How China Entertainment was developed

Chapter 63 Too brutal
"Director Zhang, if this happens, the cost of food will increase a lot." The person in charge of food in the crew was dumbfounded after hearing Zhang Nan's talk, and said in a daze.

Zhang Nanzheng was worried that he would not run out of money, so he asked indifferently, "How much will it increase?"

"Probably... [-]% to [-]% of the cost." The person in charge of the food in the crew said after thinking for a while.

"Is it only increasing this much?"

Zhang Nan thought of the remaining 2000 million US dollars in production fees on the account of the crew, and immediately changed his words: "Then don't just change the food standards of the artists, the food of the entire crew will be given to me according to the current highest standard." come."

The person in charge of the food in the crew was completely stunned.

Having been in the film and television industry for so many years, he felt that he had met someone who could spend money.

But he really has never seen someone who can spend money like Zhang Nan.

But now he didn't dare to say anything more.

Just now when he opened his mouth, he changed what was originally a unified meal for the artists into a unified meal for all the crew.

If he opens his mouth again, maybe it will change again. It is estimated that even the livestock and food standards in the crew will be unified.

Although the money belongs to the film crew and not him, but the person in charge who has never lived a prosperous life really feels distressed!

"Okay, it's settled like this. You go to implement it. By the way, people from the props team and uniform team will find me. I have something to tell them." Zhang Nan waved his hand.

The method of raising the food standard to increase the production fee is just an accidental episode.

When Zhang Nan promised Zhu Guang to help spend the money, he never thought about spending the remaining 2000 million US dollars through eating and drinking.

That's simply not realistic.

How much can I eat again?

Moreover, domestic prices are still so low that there is simply not enough to eat.

So Zhang Nan set his sights on the props and costumes in the crew from the very beginning.

In a crew, there are too many props and costumes that can be adjusted as moths. It is quite normal for a piece of clothing to cost tens of thousands of dollars.

And when it comes to props and costumes, even if something happens, it's easy to be perfunctory.

For example, a certain director surnamed Chen who came from Xiangjiang to the north later bought a straw hat that would be used in the filming when he was filming "Martial Arts", and the purchase price reached 7000 yuan.

A hat, or a straw hat, costs 7000 yuan.

To be honest, this is a bit of a nonsense.

It was because of this kind of nonsense that when this incident was published on the domestic Internet at that time, it caused a heated discussion.

But in the end it was nothing.

No way, the director surnamed Chen defined this hat as a work of art.

As for works of art, the price depends on the purchaser's wishes, and you can spend as much as you want, what else can others say.

Of course, although Zhang Nan's method is similar to that of the director surnamed Chen, the meaning is completely different.

What Zhang Nan spends is foreigners' money, and foreigners are willing to do so.

Because it only needs to invest 5000 million U.S. dollars, and it is possible to reap a movie with a box office of several hundred million U.S. dollars with a high probability.

This kind of pay and return, Disney and 5000th Century Fox really don't care whether the [-] million US dollars is really spent on film production.

Disney and Twentieth Century Fox wouldn't care even if there was an extra $3000-[-] million.

Because if they really cared, Disney and [-]th Century Fox would have already sent people into the production crew to supervise, and they wouldn't let Zhang Nan take both the positions of director and producer.

But a certain director surnamed Chen spent money from domestic investors.

As for whether domestic investors are willing?

Zhang Nan felt that it should be unwilling.

Because in the few years since the straw hat incident, the director surnamed Chen has gradually stopped making blockbuster films. Doesn't this mean that no investors have taken advantage of him.

Of course, you can also say that the director surnamed Chen is old.

But Zhang Guoshi is in his [-]s and [-]s, and he has produced a book called "Man Jiang Hong". Zhang Nan thinks the reason for being old is not credible.

Sometimes Zhang Nan wonders if there are not many good directors surnamed Chen in this circle.

Otherwise, among the well-known directors in Huaguo, there are not many directors surnamed Chen.

As a result, look at Chen Caomao, Chen Wuji, and later Chen Sicheng who cheated.

Simply, as poisonous.

Of course, although Zhang Nan will do something in the name of art in terms of props and costumes.

However, the props and costumes in the crew of [Madou Martial Arts] were all made by the masters of the Modu Film Group.

To be honest, Zhang Nan looked at the set of exquisite props and costumes, and felt that it could really be called a work of art.

For example, the broken kite at the beginning of the movie [Jingcheng Martial Arts], with the explosion of [Jingcheng Martial Arts], it set off a small craze around the world.

Disney also made a small profit from the kite's surroundings, and part of Zhang Nan's 300 million red envelope was due to this.

After a while, the two people in charge of props and costumes in the crew arrived.

Then the two persons in charge of the props and costumes were called by Zhang Nan in a daze, and walked out from Zhang Nan in a daze.

After going out, the two people's pupils collapsed, their eyes were dull, and their expressions were abnormal... In short, they resembled the reaction after being greatly stimulated.

There is no way.

Looking at the props and costumes that I originally priced at tens or hundreds of yuan, Zhang Nan changed them to thousands or tens of thousands, and the unit was changed from RMB to US dollars.

The values ​​of the two have been greatly impacted in a short period of time.

It's simply listening to Jun's words, subverting the outlook on life!
If a classic scene of later generations is used to describe it, it must be the scene where Sun Bin, played by Sun Honglei, yelled that sentence is too cruel.

However, the cruel method is a bit cruel, but the effect is really immediate.

Under Zhang Nan's operation, the production cost of the entire [Magic City Martial Art Museum] rapidly soared from the original several million dollars in just a few days.

When the cost of the filming progress of the entire crew is included, the production cost has reached more than 2000 million U.S. dollars.

"Is there a little left that can't be used up?"

Zhang Nan and Feng Xiaogang, who had just been promoted to assistant director, were sitting behind the monitor together.

But Zhang Nan didn't put much energy into filming, but looked at the budget carefully, and there were still a few million short of the production fee of 3000 million US dollars.

He didn't care if he talked about props and costumes, he was afraid that the person in charge of the props and costumes teams wouldn't be able to bear it.

The persons in charge of these two groups had listened to his price changes before.

The way he looked at him in his eyes gave the feeling of looking at a criminal.

If it weren't for his identity as a big star and a big director, these two guys would seem to call 110 at any time to send him in as a fraudster.

If the rest of this is added to the burden on the shoulders of these two people.

It was probably the last straw that broke the courage of these two people.

"Forget it, let's change the shooting schedule!" Zhang Nan shook his head and made another decision.
