Which is more expensive in film shooting, real-life shooting or scenery shooting?

In the early stage of the film, it was basically framing. The scenery at that time was more like a background board, which was very rough; After the demand for watching movies increases, it is basically a popular live shooting; After the development of special effects technology, it returned to the shooting of scenery. But it is actually just an outline, a tracking point, and a synthetic necessity. Most of the scenes are made up by post-special effects. Sparta 300 and Fengyun 2 were all filmed in the whole shed. The transformation process here is nothing more than saving money on the basis of meeting the needs of directors.

First, the most expensive cost of making a movie now is the actor's pay, which accounts for half of a movie. As early as Zhang Yimou's Hero opened a domestic commercial film, Jet Li's 100 million films accounted for half of the production cost. There are no other actors. Controllability of shooting scenes. It can minimize the time of actors and naturally save a lot of money.

Second, the overall cost of the crew, now filming, any day will generate hundreds of thousands or even millions of expenses, so the shorter the filming time, the more money you can save. Sometimes you can't imagine the cost of real-life shooting. A little thing costs a lot. For example, Zhao Wei filmed "To Youth" on a street in Shanghai (I forget which street), and the parking fee for one night was several hundred thousand.

Third, real-life shooting is more time-consuming, and the shooting cycle of a movie may be several times that of a shed. Now pay attention to the payback period. The same movie earned 6.5438+million yuan, the former took one year and the latter only took three months. It is conceivable how investors will choose. To sum up, usually the small crew will choose real shooting because the time cost is cheap. The big crew will choose to shoot on the set because time is expensive and efficiency is more important.
