Chapter 404 A Lot of Money

Li Qian lost a lot of weight.

Seeing his son again after more than half a year was the first feeling of Li's father and Li's mother.

Li's mother was so distressed that her eyes were full of tears.

This is Li Qian after sleeping in a hotel in Chengdu Mansion for a whole day, Li Qian after shaving and tidying up carefully.

"I'm thinner and darker." Li's mother kept turning her head to look at the living room while she was packing the dishes, muttering, "You said it's good to write songs well, what kind of TV series are you filming? Tired yourself Like this?"

Li Qian explained a few words with a smile, Li Ma was still relentless, with a kitchen knife in her hand, she walked to the door of the kitchen, and said: "No one persuades you? If you don't listen to mother, you can Don't listen to them?"

Li Qian chuckled, and said solemnly: "I listen to my mother, not my wife."

Li Ma gave him a white look, and pointed at him with a kitchen knife, "That's the only mouth you have!"

At this time, Father Li had already smoked the cigarette his son handed him, and spewed out a puff of white smoke, which was extremely moisturising. Although he felt sorry for his son, the height of his life was not comparable to that of Li's mother who only knew how to love her son. I waved my hand when I was young, "Why are you so talkative, you are young, willing to do something, regardless of success or failure, that's right! What's the point of being tired? All right, stop talking, hurry up and make a meal, son They're all hungry!"

Mama Li sighed, turned and went back to the kitchen.

Father Li raised Erlang's legs and asked, "This time, it's been more than three months?"

Li Qian nodded, "Well, counting from the official launch, it will take about three and a half months, or a hundred days! If I start to gather people to prepare, it will take a little longer."

Father Li smoked a cigarette, nodded, and said as if asking casually: "Your mother called Teacher Qi and she wanted to call you. I told you not to call, so as not to interfere with my son's work, so she secretly called her." According to your Teacher Qi, this movie cost a lot of money?"

Li Qian smiled and said: "Fortunately, it is still within the budget. Up to now, the cost has been less than 18 million. Next, I will do the soundtrack myself. I will find those in the company. Once people do it, it will be fine, but there is still a big boss, who is more expensive, that is, special effects production."

After a pause, he explained in detail, "I have a little higher requirements for this area, and I hope that the pictures can be made so that they are not so fake. Therefore, I am not satisfied with our domestic personnel and equipment, but There is no way, we can neither buy technology nor recruit people, so we can only use money to study and upgrade equipment by ourselves, and study slowly."

"But fortunately, in terms of computers in China, the technical background is actually not much worse than that of foreign countries. Try to work hard, and dare not say catch up. At least the gap will not be so big that people can see it at a glance."

Dad Li was very confused when he heard that it was "special effects production" and "computer". How much do you spend?"

Li Qian nodded, "Well, in August, before the filming started, I had contacted several small and medium-sized picture processing studios and companies in Shuntian Prefecture, and planned to invest a sum of money to give their studios to Acquisition, and then spend some money to upgrade the equipment, er... Fortunately, we don’t pay much attention to this in our country now. If you have money, you can directly send it to Japan or the United States for post-production special effects. If you don’t have money, just write a script. Therefore, the country has not developed in these years, and they are not so expensive!"

Father Li said "Oh" again, but still couldn't hold back, and asked again: "If you buy it... how much will it cost?"

Li Qian finally realized that something was wrong. After thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth, "The money spent on acquisitions is limited, but a large number of people, equipment, and research on new equipment require a lot of investment. For this matter , I plan to take out..." He stretched out two fingers.

Father Li blinked his eyes, and wanted to shout two million, but after thinking about it, he felt wrong, so he widened his eyes, "Twenty million?"

Li Qian nodded.

Mama Li came out of the kitchen, holding a half-grilled green onion in her hand, "How much? Why is it 20 million again? What did you spend?"

Father Li blinked his eyes, but he didn't want to cover up for Li Qian, so he asked: "Then your play will cost a total of 40 million yuan?"

Li Qian looked at Father Li, then turned his head to look at Mother Li, thought for a while, and said, "It will cost so much, but the 20 million invested in the later period is not a one-off deal, it can be used for a long time in the future. Accumulated, it will even be a way to make money in the future.”

Father Li finally said "Oh" and said, "I'll just say it!" He looked up at Mama Li, gave Li Ma a wink, and then said, "Hurry up and cook, I'm chatting with my son, you What are you mixing up!"

Li Ma gave him a blank look when she heard the words, and turned her head back to the kitchen helplessly.

