Chapter 191: I didn't spend a penny, and I made the movie
How can the expansion of university enrollment still have something to do with the development of film special effects?
The reason is very simple, because movie special effects are high-tech, and high-tech requires high-tech talents, and after the expansion of university enrollment, there will be many, many high-tech talents.
Although many people will say how imperfect our university education is, how bad it is, but the indisputable fact is that after a person has experienced college, it is not the same as not experiencing the baptism of university, and don't forget, our country will increase the number of college graduates every year after that, starting from 6 million and rushing up to 8 million, which is such a huge base!
With such a huge base, even if the success rate is low, there will definitely be a large number of talents, and it is absolutely right to develop film special effects on such a basis.
And Hong Kong, as a node of communication between the East and the West, in 03, her status was still quite high, and it will not change until the development of the magic capital. In this kind of Hong Kong, it is easy to find Western talents, especially in film special effects.
This is also why Wu Xiang wants to put the company in Hong Kong, but the focus is on the mainland. Hong Kong, as a place of exchange, to absorb advanced things, and then go to the mainland for training, so that the talented young people who emerge can receive advanced knowledge, or can directly exchange in Hong Kong, at least it is much more convenient than directly doing these things in the mainland.
The West is actually in a state of blockade for many things to our country, and the United States has legislation that as long as it is a technology designed for national security, it must not be sold to our country. In fact, many so-called high-tech are ridiculous, such as the long-outdated computer chip technology. But now, Crooked Guoren's precautions against Hong Kong are not very strict, until they finally figured it out. It turns out that a lot of Hong Kong capital is actually Chinese capital, so we will double our precautions.
To put it bluntly, it's this place that makes it easier to steal technology, which can get us on the right track as quickly as possible.
Wu Xiang's investment this time is not very much, and the initial capital is 5 million US dollars, which is already considered okay in Hong Kong's digital special effects industry.
Needless to say, the source of this fund is the foreign exchange earned by "Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty".
If you have money, you can toss hard!
Does that seem to have more than $6 million left, lying in the bank?
Of course not. Wu Xiang actually bought more than $5 million in Apple stock when he got the money last year, and at this time, their stock price was still in a low-lying area, and it will fly in the future, so hehehe......
After Wu Xiang, who was very able to toss, returned to the capital. As soon as I got off the plane, I was picked up immediately.
Who is in such a hurry?
It's the mobile company, Wu Xiang promised someone else to do a plan before. Otherwise, how can someone give you Wu Xiang 10 million?
So. Before Wu Xiang could settle down, people immediately came to pick him up.
Does advertising planning have anything to do with the director? It really has something to do with it, and it has a lot to do with it.
Let's put it this way, I graduated from the directing department of a major college and university, and I got my first career in society. Generally, they find an advertising company to shoot advertisements for others, and those who can really come up and make movies are absolutely rare, like Wu Xiang. That's even less, if he hadn't been born again, he wouldn't have this opportunity.
If you shoot commercials well, the development after that is also quite good, not to mention that Hollywood's selling copies started with advertising, and there are many such successful examples in our country.
Mr. Zhang Guoli's family started shooting commercials, and he also shot MVs for others, and Tu Honggang's film was shot by Mr. Zhang, but I didn't expect that Mr. Zhang became famous because of acting in movies and TV series, but he never forgot to be a director.
If Mr. Zhang's fame is not big, then there is a bigger one, Zhang Yimou and Director Zhang, is it powerful?
O national teacher!
Mercedes-Benz approached him and spent more than 20 million yuan to shoot a commercial, and the cost of this advertisement is enough to make a movie.
Therefore, it is really natural for film and television directors to shoot commercials.
"Our theme this time is to highlight the relationship between mobile Internet and people's lives, close to life, mobile changes life, and ......"
It's a big conference room, and all the people sitting in it are suits and leather shoes, oily hair and powder, and unique style.
This is a proposal meeting, put forward a plan, and then let these CEOs come and take an idea, okay, let's shoot, no, let's think of new ideas. Party B is the one who advertises, and this business still needs to be said by Party A.
The proposal was Zhu Xuebin of Berner's company, he was not very good at planning, and he was also very good at speaking, so Wu Xiang handed over this job to him and borrowed it.
Zhu Xuebin is really able to speak, with a chart projected behind him, he said in front of him, it can really be described as foaming at the mouth, and his tongue is full of lotus flowers.
However, although Zhu Xuebin said so hard, these bigwigs of the mobile company didn't seem to be very satisfied.
Wu Xiang saw it very clearly, these people had some hesitation on their faces, and it was estimated that Zhu Xuebin's plan was difficult for people to accept.
"Director Wu, isn't this idea a little ordinary? Our leaders are not very satisfied. ”
Sure enough, as soon as Zhu Xuebin finished speaking, a manager in charge of the project over there came over and told Wu Xiang.
