Chapter 728 "Lost"

Lin Han had thought about the other party's various answers in advance. Whether Han Feiguang chose "Doctor Who", "Lost" or "Star Gate", he just asked about the shooting cost!

Even people who are called conscience in Chinese dramas have to follow the general environment, considering whether they can make money and whether they will lose money, rather than whether the story is exciting or not.

When shooting science fiction works, the more investment the better, so that the production will be more sophisticated, especially for TV series that require special effects and large scenes!

If you want to stand out from the domestic TV series, you can't do it just by relying on the special effects of 50 cents. Lin Han pondered for a moment and replied: "These three TV series are not cheap, but fortunately we can shoot it for a long time."

The three TV series that Lin Han brought out, the shortest and most pitiful "Lost", also has six seasons, not to mention the longest-lived TV series in history that has been broadcast for decades!

Han Feiguang became silent after hearing Lin Han's statement. Even Lin Han said that these TV series were not cheap, so it was probably very expensive.

"Is there a script like "Immortality" that saves costs?"

The kind of "Immortality" is like a group of people sitting in the living room chatting and passing the time. The cost is indeed very low, but the requirements for screenwriters and actors are very high.

So Lin Han answered readily: "If you are looking for a science fiction sitcom, then you are looking for the wrong person!"

Han Feiguang noticed Lin Han's dissatisfaction and immediately apologized and said, "Sorry, our company has always been a habit of saving, and always subconsciously think of it. I am actually optimistic about these three books, but to be honest, if I spend 100 million yuan to shoot a TV series, if it is not sold or the ratings are very poor, our company may be in trouble."

"If possible, I would definitely want to take down all three scripts. After all, there are not many opportunities to cooperate with you!"

However, Lin Han is immune to this compliment, and funds are not a problem for him. Now Galaxy Pictures is settled for the global box office dividends of "The Matrix", and there are two movies in the same series, so the box office is not expected to be too bad.

However, what Lin Han wants is a stable and efficient production team. Galaxy Pictures has just been established for a while, so it is obviously not as experienced as Zhongyuan Pictures, and its channels for promoting TV stations are far inferior.

"Don't worry about the shooting funds. Our respective companies can bear the average. Science fiction TV series is to allow viewers to enjoy the same fun as watching movies when they sit at home!"

In his previous life, Lin Han only cared about the content of science fiction films and seldom paid attention to gossip news, but as far as he knew, the production cost of any science fiction TV series was not low.

"Western World" season 1 has only 10 episodes, and the production cost is as high as $100 million; at the same time, the production cost of "Super Sense Hunting" by the Wachowski sisters is as high as $9 million in a single episode, and it was finally cut off two seasons because of the high cost. For the TV series "Lost", the highest episode also cost $10 million, and each episode is no less than $4 million.

These TV series are different from sitcoms like "Friends" and "The Big Bang Theory". The actors' salary is not the most important, and the cost is mainly spent on filming.

What science fiction TV series do you have to shoot without money? How good is it to shoot idol dramas or romance novels adapted to make money!

Han Feiguang finally heard what he wanted, not only to buy scripts from Lin Han, but also wanted their funds and reputation. Which TV series Lin Han is more attractive than TV series with multiple identities such as Lin Han as producer, screenwriter, consultant, etc.?

"With your words, we have to feel much more at ease! This way, we can sign a contract to shoot a TV series every year in the next three years. How about filming "Lost" first this year?"

Han Feiguang wanted to tie Lin Han tightly to his company, so he gave this solution.

However, Lin Han was not stupid. He explained: "If you shoot one movie every year, I'm afraid we won't be able to catch it. You must know that according to my idea, "Lost" may film six consecutive movies. Do we have to film the second part of "Star Gate" and the first part of "Doctor Who" at the same time when we film the third part of "Lost"? Mr. Han, don't be too greedy!"

Eggs cannot be placed in the same basket, and it is the same for shooting TV series. Now that the two companies have not reached any cooperation, Han Feiguang just wants to get so many things. Lin Han understands that none of the businessmen have a conscience!

The conscience of Chinese dramas is probably black when you see it when you cut it open.

Han Feiguang didn't care, "Then let's shoot one first. After we collaborate, we may be able to shoot the rest of the works. Anyway, there is no need to worry too much about the sequel."

"By the way, how did you decide to shoot "Lost"? Maybe its shooting cost is the most expensive here. You may have to rent an island, build a wreckage of an airplane, and dozens of extras and staff. It's not easy to just have equipment and props."

"Why should I rent an island? There are so many deserted islands without people. Even if it is a famous island, I'm afraid I have to ask them to charge advertising fees. How could I pay for it!"

Lin Han patted his head, but he didn't expect that this would happen. If he really wanted to pull out his signature from Zhongyuan Film and Television, it might not work abroad, but it would be welcomed at any domestic attractions, and the local tourism bureau would probably be listed as a guest of honor.

If you successfully serve as the filming location of "Lost", do you still have to worry about tourists not coming?

In just a short while, Han Feiguang had already figured it out, and Lin Han was trapped in the behind-the-scenes filming of the American drama.

China has a vast land and resources. Although there are fewer tropical parts, you can still find a suitable island after careful searching. This large amount of expenses is saved, at most, the actors, props, shooting equipment, and labor costs can be greatly compressed!

And it doesn’t need to film and play it while playing like American dramas, but just complete the first season in one go, which saves a lot of time.

"I chose "Lost" probably because I listened to your explanation and thought it was a bit like a science fiction version of the deserted island. This idea is very attractive, and I have a premonition that it is impossible for a science fiction to have too much science fiction content. Don't we have to do too many special effects, right?"

Lin Han had to shake his head and admire him. He analyzed so much content from his words. Han Feiguang's image of a smart businessman became more and more vivid in his mind. "Yes, "Lost" mainly costs money for outdoor scenes and sets. There are not many special effects scenes. Even if you find the top special effects team in Hollywood, you can't spend much money!"

Of course, the special effects of some scenes do not mean that the more gorgeous the better. Sometimes the special effects will quietly blend with the background, which looks extremely real, so that the audience can't tell that it is fake.

"Then when will I see the final script of "Lost"?" Han Feiguang rubbed his hands, "To be honest, I can't wait!"
Chapter completed!
