Entertainment: Defamation, I definitely don’t have any hidden rules

The school was very supportive of Cao An’s filming. Not only did it grant him an office for free use, but it also allowed him to use the school’s buildings for free during the filming.

So Cao An arranged the base scene of the Victory Team in the school’s library.

The library of the Imperial Capital Film Academy is a whole building, and Cao An certainly couldn’t use it all. Only in the early stage of shooting some scenes of people walking and communicating, a panoramic view was needed, and the rest was not used.

The office of the Victory Team chose a computer room in the library, and the computers and other equipment were used directly, but the layout was changed.

The first scene shot by the Ultraman Tiga crew was the introduction of the Victory Team.

Going up the stairs from the gate, office staff came and went, and finally a small car carrying a round meteorite entered the combat center of the Victory Team.

The first scene ended after all the members of the Victory Team showed their faces one by one.

After this set of filming, the actors present all looked at Cao An with admiration. They didn’t expect that the young director who had just turned 18 would show off his muscles to everyone.

One shot is good in theory, but there are only a handful of directors who can really shoot it well.

Now the director who looks a bit immature has perfectly demonstrated it.

Not only is it a one-shot shot, but it is also a successful one-shot shot.

It not only shows the director’s strong strength, but also his excellent coordination ability.

Cao An, who was sitting behind the camera, watched the playback and felt that there was no problem, so he started shooting the second scene directly.

“Episode 1, Act 2, action!”

Before everyone had time to praise the director, the shooting began, and they hurriedly got ready.

This scene is the members of the Victory Team studying the black meteorite, discovering ancient machines from it, and hearing ancient prophecies.

“The way to wake up the giant is to let…”

As the prophecy disappeared, everyone began to discuss, and at this time, Gu Mengyang, the protagonist, excitedly walked to the center of the screen.

“This is true. She said that Golzan would appear. Didn’t she say it right?”

“Cut!”

Cao An immediately stopped the performance and said to him: “In addition to expressing doubts, you should also express concerns about the future. You lack this emotion.”

Then Cao An demonstrated it to him, “Do you understand?”

“Yes, I understand.”

“Okay, you perform it first.”

He copied Cao An’s demonstration, and after Cao An’s guidance, he finally performed perfectly and continued filming.

Everyone saw Cao An helping the actors perform, and their admiration for him increased a little.

No one in the crew looked down on him anymore.

This also made Cao An a lot easier in the subsequent filming. As long as he pointed out the problems, no one would object.

Even Zeng Li and Li Youbin, who were already well-known, would humbly listen to Cao An’s suggestions and perform them.

Everyone cooperated with each other, the filming progressed quickly, and Cao An’s filming funds for the competition were also consumed quickly.

Cao An ran out of money just after half of the script was filmed.

This was under the premise that Cao An was careful with his budget, otherwise he would not have been able to film even one-third of the film.

For example, the filming equipment and venue Cao An used were from the school, and they did not charge for any of this.

The landscaping, model making, etc. were all done by finding “cheap” college students.

With Cao An’s set of settings, the production was not bad.

Cao An directly found the domestic Xiaojiang company to sponsor the fighter jets of the Victory Team.

Xiaojiang was also very generous and not only agreed to help transform the drone into a fighter jet, but also sent a drone operator to assist in the filming.

In this way, the 10 million yuan Cao An received was quickly consumed.

After all, Ultraman Tiga is a special film, which contains various scenes that do not exist in reality and need to build physical models.

There are also various monster suits, which are extremely expensive.

There was no other way, Cao An could only find Teacher Zhao.

“Teacher Zhao, I’m halfway through filming. You can’t just leave the whole crew alone.”

“Didn’t I tell you to be frugal?”

“Teacher, I’ve been very frugal. Not a penny was wasted. If you don’t believe me, ask Sister Wang from the competition to check the accounts.”

Sister Wang is an accountant assigned to the crew by the competition. Her main responsibility is to supervise the use of funds and prevent the participating directors from pocketing the money.

Teacher Zhao also knows that the filming of “Ultraman Tiga” is very expensive. It’s already very powerful that Cao An can shoot 12 episodes with 10 million.

“Well, it’s not that there is no way, but…”

“But what?” Cao An asked immediately after hearing that Teacher Zhao had a way.

“When the competition was first established, it also anticipated this situation and left a process for increasing filming funds.”

“What process, teacher, tell me.Next, I will apply. ”

“The process is also very simple. You just need to convince the three contest committee members that the drama you shot is worth continuing to invest. With the quality of Tiga, this is not difficult.

But after the extra funds are applied for, all the copyrights of the drama you shot will belong to the contest. ”

Hearing this, Cao An hesitated a little. He didn’t want to give up all the copyrights of Ultraman Tiga.

As long as Ultraman Tiga can be filmed and successfully broadcast on TV, the value of this IP is more than 1 billion.

Seeing Cao An’s hesitation, Teacher Zhao continued: “It’s not impossible for you to take back the copyright. As long as the income of Ultraman Tiga exceeds the filming funds given to you by the contest in the future, the copyright will be back in your hands. ”

“After all, the contest doesn’t really want your copyright, but it’s not a charity organization and will not increase the filming funds for free. ”

Now Cao An understood that this is also an insurance mechanism for the competition.

After all, even if other dramas lose money, they will not exceed 10 million, but after additional investment, the loss will be huge.

After Cao An figured it out, he immediately said to Teacher Zhao: “It’s okay, Teacher Zhao, I agree to this agreement.”

Cao An has sufficient confidence in the profitability of Ultraman Tiga.

Not to mention anything else, it would be a blasphemy to Ultraman Tiga if he doesn’t make tens of millions a year just from selling toys.

After Cao An agreed, he followed Teacher Zhao to persuade other competition committee members, and the process went smoothly.

The 15 million shooting funds applied for on the third day were issued to Sister Wang.

The reason why Cao An had an extra 5 million was that he reserved it for post-production after the shooting.

Since the team has been running-in, and many models can be reused, the second half of the shooting does not need to be With 10 million, Cao An was confident that he could finish filming with 7 or 8 million.

It was safer to leave 6 or 7 million for post-production.

After all, he still wanted to polish the drama better.

Cao An resumed work, but once the news that he applied for filming funds again was posted on the official website, it immediately caused heated discussions among netizens.

Not only netizens were discussing, but also saying that Cao An was a liar who cheated for funds.

Some contestants also expressed dissatisfaction with this.

After all, Cao An himself got the highest-level filming funds, and he applied for 15 million again, which was unfair and there was a shady deal.
