there is no benefit?
Li Xianyun himself can be as high as he can to the outside world, but he never takes black money.

As for the few people Yang Yuan recommended, Li Xianyun didn't want any of them. Damn it, even the little assistant's cousin was enough to make up the number.

On the contrary, You Yong and Zhang Zhao, one is a lighting engineer and the other is a sound engineer. Ten thousand eight, which is equivalent to half fold.

Originally, Li Xianyun didn't know how much their resumes were fake, but now he knows.

These two are not fake.

They were sent by Jingyuan Company. In order to complete the spy goal, this price belongs to the price of cabbage.

Since someone is willing to deliver food, Li Xianyun doesn't mind taking advantage of the door-to-door delivery.

He ordered the two immediately.

Turning the PPT to the last page, Li Xianyun finally saw that Xuandong.

This is a photographer with a very simple resume. He didn't mention that he has participated in any major productions. The price is not cheap, three thousand a day, and the package price is fifty thousand, which can be used to offset the debt.Looking at the resume and price, it is not suitable for the cost performance.

But the photographer who can make Yang Yuan pay so much attention must be a good photographer—this is intentional.

Putting his finger on Xuandong's photo, Li Xianyun said, "Let's just leave him as a photographer."

Xuandong?

Yang Yuan's eyes straightened.

Why did you choose this guy?

Yang Yuan hurriedly said: "Old Xuan... this person..."

"What's the problem?" Li Xianyun asked with a smile.

Seeing his smile, Yang Yuan felt inexplicably guilty, and replied in embarrassment: "There is nothing wrong with Lao Xuan's technique, but he has a bad temper. There was once a dispute with the director and producer. You also I know, the crew is the most taboo about this, so after getting it, many people are too willing to use him."

"Really?" Li Xianyun smiled: "I still like people with a bad temper. They are proud of their talents. Only those who have skills are entitled to have a temper. It's normal. As long as he has skills, even if he points at me and scolds me, I will I admit it. There is nothing else about me, but I am quite modest.”

"..."

You've already talked about this, what else can I say?
A smile appeared on Yang Yuan's face: "That's fine, you can use it if you want. I'm not bragging, we, Huayou, provide the top talents in the industry."

"I believe that." Li Xianyun nodded.

As a large-scale media group, Huayou definitely has no shortage of talents, so it depends on whether you can give them to you!
In the end, it was finalized, Fu Huadao added venue equipment, some scenery and some actors, etc., and the total price was 180 million.

It was still 250 short of the expected 70 million, and Li Xianyun wanted to hand over the food, lodging and transportation to the other party.

However, you have to pay cash for this, and there is basically no money to be made. I will take it all, and your 250 million can spend 150 to support the sky.

Yang Yuan disagreed life and death, and in the end the two parties compromised, and then a big name came out to him for two days.

This time, the cast is relatively big. It is a second-line actor named Lu Jun, who is also an old actor, and he is suitable to play the last hidden big boss in the movie.

Even if the second-line actors are in the cold winter period, the salary price is more than several million, and it is normal to get hundreds of thousands a day.

Li Xianyun was bitten to death, at least five days... I will add drama to the big boss later!
Then I asked Shen Rong to come over and play a cameo—this is a pure friendship cameo.

At least I asked your relatives, so you can show me some face too—speaking of which, we are only a short nod away from that.

Yang Yuan asked Shen Rong for her opinion, and after confirming that she had no problem, she agreed.

In this way, this film can be regarded as having two major roles.

This round of pricing choices also completely changed Yang Yuan and his little assistant's impression of Li Xianyun.

As far as the resources Li Xianyun asked for, Huayou released them to the outside world, it was normal to ask for 500 million, but Li Xianyun could do it with 250 million.

This is not a newcomer in the industry, he is clearly a ruthless person pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger!

She was still muttering, but she didn't know that Li Xianyun was also deeply touched.

Li Xianyun, who was back in the hotel, had a sudden whim and wrote down "friendship prices, guide prices, and internal prices, all of which are unscrupulous prices."

It can be regarded as a burst of inspiration, but it is a pity that I didn't think of the second line after thinking about it for a long time, so I had to give up.

--------

After the set is set, it is time to meet the actors.

I saw Shen Rong again. She was dressed in a red dress, noble and gorgeous, and there was a little girl standing beside her.

The girl was wearing a very ordinary white-collar dress, with a string of pearl chains around her snow-white neck. She was clearly dressed in a simple way, but standing there could give people a sense of temptation in uniform.

