After finishing the small meeting with Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei, Tang An went through the entire material a little more in the afternoon.

In the afternoon, I went to the North and South Brothers Culture to see the progress of the special effects.

If you wait for the editing to be done and then do the special effects, it will definitely be too late.

In fact, for some places that need to be done with special effects, Tang An shipped the materials to him after filming, and they edited and produced special effects.

Independent scenes, grasp the time, and there will be no conflicts, at most, it will take two or three days to edit it again.

This time, it was not only Xiao Yang's north-south culture that contracted the production of special effects, but also the heads of several other companies who discussed the problems of special effects together.

Coincidentally, the other three companies and studios were one of the components of Tiangong Yingcai later.

This is also one of the best private special effects teams in China in the future, and it is still very immature.

It's a pity that Tang An has no money, otherwise he could have recruited them all.

Don't look at it as a special effect of tens of millions, and later "Havoc in Heaven" cost hundreds of millions, and this money seems to be very profitable.

In people's impression, isn't it just the use of computers, computers are only a few dollars, and labor is cheap.

In fact, Tang An could have spent twenty or thirty million to combine the four of them, but if he didn't invest a huge amount of money in the future, it would be impossible to reach the scale that he later did, and it would be a medium-sized special effects company.

Financing is a must, and later Tiangong Pictures also accepted a large amount of foreign capital, including Wang Zhonglei, Chen Guozhang, Feng Xiaogang and other groups, and they couldn't get control at all.

In this case, it is better to wait for them to be officially established next year and buy shares when they are short of money.

To really develop to the scale that followed, the initial investment in hardware and software alone would be at least 30 million yuan.

The salaries of hundreds of employees are millions a month.

A computer costs tens of thousands, and it has to be replaced every three or four years, and special workstations, storage arrays, and huge power consumption are all great expenses.

And it's not something that dozens of computers can do, such as "Transformers", if it is made with one computer, it will take at least hundreds of years!

A large special effects company needs at least 100 computers, and top special effects companies like Weta Digital and Industrial Light & Magic have at least 1,000 top-level computers, each of which costs tens of thousands of dollars.

In other words, every three to five years, they have to replace a batch of computers worth tens of millions of dollars.

It's just part of the hardware, there's also the software.

You may have to ask, does the software still cost money?

You think it's a love of editing!

How can it be free for you!

CG genuine software is generally not permanent, it has to be charged annually, and there are many software used to make CG, which are not cheap.

For example, Weta Digital costs nearly 200 million Renming coins a year on a renderer.

That's just the amount of money spent on the renderer, not counting other production software.

After exchanging his opinions and ideas, Tang An handed over the special effects production to them, no longer asked, and concentrated on editing.

In the evening, I went to Xu Yanyun's house to see if there was anything in the studio that needed him to come forward.

"I'll probably stay at Huayi for the next month, and if there are any documents to sign in the studio, bring them over. ”

Eat dinner, recline on the sofa, and enjoy the last leisure.

"Don't you come back, just sleep in Huayi?" Xu Yanyun went to the study to get a few documents and handed them over.

"I had people leave an empty room next to the editing room, build a bed, and deal with it. ”

After a little look, I signed the words by brushing the ground.

"Is there anything else I need to do?"

""Wolf's Teeth" will be launched in two days, and Xu Zheng's script for "People in Embarrassment" is still being changed, do you want to take a look at it then?"

"I won't go to the launch conference of "Wolf Teeth", you just come forward, tell Wu Jing that I will wait for him in the capital to come back to celebrate, and you will leave "People in Embarrassment" to Xu Zheng to do it, the actor let him decide for himself, just supervise the finances. ”

There are no important roles in the two movies, and Tang An doesn't need to interfere.

"But only give them the right to shoot, and the other aspects are stricter, if the two movies can't be managed, bring Zhao Lei, Xu Tao, Wang Zhenguo and a few of them, they are all old producers, and they can be trusted after working together for so long. ”

Blindly delegating power will not make people grateful, the other party is more likely to inch in, and let others know about your existence at all times, even if you have never appeared.

It's like the phrase in "Super Body", "I'm everywhere"!

Work is going to start tomorrow, and Tang An goes to bed early.

As they approached a month-long retreat, both of them seized their last moments to enjoy the evening.

Gently knead and slowly twist and wipe and pick up, at first for "Ni Dress" and then "Six Pieces".

The big strings are noisy like a torrential rain, and the small strings are like whispers.

Noisy and staggered, big beads and small beads fall on the jade plate.

