Chapter 377 The crew equipped with cars
publicity!
Chen Mo glanced at Luo Xiao, wondering what his purpose was in choosing those amateur actors.
No experience is a thing.
Another point is that these amateurs have no traffic. No traffic means that no one cares about the movie after it is put on the shelves.
No one interested means no box office.
Without box office, there is no revenue, and without revenue, he loses money.
What a wonderful closed loop this is!
However, this guy Luo Xiao actually wanted to publicize and break this closed loop.
It seems like this guy is too
"There is no need to promote it. You have to know that a good movie is not promoted, but given by the audience."
"A bad movie, no matter how well you promote it, it is still a bad movie. Maybe in the early days, many people will choose to watch it because of the promotion, but as the reputation gets worse, fewer and fewer people will watch it. of."
"But for a good movie, even if it is not promoted, as the reputation gets better and better, more and more people will choose to watch it."
"So, stop thinking about promoting this matter and put all your energy into film production. That is your first priority."
Chen Mo randomly found a reason to veto the promotion.
The movie was released just before the settlement, but it would be troublesome if Luo Xiao really promoted it, causing the movie's revenue to surge in the early stages of its release.
"I understand, Mr. Chen."
Luo Xiao nodded. He wanted to say that there would be no problem in promoting it without affecting production.
But then he thought about how to do it without affecting the production.
Those are the funds for the movie. If he spends 10 million to promote the movie, then 10 million will be missing from the film production.
How can you say it has no impact?
Maybe if all the 10 million for publicity is invested in film production, the effect of film production will be better.
"Ok!"
Seeing that Luo Xiao didn't refute, Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction.
"You can just watch and do the movie production. In short, there is no need for publicity."
"Next, there are some tasks that need to be handed over to you. Now that the movie has been shot, only the editing stage is left. Then prepare for the second movie, the selection of the movie script and other matters. I need you to help the new movie before it is put on the shelves. Get it done.”
"There is also the matter of car allocation for the crew. As for what kind of cars are needed and how many are needed, you can calculate it yourself. There is also the manager's car allocation. When the car was allocated last time, you were not in Jiangcheng, so there was no I’ll give you a car.”
"And now that you are back, the car distribution will naturally be implemented."
"As for the place to buy the car...well, Shen Rou will give you a contact information then, you can just find that person."
When he thought about buying a car, he thought of the 4S store salesperson who gave him his business card last time.
He remembered giving the business card to Shen Rou.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen."
Luo Xiao felt a little moved. He found out about the car distribution in the manager group when he was filming in Kyoto.
But he didn't have much feeling for cars, it didn't matter whether he had one or not.
What moved him was that Mr. Chen brought up the matter just after they returned to the company.
This shows that Mr. Chen has always remembered this matter in his heart, which makes him feel valued.
Since the movie failed, he hasn't had this feeling of being taken seriously for a long time, including his family.
Wang Bin was also on the side and thanked him excitedly.
"Okay, that's all. You go and get busy. The car purchase will be implemented as soon as possible in the next two days."
After arranging things for Blue Film Film and Television, Chen Mo waved his hand directly.
When Luo Xiao and Wang Bin left,
He took the opportunity to make a call to Tang Qiu and talked about the car distribution.
as predicted,
After he told the manager about the car allocation, Tang Qiu directly replied that if he had a car, he didn't need to be allocated a car.
no way,
After making many random excuses, Tang Qiu accepted the car arrangement.
hang up the phone,
He picked up the water glass next to the table and took a sip, then notified Shen Rou again and asked her to send the contact information of the 4S store salesperson she left last time to Luo Xiao and Tang Qiu.
...........
After Luo Xiao and Wang Bin left the president's office,
I took the elevator back to Lanpi Film and Television.
After arranging some simple tasks, it was already noon.
"Come on, let's go to the cafeteria to eat."
Luo Xiao glanced at the time and went straight to the elevator.
"What about the special effects?"
Wang Bin followed Luo Xiao and said worriedly.
Now that the film is finished shooting, all that's left is editing and special effects. The company's own production team is definitely not enough.
Some outsourcing companies are still needed to share the production of some special effects.
"That's easy to say. You can ask Fang Chang to find out. After all, they are making games and they will definitely know more than us. There shouldn't be any problem if we ask them to recommend a few better production teams."
Luo Xiao spoke calmly.
What they lack now is not money, but a good special effects production team.
"Yes, it happens to be the eating period now. Fang Chang and the others must be going to eat too, so we can discuss it with them in the cafeteria."
Wang Bin nodded slightly.
The two took the elevator and arrived at the tomorrow cafeteria. Not long after, they saw Fang Chang, Wei Yan and others entering the cafeteria.
Luo Xiao and Wang Bin saw this and hurriedly sat down with their dinner plates.
........
"What about the special effects team? I do know some here, some good and some bad. It depends on how much money you have."
Fang Chang spoke slowly while listening to Luo Xiao's inquiry.
When they make games, they sometimes outsource some special effects or modeling work, so they have a certain positioning in mind regarding the strength of those production teams.
"The funds are there, probably more than 6000 million."
Luo Xiao spoke quickly.
Mr. Chen invested a total of 8000 million yuan, of which the actors' remuneration, losses during filming, and other daily expenses probably cost more than 1600 million yuan in total.
In fact, it can be more economical. After all, there is no need to pay a lot of money to amateur actors.
His original plan was that a salary of 20 yuan for each of the leading actors would be enough.
After all, they are all amateur actors with no experience, and the salary of 20 yuan is already very high.
For example, when I went to the Shanghai Academy of Drama to choose actors, some students said they could do it without being paid.
But Mr. Chen said that the salary of 20 yuan was too little, so the salary for the starring role was directly raised to 50 yuan. The more important supporting roles were also given a salary of 30 yuan, and then actors like Wang Qiang, who did not play many roles, were also given a salary of 10 yuan.
This is what leads to,
In terms of salary, several million more were spent than the original budget.
of course,
In terms of expenses, not only the actors' remuneration, but also the filming staff of the crew were classified as business trips by Mr. Chen.
Therefore, all the crew members will have 500 yuan in travel expenses every day.
He originally thought that Mr. Chen was a bit extravagant in doing this, but during the filming, he saw how attentive the actors were and how actively the crew members were working.
He gradually understood Mr. Chen's intention.
