I'm here to chase the stars

Chapter 254 Crying Poor
The concert started to be promoted, and after the first episode of "Sound of Dreams" was finished, Xu Fang finally found some free time to take Xu Fan around.

As an elder brother, he feels that he still loves his younger brother very much. After all, not every elder brother is willing to sacrifice himself, give up his family business, and leave the great future to his younger brother.

After taking Xu Fan around in a few days, Xu Fang is going to buy a few sets of business management books for him as holiday souvenirs, let him read them well, and take them home.

Knowing that Xu Fang wanted to take him to play, Xu Fan was also very interested: "Brother, where shall we go tomorrow?"

"Where do you want to go, climb the Great Wall?"

"Don't go."

Xu Fang fully demonstrated his democracy: "Tired? Okay, let's go and see where the emperor lives?"

Xu Fan shook his head: "It's boring."

Xu Fang asked again: "Natural scenic area?"

Xu Fan's mood faded: "Boring."

"Then where are you going?"

"do not know!"

Xu Fang started to have the urge to beat someone up. Just then the phone rang, and while taking out the phone, he stretched his legs and aimed at Xu Fan's buttocks, humming coldly in his heart: "This phone has saved you, otherwise it will make your ass bloom!"

"Hey, Director Jiang, what do you want from me?"

"When are you free, let's talk about the signing and the script. If it's convenient, go to the film and television city and talk about it."

"Okay." Xu Fang thought for a while, then raised his head and shouted to Xu Fan who was not far away, "Shall we go to the film and television city?"

Xu Fan probably also found that his butt was about to lose his life, so he didn't dare to continue to toss, and nodded obediently: "Okay."

Xu Fang replied to Jiang Huo with satisfaction: "I will take my brother to the film and television city tomorrow, at nine o'clock...forget it, let's meet there at ten o'clock."

After making an appointment with Jiang Huo, when Xu Fang took Xu Fan there the next day, he found that Jiang Bai was there.

Xu Fan came up and praised: "Sister, you are so beautiful, are you also a star?"

Just one sentence won Jiang Bai's favor.

After strolling around for a while, Jiang Bai took the initiative and said, "Don't you guys want to talk about something, I'll take Xiaofan to play."

Seeing that Xu Fang was fine, Jiang Huo agreed, and said: "Don't run around, pay attention to safety!"

"Understood." It's not the first time for Jiang Bai to come to the film and television city. She is very familiar with which side is the filming base, which side is the scenic spot, and where the ice cream is delicious.

After Jiang Bai and Xu Fan had left, Jiang Huo talked to Xu Fang about business.

"Let's talk about filming first. I want to ask, are you planning to shoot on location or in a studio?"

Jiang Huo said, and dragged Xu Fang to a studio.

Seeing the fluorescent green backdrop covered inside, Xu Fang was not in a hurry to express his opinion, but just asked, "What do you think?"

Director Jiang said: "Let me explain the difference to you first.

The first is the shooting time. The season and weather must be taken into account when shooting live action, as well as the time it takes for the crew to travel around.

In this way, the green screen in the shed is more convenient, and it also avoids the round trip and the delay caused by the weather.

The second is the danger. The risk of filming in the studio is very low, and there will be certain risks in real scenes. You should have heard of the serious and minor injuries of actors due to filming every year.

There is also the cost, which is more complicated to calculate. It is difficult to say which one is more expensive, the real scene or the special effects.

If you just take a walk and go shopping, it is undoubtedly cheaper to shoot on-site shooting. If special effects such as explosions are added, the cost will be hard to say.

Cg special effects, whether the effect is good or not depends entirely on how much money you are willing to burn. "

When talking about money, Xu Fang was very depressed: "Director Jiang, what's your suggestion?"

"I suggest that in the studio, for the film "A Chinese Journey to the West", if you shoot live action and then post-composite with your budget, plus travel expenses, and unexpected effects caused by the weather, half of the filming may be out of money.

In-studio shooting is more controllable, and there are more places where costs can be saved. If it doesn’t work, just reduce the quality of CG. "

Xu Fang squinted at Jiang Huo: "Director Jiang, why do I feel that you just think you don't have enough money."

Jiang Huo: "You finally heard it?"

Xu Fang was helpless: "How much do you want?"

Jiang Huo stretched out three fingers.

Xu Fang: "3 million?"

Jiang Huo shook his head: "Multiply by 3."

"You sold me." Xu Fang complained.

Jiang Huo suggested: "It's really not possible, so get some sponsorship?"

Xu Fang pondered, do you really want to ask the family for money?

A picture couldn't help but pop up in his mind.

After the success of the movie, a group of reporters asked him the secret of his success, why he dared to invest so much in betting on the success of a movie, and he told the reporters a short story.

"In order to make this movie, I first appeared on a few shows and earned millions, and held a few concerts, earning tens of millions, and spent more than a year digging and searching to save 1.5 million.

But I invested a total of 4.5 million+ in this movie, where did the money come from?

I called home. "

Thinking of this scene, Xu Fang shuddered.

No, he doesn't want to be the spokesperson of poisonous chicken soup in the new era!
Xu Fang hurriedly said to Jiang Huo: "As for the money issue, I'll think about a solution, but it won't work. Director Jiang, please be wronged. I know that you are already very skilled at saving costs."

Jiang Huo had a headache. He used to have a small budget for making literary films, and he wished that every penny could be broken into several petals.

I thought that transforming into a commercial film, I could let go of my hands and feet and experience the taste of spending money like water, but I didn't expect it. I didn't expect it.

Should it be too late to regret now?

Xu Fang seemed to see through his thoughts: "Director Jiang, you can't regret it.

Script, don't you still want to talk about the script? "

Jiang Huo's attention shifted a little: "Oh, I read the script of "A Chinese Journey to the West". You intentionally divided it into two parts. Are you planning to film the first and second parts?"

Xu Fang shook his head: "No, the main reason is that I want to write too much, so I divided it into two parts. I still have to make one part."

"It might be a little longer then."

"2.5 to 3 hours should be fine, right?"

"No problem, but..."

Xu Fang was very sensitive: "It's money again?"

Jiang Huo took it for granted: "It took a long time to shoot, and it must have cost a lot of money."

Xu Fang finally understood, Director Jiang didn't sign the contract, and the film hadn't been formally approved, so he rushed to him to cry poorly!

Xu Fang had a headache, walked with Jiang Huo, and came to a filming crew.

Seeing Jiang Bai standing on the edge, looking in, but not seeing Xu Fan, the two quickly walked over.

Jiang Huosheng was afraid that his daughter would lose Xu Fang's brother, so he rushed over and asked, "Where's Xu Fan?"

Jiang Bai pointed to the crew, and explained: "When we first came, someone was recruiting for group performances, and Xiao Fan joined in the fun, and was chosen.

Just one scene cost 20 yuan, and the filming took about half an hour. I saw that he was interested, so I didn't stop him. "

Xu Fang was puzzled: "What to play? He can also be selected for such a fake role."

Jiang Bai's eyes wandered, he looked at the sky and said, "Play the corpse."

Jiang Huo: "..."

Xu Fang: "..."
