Crazy, 500 yuan also dare to make a science fiction blockbuster

Several people nodded.

For these things, they have no resistance.

After all, making a movie, they haven't been in any weird scenes, especially the extras and doubles.

On the island, in the desert, in the cesspit, etc.

It's quite normal to use the toilet to film.

When Chernobyl just exploded, a director took actors in to make a movie in order to catch up with the heat and resisted the nuclear radiation.

As a result, several months have passed, and the investors have not received any information from him, thinking that he has run away.

After waiting for more than ten years, the nuclear radiation over there was not so strong, and some well-equipped explorers stepped into it.

During their adventure, they found the tent and corpses of the director and crew, and immediately called the police.

It was quite a sensation at the time.

And for the movies they shot, some film rolls are still intact and usable.

So the adventurers who picked up the film sold the film to a film company at a high price.

The film company went on to turn the intact film into a movie, and after some publicity, it directly raked in 12 billion at the box office!And it's a knife!

Even as of today, this movie is still in the top ten box office of all time!

But the bad news is that those who have been exposed to the original film of the film seem to have a bad life for the rest of their lives...

"So, do you need black people in this movie?"

Ronnie smiled and pointed his fingertips at himself, as if he was selling himself to Ye Heng.

"Need, but it depends on your performance."

"As you wish." Nero said with a smile on his face.

Ye Heng thought about the role of the black policeman in the movie.

"Play the role of a policeman with integrity."

Nero immediately showed a serious face, took out a key from his pocket, and gestured to draw a gun.

Ye Heng nodded.

"Going crazy while acting, that's the kind of hysterical madness."

"Like a madman, a paranoid madman!"

Ronnie froze for a moment.

This time he was asked to play a policeman on duty, and another time he was asked to play a crazy lunatic.

Could it be that my character is a patient with schizophrenia?

Although he didn't know what Ye Heng was going to do, he did it anyway.

After all, Ye Heng is the director, and he will do whatever the director tells him to do!

Ronnie completed the audition according to Ye Heng's request and with his own insights.

I have to say that he perfectly interprets the paranoia and madness of the black police in the movie.

"You acted very well."

"I grew up in a slum, and I saw crazy people every now and then."

Ronnie said, as if telling Ye Heng the source of his inspiration.

Then Ye Heng began to audition for other people.

For these audition people, Ye Heng almost always took a look at their appearance, and then thought about the characters similar to them in the seven movies.

Once they find a suitable character, let them act out the breakup according to the plot of this character in the movie.

"Try to imagine that you love your family very much, and now, they are caught by a group of bad guys, and there is nothing you can do!"

"Now you are in a closed environment. If you want to escape, you have to cut off your own leg! Try to express that pain."

"You're watching a guy right in front of you amputate his own leg and you're terrified!"

……

While talking, Ye Heng asked everyone to perform.

This kind of selection is very fast. In less than half an hour, Ye Heng has almost selected the leading role.

"It's my turn, how should I act?"

The last audition person came up.

It was an old man in his 60s and [-]s who came up.

The old man's hair has turned into silver, and his height is short, but he still looks kind.

"Sorry, but I probably don't need you here."

Hearing this, the old man's face suddenly showed a look of disappointment.

"It's okay, it's okay, then call me the next time you need me."

The old man walked back, and Ye Heng's actor was also selected.

A total of 61 people is not enough, but at least the first four films can get off the ground.

He can start filming while looking for actors.

"Okay, that's the end of today's audition."

"Actor friends who have just been selected by me, please come and join the group."

"In the evening, I will post the script to the group and tell you the roles you will play."

"After you go back and watch the show, we will start filming tomorrow!"

Ye Heng said, he didn't want to waste too much time.

Chapter 35

"Then what is our daily salary?"

An actor suddenly asked loudly.

Ye Heng was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that he didn't seem to have thought about this aspect.

Because when Xu Minglang and the others were filming "This Big Boss Comes From Earth" before, they all starred with zero pay, so Ye Heng didn't think about the pay when preparing the film.

