Chapter 1733 Is Your Work Enthusiasm Only So Little?
"Our props team is all here, right?" Xu Duan first arranged tasks for the clothing and make-up department before gathering the props team to arrange work.

"Report to the boss, all the staff are here!" The person who answered Xu Duan's question was a big cow in props, named Smith, who looked very excited, and he was not to be blamed for being excited, because since the contract was signed, , He has been idle for more than a month, and he almost fell ill. Finally, he came to work, and his enthusiasm for work suddenly became high. After all, he took so much money. It looks like the money is going to fly.

"Okay, then let me talk about our next work." Xu Duan said.

"Boss, please tell me, I will lead someone to do it right away! I guarantee that you will be satisfied with the boss." Smith's enthusiasm for work is unprecedented.

"At present, we have to do the same thing besides the planned props with the signs of the times." Xu Duan said.

"What is it?" Smith doesn't know who he learned from, it's like talking about cross talk, Xu Duan said something and he praised it.

"It's a model of a ship." Xu Duan said.

"That's easy! I'll take care of it!" Smith said immediately when he heard the words.

"Maybe bigger."

"no problem!"

"The ratio is one to one." Xu Duan said.

"That's too...scary, boss, what did you say?!" Smith was about to say something simple when he heard the words, but suddenly realized what Xu Duan meant, and he was petrified at the time, because Xu Duan was going to shoot a big ship, passing by After sorting out the shots and sorting out the script, Smith already had some ideas about the production of props, but no matter how thoughtful he was, he never thought that Xu Duan would ask him to make a one-to-one model of a large ship. what?
"I said to make a big ship model one by one." Xu Duan said.

Even though Smith was enthusiastic about his work, he was shocked when he heard that, because the ship was really big, tens of thousands of tons!one to one...

"Boss, is it too late for me to quit now?" Smith said with a dazed look on his face. My buddy is just a prop master, not a technician of a shipbuilding company.

puff.

Xu Duan vomited blood when he heard the words, didn't you just feel enthusiastic about your work?That's all for your enthusiasm for work?
"It's too late." Xu Duan waved his hand and said, "Actually, don't be so surprised. I didn't intend to make a complete model, but only made half of the shell for later synthesis."

"That's impossible, that's too big!" Smith said.

"That's why I invited you, my dear Mr. Smith, otherwise wouldn't I have spent so much money in vain?" Xu Duan said, buddy, do you think it's a waste of money to spend so much money?It's not difficult, why should I seek you?

"So... how much is the budget?" Smith asked.

"Let's budget 2000 million first." Xu Duan said, this is a big job, such a big ship, if you just build an empty shell, even half of it, it can't be solved with a small amount of money, because it is really too big.

"Dollars?" Smith asked.

"U.S. dollars." Xu Duan nodded, jokingly, 2000 million Ruanmei coins are enough for you to just buy steel, and also build ships, can you build them?
"What about...time? How much time do we have?" Smith asked again.

"How about a month?" Xu Duan asked, he didn't know how long it would take to finish such a job, so he asked tentatively.

Smith: "..." One month, one month is enough to dry hair, such a big boat, one month you can build me a shell and let me see it.

"Isn't it enough?" Seeing Smith's embarrassing expression, Xu Duan asked again tentatively, "How about a month and a half?"

"Half a year, at least half a year!" Seeing that Xu Duan gave him half a month to increase the time, Smith became anxious. Can such a big thing be solved in ten days and half a month?
"Half a year is too long." Xu Juan said immediately after hearing the words.

"This is the lowest time limit, and it can't be built in half a year!" Smith said.

"Then are you sure you will be able to come up with the finished product in half a year?" Xu Duan thinks about it too, after all, with his size there, it is impossible to say that a few people who are like ordinary props can use it with just a pinch, and you can't handle that thing It's still falling apart.

"Not sure." Smith shook his head and said, just kidding, let alone him, so far no one in the whole world has built such a powerful prop, who made a movie and made a real ship out of it?What a breakthrough.

"It's okay to be unsure." Xu Duan said, his principle of doing things is that the work can be completed ahead of schedule, but the construction period must not be delayed.

"I'm really not sure, because I really don't have a precedent for making such a prop! I can't estimate how long it will take to make it." Smith said seriously.

"Then do you think this works? We cooperate with the shipyard, we provide the model drawings, and let the shipyard manufacture the models we need. Can this compress a certain amount of time?" Xu Duan asked after thinking about it.

"I'll contact you to inquire about this first. It's just a specific situation. I'm afraid I still need to wait for a reply." Smith is a serious work buddy, and he didn't seem to say anything when he heard the words.

"Okay, you ask first, give me an answer after asking, and then we will formulate the specific production process." Xu Duan nodded, and after confirming the plan for making the big ship, he began to discuss with the props team how to make those small ones props.

For example, the dinner plates, knives, forks, backpacks and accessories of that era, as well as various travel tools in line with the characteristics of the era, etc. It can be said that basically basic necessities of life require props to find ways to make them. It looks smaller than a big ship, but it’s really hard to see. It's easier than that. The workload of props in this movie can definitely be regarded as an epic workload.

"Boss, other things are easy to handle, what about this car?" Someone asked.

"You can contact some film and television prop companies to rent this, right? Don't you often shoot some period dramas?" Xu Duan asked, so the UK is old, so it's normal to shoot period dramas, right?Moreover, props such as cars in that era were recyclable, so it should be able to give birth to some film and television prop companies that make a living from this, right?
"That's fine." The man nodded upon hearing that, and there was indeed such a situation.

"However, there is one thing to pay attention to. The rented props must conform to the reality of that era. At least it must be confirmed that they were produced before that era, not later." Xu Duan said as if giving a vaccination.

"Well, this is no problem." The man nodded.

Everyone was discussing, and Smith came back after contacting the shipyard.

"Boss, the budget is not enough." Smith brought back bad news to Xu Duan when he came back.

"Why not enough?" Xu Duan asked after hearing the words.

"The shipyard said that the price of steel alone is 500 US dollars per ton. If we want to manufacture such a large ship, the cost of materials alone will already exceed 500 million US dollars. Adding the cost of processing and manufacturing, the final manufacture may require at least Twenty-five million dollars," Smith said.

"Didn't you tell him that we only need to make half of it?" Xu Duan asked.

"They said it was already factored in, otherwise it would cost at least $4000 million if it were made full-scale," Smith said.
