Please make money.

Brother Hao followed him out suspiciously, thinking that he had never heard of such a sucker. Is there such a master in Tianhai?

When I took a closer look, I saw a long convoy stretching to the end of my sight outside the park where the filming was taking place, with the words "Aililai Supermarket" written in large letters on the car logo.

"...Are supermarket owners also investing in movies these days?"

325-Feel the joy of creation! Not counted as extra chapters

Alia came to visit the set and brought with her many gifts, which were charged by the car.

Because the crew of "Wandering Blue Planet" had as many as 7,000 people, they had to use a car to load the chicken legs.

Otherwise, how can we talk about industrialization? If we don’t study the following previous crew classifications, we will think that 7,000 people are nothing special.

But what if most of the previous crews only had one or two hundred people?

Like some films of the same period, it was very bold, shot entirely in one take, very daring and exciting, but it was not done.

The director brought a small team with him. Every time new people joined the crew, they would leave after filming was done. The extras and the foreman would hold a big loud speaker and shout loudly.

Turn on the camera, shoot, finish shooting, done.

You can't say this isn't okay, but it has always been this way and isn't always the best. Times are changing.

Alia jumped out of the car and patted the carriage: "Because I don't know what you need, so I looked at what I have and gave you some."

These are the daily welfare supplies of the Ai Group headquarters. To put it bluntly, they are the things that employees use for eating, drinking and office consumption.

Alia pulled it directly from the warehouse, not even bothering to sort it out, and handed Director Su a list: "Here, it's your gift."

Director Su wanted to receive Ailia, but was fooled by Ailia and left - you shoot, I'll stroll around, no one will disturb each other.

I'll just take a look.JPG

Alia strolled with her hands behind her back like an old man, but who dared to stop her?

Daji was watching from behind, feeling very anxious and troubled by all kinds of small questions.

Because the set was divided into areas, the first place Alia came across was where the directors of Group B were filming.

The director of Group B was a young man. He was holding a walkie-talkie and shouting at the top of his voice. The person on the other end was saying "Hello, hello, hello" and he also said "Hello, hello, hello". But no one could hear him.

"What's this?" Alia leaned over: "What's the problem?"

The director of Group B was busy with the lawsuit, and was stunned when he saw a little girl like Alia.

No, who are you?

"Oh, I'm from the logistics team. Didn't Director Su just get an investment?"

Alia took out a small notebook and said, "So let me ask if there is anything wrong. Now that we have money, we can focus on rectifying it."

The director of Group B was skeptical and was about to curse - there were too many problems!

But when I turned around, oh—Director Su?

Su Nan and Producer Gong were behind Alia, and they raised their hands and pointed at him at the same time. Their aura was almost as powerful as the Great Wilderness Prisoner of Heaven Finger.

Keep your mouth clean, kid.JPG

The director of Group B looked behind him, then looked at himself again and took a step to the left.

Director Su and Producer Gong also moved their fingers, changing direction and continuing with precise guidance.

I understand. I understand everything.

The director of Group B shrank his neck and swallowed the curse that was about to come out of his mouth, in an elegant and concise manner.

"It's not a big deal, it's fine..."

"Didn't you just say there was a problem?"

"It's not a big deal...hahaha...the intercom signal is not good. Once I leave the studio, the signal is gone and I can't hear anything."

"Oh..." Alia nodded suddenly and wrote it down in her notebook: "Simple, I'll ask someone to take care of it right away. Anything else?"

"The director team doesn't have enough walkie-talkies, and they're hard to carry. If we take them off, we won't be able to get in touch."

"That's a problem. Communication equipment - is there any more?"

"We don't have a loudspeaker here." He took out a paper megaphone and said, "This thing doesn't work well. It's too big and I can't hear anything."

Why can't I hear it?

Once the blower is turned on, the noise exceeds 100 decibels. It's useless to use a horn or even shout into your ear.

"It's still a communication device... Well, wait for me to call someone."

Alia closed her notebook, took out her cell phone and called the secretarial department.

"Secretary Department? Transfer to the Electronic Sales Department, assign me a 200-person field team. I'm currently at the photography base in the southern suburbs, come quickly."

After saying that, Alia put away her phone and opened her notebook: "Go on, any other questions?"

The director of Group B blinked, a little confused about this person's position.

Are you a member of the logistics team, or the ancestor of the logistics department?

But since someone is acting as a tree hole, he will continue to complain...

He also took out a small notebook and reported the problems one by one.

From small things like speakers to large things like prop customization, there are a lot of miscellaneous things.

Alia wrote them all down and said with a sigh: "There are so many problems. We need to solve them properly..."

Sometimes having money is not enough, you need manpower.

The most basic problem is that Su Nan’s director team has too few people, and many things have to be handled by the first assistant director.

Even if they had three heads and six arms, they would not be able to manage it all. It should be split up again and again.

Special effects such as lighting, wind, and smoke actually need to be controlled by the director team, and they must be able to see the monitor.

The reason why these problems have not been solved in a timely manner is that the biggest obstacle is still the initial problem.

communication!

The set is so big and there are so many people, nothing works properly.

What everyone wants most now is professional software like HaoXwu that can match the workflow.

But no, all they could do was to manually edit the three pieces of Word software after shooting every night, and then synchronize the information with great difficulty.

You say yours, I say mine, and we cross each other out in the end. The next day, I look at my head again with a mess...

