Reborn 1990: I made my cannon fodder father into the richest man

joke.

As long as Hu Lai doesn't go crazy and Duan Jiajia doesn't seek improvement in script writing and maintains the same level as before, this is a project that is sure to explode with the naked eye.

If they don't sign the contract quickly, they are still worried about whether it will be snatched away.

Moreover, anyone with a discerning eye can see how popular the book "Asking the Sword" is.

If it weren't for the fear of offending Duan Jiajia, many screenwriters would probably be tempted by money to follow the story line of "Ask the Sword" and write scripts.

Of course, except for fear of offending Duan Jiajia.

A work of this type like "Quest for the Sword" definitely requires the use of special effects.

The production cost of special effects is so high, and we don’t know how well the specific effects will be presented.

Many people are actually waiting and watching, waiting to see what the finished product produced by North and South Film and Television will look like.

They will only end up if they can make money.

Working on projects in the film and television industry is no different from other industries.

If it is a new project, except for a few people who dare to leave directly, most people are waiting and watching.

And secretly thinking about how much money can be made from this type of project.

There is "Ghost Valley" first.

You can already imagine how many martial arts works will be produced in the mainland film and television market in the past few years.

Although this type is declining now, it is still a large category.

The success of the fifth part of "Ghost Valley" has triggered a wave of martial arts craze.

When Qu Ying came back for the meeting, she casually mentioned that there were a lot of martial arts dramas registered in the film and television city recently.

It seemed like it all came out at once.

But the size of the investment can be seen just by looking at the size of the crew and the costumes.

Most of them are ordinary crew members. It’s hard to say how sincere they are, but they definitely have the mentality of making a few bucks and leaving.

"The costumes and everything have been determined. Except for the costumes of a few main characters, which are customized according to the body shape, the others are all in common sizes. I have reserved space for changes. The fabrics of this batch of costumes are good. In addition to being able to continue to use it in the future, if you plan to do this type of drama again in the future, or a mythological drama, you can also use it."

Sui Dongfeng's design in this area was somewhat influenced by Xiangjiang.

This kind of costumes can be used or matched repeatedly, so try to take this into consideration.

Duan Jiajia picked up the juice in front of him and thanked Sui Dongfeng.

"No need to thank you. If you do well in this project, it will be a good thing for me."

Sui Dongfeng nodded and said, "There are many projects in Xiangjiang, but they won't be as big as yours."

Sui Dongfeng spent most of his time following his master on projects in Xiangjiang.

vvb is famous for its savings.

Even if it were another company, they would not be too generous in making costumes.

The next few projects on the mainland will also focus on the costumes of the main characters. The smaller characters or extras will not have specific costumes.

After all, there is a clothing rental company in the film and television city. If you rent it directly, they can give you a complete set.

Extras don't need to be dressed so well, as long as they fit in with the era.

This is much more cost-effective than buying.

There are really few films like "Ask the Sword" where all the costumes are made from beginning to end.

This also shows how rich the crew of "Ask the Sword" is.

"Of course!" Hu Lai nodded beside him: "According to the script, our first film only showed Huo Fan's break with the family. The middle plot points were entering Tallinn, the family competition, the battle between the small divine peak and the elders, and some other sects. door contents."

This is actually the content of the first volume of "Asking the Sword".

Duan Jiajia and Hu Lai discussed it for a long time.

If the content of the second volume is included, the plot will be a bit bloated and the priorities cannot be clearly distinguished.

When we started the project, we considered that there would be a second and third part. In addition to the male protagonist, it was particularly important to confirm the appearances and personalities of several important characters in the first part.

After discussion, they decided to film the first part based on the contents of the first volume.

"It will definitely be used later. I have discussed it with Jiajia and Zhengnian. I am afraid that all the money earned from the entire series of "Ghost Valley" will be invested in the "Ask the Sword" series."

Hu Lai would say this at the wine table. In addition to being happy, it also reassured Sui Dongfeng and other behind-the-scenes teams.

After all, whether it is mainland China or Hong Kong, it is rare for such a large project to be undertaken independently.

Sui Dongfeng dared to do it together because he believed in Duan Jiajia and had this personal relationship.

But not necessarily for others.

After getting in touch with them during this period, both Hu Lai and Duan Jiajia felt that these people were somewhat unsure, and were afraid that they would run out of money if the project was halfway through.

The actors and others don't know how much money they have yet, but after thinking about it and the team, they can roughly deduce the amount of investment in the first part of "Ask the Sword".

This does not include the cost of promoting the movie when it is released.

Not only Sui Dongfeng came to eat, but Kong Yaozu, who was in post-production, also came with people.

No one from bw studio came.

After all, it is a foreign studio, and Kong Yaozu’s team will be responsible for contacting them during subsequent filming.

Kong Yaozu sat aside, listening to the discussion of these people, and secretly wondering about the approximate investment in this project.

Including the special effects production here, it is worth at least 30 million.

Thirty million.

It’s rare to have such a large investment in making a movie these days.

"Ask the Sword" is still a series of movies.

So when Hu Lai said that all the money earned from the "Ghost Valley" series was invested in the development of the "Ask the Sword" series, he was really not bragging.

Maybe it’s not enough!

The dinner ended smoothly this time, everyone felt confident, and the preparation was not so suspenseful.

After Hu Lai quickly decided on a few main roles, the rest was left to the casting director.

We are more than halfway through signing contracts with actors, and we will start shooting directly after the New Year.

In the later stages of the production of "Ghost Valley", Hu Lai had already inspected several places for location production.

During the filming, we had to consider adding special effects, so we contacted Kong Yaozu specifically to find out what was needed to do special effects on location.

Compared to shooting in a studio, Hu Lai feels that real scenes and detailed special effects will give the film a more fairy-tale feel.

Otherwise it would be too fake.

In particular, the book "Ask the Sword" describes many scenery in Sichuan and Shu which are particularly attractive.

Hu Lai also felt it was a pity to give up filming in this area.

If the ready-made filming locations are not used, is it possible that they are really waiting for the special effects to be produced?

Compared to Hu Lai's busy schedule, Duan Jiajia can rest for a while.

As soon as she lay down on the sofa in the office to take a nap, Liang Tian came in with a printed fax and exclaimed.

"Mr. Duan, what a great thing! What a great thing!"

Liang Tian waved the fax in her hand and said excitedly: "The news from Corentus is that the first volume of "The End of Time" has been released."
