After Chen Hao flew to Xiangjiang, he took a taxi out of the airport and rushed directly to Wutong Digital Special Effects Company, and at the same time looked at the Pearl of the Orient at the beginning of the century in the taxi.

The current Xiangjiang is indeed much more modern than the imperial capital, with many high-rise buildings, and of course, there are also slightly dilapidated and backward neighborhoods.

Wutong Digital is not in a modern office building, but in a very ordinary neighborhood, probably because the rent is cheap!

Chen Hao specially looked at the traditional Chinese characters on the sign, and repeatedly confirmed that it should be the six words of Wutong digital special effects, and then pushed open the inconspicuous door.

After walking in, it was a different scene, many people were lying in front of the computer and working hard, and there was no one to greet them.

I heard that the Xiangjiang special effects company is miserable before, but it looks so busy here, it doesn't look like it.

Seeing that no one took care of him, Chen Hao directly dialed the phone number given by Yu Dong.

"Hey, hello Mr. Luo, I'm Chen Hao. Chen Hao said.

"Ao, it's Director Chen, hello, hello, are you in Xiangjiang now?" Luo Weihao said enthusiastically.

"I just arrived at your company. Chen Hao said.

"It's already there, you wait a minute, I'll come down right away." Luo Weihao said.

Two minutes later, I saw a rough man with a big waist and a round waist walking down, and after seeing Chen Hao, he was puzzled, "Are you Director Chen?"

"I'm Chen Hao!" Chen Hao smiled and nodded.

"Director Chen is really young!" Luo Weihao smiled, "Let's go upstairs and talk!"

The two then came to Luo Weihao's office, "Director Chen, please take a seat." ”

Chen Hao sat down and looked at Luo Weihao's office, it was not big, and there was no modern design, in combination with the situation on the first floor he had just seen, it was indeed too different from the industrial light and magic that Chen Hao had visited in his previous life.

Not only in terms of technology, but also in terms of management and corporate culture.

However, Chinese special effects lag behind Hollywood for more than 20 years, and now is the time to catch up.

"Mr. Luo, I see that your company's business is very busy!" Chen Hao asked, which was different from what Wen Juan said.

"Alas, it is also thanks to "Shaolin Football". Luo Weihao said, then opened his mouth and closed it again.

Chen Hao nodded when he heard this, last year's "Shaolin Football" caused a sensation as soon as it was released!

It has won a total of 42.77 million US dollars at the box office worldwide, equivalent to 280 million yuan, and a box office of 60.73 million Hong Kong dollars in Xiangjiang, directly breaking the box office record of Chinese films in Hong Kong!

The island country, the world's second largest film market, won a box office of 20.42 million US dollars, about 2.8 billion yen, triggering a movie-watching boom!

In addition to being very keen on the theme of the Three Kingdoms, the island country is also very interested in Chinese kung fu elements, especially "Shaolin"!

It's a pity that this movie was not released in the mainland, and at this time, most of the "Shaolin Football" that everyone saw for the first time should be on DVD or in a deleted version.

The reason why it was not released in the mainland is because of the censorship system, mainly "Shaolin Football" involves the word "Shaolin" in both the title and the props in the film, and the mainland has always been cautious about religious issues.

Shaolin Temple is a Buddhist holy place in China, and "Shaolin Football" links Shaolin Kung Fu and football together, which damages the solemn image of Shaolin Temple.

Moreover, in the whole movie, whether it is the "match-fixing" incident at the beginning or the "doping" incident at the end, it is a very evasive issue, and the result can be imagined.

Otherwise, with the influence of the star master, the special effects of the movie, and Zhao Yanzi, who can be called a national level in the mainland, its box office will definitely be promising in the mainland.

And Wutong Digital, which participated in the special effects production of "Shaolin Football", obviously became popular with the sensation caused by the movie, and many people came here after knowing it, and Chen Hao was one of them.

"Director Chen, let's talk about you!" Luo Weihao said.

"I'm going to make a sci-fi film and I need to make special effects about the moon. Chen Hao said directly when he heard this.

"Sci-fi film, do you want to make sci-fi film?" Luo Weihao was stunned when he heard this, obviously he didn't expect Chen Hao to make a sci-fi film, isn't kung fu and martial arts hotter now?

No one can play science fiction movies in Xiangjiang, can you be a young director in the mainland?

Then I thought about it again, maybe it's just one or two shots, blame the sheep's head for selling dog meat!

"Yes, the special effects I want to shoot are mainly on the moon, and the place where the male protagonist works is on the moon, in addition to the workstation as the main scene, it also involves walking on the surface of the moon, space vehicle travel, signal towers, mining vehicle operations, cabin launches and so on. Chen Hao said.

Luo Weihao blinked when he heard this, "How long are these shots?"

"About ten minutes. Chen Hao said.

"Oh, do you really want to make a science fiction movie?" said Luo Weihao in surprise.

"Of course, why would I come to you otherwise?" Chen Hao asked with a smile.

Luo Weihao smiled when he heard this, and admired Chen Hao's boldness a little, "Okay, how is the movie shooting?"

"Filming hasn't started yet, I hope you can participate in the creation and shooting of the crew, understand the film as a whole, and then give the most pertinent advice to help me complete this sci-fi movie together. Chen Hao said.

"I take the liberty of asking, how much money is there to make special effects?" Luo Weihao asked, special effects, you get what you pay for, no money, everything is nonsense.

"I'm going to invest 3 million yuan to make special effects. Chen Hao said, "No way, the total investment in this movie is less than 4 million!"

"Oh, the cost of special effects production is more than 75%?" Luo Weihao said unexpectedly, which is rare in China.

"Of course, science fiction movies, special effects are undoubtedly one of the biggest selling points, how can I do it without investment, I don't want to make a five-cent special effect!" Chen Hao nodded.

"Wumao special effects?hahaha......" Luo Weihao laughed when he heard this, "Well said." ”

"Three million may still be a little less, but I only have so much money, and it's only the surface of the moon, there is no explosion, there is water and fire, and the workstation can be set up with a scene, so it should be completed!" Chen Hao said.

"So, can I read the script first? and do you have any storyboards?" asked Luo Weihao.

In fact, in addition to technology, imagination is also very important in special effects, many directors have lenses in their heads, and with these lenses, special effects production can be done according to the map, if there is no lens, then special effects personnel need to solve it themselves.

"Of course!" Chen Hao handed the script directly to Luo Weihao, and then waited patiently.

After Luo Weihao finished reading it, he couldn't help but look at Chen Hao, although this script is not shocking, but after reading it, it does make people feel a little amazing, this is a good script, there is no doubt that this young man in front of him is not simple!

"Okay, happy cooperation!" said Luo Weihao.
