Chapter 343: Special Effects
With two soldiers out of the way, Nicolas Cage was quickly led to the command car.
Lin Han and the others had just finished eating, and when they saw the famous Oscar winner, they all immediately got up to say hello with a smile on their faces.
"Welcome, Mr. Cage. ”
Lin Han shook hands with Cage, spoke fluent and authentic English, and introduced: "Let me introduce to you, this is Colonel Wang Boyun of the People's Liberation Army, this is Academician Jiang Sizeng of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, and this is the ...... of the Ministry of Water Resources."
A few people greeted each other, and after a few polite words, most of them went their separate ways.
After all, people like Academician Jiang and Colonel Wang don't pay much attention to the entertainment industry, although they have heard of Cage, but they have nothing to do with each other after all, at most they say a few words like watching your movies, and they have no intention of chatting deeply.
And Lin Han, as the boss of Vientiane Media and the actual boss of Yunzhou Satellite TV, of course has to talk more about Cage.
Speaking of which, regarding the premiere of Yunzhou Satellite TV, Liu Yufeng had no one else in mind, and he actually asked Cage to act in a sketch.
It's just a matter of letting Cage act in a sketch, and it is said that he will also invite Zhao Si, the "Asian Temperament Dance King", to partner with him.
One Nicolas Cage, one Nicholas Zhao Si...... This style of painting is a bit nonsensical when you think about it.
However, Lin Han is really looking forward to this style of painting, and it is estimated that the masses of people are also happy to see it.
The two sat down, and Nicolas Cage said: "Mr. Lin, I watched Yunzhou Satellite TV's "Wilderness Expedition" when I came, and to be honest, I have always had a question in my heart......
"You want to ask about the authenticity of 'Wilderness Expedition'?" Lin Han said along with his words.
Cage was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, I do want to know." Of course, if you don't want to tell me, that's fine, anyway, I still love the show. ”
Lin Han smiled slightly: "What the expedition team has found are all treasures that have been buried in the past generations, and this is not a half-point. ”
"But after all, it's a TV show, and the intermediate process should be as tortuous and rich as possible, which I think you understand. ”
No matter how real it seems, as long as it's a TV show, there will be a bit of interpretation.
Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many people going to see it.
Cage couldn't help but ask, "It's incredible, how did you detect these treasure locations?"
"Well, in fact, I don't know about it, after all, I'm the boss, not a technician......" Lin Han said matter-of-factly, and then changed the conversation, "The Yellow River series of "Wilderness Expedition" is a total of 12 episodes, and the shooting task is very easy, and we will pay you $10 million." ”
"Your main task in the expedition is to ask questions, any questions about treasures, Chinese history, biogeography or archaeology, you can ask them, and then the other team members will answer them. ”
"Wilderness Expedition" is a program with a strong popular science nature, and each episode will have a large number of introductions to history, geography, biology, cultural relics and archaeology, and some are even quite profound.
The distinctive popular science characteristics have made "Wilderness Expedition" have an excellent reputation, and it is even regarded by many people as an educational program, pure and unpretentious, completely different from other reality shows.
Adding a foreigner to the expedition team who is specifically responsible for asking various questions will undoubtedly make the show's popular science much more interesting.
Not to mention, this foreigner is still Nicolas Cage, a former Oscar winner and an old friend of the Chinese people.
"Of course, you can also share some experiences of making movies with the audience in the show, for example, your "National Treasure" is very compatible with our show, and many people in China have seen it. ”
Speaking of "National Treasure", Cage couldn't help but be a little smug and laughed: "Ah, I also like this movie very much, it made me a lot of money." ”
Lin Han smiled and said, "But you ...... now"
"Not to mention, real estate in the United States is disgusting, and I really regret it. Cage waved his hand and put his forehead down.
"Actually, if you like to invest in real estate, you can do it in Huaxia. At least for a considerable period of time, housing prices in China will continue to grow, and it is unlikely to plummet. Lin Han said.
"I seem to have heard it said, but I haven't paid attention to it, is Huaxia's real estate really so hot?" Cage couldn't help but ask.
"There are too many houses involved in China, and as long as house prices fall by 30% in the short term, Huaxia's economy will suffer a heavy blow. Lin Han said slowly.
"You know, the Chinese government has a very strong influence on the economy, so it's not possible for housing prices to plummet anyway, and there's actually no property tax in Huaxia...... In short, if you invest in real estate in China, at least you won't lose as much money as you do in the United States. ”
After a pause, he added: "However, foreigners can't hold a lot of real estate in China, and if you really want to do that, I'm afraid you have to consider immigrating to China." ”
Nicolas Cage frowned slightly, did not speak, and seemed to be considering.
The two chatted for a while, and he suddenly said: "I heard that a fermion vertical traction instrument is worth tens of billions of yuan, so its maintenance cost should be a lot." ”
Lin Han was stunned for a moment, and then nodded without changing his face: "Indeed, the annual maintenance cost of a fermion vertical traction instrument is as high as hundreds of millions of yuan, which is a big burden. ”
"Haven't you thought about doing something else with a tractor, like ...... Instead of some of the computer effects, you were involved in the filming process?" Cage said with interest, "In fact, the subsidence scene is so amazing that I think it's cooler than all the special effects." ”
Special effect?
Lin Han couldn't help but move in his heart when he heard this.
When Cage said this, he really had some ideas. After all, the posture of the terrain manipulation of the terrain by the land authority does look very stylish, and the details are clear, and I don't know how high it is compared to the special effects.
The most important thing is that the land authority does not cost money, and if the scene is not big, it doesn't even cost much effort.
What tens of billions of units, hundreds of millions of maintenance costs, are all casually said by him, two fermion vertical traction instruments together, I am afraid it is not as expensive as this command vehicle.
If a movie is made well, the rate of return may reach tens of thousands of times. For example, the famous "Ghost Shadow" is like this, with a cost of only 15,000, but the box office is as high as 200 million, which is simply endless.
And that's not even counting the side effects, such as a strong corporate advocacy role and cultural export at the national level.
Of course, there is also the popularity of actors, as well as the ensuing fan economy and commercial endorsements......
