I am popular in the entertainment circle

Chapter 88
"I should be able to detect these things if I go back and review the film, but they rejected me. I was angry and anxious to find an investor to make this movie, but I didn't think about the entanglement inside."

Meng Ran understood.

After he was rejected, he immediately went to the next one, and he didn't mean to turn back at all, so he didn't notice it?
Meng Ran has a quick brain, but she also knows this kind of friends who have long reflex arcs and stupid mouths. They often quarrel with others, and only try to list one, two, three, four items when they turn around, regretting why they didn't refute them.

Director Zeng suddenly smiled,
"Actually, even if I found out that they wanted my script, I probably wouldn't look back for them."

Meng Ran was surprised and found that Director Zeng's eyes were clear.
"They only want my script, not my director, but I'm not a screenwriter, so I don't need their approval for this."

Meng Ran understood immediately.

In fact, he was faintly aware of this in his heart, so he decisively went to find another family.

Since it's impossible, don't you want to change the road immediately?

Meng Ran suddenly liked this director a little bit.

His thinking is quite similar to his own, and he is also such a person. If this road does not work, he will immediately switch to another one. Some people think that his approach is not firm enough, but it also avoids cornering the corner.

Meng Ran turned off the script, quickly forwarded the video sent to her by the system to Director Zeng, and smiled,
"Director Zeng, you have shown me your sincerity, so I won't be perfunctory to you. This is my sincerity. What do you think of this special effect?"

Of course, what the system sent her was not a separate special effect, but some video materials found on the Internet, and the special effects of ghost movies were integrated into the video materials, and the urban drama and puppet show were transformed into ghost movies.

Anyway, Meng Ran himself is very satisfied.

With this premise, she dared to ask for box office dividends openly, and she was going to ask for it from the high school.

This time Director Zeng was silent.

Meng Ran was not in a hurry, she drank her coffee slowly, and waited for Director Zeng to finish. She did not forget to observe Director Zeng's expression, which determined how much she could ask for next.

What surprised Meng Ran was that although Director Zeng had tried his best to tighten his face and did not want to reveal the bottom line in front of Meng Ran, it was obvious that such a micro-expression could no longer hide Meng Ran's greatly improved acting skills.

She used to be very good at observing words and expressions.

Now, at least it's better than Director Zeng who can't even hear the words.

The other party has not grown into a cunning and cunning like Director Qin.

Director Zeng was really moved.

Meng Ran said that he could introduce the special effects team to him. He was happy in his heart, but otherwise it was impossible to have such high expectations, but now seeing these videos, he immediately knew that he had underestimated Meng Ran's connections.

This script was polished by him in four years of college. In order to finish shooting it, Director Zeng naturally did a lot of work in this area, and he is very familiar with the special effects of ghost movies.

But now, he was sure that the level of special effects had reached the middle level in his own knowledge.

Don't think it's nothing to be mediocre, you must know that the movies he refers to are not messy works, but ghost-themed works that have been praised for their special effects at least on the market, not just in Huaguo, but also in other countries Ghost movie special effects.

Of course, ghost films in some western countries pay more attention to bloody violence, and lack the subtlety and connotation of Huaguo, and the more you think about it, the more you will be afraid, and the more you think about it, the less you can think deeply. This is the difference between different countries' cultures.

Their scares are different.

But there are many places to refer to.

His psychological expectations are inferior to superior, find a reliable small and medium-sized special effects company in China, and strive to double or triple the appearance of [-] cents special effects, so that in the current environment, it can be called excellent production.

The special effects of Meng Ran's works greatly exceeded his expectations. While he was delighted, he couldn't help worrying about the price, but he was unwilling to give up the [-]% discount that Meng Ran said.

How rare.

[-]% off!

The higher the standard, the more cheap it can be.

In the end he couldn't hold back and asked,
"What kind of quotation can this master give me?"

"That depends on what price you plan to ask for?"

Meng Ran was quite able to hold back, as if she said something unintentionally,
"I heard that top foreign special effects teams cost tens of thousands of dollars per frame."

That's right, Meng Ran was also very surprised when he learned this information from the system.

She had never understood the content of special effects before, and her understanding of special effects was still limited to the [-] cents special effects that netizens often scolded, but she didn't know that in order to achieve [-] cents special effects, the cost per second might be between several thousand and ten thousand.

The top foreign special effects teams cost tens of thousands of dollars per frame, and there are 24 frames per second, which is enough to show how expensive special effects are.

Later, Meng Ran searched the Internet for well-known special effects blockbusters. If the budget of the whole movie was [-] million US dollars, at least [-] million of it was spent on special effects.

The winner takes [-]% of all funds.

Therefore, Meng Ran is particularly in favor of systematically learning special effects, which is a very profitable industry.

Director Zeng almost fell off his chair when he said this.

He forced a smile,
"Miss Meng, I think you may not know much about special effects, or you only know about the top batch in the world, and our domestic expenditure on special effects is unlikely to reach this level, let alone my respect for us. The positioning of this movie is small but refined, to tell you the truth, I only have a budget of 2000 million for the whole movie."

Meng Ran's heart skipped a beat, 2000 million?If Director Zeng is willing to use 1000 million for special effects, then he can borrow money from the system.

"Director Zeng, don't worry. Of course I took into account that our crew's pockets are not rich, so I spent a lot of money to get a 500% discount from my friend. Because of this 500% discount, he almost turned against me... Finally, there is With such an opportunity, we should spend a little more on special effects. For example, how about [-] million yuan for special effects? You see, I am the first female lead, and my assistant is the second female lead. The first female does not need to be paid by you, and the second female is a newcomer You don’t need to pay too much for the film, so the money is saved. There are also money for special effects, as well as money for clothing, and that’s all for clothing. I have no channels here. But I can save you money on makeup and props , use the remaining [-] million to make this movie."

"Using 500 million yuan for special effects can produce 3000 million effects. In other aspects, I have taught you to control it well. I believe this is definitely a masterpiece. Director Zeng, I am willing to spend such a capital. Don't you Don't you dare take a gamble with me?"

Director Zeng's face was heavy, his heart was struggling crazily, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

The budget in his heart is actually to use 1000 million for special effects.
