There is a garden villa area near Hongyuan, with deep winding paths and a pretty good environment.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Ren Zhi brought two investors over.

One man and one woman.

The man is a fat man in his forties or fifties who looks a little honest. He is named Wu Bao. He is a KTV player. The woman he follows is not his wife, but a friend in the mall. He looks not young anymore and dresses very beautifully, named Liu Qingzhi.

In recent years, KTV business is not easy to do, and many bosses are seeking transformation. The film and television industry has high returns and great benefits. The key is that it has similarities with KTV - girls are connected. There are a few garbage actors in this movie, and they are the girls under Boss Wu. They are dedicated to making their family famous, and they also expose the news to their boss.

Unfortunately, the idea is beautiful and the reality is skinny.

At this moment, when he came to a villa with red tiles and white walls, Liu Qingzhi looked at the villa in surprise and said in surprise: "Is your friend good financial resources?"

Ren Zhi smiled helplessly.

He knew Li Xianyun. Although he was a well-known writer, he was Xiaokang. When could he afford a villa?

But because of this, he didn't dare to talk to him, so he could only go up and ring the doorbell.

The door opened, and Li Xianyun had already appeared at the door and smiled and said, "Mr. Wu, Mr. Liu, please come in."

Everyone was adults and went into the living room politely.

While leading everyone in, Li Xianyun said, "This is not my place, I rented it. The scenery here is beautiful, and writing here is pleasant and efficient."

Pretending to be calm.

Although I can't afford it, being able to rent a villa and write is also a good writer.

Wu Bao smiled and said, "What Master Li said is right. A good working environment can really stimulate work efficiency. Oh, by the way, your pen name is Jiangcheng Prodigal Son, right? I have read your works online and I am indeed talented."

People carry people in the flower sedan chair, but when they come up, they first blew up the business together.

Li Xianyun doesn’t know whether Wu Bao has seen his works, so it doesn’t matter.

At this moment, the three of them were greeted to sit down, and Li Xianyun waved his hand: "Come on tea."

I saw a tea tray carrying a set of tea sets. Without anyone holding it down, I flew to the coffee table in front of the four people.

This scene directly shocked the three of them.

What's going on?

Li Xianyun smiled and said, "No wonder, magic. There is a magnetic restraint device in the tea tray. I won't tell you about the specific situation, trade secrets."

Everyone then suddenly realized.

Liu Qingzhi smiled and said, "I didn't expect that Master Li is still a magic lover."

Li Xianyun shook his head: "It's not considered, I'm just interested. Speaking of which, movies are actually magic and visual magic. Through visual images, we create things that cannot exist in reality, thus creating imagination and creating various bizarre worlds."

The two bosses seemed to understand, but whether they understood or not, they had to click this head.

At this moment, Li Xianyun had taken out his cell phone, opened a video, and handed it to the two of them.

The three of them didn't understand what Li Xianyun sold in the gourd. When they watched the video together, they saw a female ghost floating over and flew into the air, landing on the ground, flew up and down, and suddenly exploded into a piece of smoke and dissipated. When they appeared again, they condensed into a ball and appeared directly beside Li Xianyun. They took a picture with Li Xianyun, which looked quite interesting.

Then a male ghost appeared and sucked into a pot of food. The food quickly rotted, with an amazing effect.

The video ends.

The three of them were stunned by this scene.

Ren Zhi was even more confused. Why is this male ghost so much like that dead person?

He doesn't remember the ghost, but he still remembers Jin Gui's dead face.

A face began to thrust wildly, and his facial features were walking wildly on his face.

Li Xianyun smiled: "I made it based on Jingui's template."

I'll do it!

You're too fucking fun, right?

Wu Bao looked at Li Xianyun strangely: "This is..."

"I made it." Li Xianyun lied and didn't blush or breathe. He turned to Ren Zhi and said, "Old Ren, you are an expert in this field. Tell me, how much does this special effect cost."

Ren Zhi calmed down. He didn't know why Li Xianyun could do special effects, but at least he knew that he could not dismantle Li Xianyun's platform.

I picked up my phone and watched the video again, shook my head and exclaimed like an Indian: "It's so real. Although this man and woman are a bit simple, the realism is very strong. I'm afraid I can't get it if there are not a million special effects at this level."

There is sincerity and exaggeration.

A ghost can’t make that much money, but ghosts are not just ghosts, but also all kinds of fancy moves. A series of continuous shots are valuable when they accumulate.

The most important thing is the "reality" of ghosts. Every hair is clear, and even the facial expressions are so realistic.

With such high-quality special effects, you will definitely not spend less money. If you really count, you may not be able to make one or two million.

As for what he calls simplicity, it is naturally because they are really ghosts, they are not good at applying makeup, and they do not have gorgeous clothes. It is not that Zhang Yan and Jingui cannot wear human clothes, but they cannot change their clothes themselves, and the effect of wearing clothes is not good.

