Chapter 88: A Prosperous Industry
Chapter 88 A very prosperous industry
"If I go back and review these things, I will be able to detect them, but they rejected me. I was angry and anxious to find an investor. I did not think about the entanglement in it."
Meng Ran understood.
After he was rejected, he immediately went to find the next one, and he had no intention of turning back, so he couldn't notice it?
Meng Ran’s own brain was quick, but she also knew this kind of reflex arc length and stupid friend who often couldn’t argue with others. She only tried to list one, two, three or four items after turning back. Why didn’t she refute it if she regretted it?
Director Zeng suddenly smiled,
"Actually, even if I find out that they want my script, I probably won't look for them."
Meng Ran was unexpectedly discovered that Zeng Dao’s eyes were clear.
"They only want my script, not me, as the director, but I am not a screenwriter, and I don't need their approval in this."
Meng Ran immediately understood.
In fact, he was vaguely aware of this in his heart, so he decisively went to find the next home.
Since it is impossible, don’t you just need to change your path immediately?
Meng Ran suddenly liked this director a little.
His thinking is quite similar to his own. He is also such a person. This path doesn't work, so he immediately changes to another one. In the eyes of some people, he does not have a firm enough determination and persistence, but he also avoids being stubborn.
Meng Ran turned off the script and quickly forwarded the video sent to her by the system to Director Zeng, and said with a smile,
"Director Zeng, you have shown me your sincerity, so I will not perfunctory you. This is my sincerity. What do you think of this special effect?"
Of course, what the system sent her was not a separate special effect, but a few video materials were found online, and the special effects of ghost films were integrated into video materials, converting urban dramas and ancient puppet dramas into ghost films.
Anyway, Meng Ran himself is very satisfied.
Only with this premise did she dare to openly propose to pay box office dividends, and she was going to ask for it.
This time, Director Zeng was silent.
Meng Ran was not in a hurry, and slowly drank coffee, waiting for Director Zeng to finish reading. She did not forget to observe Director Zeng's expression, which determined how high the price she could shout next.
What surprised Meng Ran was that although Director Zeng had tried his best to tighten his face and did not want to reveal his bottom line in front of Meng Ran, it was obvious that such a micro-expression could no longer be concealed by Meng Ran, who had made great progress in acting skills.
She was originally very good at observing words and expressions.
Now, it is at least better than Director Zeng, who can't even hear the sound even if he is obedient.
The other party has not yet grown up to be a cunning person like Director Qin.
Director Zeng is really moved.
Meng Ran said that he could introduce him to the special effects team. He felt joy in his heart, but he would say that otherwise the high expectations would be unlikely. But now when he saw these videos, he immediately knew that he underestimated Meng Ran's connections.
This script was polished by him in four years of college. In order to complete it, Director Zeng naturally did a lot of work in this area and had a very good understanding of the special effects of ghost films.
And now, he is sure that such a special effect level has reached a medium level in his own understanding.
Don’t think that medium is nothing. You should know that the videos he is referring to are not messy works, but ghost-themed works that have at least been popular and praised for their special effects on the market. Not only the country, but also other countries’ special effects.
Of course, some Western countries pay more attention to bloody violence when shooting ghost films, which lacks the obscureness and subtlety of China and the more they think about it, the more they become scared, and the more they think about it, the less they cannot think deeply. This is the difference in cultures of different countries.
Their scare points are different.
But there are many places to refer to.
His psychological expectations are inferior and he is looking for a reliable one in a small and medium-sized special effects company in China and strive to double or triple the 50 cents special effects. In this way, in the current environment, he can be said to be well-made.
The special effects displayed by Meng Ran greatly exceeded his expectations. While he was happy, he couldn't help but worry about the price. But when he thought about the 50% discount that Meng Ran said, he was unwilling to give up.
How rare.
50% off!
The higher the level, the more you can take.
In the end, he couldn't help but ask,
"What kind of quote can this master give me?"
"That depends on what price you plan to get?"
Meng Ran was very stubborn, as if he said something unexpectedly,
"I heard that the top foreign special effects teams have about tens of thousands of dollars per frame."
That's right, when Meng Ran learned this information from the system, he was also very surprised.
She had never understood the special effects before, and her understanding of the special effects was still the 50 cents special effects that netizens often scolded, but she didn't know that in order to achieve the 50 cents special effects, the cost of one second might be between thousands and ten thousand.
The top foreign special effects teams cost tens of thousands of dollars per frame, and twenty-four frames a second, which is enough to show how expensive the special effects are.
Later, Meng Ran searched for well-known special effects blockbusters online. If the entire movie's budget was $200 million, at least 100 million of them were spent on special effects.
The winner accounts for 60% of all funds.
Therefore, Meng Ran particularly agrees with the system learning special effects, which is a very prosperous industry.
This made Director Zeng almost fall from the chair.
He forced a smile,
"Miss Meng, I think you may not know much about special effects, or what you know is only the top internationally, and our domestic expenditure on special effects is unlikely to reach this level, not to mention that my positioning of our movie is small and exquisite. To be honest, I only have 20 million in the budget for the entire movie."
Meng Ran's heart moved, 20 million? If Director Zeng is willing to use 10 million for special effects, then he can borrow money from the system.
"Director Zeng, don't worry. Of course, I considered that our crew was not rich in purses, so I spent a big price to get a 50% discount from my friend. For this 50% discount, he almost turned against me... After finally having such an opportunity, we should spend more on special effects. For example, if you take 15 million yuan to get special effects, how about it? Look at me, as the first female, my assistant, as the second female, you don't have to pay for the first female, and the second female is a newcomer, and you don't have to get too much money for this money. This money is saved. There are also special effects, and the clothing is also spent. I don't have a channel here. But I can save you makeup and props, and use the remaining five million to make this movie."
"Take 15 million to special effects, and you can achieve 30 million effects. In other aspects, you can control it carefully. I believe this is definitely a fine product. Director Zeng, I am willing to spend a lot of money like this. Don't you dare to gamble with me?"
Director Zeng's face was heavy, he struggled wildly in his heart, and could not speak for a long time.
His budget is actually to use 10 million for special effects.