Here, Dad Li said to Li Qian: "Then what, your mother asked, and your teacher Qi couldn't help but say no? So, when your mother and I heard that you invested 40 million, we felt a little... You know, Me and your mother, we are all used to being poor, right? Let’s think about it, we have money, but we can’t spend everything, right? People have said before, it’s not easy to conquer the world, keep it The world is even more difficult! Not only must we be able to earn it, but we must also be able to hold it, Qianer, what do you think?"

Li Qian smiled, patted Dad Li's knee, and said, "Dad, it's too early to say that. I haven't earned enough yet. I invested this money to earn more money!"

Father Li nodded repeatedly when he heard the words "um" and "um", but there was no surprise on his face. After a while, he looked at his son and asked, "What if... I get paid?"

…………

After the overall situation was completed, the production team spent a day in Chengdu Mansion to recuperate, eating and drinking. Then, the actors left the group one after another, and the staff also bid farewell to each other. Some of them were spotted by Jin Han and Li Qian. After some in-depth discussions, they decided to join Minghu Culture and receive a fixed salary that was not too much but enough to support their families. There are also some people, it is very likely that they will not meet until the next cooperation.

The wrap-up banquet was over, and Li Qian finally got a good night's sleep before washing his face and shaving, tidying himself up from top to bottom, leaving Han Shunzhang the task of the final evacuation of the crew, while he himself Air ticket, flew directly back to Jinan Prefecture.

However, even if he goes home, he can't live here forever.

He came over in the morning, stayed at home for an afternoon, and ate two meals. After dinner, after eleven o'clock, he had already boarded the train to Shuntian Mansion.

…………

After the filming was over, the crew disbanded, and everything seemed to return to normal soon.

According to the rules of Shuncheon Film Academy, third-year students are not allowed to take long vacations, but Li Qian personally went to the old principal, and the old principal gave special treatment to Li Qian for three months. From September, Until the end of November, and now that the filming is over, after returning to Shuntian Mansion, Li Qian of course hurried back to sell his leave, and continued to lie down in school honestly, becoming a good student.

Sun Yuting, Feng Bin and others who came back at the same time, despite Li Qian's endorsement, did not ask for leave beforehand, so they were severely criticized by the school in the end. For those who participated in Li Qian's crew, Sun Yuting , Liu Xueyi, Lu Bin, Fu Xuelong, Song Yupin, Xue Changlong, each took a demerit.

Of course, the filming stage is over. For a film, it is only half of the workload. As a director, Li Qian still has a lot to do, but the next thing can be urgent. Therefore, in addition to returning to school immediately to start class, whenever there is no class, he will go to Minghu Culture and start editing later with Liu Liuqing, the editor recommended by Yu Bojun.

At the same time, there are dozens of episodes from Li Qian. Of course, as a master of the sweet song genre in China, He Runqing, who is extremely good at singing sweetly, has naturally become the white singer in the play. An aria substitute for the lady Bai Suzhen.

As for Xu Xian, Li Qian originally planned to ask Zhao Yuan to sing, but after a little trial, he found that his voice is fine for singing, but it seems a bit hard to sing the Huangmei tune style things in TV dramas. And this kind of toughness is not a matter of skill, it is actually brought out by northerners from their childhood vocalizations, involving breathing, articulation, etc. Anyway, it doesn't feel good to Li Qian.

Although these things can be changed by inviting someone to come and train them, Li Qian thinks that it may not be a good thing if they are really changed, because a large part of Zhao Yuan's unique smell when singing comes from him. A unique breathing and pronunciation habit of the northerners.

Fortunately, at the end of October, the company just signed a new singer named Wang Nanhao. Not only is he a very talented singer-songwriter, but his voice is also very niche.

After a little trial, Li Qian made a final decision, and he will be in charge of singing for Xu Xian in the play.

As for the other arias... as long as the white lady and Xu Xian are dealt with, it will be much easier for others.

For example, the ending song "Crossing Love" is when Bai Suzhen takes Xiaoqing to find out whether Xu Xian is her benefactor in her previous life. Li Qian denies the duet between Xiaoqing and the boatman in the rain on the West Lake. After listening to Ge Rilen, he took Cao Zhan to sing about the boatman. After trying it out, his broken voice was actually quite right, while Xiaoqing's singing was recorded by Xie Bing, who had a sweeter voice.

Therefore, the advantage of owning a record company is undoubtedly highlighted at this time, plus the theme song "Waiting for a Thousand Years", which is definitely going to be won by He Runqing, everything in such a large and long TV series that is almost an opera The theme song, ending song and interlude were all done so easily.
