Chapter 16 Joint Investment
In the afternoon of the next day, Chen Xin and Wang Xiaoyue had just walked out of the passenger hall of the Capital International Airport with their suitcases in tow, when they saw people from the Horse Racing Galloping Film and Television Company holding a sign with Chen Xin's name written on it, waiting at the exit, and the two hurriedly greeted them.
The person who picked up the airport was surnamed He, called He Bin, a young man who was not very old, it seemed that he had only graduated for a long time, and when he saw Chen Xin, he didn't feel anything, but as soon as he saw Wang Xiaoyue, his eyes instantly lit up, and he asked with some doubts: "Are you Xiaoyue?"
Wang Xiaoyue said strangely: "How do you know my name?"
He Bin became excited, rubbed his hands and said, "Hello, hello, I'm Baidu Tieba Moon Guardian, I'm your fan, can you sign me later?"
Chen Xin smiled and said, "Xiaoyue, I didn't expect you to be quite famous now." β
Wang Xiaoyue glanced at Chen Xin and said proudly: "Of course!"
After getting into the car, He Bin really found a pen and paper for Wang Xiaoyue to sign, and said happily: "I'll post the signature at night, and envy those calves." β
After such a play, the three of them became a little familiar, and because Chen Xin came to the capital for the first time, He Bin made a cameo appearance as a temporary tour guide and introduced Chen Xin to the various places of interest along the route.
finally arrived at Horse Racing Galloping Pictures, He Bin took Chen Xin and them straight to the general manager's office, Liu Cixin and Yu Shijian, general manager of Horse Racing, had been waiting for a long time.
Yu Shijian is not tall, slightly fat, and is a very talkative middle-aged man.
As soon as they met, he greeted him and said with a smile: "Hello, Mr. Chen, although Mr. Liu said that Mr. Chen is a young talent, I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be younger than I imagined." β
Chen Xin smiled and shook hands with Yu Shijian and said, "Hello, Mr. Yu praised it." β
Yu Shijian looked at Wang Xiaoyue standing beside Chen Xin with some curiosity and said, "Mr. Chen, ......who is this beautiful lady?"
Chen Xin hurriedly introduced: "This is my sister Wang Xiaoyue, who is now studying in the directing department of the Capital Film Academy. β
Wang Xiaoyue also said obediently: "Hello Mr. Yu." β
Yu Shijian nodded with a smile and greeted her thoughtfully.
Then Chen Xin chatted with Da Liu a few words, because they had contact in Yangquan before, the two did not have so many kind words, and the relationship between the two sides was much closer.
After the greetings, Yu Shijian said: "Mr. Chen, then let's go straight to the point." I heard Da Liu say that your studio changed one of his works into a CG micro-film, the picture effect is very good, I don't know if I can watch it, and you also know that our company plans to shoot Da Liu's "Country Teacher", I believe in Da Liu's vision, I think maybe we can cooperate in the CG special effects of this film. β
Chen Xin smiled: "Of course there is no problem, I have already brought the sample film, if you can, Mr. Yu can watch it now." β
Yu Shijian was overjoyed and said: "Haode, then I'll arrange it immediately." β
Horse Racing Galloping Pictures has its own screening hall within the company, and both the sound and projection equipment are very professional.
Among the people watching, not only Liu Cixin and Yu Shijian, but also several senior executives of Horse Racing Galloping Pictures, and even the well-known director Ning Hao also came.
Several movies directed by Ning Hao, such as "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing", are all works that Chen Xin likes very much.
In Chen Xin's view, Ning Hao is a ghost talent among China's new generation of directors, and the movies he shoots are very thoughtful, and this time he also came to watch "Bring Her Eyes", I don't know if Horse Racing Galloping Pictures Company intentionally wanted him to direct the filming of "Country Teacher".
The lights dimmed, the music played, and the screening room fell silent.
Chen Xin also watched "Bring Her Eyes" for the first time in this kind of professional theater, and the picture and sound effects were even more different from what I had seen on the computer before.
When the camera swept over the planets, the feeling of starry sky was very novel, and the realistic images even made people wonder if those planets were real, especially the process of the cube turning into a robot, which directly made everyone in the screening hall exclaim.
After Cybertron Digital's intro, a few people whispered, and it was clear that the jishu content contained in the opening CG made these filmmakers aware of the film's extraordinary.
At the beginning of the movie, as the plot unfolds, the discussion gradually decreases.
The effect bonus of the film being shown in a professional theater is very good, and even people like Wang Xiaoyue, who have watched it several times, quickly invested in it, let alone others.
Forty minutes passed in a flash, and the moment the lights in the screening hall were turned on again, everyone gave a standing ovation, and Yu Shijian sighed again and again: "I didn't expect the first domestic sci-fi special effects blockbuster to be seen in my company's screening room, and I didn't expect this to be a micro-movie." Congratulations, Mr. Chen, I think this film will definitely be a national sensation if it is released publicly, and Jishu from Cybertron Digital Effects Studio is much stronger than I thought. β
Director Ning Hao said: "This is a special effects sci-fi blockbuster that really belongs to China, and if it is released, it will directly set a benchmark for Chinese sci-fi films." β
Yu Shijian stretched out his hand and shook hands with Chen Xin, and said, "Mr. Chen, I think we should talk about cooperation." β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
In fact, last year, Horse Racing Galloping Film Company had already filed two films with the GD General Administration, one was "The Great Gold Robbery", and the other was Liu Cixin's "Country Teacher".
