Shooting a science fiction film is the most thankless job in the world of Dragon Country directors.
Not many people can bear the cost of burning money doing post-production special effects.
Because everyone spends money on hiring traffic stars.
The crew is unwilling to spend more money on special effects, and the resulting movie will be shoddy, and the market will certainly not buy it.
Going to a science fiction movie just to see a few popular stars?
Isn't that looking for sin?
Over time, this endless cycle has made smart management scornful of science fiction movies.
Want them to put money into science fiction movies?
It's better to spread it all on the river. At least people passing by will praise you for your pride instead of saying stupid things.
Therefore, asking investors for money at this time is comparable to giving sight to a blind person.
That’s really something I can’t do!
Seeing Guo Fan's interest, Wu Pan continued: "Director Guo, don't forget, after this movie is made, if there is no support from the audience, the movie theater will not schedule movies for us just to make money."
When Wu Gan mentioned this, Guo Fan fell silent.
Because Wu Dan told the truth.
There are only a few movies that make money during Dragon Kingdom’s box office schedule.
In order to make money, movie theaters will definitely schedule more films for movies with potential. This can ensure that the movie theaters get more when dividing the accounts.
One of the criteria for judging whether it has potential is whether the other party has a large number of fan support and how popular the discussion is.
As for science fiction movies, these two indicators suffer the most.
There were fewer people watching, so what discussion was there?
Although there is a popular saying now that "black and red are also red", in fact, other people are too lazy to criticize science fiction movies. The main reason is that they have been popular for so many years and they can't come up with anything new.
Originally Qianda Pictures invested, and Guo Fan didn't have to worry about film scheduling.
Qianda Pictures owns thousands of movie theaters in Dragon Kingdom, covering all cities in Dragon Kingdom.
Nowadays, the divestment of Qianda Pictures represents an attitude.
They definitely won’t give Wandering Planet too many shots.
Facing Guo Fan is undoubtedly a dead end!
"Brother Gai, what do you mean is that we post the pilot promotion online and then see the reaction of fans and friends?" Following Wu Gao's train of thought, Guo Fan knew what Wu Gao wanted to do.
"Yes, online promotion is free and will not increase our current costs. Wandering Planet itself has a base of book fans, and we can promote it through these people."
"Don't you want to know what everyone's reaction will be like after the crew has been filming something for so long?"
Wu Gan's words awakened Guo Fan, and Guo Fan did as he was told. He immediately picked up his cell phone and called the people in the editing department and asked them to edit a one-minute pilot promotional video.
Guo Fan usually has a rigorous work attitude, and the staff basically obeys his instructions.
The editing department received this kind of task late at night, and there was no complaint at all. The whole team took action immediately. Finally, the sample was delivered to Guo Fan at one o'clock in the morning.
After checking it over, Guo Fan put forward a few suggestions. After the people in the editing department revised it, Guo Fan determined that there were no problems before he agreed with the people in the operations department on the release time of the pilot film and other matters.
This night, Guo Fan was destined to be sleepless.
The time soon came to seven o'clock the next morning.
Jiang's Props Factory.
As soon as he got home last night, Jiang Chen transferred the 400,000 he just earned to the Jiangs and his wife, and then told the Jiangs and his wife that he had joined Wandering Planet.
Jiang Chen told the Jiang couple his idea. He wanted to go to the crew to get more opportunities to make props. He would find a way to pay for the factory's debt so that the Jiang couple didn't have to worry.
Li Lan looked at Jiang Chen who was so sensible and couldn't help but hold him and cry loudly.
Although Jiang Wuyuan didn't cry loudly, his eyes were red. He didn't expect that Jiang's factory could be saved!
What he didn't even expect was that Jiang Chen, whom he had previously regarded as a child, would support the entire family overnight.
Because it was the reason why Jiang Chen reported to the crew on his first day.
Jiang and his wife got up very early today.
After the two of them prepared a table of breakfast, Jiang Chen happened to get up as well.
"Uncle and aunt, why did you cook so many delicious things this morning?"
Jiang Chen was slightly surprised when he saw that there were not only food but steamed buns, fried dough sticks and shaomai on the table.
This must be the most sumptuous breakfast he has ever seen in his life.
"Xiao Chen, sit down and eat quickly. Your uncle said that the crew has meals at irregular times. You must be full before going in the morning, otherwise you will be hungry."
Li Lan greeted with a smile.
Jiang Chen originally wanted to refute, but after thinking about the conditions of the homeless crew, he finally obeyed and ate.
When he finished eating and packed up to go to the set, Jiang Wuyue's face was hesitant, as if he was about to say something. Before Jiang Chen went out, Jiang Wuwu decided to speak out:
"Come on Xiaochen, we are proud of you!"
Jiang Chen, who had never heard this sentence in his previous life, immediately laughed.
The rising sun rises in the east, and the sunshine spreads all over the earth.
After Jiang Chen walked into the cinema with warm sunshine, Jiang Chen met Guo Fan who was explaining things to the screenwriter Mr. Gong.
"Xiao Jiang, wait until I get off, and we'll go to the props team together." Guo Fan asked and said after seeing Jiang Chen.
After Guo Fan finished talking to Teacher Gong, he walked over and motioned for Jiang Chen to follow him.
They came to the props team's office together. Guo Fan said to Sun Shang, who was preparing for a meeting: "Team Leader Sun, Xiao Jiang will join our props team from today on. You have to take good care of him!"
Because Sun Shang didn't know about the cooperation between Jiang Chen and Guo Fan, everyone was confused when they heard the news.
Guo Fan ignored his reaction and continued: "The next step is to make life-sustaining protective clothing. Team Leader Sun, you have to hurry up. You have seen Xiaojiang's skills before. This time, he can take over the production of protective clothing." .”
Faced with Guo Fan's arrangement, Sun Shang certainly understood what Guo Fan meant.
"Director Guo, haven't our protective suits been ready?"
Sun Shang reminded.
He is now worried that Guo Fan feels that the previous protective clothing is not suitable and needs to be remade.
"I know, isn't that one worn by Liu Qi and the others? Isn't there a military version left without a design?"
"Didn't you say you were having difficulty with the design last time? Why don't I find a good helper for you?"
Sun Shang thought to himself that the civilian version of the protective clothing had just been designed, and it was time for someone to design a military version.
Okay, it's all Jiang Chen's job anyway, he doesn't have to do it.
Sun Shang felt that Guo Fan was a little whimsical and wanted a sophomore to design a military version of protective clothing. Although he was angry, he didn't say much and accepted all Guo Fan's words.
Sun Shang thought, since he couldn't do it when the time came, he wouldn't be the one who was embarrassed.
After Guo Fan arranged Jiang Chen's affairs, he was ready to go to the operations department.
The pilot promotional video will be released today.
Guo Fan had a layer of cold sweat on his palms for some reason...
