Chapter 377: Cars for the Crew

Promotion!

Chen Mo glanced at Luo Xiao. What was his purpose in choosing those amateur actors?

One point is that he has no experience.

Another point is that these amateurs have no traffic. No traffic means that no one will be interested in the movie after it is released.

No one is interested means no box office.

No box office means no income. Without income, he will lose money.

What a beautiful closed loop!

However, Luo Xiao, this guy, actually wants to promote to break this closed loop.

It seems that this guy is also

"There is no need for promotion. You have to know that a good movie is not promoted, but given by the audience."

"A bad movie is still a bad movie no matter how well you promote it. Maybe in the early stage, there will be many people who choose to watch it because of the promotion, but as the word of mouth gets worse, the number of people who watch it will definitely decrease."

"But a good movie, even if it is not promoted, as the word of mouth gets better, the number of people who choose to watch it will definitely increase."

"So, don't think about the promotion anymore. Put all your energy into film production, which is your primary task."

Chen Mo casually found a reason and rejected the promotion.

Movies are released before settlement. If Luo Xiao really promotes them, which leads to a surge in revenue in the early stage of the movie, it will be troublesome.

"I know, Mr. Chen."

Luo Xiao nodded. He wanted to say that there was no problem in promoting without affecting the production.

But he thought about it and wondered how to avoid affecting the production.

The funds for the movie are just that much. If he took 10 million to promote the movie, the movie production would be reduced by 10 million.

How can it be said that there is no impact?

Maybe if the 10 million for promotion is invested in the movie production, the effect of the movie production will be better.

"Yeah!"

Seeing that Luo Xiao did not refute, Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction.

"You can just do what you want with the film production. There is no need for publicity anyway."

"Next, there are some tasks that need to be assigned to you. Now that the film has been shot, the only thing left is the editing stage. Then prepare for the second film. I need you to select the script and other matters before the new film is released."

"Also, the crew's car allocation, as for what kind of car is needed and how many are needed, you can calculate it yourself. And the manager's car allocation, the last time the car was allocated, you were not in Jiangcheng, so no car was allocated to you."

"And now that you are back, the car allocation will naturally be implemented."

"As for the place to buy the car...well, Shen Rou will give you a contact number when the time comes, you can just find that person."

Thinking of buying a car, he thought of the 4S store salesperson who gave him a business card last time.

He remembered that business card and gave it to Shen Rou at that time.

"Thank you, Mr. Chen."

Luo Xiao was a little touched. He knew about the car allocation in the manager group when he was filming in Kyoto.

But he didn't feel much about the car, it didn't matter whether there was one or not.

What touched him was that when they just returned to the company, Mr. Chen brought up this matter.

This showed that Mr. Chen had always remembered this matter in his heart, which made him feel valued.

Since the failure of filming, he had not felt valued for a long time, including his family.

Wang Bin was also on the side, and thanked excitedly.

"Okay, that's all. You guys go and get busy. The purchase of the car should be implemented as soon as possible in the next two days."

After arranging the matters of Blue Film Film, Chen Mo waved his hand directly.

After Luo Xiao and Wang Bin left,

he took the opportunity to call Tang Qiu and talked about the allocation of cars.

Sure enough,

after he told the manager about the allocation of cars, Tang Qiu directly replied that he had a car and did not need a car.

There was no way,

and he found many excuses at random to make Tang Qiu accept the allocation of cars.

After hanging up the phone,

he picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip, and then notified Shen Rou again, asking her to send the contact information of the salesperson of the 4S store left last time to Luo Xiao and Tang Qiu.

...........

After Luo Xiao and Wang Bin left the president's office,

they took the elevator back to Blue Film.

After arranging some simple work, it was already noon.

"Let's go, let's go to the cafeteria for lunch."

Luo Xiao glanced at the time and went straight to the elevator.

"What about the special effects?"

Wang Bin followed Luo Xiao and said with some worry.

Now that the filming of the movie is over, only the editing and special effects are left. The company's own production team is definitely not enough.

We still need some outsourcing companies to share some of the special effects production.

"That's easy to say. You can find Fang Chang to find out. After all, they are game developers and they must know more than us. It shouldn't be a problem to ask them to recommend a few better production teams."

Luo Xiao said lightly.

What they lack now is not money, but a good special effects production team.

"Yes, it's the lunch period now. Fang Chang and the others must also go to eat. We can just discuss it with them in the cafeteria."

Wang Bin nodded slightly.

The two took the elevator and came to tomorrow's cafeteria. Not long after, they saw Fang Chang, Wei Yan and others entering the cafeteria.

Luo Xiao and Wang Bin saw this and hurriedly sat down with their dinner plates.

........

"What about the special effects team? I do know some here, some good and some bad. It depends on how much money you have."

Fang Chang spoke slowly while listening to Luo Xiao's inquiry.

When they make games, they sometimes outsource some special effects or modeling work, so they have a certain positioning in mind regarding the strength of those production teams.

"The funds are there, probably more than 60 million."

Luo Xiao spoke quickly.

Mr. Chen invested a total of 80 million yuan, of which the actors' remuneration, losses during filming, and other daily expenses probably cost more than 16 million yuan in total.

In fact, it can be more economical. After all, there is no need to pay a lot of money to amateur actors.

His original plan was that a salary of 200,000 yuan for each of the leading actors would be enough.

After all, they are all amateur actors with no experience, and the salary of 200,000 yuan is already very high.

For example, when I went to the Shanghai Academy of Drama to choose actors, some students said they could do it without being paid.

But Mr. Chen said that the salary of 200,000 yuan was too little, so the salary for the starring role was directly raised to 500,000 yuan. Important supporting roles were also given a salary of 300,000 yuan, and then actors like Wang Qiang who did not play many roles were also given a salary of 100,000 yuan.

This is what leads to,

In terms of salary, several million more were spent than the original budget.

certainly,

In terms of expenses, not only the actors' remuneration, but also the filming staff of the crew were classified as business trips by Mr. Chen.

Therefore, all the crew members will have 500 yuan in travel expenses every day.

He originally thought that Mr. Chen was a bit extravagant in doing this, but during the filming, he saw how attentive the actors were and how actively the crew members were working.

He gradually understood Mr. Chen's intention.
