Wanton God's Life Records

Chapter 730 Spending money to "make" a movie

Giving jewelry is a common thing for Li Yue, but it still excited the four girls present. Even Sarah and Hariya got a lot of jewelry.

Accordingly, Li Yue really cleared the obstacles that night and enjoyed the blessing of being together.

Especially Riza, she is the most enthusiastic and proactive, because she received two gifts, as well as the company equity given by Li Xijing.

The next day, Riza happily accompanied Li Yue to the Manila business district and attended the opening ceremony of the Philippine branch of PLAY Entertainment. This was originally the office building of CA Entertainment, but now it has been completely transferred to the PLAY Group, with Riza as the branch. The shareholder, the first S-level signed artist, came to the stage and gave a speech.

Riza stood on the stage, wearing a burgundy women's suit, a short skirt and stockings of the same color. She looked formal and serious, but also highlighted a hint of solemn goddess temperament, which made countless men in the audience stare.

"It is indeed the best face in the world. It is so beautiful."

"I heard that this person who was gifted shares has become our boss."

"That's the boss lady. Hehe, what we see is her dignified and formal side, but what the boss sees is the real thing."

"I'm jealous."

No matter how the audience discusses, this is Liza’s brightest moment. The topic of her speech is film and television. She said that PLAY Entertainment’s Philippine branch should devote itself to improving the Southeast Asian film industry chain, and so on. This is written in advance. The manuscript is also the future development direction of the Philippine branch.

Southeast Asia has a population of about 6 million, but apart from raw resource industries, there are no local high-end industries, and even manufacturing is only a handful. Because of this, its development potential is extremely huge.

Since Li Yue wants to take over Li Laihang's assets, it is natural for him to expand his power to Southeast Asia.

However, Southeast Asia is relatively anti-Chinese, so Li Yue simply pushed Riza to the front. Although many people could see through this trick, most people did not know it. They would only see Riza, the number one national figure. The beauty became a shareholder of a large company and kept talking about developing local industries.

It can be said that it is very simple to transform Riza from the "number one beauty" to a "local hero", not to mention that Li Yue has a big killer weapon.

After the opening ceremony, Li Yue took Liza to the ready-made video studio of CA Entertainment. Directors, photographers and other related personnel were already in place. They would "reshoot" the first movie project of PLAY Entertainment Philippines Branch here. :"Super hero".

The system-edited version of the video has been posted in the storage column, and Li Yue has already watched it. It is 4 hours long, starting with Li Yue driving his stunning Bugatti Veyron and ending at the beach show at the Black Sea Manor. Basically The story of Li Yue and Riza meeting each other and going into danger together is also a typical hero saving beauty routine.

Although the routine is old, Li Yue watched it with enthusiasm and even had a deep sense of involvement.It was a magical feeling, as if the pictures and plot were immersive. Li Yue once suspected that it was because he was the prototype protagonist, but later he found out that it was not, and that it was a high-quality product produced by the system.

This thing is definitely going to be a hit, and correspondingly, as the absolutely gorgeous heroine, Riza is definitely going to be a hit, and Kim Domingo will even become a hit too.

This is Li Yue's killer weapon. The only problem with it is that because it has to explain the origin of the film, it takes a certain amount of time to reshoot the scenes in the film.

"The company's first project must require a huge investment."

"I heard that our new boss is quite generous, and this project is to flatter his woman, so the cost goes without saying."

"It's really good to meet a rich boss."

When Li Yue brought Riza and Kim Domingo to the company's studio, the relevant personnel were already waiting here.

These people are all well-known figures in the Philippine entertainment industry. Thanks to the branch's annexation of CA Entertainment, they can be gathered together. Of course, most of them are here for the name of Li Yue, the name of Shenhao. , now it is no longer limited to the country, and even has a certain reputation internationally.

