Chapter 152 You Can't Pull Them Out Again

After the script discussion was over and the final decision was made, Wang Bin solemnly said to Yang Lingyue: "Director Yang, I have a commission, please consider it."

"Uh, what is it?" Yang Lingyue was a little confused for a moment.

"Can you write a song for our drug enforcement police? We have listened to all the songs you have written, and your creative ability is obvious to all. Please don't refuse." Wang Bin stated the main purpose of coming here today.

But why let him write? There are so many capable creators.

Yang Lingyue quickly went through it in his mind, a song for elementary school students? Inspirational divine song turned into a brainwashing divine song?

"This is possible, Director Yang, please take the trouble." Ma Ke echoed on the side.

"Thank you for the leaders' respect. I have been checking the information these days and looking at some deeds of our people's team. I am also quite touched. I will sort it out and give you two a reply as soon as possible." Yang Lingyue thought for a while and said slowly.

"Then wait for good news from Director Yang." Wang Bin smiled.

Then Wang Bin said goodbye and left because he had something to do. After all, he had to work overtime on the weekend. If he didn't go back to accompany his wife and children, they would have something to say.

"Brother, awesome! Just come to Golden Shield after graduation." Ma Ke said happily.

"Haha, Brother Ma, you said that." Yang Lingyue said happily.

"You're kidding me, but if you want to get into the system, this is indeed a way." Ma Ke smiled and said seriously.

"It's too early, let's talk about it later." Yang Lingyue nodded and said.

The two chatted for a while and mentioned that the people from Golden Shield would come out tomorrow to send scripts to the actors who were scheduled to be invited to perform.

Then Yang Lingyue said goodbye and left because Ma Ke's assistant called him to go to the airport.

It was noon. After calling Zeng Li, he returned to Courtyard No. 5. On the way, he bought himself some braised meat, otherwise he would have to eat grass again.

In the afternoon, Yang Lingyue made a budget. I haven't talked about how to make a budget for a movie before, so I will briefly talk about it here.

In short, it is about time, location, personnel, and expenses, not just money.

At the same time, it also reflects the time period before shooting, during shooting, and after shooting.

Expenses before shooting are generally divided into two items: script fees and location/preparation;

Expenses during shooting include: production fees (equipment/props rental or purchase), staff remuneration (main creators, temporary workers), actor remuneration (main actors, extras), production fees (board and lodging, transportation, travel, drama, public relations, unforeseen/reserve funds);

Support after shooting includes: composition, printing, editing, dubbing, and synthesis.

Further refinement, such as the fuel cost of Yang Lingyue's car during the preparation period and the A4 paper used for printing are all part of the cost, because he is not just a screenwriter.

Prop rental should be detailed to the number of lights used, what type of lights, etc.

These are sophomore courses, and Yang Lingyue has already mastered them. This requires you to understand every aspect of the crew. Of course, it will not be particularly detailed. The producer will communicate with each department and make supplements.

So why did the teachers pay so much attention to Yang Lingyue's ability to make a film in his freshman year? This kid has worked hard to learn behind the scenes. He is worthy of being someone I value. He is so outstanding, so hardworking, and understands the ways of the world. Which teacher doesn't like such a student?

And these are also the important reasons why Yang Lingyue has to stay in school. Of course, you can continue to study after you go out, but without this learning atmosphere, the great teachers will not be so earnest.

In short, Yang Lingyue's budget is 250,000, script fee 30,000, shooting expenses 150,000, post-production expenses 50,000, and reserve funds 20,000.

Actors? Sorry, there is no budget, just give a red envelope, I didn't even count the director's fee.

If you don't take it if I give it to you, what's the point?

Why do you want to take the script fee?

Because in Yang Lingyue's mind, the script is the most important part of all film and television dramas, and it is also the first.

Without Mo Yan, would there be Zhang Yimou's award-winning films?

Without Lu Wei, would there be Brother Chen Kai's "Farewell My Concubine"?

At present and even in the future, the status of domestic screenwriters in the crew is the lowest, which is very strange.

Let me tell you a funny thing. The "Huaxia Film News", the oldest and most authoritative film newspaper in China, summarized 100 excellent domestic films on the occasion of celebrating its 100th anniversary. Among the materials released, there was not a single screenwriter's name, not a single one.

There were only directors and actors.

Yang Lingyue thought about this problem, which was the reason for the production center system, but he could not discuss it.

After the physical education class the next afternoon, Yang Lingyue called his friends to a meeting in an empty classroom.

This time Du Xiaoyu participated, but she was no longer a producer, but an executive producer. This was the result of a discussion between Yang Lingyue and Ma Ke.

Everyone was as excited as a happy flea when they saw the list of actors.

"Calm down, calm down, I don't know whether these actors can show up at the moment." Yang Lingyue was black.

"Who doesn't want to act in this movie, and who can refuse?" Wang Zizhao said with a smile.

"That's right."

"That's right."

"..."

"Then why are you so excited? It's not my ability. Okay, no more nonsense. This is a learning opportunity for us. Jindun is mainly responsible for the production. Except for me, you are all assistants."

Yang Lingyue clapped his hands and said slowly.

"We are still the ones who do the main work?" Du Xiaoyu said.

"Yes, this is a condition that the producer Ma Ke and I asked for." Yang Lingyue nodded and continued:

"Xiaoyu, Monkey, Dapeng, you three will have to go to Jindun a few more times next time, each doing your own job. The site selection, shooting plan, and actor communication must be completed before next week. Is there any problem?"

"Yes, how is the cooperation over there?" Du Xiaoyu raised her hand.

"Just do it, if you have any questions, go directly to Ma Ke." Yang Lingyue gave a positive look.

"Ma Ke is the other one when you sang "Qingyu'an. Yuan Xi"?" Cai Chuyuan smiled.

"Yes, that's him." Yang Lingyue nodded.

Everyone understood that Yang Lingyue already had a circle and resources outside the school.

Afterwards, Yang Lingyue went to find the head teacher Yang Lin and told him about this matter, and he also wanted to ask for leave for himself and his classmates.

"After filming this, you can't pull them anymore. If you want to film, go find juniors and seniors or those from other schools." Yang Lin said helplessly.

They are all good seedlings. You have a sharp eye. If you train them, they can take up important responsibilities. You always pull them out. They become wild and cannot settle down. They cannot lay a solid foundation. This is a big sin.

"I understand what the teacher means. They have not delayed the study of the textbooks. They can all study hard. Don't worry, I will help them create independently in the future." Yang Lingyue agreed with a smile.
