Entertainment: God-level Director Starts with Animals

At this time, Uncle Huang and the few people who were rescued by Xiao Yiran came to Xiao Yiran one by one.

Uncle Huang is very good at communicating and has no pretense.

He has a good relationship with the other lead actors now.

"Director Xiao, you saved my life and improved my acting skills. I toast you."

Huang Bo was very grateful.

"Director Xiao, I'll give you a toast too."

Another person stepped forward to raise a toast.

These people raised their glasses one by one and thanked Xiao Yiran.

It is impossible to understand the despair they faced at that time without first-hand experience.

And Xiao Yiran was a beam of light that pulled them out of the dark hell.

Therefore, they will remember Xiao Yiran's kindness to them forever.

"You don't need to talk about this tonight, just celebrate and everyone is happy."

Xiao Yiran said with a smile, he also responded to these people one by one, toasting and drinking together.

Some people also want to get Xiao Yiran drunk.

But later found out that it doesn't work at all.

Many people were drunk, but Xiao Yiran was not.

After a night of rest in the hotel, the crew went home.

Xiao Yiran also quickly returned to the studio.

In the studio, the atmosphere is relatively tense, and there is no atmosphere to celebrate the completion.

Xiao Yiran also noticed this situation, and he was a little surprised.

After the filming of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2", he asked people to prepare and have a meeting.

There are still a lot of things to do next, and the post-production work of sci-fi films is even more important.

They have to discuss who will be responsible for the special effects, when to promote it, and when to release it.

At the end of the meeting, everyone's brows furrowed even more, and they were obviously a little tired.

But it can be seen that these people are actually more worried.

Especially for some people in charge of finance, they are increasingly worried about the cost of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2".

This time they went to Shancheng to shoot, and they spent more than two months together.

In the past two months, a lot of materials have been consumed, not to mention the various costs of filming.

Looking at it this way, the budget of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2" has seriously exceeded their previous estimates.

Even if they are not financial people, these people can know that the expenses will not be small, however, they still have very important things to do.

The specific effects have not yet begun to be produced.

This is where the most money is spent.

After the meeting, Ju Jingyi did not leave.

Xiao Yiran asked Ju Jingyi to calculate the approximate investment.

Ju Jingyi is quickly calculating the cost, and her forehead is sweating more and more.

Although she tries her best to cut down on unnecessary expenses.

However, Ju Jingyi still felt that her teeth were cold, and the cold air was blowing.

After half an hour of intense statistics and estimation, Ju Jingyi stopped.

She began to report to Xiao Yiran the next budget for "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2".

"Director Xiao, since it's a science fiction movie and it's a live-action performance, the special effects we need are very expensive."

Ju Jingyi said to Xiao Yiran.

"I know this. You don't have to be so nervous. How much does it cost?"

Xiao Yiran looked at Ju Jingyi, who was very nervous, and let the other party relax. He was mentally prepared.

If you want to show the grand scenes of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2", special effects are essential.

Just those real people, each of them has to be displayed with special effects, and use special effects to enhance the realism.

That's a huge expense.

Add in some post-processing, and special effects can cost more than filming.

"Preliminary estimate... [-] million."

Ju Jingyi raised her fingers, her fingers were slender, but when she raised them, they all trembled a little.

· · · Flowers · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·?????

Xiao Yiran asked her to relax, but how could she relax, it was too difficult.

"Five hundred million is acceptable."

Xiao Yiran took a deep breath, although it was a bit too much, but if you want to have an effect, you have to spend money.

Science fiction films are a good example of throwing money at this.

It is impossible for some small workshops to make sci-fi blockbusters. The main battlefield of Xia Guo’s domestic movies is often love. Even though the investment in these movies is very small, the market is not small.

Although there was basically no problem shooting these films, Xiao Yiran always felt that the layout was a bit small.

If Xia Guo has always been these movies, then the inclusiveness of Xia Guo movies is too small.

Moreover, such a movie cannot be rushed out of the country at all, and it also affects the impression of Xia Guo movies by fans around the world.

......... 0

It is for this reason that since he started filming, he has basically never set foot in such slightly conventional love movies.

"It's just... the cost of this kind of movie is really high."

Xiao Yiran thought to himself.

Xiao Yiran doesn't have any feeling if there are animals appearing in it, but now there are no animals appearing, and all the actors are real people, which costs a lot.

However, Xiao Yiran thought it was acceptable.

At this moment, Ju Jingyi shook her head.

"Director Xiao... This is just the cost of special effects..."

Ju Jingyi is not as optimistic as Xiao Yiran.

"We take into account all the costs of filming, special effects and publicity, and that's the total cost."

Ju Jingyi looked at the table numbers on the screen.

This number is horrific.

"A total of one billion..."

Ju Jingyi said solemnly.

"so much?!"

Xiao Yiran couldn't help being a little shocked when he heard this.

a billion...

This seems to be the most expensive movie he has ever made.

There are not many movies in the world, and sci-fi movies are also very expensive, but there are basically no movies that have invested one billion yuan.

Xiao Yiran was stunned, this is indeed an astonishing number.

He immediately looked at Ju Jingyi, who also had a bitter face at this time, as if she felt that she was wasting money.

It was only then that he realized that he seemed to have lost his temper.

"There is no way to do this. The number of actors has increased, and it happened to encounter cold air during filming. One billion is one billion."

Xiao Yiran tries to comfort Ju Jingyi Daoer.

Chapter 367 Expensive special effects fees

The cost of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes 2" is huge, which is well known to everyone in the industry.

The directors are very good at reckoning, and they know how much money Xiao Yiran needs to complete the film.

All are real scenes, and these real people have to be packaged with special effects.

After Xiao Yiran determined the special effects budget, he was not overly surprised, and then outsourced the special effects production.

This is a very famous special effects production company, which is the top in China, and there are many internationally renowned special effects masters in the company.

Of course, the price is not cheap, the price is calculated according to each frame, and the character special effects have to be calculated separately.

Xiao Yiran quietly waited for the result.

A week has passed.

Xiao Yiran received the special effects from the special effects company, which should be regarded as model special effects.

The sample was shown to Xiao Yiran, of course, to let Xiao Yiran see how "Nine Nine Zeros" worked.

The special effects company has to know what kind of special effects Xiao Yiran wants to continue producing.

After Xiao Yiran got some special effects, he watched it carefully.

After some time has passed.

Xiao Yiran nodded after reading it, the special effects were very good, especially the special effects of Caesar, which had all the performances it should have.

Caesar is the protagonist of this movie. Uncle Huang played it very well, but with special effects, it would be even better.
