For the next two days, Lu Hao was busy following the procedures.
Film project establishment, investment, and contract signing all require filing and approval from the Film Association.
The process in this world is relatively simple, but the intensity is very strict. Funds must be deposited into a dedicated regulatory account, and the guild may conduct random inspections at any time.
Mainly for anti-money laundering purposes.
This was exactly what Lu Hao wanted.
It saves trouble.
Although Chu Wen was irritable, she was really short of money. She still had some connections and power in the film industry, and a small crew was quickly formed.
There are less than ten people in total, and although it is small, it has everything.
For a movie with a million-dollar investment and a thirteen-minute set, this number of people is completely sufficient.
"Boss, I have some good news for you."
Chu Wen from Lazi called Lu Hao immediately.
"explain."
"Well... I've gathered the people. It's a little short, but it's enough. I checked the budget again and it can save you around 200,000. How's that? You'll be able to get by, right?"
Chu Wen reported happily.
In her heart, she already regarded Lu Hao as a friend, and thought that the more she could save, the better.
Save some money, maybe you can invest in your next movie.
What?
Lu Hao scratched his head.
He made the budget based on a crew of 20 people. Now that 10 positions have suddenly become vacant, won't the money be left unspent?
Are you kidding me?
Lu Hao clearly remembered that there was a note in the system task.
All mission funds must be spent!
If there is any surplus, the last system reward you can get will be deducted!
In other words, if I could have gotten one million for completing the task, but if there was a surplus of 200,000, I could only get 800,000!
"You're messing around!"
"Who asked you to save money for me! Do I want you?"
"Spend it all, the one million must be spent!"
The voice on the phone suddenly became louder.
Chu Wen: ???
What's going on?
She was completely confused.
Although I have talked with Lu Hao a lot, this is the first time I have seen Lu Hao like this.
Is this the true style of the rich?
"Well, there's really no room to spend the budget. The people I hired are all paid at the highest salary, the equipment is also top-notch, and the sets, props, and everything are all under contract."
Chu Wen said weakly.
"Then add some food!"
"Upgrade all the rooms to five-star, and prepare the working meals to the highest standards. As for the wrap-up banquet, we can also increase the budget for the banquet. If that doesn't work, replace the wine with the most expensive one."
"I only have one request, not a single cent left!"
Lu Hao said domineeringly.
It’s system funds anyway, so I don’t feel bad about squandering it.
"Boss, please don't. It hurts my heart. Two hundred thousand is enough to shoot another half of the movie."
"Look at you, you're so ignorant. Stop talking nonsense and do it!"
Hang up the phone.
Lu Hao let out a long sigh.
Chu Wen on the other end of the phone couldn't calm down for a long time.
What kind of investor is this?
You know what, it feels kind of good for some reason.
Who doesn’t know how to spend money?
Rich dog owner!
…
…
One day later.
The opening ceremony was officially held at Xijiao Film and Television City.
Lu Hao couldn't help but feel excited.
I have filmed so many dramas, but I have never attended an opening ceremony as the leading actor. I looked at the big pig head on the altar and took a deep breath.
Burn incense.
Someone brought a bushel of barley and sprinkled it like rain.
“It’s a huge hit at the box office!”
Raise your fist and shout.
This is the rule of the underworld.
Damn pun.
Chu Wen also waved her fists weakly. No matter how rebellious she was, she still had to pretend to shout at this time.
Seeing their actions, Lu Hao smiled.
Didn't say much.
At this time, I say I don’t want to make money? Just for the sake of sentiment?
That's stupid.
Shake the morale of the army.
Feelings, ideals, etc., cannot be shouted out, they must be kept in the heart.
The filming process of "The Blind Tuner" was very simple, and the plot was not complicated. It was mainly the set design that required more thought.
In fact, this is where the bulk of the money is spent.
The set took up half of the budget, nearly 300,000 yuan.
Labor expenses are three hundred thousand.
The director gets 50,000, the screenwriter gets 30,000, the leading actor gets 20,000, and the rest is divided among the others.
One million system funds were finally obtained through legal channels.
Although it's only 50,000 yuan and I have to pay taxes, it's real money after all.
This is the maximum amount that the system allows the "amateur" Lu Hao to earn in this mission.
For Lu Hao now, fifty thousand yuan is already a huge sum of money.
At least dozens of films are being planned and filmed at Xijiao Film and Television City every day, and sometimes you have to queue up to rent special venues.
The sound engineer crew is like a gurgling river, pouring into this unfathomable ocean without causing any ripples.
However, for the other members of this micro-crew, there were turbulent waves in their hearts.
To be honest, it wasn't so smooth when Chu Wen first went to look for someone.
The main problem is that the director, although talented, has a really bad temper. Moreover, with such a small investment, the leading actor is an amateur, and he seems unreliable no matter how you look at it.
Anyone who cares about their career would not take this job.
Unless you are really short of money.
But, as filming began...
Lu Hao's performance surprised everyone.
Any scene involving him was done in one take, without the director ever calling "cut". Whether it was the movement, the camera, the lines, or the emotions, they were all impeccable, better than any best actor.
