Chapter 145: Two New Join Forces

The new venture film and the new art city jointly co-produced "Happy Ghost", with a film investment budget of up to 10 million Hong Kong dollars, so that the film has not yet started filming, and it has become a hot news for the media. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

The co-production of the two companies was even promoted by some media as a "new alliance". In addition, the media imitated Lin Qi's tone, depicting that the two new alliances will subvert the pattern of the related film industry, and in the future, Hong Kong films may change from the embarrassing Oriental Hollywood to a world-class film production base similar to Hollywood.

Because, at the beginning of this year, Xinyicheng relied on "Best Partner" to win more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars at the box office, setting a new box office record for Hong Kong movies. This makes the industry no longer doubt the strength of the new art city.

And the new start-up company wins because of its strong financial resources, and no one suspects that Lin Qi, the boss of the new start-up department, is poor in money. So much so that the speed at which Lin Qi invests money cannot even catch up with the speed at which his company's game products make money.

This year's performance of new venture electronics really shocked the whole world, and the arcade machine represented by "Breaking the Sky" has exceeded 600 million US dollars.

Relying on the high selling price and the crazy pursuit of players, it only needs to sell more than 100,000 units, which has also brought a net profit of nearly 100 million US dollars to the newly started electronics company.

And the game hall that purchased the arcade machine of "Breaking the Sky" will never regret buying the arcade machine at several times the high price. Because, some game hall owners, even in just a few months, have earned back the investment capital and gradually entered the stage of net income. In this way, it further stimulated the passion of the game hall owner to continue to purchase the arcade machine "Breaking the Sky"! So much so that 100,000 units sales are not its limit, and at present, it is expected to maintain more than 10,000 units per month in the next six months.

At the same time, in June, the new venture electronics company released the second round of the RPG arcade game "Fengshen Bang", although its sales performance has not yet reached the grand occasion of "Breaking the Sky", but, just three days on the market, the order has exceeded 5,000 units, there is no doubt that the research and development cost has been earned, and each additional sales in the follow-up will continue to expand the scale of profits.

And Weng Meiling, who had just filmed the promotional poster of "Fengshen Bang", was lucky to be favored by the crew of "Happy Ghost" and asked her to play the heroine Lin Qingqing in the movie.

"Why did you choose me?" Weng Meiling inevitably had a little imagination, "Is that what Mr. Lin meant?"

"Mr. Lin, do you mean Boss Lin?" Gao Zhisen was stunned and said, "Boss Lin, I recommended someone, but it was not you, but Du Lisha." ”

"Du Lisha, her role is very important?" Weng Meiling thought that she was not recommended by Lin Qi, but Lin Qi recommended another woman to play the role, and she was inevitably a little jealous.

"This ...... Du Lisha's role is not too important, but the theme song of the movie "Happy Ghost" is sung by her. At present, she is very suitable for the theme song of "Happy Ghost". As for the characters in the movie, they are old and ugly, and ordinary female stars are unwilling to play this kind of role. Gao Zhisen said.

In fact, the nun head teacher played by Du Lisha is serious and rigid, and she is very fierce to poor students with poor grades and frequent actions. From a student's point of view, the character is certainly not likable. But rational analysis, this female head teacher is already very serious and responsible, not only strict requirements, but also excited about the honor of the class.

Of course, several of the protagonists in "Happy Ghost" are basically naughty girls. Therefore, standing up to a few naughty and problematic female students, using them as the protagonists to describe the plot, then, it is natural to feel that some characters are hateful.

In fact, the cast of the entire "Happy Ghost" has undergone some changes compared with the original "Happy Ghost". For example, Lin Qingqing's role has been changed to Weng Meiling, instead of Luo Mingzhu, an ordinary girl who was later favored by Gao Zhisen on the road.

In addition, the role of Lin Xiaohua in the movie was also replaced by Maggie Cheung instead of Li Lizhen.

Maggie Cheung, who is only 18 years old, is more suitable for appearance than Li Lizhen. Historically, Maggie Cheung participated in the Miss Hong Kong beauty pageant in 83, although she was defeated, she only won the runner-up. But to be evaluated as the most photogenic lady, and then sure enough, she began the road to popularity for decades.

As for Yan Ruyu, who was supposed to be performed by Lin Shanshan, she was also replaced by Zhou Huimin.

Zhou Huimin's life trajectory has undergone some changes since she met Lin Qi before. For example, Zhou Huimin began last year, in order to make money, he submitted paintings to the New Venture Publishing House, and his works were accepted, and after that, he received a remuneration of 500 yuan per illustration to draw covers and illustrations for some novels. A steady few illustrations a month is enough to change his family's financial situation. Of course, Zhou MM's talent is not only reflected in painting. Piano, singing, etc., all showed talent earlier than in history. Originally, he recently participated in the competition show of Amateur Singers on Leigh's TV, but he was favored by Leigh's scouts, and he was supposed to sign a contract with Leigh. encountered the turmoil of Li's TV station, and the team that held the show ran away, so the signing was not done. Subsequently, a new start-up film and television entertainment company was established, and Zhou MM joined the new start-up film and television company very decisively.

Zhou Huimin is currently only 16 years old, and she usually dresses more rustic, and no one chases her in middle school. Therefore, Yan Ruyu, who plays in the movie, can almost perform in her true colors, and she doesn't need to change her black-framed glasses. Of course, when her development period has passed and the baby fat has subsided, she will definitely be a beautiful embryo.

All in all, most of the female characters in the movie "Happy Ghost" have been replaced with other lineups. But the core people who may affect the quality of the movie, such as Huang Baiming and Du Lisha, are cautious to use the historical lineup.

After the cast was completed, the official filming of "Happy Ghost" began in early June, and after that, the progress progressed very rapidly. At the same time, the technical staff of the new venture electronics company also settled in the crew, and every day the film was converted into digital signals with professional equipment, stored in the hard disk, and then brought back to the company's mainframe computer for archiving and post-processing.

In this era, there are also large capacity hard disks, for example, mechanical hard disks used in mainframe computers and some small computers, 10.5-inch standard, weighing tens of kilograms, can store 300MB~500MB of information. Prices start at at least $10,000.

Those supercomputers, engaged in disk arrays, rows of cabinets are huge hard disks, and the weight of the hard disks of that kind of supercomputer can reach hundreds of tons. However, even supercomputers rarely have terabytes of storage capacity.

In essence, today's mainframe computers are really inferior to the 1,000 dollar budget PCs of a few decades from now. Whether it's a CPU, graphics card, memory, or hard drive, the junk computers with a budget of 1,000 yuan in later generations can beat the supercomputers with a budget of 100 million dollars in this era.

If it weren't for the fear of exposure, it would trigger the greed of the whole world. Lin Qi directly took a 1,000 yuan machine in the 21st century, which is definitely ten times stronger than the supercomputer independently developed by the current new start-up company with a budget of 200 million Hong Kong dollars.

I thought of building a computer with 200 million Hong Kong dollars, and got a computer about the size of a factory floor. In the future, the hardware will depreciate to the point that no one wants it for nothing, and now the main use of this supercomputer is to make post-production special effects for movies with an investment of only 10 million yuan.

But for the sake of technology accumulation, Lin Qi invested in this huge machine that could not make money. The only consolation is that the appreciation of the land in the future will make up for the loss caused by the depreciation of the machine.
