Song Bo nodded. He never expected that everyone would have such high expectations for military-themed works.
In fact, he has always considered the success of a TV series from the perspective of a producer and developer.
He never thought about what the audience wanted to see.
Song Bo said guiltily: "It's true that I was negligent. Let's see how the actors choose the right actors?"
Chen Fan felt that it was inconvenient for him to come forward directly.
He decided to record a video in the name of the base.
Let the soldiers participate and highlight Chen Fan's purpose.
After Chen Fan shared his thoughts with Fan Tianlei, he got Fan Tianlei's support.
After communicating with the chiefs, the chiefs directly said: "We believe in all the decisions made by Chen Fan, and we want Chen Fan to participate with full authority."
In other words, Chen Fan has the right to decide on this matter.
So Chen Fan found a few students and recorded a promotional video for the audition.
Li Erniu was the first to appear on stage, and Li Erniu was still a bit jerky in front of the camera.
He said to the camera naively: "I just want to watch a good military-themed work, but this time, I am very fortunate to be able to participate. I don't know how to speak or act, but I will express myself Experienced real army life."
After that was He Chenguang, who said on behalf of Chen Fan: "I know many people don't have expectations for our theme, but we will use the most authoritative and professional attitude to give back to you and let you see what is real reality."
After that came the female students, He Lu said: "Who says women are inferior to men, we are all elites."
The video interspersed with a scene of female students practicing shooting and daily training.
The last one to appear was Song Bo. This time, Song Bo was not as arrogant as before, but his attitude was more sincere, and his eyes were more sincere.
"Hi everyone, I'm Song Bo. This work is our cooperation with the army, with many soldiers helping out, expressing the most authoritative military images and the most realistic fighting scenes for us. Therefore, I hope you can share with the soldiers. Eat and live together, and train together. You don’t need to be famous, you just need to have acting skills and determination.”
The last sentence is a voice-over, and the screen shows soldiers flying planes and tanks.
The voice-over voice is low and charming: "If you are willing to believe us, in half a year, I will let you know what a real soldier is."
Subsequently, Chen Fan posted the two videos to retired military websites and actor recruitment websites.
In the first few hours, very few people paid attention.
Song Bo said with some concern: "Do you think everyone will read this and think it's too harsh, so they won't come at all?"
Chen Fan shook his head and said, "Don't worry, it's never too late for a good meal."
Chen Fan saw Song Bo anxiously wandering around the room, he walked up to him and said, "Let's go outside, I want to talk to you about your construction of the film and television base."
Speaking of this, Song Bo suddenly thought that this was another important point he wanted to tell Chen Fan: "By the way, I just wanted to ask you, our film and television base has already designed several plans, you can see which one is more suitable a little."
Then he turned on the computer and found several plans designed according to the previous script.
Chen Fan glanced at it hastily: "From the outside, the building complex to be designed requires at least a hundred buildings. The amount of work is huge, and the capital cost can be imagined."
As an experienced person, Song Bo said: "Actually, we usually only design a frame, whether it is kidnappers or special forces, they will only stay in a few building groups, so we only need to design an outline for most of the buildings, and only refine them." A few buildings will do."
Chen Fan felt that maybe this was the best way for them.
On the one hand, the quality of the framing is guaranteed, and the original lens is used to the greatest extent, rather than post-production restoration.
Chen Fan nodded: "Have you chosen the location yet?"
Speaking of this, Song Bo was a little hesitant: "Actually, we chose a region in China before, but the situation is that the lease time is limited. If we want to shoot for six months, we have to pay six months' rent, but six months Once the month is up, the building needs to be demolished right away.”
This seems to be the case across the country.
They're just renting out locations for filming.
But Chen Fan felt that this was a waste of resources. He felt that these houses could be of greater value.
Chen Fan said, "Have you ever thought about filming abroad?"
Song Bo thought about it for a while, and said truthfully: "Actually, I have thought about it, but the cost is about [-]% higher than in China. After all, half of the crew has to go there."
But Chen Fan said: "I have an idea. I went on a mission to a city that has been ravaged by war all year round. Although this country has been relatively peaceful in recent years, the refugees in that country have worked harder than we imagined. We May as well help them and reach a win-win cooperation with them.”
Song Bo found this idea very novel and asked, "What kind of cooperation?"
Chen Fan found this small country on the map, and explained to Song Bo: "This country has a small land area, is surrounded by the sea, and has relatively developed transportation. The only way to fight has suffered many unreasonable disasters."
In the plundering war of the capitalists, these small countries will always be victims.
Chen Fan continued: "I have met with a congressman in this country, I think we can negotiate with them, hire local disaster victims as labor at a low price, and tell them that after the filming ends, the house they built will be theirs. In this way, they will definitely participate in the construction more carefully, and they can also get paid to solve the current problem of food and clothing.”
This proposal made Song Bo's eyes shine. He said: "If I remember correctly, the price of goods in this country is quite low, especially due to the impact of the war, many of their building materials cannot be exported. If we buy now, the price will be lower than that in China. More than half!"
Calculated in this way, from the cost of building a film and television base to labor costs, it is more than 75% lower than domestic ones!
The money from the termination of the contract was just enough to balance with the money their crew spent on filming.
At this time, Song Bo completely forgot that he was speechless by Chen Fan before, but said excitedly: "Chen Fan, your idea is really wonderful."
Because according to the setting on the script.
Originally, these people were required to go abroad to perform missions and to have some exchanges with local residents.
They felt that the scene of this play was not easy to restore, after all, there are still differences at home and abroad.
