Chapter 855: Additional Investment (4100+ Chapters, Ask for Subscription~)
Although Zhu Xuan said that there is no major event in Yanjing, in fact, there is really one thing that can be regarded as a grand event in the domestic film industry this year!
That is the second Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival held in Yangcheng in September!
In fact, at this year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, Wu Jianye's "The World of Chu Xing" is the biggest hit, and was selected for the Best Feature Film Award, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Screenplay, and Best Cinematography Six awards!
Although the 2nd Golden Rooster Film Festival will not be held until September, in fact, the judges of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival have already started to watch, discuss and comment on the film in Huairou!
The chairman of the jury of this session is the former director of Bayi Film Studio, and his high rank is terrifying.
Originally, the biggest winner of this Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival should be Zhang Yimou's "Qiu Ju Fights a Lawsuit", but because this movie was advanced, it became the biggest winner at the first Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival last year!
With the gradual decline in the number of domestic moviegoers, the Golden Rooster Award and the Hundred Flowers Award decided to merge and become the current Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival!
"Shall we go before the film festival or after the film festival?" Zhu asked.
The movie "The World of Chu Xing" is the film with the most nominations at this film festival, Wu Jianye must be going to participate, in fact, before that, Director Xiao, who is the director of the jury of this year, specially called Wu Jianye and asked him to participate!
Director Xiao's face must not be refuted, so he still has to go.
"Let's go in advance, just go directly from Shimen to Yangcheng when the time comes!" Wu Jianye said after thinking for a while.
Zhu Yan said on a whim: "How about we bring Yiyi over too, let Yiyi stay there with Xiaoqing and them for a week, and when he starts school, I will take him back to Yanjing, and then you go back to your hometown to accompany your mother for a while?"
Wu Jianye thought about it, it's also good, but there is still one thing that is more difficult to do, that is, the problem of framing the new movie, but Wu Jianye thinks about it, and is not in a hurry to determine the framing, and now the news from Tan Yang's side, Li Yapeng and Yu Feihong still have to train for a while, and Liang Zhengting and Huang Zilu still have a lot of work to do.
Judging from the current progress, the new movie will definitely not start filming until next year!
"I think it's okay, so let's do it, I'll arrange this matter for the next two days!"
Zhu Yan was also very happy to see that Wu Jianye had no opinion.
Wu Nianyi, who was directly dragged over and nested on the side to watch TV, asked, "Yiyi, mom and dad will take you to find more children to play, okay?"
Wu Nianyi said directly: "Mom, I don't want to go to school!"
Wu Jianye: "......"
Zhu Yan was also full of black lines, grinding his teeth and said: "It's not to go to school, it's to play with many children!"
Wu Nianyi looked at Zhu Yan with some disbelief and asked, "Is it really just to play?"
"Really!"
At this time, Wu Jianye felt that he heard the sound of grinding his teeth.
"Okay then!" Wu Nianyi said happily.
Wu Jianye glanced at Wu Nianyi helplessly, even if you don't agree to this kind of thing, you can't be the master!
.......
The next day, Wu Jianye came to Tangting Culture, but this time Wu Jianye did not go to the three-story building, but went to the new Tangting Building that had just entered the use next to it!
In July, the decoration had been completed here, and Xia Xiaohong called Wu Jianye, originally hoping that Wu Jianye could preside over the relocation ceremony, but at that time, Wu Jianye was filming with Zhao Fei and others, so let Xia Xiaohong and others move by themselves.
Regarding Wu Jianye's decision, Xia Xiaohong was also helpless.
At this time, Wu Jianye didn't care more and more about these formal things!
At this time, Wu Jianye saw a 21-story building in front of him, and the style of this building was somewhat similar to the Twin Towers in Zhongguancun, but it was not as magnificent as the Twin Towers, and from the outside it looked like a three-story chassis, holding up the two 18-story buildings above.
Compared to the Twin Towers, it doesn't occupy much of an area.
The overall color is dark blue.
At this time, Xia Xiaohong, Li Xiaowan, and Huang Jianxin were already waiting for Wu Jianye at the door.
"It's finally a shotgun, not bad!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Because Xia Xiaohong had been Wu Jianye's secretary before, many times, when Xia Xiaohong, Li Xiaowan, and Huang Jianxin appeared together, Xia Xiaohong and Wu Jianye communicated.