"Hello everyone, my name is Li Yue, and these are Liza and Kim Domingo. You must be familiar with these two beauties, so I won't introduce them too much. What I want to point out is that the new project is a It is an old-fashioned "Heroes Save Beauty" film, but because it is completely based on reality and copies the story of Riza and I, so in addition to being the male and female protagonists, Riza and I will also have a greater say in the project. …”

After saying that, Li Yue turned to look at the director and said with a smile: "Although I have heard of Mr. Damon's works in China, "The Bermuda Triangle" is a work that can leave a name in film history. I hope to cooperate with Mr. Damon this time." Happy and I hope Mr. Damon understands the special nature of this film."

Lou Damon is the most famous director in the Philippines. He is also the first celebrity to develop in Hollywood and achieve certain success. He is regarded as a national treasure director in the Philippines.

Although the Philippine branch of PLAY Entertainment has just been established, it has already spread its wings. With Li Xiaolai's full support, its scale is not only the largest in the Philippines, but also the largest in Southeast Asia. Coupled with Li Yue's name , "Superhero" has attracted some famous people in the entertainment industry in Southeast Asia.

"Haha, it's my honor to be able to take over the filming of "Superhero" and to cooperate with you and Ms. Liza."

Lou Damon is very humble and very happy in his heart. In fact, although he is famous in the Philippines, he is not very successful in Hollywood. He has always been in the independent film industry. This time he can receive a so-called big production in his hometown. movie, there is no intention of showing off his skills.

Others, like Lou Damon, are full of confidence. In their view, even if "Superhero" does not produce good results, the money is definitely in place, and that is enough.

But soon, many people discovered that things were developing in a weird direction...

"This plot is wrong. I need to fully show the faces of the four policemen..."

"Hey, hey, you are all from the original team. Where did your arrogance go?"

The plot started filming, and the first scene was a scene between Li Yue and four Philippine policemen. In order to "restore" reality, the four Philippine policemen were pulled over again, but they no longer had the arrogance they had when they met Li Yue. , was timid during filming, which made the director and others frown.

Lu Damon found an opportunity and suggested to Li Yue: "Mr. Li, I think professional matters should be left to professionals. Your original intention is good, but filming is filming after all. What happened before It’s just a coincidence, which most likely cannot be replicated by non-professionals..."

"The suggestion is great, but I said, this scene is very special and I hope everything goes my way!"

Li Youwen smiled softly, and what he said was extremely arbitrary. He waved his hand and interrupted what he was going on to say. He then said, "Skip this drama for now and shoot the next scene..."

The next scene is the scene where Li Yue and Riza meet for the first time. There are many passers-by in this play, but most of them are background panels. The camera is focused on Li Yue and Riza.Riza has experience in photography. She has filmed several TV series in the Philippines. In addition, she is the protagonist of the big screen. This makes her perform exceptionally well, almost taking one shot to the end without any delay.

Surprisingly, Li Yue didn't perform well at the beginning. Although he didn't have any nervousness, the management of facial expressions and the like was still not in place. To put it bluntly, he didn't know how to act. Lu Damon and others couldn't bear it. Looking directly, I couldn't help but interrupt his performance.

But soon, Li Yue actually got into the mood, and miraculously quickly filmed the scene, leaving the professionals around him dumbfounded.

What they didn't know was that Li Yue was on the hook. He didn't act well at the beginning, because he hadn't received the skills yet. As time passed and the experience accumulated to a certain level, the system directly rewarded the "acting" skills, so , at this time he was performing with all his skills. Although he was not as good as the veteran actors, he was already at the level of a professional actor.

Lu Damon and others just breathed a sigh of relief, but the next scene was that Li Xiaolai's bodyguard team appeared. These non-professionals were stuck again, and then...

"Skip! Today we will only shoot scenes between me and Riza..."

Li Yue made a prompt decision and announced that he would skip the passerby scene.

As a result, the filming progress that shocked Lou Damon and others took place. In just one afternoon, the filming progress of the crew increased by leaps and bounds. The scene that originally took a week to complete was completed on this day!Of course, the premise is to ignore the large number of passerby dramas.

