Play Game of Life
Chapter 177 Missing an actor? (two more)
The three of them sat down again and began to chat about the details of the movie of the same name "Done in Martial Arts".
Qin Shang said: "Mr. Li, Mr. Lu, there are two key issues.
"The first is the question of money."
Li Rushan immediately became interested: "Huh? Let's talk about this issue!"
Qin Shang explained: "Although we already have a team, it seems that if we find a director, find a martial artist, and improve the relevant supporting facilities, we can start filming directly, but it will cost a lot of extra money!
"The requirements of games and movies are still different after all.
"I asked Mr. Lu before, whether it's the set or the venue, we don't need to be as strict as the movie, as long as it's not too bad.
"But if it's a movie, the specifications and standards will continue to be improved on the current basis. For this alone, it won't be worth a few million.
"As for the original expenses, the actor's remuneration has not yet been determined. Even if Lu can fool around, oh no, if he can persuade Guo Yongqiang to take less, five million yuan may not be enough. After all, he is a celebrity here. By the way, it's not insulting to give too little.
"The rest of the other actors are all added together, and it will cost more than four million yuan.
"Combining with the money we have already spent on the set, and considering the subsequent expenses, it is more safe to invest around 30 million. Of course, it does not include the money to buy the house.
"Besides, it's purely for the movie, and Mr. Lu's money for making the game has to be counted separately!
"Based on this calculation, I'm afraid the box office of this movie will be at least over 100 million, so that it won't lose money."
Li Rushan and Lu Zhixing subconsciously said in unison, "Is it only 30 million?"
After finishing speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled, Li Rushan looked at Lu Zhixing, his eyes were full of admiration for Wolong.
Qin Shang almost spit out a mouthful of old blood, what do you mean it's only 30 million!
Well, the house Mr. Li just bought is more than 20 million yuan, and 30 million yuan is really not a lot of investment in a movie.
But what's with the surprised look on your two faces?
Especially Mr. Lu, what are you messing with!
Li Rushan really felt that 30 million yuan was lower than he expected. Why did he think that a movie would cost more than 100 million yuan? This is the result?
After thinking about it later, it makes sense.
After all, for those big-investment movies, either the actor's salary accounted for most of the money, or they really spent a lot of money to make a lot of amazing live scenes and special effects. Of course, there is also a third situation, such as some flower methods that wander on the edge of the law.
"Unique Martial Arts" does not touch these three points, and of course the investment will not be that high.
But for Li Rushan, it was a bit of a pity.
It's just that he didn't know that Lu Zhixing felt that the money was short for completely different reasons from him.
Because one of the prototypes of "Solitary Martial Arts" is a movie from his previous life. The cost of that movie was 160 million, and the final box office was only 120 million. It can be said that the pants were lost.
As for why, Lu Zhixing was not a professional in his previous life, so he didn't know the exact inside story, so he could only guess.
On the one hand, the investment in this movie was huge, and the salaries of the two lead actors were very high at the time, and they couldn’t get it without 30 million yuan alone, and the guest lineup is also considered brilliant, plus 3D production and some scenes Expenses, cost control is not good;
On the other hand, the literary and opera of this movie did have some minor flaws, which led to a bad reputation when it was released, and the publicity effect was mediocre, so the box office was dismal.
But this does not mean that this movie is bad. On the contrary, it is one of the best kung fu movies in the eyes of many people. After a few years, the memes and remake videos in it still have a high degree of spread.
Lu Zhixing originally thought that even if the script changed, the actual situation in this world would also change, and the production cost would have to be more than 50 million yuan.
As a result, I did not expect that not only the production cost was lower, but also the actor's salary was much lower.
Guo Yongqiang's salary can be won for four or five million?
Obviously, this is because the lineup of the film itself is relatively luxurious. For Guo Yongqiang, this film is a breakthrough for him. It is not only a kung fu film, but also a half-art film. Quotation; moreover, Guo Yongqiang's current status is not that high, and the salary level in this world is relatively reasonable.