In a place like the United States, the lead actor's salary may not be too low.

But the problem is that he only has more than 1000 million in total!

At first, I was full of confidence and felt that the money was completely enough, and there was even a surplus.

As a result, it now seems that it is simply an idiot talking in sleep.

“$200 per person per day!”

Shi Qinlong at the side suddenly stood up and showed two fingers.

Ye Heng couldn't help but gasp when he heard this.

$200 a day?Are you really not afraid of being beaten?

Those leading actors in China are all worth millions every minute!

This day is 200 US dollars, and all the leading actors add up to 61 people, which is only about 12 a day?

This is less than a day's salary for a domestic star.

Ye Heng originally thought that these actors would be furious when they heard the price.

Unexpectedly, after hearing the price, instead of being angry, they showed happy expressions.

This time Ye Heng was stupid.

What the hell?Is such a small salary worth being happy?

Ye Heng wanted to ask Shi Qinlong why they were so happy with such a small salary.

But he was afraid that these people would take the opportunity to increase the price after he finished asking, so he held back, and waited until he got in the car and left for a while before voicing out the doubts in his heart.

"Brother Long, why are they so happy with just 200 dollars?"

Hearing Ye Heng's words, Shi Qinlong laughed immediately.

"Brother, I know that many people in your Longguo film industry are very profitable, but this is a beautiful country."

"The first thing you need to know is that when they're doing extras, they only earn $50 a day."

"And now, if you give them 200 yuan, that's four times their income!"

Hearing this, Ye Heng suddenly came back to his senses.

Yes, these people are just ordinary extras, little actors.

Even in China, the price of playing tricks is not high.

I remember reading the news before, it is about 100RMB to run a day in the vertical store.

"And you also let them be the leading actors. These guys, the youngest ones have been in this circle for five or six years."

"The older ones, like Ronnie, have been climbing for 16 years."

"They all dream of being the leading actors and wanting to be famous. You gave them such a good opportunity and gave them four times the salary. It's too late for them to be happy!"

Hearing this, Ye Heng nodded slightly.

Calculated in this way, 1.2 a day means 36 a month.

According to Ye Heng's estimate, it will take at least half a year to finish filming.

Of course, this half a year refers to the time required to finish filming all the seven steps.

If Dangdang is only the first part, half a month is actually enough.

After all, in the previous life, when Wen Dashen made the first film, he only spent 120 million dollars plus 18 days.

Of course, these 18 days are just the shooting time, and other things like preparation, prop production, post-editing and so on are not included.

Previously, Ye Heng was able to shoot "This Boss From Earth" in 3 days, but this time it took 15 days to line up "Jigsaw 1" which shouldn't be a problem.

The half-year filming period is 180 days, 1.2 a day, and the salary expenditure is about 200 million.

It's not too much, accounting for one-sixth of Ye Heng's funds.

And there are a lot of money left, among which props are a big one.

All kinds of severed limbs, blood plasma and torture props.

And the quality can't be bad, so at least 3 to 400 are needed.

Then there is the venue rental. The first few films were okay, but the later the venue, the more money is needed for the venues involved.

I don't know if it is enough to keep 300 million.

Then came the special effects.

The garbage dump explosion in the seventh part, whether it is special effects or real shooting, I am afraid it will cost a lot of money, 200 million.

After that is the salary of the crew, I don't know if 200 million is enough.

Calculated in this way, the special effects are 200 million, the actors are 200 million, the crew is 200 million, the props are at least 300 million, and the venue is 200 million.

The total is about 1100 million.

Looks like there's still some left.

But at this moment, Ye Heng suddenly remembered that there was another fatal problem.

Grandma's!There are also box lunches for the crew!

"Brother Long, how much is the box lunch for the crew here?"

Shi Qinlong thought for a while, "There are $5, $10, $20, and even $100."

Hearing this, Ye Heng couldn't help but gasp.
