Chapter 240 Looking for an Actor
Worship money.
This is a very complex word.
Some people worship money because of their childhood experiences.
Some people are just chasing money.
But in any case, this word is a derogatory term in modern times.
But everything has two sides.
Chasing money is not a bad thing.
After all, in modern society, money is not everything, but nothing is impossible without money.
In Peng Hui's view, as long as it doesn't break the law and doesn't corrupt basic human moral standards, chasing money is not a bad thing.
Peng Hui's savings over the years, his salary over the years, and even part of the dividends from the previous "Wolf Warrior 2" were basically invested in this "Wandering Earth" project.
The budget is tentatively set at 300 million.
But if you think about it, this kind of heavy industry science fiction is extremely expensive.
Three hundred million?
I'm afraid I can only make part of it.
But Peng Hui himself didn't care much.
Although Li Shanshan was surprised by Peng Hui's desperate move, the money was all Peng Hui's own money, so it was hard to say anything.
We can only prepare the most basic film budget for Peng Hui.
However, Peng Hui frowned a little as he looked at it.
"Peng Peng, this..." Li Shanshan had a headache after checking the budget.
Based on the level of shots that Peng Hui currently needs to achieve, the money for special effects alone would be 250 million!
In this case, the money left for normal filming is only 100 million.
But to be honest, if this 100 million were used in other movies, it would be enough.
But this is a science fiction movie!
Moreover, Peng Hui’s preparation also involves the physical construction of the scene!
In the book "The Wandering Earth", Peng Hui only filmed one sentence.
In other words, this story could be a series!
In this way, its scenes are either shot once and built once, or simply done once and for all.
In terms of total budget, of course the latter is more economical.
But the problem is that if you really do this, the cost will be too high.
One hundred million?
I’m afraid even 300 million won’t be able to stop it!
Not to mention the exoskeleton armor worn by the actors in the plot.
Thanks to Peng Hui's own painting skills, it is quite lifelike.
But the problem is, the cost of just one set of this kind of armor is over one million!
In the play, Peng Hui’s requirement is at least twenty sets!
That's twenty million.
Coupled with some miscellaneous expenses, the amount of money is really scary to look at.
Li Shanshan was also helpless.
As soon as I took office, I came into contact with a film production that could be called an A-level production even in Hollywood.
It is also a frustrating thing.
Since a real scene needs to be built, Peng Hui still has at least half a year to prepare.
After the National Day, it is basically the time of major awards season.
Surprisingly, Peng Hui was nominated for the Golden Horse Award for Best Actor this year. The nominated role was the leading actor in "The Elephant Sitting on the Floor".
In addition, there is also the best screenplay for "I'm Not the God of Medicine".
Although anyone with a discerning eye can tell at a glance, Peng Hui's acting skills are actually still very immature.
But this Best Actor nomination suddenly made Li Shanshan busy.
Countless scripts and invitations came one after another.
But Peng Hui was not interested.
Li Shanshan also shook her head after looking at it.
The news that Peng Hui is about to shoot a movie has spread along with the preliminary preparations.
However, what makes people feel strange is that although the investment for this movie is as high as 300 million and it is a proper big production, no one took the initiative to contact Peng Hui.
In desperation, Peng Hui could only take the initiative to find someone.
The first thing I found was Shan Zheng.
However, what makes him depressed is that the film "Shan Zheng" is about to start production in January next year, and the schedule will definitely not be adjusted by then.
In desperation, Peng Hui could only find someone else.
This time, he was looking for Wu Jing.
Fortunately, Wu Jing readily agreed.
When Wu Jing was filming "Wolf Warrior 2", there was also a situation of overspending in the later period. It was Peng Hui who didn't say anything and directly injected the 20 million that he just got into his hands, saving Wu Jing from the dilemma of selling his house.
.
Therefore, Wu Jing always remembered this favor.
This is why he readily agreed.
Of course, several projects were rejected for this purpose.
Although Wu Jing participated, the nature of Wu Jing's role was actually just a guest appearance.
Starring him and a young female actor.
The requirement is to be younger than Peng Hui.
On his first thought, Peng Hui went to find Zhang Zifeng.
However, what is depressing again is that Xiao Zifeng was also unable to participate because the schedule was not suitable.
Unlike Peng Hui, Xiao Zifeng is a child star who has strength, good looks, and is popular with the audience!
Moreover, the little girl has been filming in a low profile and has not had any negative news, so she is a very popular post-00s star.
And this time, the little girl is going to star in "Secret Visitor" directed by Chen Zhengdao. She also has a youth campus movie "Goodbye, Boy" and the upcoming "Detective Chinatown 3".
As an opportunity for Xiao Zifeng's rise, the "Detective Chinatown" series has filmed its third installment. This time, it is inevitable that Xiao Zifeng will return.
The first two are nothing, but the key point is that according to Peng Hui's current production plan, the filming time of "The Wandering Earth" happens to be stuck during most of the filming of "Detective Chinatown 3".
Although Peng Hui is Xiao Zifeng's godbrother, the "Detective Chinatown" series is Xiao Zifeng's younger brother.
When he learned that Xiao Zifeng was in trouble, Peng Hui gave up.
"Brother, are you looking for a young actress?" Xiao Zifeng asked curiously.
"By the way, do you know any little girls about your age who are good at acting?" Peng Hui's eyes lit up, and he suddenly remembered that he could ask Xiaozi Feng.
After all, unlike his otaku self, Xiao Zifeng is an "old actor". Over the years, he must have come into contact with many more people of the same age than him.
And as his sister, Xiao Zifeng's evaluation is naturally more objective and standard than the media or others.
"How is Zhao Jinmai?" Xiao Zifeng asked curiously.
"Zhao Jinmai?" Peng Hui asked funnyly: "Okay, I'll go back and check."
"kindness."
"The weather has been cold recently. Remember to wear more clothes. You are weak and don't catch a cold." Peng Hui expressed special concern.
"I know, oops, why are you nagging more than my mother?" Xiao Zi Feng teased jokingly.
"Get out!" Peng Hui hung up the phone angrily and funny.
He shook his head and called Xiao Ju again.
"Why are you thinking of calling me?" Xiao Ju asked with a smile.
"I miss you." Peng Hui said seriously.