In fact, as far as the whole planning and advertising are concerned, Wu Xiang has not participated at all, he has been filming, how can he have any time to engage in advertising creativity.
"This, then what kind of creativity do you leaders want?" Wu Xiang asked politely, after all, people are also part-time workers, and they are angry and make money.
"I hope it's a little more atmospheric, a little different from others, we're three companies competing, don't make everyone similar, then it's not interesting." ”
The three companies in the telecommunications industry are all powerful giants, and they are very fierce, but there is also competition between them, and it is quite fierce.
"Success!" Wu Xiang replied, and then began to sum up any good ideas.
What good advertising has this mobile done?
Thinking about it, two words popped up in Wu Xiang's head.
"Do you want to borrow pen and paper?"
"Okay. "The manager still doesn't understand. "A brush or something?"
"Pencil is it. "Wu Xiang's request is simple and urgent.
Soon, an A4 piece of paper and a pencil came to Wu Xiang's hand, and this guy took it and wrote it immediately.
It's not just writing, it's like drawing.
"What a great director. There is a panache. ”
"No wonder it's art. ”
These leaders looked at Wu Xiang's painting posture and discussed a lot.
Soon, it didn't take long for Wu Xiang to complete his painting and deliver it.
Everyone sitting there looked at it and saw two words on the paper.
I can!
That's right, to include punctuation, Wu Xiang made the two words bold with a pencil, and the exclamation mark was even thicker.
"Can I?"
"I can!"
As soon as these two words came out, the discussion began, and the leaders seemed to feel. It's too simple, isn't it?
However, you must know that these two words are the works of the great director Wu Xiang, created on the spot, and they are definitely not fooled. And ah. These two words are 'drawn' like this. Not sure why. There's just a momentum!
After some discussion, in the end, they really agreed.
"Director Wu, your design is really good, it's really good! It's an artist, it's so good!"
Ah. Wu Xiang is so beautiful in his heart, he just wrote two words, these people praise themselves, cool!
Although said. These two words have been used in history, and Wu Xiang just copied them, but this copy is really amazing.
So, copying has to be able to copy, copying novels or something, it's really cost-effective, hehehe......
10 million, the mobile side not only gave the promised 10 million, but also added investment, and then 10 million, to let Wu Xiang's team help shoot an advertisement, which is a series of advertisements, because Wu Xiang also continued to flicker, he is ready to shoot a long advertisement, and then, you can cut the long story into a small short film, you can flexibly put it as needed when you put it.
You see how good this is, how great this plan is, think about what customers think, and be anxious about what customers are anxious about!
The leader of the mobile company immediately agreed, and made it clear that this is just a cost of making a system, and the later publicity, that is their business.
People are really generous, they are really generous!
After this business was discussed, Wu Xiang made a simple calculation, and he spent 5 million yuan to buy the script for "No Thieves in the World" at the beginning, and then ......
It seems that after making this movie, I didn't spend a penny!
That's right, it didn't cost a penny, Andy's side came out with 10 million, Hong Kong's drama is equivalent to no money, and then went to shoot Lab @ Lengsi play, the money didn't run out, and then filmed the scene on the train, or asked Uncle Huang for help, this actor's salary, many of them are friendly cameos, Wu Xiang wrapped a red envelope, but the main thing is to give a few more difficult, such as Brother Dasha, Chef Fan, Wu Xiang is very generous, but like Wu Junru, people don't want it, and they don't mention it.
Other expenditures, it is all the money from these large enterprises, Taobao has given more than 2 million, and other enterprises, even if they are not as generous as mobile, they are not less.
If you calculate carefully, I'm afraid it's not that you didn't spend money, but you also made a lot of money!
Cool!
Of course, it is cool in my heart, but Wu Xiang also understands that this is just the cost of making zuò, and it has not yet been completely completed, plus the publicity costs in the later stage, it is necessary to invest money in it.
But this is cool enough, no wonder this movie can make money, especially big directors.
Wu Xiang is very beautiful in his heart now, just like a big radish in the capital, but when he came out of the mobile company, he received a phone call, a very urgent call.
"I was in a meeting just now, I'm really embarrassed, what is the senior sister looking for me?"
Masters?
That's right, Wu Xiang turned off the phone when he was in a meeting, this is his habit, and he has to be a little polite, but as soon as he turned it on, he found that there were many missed calls, all of which belonged to his senior sister Sun Li!
is the senior sister that Wu Xiang met on the first day of entering the film academy, she is also very busy now, she is busy filming, and naturally she is also busy with Teacher Huang Sanshi, but what is she looking for herself?
"Xiangzi, are you going back to the capital today?" the senior sister still asked first, but from the tone, Wu Xiang could hear that she should know that she had returned to the capital.
"Yes. ”
"That, that you, that ......" Sun Li was still a little squeaky.
"What's that?" Wu Xiang was anxious, "What's wrong?"
"Teacher Han has passed away!"
"What?!"
Wu Xiang felt a boom in his head! (To be continued......)