"Director Wu, now that we have all moved over, I have discussed with Mr. Li and Mr. Huang, let's hold a relocation ceremony when the people from your side come over, right?" Xia Xiaohong asked.
The special effects company, the TV department, the film department, the animation department, the music department, the artist department and other dignified cultural departments have now moved over, except for some employees on the third floor where Wu Jianye now works.
Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago, I won't move over there, I'll leave it to you here!"
Wu Jianye is still used to the three-story building before him, and he doesn't want to move anymore!
Xia Xiaohong said embarrassedly: "But if that's the case, we ......"
"Alright, that's it. Wu Jianye waved his hand and walked in directly.
The first floor was a huge hall, and the two front deskers had already stood up and waited for Wu Jianye and the others.
Wu Jianye just glanced at the environment here, and asked Xia Xiaohong, "What floor is the special effects company?"
With the special effects team moving over, they also officially spun off Tangting Culture and formed their own company, but it was fully controlled by Tangting Culture.
"Thirteenth floor!" Xia Xiaohong replied.
Wu Jianye smiled: "Let's go, I'm here for them this time!"
Accompanied by the three of them, Wu Jianye went directly to the elevator and went straight to the special effects company on the thirteenth floor.
Liang Zhengting and Huang Zilu were already waiting for Wu Jianye at the elevator door.
"How is it, the environment here is similar to the digital realm this time, right?" Wu Jianye quipped after seeing the two of them.
The smile on Liang Zhengting's face perfectly explains what it means to be proud of the spring breeze, "It's much stronger, much stronger than the digital field!"
Wu Jianye said: "Let's go, take me to see the results of your work during this time!"
Xia Xiaohong, Li Xiaowan, and Huang Jianxin looked at Wu Jianye so interested, and they still had some fun in their hearts.
The establishment of the special effects of the court still gave them a sense of crisis in their hearts, which can be seen from Wu Jianye's investment in the special effects of the court.
The registered capital of the entire court special effects is 40 million US dollars!
Not only that, but the speed at which they spend money is the envy of these three people, in just half a year, they have spent nearly 40 million yuan!
If it weren't for Wu Jianye pressing here, it is estimated that if he had changed to another company, he would have exploded a long time ago!
Wu Jianye followed Liang Zhengting and Huang Zilu to the model room!
The model room is about the size of a basketball court, and when Wu Jianye walked in, he could already see that there were many people working hard, and in the corner of the model room, there were some models that had been made.
Liang Zhengting came here with Wu Jianye and the others, pointed to the beast in front of him, with an excited smile on his face, and said, "Director Wu, this is the model of the unicorn!"
Lion head, antlers, tiger eyes, elk body, dragon scales, oxtail.
With the hideous expression it made, Wu Jianye had the shock of seeing a dinosaur model for the first time.
With both hands on it, you can even clearly feel the layering of the scales on its body.
"Not bad, very good!" Wu Jianye sincerely admired, such a Chinese divine beast, if it is handed over to a foreigner to do, it will definitely not be able to do such charm!
"This is a model of Xuanwu!" Liang Zhengting pointed to the giant turtle model next to him, and the smile on his face was still undiminished.
Wu Jianye had returned to normal at this time, and said with a smile: "You don't need to introduce them one by one, I'll guess for myself, this is the White Tiger." ”
Next to Xuanwu, a tiger with white hair and a pair of wings is obviously a white tiger with one of the four spirits.
"Why are there only two of the four spirits?" Wu Jianye did not find the model of the green dragon and the vermilion bird.
Liang Zhengting smiled and said, "Because the manufacturing of Qinglong and Vermilion Bird is more time-consuming, and we haven't found suitable substitutes for some parts, so we ........"
Wu Jianye nodded, expressing understanding, and then asked, "Is the computer model made?"
There are not only unicorns, Xuanwu, and white tigers here, but also other sacred beasts of the Mountains and Seas, such as the white ape on Tangting Mountain, the cunning dream (huai) on Yaoguang Mountain, and the Xuan (huan) on Yiwang Mountain, etc., there are about 20 divine beasts that have been formed!
