All along, Lu Qian never needs to worry about the cost control of filming, even if Lu Qian pursues perfection, he always grasps the proportions.

However, one of the important reasons that cannot be ignored is that Lu Qian has never filmed a "big" production.

The "big" here refers specifically to the scale of the shoot, the set props, the staff, the computer effects, and so on.

Including the "raid" series, "lover", "tourist" and other works, although the scale of these works has reached a certain level, it is still not large.

"Deadpool" is different. From venue rental to studio layout, from the number of staff to the scale of scene mobilization, from on-site shooting to post-production special effects, the entire scale has risen one step, or even two steps, in all directions. The cost of the scene is not the same.

For the layman, there may be some confusion:

The studio has already been built. If the same scene is shot repeatedly, that is, the same studio is used, why is the cost gap so huge?

Simple example:

First of all, the "Deadpool" crew was filming in Qingcheng, and they persuaded the city hall to use the ruins that were about to be demolished as a set for actual shooting.

However, the rental venue is calculated on a daily basis. It is the same as the studio. If you stay in the studio for one more day, you will count as one more day. Even if Qingcheng gives preferential treatment, the fee that should be paid cannot be completely reduced or exempted.

Secondly, the same is true for the crew members. Unlike the core staff such as directors, actors, and screenwriters, most of the crew members are paid daily.

even hourly wages.

That is to say, if the same scene is shot repeatedly, the cost will continue to be calculated as the time increases.

Even if they don't have work tasks for the time being and are just on standby, the cost is still being calculated, unless it is determined today that these staff members do not need to come to the crew to report, then they can be billed.

Again, the damage to the props and the restoration of the venue.

Just like the scene just now, once filming, all the props must be updated once. Bloodstains, stains, brains, and other broken scenes and tools all need to be restored to their original state, and even all new equipment is used. The larger the scene, the replacement in one go more tools.

That's the cost.

For the movie "Deadpool", Lu Qian used digital filming throughout the entire process, not film, which is slightly better, otherwise the expenditure on film is also a big deal.

That is to say, as long as they stay on the crew and shoot one more time, the production cost will continue to accumulate.

It can be seen that the larger the crew and the more magnificent the scene, the more expensive the production cost per shot.

When filming "The Raid", the entire scale was controlled within a limited range. If one scene was not satisfactory, Lu Qian could shoot five or ten times over and over again, possibly at most 500,000.

But shooting "Deadpool", the production cost of a scene may be more than 500,000 yuan, and a scene as difficult as today's one shot must be even higher.

It is conceivable that Lu Qian could not be as willful as he was during the "raid".

Similar situations did not only happen to Lu Qian.

In recent years, Fantastic Pictures has been exploring independent directors, TV drama directors, commercial directors, documentary directors, and animation directors one after another to direct superhero movies. In the final analysis, it is because they shoot these movies as series, and Not a "movie".

Long before Fantastic Pictures, Lanchuan had such a habit. After the directors of low-budget B-level movies such as horror, suspense, comedy, and sci-fi became famous in the first battle, large studios sought them out to take charge of A. A guide for high-level movies, hoping to unearth the next box office tycoon.

Of course, there are successes and failures, but overall, these directors suffer from the same problems:

Control of shooting costs.

It is not a simple difference in budget, but the difference in the entire production model, which makes it difficult for B-level directors to control the scale of A-level films. A little carelessness will lead to a lot of unnecessary expenditures. Extravagance and waste are a problem, wasted After that, the ideal work has not been shot, which is even more problematic.

Not to mention, look at "Deadpool" -

If Lions Pictures directly threw 1.5 billion to Lu Qian and asked for an excellent finished product, how could Lu Qian be able to tinker with a decent work.

Now Lion Pictures has thrown 300 million over, obviously it is a "B-level budget", but expects Lu Qian to turn decadent into magic, and conjures up an exquisite A-level movie.

Things get even harder:

How to avoid the cheap feeling and shoot a real "high-end" in a limited budget, this is a homework.

Lu Qian does have his own ideas, but in any case, this is his first time taking over a big production, and those practical problems are still unavoidable.

Ji Xu was also a little worried.

This scene, seeing the filming over and over again, the production cost is burning day by day, but there is no end in sight.

If this continues, Ji-su worries that they might go over budget—

For the first time ever.

It is estimated that the media will be lively again by then.

According to Lion Pictures, 300 million is 300 million, and the budget cannot be increased any more. If the budget is exceeded, it must be paid by Blue Whale Pictures.

Having said that.

How could Ji Xu be obedient? Once the budget is exceeded, he will definitely find Xiongshi Pictures, and they will talk to them, "300 million superhero movies? If the director overruns, I believe the entire Lanchuan will stand by the director. side", he absolutely can't keep Lions out of the picture.

However, Ji Xu still hopes to avoid this step as much as possible.

At this time, Ji Xu was a little flustered, looking at Lu Qian who was silent.

"director?"

Ji Xu came to the monitor and saw that Lu Qian did not continue to watch the playback, but did not speak, and called out carefully.

Lu Qian raised his head and looked over.

No fire.

Ji Xu was overjoyed.

"Director, how is the effect of this scene, are you satisfied?"

"I think it's good. This should be the best shot recently, what do you think?"

Lu Qian nodded affirmatively, "That's true."

Ji Xu raised her eyebrows with joy, and even her voice became cheerful.

"So, is this game over?"

Seeing that Lu Qian was still silent, Ji Xu seemed to be able to smell Lu Qian's hesitation immediately, and added quickly.

"Director, this is your original words. When shooting a commercial film, the pursuit is 80%, not 100%. There is no need to elaborate every scene, otherwise it will make the whole film too delicate. , UU reading www.uukanshu.com loses the popcorn effect."

"Because commercial films need a little relaxation, a little ease, and a little dashing, perfectionism's persistence and restraint are obviously not suitable for this atmosphere."

"Perhaps 80 points per scene, but when put together, it can produce a 120 point effect, mentality and temperament, which can be felt from the camera."

"We're making a commercial film right now, remember?"

I have to say that Ji Xu still knows Lu Qian.

Even if the situation is difficult, the words are still relaxed, not aggressive, the atmosphere relaxes, and even smiles can be seen.

The corner of Lu Qian's mouth rose, "I know, I haven't forgotten this, I don't need you to remind me."

Ji Xu let out a long sigh, "That would be better."