So compared to real special effects, it is not as gorgeous as it is, and what is really awesome is the realness.

Li Xianyun took out a few flower pieces from the cigarette box and handed them to the other party, and Liu Qingzhi also took them.

Li Xianyun then said: "One.5 million investment is a small production, don't expect any decent special effects."

Wu Bao and Liu Qingzhi nodded together. Even if they were amateurs, they also understood this.

"But I can add it! It's this level...the top level!" Li Xianyun threw a bombshell when he came up, which made the three of them dizzy.

Ren Zhi looked at Li Xianyun in disbelief. What does this guy want to do?

My face was so shocked that it was tilted, and I was just passing by for a while.

"One.5 million plus this?" Liu Qingzhi looked at Li Xianyun in surprise.

Li Xianyun shook his head: "One.5 million is yours, it has nothing to do with me. But at least I wrote the script of this film. Now that something is wrong, I don't want to waste my efforts. But if I want to join, I won't make small productions. I will definitely have a high-end production. If I want to do it, I will make high-quality products."

The three of them understood his meaning.

Wu Bao asked: "Do you want to use special effects to convert costs?"

Resources are calculated as cost, and the film and television industry is the norm.

"Yes." Li Xianyun nodded: "The original plate is too small. I want to expand it to four million, and the actual investment is 300,000. I will use resources to replace the remaining part."

I'll wipe it!

You are even darker than me.

Ren Zhi almost jumped up.

The plate expanded to four million, and even if the investment of Wu Bao and the other two was still calculated at 1.5 million, the share would drop to one-third.

It is equivalent to Li Xianyun becoming the major shareholder.

The key is that he only paid 300,000 yuan in cash.

Liu Qingzhi was also happy: "That's it? It's worth two million?"

"Of course it's not all." Li Xianyun said: "First of all, the script must be modified. The original script has no ghosts, so I plan to change it into a ghost movie."

There is no rule that China will not be allowed to become a talent after its founding, so there is no problem in making ghost movies.

Li Xianyun continued: "Secondly, I will take over as producer, director, producer and external contact. These are all my efforts, and I don't want a penny."

Ren Zhi was dizzy when he heard this, Boss, you are trying to undermine me!

There is no need to mention the producer, it is equivalent to the general manager, and the entire team is built by the producer. The director is equivalent to the chief engineer, responsible for actual shooting, and the producer mainly represents the investor, which is equivalent to the supervisor. Small-cost movies are generally not supervised, and foreign producers are not supervised. This is a Chinese specialty, but no matter what the specialty is, as long as there is this position, the power is often greater than the director. Depending on different crews, some crews are just a decoration, and some crews have the final say. Power depends on people after all, and even the sweeping aunt can be the boss.

As for external relations production, it is a job that is dedicated to external relations affairs, especially the venue. It is a job that costs money, and those who spend money are all lacking.

The dream promotion channel of many people in the film and television industry is external connections, and further up is the producer.

People like Ren Zhi, who are external producers, producer directors, etc., are all involved in money, so that he can make money together.

Li Xianyun kept saying that this was my dedication, but was this a fucking dedication?

This is a big power and a small power!

Even Wu Bao couldn't help but say, "Do you know how to direct?"

This is the words of laymen. In the eyes of laymen, directors are always the first priority.

But the fact is that the first thing a good movie needs is a good operating team, and the operating team is built by the producers, and there are a series of other related lines.

Making movies is a team work, not something that can be supported by one person.

As for directors, this type of job is actually very similar to a writer. It is a question that anyone can do it, and whether it is good or not is good or not.

If you go to the website to publish an article, you can say that you are a writer; if you form a team, you don’t have to understand the language of the camera. If you are blind, you will be the director.

A truly excellent director needs to be a miscellaneous person who knows scripts, photography, lighting, post-production, even art, makeup, props, and promotion. Except for the lens language that needs to be professional, everything else is just ordinary, because there are professionals responsible.

But it is precisely because it is a miscellaneous person that the degree of ambiguity is high.

When the degree of blurring is high, anyone can become a director. In the original world, Li Xianyun saw a junior college culture with his own eyes. He filmed one or two young photographers from the Internet. He fooled investors and became a director himself. In turn, he brought professional directors who had worked with for many years to be photographers for himself.

That’s right, that professional director is Rong Dasheng, and the photographer is Geng Biao. Now this guy has already named himself Director Geng.

So, status is all about bragging?

What are the spectators still standing there? Pick up your phone and shoot a short video for a minute, and then you are all directors!

As for Li Xianyun, although he has been studying director for six and a half years, he has never actually operated it. He is a weak man in theory, so he urgently needs an opportunity to practice.