The bottom of the flower is slippery, and it is difficult to go under the drift ice of the secluded spring.

The silver bottle burst through the water slurry, and the iron rider stood out with the sound of knives and guns.

......

The next day I got up a little late, and I didn't know who was playing the pipa last night, and the thief was unpleasant.

Even if it's ugly, it played until more than two o'clock in the morning, and I didn't sleep well.

drove to Huayi, and it was already more than 9 o'clock when I arrived.

This time, I met Li Binbin in the lobby again, but compared to the smile on his face last time, he looked unhappy.

"What's the matter, Binbin, who messed with you?" Tang An walked up and said with a smile.

Li Binbin glanced back when he heard this, "It's nothing, there is an endorsement that hasn't been taken down, but why are you not in good spirits?"

"Oh, isn't this the beginning of the late stage, it was very late yesterday. ”

"You now have more than a dozen endorsements in your hands, one less is one less!" Tang An smiled.

It is Gucci's spokesperson for Asia, and Wang Dong only talked about Wang Xiaoming's male spokesperson. Li Binbin said with some unhappiness.

"Who's that female spokesperson?"

"Nobody, Gucci only needs a man this time. ”

"What's so unhappy about that, you can't be a man. Tang An shrugged.

"I know, it's just a little depressed, this level of endorsement is hard to find, and I don't know if there is a chance. Li Binbin shook his head.

"Yes, don't worry. ”

However, it took 4 years to wait, and then Gucci paid more and more attention to the domestic market, and even donated the national treasure rat head and rabbit head to the country in order to expand its influence in China, and asked for a large-scale donation ceremony, and the boss of the Ministry of Culture and China personally participated in the donation ceremony.

You must know that these two national treasures were auctioned at the Kedexers auction house in 09, and at that time, despite the protests of the Ministry of Foreign Education, the other party did not withdraw the auction.

The majority shareholder of this Gedex auction house is the French Pinault family, which owns the world's third largest luxury brand "Kering".

Gucci is a brand under the Kering Group.

To put it bluntly, because when the news of their refusal to withdraw the auction came back to China, some netizens began to call on consumers to boycott Kering's brands, and the image fell for a while, and returning the national treasure was just to save the image, after all, it is a top luxury brand.

The year before, Gucci hired Binbin Lai as the spokesperson for the Asian region, and the following year he was promoted to the global spokesperson.

But this was all after she left Huayi and met Wendy Deng, when Wendy Deng and Zhang Ziyi turned against each other.

The heroine of "Snowflake Secret Fan" is said to be Zhang Ziyi, but for some reason, Wendy Deng finally invited Li Binbin to play.

The relationship between women is far more complicated than between men.

"By the way, a bed was transported in next door to the editing room, are you going to live in the company?" Li Binbin asked again.

"That's right, eating, drinking, and sleeping are all in the company, who made me so dedicated. Tang An said rather stinky.

"Don't say it so disgustingly, okay. Li Binbin pursed his lips in disgust.

"That's... I'll look for you at night when no one is around?"

"Forget it, I work twelve hours a day, don't break my body. Tang An smiled bitterly and shook his head.

In Li Binbin's laughter, Tang An walked into the editing room, and two of the editing rooms worked as assistants for him, and he began to get busy.

Just when Tang An'an devoted himself wholeheartedly to his work, some small things happened in the outside world.

Action star Wu Jing's self-directed and self-starred "Wolf Teeth" was launched, at this time he was just an ordinary star, at most second-tier, and no one paid attention to it.

Although the investor of the film, the great director Tang An, did not appear, which disappointed Wu Jing, who was about to ask him for advice, the movie still started smoothly.

In the Atlantic New City of Beijing, Xu Zheng is revising the script at home.

The first time he directed a movie, Xu Zheng's script has been changed twice from the original.

Without the permission of the investor, he did not change the main plot, but carefully refined the side details.

And this plot is very interesting, and he can't find anything suitable to replace it.

Halfway through the morning, little Tao Hong handed half an apple before going to cook.

"Let's take a break and eat an apple. ”

"I don't have time, I have to get the script out as soon as possible and form the crew. ”

Xu Zheng stretched out his head, bit it in his mouth, and said vaguely.

Xiao Tao Hong came from the kitchen when he heard this, tied an apron and held a kitchen knife, and said strangely, "Didn't you say that you are not in a hurry, the theme of the Spring Festival will be in time for the Spring Festival in 10 years." ”

Xu Zheng bit off half of it, swallowed it twice, bit off the other half, and threw the core on the table.

