Chapter 301: Preparing the Crew (Adding a Shift for 'Drunken Old Dragon')
Now every time Sister Mei comes, the driver sends her downstairs, and she comes up by herself.
Ma Xiaoyang was watching a video on the computer, and when he found Sister Mei coming, he said hello: "Sister Mei is here?"
Asian businessmen always called 'Sister Mei', and Sister Mei immediately responded sweetly with a smile on her face: "It's here." ”
Ma Xiaoyang turned the computer around, clicked on the video made by the Dream Light and Magic team, and said: "Sister Mei, look, this is a special effects video made by a company in our incubation park with computer technology. ”
Ma Xiaoyang enlarged the picture, and Sister Mei also came to the screen to look at it carefully.
The video is not long, it is less than a minute, and it is finished in a blink of an eye, Sister Mei took the mouse and clicked on it again to replay it. Sister Mei has a lot of film artists, so she naturally understands the preciousness of movie special effects, and she also understands the 'reason' why Ma Xiaoyang came over by herself.
"Mr. Ma, do you want me to help them promote this technology to the film industry?"
Ma Xiaoyang shook his head and said: "Don't use the promotion for the time being, I have a better way, I came to you because I want Sister Mei to help me pull up a movie crew, and I want to use special effects to make a big movie." ”
Sister Mei said in surprise: "What, Mr. Ma, you want to make a movie?"
Ma Xiaoyang smiled and said: "That's right, it's still a big movie that plans to invest more than one billion." ”
Sister Mei continued to say in surprise: "Is it to promote this special effects technology?" Sister Mei believes that there is no other reason for people like Ma Xiaoyang to make movies, because this is Ma Xiaoyang in her cognition.
Ma Xiaoyang smiled and said: "This can be regarded as part of the reason, and the current cinema line has not been opened, Xiyingmen wants to build its own cinema line, and I will make a movie for them to help the fun." ”
As for the reason for giving domestic films a 'proper name', Ma Xiaoyang will not tell outsiders, he is just laughing and generous, because he is not a person in the film industry at all, and he wants to make a movie that can be well received in the world, which is as ridiculous as a fool's dream in the eyes of insiders, even if he is Ma Xiaoyang, the chairman of Asia Commercial Investment.
"This video is synthesized using the latest technology of Fantasy Light & Magic, and the 'characters' in it are all real facial expressions captured through technology, and the same is true for the movements, what do you think of such technology?"
Sister Mei said: "Of course it's very powerful, the special effects of those foreign sci-fi blockbusters are not as delicate as in the video, right?"
Ma Xiaoyang said with a smile: "That's right, because it is 3D technology, that is to say, this kind of video supports the most advanced 3D theaters now, and in the theaters that Xiyingmen is going to launch, each theater will have a large 3D movie screening hall."
And the movie I want to make is a 3D sci-fi special effects blockbuster that will be shown in this kind of 3D theater. ”
Sister Mei is not very interested in the 3D special effects sci-fi blockbuster in Ma Xiaoyang's mouth, she is more interested in the cinema line of Xiyingmen, what the cinema line resources represent for the film industry and how important it is, as the first sister in the industry, Sister Mei is too clear.
If she can get the connections of Xiyingmen Cinema, then her actors will take a big advantage when competing for movie roles. And where do the connections come from, Asia Business Investment, it is said that Zhang Wei and Mr. Zhou of Xiyingmen both came from Xiangjiang, and their personal relationship is very good, it just so happens that she and Zhang Wei are also familiar with each other, isn't this just on the line!
Therefore, this big movie created by Mr. Ma for the Xiyingmen 3D movie screening hall, coupled with her relationship with Zhang Wei, is a shortcut for her to catch Mr. Zhou of Xiyingmen.
Thinking of this, Sister Mei said to Ma Xiaoyang: "Mr. Ma, what do you want from this crew?"
Ma Xiaoyang spread his hands and said, "I don't know anything about the film industry. Ma Xiaoyang pointed to his head and said, "I just want to realize the ideas and pictures in my head and turn them into movies." ”
Sister Mei nodded, indicating that she understood. Sister Mei really understands that when Mr. Ma sees the new technology, he imagines some movie plots in his mind, which is just to find someone to realize it.
So this so-called crew was born completely to realize Ma Xiaoyang's ideas, the director and actors can't have too many ideas of their own, but they must also be empathetic and have high technical skills, so they can't make it difficult for this big guy to communicate with them.
Therefore, Sister Mei's definition of this film project is that this is a big movie project in which a group of professional people accommodated Ma Xiaoyang, an amateur super producer.
Sister Mei paused for a moment and said, "Wait, Mr. Ma, how much do you say you invested in this movie?"
Ma Xiaoyang said: "At least one billion, what's wrong?"
Sister Mei pinched herself hard under the table, only then did she confirm that she was not dreaming. Sister Mei is depressed, she has been messing with Asia Business Investment for a long time, and she always listens to Zhang Wei and Ma Xiaoyang discussing some work in units of 100 million.
But what I didn't expect now was that such a good thing in hundreds of millions of dollars actually fell on her head, and she was almost ignored by her, which is simply unforgivable, and then pinch yourself first.
Sister Mei looked at Ma Xiaoyang and asked, "Do you mean the production cost of the movie by one billion, does it include the expenses such as publicity in the later stage?"
Ma Xiaoyang said with a smile: "Putting my name on the film is better than any advertisement, Sister Mei, are you right?"
What else can Sister Mei say, Ma Xiaoyang is telling the truth. Sister Mei thought that even if Ma Xiaoyang was working for two hours, it was estimated that putting it in the cinema would cause a wave of movie-watching craze.
Ma Xiaoyang continued: "One billion is just a planned investment, I think this movie can be won within two billion, I can accept it." However, most of this money will be used for special effects production and scene layout, and the salary of the actors and crew, I can only guarantee that it is higher than that of the same industry, but it will not be too much.
And because my movie will use a lot of special effects, the actors don't need too long to leave the country. ”
Sister Mei listened to Ma Xiaoyang's words and smiled secretly, this Mr. Ma really doesn't know how to do it, even if you don't use special effects, how long can a movie give an actor to leave the country, even if it is the leading actor, it can be considered a long time for more than half of the time, it is already the kind of movie that highlights the starring role.
Besides, as long as this movie is led by Ma Xiaoyang, chairman of Asia Commercial Investment, and you write the script, you participate in the production, and you have to invest 100 to 2 billion yuan, what kind of level is this kind of movie in the film industry?
It is estimated that the spontaneous hype surrounding this movie by public opinion may be more exciting than the movie itself!14
