China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 76 Additional Investment [Please read further]

Kang Honglei's dormitory.

Sun Yi was stunned for a moment after hearing this. He didn't know how to answer for a while. This news was indeed a bit sudden, because it was inconsistent with what he knew in his previous life.

This time is not like the previous movie channel's "A Little Red Flower for You", which he actively worked hard to obtain, but this time for "Soldier Assault", he did nothing at all.

Kang Honglei saw Sun Yi sitting there blankly without saying a word. He took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took one out and lit it.

The sound of a lighter brought Sun Yi back from his thoughts.

Kang Honglei took a deep breath and said:

"Xiaoyi, how are you? I'm relieved about your acting skills. Now it's a matter of your schedule. Let's hurry up and shoot. The tacit understanding between you and the leading actors is already very high. I estimate that we can shoot in one month at most. over."

There is definitely no problem in terms of time. Sun Yi's original plan was to go back to school after filming "Soldier Assault". The promotional activities for his album have come to an end. What is left is the graduation drama of the 02-level acting department of Beijing Film Academy. It is just at the end of March. , even if we shoot for another month, it will definitely be in time to go back at the end of April.

Sun Yi thought about it and replied with a smile:
"Director Kang, thank you for your support. I'm a young actor, so how can I have such a schedule? The time is definitely fine, but the news is a bit sudden. Can I ask the specific reason?"

Speaking of this reason, Kang Honglei was a little angry.

"The role of Cheng Cai was originally cast by Chen Sicheng, and he himself was very willing to play the role. I am quite satisfied with him. Before our film, he had a film contract with China TV Station's "Wang Zhaojun". Originally, Huayi said We will coordinate with the crew over there and find time to let Chen Sicheng come to our place to shoot, but now Huayi has regretted it and has been reluctant to let him go, and the crew can't afford to wait."

After hearing this, Sun Yi kept nodding his head and replied: "Oh, that's right, I understand." But his eyes gradually became complicated, as if he was thinking about something in his mind.

In fact, Sun Yi had already decided to star as soon as Kang Honglei asked. He was not a fool. This was a TV series that was bound to be a hit. If he had the opportunity to be the leading actor, he had no reason to give up. He was thinking about other things besides this accident. Starring, are there any other opportunities?

Kang Honglei saw Sun Yi frowning in thought and continued to explain to him.

"The time for our play is very tight. The tight part is not the actors' schedules, nor the daily costs, but mainly the venue and props."

Kang Honglei was a little excited as he spoke. He stretched out his fingers and pulled them up for Sun Yi. He didn't even notice the cigarette ashes falling on his pants.

"You see, our drama is about the military. It took a lot of effort to get the investment from Bayi Film Studio. In order to ensure authenticity, the filming locations of Gang [-]th Company and A Brigade were They are all serious military camps."

"Why did the army let us enter the barracks for filming? Was it because of me, Kang Honglei? I'm not a big deal. They only reluctantly agreed for the sake of the Bayi Factory."

"The army is a confidential unit. When we go into the military camp to shoot, the time plan is determined in advance and cannot be changed at all."

"As for the props, the tanks and armored vehicles we photographed were all real ones that were applied for. In order to cooperate with us, the misappropriated equipment has already delayed the army's spring training, and it cannot be postponed any longer."

Kang Honglei became more and more angry as he talked, his face flushed with emotion.

Originally, the director had to be responsible for a lot of things on the crew, big and small, and all kinds of trivial matters, which would inevitably make him feel irritable. However, this actor gave him such trouble to prevent him from worrying, and he had already been simmering with anger in his heart.

"Damn it, no Huayi does things like this. Yes, their family has a big business, so they don't like the small amount of money invested, but you can't delay the entire crew."

Looking at Kang Honglei, who was starting to curse, Sun Yi's thinking became clearer and clearer, especially the investor Huayi Company mentioned by Director Kang, which directly woke him up.

Sun Yi's brows spread, his eyes shone with light, and he advised Kang Honglei:

"Director Kang, don't be angry. It's not worth it. This is a big company, after all, people are under the roof."

Then he asked another question.

"By the way, Director Kang, how much money did they invest in our play?"

"Well, I also know it's useless to be angry. I just want to take the opportunity to vent. For our movie, Bayi Film Studio invested 400 million and Huayi invested 600 million, making up a total of 1000 million." Sun Yi heard this. This data surprised me a little, but after thinking about it for a moment, I understood it.

In the previous life, it was said that the total investment cost of "Soldier Assault" was 1200 million, but I was relieved when I thought of the usual holiday promotion routines used by film and television companies.

The total cost was 1000 million and 1200 million for external publicity. This must be regarded as a conscience discovery. I guess Huayi really disliked this drama and didn't even bother to make up a story when promoting it.

Sun Yi's surprised look made Kang Honglei misunderstood, thinking that Sun Yi had some concerns, so he hurriedly explained:

"Xiao Yi, don't worry. This change of roles was my idea and has nothing to do with you. I, Kang Honglei, am still a director. A company as big as Huayi will not get into trouble over this matter. Even if something happens, there will be no consequences. I’m holding on to it.”

Sun Yi didn't expect Kang Honglei to be quite generous and manly.But he did misunderstand. He really didn't think Huayi was anything.

Although I don’t think so in my heart, I still have to express my gratitude.

"Thank you, Director Kang. It's okay. I'm just a gangster now, so why should I be afraid of Huayi?"

Then, Sun Yi slapped his thigh again, pretending to be enlightened, and suddenly asked:
"By the way, Director Kang, look at my memory. Last time we had dinner, didn't you ask me if I was interested in investing? How much money did we have left for this movie?"

When Kang Honglei heard this, he waved his hands repeatedly and explained:

"Xiao Yi, I'm not here to invest in you. The crew's money is enough now even if it's tight. I really think you are suitable for the role of Cheng Cai. If I hadn't known you earlier, I wouldn't have been able to cast Chen Sicheng. "

Upon hearing this, Sun Yi understood that Director Kang had misunderstood again, and hurriedly explained:
"Director Kang, you misunderstood, I didn't mean it that way. I really like our drama, and I think if our drama can be successful, and we have enough money, wouldn't the result be better?"

Kang Honglei looked at Sun Yi's expression and asked:

"Sincere?"

Sun Yi nodded and replied:
"Absolutely sincere."

"Then I'll say it."

Sun Yi laughed and said:

"As long as you speak."

Kang Honglei believed it at this moment, as if he already had a plan in mind, and said without thinking:
"Well, if you can invest another 60 yuan, I can enhance the battle scenes in the film, make them larger and more intense, and the effect will be even more brilliant."

After finishing speaking, he added another sentence.

"By the way, the role of Cheng Cai lasts for 20 episodes in total. It turns out that Chen Sicheng's salary is 6000 per episode. I'll give you 1."

After hearing this, Sun Yi waved his hand and said decisively:

"In this case, Director Kang, I don't want my salary. Let's round it up and let me invest 100 million for you."

　It's Tuesday, please give me a follow-up reading, it is related to whether you can advance to next week's recommendation.

　　Thank you very much.

　　There should be another chapter at a later date.
