Chapter 783 Using Self-Media Methods to Make Movies

After hearing what Han Sanping said, Xu Jia stretched out his hand and shook it, and the two parties walked into the preparation room.

At this time, Zhang Yimou had already talked to Wu Jing about the subsequent filming.

When he saw a few people coming in, his eyes lit up, and he obviously recognized them.

"You guys came just in time. I just told Wu Jing that the number of soldiers we need may be a bit high for this background. Because the filming task is tight and it has to be released before the National Day, it will take too long for the group performances to meet the standards. It is better to directly I have done a rehearsal to arrange for soldiers to participate in the performance, and the military performance may require more than 2,500 people in a single day," Zhang Yimou said.

For him, this is a small scene. When he was filming "Hero", it was spectacular. When he was filming a big production, it was a really big scene. In 2002, the audience watched the opening scene of "Hero" in the cinema, and the audience at home and abroad all watched it. shocked.

"Let's coordinate this with them. There shouldn't be any problem." The representatives from the Bayi Factory nodded. They came here just for this matter.

Otherwise, why would Xu Jia take a project that he knew was bound to explode and bring in another participant to get a share of the pie? In addition to wooing the other party and building a bridge between the two parties, valuing the Bayi Factory's capabilities in this regard was also a crucial factor.

"Well, we will be responsible for the salary and living expenses, and we will do so to the highest standards, so you can rest assured." Xu Jia continued.

Money is a small issue. When making a movie with this kind of background, the most important thing is to strive to improve the quality and capture the spirit.

"In addition, I suggest that the entire film be shot on location. This will give it a more textured feel, and it will be easier for me to achieve the desired standards for many of my lens ideas. But at this cost..." Zhang Yimou paused and looked at Xu Jia.

It would be a waste of money to do this. With so many people, horses and equipment outside, the cost of eating horses and chewing for one day would not be very low, not to mention that the entire film was shot on location.

It depends on whether Xu Jia, the employer, is willing to do it. After all, it will cost Jiaxing money.

"No problem, leave this to the people in the location department to explore. I also suggest that it can be made into a movie warm-up event, put it on the screenings, and let the official media and netizens from various places recommend themselves or recommend. You can put each scene A form is listed for everyone’s request so that everyone can check in. After all, it is also the era of self-media, and we can definitely keep pace with the times." Xu Jia said without any hesitation.

The most important thing for him now is money. Just plucking a piece of leg hair is enough for movie shooting.

What's more, if he really holds an event according to what he just said, the traffic and popularity he attracts can cover the cost in minutes.

For a moment, several people present were shocked by Xu Jia's plan.

They are all seniors in the film industry. Even Wu Jing is not young at all. They have no idea of ​​the concept of self-media that Xu Jia mentioned, so they didn't think about it in that regard.

Now that I heard Xu Jia's plan, I subconsciously felt that it was unreliable. At the same time, I thought about it carefully and found that it really works. They know how powerful the netizens are.

Especially after Douying became popular, even if he didn't have much contact with it, people around him would always have contact with it. This thing really penetrated into all aspects. There were so many enthusiastic netizens who helped them find scenes for their movies, it was definitely easy to get them.

Not to mention it can warm up the movie, saving a lot of publicity funds.

"Oh, that's a good idea. I'll do the same thing next time I make a movie. You young people have great brains. My team will have to recruit more young people in the future." Wu Jing said, rubbing her chin.

Lao Mouzi and Han Sanping also nodded, with expressions of being taught.

"Leave the event to our Jiaxing Hangcheng branch. They are mainly responsible for the self-media department, and then there is the preparation of large-scale costumes, props, and military equipment. The props team needs to think more about these. The solution may be that there are not enough people in one group. Anyone in the props department who has spare time in the company can be invited to help. In addition, clothing, props, military equipment, etc. can also use self-media to allow those capable manufacturers to proactively contact them. us."

"They need orders, and we happen to have the same need. If the two sides are connected, each can get what he wants. In addition, the design of battle tactics that exceeds 100 kilometers will require hard work. If you need any information and consultants, you can find this As a representative of Bayi Factory, they should be better at this part."

Xu Jia's expression became serious. Before this project was launched, he had not felt the tediousness and burden of the work. Only when he got involved did he realize that there were so many preparations waiting for them to do. That is to say, Lao Mouzi's ability was amazing. In addition, Shangjiaxing’s team is mature enough.

Otherwise, it is sheer fantasy to catch up with the National Day schedule. Even so, the challenge is not small for them.

"Secondly, dozens of tanks will be used in the movie. If you want to restore the real tank impact effect, you must re-manufacture it according to the appearance of the old tanks. For this part, we will also contact relevant manufacturers with this qualification. After filming, we can When combined into our company’s prop library, it can be considered a long-term investment.”

"In addition, some group performances require long-term participation in the group. Being a soldier is not suitable for long-term secondment. Contact retired soldiers, armed police, and fire fighters to see if they can perform, which will also save training time." Xu Jia said.

To put it bluntly, it's just exchanging money for time. After all, the cost of recruiting these people must be higher than ordinary group performances, and props such as old tanks are also quite expensive. Xu Jia is just comforting himself by saying that it is a long-term investment.

In fact, it may save money to go directly to Maozi to buy a real tank instead of remanufacturing it, but for the sake of quality, this money really cannot be saved.

"Our Bayi studio is definitely not good at the self-media part, so let's leave it to you Jiaxing. As for other things, such as tactical battle design and related materials, we can help, including our studio's props. Employees can also participate." The representative of Bayi Factory followed.

There was a hint of excitement in his words. According to Xu Jia, this movie was obviously aiming to go down in history. Even when they were at their peak, they didn't have such a shooting method. They really spent money like water.

Facing such a wealthy partner, he inevitably felt a little lacking in confidence, so he could only try his best to regain some self-esteem from other aspects.

"Sure, I can rest assured that I'll leave it to you. Then when all preparations are completed, let's officially start shooting the movie. This period of time has been hard for everyone, especially Director Zhang. You are more stressed than any of us. Big, you must pay attention to your health." Xu Jia looked at Zhang Yimou and warned.

With such a simple meeting, at least the preliminary preparations can be carried out quickly.

Xu Jia paused for a moment, then said with a serious expression: "What we are filming this time are real heroes. All the people in our project, from the leading actors to the supporting cast, or the staff, if we find that anyone is interested in If we don’t agree with this spirit, we will kick them out directly without any room for negotiation.”

Everyone present was slightly startled, and then nodded heavily. When they looked at Xu Jia again, there was something faintly in their eyes.

Han Sanping's eyes were slightly red.

This is the future.
