Chapter 327: Doraemon

Saving money is also a science!
Pengda is currently launching many projects. Considering the difference between animated works and live-action dramas, let’s ignore "Transformers" for now.
The 55-minute "Jack Prequel" costs about 8.5 million. There are no real people in the show, it's all a chaos in a leather case.
It is estimated that 50 million episodes of "Metal Hero Gaban" will cost 50 million in the early stage. After the white warehouse was destroyed, another 20 million yuan was issued. Because the filming is not finished yet, the possibility of follow-up shots is as high as 99.9%!
"Kamen Rider X", which is currently on the air, has been filmed for two seasons and cost nearly 100 million. There will be two subsequent seasons of planning, the full version is expected to consume about 180 million.
These are all big money burners!
To put it harder, if there is no blood supply from the "toy" industry, even if Pengda does not build a paradise, it will only be "bankrupt".
This isn't even the animation department!
The production of "Transformers: The Leader's Proof" takes into account the domestic 3D animation environment and current situation. For this part of the cost, I am afraid that "100 million" must be used as the unit of measurement.
Within Pengda, this issue has long been discussed. Film and television companies are spending more and more, is there a possibility of "waste"?
This is definitely there!
Pengda started late and developed rapidly, and lacks the mature experience of many peers. Sometimes people spend two million to do the same thing, but Pengda spends five or even ten million to do it.
In this regard, Meng Zi feels very distressed.
Can you learn from Aunt Dong?
It's not about stingy everywhere, but for every penny. The money that should be spent is spent vigorously, and the money that should not be spent is spent separately.
Take special effects as an example. This scene is very important. It doesn't matter if you spend money. If it's just an unimportant scene, is the standard lower?
After several days of meetings, through Mr. Meng’s
words and deeds,
this extravagant and wasteful evil spirit was finally suppressed.
Yan Tao responded quickly!
"Twenty million?"
To be honest, Yan Tao finished the actors and scripts so quickly, this was something Meng Lang did not expect. But what really surprised him was the budget report he submitted.
Does Doraemon save money so much?
According to the plan, Doraemon will be made into a "seasonal drama." There are about 30 episodes per season and each episode is 20 minutes.
20 million for a season?
Seeing "actor pay" dominates the budget, Meng Lang is full of worries. It’s okay to save money, but is it over-saving?
"This is a reasonable budget!"
Yan Tao rubbed his eyes and said, "This play mainly relies on screenwriters and actors. The actual cost of shooting is much lower than our previous works."
"What about those props?"
Meng Lang gestured: "I mean the magical props that appear in the script, such as any door of the bamboo dragonfly..."
"How easy is this!"
Yan Tao disapproved: "To achieve the effects of these props, post-editing and synthesizing is enough, and most of them don't even use special effects."
He expounded his thoughts.
For example, the bamboo dragonfly uses the method of "hanging Wia" to realize the movement of actors in the air. Or the actor stepped on a "green door" and was carried away by the staff.
Bamboo Dragonfly has many plans!
Secondly, props such as arbitrary doors and time and space shuttles are used to achieve the "traveling" effect through some special effects and "camera synthesis".
It’s easier to handle things like "transformed cookies" or pills. It is not difficult to achieve "magic effects" through lens conversion and cutting.
Doraemon’s magical props are magical in the eyes of children. But with the current shooting methods, it is not too easy to achieve similar effects.
Take the episode of "Nobita's Paradise" as an example. Nobita has no place to play and wants to go to a "unfettered" city. Doraemon took out a camera, as long as the building was photographed and poured in hot water, it would soon become a "small building".
At this time, Nobita and his friends, through the "shrink tunnel" provided by Doraemon, turn themselves into "thumbs" and can play in the small building.
Do kids find it amazing?
In fact, it is not difficult to achieve this effect. The Ultraman crew next door has a ready-made model, which is exactly the same as the actual building. Take the model first, and then rent a real building, the effect is definitely more shocking than the original.
Similar examples abound.
As long as the avatar of the blue fat guy is done well, and the
gangbang
scene does not appear, the live-action version is not much worse than the animated version.
Doraemon is quite suitable for reality!
After all, the main feature of this show is the magical props of Doraemon. In addition, the others are side dishes.
Nobita’s growth?
Are you pretending to be Nima? What is the growth of a lifetime of uselessness? Who watched Doraemon when they were young, and the focus was not on "props"?
Only when the audience grew up, did they start playing "Fat Tiger Terrier" and paid attention to Nobita's growth experience.
Who cares about this when I was young?
That being said, as a work that is popular all over the world, Doraemon is of course more than just "props." The lively characters are also a big advantage of this show.
Shizuka's fat tiger husband Nobita, and the protagonist Doraemon, each has a different personality. Although many years have passed, the audience still can't forget them.
This is amazing!
After watching how many classic works, the audience may only remember what the protagonist is like. The image of the supporting role is completely forgotten.
Take the classic first-generation Ultraman as an example. Early audiences still have clear images of Hayada Shin and Fuji Akiko in their minds. As for the rest of the Kurt team, at most remember the name, the image is very vague.
Although it was a project born out of a joke, Meng Lang still gave Yan Tao great support. Ask for money for money, ask for people to give. Except for the holster actors, they can't be easily transferred. Others can pick and choose.
Unfortunately, Yan Tao doesn't need it.
He only needs the shooting location!
"villa!"
Yan Tao said happily: "Villas with small courtyards! A total of six sets are needed. You don't need to be close to each other, it's ok to be separated by a distance."
What is going on?
If the land price in Jiangchuan is cheap, just six villas, Mengzi closed his eyes and bought it.
But Jiangchuan's house price...
"I asked someone to ask~EbookFREE.me~ if it can be rented, it's okay. If it can't be rented, then go to a city with low housing prices to shoot."
After sending off Yan Tao, Meng Lang quickly called Lao Meng who was fishing in the suburbs.
Lao Meng has a wide network of contacts and many friends with wine and meat. Most of them live in the same villa area. In the past, when I was shooting the little magic fairy, I relied on the old Mengtuo to rent two villas.
Look for him!
Meng Lang originally thought that even if Lao Meng could complete the task, he would have to go through several twists and turns. After all, filming is not something that can be done in a day or two. Why do people move out if they live well?
As a result, it was done in one afternoon!
"Your face is worth money!"
Lao Meng tut and said: "They didn't agree, I said you want to use it for filming, and I immediately agreed to change it, and I didn't charge any money!"
real or fake?
