Chapter 97 Acquaintances?
Operation Mekong is the next project of Shen Ren.
This news has not been made public, but it is something that many people in the circle know about.
Of course, Sun Honglei also received the news, and there is a specific script!
In fact, an actor who reaches the level of Sun Honglei is almost something he wants to know, and the agency will make arrangements in advance.
Although his agent contract was still signed in Xinbaoyuan, everyone knows that Xinbaoyuan is not the case in the past. As long as Sun Honglei wants to leave, Zhao Baogang will definitely not be able to stop him.
A brokerage company is just a service tool for Sun Honglei!
"Of course I won't call you on the phone, I really think I'm a fool?"
Sun Honglei put down the cell phone in his hand, "Then what should I do?"
"Chen Lin should respect you very much, otherwise he would not have turned down "Chinese Partners" and asked you to film "Veter"!"
Chen Bing analyzed, "Just tell the truth. Chen Lin is also a moviemaker, and he should know you."
The film market has been booming in the past two years, but for Sun Honglei, he is a bit unfamiliar. He rarely sees the mainstream big screen.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to film, he really doesn’t have a good script for him to choose from.
"Hong Lei, the mainstream market now likes to find some actors with box office appeal, which is very unfavorable to you, especially if you just starred in "Unreachable""
Sun Honglei has first-class ability to choose scripts.
Look at the movies he starred in, there are very few bad movies, except for the "Unreachable" which has brought back human favors.
Judging from the script of the movie "Youth Class", it is definitely a rare and good script. Unfortunately, director Xiao Yang failed!
As a powerful actor, Sun Honglei certainly wants to show himself on the big screen.
But there are too few good movie scripts, and there are even fewer ones that suit you.
He likes Gao Gang in "Operation Mekong", but unfortunately, when he received the script, Chen Bing also told him that the role of Gao Gang was already Zhang Hanyu.
It is impossible for him to steal Zhang Hanyu's role!
Not to mention whether his image will be suitable, Zhang Hanyu belongs to the same circle as him, and relatively speaking, he is still a junior!
Sun Honglei got along with Zhao Baogang, while Zhang Hanyu was Feng Xiaogang's little brother.
It’s impossible for the two to make enemies because of a drama!
No matter how much you intercept, you can't intercept your own people!
"Old Chen, please help me ask what projects Chen Lin has next year? His filming schedule may be scheduled to be five years later!"
This is, Chen Lin is the most famous fast gunner in the circle.
"Okay, I'll ask someone to ask, but you have to worry too!"
"Don't worry, I've been in the circle for so many years. When will I say something, I don't know?"
...
The production cost of the entire "Operation Mekong" is 200 million yuan, which seems to be a lot.
But after all, I felt a little nervous.
The filming sequence set by the crew is Chiang Mai, Thailand, and then Bangkok. There are many scenes in Yunnan, and by the way, there are also capitals.
The rent for helicopters and arms is about 30,000 yuan per day!
This is still 50,000 yuan per day when Wu Jing filmed "Wolf Warrior"!
The entire crew had about 300 people, with daily expenses, plus the security personnel allocated by the Ministry of Public Security.
Chen Lin was still crazy and asked for all real scene shooting!
By this calculation, 200 million yuan is not very wasteful!
After arriving in Bangkok, Chen Lin looked at the crew's expenses this month and felt a little depressed.
It seems that 200 million is not enough!
You should know that it is very, very troublesome to add budget if the production cost is not enough.
Bona is not the light, nor is Wanda, Ali, and Yu Dong’s money is very limited!
"Forget it, if it's really not enough, I'll fill in some more!"
I have already negotiated with Yu Dong about the production and director sharing. Now I don’t have enough money, which is really embarrassing!
By the way, Chen Lin is still the producer of this "Operation Mekong"!
"Linzi can reduce some of the expenses, such as this mall, we can rent it, and we don't have to build it!"
Chen Yang flipped over the project plan of Shen Lin, "And here, helicopter formation doesn't need it. I read the script. There is no need to show the helicopter flying in the air. Just cut directly to the shot of the helicopter parked on the ground!"
"That's not possible. You can rent a shopping mall. You must have a helicopter shot. I also want to play a big scene!"
I am not happy about Shen Lin.
"Then you want to cut expenses!"
Chen Yang closed the project plan in his hand, "If I were an investor, I would definitely not let you waste my money like this!"
"It's already very good. Renting a mall saves millions more than building a picture ourselves!"
Chen Lin was very satisfied. It seemed that it was definitely a good idea to let Chen Yang come over.
"Have you finished filming your TV series?"
"It's over, and I'm looking for a TV station now."
"Didn't you say this is the script I wrote?"
Judging from Chen Yang's tone, it seems that there are no TV stations to buy it?
“No, we are looking at which TV station is more suitable.”
Chen Yang shook his head, "Many TV stations want to buy it. Liying and I studied it for a long time and thought that Zhejiang Satellite TV and Mango Satellite TV are the most reliable..."
"Give it to Mango TV, their publicity ability is really amazing!" Chen Lin looked at Chen Yang, "And our studio can't have a quarrel with Mango!"
"Okay, then you sit here first, I'll go to the crew to see!"
Chen Lin nodded and watched Chen Yang leave.
Chen Yang came, Chen Lin felt much more relieved. He handed over all the detailed preparations to her. Chen Lin only needed to coordinate the overall situation.
I have been to Bangkok for a few days. There is a large studio in the eastern suburbs, which can be used as a shooting location.
Rather than being a set, except for a few slightly dilapidated studios, most of them are wasteland and dilapidated buildings.
After all, Thailand's film industry is not quite high, and the most famous movies in Thailand are also pure youth films.
Interestingly, this set that was empty and uninhabited in the past is now extremely busy. Not only is the crew of "Operation Mekong" checked in, but also a crew of the same domestic one.
Teacher Chen and his "Detective Chinatown" also selected the main shooting venue here.
At the beginning, Chen Lin was quite strange. How could "Detective Chinatown" be formed in the eastern suburbs? Logically speaking, they should have filmed the Chinatown in the southern suburbs.
Later I found out that Bangkok had given very generous conditions. As long as you shoot in the eastern suburbs of Bangkok, you can enjoy a 15% tax refund policy!
Almost all filming of "Detective Chinatown" is in Thailand, with a cost of nearly 130 million. Once you have a 15% tax refund, you can get at least more than 10 million back!
Only fools choose to shoot in Chinatown!
Of course, Chen Lin had no intention of changing the shooting site. Changing the outdoor site would inevitably result in large expenses, and he had no reason to hide from Teacher Chen.
Chapter completed!
