China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 459 The script is done, Producer Liu? 【Please subscribe】

In the small courtyard, Sun Yi sat in front of the computer, typed the last word, stared at the screen for a long time, and then slowly exhaled a breath.

After more than half a month, the first version of the script adaptation was finally completed.

The whole script can be said to be based on the tragic background of the first-generation air force officers in the early days of the Anti-Japanese War as the main line, supplemented by the love stories of the hero Huang Guoxing and the heroine Yang Wanyu during the special period.

Among them, Huang Guoxing and Yang Wanyu were re-creations based on real figures in history.

Although the script focuses on two people, Sun Yi also used a lot of space to introduce the heroes of the first generation of the Air Force.

Including Gao Zhihang, Li Guidan, Yan Haiwen, Chen Huaimin, Shen Chongjie and other heroes who sacrificed their lives.

The remaining problem is to hand over the script to the Air Administration for review and then step up preparations.

After passing the script to Uncle Wang, Sun Yi came to the small courtyard to smoke a cigarette and calm his mind.

At this moment, the sound of a car engine was faintly heard outside the courtyard gate.

Sun Yi opened the courtyard door and happened to see Liu Yifei standing at the door waving to Zhang Xin.

"Xinxin, drive slower when you go back."

"I know, Hello, Director Sun, Sister Yifei."

"Well, slow down, you've had a hard day today."

"Should be."

After Zhang Xin drove away, Liu Yifei immediately stepped forward and hugged Sun Yi.

"Why are you so kind and came out to pick me up today?"

"My daughter-in-law is busy with work, isn't it my duty to do this?"

"As long as you can say it. I'll reward you with one, mua."

The two returned to the house.

Sun Yi looked at Liu Yifei, who looked tired and had difficulty changing clothes, walked over, helped her unzip the back of her dress, and asked with concern: "Why, are you tired today?"

The black dress brushed the ground and slid to the ground.

A delicate body was exposed to the air in vain.

Looking at the graspable waist and the smooth white back in front of him, Sun Yi, who had no dirty thoughts at all, couldn't help but start to have his own thoughts.

Liu Yifei didn't care. She just turned her head slightly and threatened lazily: "Don't look at it." Then she turned her back to Sun Yi and took off the bra patch, smoothed her hair, put on a home vest, and put it on again. pajamas.

When he turned around and looked at Sun Yi, who was standing there blankly and had not yet come to his senses, he couldn't help but smile and said with a slightly blushing look on his face: "I haven't seen enough yet!"

"oh oh."

He helped Liu Yifei put away the dress and hung it in the closet, then got her a glass of water before sitting back on the sofa.

"It's hard work."

Liu Yifei rested her head on Sun Yi's shoulder, frowned slightly, and whispered: "It's not that I'm tired, it's just that the movie was very uncomfortable to watch."

Sun Yi lowered his head, feeling helpless.

"Did you see it?"

"Yeah." Xiao Nizi nodded aggrievedly.

Sun Yi couldn't help but smile, "I told you not to look at it."

"How can you not look at that situation? Besides, why don't you look at me? You're not here."

"Uh, okay, blame me."

"Hey, brother, have you seen the movie?"

Sun Yi closed his mouth, nodded and replied: "At the beginning of the month, I was invited to watch the film at China Film's screening party, but it was just the first cut."

Liu Yifei "suddenly" sat up, took Sun Yi's arm, and asked with a puzzled look: "Tell me, are his movies good or bad? I feel special when I watch them. I feel tired, and I really feel like I can’t help but be angry as you said. But the film critics and directors at the scene all said that the movie was well made, so I was wondering if it was my fault."

Sun Yi couldn't help but smile and asked: "Then what do these so-called professionals say?"

Liu Yifei thought for a moment, and then said it.

Sun Yi smiled and said in a guiding light: "If you think about it carefully, their evaluations are all good, but do they specify what is good about them? They are all praising, but the words they use to praise are very general and can be used casually. Does it apply to any movie?"

Liu Yifei tilted her head, thought for a moment, her eyes became brighter, and suddenly slapped Sun Yi's thigh, and exclaimed: "Yes, it's true, so they all did it on purpose. It’s not that my level of appreciation is not good enough.”

Here Liu Yifei finally defended her appreciation ability, the tiredness on her face disappeared, and she was extremely excited.

Sun Yi over there was in pain. He was grinning in pain and pressing his thigh, rubbing it back and forth.

"I'll go. You don't know how to pat your legs."

"You think I'm stupid, how painful it is!"

"."

"Liu Qianqian, let me take the photo back!"

"You think beautiful."

"Then I'm not done with you tonight, don't even think about sleeping."

"I hate it~~~I can only let you touch it once."

"Twice!"

Taking advantage of Uncle Wang's time to review the script, Sun Yi quickly contacted Yang Fan and Mike to prepare for the preliminary work of the movie. Sun Yi was confident that his manuscript would not be rejected, and even if it was revised, it would probably be a small-scale revision.

The tentative name of the script is "The First Generation of Air Force". The air force administration must give specific guidance on this name issue, so Sun Yi is too lazy to name it now.

Yang Fan looked at the "First Generation Air Force" project plan, brushed his hair on his head, and asked Mike with a sad look on his face.

"How much do you need for special effects for this film?"