Combining these reasons, the investment of this film is slightly lower than Lu Zhixing imagined.
Seeing that Mr. Li and Mr. Lu looked indifferent, Qin Shang didn't know what to say. Why did he look like he had never seen the world?
I have to move on to the second point.
"Mr. Li, Mr. Lu, let's not mention the matter of investment for now, let's just treat it as not a problem for the time being.
"Then there is a second problem, which is currently very difficult to solve.
"That's... who is the leading actor in this movie?"
Li Rushan was stunned for a moment: "Ah? Isn't it Guo Yongqiang?"
Qin Shang nodded: "That's right, it's Guo Yongqiang, but who will be the one who beat Guo Yongqiang?"
Li Rushan slapped his forehead: "Hey? That's right, how could I forget about this!"
There is another character too!
In the game "Dippo Wulin", this character is not needed because he is played by the player. If the player is a man, he is a man, if the player is a woman, she is a woman, and the image can also be changed freely.
It doesn't matter at all even if the role plays a lot, it's played by the player anyway.
But in the movie, there is no such thing as a player playing the role!
Li Rushan thought for a while: "Hey? What about the previous list? Find another martial artist and see who is willing to come!"
Qin Shang couldn't help but support his forehead: "Mr. Li, you can't be so hasty! It depends on who is suitable for the role designed by Mr. Lu."
Li Rushan nodded: "That's right. It's up to you to choose the road, I completely trust your vision!"
Both looked at Lu Zhixing.
Lu Zhixing was silent for a moment: "Well... I think we should open our minds a little more. Who said that this role must be played by existing actors?"
Now Li Rushan and Qin Shang were stunned.
Li Rushan looked confused: "Don't you want to find an existing actor to play?"
Lu Zhixing nodded: "Yes, I have an idea. Since the player plays the role in the game, how about letting the player play it in the movie?"
Qin Shang was stunned, why did Mr. Lu come up with an even more outrageous plan?
It can't even be said to be outrageous, it is simply whimsical!
He hurriedly said: "Mr. Lu, I'm afraid this won't work! Our movies and games are produced at the same time. Is it possible that after the game is launched, we will select players to make movies? Then we won't be in a hurry!"
Lu Zhixing shook his head slightly: "Actually, strictly speaking, there is no need for complete synchronization.
"In the game, players will indeed experience the scene of Feng Shu fighting against all the masters, and there will be a final confrontation with Feng Shu at the end.
"But in the movie, the confrontation between Feng Shu and several other masters doesn't actually require the player's participation, so his shots can be reshot later.
"We don't need to wait for the game to be released before selecting players, we can do a demo without any guidance, open it to players for free to try first, and secretly select outstanding players.
"When the shooting is nearing the end, let the selected players directly participate in the performance."
Qin Shang opened his mouth slightly, not knowing what to say for a while.
In theory, this operation is indeed feasible, but... I have never heard of any crew doing this!
It is simply unprecedented, and there may not necessarily be someone in the future!
Li Rushan was very happy and patted his thighs excitedly: "Okay, Mr. Lu, what a genius idea! What is your brain thinking! I really want to study it!
"What do you think, Lu Zong, how high is the success rate of this movie?"
Lu Zhixing thought for a while: "50%?"
Li Rushan heaved a sigh of relief, fortunately, it's not 95%!
"Okay, fifty percent is high enough!"
Qin Shang asked curiously: "Mr. Lu, how did you calculate the 50%?"
Lu Zhixing explained: "Look, there are only two possibilities: success or failure. Isn't that 50%?"
Qin Shang: "...Mr. Lu, I think you need to learn probability again."
Li Rushan laughed: "Okay, then it's settled! Just do as Mr. Lu said!
"In short, Qin Shang, you should go to the director and set up the crew as soon as possible, and then Mr. Lu, you should produce a demo as soon as possible. Anyway, you don't have to do it very carefully. It doesn't matter even if you persuade the players to quit. In short, we just want Keep innovating so that all viewers and players can see our great efforts for industry breakthroughs!"
and later today
