It seems that the local departments have learned a lot from this gap. Although this gap is not their fault, they have every reason to gain this wisdom.

"There's nothing we can do about it. That ancient house is indeed the most suitable for our shooting requirements. Shooting is about to start now, and we don't have time to look for other places."

"We are now under the control of others and there is no good way."

"In this way, we have suffered a hidden loss, but now we make rectifications according to their requirements. We will build wherever they allow us to build, and we will make changes wherever they need to be demolished."

Right, fully comply with their requests, this can't be wrong.

There's no way they can still find trouble.

Lao Li was very embarrassed, giving in like this? This was not Lao Zhang's style, so he continued to ask: "Is that all?"

"We have invested a lot in the early stage. If we make all the rectifications as they say now, all that money will be wasted."

This is what Lao Li is most worried about.

In fact, time and face are all trivial matters. I spent a lot of money but couldn't use it. Now I have to re-build the scene, which is another repeated expense.

The expenses here are not simply one hundred thousand or two hundred thousand, but millions, or even more.

How to explain to investors?

What's more, the crew is now under the control of others. If investors don't give money, at least they won't approve additional money, how can they use the money to build new scenes?

money!

money!

Or money!

In the final analysis, all difficulties come down to this one word.

You see, the difficulties imposed by the local departments can be overcome. After all, they did not say not to borrow ancient houses, nor did they say they would not allow any construction. They just need to meet their requirements.

These can be changed, and time can also be freed up. Lao Zhang can catch up when he can take pictures, and be faster.

In addition, you can also adjust the order of shooting. Whichever side is set up can be photographed first. There is no problem at all.

Only with this money, can Lao Zhang still supplement it by himself?

Of course not, and there is no such rule. Of course, if he can bear it, this will of course be a great thing for Lao Li.

However, if you think about it, you will know, how could Lao Zhang give money?

So what?

Should we let Lao Li pay for it?

This is a bit unkind. He is an executive producer and not a formal producer. In the final analysis, he is just working for Lao Zhang and the producer.

There is not much difference from the other cast members.

But who is the producer?

In an instant, an idea suddenly flashed through Lao Li's mind: their movie also had a producer!

After this movie is made, who owns the copyright?

Who does all the proceeds belong to?

Logically speaking, of course you are the investor, so since the benefits belong to you, the risks should naturally be borne by you.

"Old Zhang, the producer of our movie is no longer Xiao Zhang. Don't you know the new one very well?"

"Otherwise, talk to him?"

New producer?

yes!

Why did you forget this important person?

"All right!"

"You are keeping an eye on the scene, and you must do your job well. You are not afraid of making certain sacrifices. You are also an experienced person, and you can handle these things well."

If it can be handled, it can be handled. After all, even if the budget is overrun now, it is only in the early stages, and the crew still has a lot of funds.

It can fully support the current construction work. Generally speaking, even if a movie seriously overruns the budget, this problem will not be exposed in the early stage.

After all, the crew had sufficient funds at that time, and usually in the middle and later stages, various problems would arise one after another.

Investors are gradually unable to hide it, and additional investment is often a required operation.

If you don’t continue to invest money, what will happen?

If it does not continue, it means that the film will not be profitable. If it cannot make money, then the previous investment will be in vain and you will not be able to get back a penny.

So we can only continue to gamble, continue to invest, and then strive to achieve better results in the subsequent release stage in the hope of making up for the losses.

This is of course very risky, but for the expected benefits, this risk has to be taken, there is no other way.

Otherwise, you will have to watch your investment go down the drain. Can you bear this?

Of course you can't bear it, so you can only be trapped.

Therefore, in fact, those who can participate in film investment, and can also participate in large-scale film investment, are all invisible good people.

Although it is said that no one is a businessman or a traitor, and everyone hopes to make money before doing this, but before making money, film investors also need to take a lot of risks.

There are even cases where the company was so cooperative that it gave the crew money as soon as it was offered to them, which brought down their own company!

Therefore, whether this matter is considered a major event or not is up to the investors.

So this investor...

Of course it is Ms. Ranmasanti, and she, as Lao Zhang’s new partner, became the sole producer of the new movie.

This is a very heavy burden. After all, although Ramashanti is very capable, this is the first time she has officially set foot in the domestic entertainment film industry.

She is not that familiar with the market here. In the previous movies, she only focused on investment and did not care about the specific operations, so this problem has not been exposed.

But this time, as a highly qualified investor and major financier, Ms. Lan has never appeared on the set so far.

First, as a prospective in-law, Ms. Lan trusts Lao Zhang very much. She believes in the professionalism of Lao Zhang and his team.

In addition, he is really incapable of doing anything else. Moreover, since the scale of her company has expanded infinitely, she rarely worries about those specific matters and only focuses on demonstrating the feasibility of the project and making reasonable investments.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Specific operations are handled by corresponding executive producers.

When it comes to Lao Zhang’s movie, it’s naturally Lao Li’s job.

However, Lao Li can only be responsible for the specific implementation. When it comes to paying for it, he has to ask Ms. Lan for help.

Now it seems that this matter can no longer be hidden.

After all, rebuilding the facilities is a huge expense. This movie is a huge production and investment that can be seen by the naked eye, and the investment in the future will definitely not be small.

The possibility of saving money is almost non-existent, and there is no need to take chances.

So, even though we are not at the end of our rope yet, we should still say hello to investors in advance.

Not out of benevolence or rules, but because we still need to count on her follow-up investment. If she doesn't report it in time, where will the subsequent investment come from?

It can’t be a major change project!

Lao Zhang grabbed the phone and was very hesitant.

He finally remembered the big financier of the new movie!

correct!

It has been replaced now!

Became Ms. Lan!

It’s no wonder that Lao Li is a little constrained and has never been embarrassed to mention this matter to him. Lao Zhang has a weird temper and is stubborn. He also has a little bit of the neurotic bad temper that is unique to people who engage in art.

All in all, he is very proud of his talents and doesn't care much about money and other mundane things. If you ask him, he won't care.

However, this matter was easy to handle in the past.

Old Zhang doesn’t care, there is Xiao Zhang!

At that time, Xiao Zhang was very focused and conscientious on Lao Zhang's movies from beginning to end.

With a highly cooperative investor like Xiao Zhang, Lao Li's pressure as an executive producer has been reduced a lot.

But now, Xiao Zhang is gone and Xiao Lan is here. Although they had met once before, Lao Li knew that Ms. Lan supported Lao Zhang's new movie purely because of their personal relationship.

For example, if you want money, you have to let Lao Zhang do it.

He, Lao Li, is no good, he doesn't have the face.

However, Lao Li is not good at it, and neither is Lao Zhang!

Why did Ranmasanti call suddenly today?

Was it really unintentional?

impossible!

Although Ramashanti didn't say it clearly on the phone, the meaning was still very clear, and she already knew the details of the matter in detail.