Director Su saw that Ailia had finished her questioning and quickly came over: "Miss Ai - no, Miss, this shooting needs some adjustment..."

"Yes, that makes a lot of sense, so I plan to have the programming department help you develop a synchronization software, and also build a set of communication equipment."

Alia bit the tip of her pen and said, "There are also some custom props... You see, these things require the cooperation of the industrial department, right..."

Director Su thought to himself that this was true, but was it possible that these were not things that an investor like you should be concerned about?

In the past, people talked about revenue, box office, and the leading actors, but never heard of discussing logistics...

"Director Su, your crew is really big." Alia looked at the huge filming set and asked, "How do you manage it?"

"Like--managing a company?"

When this was mentioned, Su Nan became excited.

Do you know what it means to be the first in the world?

Take care of everything! All of them are hired directly. They are not extras to be used and discarded, but a whole industrialized filming team. Isn't it bold?

Ailia clicked her tongue and called the secretariat, asking Yan Song to bring someone over as well.

That is to say, he is very bold, but his experience is indeed insufficient, so the people in charge of human resources should be asked to do the human resources work themselves.

"Don't worry, it's not counted in the investment amount, it's considered my personal sponsorship."

Ailia pointed at Su Nan's name tag and said, "Make one for me too. I'll be in charge of logistics. I'll make whatever you need."

Su Nan laughed and said, "There are many things we are missing. For example, we are even short of cameras."

“Are you short of cameras too?”

"Yes, we are short of it. We rent all our cameras at $10,000 a day."

If we really talk about being stingy, Cyber ​​Daji is really stingy. For example, the paper snow used for filming costs more than one thousand yuan per box and has to be imported from abroad.

If you throw this thing into a blower, it will blow up three boxes in one minute. When you are actually shooting, money is blown away every minute.

So what should we do? The answer is for the site staff to clean up the mess quickly, sweep it up and continue using it...

But in terms of spending money, the camera costs $10,000 a day, and Cyber ​​Daji gritted her teeth and rented three of them.

In his crew, technology is truly the primary productive force, and useful equipment is free of charge.

But in order to save some budget, the director team can only work around the clock, and any few hours of sleep they can get each day is considered good progress.

The perfect plan is to finish filming the actors’ scenes during the day, shoot some close-ups and minor shots at night, and then everyone can have a good night’s sleep and be full of energy the next day.

But in reality, everyone was on the verge of sudden death every day as they waited for the scenery, props, special effects, and for the exhausted actors to recover their strength.

Su Nan was also very distressed, but there was nothing he could do. He had no money, so he could only fight to the death with everyone else.

He is a very humble person and always feels that he is very lucky.

He calls everyone older than him on the set "brother". As long as they are not filming and ordinary staff members call him Director Su, he will say "hey hey hey brother, you are busy too".

This kind of respect made everyone willing to work with him. We shot for more than 60 days. It was very difficult, but we persisted.

In another world line, Cyber ​​Daji came to Brother Jing for alms when she had finished filming the ground line, a certain company withdrew its investment, and was preparing to withdraw the space station line.

The crew was able to rest for a long time before returning to work, and then the various sets and coordination capabilities were greatly improved.

This time, Alia came with a mountain of gold and silver, so I can only say that the crew may not have a rest.

"Find problems and solve them. If you need people, I'll give them. If you need money, I'll give you money. If you need equipment, I'll give you equipment. If you want to rent - okay, then I'll rent two more."

The camera used by the crew is the ARRI 65, the most powerful camera on the planet, which is only rented and not sold. It is a top-notch shooting equipment jointly developed by IMAX and ARRI.

This camera is not sold separately, but must be used in conjunction with the entire ALEXA65 production system and process.

The price of a bare machine can easily reach around $15. If you rent the entire system, the daily rental fee is around $1.

If we add the technical staff's salary, the camera alone is estimated to cost at least 700 million yuan.

Alia has always been a person who would rather build than buy, and would rather buy than rent, but there is no need to spend money on these places that make a fool of themselves.

The maintenance cost of these professional filming equipment is too high. They need to be checked before and after each group shoot and calibrated regularly. The calibration instruments are more expensive than cameras.

Another reason is that the times are changing too fast and products are being updated too frequently. Even if you buy a camera, the money you earn from working with it may not be enough to cover the depreciation costs.

"Director Su, the crew is having a hard time." Alia grabbed Su Nan's hand and shook it: "It's too hard - but don't worry! I'm here! We have the money! We have the props!"

"..."

"Miss, are you going to make a movie?"

"Correction, Missy wants to play."

Lei Fan was reading a document without looking up: "But if you want to play, then have fun - go and get those investment shares back."

"Okay!" Jiang Wei didn't ask for details. It was just a matter of buying some investment quota.

How much did they invest? Would it be enough to give them double the amount?

"Oh, by the way, there is one more thing." Lei Fan raised his head: "Talk to Mr. Zhou about reorganizing the advertising and marketing department's subsidiary in the property department."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's buy a formal entertainment company. Many things will be easier to handle. Remember to buy a backdoor listing."

When entertainment companies go public to raise money, they naturally rely on concept stocks created after the filming of a movie.

Prime Minister Lei is not a person with moral obsession. The leek field is so big, can only be taken care of by others?

However, the process of re-establishing a new company and listing it again is too long, so it’s better to just invest the money directly.

He signed a note: "Again, if the young lady wants to play, let her have fun."
