Chapter 486: Sweet
Wei Hang didn't expect that today's visit would be quite hardcore at the beginning of the chat, and the detailed one of the two storyboards was quite comprehensive, even if it was a brief one, it focused on the key special effects details.
In addition, the content of Gan Jing's words is still very close to the world's top level, either he is really familiar with the special effects of the movie, or he has already made a lot of effort to understand it in advance.
"Mr. Gan, just said the special effects you want, well, the requirements are quite high. ”
"I roughly judged that it was quite difficult to make such a work, both technically and humanly. ”
"In addition, the film market is really an issue that must be considered. ”
Wei Hang said in a sincere tone: "Mr. Gan, whether it is from the position of Yu Gong or from the perspective of fans, I think that the shooting of science fiction films needs to be reconsidered. ”
Gan Jing smiled blindly: "100 million." ”
Wei Hang was stunned: "What, what?"
"Solid budget funding. Gan Jing didn't repeat the meaning of the numbers, and continued, "The budget for special effects accounts for more than 65%. ”
Wei Hang groaned: "This ......"
He thinks that Beijing Blu-ray has no experience in the production of science fiction films, is it a bit reckless to make such a big production at the beginning?
"If I were to play this "The Martian", the proportion could be higher, if I was replaced by Lao Zhang, it might not be as high as me, but it would be more than 65%. Gan Jing glanced slightly, "That is, if the brilliant special effects come to do this special effect, there will probably be a budget of 70 million or more." ”
Wei Hang took a breath lightly, even though the brilliant special effects are No.1 in China, but the past film productions are only filled, and the budget of 70 million will be the largest, after all, the budget of the film market has only been rising in the past two years.
"Mr. Gan, when it comes to budgeting at once, the progress is really fast. Wei Hang smiled bitterly, "I thought I could drink two glasses of wine before we could talk about this." ”
Gan Jing shrugged: "Because I know that the special effects company is still short of money, I don't want to go around in circles with you and say, well, are brilliant special effects profitable now?"
This sentence would sound a little offensive in ordinary times, but at this moment, when it comes out of Gan Jing's mouth, it seems like an inquiry, and it vaguely has a natural taste.
Wei Hang was uncertain for a while, and only after three seconds of delay did he vaguely admit: "Domestic special effects are really not very profitable." ”
"Yes, in fact, not only in China, but also in the world, the world's top special effects companies are not very profitable, this is an upstream and downstream problem. Gan Jing threw out a fact.
Zhang Zhonghui interjected: "The world's top ones don't make money?"
Wei Hang answered for Gan Jing, still smiling bitterly: "Just last month, PD Digital Shadow in the United States announced bankruptcy, it is one of the most famous special effects studios in the United States, focusing on 3D animation, and there are thousands of employees at the most......"
"Special effects are very difficult, don't look at the current effects are much higher than five or ten years ago, but the requirements for special effects in movies are also improving. Gan Jing took over, "Special effects companies need to update their technology and make profits, and it is not easy to do both." ”
Chu Hui opened her mouth: "But as an investor, if I choose special effects, I will definitely think of lowering the price." ”
Wei Hang shook his head: "Mr. Gan, didn't you form a group to count me down today." ”
"How come, I just want to say that if special effects companies want to make profits and make progress, they can only strive from the downstream to the upstream and participate in film and television investment. Gan Jing stretched out a finger, "Now there is an opportunity in front of the brilliance, Beijing Blu-ray welcomes the investment and joining of the brilliant special effects." ”
Weihang was instantly moved, brilliant special effects are not without opportunities to invest in movies, but firstly, the capital flow itself is very weak, and secondly, companies such as New Entertainment are unwilling to change the position of the special effects side, intentionally or unintentionally.
If you go to other companies, it may hurt Xinyu and Kangrun, and it also means betting on second- and third-tier resources.
Therefore, the brilliant special effects have always had some ideas to break through but have been slow to act.
People are downstream, and they can't help themselves.
Wei Hang controlled his emotions a little, and instead of answering directly, he laughed: "This matter is not something I can decide, Mr. Gan, don't you really want to drink a glass of wine?"
Gan Jing ignored Wei Hang's interruption in easing the atmosphere, and said seriously: "As long as the first movie goes well at the box office and does not lose money, Lao Zhang will cooperate with Beijing Blu-ray in the next five years to maintain the rhythm of one science fiction film per year." ”
"Every budget is as I just said. ”
"100 million, 65%. ”
"If the box office performance is good, Lao Zhang is still uncertain, but Beijing Blu-ray will increase the budget on the basis of 100 million at its discretion. ”
"Every year's sci-fi films will be roughly placed in July, which will be a sci-fi summer file, young people, students, and families will be the main movie-watching groups, and the market will be bigger and bigger. ”
"Needless to say, the past performance of Beijing Blu-ray is to provide high-quality scripts and stories, stable funds, cooperate with Zhang Zhonghui Studio to provide high-quality actors, Jinbai Records is responsible for film music, and also takes over part of the publicity, and finally adds the technical level of brilliant special effects, so as to form a production ecosystem of science fiction films. ”
Gan Jing asked in a tone full of demagogy, "Mr. Wei, how is it?"
Wei Hang was attracted by the picture depicted by Gan Jing, such a five-year science fiction plan, such a summer file, such a reasonable match, and such a rare opportunity......
His throat moved, and he almost agreed in one breath.
"It's, it's good. It was hard for Wei Hang to deny what Gan Jing said, he paused, re-read what he had just heard, and said decisively, "I will have a meeting to discuss this matter as soon as I go back." ”
Gan Jing nodded slightly, glanced at Chu Hui, and pointed to the red wine on the table: "Then as soon as possible, if it doesn't work, we also have to consider other special effects or foreign special effects companies." ”
Chu Hui opened the wine, poured four glasses of red wine and handed them to the people present, and then poured another cup of tea and handed it to Xie Jiang.
"After all, I actually know the situation of domestic special effects companies, and Xinyu is the benchmark for film and television companies to move forward. Gan Jing took the red wine and pointed out.
Wei Hang's heart sank, and he felt the pressure of Gan Jing's giving, especially the pressure after the blueprint was depicted.
Gan Jing raised his glass: "Come, I hope that the next time we drink together can be a celebration wine." ”
Xie Jiang, Zhang Zhonghui, Chu Hui, and Wei Hang raised their glasses together, and they all drank it all.
Then, they saw Gan Jing raise the red wine in his glass and did not move at all.
"Just get the meaning done. Gan Jing said innocently, "My daughter won't let me drink, oh, I hope we will drink Qinggong tea together next time." Mr. Wei, please, let's eat first, you don't have any taboos, right?"
Wei Hang shook his head.
The lunch was specially made by the chef at home, and it was full of sound and flavor.
It's just that at noon, Gan Jing talked about interesting things at the dinner table about taking his daughter to play in France, never mentioning the sci-fi film production just mentioned, and never mentioning the plans and investments that made Weihang very excited.
For lunch, Weihang didn't drink any more alcohol, but because he listened to Gan Jing's recording program and had some expectations for the broadcast.
"Mr. Gan, Director Xie, Mr. Zhang, Mr. Chu, I will leave first. ”
"I will give an intention to reply in these two days. ”
Wei Hang left Gan Jing's house, who came to the door for the first time, with excitement and trouble.
He walked on the road to review today's visit, and he was dizzy and couldn't say what kind of character Gan Jing was, but he felt that the pie he painted was really sweet.