"10 years is too far away, I'm going to release it during the Spring Festival next year!"

"No one is in a hurry, what are you anxious about?"

"This is an opportunity, I don't want to wait another year, you look at the rats, after filming "Crazy Stone", you will become a dark horse director and a leader of the new generation of directors. ”

"It seems that Tang An wore these two hats after his first movie, right?" said Xiao Tao Hong, after thinking about it.

"That's right, it was Lu Chuan, Tang An, and Ning Hao before, maybe one will pop up this year, and another one will come next year. ”

"Do you see any new directors emerging in the past two years? Not a single one, the competition in the schedule is too fierce now, not to mention the summer and Chinese New Year files, there are several blockbusters in March and April, and if you don't hurry up, you won't have a chance!"

"Whatever you want, you used to like directors in the theater, and you didn't make a name for yourself. Little Tao Hong put away the pits and went on cooking.

"Alas, don't say frustrating words, I have a hunch, this film will definitely be popular, the theme of the Spring Festival, easy to resonate with the audience!"

......

In mid-May, a video suddenly appeared on the homepage of major video websites, with the title "The latest trailer of "Shocking Demon Thieves". ”

There's a new trailer coming out again?

Many of the found videos were immediately clicked in, staring at the screen expectantly.

It seemed to be in an abandoned warehouse-like place, full of people, even the iron shelves around it.

There is a large water tank in the middle, which looks like it is supposed to be performing a magic trick.

Escape magic is right!

Sure enough, then Tang Yan appeared in a leather skirt, tied his hands and feet, and the two people next to him ripped off the leather skirts on their bodies, revealing the cute leather vests and leather shorts inside.

The looming hook, the sturdy lower abdomen is full of grips, and the long white straight legs are exposed underneath.

However, before the audience in front of the computer could enjoy it for two seconds, Tang Yan fell into the water tank.

then unchained to escape, and the camera also gave a close-up shot of the murder, the lower abdomen, and the thighs.

Grunt!

I don't know how many people swallowed their saliva on the computer and were ready to lick the screen.

But the next moment, everyone's throats were about to rise.

Tang Yan didn't untie the chain, and when the time came, the tank full of piranhas above poured down, instantly flooding Tang Yan, and the tank turned scarlet.

The video came to an abrupt end.

"Rub!"

"Nima"

", looking at Shi Geng, I almost got scared again!"

The audience in front of the computer invariably began to scold the mother again.

"Did you watch the trailer just now, and it scared the hell out of me!"

"Me too, I thought it was an ordinary escape magic, and I was ready to appreciate that no one was out of the bath, but it turned out to be like this!"

"Tang An, your uncle, how did the magic movie that you said become a horror movie again!"

"Tang An's words are not credible, they are science fiction and horror, don't make a hodgepodge!"

......

A week later, another promotional video appeared, following Tang Yan's death in Yukou, Deng Kai also died in a car accident.

The two protagonists died in a row, and now the audience is not calm.

"Okay, it's really become a horror movie, Tang An is really going to return to his old job!"

"I can finally see Tang An's horror films again, in the past two years, there have been more and more domestic horror films, and there have been more and more bad movies, and they are all about to vomit!"

"What kind of ghost horror movie to watch, it's better to have a new theme, there are new ideas!"

"If you want to see magic, you might as well watch David Copperfield's video!"

"It's so exciting, it's going to become a horror and suspense movie, I don't know if Liu Ye will die in the next trailer!"

However, to the disappointment of some viewers, the next trailer is a decent magic, and there is nothing amazing except for Tang Yan flying up in a bubble.

Just on June 15th, when the summer vacation was approaching, another trailer appeared.

The banknotes flying all over the sky stimulated all the viewers who watched the video.

Many viewers who didn't attend the live filming finally understood what it was like to be talking about them.

Think about it, countless banknotes fall from the top of your head, around you, everywhere under your feet, and you wish you were one of them, and put all this money in your pocket.

Three trailers were released one after another, and now the one that the audience is looking forward to the most is released when the summer season is approaching, and everyone smells a little unusual.

That's the smell of gunsmoke!

Early the next morning, Huayi's official website officially announced that "Shocking Demon Thieves" is scheduled for July 17 and will meet the audience in the summer file!

At the same time, China Film Group on Xinjiekouwai Street, Haidian District.

In an office, a voice filled with suppressed anger was heard.

"Wang Zhongjun, what does he want to do!"

......

8,000 words completed, in time for 12 o'clock!
