I have no money to do scientific research, so I am forced to be a star

Chapter 672

Time flies.

A month has passed.

In the intensive shooting every day, “The Wandering Earth” has already finished half of the content.

At this speed, it will take another month to shoot all the shots and proceed to post-production.

In the previous life, “The Wandering Earth” took four years from preparation, shooting, to post-production.

The reason why the two are so different in efficiency and progress.

It’s not that Su Mo is greedy for speed, and the things he shoots are shoddy.

It’s because Su Mo is not short of money, and he is willing to spend money on it.

With sufficient financial support, various resources can be quickly deployed.

Whether it is costumes and props, or the treatment of the actors, they can be done to the extreme.

This makes the entire filming process extremely smooth, and there has never been any stagnation or delay in filming due to funding issues.

Looking back at the previous life, when director Guo Fan was filming “The Wandering Earth”, he had to face various problems due to financial difficulties.

For example, the production of props and the construction of many scenes.

If the budget is insufficient, it is impossible to achieve the ideal effect.

In this way, either use 50 cents of crude special effects to get by, fool the audience after the release and wait for criticism.

Or go to attract investment, if you can’t get it, then you can only suspend filming.

In addition, if the treatment of the actors is not fully guaranteed.

Then during the filming process, it will also greatly affect the state and performance.

Looking back at Su Mo, because of sufficient funds, there is no need to worry about money.

He can invite the industry’s top special effects team to create the most shocking visual effects for the film.

These special effects teams have the world’s most advanced technology and the richest experience.

As long as he paid, the sci-fi scenes in Su Mo’s mind could be perfectly presented on the big screen.

And this crazy money-burning approach also made Wang Xiaoyan unable to help but come over.

“Momo.”

“The budget of “The Wandering Earth” has exceeded 300 million!”

“If the cost is not controlled, I estimate that after the filming, 1 billion will not be enough!”

Wang Xiaoyan, holding a thick stack of financial statements in her hand, was full of worry between her brows.

Because in the crew of “The Wandering Earth”, she was named by Su Mo as a producer.

And the producer’s responsibility is to be fully responsible for the preparation and organization during the filming.

This includes the salary of the actors, the contract signing of the filming equipment, the cost accounting of the filming funds, and the financial audit.

And the execution of filming production, post-production, and assisting investors in the domestic and foreign distribution declaration.

It can be said that in the crew of “The Wandering Earth”, Su Mo, as a director, only needs to be responsible for making a good play.

In addition, all the tedious matters that were a headache were handed over to Wang Xiaoyan.

And the speed at which Su Mo spent money during the filming was far beyond the original expectations.

If Su Mo had previously saved money in various ways when filming “Dying to Survive”, and finally controlled the total investment to 73 million.

Then this time when filming “The Wandering Earth”, he was spending money regardless of the cost.

The 500 million yuan of filming funds originally placed in the company’s account were spent before half of the filming was completed.

This speed of spending money far exceeded the budget. Whenever a crew was changed, she, the producer in charge of finance, would be the first to become a suspect.

After all…

In many film and television dramas or variety show crews in the entertainment industry.

It is not uncommon for producers to use their positions to embezzle money.

For example, falsely reporting the budget and then taking the extra part for themselves.

Or they collude with suppliers, and reach private agreements with suppliers when purchasing or renting props, costumes, and equipment, raising the purchase price and taking kickbacks.

Or they forge invoices for various expenses and report false accounts to embezzle sponsorship funds.

Others will tamper with the remuneration of actors and staff, falsely reporting the number of people and salaries.

In short, the producer is the most lucrative job in the crew.

There are too many places to make money, and as long as you don’t make too much, you will basically not be discovered.

…

Looking at Wang Xiaoyan’s face, she looked sad because she spent more money than the budget.

After taking the financial report she handed over and flipping through it casually.

Su Mo, who didn’t care about it, deliberately teased with a hint of playfulness in his tone:

“Huh… Did it exceed the budget by so much?”

“Sister Wang, could it be that you, the producer, embezzled the money?”

When Su Mo said this, Wang Xiaoyan was stunned at first, and then she was instantly furious!

Since the filming of “The Wandering Earth” began, she has been busy every day.

In addition to filming, she needs to work hard on almost all the work.

In order to show her smart and capable side, so that Su Mo can please her and praise her a few words.

But Su Mo’s question of whether you embezzled money directly broke her defense.

“I, Wang Xiaoyan, am upright and have never done anything to let you down!”

“If I embezzled a penny, I will let a car hit me to death when I go out!”

As she spoke…

Wang Xiaoyan’s eyes gradually turned red with grievances and bitterness, and tears began to roll in her beautiful eyes.

In the end, she couldn’t hold back, and the big tears slid down her face.

Looking at Wang Xiaoyan’s face covered with her hands, squatting on the ground and crying.

Su Mo’s scalp tingled instantly, and he immediately realized that he had joked too much.

He quickly stood up and hugged Wang Xiaoyan into his arms, saying with an apologetic tone:

“Oh… Sister Xiaoyan, I was joking with you.”

“You, Sister Mi, Reba and Xiaoyi are all the women I trust the most. How could I doubt you?”

Su Mo said as he took out a tissue from the table and wiped away her tears with a distressed face.

Softly said: “I know it’s not easy for you. All the big and small affairs of the crew are on your shoulders. You have done a good job.”

“I was just joking with you just now. I love you so much, how could I doubt you?”

“If you are angry, hit me a few times to vent your anger.”

Under Su Mo’s sweet words offensive

Wang Xiaoyan, who was originally crying, suddenly burst into laughter:

“Stinky brother, if you make such a joke again, I will be really angry.”

While wiping her tears, she gently hit Su Mo twice, but the force was so light that it seemed like tickling.

Looking at Wang Xiaoyan, a strong woman who controls most of the Oriental Media Company, is a big shot in the entertainment industry, and is fawned upon by countless people.

In front of him, she cried like a childish little girl with a red nose.

Su Mo, who always kept a cool head, felt a little proud in his heart.

He couldn’t help but sigh secretly: “Sure enough! If a man has money, power and status, even the most powerful woman will show a tender and feminine side…”
