Chapter 132 Making Movies

Although the film industry in Spain is not well-developed, it has produced many high-quality goods and classics, and there are also some famous directors.

However, in terms of commercial films, from the perspective of policies and the value trend of the entire film industry, the development of Spanish films in this area is relatively poor, and there is little experience.

Therefore, it is naturally impossible for Li Yong to find those famous actors and directors, because the films they made are not the same as the films he wants to make.

Of course, it's hard to say what the outcome of the movie I made will be.

But anyway, this is to realize the dream, not to make money. Of course, I can do it however I feel comfortable.

In the 90s, the Spanish film industry had bright spots, and the awards season was full of harvest, but overall, in terms of the market and production volume, it was declining.

In 1982, nearly 150 films were produced throughout the year, but by last year, the number had dropped to more than 70, and this year it may drop further.

Under such circumstances, the production of a new film is a rare opportunity for people in the industry to squeeze in.

Especially for Li Yong's film, the initial investment was more than 5000 million pesetas. According to the current exchange rate, one US dollar is about 58 pesetas, which is equivalent to 100 million US dollars.

You must know that the final box office of "Food Truck" was only more than 2000 million Hong Kong dollars, which is almost 200 million US dollars.

And this is just the beginning, and there may be more to add later.

Such a "big client", not to mention the film crew, even the leader of the film department or even the Minister of Culture, has to be supported.

Of course, for Li Yong, this kind of gameplay can't be done casually, it can only be played once, and if he fails, he can go back to the castle in despair and continue to live.

That's why, during Suvia's pregnancy, he worked hard to study and learn relevant knowledge to enrich himself, because he was afraid of being tricked.

In the field of film, since the beginning of industrialization, certain tricks have always existed and never disappeared.

Li Yong can admit that it is his own fault. For example, if the story of the script he wrote is unpopular, and the acting and editing are not good, which leads to the failure of the film, then he will not blame anyone.

But he couldn't allow himself to be cheated into making a defective product, and then his money would be scammed.

Of course, in addition to his own checks, the contacts left by Earl Lubes also have to play a role.

As an old aristocrat who did not rest on his laurels, Earl Lubes has been in business for so many years and has contacts in the political and business circles. Although it cannot directly affect the film industry, it can also serve as a deterrent.

Coupled with your own efforts, you should be able to avoid being taken advantage of as much as possible.

And the director he found was certainly not a famous one, because he already had the story in his mind. Most of the shooting and editing were based on his own ideas, and the director was just his tool.

However, it was precisely because of this that he cherished this opportunity even more. As soon as he heard that there was a new situation on Li Yong's side, he immediately came to visit.

"Mr. Li, congratulations!" Director Jose wished for auspiciousness as soon as he came up, then said some colorful words, and praised Li Yong and his wife.

Although almost a year has passed, Li Yong and the others are about to pass away, but this year they are not without exposure. They have been on the show at the beginning, and later the newspapers have reported on them. Even recently, tabloids occasionally think of them , here is an article when there is no news.

The local news and newspapers in Barcelona will still mention them, at least here, they are still very popular celebrities.

It is even said that the fast food truck of Thomas and David has now become a check-in attraction, because the news that Li Yong used to work there has spread, celebrity effect.

Li Yong didn't respond to his flattering words, which made him a little anxious, and finally couldn't hold back, and asked: "Mr. Li, I don't know, should the crew start work?"

It has been nearly ten months since Li Yong announced that Su Weiya was pregnant, and Li Yong announced the disbandment of the crew. It has been almost a year, and they still miss the crew, not because they really think that the script will be successful, but because of this This kind of work is hard to find.

Without this crew, they would have to go back and make TV dramas.

Therefore, Director Jose came here as a representative of the crew. After all, in the previous month or two of preparations, they had formed a short-term community of interests, and they were in a mutually beneficial relationship on this matter.

Of course, if Li Yong said that he had no more ideas, then their community of interests would soon fall apart.

"Of course we have to start work, but it will take some time."

Director Jose's face froze, "There is still time..."

"Well, of course I'm fine, but you also know that a mother just gave birth, and now she wants to get closer to her baby, and then she has to get back in shape, right?"

"Well, I understand, of course I understand." Director Jose breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked tentatively, "Then I don't know, how long will we have to wait?"

"It's hard to say..." Li Yong said that José's heart arose again, for fear that he was going to make a mess of half a year and ten months.

But of course Li Yong wouldn't say anything accurate. Isn't this putting pressure on Suvia?

Well, actually it’s good to put some pressure. After all, if you don’t have a little pressure during postpartum recovery, you may not be able to persevere.

"Anyway, go back and wait for the news. If we fix a time here, we will notify you in advance."

Jose was helpless, but it was only for the time being.

Li Yong didn't care what he thought, and after sending him away, he went back and told Su Weiya about it.

As a result, Su Weiya said immediately: "Then let them start preparing again now, it will take at least half a month for them to start preparing again, right?

"There are also previous castings. I don't think I can get them back one by one now, and I may have to re-select them. It will take another month. This time should be enough for me to recover..."

It seems that she is really motivated. Since she said so, Li Yong will naturally not refute, and this matter is settled like this.

Afterwards, he told Jose that the director seemed very excited, and immediately went down to make arrangements. Of course, Li Yong's follow-up funds had to be transferred.

Afterwards, Li Yong and Su Weiya resumed their daily routine of preparing for filming before giving birth. The difference was that there was an extra little one.

Although the baby is quite a toss, from another perspective, it is also a strength for Suvia to regain her figure. She wakes her up every night in the middle of the night. It is strange not to lose weight.

Even this spirit has been devastated enough, and I can only slowly force myself to adapt to the child's biological clock.

Fortunately, there are servants such as Malena in the castle, and the birth of the young master is also a great joy for them.

Of course, there are Gloria and his wife, as well as Thomas and David. They all came to visit and take care of the little princess, and they may have to trouble them when they go out to film.

Li Yong couldn't help but think of "Baby Project" when he watched Thomas scrambling to hug the baby.

Then when the time entered the summer of 85, the crew of "Food Truck" finally officially started up, ready to start filming.
