Today, as usual, Li Xianyun was typing in the office.

Jiang Zheng came over and saw that he was still working hard, and shook his head and smiled bitterly: "You are the boss now, not a writer anymore, and at least you are dim sum for the company."

He has invested so much money, even if the big boss is cheating, he will still feel guilty if he doesn't do it carefully.

Li Xianyun hurriedly said, "Don't get me wrong, I'm almost done. I want to get this done. Besides, I'm not idle at the company's business. Look."

As he said that, Li Xianyun pulled out five notebooks from the drawer and handed them to Jiang Zheng: "The next shooting plan has been registered through the plan."

Jiang Zheng took over the script: "Five books? Are you choosing one?"

"No, the whole shot." Li Xianyun said.

"I'll go, aren't you?" Jiang Zheng was startled.

"Don't get me wrong, there's a difference." Li Xianyun explained to him with a smile.

He pointed to the first book called "The Road to the Crazy Corpse" and said: "This is a zombie movie, the investment cost is 10,000 yuan."

"Ten thousand yuan?" Jiang Zheng was confused.

Is this too low cost?

Li Xianyun nodded: "Two reasons, one is to practice for me."

After hearing what Li Xianyun said, Jiang Zheng understood.

Yes, although he has made a movie, Li Xianyun is still a newcomer in a sense, so he still needs an opportunity to continue to hone his skills.

Jiang Zheng was happy: "Then there is no need to save costs like 10,000 yuan, right?"

"The second one is for gimmicks." Li Xianyun said.

When he was in the original world, Li Xianyun came into contact with such a thing. A major platform launched a major online movie, claiming that it was a production cost of 10,000 yuan.

Of course, there is no good movie for 10,000 yuan. The key is that it is really attractive as a gimmick.

Many people would want to see what a movie made of 10,000 yuan is like.

And what Li Xianyun used this time was the book worth ten thousand yuan.

Speaking of which, rebirth-style time travel is not unhelpful. In addition to copying your own novels, you can also copy movies.

But don’t think about big productions. Like the Marvel series and the fast-speed series, the core key is not the script, the director, investment, the big special effects and big picture and big actors. Besides, there are similar movies here, and it’s useless to copy them.

But the Internet is different in terms of big things, and the small production depends on the plot.

The script of this movie with an investment of 10,000 yuan is quite good, but the most important thing is that it conforms to the platform's aesthetics. Since the platform has chosen this movie, it naturally meets their needs.

There is no need for Li Xianyun to change, he just needs to do it more refined - for Li Xianyun, this is his real practice!

After listening to Li Xianyun's explanation, Jiang Zheng understood: "Will the platform be willing to recommend it?"

Li Xianyun spread his hands: "Then I don't know."

In the original world, this 10,000 yuan movie would have to wait for a year before it was released. Li Xianyun is now giving it to him, and he doesn't know whether the platform recognizes it or not.

So he said, "Just give it a try, it's only 10,000 yuan anyway."

"That's right." Jiang Zheng smiled and said, "Even C-level can earn 30,000 or 50,000 yuan."

That's right, the lowest rating given by the platform is C-level. No matter how you sell it, you can sell it for 50,000 yuan. As long as you have the ability to shoot below this cost, you will be sure to make a profit and not lose money.

But for most people, 50,000 yuan can’t even make a team.

The investment of 10,000 yuan is not worth much discussion. Li Xianyun said: "Then there is a series of haunted houses, which is called ghost-recording records, three continuous films."

"Three continuous films?" Jiang Zheng didn't understand again. What was the operation?

"It's just a set shot." Li Xianyun explained.

There are many ways to cheat investors' money in the film and television industry. It is the lowest level to directly greedy for money, and the advanced method of cheating money is to shoot a set of photos.

To put it bluntly, I use the money of one movie to make two movies, and use your money to make my movies.

However, in this case, the filming of the set is usually a bad movie, and it is worth the amount of money.

Li Xianyun is a series of filming series on the same theme, so this situation does not exist, and it can greatly save resources.

First of all, the price of personnel and equipment is cheaper. Basically, two movies are just one and a half dollars, and time can be saved. Two movies are basically one and a half times, and vehicles can be saved in terms of accommodation and food.

Especially for landscape design and artwork, the same landscape design does not need to be redone.

The reason why Li Xianyun decided to film these three movies was because he had done them in the original world, and to put it bluntly, he would copy them.

He personally wrote the scripts and participated in the crew filming. He has seen how the director filmed them, and has also watched them go online, knowing what is good and what is bad.