Liang Zhengting immediately said: "Part of it has already been made!"
Wu Jianye hurriedly said, "Take me to see it!"
When he walked out of the model room, Wu Jianye saw that in the center of the room, several people were putting scales on a beast that was almost four or five meters long, and it was obvious that it should be the green dragon!
Liang Zhengting took Wu Jianye and others to the computer special effects room again.
Although it is not as big as the model room just now, it is more lively, and you can see a lot of people busy here, and at the same time, there are all kinds of papers of mythical beasts that have been drawn on their tables.
Liang Zhengting said: "After the establishment of the special effects company, we recruited some students in the Academy of Fine Arts, and at the same time hired several professors, who drew pictures of various mythical beasts for us, and our model team and computer special effects team will also be combined according to the mythical beasts they draw.......
"You don't need to tell me this, I'll just ask you if you have enough manpower?"
Liang Zhengting smiled bitterly and said, "Director Wu, tell the truth, it's not enough!"
Wu Jianye immediately said to Xia Xiaohong: "Send some people from the animation team to come over." ”
What else could Xia Xiaohong say at this time, she could only nod her head and agree!
Several people came to Liang Zhengting's office, and on his computer, they finally saw the effect of computer animation.
At first glance, Wu Jianye knew that Liang Zhengting and others were not wasted in the digital field, and simply looking at these effects, it was no worse than the original "Jurassic Park"!
At this time, Liang Zhengting began to introduce a divine beast and a divine beast for Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye was also listening carefully, and finally asked, "When will it be over?"
At this time, Huang Zilu finally spoke: "If you make all the divine beasts on the Book of Mountains and Seas, it will be impossible in three or four years, but if you complete those that Director Wu explained, we are confident that they will be completed by the end of this year." ”
"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news!"
At this time, Wu Jianye was finally relieved!
However, not everything is smooth, for example, now Liang Zhengting has raised his own question: "Director Wu, the special effects cost of 85 million is estimated to be insufficient, according to our calculations, even if the special effects of these divine beasts are completed, it will already cost nearly 80 million, if you add other special effects you add to the movie, 85 million will definitely not be enough!"
Wu Jianye has calculated before that the shooting cost of the new movie, the use of special effects, including remuneration and others, is almost 15 million, and the cost of the entire special effects is 85 million, and now Liang Zhengting has proposed that it is not enough!
Wu Jianye asked directly, "How much more?"
"At least 25 million!" Liang Zhengting was not polite.
Xia Xiaohong and the three of them on the side, their faces changed slightly, the production cost of the entire movie calculated by Wu Jianye before was already a staggering 100 million yuan, and now Liang Zhengting actually wants to directly increase the cost of special effects to 100 million, how can they not be surprised!
Wu Jianye said: "I'll give you 30 million, just one request, the special effects of the movie can only be stronger than "Jurassic Park", not worse than him!"
This means that in China, labor and the like are cheap, and if it is done in North America, it is estimated that the cost will have to be doubled.
Liang Zhengting heard that Wu Jianye was so supportive, and immediately smiled and said, "Director Wu, I dare to make a military order with you!"
"Good!"
When Wu Jianye came out of the special effects in the hall, he returned to his third floor, and Huang Jianxin also followed.
"Is there something wrong?" Wu Jianye looked at Huang Jianxin's appearance and asked.
"Director Wu, I just watched the special effects made by the court, and it is indeed very shocking, but have you ever thought that the style of these divine beasts is a little too ......." Huang Jianxin organized his language and continued: "It's too real and terrifying, will it scare some audiences?"
This is not that Huang Jianxin is jealous of Liang Zhengting and others, but from his own professional point of view, the current domestic mythological dramas are more about making these mythical beasts less real and terrifying, and he is worried that the current audience will not be able to accept it!
Wu Jianye smiled: "You don't have to worry about this, what I want is this effect, if something goes wrong with this, I will be responsible!"
In fact, this style is exactly the style that Wu Jianye demanded, whether it is a divine beast or a fierce beast, in mythology, they have never been known for their cuteness.
And.......
"The bigger market for this film is for overseas. Wu Jianye said.
The reason why "Jurassic Park" is successful is that it really shows the dinosaurs of the Cretaceous century to a global audience?
