Entertainment: Starting from child stars

Chapter 282 Preparing for”Transformers”》！！

“ah! I’m really, really stupid.”

Luo Shao, who was about to sleep, suddenly thought of a question and slapped himself.

“What’s wrong?”

Guan Xiaotong, who was reviewing next to him, didn’t understand what was wrong with him. Why was he hitting himself?

“Transformers, have you read this script?”

“I’ve seen it, it’s very creative.”

Guan Xiaotong has read the script, but Luo Shao can’t film it yet.

“Yes, I said before that I couldn’t film this script because I’m not old enough.”

“Because in the movie, there is a scene where you have to drive. I am not old enough, so I can’t film it.”

“But in fact, this is a movie. As long as the male protagonist is over 18 years old in the movie and has a driver’s license, I can definitely film this even if I am under 18 years old in reality.”

“Anyway, the driving scenes were all shot in the crew’s studio and not on the road. This wasn’t a problem. Why didn’t I think of that?”

Thinking of this, Luo Shao gave himself another slap in the face. What’s wrong with him? Sure enough, bystanders are obsessed with the authorities.

It’s just that he was too entangled in these issues, which led him to ignore that movies are movies and reality is reality.

“Then you are sure you want to take the photo, right?”

Guan Xiaotong, who has read the script, is still very interested in this science fiction film and hopes Luo Shao can film it quickly.

“Yes, once you solve this problem, you can prepare. Luo

Shao said, and sent a message to Xu Ke:”I will send you a science fiction script!””

Xu Ke, who was resting in Xiangjiang, after receiving the message, opened his mailbox and looked for the script sent by Luo Shao.

Sure enough, he found it and downloaded the script. Xu Ke printed out the downloaded script first and drank coffee. At the same time, he was thinking about the script.

However, after reading it, he was stunned. This, this, car transformation? Robot?

This idea successfully attracted Xu Ke and made him read the script more seriously.

But after reading it, Xu Ke Ke’s eyes widened and he read it again, studying it over and over again. After reading it more than ten times, Xu Ke finally got something in his mind.

After reading the script, he immediately called Luo Shao. At this time It happens to be evening, so Luo Shao doesn’t have to go to class.

“How about it…？”

Knowing that Xu Ke was calling at this time, he must be asking about the script.

“shoot!”

That’s for sure. Xu Ke said he must shoot it.

“Haha~ Get ready. You will prepare the crew, build the studio for the movie, and model the Autobots in the movie. Do you have any plans? After hearing this

, Xu Ke held his chin and pondered for a moment:”I have an idea, but I still want to see what you think.””

“Okay, wait, I’m also thinking about doing special effects myself”

“Use car deformation as special effects to make an Autobot look like”

“I’ll send the video for you to see.”

When Luo Shao was writing this script, he had been thinking about learning to do special effects. His homework was to try to transform a car into an Autobot.

Luo Shao had already been thinking about these special effects tasks for two years during his break. Time.

After two years of thinking, Luo Shao finally made an Autobot look like one.

When he saw the video, Xu Ke was immediately shocked by how the car in the video transformed into an Autobot.

The special effects were also very good. Isn’t it too realistic and delicate? What kind of head is this?

“You kid, why didn’t you tell me about such a good script?”

“You have to tell me earlier, I’m ready to turn on the phone now; rush to the street.”

At the end, Director Xu Ke also uttered a curse word, which is enough to show how excited he is now.

Luo Shao didn’t care at all. This was not a curse, it was just to express his mood at this time.

For Director Xu Ke to be able to do this, it explains the script outstanding

“If so, how long do you need to prepare?”

The two began to discuss

“How is your schedule this year?”

Xu Ke was not in a hurry to answer, but asked Luo Shao

“Well,”Edge of Tomorrow,” which started filming in mid-November last year, is not expected to be completed until the end of March.”

“After wrapping up this drama at the end of March, you will be seamlessly joining the cast of the movie”Now You See Me” in April, as you know.”

Of course Xu Ke knew the play Luo Shao was talking about, and it was he who recommended it to Er Dongsheng.

“Not to mention,”Now You See Me” will take at least four months, which means it won’t be released until August at the earliest.”

This is his schedule this year. It depends on how Xu Ke arranges it.

“That means I have half a year to prepare for this drama?”

“How much do you think the production cost of this drama should be invested in order to achieve the effect you and I want?”

This is something Xu Ke is very interested in.

The question Xu Ke asked made Luo Shao try to remember and make a budget. According to Hollywood standards and fees, the production cost of”Transformers” would be 1.5 billion US dollars, which is about 1 billion RMB.

As we all know, the special effects costs in Hollywood are much more expensive than those in Zhongguo. This is mainly because their special effects are relatively mature and have decades of special effects reputation. It is understandable that they charge high fees..

If it were done by Zhongguo’s special effects team, the fee would be low. If you want to achieve the original special effects level of”Transformers”, it would be about 500 to 600 million.

With the past two years, the script written by Luo Shao has been There are more special effects. Domestic special effects companies are gradually getting opportunities to show themselves. With opportunities to show, special effects costs will naturally increase.

“For special effects alone, 600 to 700 million is enough. If you include the actors’ remuneration, the daily expenses of the crew, etc., it will be around 800 million.”

The budget given by Luo Shao, Xu Ke stroked his beard.

If this is the case, the production cost of 800 million is indeed completely sufficient.

“Okay, but I have an idea, that is, the cars in the movie, I suggest using domestic cars.”

“In this way, you can promote domestic car brands; you can also get sponsored cars and sponsorship fees.”

“Of course, foreign brands can also be used, but the sponsorship fees from foreign brands are higher.”

“After all, once this movie is made, the deformed cars in it will definitely attract the attention of the audience and even arouse the desire to buy a car. At this time, you have to consider domestic cars.”

“But publicity for foreign brands cannot be in vain.”

Director Xu Ke’s idea is exactly what Luo Shao was about to say.

Luo Shao also planned this at the beginning. When the time comes for the Bumblebee car, he will contact Chevrolet to see if they are willing to provide sponsorship fees. If he wanted to, then Bumblebee would still be Chevrolet.

But if Chevrolet didn’t give sponsorship fees and the price wasn’t right, he wouldn’t accompany him.

Bumblebee was a Bumblebee, but it didn’t have to be Chevrolet.

He could also choose to make it domestically. For a concept car of the brand, just change the color to yellow.