However, there is still controversy within the company about which one should be filmed first.
Some people tend to shoot "The Great Gold Robbery", and the special effects of "The Country Teacher" is a major difficulty, and more importantly, in China, Chinese-language sci-fi films have not experienced the test of box office.
Like "Cyborg", which claimed to have invested more than 100 million yuan in the latest Chinese sci-fi blockbuster two years ago, and also appeared on "News Network" and "Economic Half Hour" for promotion, but the box office in the mainland was only 50 million, and hundreds of thousands in Hong Kong went offline, creating a new low in the box office of Chinese big productions in Hong Kong.
That movie not only had shoddy pictures, but the special effects were so devastating that they couldn't be described in words, and many fans scolded them directly after coming out of the theater.
Hollywood's well-crafted "Terminator 2018" and "Transformers 2" have all been scolded for their shortcomings, let alone such a big bad movie.
So it is understandable that the horse racing galloped on the issue of filming "Country Teacher".
Previously, Yu Shijian heard Liu Cixin say that there is a special effects studio called Cybertron Digital in China that has made a full CG movie, and the picture effect is very good. He is still a little skeptical, he believes in Da Liu's character, but he has been in contact with a slightly famous special effects company in China, and he is very aware of the domestic jishu level in the post-production special effects processing of films.
The sudden appearance of such a studio made him a little stunned.
Later, he also asked someone to inquire, and knew that Chen Xin was quite famous in the military CG circle, although he didn't know the bottom of his heart, but after thinking about it, he thought about getting in touch with Cybertron Digital first, and by the way, see how the "Bring Her Eyes", which was highly praised by Da Liu, was.
Unexpectedly, the quality of "Bring Her Eyes" completely exceeded his expectations, and the graphics of the whole film were slightly better than the full CG promotional films of game companies such as "Star Wars: The Old Republic" and "Wrath of the Lich King".
He couldn't understand that Cybertron Digital had such a strong jishu, and he was stupid to burn money to make a full CG micro-movie, and he was actually ready to upload it to the Internet for free.
However, it is certain that Cybertron Digital must have an extremely large R&D team behind it, and the other party is not short of money at all, so he dares to do this.
It was precisely because of this confirmation that Yu Shijian's determination to shoot "Country Teacher" was strengthened.
In the following days, Chen Xin has been negotiating with Yu Shijian, zuihou, and the two sides decided to jointly invest in the filming of "Country Teacher", with Yu Shijian himself as the producer, Ning Hao as the director, and Liu Cixin as the Jishu consultant and screenwriter.
Among them, Cybertron Digital invested 50 million yuan to be responsible for the CG special effects production of the film, and Horse Racing Galloping Film Company invested 20 million yuan to be mainly responsible for the filming, post-dubbing, soundtrack, editing, publicity and distribution of the film, and the box office of the two sides was divided fifty-fifty.
It was only at this time that Chen Xin learned that in a film, the box office that the producer can get usually only accounts for about 40 percent of the total box office, and the cinema companies and franchised theaters generally take 51.7 percent, and the remaining 3.3 percent is business tax, and 5 percent is handed over to the National Film Development Special Fund Management Committee. Of course, if the film is stronger, maybe it will be able to get a few more points from the theater chain at that time.
But Chen Xin doesn't care, anyway, no matter what, he can always make money.
After signing the contract, the filming of the film was officially put on the agenda, and Chen Xin privately found Ning Hao, hoping that Wang Xiaoyue would join the crew as the assistant director of "Country Teacher", and Ning Hao agreed without thinking about it.
For this reason, Wang Xiaoyue was excited for several days, and specially rewarded Chen Xin with a fragrant kiss, so that he didn't come back to his senses for a while.

In order to create a safe and harmonious public security environment, the capital public security quickly and resolutely launched a centralized rectification action, in accordance with the spirit of cracking a number of theft cases, knocking out a number of gangs, capturing a group of fugitives, and rectifying a number of public security disordersγ Let's take a look at the report sent back by the reporter from the scene......"
Chen Xin sat on the sofa in the hotel, watched the news of the Capital Satellite TV Economic Channel with great interest, and completed the signing of "Rural Teacher", he had nothing to do for a while, Wang Xiaoyue had returned to school, and the school has been having classes in the past few days, and he has no time to accompany him.
Chen Xin plans to go to the China Aviation Museum in Xiaotangshan tomorrow before returning to Jiangcheng.
Just when he was a little bored, the window door opened silently, and the steel hammer turned over directly and came in, taking figure-eight steps, shaking his head and coming to Chen Xin's side.
Chen Xin smiled and asked, "Ganglu, are you enjoying your meal?"
When he went out, there was a lot of inconvenience, so Chen Xin had to stock the steel hammer and let it scourge these electronic amusement halls, anyway, those who could do this business were more or less black, and Chen Xin was not afraid of retribution.
nodded, and said angrily: "It's so full, I found that the game currency of the capital is better than Jiangcheng." β
Chen Xindao: "This is natural, this is the imperial capital. β
