Disaster Artist

"Director, do you believe it? Actually, I'm not a smart person."

Lu Qian was stunned for a moment by Renault's words, then smiled and nodded lightly, "I believe it."

Reno was also stunned by Lu Qian's words, stunned for a moment, but still laughed happily, "I knew the director was not a normal person."

Why does this sentence sound like a curse?

Renault's words did not stop, and once again showed his true character.

"Director, I have a little bit of cleverness, but no great wisdom."

"Before, I always believed in my own little cleverness, I thought I could take shortcuts, I thought I could break the rules, I thought I could see loopholes that others didn't know."

"Indeed, I've had some success."

"However, after staying in the slap-sized circle of Lanchuan for a long time, I realized that my little cleverness will never make it to the stage or become a big deal."

"I thought I was taking shortcuts but these choices ruined my chances of real success, like selling my soul and making a deal with the devil."

"If it was before, as you said, I've been waiting for twelve years, and if I wait another month or two, there's no difference at all. From my clever point of view, I should just wait at home and wait for this event. When the storm passes, look at the wind direction, see if the director has fallen, and don't stand in line easily."

Renault, spread his hands, with a calm smile on his face, even when he was attacking himself, he was not sad at all.

Suddenly, the images of Reynolds and Deadpool overlapped.

"This time, I don't want that."

"More precisely, the 'Deadpool' work, I don't want that."

"'Deadpool' is the only thing I've really stuck with over the years, because I believe it can be a great work and because Deadpool is worth it."

"I don't want Clever to ruin the future of this work, it's been waiting too long."

"I believe, no, I should know, I know that the director is the perfect choice for this work, and no one is more suitable for directing the barrel than the director."

"I have to take my chances."

"To be honest, I'm quietly a little bit happy about what's going on recently, because the director is in a bad situation right now, and the whole situation is not very clear, coupled with the attitudes of Streamer Films and Magic Films, this also means that at this moment dare to dare There should not be many projects close to the director."

"I think I should be able to get a little bit of an upper hand."

Such a cut-in perspective is also... unique.

"Haha." Lu Qian was not angry, not only was he not angry, but he couldn't help laughing, and laughed happily directly.

Reno laughed dryly twice, scratched his head, and seemed a little restrained, but his words still didn't stop, "So, am I worried about being on the wrong team? No, I'm not worried, because for the role of Deadpool, the director is right. I know I made the right choice."

It's all about the movie and just about the movie.

On Renault's body, Lu Qian saw a fresh, beating heart.

Lu Qian raised his jaw slightly, with a shallow smile in his eyes, "What about Lions Pictures? Do they have the same idea as you?"

"Of course." Renault's answer was firm, and even a little impatient to express his determination, "If we can invite the director, we will have a party to celebrate."

This also made Lu Qian let out a soft laugh again.

Renault could clearly feel the positive signals emanating from Lu Qian, and immediately struck while the iron was hot, continuing to speak.

"Director, as long as you want, you can be the producer of the film, from script to casting, to post-production and editing, all aspects of the work are under your control, and there is no problem with Lion Films. "

"The only requirement is that I must be the male lead, and there is no room for negotiation on this matter."

After finishing speaking, Renault laughed twice, revealing neat white teeth, and showed a flattering expression to Lu Qian.

"Haha." Lu Qian really clapped his hands and laughed—

Obviously, Renault should be recalling the "lover", and he didn't want to repeat the mistakes of Dong Ruixi.

I have to say that today's meeting and conversation was indeed very interesting.

There was always a smile in Lu Qian's eyes, "I have a question."

"You say what you say." Renault was very proactive, and his whole body couldn't help leaning forward a little to express his cooperation.

"How much is the production cost budget?"

"...Director, you have seized my lifeline."

Renault's expression was a little embarrassed, and he did not hide his embarrassment.

Lu Qian shrugged lightly, "That's why I'm the director."

For ordinary audiences, they must be very curious, what is the cost of film production?

The production cost of some films is as high as 1.5 billion yuan, but the production cost of some films is only 500,000 yuan; even if it is an independent production of the same small cost, some films cannot be stopped at 3 million to 5 million yuan. car.

First of all, a very simple and very intuitive question, computer special effects, drag racing and blasting, the more magnificent the scene, the greater the consumption cost.

Secondly, venue rental, whether it’s shooting a rental studio in a studio, or shooting a flight around the world on the spot, just travel expenses and venue costs are a big deal. It is precisely because of this that the larger the crew, the longer the shooting cycle, the more the cost also higher.

Third, the crew members, except for the director, actors, screenwriters and other core members, photographers, lighting engineers, set designers, sound engineers, soundtrack engineers, etc. are all the same, the more top professionals are, the more expensive it is.

Finally, extras, although the cost of a single actor is not high, it adds up.

The above content does not involve the director's personal cost control for the time being.

For some directors, a scene is shot ten or eight times over and over again, wasting film, wasting time, wasting space, and requiring rework.

Some directors are careful and careful, and shooting a scene often requires careful planning~www.readwn.com~ Different angles, different contents, and different pictures are all shot together.

Don't underestimate these differences, the same type of film, in the hands of different directors, the cost difference may reach ten times, or even more. Some directors can shoot 100 million effects with 1 million; some directors spend 100 million but can only produce 1 million effects.

This is also an important reason why Lu Qianlan Lanchuan has won so much attention, because he can always spend the cost budget on the edge.

Not to mention the director, just talking about the crew itself, the production cost is a very complex and huge system, and the willingness to spend money is still different after all.

It can be said that, without deducting the director factor, you get what you get for every penny, and works that cost 100 million yuan are different from those that cost 1 billion yuan.

For superhero movies, this is even more the case. After all, "texture" still needs to be reflected through cost, which is also a crucial issue.

But the problem facing "Deadpool" is, how much does it cost to make?

Renault was a little embarrassed, but he also knew that since Lu Qian was concerned about the production cost, it also showed that Lu Qian had already expressed interest.

Therefore, Renault still said the truth, "Three hundred million, director, three hundred million."
