“The cost of the actors is over. Then let’s look at the cost of various miscellaneous props. I noticed that among the cost of $300010000 in props, 150010000 is the cost of a fixed building such as a studio. I won’t discuss it for the time being, our problem lies in the remaining 150010000 various props.”

“These props are as small as a wine glass and only sell for 30 cents on the outside, but here it costs 30 dollars. As large as a huge crystal chandelier for 3010000 dollars, doesn’t Mr. Jon think these things are too expensive?”

“There are also these luxury decorations. Although most of the luxury items are counterfeit, all of them, such as furs and backpacks, all require the same authenticity that year. The total cost of these luxury items is as high as 80010000 US dollars. Is this too high?” Boss Jia asked, pointing to the items on the list.

“This… this is also something that can’t be helped. If the movie is to be made, these things must be needed. Because this is a 1912 event, all the furnishings must conform to the style and characteristics of 1912!”

“But it has been more than 1912 years since 80. No one is producing these old objects anymore. All the props need to be specially customized and then made by hand. These all are things that cannot be produced by assembly lines. You can only rely on labor!”

“In the United States, labor and assembly lines have two different prices. The same thing assembly line costs only one dollar, and labor may cost 2 dollars. The price is so high, there is no way!” Jon thought Boss Jia is a Chinese, no Knowing the national conditions of the United States, he explained patiently.

“Mr. Jon does not need to explain. I don’t have any questions about the price of this list. In fact, I am pretty sure that these things are indeed worth the price in the United States!” .

Since Boss Jia knows all the truth, why should I talk nonsense?

“But Mr. Jon just said that these things are expensive because they all need to be made by hand, and the materials themselves are not outstanding, right!” Boss Jia asked with a smile.

“En!” Jon nodded.

“Then we find a place where workers’ wages are cheap to buy these things, isn’t it all right!” Boss Jia said with squinting eyes.

“Mr. Jia, what do you mean?” Jon was stunned.

“I mean, why do we have to purchase these items in the United States? We can purchase them in China!” Boss Jia snapped his fingers, and the Secretary behind sent a thick report.

Then Boss Jia continued, “Actually, I have already inquired about these props. We can make them in China, and the price is very cheap!”

“China?” Jon was stunned for a moment, and then instinctively said with a skeptical expression, “Mr. Jia, it’s not that I have any prejudice against China, but China seems to be a bit backward in technology. Can they really make these things?”

“Hahaha!” Boss Jia couldn’t help but laugh when he heard it. “Mr. Jon, if we are going to make a modern movie, then I might also worry about the level of technological production. But our movie is a description of 1912. It’s a full 80 years away from the movie of 50. Even if China’s technological level is 1912 years behind the world, that’s enough to make the 1 old bastard!”

“This is…” Jon heard nodded.

“And I saw that many of the things in it can only be produced with some old traditional equipment. These equipment have been eliminated in the United States. There are still many in China. This is also very convenient!”

“Trust me, I have done a very detailed investigation. There are indeed about 10% of the old objects in this list, which cannot be made in China and can still be made in the United States. But the remaining 90% can be guaranteed by China. Manufactured, there will be no problems!”

“So…” Jon hesitated. “But the United States and China have two styles, and these old objects have many details. The Chinese are different from the Americans, and they may not be able to restore these things perfectly!”

“Don’t worry about it! As long as you can provide us with pictures and drawings, it will not make a big difference if you draw a scoop with bottle gourd.” Boss Jia waved his hand “Mr. Jon, I would like to ask, you Do you remember what happened in 1912 now?”

“I was born in 1932…” Jon was dumbfounded. “How could I have seen something from 1912!”

“That’s right. How many people in the United States can remember the events of 1912, remember that many furnishings and objects in 1912, they have no real memory, how do they know whether these things are perfect in detail? As long as the overall atmosphere Now, they won’t question it!” Boss Jia lightly saying.

Things from 1912 are similar to costume films. It is true that no one cares about a lot of details. Besides, Boss Jia has tried his best to be perfect, but there is always no perfect perfection in the world.

“But…” Jon Landau still hesitated.

“50010000 US dollars!” Boss Jia suddenly opened the mouth and said, “These 150010000 things, put in China to do, only cost 50010000 US dollars at most. And if any problem goes wrong, I will be responsible for everything!”

“Then it’s okay!” Jon closed his mouth, which saved another $100010000 in expenses. Compared with $100010000, some details are really nothing.

Besides, to be honest, what China produces may not be worse than what the Americans produce!

“In this way, we have saved $200010000!” Boss Jia laughed, then pointed to the special effects section and said, “In addition, in terms of special effects, I think it can save at least half of the cost, which is $200010000!”

“$200010000? This is impossible, Cameron will never compromise, it’s the expenditure on special effects!” Jon heard it, and said immediately.

“No special effect level, don’t worry, we won’t reduce the special effect level! Some special effects must be available, and even better than originally planned!” Boss Jia said with a smile.

“Then this is even more impossible! Mr. Jia, you don’t want to give the special effects to you Chinese to do the same!” Jon became anxious when he heard that “Mr. Jia, please forgive me to speak bluntly, other You Chinese people may indeed be able to do things, but in terms of special effects, only us Americans in the world can do it. You don’t even have a special effects studio in China. This way, you can’t do the special effects required by the Titanic, which would be ruined. This movie!”

“We have already invested more than US$1100000000 million, but it can’t save the cost of special effects of US$200010000!”

“Calm down! Mr. Jon, calm down!!” Boss Jia patted Jon on the shoulder said with a smile “Mr. Jon, I mean to reduce the number of special effects shots, not the quality of special effects. Same all The special effects are still done by you Americans. As you said, we Chinese cannot do special effects of this level at present!”

“Isn’t it the same reason? Cut the number of special effects shots, what’s the difference between that and ruin the special effects?” Jon flushed.

“Listen to me, the so-called special effects are for shooting scenes that cannot be shot in reality, right?” Boss Jia asked with a smile.

“That’s right…”

“That’s right, some lenses really can’t be shot in reality, so we have to do special effects. But there are some special effects lenses that can be shot in reality, but because of the cost, we have to use special effects lenses to make them. !”

“But just ask, no matter how perfect the special effects lens, can there be a perfect picture from the real scene?”

“Mr. Jia, what do you want to say?” Jon was confused by Boss Jia.

“What I mean is very simple!” Boss Jia laughed. “Actually, I think Director Cameron had a pretty good idea at the beginning. We might as well just build a Titanic and let him sink into the seabed. This was shot. How perfect and real the picture is!”
