Chen Hao specially went to ask the price of the luxury villa in Repulse Bay.

The mansion here is next to the Bay Area, and the scenery and environment are undoubtedly the best choice, as well as feng shui, after all, Xiangjiang people believe in these.

However, the smallest villa is also 3,000 square feet, which is about 300 square meters.

And in 2003, the price per foot reached between 120,000 yuan and 160,000 yuan, depending on the location, direction and so on.

In other words, Chen Hao now wants to buy the smallest villa in Repulse Bay, and he will have to pay at least 36 million.

By the way, you have to add stamp duty and title deed tax, and the final price should be around 40 million!

It can only be said that Xiangjiang is famous for the world's highest house prices!

Of course, these villas are already renovated and can be moved in directly, and usually come with a yard of the same size.

Therefore, after thinking about it for a long time, Chen Hao still decided to buy it, and quickly completed all the formalities.

After all, as the city with the highest housing prices in the world, the price of Xiangjiang has risen to an average of 300,000 yuan per foot in later generations, and the price of each villa will basically exceed 100 million yuan by then.

Moreover, Chen Hao should have a lot of opportunities in Xiangjiang in the future, so he must have a place to live.

However, after investing in "Chainsaw", Haotian Film and Television, and buying this Repulse Bay villa, Chen Hao only had 23 million money left.

Fortunately, with an investment of $15 million in the new film, you can use your own salary to offset 10 million first, and the remaining 5 million can be made up when the box office share of "Hurricane Rescue" arrives.

Subsequently, Chen Hao enjoyed a night alone in his newly bought villa, and flew to the United States with a team of Haotian special effects the next day.

Chang Hongsong stayed in Xiangjiang temporarily, continued to integrate the newly established Haotian special effects, and at the same time directed the production of the opening animation of Haotian Film and Television.

He would fly to the United States to join the crew once the company was on track.

After Chen Hao arrived in the United States, he first went to meet the special effects studio that Davis found for himself, Weta Digital!

Headquartered in New Zealand, the special effects company was founded by Peter Jackson with his friends Richard Taylor and Jimmy Selkirk.

Representative works can be described as famous, "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "Avatar", "King Kong", "Rise of the Planet of the Apes" series and so on.

There is also a Canadian image engine stunt production company to assist in the production.

Of course, Chen Hao also brought his own Haotian special effects.

After the meeting, Chen Hao took out more concept drawings he had drawn and said his specific requirements.

Then, the special effects company started talking about modeling.

The first is to 3D scan the character model designed by Chen Hao, and after topology again, prepare for the next biological skeletal work through the geometric definition in MAYA.

Other teams then use Zbrush to texture hair, clothing, and other elements.

To put it simply, 2D images are processed in 3D and then transformed into real aliens through software.

Chen Hao doesn't know much about the specific operation, but he only needs to look at the final result.

At the same time, Chen Hao also arranged for the staff of Haotian Special Effects to assist in the work, which is the best opportunity to steal teachers and communicate after all.

After the special effects production starts to work normally, Chen Hao will start the casting of the new film.

First of all, nature is the core of the film, the male protagonist!

And Chen Hao has already made an appointment for the interview!

Walking into a café, Chen Hao looked around, and then saw Donnie standing up and signaling to him.

Chen Hao greeted with a smile: "Hey, how are you doing?"

Donnie stood up with a smile, stretched out his hands and gave Chen Hao a big hug: "I'm fine, what about you!"

"Looks like you've been really good lately. Chen Hao looked at Donnie with a smile.

Chen Hao feels that Downey's current mental state is better than that of Downey after filming "Chainsaw", and his eyes are full of brilliance, which was not seen during the filming of "Hurricane Rescue".

"Speaking of which, I have to thank you, Chen, for the good performances on the set of Saw and Hurricane Rescue, you know, I didn't touch drugs again, so I got a script other than you. Donnie shrugged and said happily.

"That's great. Chen Hao nodded when he heard this, which means that Hollywood has opened its arms to Downey again, "By the way, what script, did you get the role?"

Donnie laughed, "It depends on the results of this interview!"

Chen Hao was stunned when he heard this, and then reacted, it seems that Donnie's previous script should have just been received, and then it clashed with his new film.

Obviously, Downey chose Chen Hao first between the two scripts, although he has not yet won the role.

"Then should I be directly sure that it's you, lest you end up with a role on either side?" asked Chen Hao with a smile.

"How is that possible? I'm the one nominated for an Oscar!" laughed Donnie.

"Okay, then let's see how the Oscar nominees' acting skills are!" Chen Hao smiled.

"No problem, come on!" Donnie laughed.

For the sake of the film's secrecy, Downey will not see the specific script until the contract is signed.

However, the audition only needs to show your own acting skills, and it does not necessarily require a real movie script.

"Suppose you're just an ordinary person and you're going to kill some life, but you don't care at all, it's a very trivial thing in your eyes. It's even something to show off. Chen Hao said.

Downey nodded when he heard this, first thought quietly for a while, and then suddenly laughed with a look of banter.

"These poor fellows, I'm going to help them out now, and believe me, they won't feel any pain at all, because I'm an expert at this!"

"A little more restrained, not so ostentatious. Chen Hao said after observing Downey's performance.

To be honest, Donnie's performance just now directly reminded Chen Hao of the suave Iron Man, which is not ordinary enough!

"Don't be so handsome, so chic! This character is an honest person who loves his wife and family, just plain, even stupid.

The male protagonist is actually a small person, he has his own pressure, mainly in his career, and his father-in-law is the president, so his wife can be said to be married to him.

So, the male protagonist always wants to make some achievements, wants to show his ability, so that he can raise his head in front of his boss and father-in-law, and also let his wife be proud of him. Chen Hao said.

"Okay, I see. Donnie nodded, and then pondered for a while.

Immediately, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he smiled a little excitedly: "Look at these guys, it's so easy to kill them, it's so easy." ”

At the same time, Donnie flips his palms.

"If you just slighten it up, they'll all die! Hehe, I'm not handsome!"

Chen Hao couldn't help but nod when he saw this, worthy of being an Oscar nominee, Donnie understood it quickly, and immediately grasped the main point of the character.

Especially if you haven't read the script, it's good to be able to have this effect.
