Chapter 344 Don't Refuse the Icing on the Cake

Where is the real shooting that has a good visual effect?

That's why Yun Xiangxiang suggested that "Flying Apsaras" borrow the star of peace, props are props, no matter how well done it is, it is not real enough.

"Director Wei, may I take the liberty to ask?" Yun Xiangxiang said suddenly, "How much do you plan to raise?"

The shooting venue has to be so luxurious, it is impossible for other things not to match the venue, otherwise it will be uncoordinated.

But if it's all coordinated so that every detail leaves the audience dumbfounded, the funds...

"At least 200 million." Wei Shanwen said in a conservative tone.

Yun Xiangxiang was so frightened that he didn't know how to speak!

It's not that there are movies with hundreds of millions of investment, such as the previous "Wang Mou", but that's because Wu Zhao's filming is a majestic war scene, costumes and props are staged in groups, and the original soundtrack is recorded on the spot, which is very expensive.

There are also sci-fi blockbusters, which spend a lot of money on special effects; and military blockbusters, where weapons, helicopters, tanks and other props are a big expense.

Yun Xiangxiang had never heard of a modern movie with an investment of more than 200 million yuan. Wei Shanwen really dared to think about it.

Where did he go to convince so many investors to spend so much money for a modern movie.

Yun Xiangxiang was very optimistic about "Flying to the Branches", but what he was optimistic about was the content of this movie.

A movie with good content doesn't necessarily have to be a hit. Even if Yun Xiang wanted to lead the role, she couldn't guarantee that the movie would be a hit.

What about investors? Whose money is blown by the wind?

The "Nine Colors" she shot was still a drama of the Republic of China, and the props and scenes in it were already quite exquisite, and they were all only 50 million.

But 50 million yuan is quite a high investment for such a Republic of China drama.

One can imagine how terrible the investment of at least 200 million yuan in "Flying to the Branches" is.

"In terms of funding, it is between me and the producer. The only thing I have a headache now is the shooting location. If this is settled, I will be fine with the rest." Wei Shanwen is very confident about attracting sponsors.

"If you borrow a villa, how do you plan to calculate the funds?" He Wei asked.

"According to the market value, how much is the rent for a day, how many days we use it, and finally calculated into the total investment, and the profit is divided into shares." Wei Shanwen gave a very good condition.

It's just that unless the origin of this kind of villa is quite clean, most people dare not expose it, and it is quite difficult to borrow it.

"Range?" He Wei asked again.

"Our country certainly can't find such a scale, but since it's an actor from our own country, it's not easy to go to other continents." Wei Shanwen thought very clearly, meaning it needs to be in Asia.

Huaguo has a large population, and such construction does not fit the land planning. It is not that there is no money, but that there is no land.

The scale requested by Wei Shanwen can only be realized abroad, not even Xiangjiang, where rich people are everywhere.

Then they chatted for a long time about the script, mostly Yun Xiangxiang and Wei Shanwen were talking, He Wei would occasionally add his own opinion, and Song Meng was a spectator the whole time, listening carefully.

Yun Xiangxiang bet that she had never been so focused in class before. She obviously didn't understand a lot of things, but she was still very attentive. It seemed that she was determined to be in the entertainment industry.

At about ten o'clock in the evening, He Wei looked at his watch and proposed to send Yun Xiangxiang home.

Wei Shanwen didn't hold them back, but sent them out generously, and even met a reporter who followed them.

However, Yun Xiangxiang was not only accompanied by his manager, but also Song Meng, and the meeting place was so aboveboard, so there was nothing to report.

Someone still wrote an article and published it on the Internet: Yun Xiangxiang is suspected to be collaborating with a ghostly director soon.

This was a speculative report on Yun Xiangxiang's next work, and Yun Xiangxiang naturally ignored it.

The reason why Song Meng showed it to Yun Xiangxiang was because she reported it for the first time!

But this was the next day. That night Yun Xiangxiang was sent home by He Wei. When he got off the car, Yun Xiangxiang couldn't help it: "Brother Wei, are you looking for A Mian?"

"Why not?" He Wei asked back.

Yun Xiangxiang knew that the way He Wei looked at her just now was to hit Song Mian.

Before, He Wei thought that Song Mian was just a side branch of the Song family, but after what happened in Huadu, He Wei knew Song Mian's true identity.

Such a shooting location, reminiscent of Song Mian's luxurious villa in the city of gold, Yun Xiangxiang felt that Song Mian must have one.

"I hope I will tell him in person this time." Yun Xiang said.

He Wei was surprised: "I told him, it's business."

"Official affairs are also due to personal relationships." Yun Xiangxiang retorted, "Without personal relationships, there would be no official affairs."

Song Mian couldn't see this benefit at all. If there was no personal relationship between Yun Xiangxiang and him, let alone whether he agreed or not, they were afraid that they would be foolish if they wanted to get in touch with him and borrow the venue.

He would always help her before, but every time she realized it later, this time she didn't want to just enjoy the results.

Since she is willing to accept Song Mian's help, why can't she be ashamed to ask him to help?

"Okay, I'll leave it to you." He Wei nodded, said goodbye to the two of them, and drove away.

After entering the elevator, Song Meng said, "I thought you wouldn't let Brother Wei go to Song Mian."

In Song Meng's eyes, Yun Xiangxiang was a bit of a strong girl, and she was not allowed to bow her head to cater to others.

After learning that she had made a boyfriend like Song Mian who was far from her family background, Song Meng was curious that Yun Xiangxiang could accept it regardless of her self-esteem.

Later, seeing how considerate Song Mian was to Yun Xiangxiang, Song Meng guessed that maybe it was love that made Yun Xiangxiang ignore these things.

But ignoring does not mean non-existence, everyone has their own pride and persistence.

Yun Xiangxiang is not the kind of person who will take advantage of it, and it is even more impossible for others to say that her achievements are based on so-and-so...

"What are the elements of a movie's success?" Yun Xiangxiang asked her sideways.

"The actor's interpretation, the effect of the director's presentation, the quality of the plot..." Song Meng counted with her fingers.

After she finished counting, Yun Xiangxiang said, "So the success or failure of the movie has nothing to do with the shooting location."

A good shooting location can naturally add color, but without it, it is just a little less exciting.

"It doesn't have much influence..." Song Meng nodded, "Director Wei guessed that he was so persistent because he wanted the movie to be presented more perfectly."

"So his help to me is the icing on the cake. What can I do to ask him?" Yun Xiangxiang asked generously.

It's not that she begged Song Mian to let her get something for nothing, she didn't deny her efforts, and she didn't deny her hard work.

If she and Song Mian figured it out so clearly for some inexplicable sense of boring self-esteem, could they still be called lovers?
