Everyone in the circle knows that war scenes are not easy to shoot, and war scenes with many large scenes are even worse. This is why many war scenes have only a dozen people in the team but they insist on pretending to be a company. The key problem is that it is too troublesome to shoot war scenes, and the cost of hiring troops to assist is too high.

Shao Yingxiong tried his best to personally pass the extras in order to avoid the high cost of hiring the army. Unexpectedly, he would still have to take this path of spending money like water.

Who doesn’t know that hiring the army to shoot war scenes can save a lot of trouble? Who doesn’t know that hiring the army to shoot war scenes sometimes requires explosives as long as a note above the army doesn’t have to report to the relevant departments to save time? Who doesn’t want to yell the big bull that “hire how many troops to assist in shooting” when entering the publicity after the shooting is over?

But is all this really that simple?

It’s clear at a glance who can hire the crew members. If the crew does not use the Bayi Studio, General Political Department Film and Television Center, Air Force, and Hai Zheng, how many military actors have used to film? Then the ones who brag are not bulls, but money!

Hairun, the former investor of "Bright Sword", did not have any department signs when filming "Canghai" after getting the sweetness. It cost 7 million yuan to ask a navy of a formation to participate in the shooting of the sea!!!

Even if this number was changed from 2008 in computer data to 2001, it was replaced by the navy to the armed police. Even if there was no missile cruiser 169 and 170 that escorted Somalia, the cost was not something the crew of "Bright Sword" is willing to bear!

A few old comrades in the Bayi Studio can bring in a group to participate in the shooting by making a few calls. You don’t have to pay or give less money. Even if you Huayi has a lot of energy in the entertainment industry, it will not be convenient for this matter. This is the main reason why Shao Yingxiong was so angry that he was not engaged in the military even though he was fighting with the inner acting.

Now, it is impossible not to deal with it. Shao Yingxiong can only hope that these troops have not learned to make a lot of money from the crew during this period of time.

After learning these two news, Shao Yingxiong called all the heads and minds of the crew over. The emergency meeting was held in the hotel room. The main purpose of this meeting was to use the army to assist in shooting as much as possible during the shooting.

At the meeting, editor Cheng Long came up with an idea, which was to take pictures of crowded scenes after hiring the army, whether it was fighting with ghosts or charging in our army, first take pictures of the scenes that needed to be filled with people. The details were filled after the shooting, and finally cut them together. Although this method could not capture the mighty and majestic situation of Li Yunlong leading thousands of troops, the savings were very considerable.

Shao Yingxiong calculated the money he had. The 10 million investment included the early investment and the scattered expenses during the filming period. Now he had about six million left. These six million were the expenses for the next month. Wang Zhongjun still had six million for emergency needs... In fact, there was another way, that is, wait until the New Year, but what should the actors do after the New Year? They still waited for the filming and would immediately join the next group. Who would pay the penalty? During the suspension of the crew, wouldn’t it be all the money for people to eat horses and feed them!

Before Shao Yingxiong could finish the calculation, Lao Guo spoke again at the meeting: "Director Shao, let's reduce the fried spots? You have to arrange forty fried spots in one big scene. They look beautiful and shocking, but the fried ones are all money."

Shao Yingxiong did not respond, and thought for a while and made a quick decision and said, "Zhao Mingyuan, you lead the people to find all the scenes that need to be used to lay out the cameras, and calculate how many scenes there are in total; Lao Guo, you first arrange some of these scenes; Lao Cheng, you integrate the found shots and think with Niu Wa how to shoot them after hiring the army to ensure quality and facilitate editing."

Lao Guo looked at Shao Yingxiong and asked, "That thing that exploded..."

Shao Yingxiong responded firmly: "No one can be left behind!"

On the 28th day of the New Year, the stubborn Shao Yingxiong ran alone to all the military-related departments in Jinzhong, worshiping Buddhas and burning incense one by one. When it was accurately disappeared, it was already evening.

The crew delayed another day. Shao Yingxiong was busy all day and got it back. The result was that the armed police did not dare to take the scene of explosives at all. They were afraid of taking responsibility, so they could only find the military region. When they arrived at the military region, Shao Yingxiong finally got a definite price. The six million he had in his hands was only enough to hire a battalion for ten days. Of course, this included the purchase of explosives, gunpowder and bills, as well as firefighters. The military region responded that the firefighters must be present when using explosives to film, and the army only filmed according to the normal schedule.

A battalion, three hundred people, and a soldier is working together to shoot a movie for one day...two thousand yuan!

At this point, Shao Yingxiong was still unable to save food, otherwise the food of these 300 people would be a big number.

In the end, the crew of "Bright Sword" was changed. The 29th day of the New Year's Eve army helped film three major scenes to film six war scenes. Except for the two scenes of Xizi's heroic sacrifice and Li Yunlong's swaying Zi was rescued by Monk Wei, the other details of the characters' dialogue were replaced and replaced with large scenes, and as many films as possible. On the Chinese New Year, the crew rested for one day according to the original plan. From the first day of the New Year to the ninth day of the New Year, the entire crew devoted themselves to filming the scenes of the big scenes. Shao Yingxiong did not want to see the scene of Xizi facing a dozen Japanese in the original drama. If there were only these few people, Monk Wei would probably not have to run away with Li Yunlong on his back.

