Financial schemes for a film expedition; cosmos, the Moon and a super-heavy rocket. The note.
Information came about problems with a group of nine people who, on special vehicles (which allowed this group to move through the swamps) walked through uncrowded places and they stopped communicating with the outside world. Where are they? Are the special organizations looking for this group?
Thus, nine people.
What is the period of this expedition? We have not heard clear information on this topic. Let's say 10 days.
We conditionally take the basic costs per man-day to be equal to 100,000 rubles.
9 times 100,000 times 10 = 9,000,000 (nine million) rubles. Intuitively, we believe that the cost of such a film expedition is much higher. But we take this amount (nine million rubles).
Where did this amount come from? What is its source?
I would like to believe that wealthy travelers have allocated their personal money, and they covered the travel expenses.
But what about the two technical devices that enable travel in swampy terrain?
These vehicles need constant maintenance. They are registered somewhere, they (probably) require special drivers.
Apparently, this was not done without the participation of the state.
And if the state participated through the allocation of swamp-going vehicles, then, given such an opportunity, it is somehow naive to think that such influential travelers enjoyed the views of nature at their own expense.
However, the Russian Geographical Society was mentioned several times.
If anyone has paid attention to messages about events organized by the Russian Geographical Society, then such people can guess where the money for such trips comes from.
Of course, traveling to uncrowded places is an interesting topic.
But after all, there was information that the expedition was attended by some figure close to the creation of popular films (director?), And an operator (a person filming with a movie camera).
Of course, few people are interested in such films. A certain number of people start to watch such films, but what can viewers to see in them? Trees, some animals?
It is much more useful not to watch such films, but to take a daily walk (or jog) in the fresh air.
A film like this can be made by two people.
The first participant in a hypothetical project, a simple hunter (or another local resident), who has the skills to move around such sparsely populated places, can shoot video content on a smartphone. Such a procedure without swamp-going vehicles will take not 10 days, but two months (you need spare batteries or recharging with solar panels).
The second participant in the hypothetical project, a creative person with the skills of film editing, can to create (to edit and to sound) such a film.
All this can be done even for free - just for the sake of gaining Internet fame.
If there were connections, such a film could be sold - for a lot of money. But connections and skills are needed ...
Another thing is the director and cameraman and their media product.
This movie will be attached, will be settled, will be located somewhere. Where it will be?
Let's say on some TV channel, - to be shown along with other popular films.
Popular films are great disguises for the criminal sub-culture. ("We are cultured people, broad-minded! We are interested in various topics!").
But in this case something else is interesting. Where did the TV channel get the money? All from the same place. Plus savings.
For example, the flight of a director (option: an actress) and an operator into space for a TV company costs 2 billion rubles.
In reality, it can cost $ 100 million for two people (100 million multiplied by 72 = 7.2 billion rubles).
If you save about 5 billion rubles on a space flight (7.2 - 2 = 5), you can buy all kinds of films from initiative people.
The real cost of these films is a debatable issue. They can cost and - zero.
And how do responsible organizations get the opportunity? - the ability to launch a director (option: an actress) and an operator into space at discounted prices - with a loss?
We can remember the development of super-heavy rockets for a flight to the Moon. These are very expensive developments - almost one and a half trillion rubles.
We don't know the details, but development began around 2018. Three years have passed. If the development period is ten years, and if the costs were carried out evenly, then 450 billion rubles have already been spent.
But now a new point of view has emerged about these developments, cost optimization is being carried out.
That is, savings on the development of a super-heavy rocket for a lunar expedition may well be achieved - the savings sufficient to launch a director (option: an actress) and an operator into space at discounted prices.
In general, this is an interesting business - cinematic travel at public expense. It's interesting event - from both cognitive and financial points of view ...