Mike spread his hands, made an exaggerated expression, and tried his best to nuzzle at Sun Yi, saying: "It depends on what effect our boss wants to achieve, in a sense. Special effects can be achieved. Uncapped.”

Sun Yi rubbed his nose, thought for a while, and asked Mike: "Which company produced the special effects in "Pearl Harbor"?"

"Boss, Industrial Light and Magic."

"How much did the special effects in the film cost?"

"The total production cost of "Pearl Harbor" was US$1.5 million, of which about US$1 million was spent on special effects."

"I wipe it, so much!"

"Higher than Pacific Rim?"

Not only Sun Yi, but also Yang Fan sat up in shock. Both of them looked at Mike with expressions of disbelief.

"Easy, easy!"

Mike stretched out his hand and pressed down on the two of them, then explained: "In similar war movies, the application of weapons and equipment is also included in the cost of special effects. The rental of weapons and equipment for the US military is not cheap at all. Also Those war scenes and explosion scenes are all like this. If you only count the computer special effects production, it would cost about 4000 to 5000 million US dollars."

"I'm shocked. The company's account is about to be wiped out again. If it's this amount, it might as well kill me." Yang Fan patted his chest and complained as hard as he could.

It seems that Sun Yi is also concerned about the company's economic situation. As the company successively invests in "Untouchable" and "The Legend of Zhen Huan", the original remaining money has been almost used up.

As for the production funds for "Pacific Rim", China Film Group's part has been burned out, and the additional US$800 million has also used up the last bit of Starry Sky's savings.

If Sun Yi had not had the foresight to use the special effects department to develop several small games such as Renren Farm and Grab a Parking Space, he would now be able to make a stable profit of more than 1000 million yuan every month and continue to invest in it. The capital chain of the "Huan Tai" project It has been discontinued long ago.

But now that there is another "First Generation Air Force", it is really difficult for some clever women to make a meal without straw.

Thinking of this, Sun Yi sighed and asked Mike tentatively: "If it were to be produced according to the special effects level of "Pearl Harbor" and co-produced by my digital domain and Starry Sky Digital, how much would it cost?"

Mike thought for a long time, and just when Sun Yi and Yang Fan could hardly wait any longer, he finally replied:
  "Sorry, boss, I can't figure it out."

"The cost of computer special effects is a very precise thing. Even if it is at the level of "Pearl Harbor", we still have to calculate the specific shots, the number of explosion scenes, the man-hours required for rendering and synthesis, etc. I really can't calculate it."

Yang Fan looked helpless, and so did Sun Yi.

This foreigner is very serious. I didn’t ask for a specific number, just a rough idea.

"Well, Mike, under the same conditions, using the digital field and starry sky digital, we can re-produce "Pearl Harbor". Please note how much the special effects cost will be."

After receiving the specific request, Mike finally nodded with understanding, frowned and began to calculate.

After a while, he solemnly said to the two of them: "About 2000 million U.S. dollars, the highest will not exceed 2500 million U.S. dollars, and it may be lower."

"Damn it, how can it be so different?"

Yang Fan looked unbelievable, and Sun Yi was also confused.

Mike shrugged and explained: "Boss, through your arrangement, the digital field has cooperated with Starry Sky Digital Division of Labor. The cost of special effects in the United States has been reduced by almost double. After all, "Pearl Harbor" is a technology from 10 years ago. , the level of special effects today has improved a lot.”

"oh, I see."

After hearing this, Sun Yi became somewhat enlightened.

According to his calculations, the special effects level of the movie "The First Air Force" can reach that of "Pearl Harbor", and it will definitely cost less than 2000 million US dollars, which is about half. After all, there are no naval battles here, and the early Anti-Japanese War , after all, the models of various aircraft are backward and the scale is small. There is basically no bombing by hundreds of aircraft in "Pearl Harbor".

Dozens of planes are often dispatched here, and hundreds of planes are considered extremely large-scale battles.

Therefore, the special effects budget of this movie should be about 1000 million US dollars, which is less than 8000 million RMB. The rest depends on what Uncle Wang will charge for various weapons, equipment and personnel.

"8000 million? No, the company will definitely not be able to afford it now. If you choose one of "Rantamo" or "The First Generation of Air Force", you definitely can't make both at the same time. We don't have that much money."

Even though it has been reduced a lot, Yang Fan still shakes his head like a rattle when he hears the number 8000 million.

Sun Yi had nothing to do, and Yang Fan was right. Several big projects were launched at the same time, which indeed had a great impact on the company.

Counting Audi's advertising income and the album copyright income I have saved, I still have about 3000 million, but there is still a gap of 5000 million. Besides, this is only the special effects cost. The entire film cost does not include Air Force Art. The center has 2000 million, but it has to prepare another [-] million.

This alone may not be enough.

It seems that I have to go out and borrow money.

After hesitating for a long time, Sun Yi made up his mind.

He took out his mobile phone in front of the two of them, then put a finger to his lips to signal them to be silent. Then he rubbed his cheeks, coughed a few times, pulled the corner of his mouth, and dialed the number. He asked in a gentle and slightly deep voice:
  "Daughter-in-law, what are you doing?"

"I'm cooking for you."

"Oh, my wife, thank you for your hard work."

"If you have anything to say, tell me quickly. I'll take care of it."

"Um, wife, are you interested in becoming a producer?"

"Pfft" Yang Fan almost spit out the tea and thought to himself.

This dog is better than my own daughter-in-law!
