The Godfather of Almighty Entertainment

Chapter 1734 A Bottomless Pit That Can't Be Filled!
I'll go, just give me a budget at the beginning!Xu Juan murmured in his heart when he heard the words, and after thinking about it, he said: "Then you can ask other shipyards and shop around to see if there is a cheaper one." The budget of several million dollars is not just a word, After all, this is the beginning of making props and scenery, and this is starting to exceed the budget, so what should I do after that?How much over budget?

"I have just asked three shipyards that are capable of producing the hulls we need. Twenty-five million is already the lowest quotation of these three shipyards. The other two are asking for twenty-seven million and two thousand respectively. Eight million," Smith said.

"So it's really impossible to lose weight?" Xu Duan asked.

"I'm afraid so." Smith nodded.

"Okay, you can give Director Li Yuan the contact information of the contact person later, and ask him to contact the shipyard for customization." Xu Duan said.

"No problem." Smith nodded.

This is not a good omen, the budget has already been exceeded at the very beginning, Xu Duan murmured in his heart after solving the problem of customizing the big ship.

It's just that he hasn't finished muttering yet, and the scenery department over there also brought him exciting news.

"Boss, our budget is not enough." A middle-aged man with a mustache ran over and shouted at Xu Duan.

"Why isn't it enough?" Xu Juan's heart skipped a beat when he heard the words, because the production of the scene would also be the main part of the play, and he needed to restore the scene in the script as it was, but that can't be restored just by talking After all, no one specially created a scene for him to use. He needs to rent a building, and then let people spend money to renovate the entire scene, but the transformation is easy to say. People's buildings, because they were originally a good building, why should you renovate them?right?

"The only building we looked at yesterday that was eligible for renovation allowed us to start construction at $500 million, the cost of materials for the renovation was $500 million, the cost of labor was $100 million, the cost of renovation was $300 million, and the cost of renovation and restoration was also $300 million. Ten thousand dollars." Mustache said.

"In other words, it exceeded the budget of 500 million US dollars?!" Xu Duan asked, well, another 500 million US dollars is about to be released.

"Does Director Lin Lei know about this?" Xu Duan asked, and after Xu Duan explained the scene production, he handed it over to Lin Lei and Qin Yong.

"I know, this price was negotiated by Director Lin." Mustache said.

"Okay, you report this budget price to Director Lin, just tell me what I said, and let her approve it for you." Xu Juan said after hearing the words, it is obvious that Lin Lei asked him to find him. Yinger needs a budget, because the whole team knows that Lin Yinger is extremely picky about the budget, and you really don't even want a cent of the budget without Xu Duan's agreement.

"Hey." Hearing this, Mustache nodded and ran away.

In a blink of an eye, the budget exceeded 1000 million US dollars. Even Xu Duan, who was rich and powerful, couldn't help but sigh.

However, this is just the beginning.

Soon, the old man Brown from the clothing department also came to ask for a budget.

"Boss, our budget is not enough." Brown ran over sweating profusely.

"Have you discussed it today?" Xu Juan couldn't help it immediately when he heard the words, everyone came with this sentence pattern, did you agree to wait for me here?

"No." Brown was a little stunned.

"Why are you over budget again?" Xu Duan asked.

"We..." Brown heard Xu Duan, but after all, costumes can't be compared with such expensive departments as scenery and props. Although they exceed the budget, they are not as fierce as them. They come up in minutes. A couple of million dollars over, but Brown didn't want less, and the entire costume department was nearly a million dollars over budget.

And Brown's reasons can be summed up in one sentence, soaring prices.

In fact, it’s not surprising. Xu Duan’s remake of this movie was released in 97. At that time, the investment was screaming and went straight to [-] million U.S. dollars. When he remakes it in this era, the price is not the same price, and it does not exceed the budget. No wonder.

Obviously, the over-budget caused by soaring prices is not limited to the few departments in front of us.

Soon, the production department is over budget...

The photography department is over budget...

The lighting department budget...

……

Xu's severed head was too big if the budget was exceeded, and the budget went up like crazy.
"My mother, I want to cry!" Xu Duan burst into tears as he watched the budget exceed nearly 2000 million US dollars every minute.

However, just when he wanted to cry but had no tears, the art director classmate brought him a more serious bad news.

"Boss, I think our budget may have to be raised." The first sentence the art director said at the meeting made Xu Duan want to beat him to death. I'm already over 2000 million and you still ask me to raise it. If you say another word, believe it or not, I'll kill him you!

"Why?" Xu Duan rubbed his temples and his head ached.

"Because according to the current budget, I don't think the scenery and props can achieve the effect we expected." The art director is a middle-aged man in his 40s, and he speaks calmly, but his words must be broken The effect of life.

Art director, looking at this name, many people may think that this position is not important, but the reality is that this position is extremely important, because no matter the set, props, lighting or other departments, everything related to the scene needs to be controlled by him guide.

And after some guidance from the art director, the budget went up to 500 million with a click.

"Twenty-five million!" Xu Duan was really about to cry this time, because it's US dollars, and if it's in China, it's enough to make a so-called blockbuster movie. In the end, his initial budget alone exceeded this much. many.

"Xu Duan, I'm going to kill you!" The budget was finally so high that Lin Yinger couldn't help but go crazy, she ran over screaming and grabbed Xu Duan's neck, looking like she was going to fight Xu Duan Looks like, thinking that she usually spends an extra three or five yuan, I feel distressed for a long time. If you give her a budget of more than 500 million U.S. dollars, which is equivalent to more than 7000 million soft sister coins, then don't you want her to die?
"Cough, let go, let go!" Xu Duan was so out of breath by Lin Yinger's pinch, he hurriedly patted Lin Yinger's hand pinching his neck.

"If you dare to exceed the budget again, I'll chop you up and make dumplings and sell them to fill the budget hole!" Lin Yinger stared at Xu Duan angrily.

"You think I want it!" Xu Duan said with a sad face, more than 7000 million soft sister coins, one year's domestic copyright fee for a good voice is equivalent to nothing, do you think buddies think about it?
"I don't care if you want it or not, anyway, if you dare to exceed the budget, I'll hack you to death!" Lin Yinger gritted her teeth, can she stop gnashing her teeth?Originally, the investment was huge, a full [-] million US dollars, but now it's good, the budget has skyrocketed before the filming starts, how much more will it have to wait until the filming starts?Fortunately, this is Xu Duan, Lin Yinger would have picked up a knife and slashed directly. Didn't Li Yuan and Lin Lei's ghost shadows that they had been hiding for a long time not be able to see?I'm just worried that Lin Yinger will go crazy.
