King of Special Effects

It took more than ten hours to drive back to Shunning. As soon as he arrived at the studio, Yi Yang carefully studied the computer simulation diagram on the computer about the restoration of Shule City.

There are more than 20 buildings, large and small, which may not be half the size of Shule City thousands of years ago.

However, Yi Yang's investment in this area is limited. For this movie, he can't completely restore these buildings that have long been lost in the long river of history.

But since there is no way to play it all for real, then use the special effects in the later stage to restore it as real as possible.

Yuan Zhengzhong pointed to the computer screen and said, "If you use rammed earth, you may be able to save some costs. The main viewfinder can be restored more realistically, and the rest can be superficial."

"These three city walls are the key, and it is estimated that the most money will be spent." Yuan Zhengzhong worked in several production crews before, but very few production crews built a city just because they wanted to shoot a movie: "Counting the lease of the land, less Hundreds of thousands, up to millions, if we spend so much money, how about we just make do in the Western Film and Television City?"

Yi Yang looked at the computer and shook his head when he heard Yuan Zhengzhong's words: "This city should not be improvised. If you want to make an epic blockbuster, you should pay for it. How can there be so many empty-handed white wolves in this world?" Things, if there are 300 to 400 million people, I will restore Yumen Pass."

"Okay, Brother Yi, when shall we go?"

"Take a rest tomorrow, let's start the day after tomorrow, design the blueprints and plans in these two days, and find a place to start work as soon as possible."

······

Back home at night, Ling Lan showed Yi Yang some storyboard scripts that she had written in the past few days.

Ling Lan is the screenwriter of this movie. Because there is no field information, many parts are written based on imagination. Her imagination has been pushed to the extreme these days. Until now, she feels that she has run out of talents, and her head is empty. Can't think of anything.

"I don't know how many brain cells have died. I have to rest for a few days. You can do the rest."

Yi Yang agreed. Looking at Ling Lan who was arranging her hair in front of the dressing table and getting ready to take a bath, she couldn't help going over and hugging her from behind, and said softly, "Thank you Madam!"

Ling Lan pushed Yi Yang away: "Come on, haven't you taken a shower in Hengdian for the past few days, and you smell like sweat all over your body."

"It's only been two or three days!"

"It's only been two or three days? Thanks to you being able to tell, go take a shower!"

"Why don't we wash together, and you can rub my back."

"If you want me to rub your back, it's a beautiful idea!"

"Then I'll rub it for you!"

"Come on, hurry up and take a shower!"

Ling Lan directly pushed Yi Yang out of the room, and then threw the shorts out.

After sleeping in the same bed with Ling Lan for such a long time and yet to see her complete body, Yi Yang called himself a failure as a man.

After taking a shower, I lay on the bed and watched the storyboard script written by Ling Lan in the past few days on the tablet.

It has to be said that Ling Lan may really have a heart-to-heart with her. Many plots she thinks are basically the same as what she thinks, and there is no need for him to revise it again.

"Invincible, according to Master's words, this is a natural screenwriting material, God rewards you with this bowl of rice."

······

The script was finalized, the actors were finalized, and then the venue that was first prepared became Yi Yang's biggest headache at the moment.

Before arriving at the studio in the morning, he received several consecutive transfers of 200,000 yuan. After ten text messages from the bank, an additional 2 million funds came to the studio's account balance.

Then came a call from Ding Liwei from Penguin Film and Television.

The two million yuan was probably transferred from Penguin, and he had to answer his phone, so Yi Yang had no choice but to find a roadside where he could park his car and stop, and then answer the phone.

Ding Liwei still said in a good brother's tone: "Brother Yi, I just asked the finance company to send you a deposit of 2 million yuan for buying out the online broadcasting copyright of "Titans", please check it!"

"I just received it, and I wonder where the money came from!"

"Haha, how is the preparation of the crew going?"

"It's still in preparation, and the actors' roles have just been finalized."

"Who will be the leading role?" Ding Liwei asked with concern: "Could it be Jiang Xin, isn't it appropriate to use him as the leading role?"

"With his role, the protagonist is Duan Yihong!"

Ding Liwei seemed very satisfied with his voice: "Well, his movies have a good reputation, he can be used!"

Hearing Ding Liwei's voice, Yi Yang seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Ding, do Penguins have any photographic equipment, such as a complete set of cranes and cameras for filming."

Ding Liwei was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "How could there be no such things? Why, do you want to borrow them from me?"

"That's right, there are too many places where I spend money here, and I have to plan for half a day for every penny spent, and renting equipment is also a lot of money. I think I can save a little bit!"

"Haha, you really have it. Well, I'll transfer some from the equipment department and lend it to you, but it's the company's property. You'll have to pay for maintenance costs, and you'll have to pay for any damage."

"Good to say!"

"I'll prepare it here, and I'll tell you when it's done, but I don't care about giving it away, you come and get it yourself!"

"It's absolutely fine, thank you very much, I'll go with the IOU!"

After hanging up the phone, Ling Lan ate a freshly peeled orange and said with a smile, "Boss Ding is really not stingy!"

"That's because I can make money for him, otherwise he wouldn't be so generous, but I like a businessman like him, and I can't find fault with him."

It is also a good thing to save the cost of renting equipment, so that Yi Yang can restore Shule City with more peace of mind.

When they came to the studio, Yuan Zhengzhong and the others were already busy working on the construction drawings of Shule City. They were not professional designers, and the planning drawings could only be drawn roughly.

But this is not some kind of urban construction, and it can't be used so professionally and seriously.

"Brother Yi, just now Penguin Finance called to say that there is a 2 million copyright deposit in the account, have you received it?" Yi Yang just entered the door and Tian Li asked: "If I receive it, I will give you a reply!"

"Received, just reply them OK, and Xiaoli, there are some expenses in Hengdian, and the salary plan of the actors. I will sort out an account and send it to you later. You can make a form."

"Okay Brother Yi!"

Now all the role actors have been confirmed, and the remuneration has also been negotiated. Duan Yihong, who has the highest salary in this film, is 5 million, Di Li and Jiang Xin are 1 million each, and the others are tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands. It is confirmed that the total remuneration of the actors is less than 10 million.

As for An Ming and Lu Yang, now Yi Yang felt a little aggrieved by signing them under the name of Liangyi New Media.

"Zi Gaodi" made them popular. Logically speaking, they can do a lot, such as accepting commercials, acting in commercials, etc. The professionalism of these brokerage companies is not possessed by Yi Yang, a small studio.

This time the overall pay is low, the two of them are 250,000 yuan each, which is not low compared to the weight of the starring roles, but acting in this drama is a hard job for all the actors in the crew.

After the filming of "Titans" is over, Yi Yang has to have a good talk with them about signing the contract.