After everything was arranged, Shao Yingxiong took a breath, and he felt like he had put down a heavy burden. This director was really not something that anyone could do if he wanted to. If the military region took advantage of the reason for the New Year, the crew of "Bright Sword" would be completely ruined. There was no way except waiting for the New Year's performance and the explosives were in place. He could only watch the time slip away day by day.

Can……

After hiring troops to shoot the big scene, is the crew's budget enough?

After this question arose, Shao Yingxiong’s first thought was not about being embarrassed, but about his eyes lit up, and the bright light was all the colors of the banknotes!

It's best not enough!!

Never!!!

After taking out the phone, Shao Yingxiong dialed Wang Zhongjun's phone number at 1:00 a.m. on the 29th day of the New Year.

"Mr. Wang, I am Shao Yingxiong."

The opposite side didn't speak for a long time, and then responded after a long time: "Well... uh, wait a moment."

The sound was a bit like being woken up in a sleep. Then the sound of slippers rubbing against the ground came from the phone, and after a while: "Tell me."

"Mr. Wang, most of the time I left the New Year's show, so I can only hire the army to assist in the filming..."

"Yes." Wang Zhongjun reluctantly agreed.

"No, Mr. Wang." Shao Yingxiong gritted his teeth and said, "I mean, the cost of gunpowder for ten days of hiring the army plus purchasing explosives is 6 million. Even if the reserved 6 million is generated, it can only last for one month at most, and there is still half a month left to shoot time without funding. Mr. Wang, I mean, can it..."

Wang Zhongjun responded quickly this time and refused to allow this situation to happen, saying, "No!"

"Shao Yingxiong." Wang Zhongjun was not calling 'Xiao Shao' intimately, but said with his name: "I told you when the crew was preparing, Hua Yi could not afford to raise the King of Sunglasses, and even if he could afford it, he would never raise it."

Shao Yingxiong did not answer immediately, but chose to pause. He felt that Wang Zhongjun's attitude towards him was a bit wrong. There are not many sponsors that can be obtained in a drama like "Bright Sword". In addition to the ending subtitles, it is difficult to create an advertising effect for sponsors. In this case, Huayi does not invest additionally, it is equivalent to forcing the entire crew to be defeated. If the scene is not finished, other actors will no longer care about the reason for your crew, and they will leave immediately.

Can Wang Zhongjun understand these principles? It is impossible.

Shao Yingxiong did not think about Wang Zhongjun's thoughts and said, "Mr. Wang, do you mean that I can go and find money by myself?"

"Yes." Wang Zhongjun answered very happily this time.

Shao Yingxiong continued to ask tentatively: "If I find the money, the investor will ask to invest in the form of a shareholding..."

"I promise."

Wang Zhongjun didn't even think about it.

He knew that it was impossible for anyone to invest in "Bright Sword" during this period. All he wanted was to hit Shao Yingxiong. He dared to spend 10 million in less than a month. How big is this production? What would it be? What would it be like to pay attention to the budget and investment? Wang Zhongjun was afraid that Shao Yingxiong would be too big and even left a special way of retreat, but now? Including the money for the future, can he not become popular?

Now, this kid not only refuses to admit his mistake, but actually offers to find money by himself. It’s really hard. OK! If you have the ability, go find money by yourself and see who will invest in the crew that has spent half the budget half a month in advance. No one in the circle doesn’t know that the budget overspending cannot be opened. Once this hole is opened, it will be a bottomless pit in the future!

Shao Yingxiong smiled with the phone: "That's fine, Mr. Wang, my salary in "Bright Sword" is 80,000 per episode, and I'll spend all the salary. 30 episodes is 2.4 million, and I'm paying 1.6 million to a total investment of 4 million. At that time, I will share one-fifth of the total revenue of the "Bright Sword"."

Wang Zhongjun almost couldn't get up in one breath and went into shock directly!!!

Anyone who is afraid of asking grandpa to sue grandma and say soft words. Even if they don’t understand what the above means, they can’t throw their money into the crew. After all, this is just a film that has not tried the waters and does not know how the market responds. Just like a workshop director can never spend his money on the production line to invest in a product that doesn’t know how the market responds. No one’s money is in vain. Why did Shao Yingxiong, a guy with a dog-tempered temper, suddenly come like this?

Wang Zhongjun was holding the phone and didn't know how to face this situation. He, the boss, had never encountered such a thing. The only one in Huayi who could take away the film's revenue was Feng Xiaogang.

"You invest money?"

Wang Zhongjun asked again if he didn't believe it.

"Yes, I'll vote."

"good!"

Wang Zhongjun said as if he was quarrel: "Tomorrow I will fax the contract and we will sign the agreement!"

He didn't believe it anymore. A Shao Yingxiong could stump him! He is Huayi's boss. Not to mention that Shao Yingxiong is willing to pay out of his own pocket, as long as he is willing, he can make Shao Yingxiong pay until bankruptcy!!

How much money does Shao Yingxiong have? Wang Zhongjun has a clear idea!

Don’t you know what mistake you have made? Just delay a few days and call the six million that the company has intercepted, and you, Shao Yingxiong, will not be able to find the sound when you cry. Let’s see if you dare to spend money so much.