At the end of the day's shooting, Lu Damon came to Li Yue and said with a wry smile: "Mr. Li, filming like this won't work. Passerby scenes have to be filmed after all, and delaying them is not an option. We still need a group of professional actors..."

"Just leave this matter alone, Mr. Damon, do you remember what I said before? I will have a big say in this drama..."

"Okay, let's not talk about this, everyone is tired, I treat you, let's go to the hotel for dinner..."

Lou Damon was dragged by Li Yue in a daze, and he and other crew members went to the most luxurious restaurant nearby. About 20 people had a meal worth 10 US dollars. When Li Yue paid the bill, Lu Damon looked at him. -Damon was frightened for a while.

Then Li Yue took the two beauties and swaggered to the hotel to book a room, leaving the others looking at each other:

"Tsk, this feeling is really weird."

"Who says it's not? Logically speaking, this boss is pretty good. He spent 10 US dollars on a meal. You wouldn't even think about it in other crews, but what are they filming? All of them. It’s just the two of them, why won’t the others film it?”

"Also, we don't have any say in the filming of the two of them, including the styling and positioning, which are all designated by Mr. Li. What else do we need?"

Everyone complained together, but in the end, Lu Damon made the final decision: "No matter what, Li Yue has a lot of money, and we had a dinner worth $10. No matter how much we complain, we have to endure it."

If these people knew that Li Yue already had the original version of the film, they would understand Li Yue's approach.

However, the original film involved a system, so Li Yue naturally would not announce it. After another "boring" night, the next day, Li Yue announced a new decision:
"In order to speed up the shooting progress, the "Superhero" crew will be divided into 5 groups. I, Liza, and director Lou Damon are the first group. We are only responsible for shooting the main line process, and the others are divided into four groups. Regarding the scenery, supporting actors and other plots, I only have one request, and that is to use the 'original cast' and complete the filming as soon as possible!"

This decision dumbfounded many professionals, and everyone opposed it:

"How can this be done? Mr. Lou Damon is the chief director and he is only responsible for one group. What about the progress of other groups?"

"How to allocate camera and props? Although the protagonist has the most roles, others also have a lot of roles."

"This will only cause confusion in resource utilization."

Almost everyone who knows how to make movies has raised objections: If Li Yue can do this, why don't other film crews make it like this?Maybe some movies used two sets of shooting techniques, but they have gathered at least two professional teams. Compared with it, Li Yue is simply fooling around.

Li Yue raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said:
"There is a reason why we do this, but the reason is currently confidential. Let me reiterate again. The "Superhero" project is very special. I need everyone to follow the producer's instructions and focus on completing the work at hand!"

"As for the issue of resource utilization, I can tell you clearly that from now on, all the resources of the crew will be concentrated on the first group as much as possible. In other words, the first group will be the absolute focus."

"The other four groups should not be disappointed. The burden you shoulder is also very important, so after the filming is completed, each group will receive an additional bonus of US$100 million, including the first group of production staff!"

Everyone originally had many opinions on Li Yue's words, but when they heard the last "100 million US dollars", all opinions turned into cheers:

"100 million! US dollars!"

"Oh my God! Long live the boss!"

"Li Yue, I love you!"

The per capita income in the Philippines for 15 years was about RMB1500, which is worse than the worst provinces in the country. And the entire crew of "Superhero", excluding the actors, only has about 20 people, which is equivalent to 20 people sharing it equally. Five 5 million US dollars, an average of 100 US dollars per person, this is definitely an unimaginable astronomical figure!

Of course, in actual operation, famous directors like Lou Damon will get more points, but it doesn't hurt.

In short, with the financial stimulus, the crew began to operate efficiently:
The other four groups actually had relatively few tasks, so even if the original team members were not professionals, after reshooting over and over again, the progress was still quickly caught up.

Only the first group that Li Yue is in has many plots and scenes for the male and female protagonists, and Lu Damon is very serious and meticulous, so the progress has always been the slowest.

Li Yue is not in a hurry. It has only been two days since filming began, but one-third of the filming progress has actually been completed. According to this progress, "Superhero" can be completed within a week.
