Chapter 18 "The Man with Silk" Post-production
The day after signing the contract, Li Mingyang had an extra 350,000 yuan in his card, and Manager Qiao went to Yiwu Airport.
40% of 880,000 should be 352,000, which is 2,000 less. However, Zhang Wei paid off everyone’s pay on the day she took the material.
Inside and out, Li Mingyang also made more than 50,000 yuan more.
Li Mingyang did not proceed with post-production immediately.
Post-production is quite expensive...
Originally, he wanted to use Beijing Film Studio's professional editing room, recording studio, and cheap students for post-production at a very low price as a student.
I am in Hengdian, and post-production costs have soared!
He set his sights on Sugar Man.
Xiaobailou has a complete set of equipment and software for film and television post-production.
On the outskirts of Hengdian, the cast of Sword and Sword 3.
Li Mingyang and the four of them were eating lunch under the shade of a tree.
"Mingyang, you got more than 300,000 yuan, why are you still thinking about having sex for free." Zhang Ruoyun paused, "The sugar man is very stingy, he wants to use us like beasts! Let's go back to Yanbei! Bei I have someone who can lend it to you for free.”
“I don’t want to leave,” Xiao Yang said.
“I don’t want to go back to Yanbei. Sugar Man’s Hong Kong production team is really professional and can learn a lot.” Wu Zhikui said.
The filming of Sword and Sword 3 started for two days, but we didn’t shoot any scenes and did all the odd jobs.
Li Mingyang, Xiao Yang, and Wu Zhikui are very interested in the operation of Sugar Man's costume crew.
Zhang Ruoyun, who aspires to be an actor and is ready to grow old, has no interest in doing odd jobs.
Zhang Ruoyun sighed heavily when he saw the three of them not leaving. "Now is the hottest time. Look at the leading actors. They have assistants, fans, and arbors. We can only squat under the tree and sweat while sitting still."
"A calm mind will naturally cool down." Li Mingyang said.
"I can't calm down! I'm not the leading actor!"
Zhang Ruoyun wanted to run away, but if Li Mingyang didn't leave, he couldn't leave either.
After all, Li Mingyang gave him the opportunity to be the leading actor, so it would be too unloyal to run away now.
If The Man in Silk Suits becomes popular, the next sequel will depend on Li Mingyang.
Whether he will be popular in the future, and how popular he will be, all depends on Li Mingyang.
The filming has just started. The filming tasks for the crew of Sword and Sword 3 are not heavy, and they are mainly about running in.
Call off for the evening.
Li Mingyang, who had been tired for a day, did not find a chance to make eye contact with Liu Shishi.
The management of the Fairy Sword 3 crew is too strict, everyone has their own position and job.
As soon as the starring role ended, assistants immediately gathered around, held umbrellas and handed water, and escorted them to the pergola.
As a special guest actor, he had no chance to come into contact with Master Liu.
Li Mingyang did not give up and wanted to find another chance.
However, Cai Yinong informed him that he did not need to go to the set tomorrow and would write the script as soon as possible. When it came time for his role, he would be notified one day in advance.
“I just want to make a movie, why is it so difficult.”
Li Mingyang opened his laptop on his desk and looked at the configuration of Dayun’s computer. It was a computer from five years ago, and the configuration was a bit Low...
The next day, Zhang Ruoyun and three others went to work on the set.
Li Mingyang went out to buy a computer.
At this time, all computer stores are sinkholes!
The computer cities in each region are killing people without any blood.
So Li Mingyang did not plan to go to a physical store to buy a new computer. Instead, he found another way and went to a nearby film and television company to collect computers under the guise of collecting second-hand computers.
With his peach-blossom eyes, he attacks the opposite sex indiscriminately, and the female receptionist generally has little resistance to him.
I visited seven companies in the morning and did not receive a computer, but received the contact information of five female front desks.
In the afternoon, Li Mingyang came to Tianxiang Film and Television Company. He was lucky. This company went bankrupt and was selling office supplies.
There are more than twenty computers for sale, including two expensive HP laptops.
Li Mingyang is not planning to buy so many computers. Pretending to be someone who works nearby, I spent 4,500 to buy a very high-end Dell host, and another 6,000 to buy two 27-inch Dell monitors.
The Dell display is not a high-definition screen, has no narrow bezels, and does not have eye protection technology. It can be described as "simple" to the point of being amazing, but it is very expensive.
If it is not second-hand, this Dell display screen costs 7,000... more expensive than the host.
The boss doesn’t know much about computers and thinks that an old host can be sold at a high price, but a second-hand display screen is worthless...
It’s a big bargain.
After Li Mingyang bought the computer, he took a taxi back to his apartment, plugged in the computer cable, and connected two monitors, one vertical and one horizontal.
Download the software and install the editing software.
Li Mingyang copied the material of the man hanging from silk into the computer and started editing.
Being on guard against others is essential!
The materials in Dayun’s computer are also added. Whoever cuts them will have a headache, and Li Mingyang is no exception.
They kept busy until about eleven o'clock in the night, and the three of them came back happily.
“Did you go to Dazhi Street to play?” Li Mingyang said.
“No.” Zhang Ruoyun waved his hand.
"There are all fast food there. I know a place with good service and many things to do."
"Where is it?" Xiao Yang asked.
"The little money you have is not enough. I'll invite you to come when I finish the post-production of the man hanging on the silk."
As soon as the three of them heard this, they knew they had to work.
In this way, Zhang Ruoyun, Xiao Yang, and Wu Zhikui went to the studio to work as cows and horses during the day, and then came back to help Li Mingyang with post-production.
Getting thinner and sluggish day by day.
After half a month of work, the film of Man in Hanging Silk is finally completed.
In the past half month, Zhang Ruoyun and the other three were so shocked that Li Mingyang fell to the ground.
Li Mingyang can handle almost all aspects of post-production, and he can even write songs.
The theme song Men's Style is simply magical, catchy and very brainwashing.
The three of them agreed that the theme song alone can make a man fly.
……
7pm, Summit Apartments.
Li Mingyang, Zhang Ruoyun, Xiao Yang, and Wu Zhikui sat in a row and watched the first episode of The Man in Silk.
When Yang Mi appears.
Xiao Yang exclaimed: "Here, there is Yang Mi in this online drama!"
"Without Senior Yang Mi, just the few of us, how could Youku have paid so much?" One hundred and eighty thousand." Zhang Ruoyun said.
"Indeed..."
The last trump card in Li Mingyang's hand is Yang Mi.
Yang Mi only filmed for one day. In addition to the blind date and health care, she also filmed two stories.
Because it was taken during a sample shoot and was not within the contract period, Youku had nothing to do with it.
This is also one of the reasons why Youku finally compromised.
Although Fairy Sword III has not aired yet, Yang Mi has not yet become a big star.
But this does not mean that Yang Mi is not popular. She is very popular with the audience and the industry speaks highly of her.
Really ask her to film ten episodes...
Her salary alone is almost the same as that of all the actors combined.
So when she didn't want to take the photo, Li Mingyang didn't hold her back and swallowed the money.
The bank card deposit is more than 540,000.
So the entire production cost of the hanging silk man, including the money to buy a computer, is less than 350,000!
Perfect!