It should be Qin Yulin.

In the original world, there is an online movie called Qimen Dunjia. In the opening 6 minutes, there is a proprietress Chunchun.

This Qin Yujian has the characteristics of the proprietress Chunchun.

Naturally charming!

Seeing Shen Rong, Li Xianyun smiled and said: "Sister Shen, we will cooperate again next time, we are happy to cooperate."

Shen Rong smiled and said, "Congratulations, Director Li."

"Congratulations to me? Congratulations to what?" Li Xianyun was puzzled.

"Why don't you know? Your Path of the Wild Corpse is online, and the Swift platform is pushing it hard." Qin Yujian walked over and said.

Hearing Qin Yubin's words, Li Xianyun was also taken aback.

He slapped his forehead: "Damn, I forgot about it."

The Path of the Wild Corpse was launched three days ago, but Li Xianyun is both a producer and a director, so he was so busy that he forgot about it.

At this moment, I directly took out my laptop and entered the quick platform page, and saw that the platform's big recommendation was still there.

Looking backstage, Li Xianyun was overjoyed.

In three days, more than 100 million were sold.

Shen Rong leaned over and said, "Not bad, with a production cost of 1 yuan, it sold more than 100 million yuan in three days."

Li Xianyun smiled: "The platform pushed it, and people took the lead. Besides, I actually have more than this number."

"What? Are you stingy and don't want to treat guests?" Shen Rong looked at him with a smile.

Li Xianyun hurriedly said: "It's definitely not that kind of meaning. If nothing else, just because you are willing to make a guest appearance, I will treat you to dinner. Are you free? Have a supper together."

"Of course I want." Shen Rong raised her eyebrows, then turned her head and said, "Yu Jian, let's go together."

Since people asked for this, Li Xianyun didn't call anyone else, the three of them walked out of the hotel together, found a small restaurant nearby, ordered some food and drink, and ate and drank.

Shen Rong looked around, with a bit of embarrassment in her eyes: "When I came out, I had to wear a hat and scarf, lest others would recognize it. Now, not many people care."

Qin Yuyan grabbed Shen Rong's hand and said: "What my aunt said is that those people have no eyesight level."

Shen Rong patted the back of Qin Yuyan's hand with a smile, and said to Li Xianyun: "Yuyan is a good boy, but unfortunately he has never had a chance. I read your script this time, and it is very suitable for Yuyan. A director with a background in scripts just doesn't like it." Same, Director Li has a heart."

Hehe, you're overthinking, it's purely a coincidence, I'm not interested in changing the script for her.

Li Xianyun smiled and said: "My sister's words are too polite, Yujian's conditions are good, so I will naturally try my best to build it for her."

Hey, I'm getting more and more shameless now!Li Xianyun found that she had fallen a bit fast, and what was worse, she was still complacent about it.

Shen Rong said meaningfully: "For an actor to be popular, he not only needs to be popular in the film, but also has a solid image, has a memory point, and can show his characteristics. Some directors are good at making commercial films, and some directors are good at making stars. I think Director Li You are good in both aspects! How about it, are you interested in getting in touch with our family, Yujian?"

Li Xianyun was stunned.

Isn't it recommended to sign a contract?
You mean to sell girls!

Wait, the last time you promoted yourself, the old guy didn't push it out, and you pushed your younger sister and niece in a blink of an eye?

I'm going!

Are you too aggressive?

Don't you feel embarrassed?

Li Xianyun was speechless for a while.

But looking at Shen Rong's smiling face, there was no embarrassment at all.

Yes, in this circle, this kind of thing is the norm.

Don’t you see all kinds of intricate relationships in the circle, such as A is B’s ex-husband, B is C’s ex-husband, C is Ding’s new love, and Ding and A are in love again in a blink of an eye, and A and C can even have sex—that’s right , don't count, it's A and C.

homosexual.

So I'd better not act like a rookie.

Li Xianyun was startled like a ghost in his heart, and his face was as fixed as a monk: "Then I am really high."

Qin Yuyan next to her was also a little surprised, apparently unable to understand why her aunt treated Li Xianyun so seriously.

Seeing Li Xianyun's polite refusal but not firm refusal, Shen Rong's heart was clear and she didn't say anything else.

So everyone casually chatted about other things, ate wine and food, but probably because of Shen Rong's attitude, Qin Yubin also seemed to attach great importance to Li Xianyun, and took Li Dao with each mouthful.