The biggest advantage of revising the script into a trilogy is that Li Xianyun has mature experience and can do better.

After listening to Li Xianyun's explanation, Jiang Zheng was also satisfied and asked directly: "How much is the investment in these three plans?"

"A total of eight million. I plan to get to A-level!" Li Xianyun replied.

According to Li Xianyun's plan, the eight million yuan is production fees and promotional expenses, but does not include ghost special effects, post-production, scripts, directors, and producers. This part is also a major expenditure, but it belongs to its own resources, which greatly saves costs.

So his eight million investment in production, plus his own resources, divided into three parts and calculated, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the production cost of one piece of 10 million is not an exaggeration.

As long as the Internet major works can be rated as A-level, there is no big problem with the box office of 10 million yuan. However, a serious film with a serious investment of 5 million yuan is very hopeful. Otherwise, what about the huge profits in this industry?

A 100% reward.

But the problem lies in the word "serious".

Sometimes the simpler the requirement, the more difficult it is!

If a five million investment becomes shit, and the final rating is B, it will probably cost money.

At this moment, Jiang Zheng looked at the last script: "What about this?"

"Take hunting against time, ancient costume ghosts, gods and fairies." Li Xianyun replied.

What Li Xianyun is talking about is the costume fairy tale version of the time reincarnation drama that he talked to Sun Shi last time, which is also Li Xianyun’s favorite book.

It tells the story of an inn waiter named Jiang Shengsheng. When the city arrested the thief Guan Jiushan. Guan Jiushan found that Jiang Shengsheng looked similar to his face, so he caught Jiang Shengsheng as a substitute to die, resulting in Jiang Shengsheng's death. Then Jiang Shengsheng woke up and found that he had entered the cycle of time. After that, he was arrested by the thief again and again. Finally, with the help of the female captain Qi Mingyue, he killed the mastermind behind the scenes, Qi Mingyue's adoptive father, and the local guard commander. There was a final reversal, which was basically the triple, guard commander and hidden mastermind behind the scenes.

This book was reviewed in the original world, but this time it was reviewed in this world and it was passed.

Jiang Zheng said: "In ancient costumes, the picture is even more exquisite. Moreover, aren't the two ghosts enough?"

After reading the script, Jiang Zheng felt that the story was indeed quite exciting, and because it was the cycle of time, the scene was relatively fixed and the venue was not invested too much.

However, the ancient costumes have relatively high requirements for artwork, and Li Xianyun set up a big decisive battle later, with a large number of ghosts participating, so Jin Gui and Zhang Yan are not enough.

"Yes, the number is a little smaller." Li Xianyun said sadly: "Xu Liangshan and Wangying are not suitable for playing ghosts, they can only play props."

There is an important prop in the script about the cycle of time, which is a small piece of broken jade, called Kunlun jade.

As long as the shadow is sent to a jade pendant, the corresponding light and shadow effect will be available, and it will save important props and corresponding special effects.

In addition, the influence of the mountain of corpses and seas of blood is also very effective in creating scenes of fierce ghosts invasion.

Unfortunately, it's just that useful.

It would have been nice if I didn't take it so young.

Li Xianyun once tried to take pictures of Wangying from the bottom of his feet. Wangying said: Boss, don’t bother me, if you take pictures again, it’s really gone.

"And I am!" Jiang Mengmeng waved her hand and shouted.

"You can't do it, you can't appear on the camera." Jiang Zheng hurriedly patted his daughter's hand.

You are all in the news, so you won’t cause a stir when you appear on the screen?

The key is that the shape-changing curse will make you only have strength and not change your face!

Li Xianyun said: "The ghosts and immortal arts are not easy to do, so I'm afraid that real special effects will be used in this part."

Jiang Zhengdao nodded: "It's good that way, you can't have no special effects work at all. It's still appropriate to release some special effects work."

"The problem is that this is the case, the proportion of special effects will be smaller." Li Xianyun muttered.

The route Jiang Zheng designed for him is to make money by relying on large special effects, and for this reason he tries not to accept external investment.

However, the cost that Xu Liangshan and the others could save was only about one million.

When the overall effect is improved, the local effect will decrease accordingly. Even if the special effects of your ghosts are 50 million, it can only be made in this film with a value of one million.

At best, the audience shouted when watching it: I'm sorry, these ghosts are really realistic.

Such cost advantage is not a sure profitable figure for rookie director Li Xianyun and Boss Li.

The rookie director is always a little unsupported, so he puts it to the last one.

"Oh, it would be great if there was another director." Li Xianyun blurted out.

Jiang Zheng: “…”
