Chapter 174: The Special Effect of Burning Money

The TV series filmed by Qidong Media this year are currently on "Palace Lock Bead Curtain", "Angel's Temptation", "Naked Marriage Era", "The Happy Life of Golden Wolf", "Adoptive Father", and "The True Story of Hot Mom", "Militia Ge Erdan", "The Legend of Zhen Huan", Liu Meng's "I Am a Special Soldier" is not in Xu Weijie's seven TV series plan.

"Several conditions, first, sign a contract with Qidong Media to be our full-time director. ”

"Yes, I have talked to Mr. Xu and Mr. Chen, and Qiao Xue also knows that I came to Qidong Media. Liu Meng hurriedly replied that he had only been an assistant director before, not that he didn't want to work hard, but that no one was willing to give him this opportunity.

"Second, after you have shown me the script you wrote in the future, I will decide whether to invest or not, I don't care about other themes, but those involved in the military and the police must be let me read first, some red lines cannot be stepped on, but those who should promote positive energy must also be promoted. "In the previous life, a lot of chaotic military-themed dramas were filmed across the country, and a large part of them were not allowed to be on the stars at all, and they were not even broadcast on TV stations, one was shoddy, and the other was that the plot was too clumsy, and the plot of the hand-torn devil was scorched inside and out, and it was completely pure nonsense.

Jiang Lang doesn't know who filmed "I Am a Special Soldier" in his previous life, but since Liu Meng can come up with such a script in this life, it is still good for Jiang Lang to look through it casually, so he is willing to give him a chance.

"No problem. Liu Meng said happily, he was even happier to be able to let Jiang Lang see it in person, Xu Weijie is the president of Qidong Media, but Jiang Lang is the actual investor of Qidong Media.

"Then go back and go through the formalities, Mr. Chen, you must arrange a reliable producer to supervise him, don't go wrong." Jiang Lang confessed to Chen Xi, and she hurriedly agreed, saying that she would definitely take care of it.

Chen Xi came over just to report to Jiang Lang about the recent work of Qidong Media, after lunch, the assistants and bodyguards all went out, Jiang Lang, Qiao Xue, and Chen Xi went to his office, Liu Meng was sent to the airport by the driver, and he will go back this afternoon.

Qidong Media rented a floor next to Sanyuan Bridge, but this is only excessive, and after the decoration of its own office building next to it, it will move over after the National Day.

In addition to seven TV series, Qidong Media has also planned three movies this year, and the cinema mentioned by Xu Weijie last time has also been put on the agenda, and the procedures are running, but now there is one more thing, Xu Weijie and Chen Xi want to acquire Guangguang Media, the two have had in-depth contact with Guangguang Media, and the two sides have a lot in common at the strategic level, and the key is that Wang Changtian is also willing to rely on a wealthy tree like Qidong Media.

Although Qidong Media was established for a short time, Jiang Lang gave 10000000000000 registered capital, which is really too much, so many that there are few media companies in the country that can reach this amount of capital, don't look at the light media looks very beautiful, but in terms of cash flow, they are really far behind, even Huayi, the largest listed company in China, does not have such a large cash flow, and they are mainly based on variety shows, is mainly a movie, and at this point, it has more in common with Xu Weijie, and it also makes up for the weakness of Qidong Media without variety shows.

Although Chen Xi is also full of longing for movies, but now if you really want to talk about making money in China, although TV series also have a lot of losses, as long as the quality is not too bad, it is basically difficult to lose money, and it must be more profitable than movies.

So Qidong Media is walking on two thighs, paying equal attention to movies and TV series, supplemented by variety shows, and music is now also making efforts, at the same time, Xu Weijie also set up a special effects department, and once sent an email to Jiang Lang and applied for 500 million funds to build this special effects department, although Jiang Lang doesn't understand, he also knows that special effects will be in future movies, The application prospect in the TV series was decisively approved to him in the email, and the person in charge of this department is Liu Guohua, a special effects master in the United States who Xu Weijie found, and he brought a whole team of more than 40 people, and will recruit more special effects talents in the future.

According to Xu Weijie and Liu Guohua's predictions, this department will be expanded to 800 to 1500 people, and some investment in software and hardware facilities is necessary, especially for computers with special effects, Jiang Lang is very high-end, Xu Weijie listed three grades of high, medium and low, Jiang Lang directly approved all the purchase of the most high-end workstations and servers, such as a high-end HP workstation, the official quotation alone is as high as more than 500,000, and similar to this kind of workstation, Xu Weijie came up and asked for 50 units, IBM storage server, Disk array, nearly one million, Liu Guohua asked for 10, and then will continue to add because of the continued expansion of personnel, of course, not everyone uses this kind of hardware equipment, ordinary novices only need second-hand cheaper ones to learn to take a hand.

But hardware burning money is nothing, the most expensive is the cost of talents, everyone must be proficient in at least four or five kinds of special effects software, familiar with more than 50 kinds of professional software, so many people just to train it takes countless time, and after learning well, you can't just give people the money for small jobs, everyone's annual salary is at least 200,000, otherwise you can't keep this kind of high-end talent in Yanjing.

If there are thousands of people, the cost of talent alone accounts for more than half of an excellent special effects film.

Therefore, this special effects department is definitely a money-burning existence, you really can't play without money, but Qidong Media is still rich, and Jiang Lang also agreed to invest a huge amount of money to support this, so Xu Weijie also made a special call to thank Jiang Lang once, Shi Wei died for the knowing, although it has not yet reached that step, but Jiang Lang spared no effort to support him.

It is precisely because of Jiang Lang's support that Xu Weijie promised Liu Guohua and dug their entire team back to China, and in the end, although there were only more than 40 people who came, some of the students who graduated from professional colleges were carefully selected one by one this year, as long as they signed a labor contract for more than five years, they can enjoy almost unlimited capital investment.

Liu Guohua is a master of Industrial Light & Magic, he himself is Chinese, and not only brought back a team, but also brought back a contract for some of the special effects scenes of "Prometheus" - 10 million US dollars because of their excellent work ability.

In terms of music, because there is a girlhood, so Qidong Media has now also established a music division, this is the merged Qiao Xue's personal studio, plus the recruitment of several industry talents, although Jiang Lang said that everyone in the girls' generation must speak Chinese to participate in the domestic acting career, but Xu Weijie did not really do exactly according to his words, so let them idle for a few months, their popularity will be reduced a lot, obviously not conducive to holding such a high-quality team not to make money.
