Chapter 3: Firepower Junior King

Seeing that Lao Meng was agitated, Meng Lang hurriedly laughed and said: "How many years have you bought the house? Five years, right? You said I just graduated, and getting married is a few years later. It won't be ten years until I get married. Old house? You let me be a married house in an old house that has been unoccupied for ten years? You might as well kill me! Dad! Listen to me, and the sale will be over! If you turn back to earn money, buy another one!"
"you you you……"
Lao Meng was so angry that he didn't speak for a long time. Just when Meng Lang wondered if he was angry with Lao Meng, he listened to him and said, "Let’s do it, it’s all for you anyway, you cubs just don’t sell it. The house where I live with your mother will do. You can sell the other houses as you like. The real estate certificate is with me, and I will list it tomorrow, and I will give you the money if I sell it."
　　 "Thank you Dad!"
　　 Hanging up, Meng Lang began to think about how he should spend the money next.
　　The area of ​​the house in Garden Bridge is not small, and coupled with the excellent location, the market price cannot be less than 4 million. If Lao Meng is not embezzled, then 4 million will be credited to the account. Counting the 800,000 left in his hand, the production cost of the entire "Firepower Boy" is almost 5 million!
　　 Adding to it would definitely not work. Even if Lao Meng supported him again, he would not go bankrupt and gamble with him.
　　 A house has almost touched Lao Meng's bottom line. Based on Meng Lang's understanding of his father, Lao Meng will never help out no matter how he sells it in the future.
　　 Of course, Meng Lang would never ask Lao Meng for money anymore.
　　 Because five million is enough for him to shoot "Boyboy"!
　　 The original version of "Firepower Boys" has a production cost of more than 10 million and is produced by 12 animation studios led by Aofei Animation.
　　Considering the time gap between the two worlds, the time when the original World Aofei produced Firepower Boy King was 2004, and the technology of this world is almost similar to the original world in 2014.
　　 Ten years of time difference, the cost is definitely reduced a lot.
　　 And the original version of "Firepower Boys" was produced together with the anime version and the live-action version. Meng Lang didn't make the animation version at the beginning. If he did the live-action version alone, five million is definitely more than enough.
　　……
　　The first thing a crew needs is a variety of equipment and personnel to control them.
　　As a veteran of the industry, Meng Lang would not do anything stupid to buy anything. Instead, he found an equipment leasing company and leased the lowest set of crew equipment for three months at a total price of 580,000.
　　 The rental price of equipment is not expensive, and it is the most expensive to insure the equipment.
　　 The equipment is done, the next thing is people.
　　 Producer, director, and screenwriter Meng Lang can do it all by one person, but this is the advantage of having a group experience in a previous life.
　　Camera, scene notes, lighting, recording, makeup, props...
　　 These tasks require someone to take charge. Meng Lang is not a god, and he cannot take care of every position in the entire crew. Even for the lowest-cost TV series, these personnel are required.
　　 In order to solve this problem, Meng Lang went to Hengdian alone, and after paying a little price, he quickly found all the crew members he needed.
　　 Although they are not very professional, at least they are enough.
　　 This is the filming of "Firepower Boys" and not the annual drama "Latent". As long as the yo-yo glows, camera lighting is not unavailable.
　　 The construction of the crew is a waste of Meng Lang's mind. In contrast, it is easier to find many actors.
　　 The actors of "Boyboy" are easy to find, as long as they are young actors. Unlike "Ba La La Little Demon Fairy" and "Bakugan Kid", you have to specifically pick child stars.
　　The protagonist Li Fei and Meng Lang chose a third-line young actor named He Yifan.
　　 Li Fei has a lot of scenes in "The Young King of Firepower", and it can't be done without any acting support. Although we are shooting an awkward drama, how can the protagonist play Yo-Yo with Sima's face throughout?
　　 Therefore, Meng Lang specially spent half a million to find He Yifan to star.
　　 He Yifan was born in a boy group. Because the brokerage company closed down and the new owner lacked resources to support him, he was unknown in the entertainment circle.
　　 Meng Lang has seen several of his works, not to mention how good his acting skills are, but at least he has reached the pass criteria for acting in a drama.
　　The most important thing is that Meng Lang chose him! It's because he looks a lot like the actor in the original version of "The Young King of Fire" Li Fei, and the appearance of the brother Sunshine next door fits his needs.
　　The protagonist Li Fei is sure to play He Yifan, and the remaining supporting roles basically have nothing to hesitate.
　　 Anyway, this drama is mainly to promote the yo-yo, the protagonist's acting skills are online, and the rest of the people don't care about Sima's face throughout.
　　 But the role of Millie caused Meng Lang to fall into entanglement for a while.
Frankly speaking, when he first watched "Boys of Fire", what impressed him the most, except for Li Fei's cool trick "Silver Dragon", which was so cool that he had no friends, was Miss Millie's sweet smile. .
　　 At that time, the role of Millie, I don't know how many Sao years were regarded as the lover of dreams.
　　 Every teenager who plays yo-yo has two doubts in his heart.
　　 Why doesn’t my ball shine?
　　 Why is there no girl like Millie playing yo-yo around me?
The role of 　　Millie is quite popular in "The Young King of Fire", and even has the potential to surpass the protagonist Li Fei.
　　 Who will play this role?
　　 Meng Lang fell into a period of thought.
　　 The good-looking actresses in the entertainment industry are basically not low in bids. Even if it is the third-tier entertainment industry, as long as you look for her, the price is guaranteed to scare you.
　　 The average-looking actress is cheaper, but it's meaningless.
　　 Doesn't look good, is that called Millie?
　　 After thinking about it, Meng Lang finally made a decision.
The role of 　　Millie is definitely looking for a beautiful vase, but you don't need to look for a vase that is expensive for acting. Just find someone who has a good appearance from the group performance and smiles with the neighbor's fan.
　　 Mainly because I have no money!
　　 Just preparing the crew, even if one episode was not filmed, it cost nearly 3 million! If you find another expensive vase, you won't be able to eat it.
　　 "Sell yo-yo! Sell yo-yo! Sell yo-yo!" After reciting the spell three times in silence, Meng Lang finally pressed down and wanted to find a big-name idea.
　　 Yo-Yo is the protagonist!
　　What Li Feimili, just go away!
　　……
　　After a week of tossing, "Firepower Boys" finally started!
At the start-up ceremony, Lao Meng, who was specially invited to watch the ceremony, clapped dumbfoundedly, and was surprised when he watched the decent crew.
　　 really got it out?
　　 "Where are you guys looking for? I don't think this equipment is cheap. How much is left of the four million sold?" Lao Meng looked at the timing and asked Meng Lang when no one was paying attention.
　　 "There are two million left!"
Meng Lang slammed his mouth, and said with a look of enthusiasm: "It's still not enough money. The two million yuan will have to spend some money to do special effects in the later stage. After editing the film, you have to find ways to promote it. In addition, the cost during shooting , Not necessarily enough."
　　 Lao Meng nodded clearly after hearing this.
　　 It's good to have a plan, he is really afraid that this kid doesn't understand the way to create a mess.
