Chapter Ninety-Seven: Give Me Special Effects!

"Are you really director Qin Yupeng?" Xiao Jun replied to the other party with a private message.

A minute later, Qin Yupeng was overjoyed when he saw Xiao Jun reply. He has been guarding Douyin in his mobile phone all day, in order to see if the other party has seen his private messages. I didn't expect good luck, and the other party replied!

"Really, pearls aren't that real! If you don't believe me, we can have a private video call. Qin Yupeng said with a smile.

After seeing that the other party said this, Xiao Jun believed it for 7 points.

"Is there anything you want me to do?" Xiao Jun asked.

"That's right, I watched your [Nine Dragons Pulling Coffin] special effects video on Douyin, and I felt too shocked. Is this your original video?" Qin Yupeng asked with some excitement.

This special effects video really shocked him, and he felt like he had seen such a realistic special effects video for the first time in so many years!

"Yes. ”

"Are you doing special effects professionally?" Qin Yupeng planned to get to know the other party first. After all, he didn't know if the other party belonged to someone who made an animation special effects studio, or someone from an animation special effects company. Or still personally!

"I'm just a prospective college student who has just been admitted to the computer science major. These special effects are all self-taught by me!" Xiao Jun knew very well why the other party wanted to inquire about him. After all, the people who can make awesome special effects are basically employees or founders of studios or animation special effects companies.

You know, the job of doing animation special effects is still very promising, and the salary is quite high.

"Oh, I see, can I get to know you?" Qin Yupeng was both shocked and surprised. He never imagined that an amateur could make such awesome special effects. Is the other party a super genius?

"Xiao Jun!"

"Here's the thing, after I saw your [Kowloon Coffin], I was going to ask you to make some special effects shots for my new movie. I think you're up to the task! But I'm sorry to hear you say you're alone! You should know that it takes two weeks or more to make a 10-second special effects video. It's a pity that you don't have a team, otherwise I plan to cooperate with you!" Qin Yupeng confessed. His Xiao Jun's technology is definitely the best in the world. There is no problem at all with special effects for his films. But the other party is just one person, and if his special effects shots are handed over to him to make them, it is estimated that they will not be completed in a year. I can't wait for his movie to come out!

"Oh...... I only used three days for the video of my Nine Dragons pulling the coffin. Xiao Jun knew at this moment that the other party was looking for himself to make special effects for the other party. He suddenly discovered that it seems that making special effects is also a way to make a fortune and start a business!

"What? It only took three days! How could it be?" Qin Yupeng showed a look of shock. Like [Kowloon Coffin], the world's top and even so far the most realistic special effects video, 15 seconds only takes 3 days?

Even if it is handed over to those top international special effects teams, it will take more than half a month for dozens of them to work together, right?

"Yes, I won't explain the process to you. Xiao Jun smiled slightly.

"Let's have a chat. ”

After the two added their contact information, they continued to chat.

"Oh yes, I was so abrupt just now. I didn't even ask if you were interested in doing special effects for me! I'm so embarrassed, I'm so excited. Qin Yupeng said apologetically. He is a person who only looks at the results and not the process. As long as the other party can complete it within the time frame he requires, he feels that there is no problem at all!

"Haha, it's okay, I'm still quite interested in doing special effects. Xiao Jun said.

"Little brother Xiao Jun, I don't know if you have any other special effects videos, can you show them to me?" Qin Yupeng already had the intention of cooperating. He wanted to see the other footage videos of the other party. Reconfirm some of the other person's abilities.

"No problem, I just made a new special effects video, and I'll send it to you right now. Xiao Jun immediately sent the 10-second video of [blowing up the moon] to the other party.

When Qin Yupeng finished reading it, the whole person was shocked again!

"Great! This special effects technology can completely beat those top special effects production companies in Hollywood!" Qin Yupeng couldn't help but admire. In particular, [Blow Up the Moon] has special effects about technological weapons. And the weapon-tech special effects that his new film needs belong to the same genre. He felt that Xiao Jun had no problem doing special effects for his new movie!

"Thank you!"

"Little brother Xiao Jun, give special effects to my new movie [Best Agent]!" Qin Yupeng immediately threw an olive branch to Xiao Jun.

The reason why Qin Yupeng is looking for a newcomer to do special effects is that there is no team behind him. The reason why he dared to be so bold was because he saw the other party's technology! This technology can completely beat Hollywood's top special effects technology. Why didn't he take the risk?

The most important one is that he is currently negotiating the price with a domestic first-class special effects company, and the other party's asking price is 60,000 seconds for the special effects video!

The price was too expensive for him!

First of all, the total investment of its [Best Agent] is about 60 million, not counting the blockbuster investment, but only the medium-cost investment.

Among them, the main actors of the film accounted for 2000 of the salary.

This salary is very small for other movies!

You must know that a movie with a general investment of 60 million can hire big-name stars or popular small fresh meat. Generally, those big-name stars or popular little fresh meat have a salary of about 30 million.

And all his actors add up to only 20 million, which is not as much as the salary of a popular Xiaoxin meat!

The remaining 40 million, of which 30 million belong to the cost of filming, as well as the cost of advertising and promotion before the release.

The last 10 million he used for special effects!

He knows very well that special effects are a very important part of a movie!

Considering that the cost of special effects is not very much, he will feel that the price of 60,000 seconds is too expensive. His film is 90 minutes long, and 60 of the scenes require special effects.

However, the shots that need that kind of big special effects are only less than 3 minutes! This is also the reason why the special effects investment in this movie is only 10 million, mainly because there are few big special effects shots, and there is no need for too much investment!

But this part of the big special effects is the most money-burning, so you need to find a domestic first-class special effects company to do it. As long as the remaining 57 minutes of special effects are small special effects, or even five cents special effects, you can do it. So you can find those domestic second-rate special effects companies to make it. And the price is also very cheap, many special effects shots are only 1,000 to 3,000 yuan a second. In this way, he found a special effects company to produce it separately, and the advantage was that he could save a lot of money. If all the special effects are handed over to a first-class company, those small special effects will be more expensive than the small company, and it will definitely not be cost-effective.

What he's missing now is the big special effects problem of those 3 minutes.

That is, the current problem of not negotiating with the price of the domestic first-class special effects company.

Although the other party is a first-class special effects company in China, the opening is 60,000 seconds, and 3 minutes is more than 10 million!

He also wants to find a special effects company in Hollywood to produce, but the average price of the first-class special effects company in Hollywood is 100,000 RMB per second, and even the top special effects company charges 180,000 RMB per second, he can't afford it!
