Chapter 663: We're going to give him the highest specifications
At five o'clock in the afternoon, John frowned at the time, he sighed, got up and walked outside, it seems that there is no result today, he is also a little helpless about this, if he didn't have enough patience, he would have scolded the group of people in the technical department, a full five days have passed, and there is no news at all.
He couldn't wait here all the time, as the president of Paramount, there were still a lot of things waiting for him to deal with, and it was already his limit to be able to wait patiently here for an hour or two every day.
But before he could walk out, a figure hurriedly walked in, and when he saw this person, John had a touch of anticipation in his heart.
"Hey, Jonah, the experiment worked?" John asked, sitting back down, then smiling.
Jonah Willis, one of his right-hand men, is also a vice president in charge of the technical experiment this time, although he is older than him, but as the so-called old and strong, Jonah has always been very steady in doing things, if the experiment was not successful, the other party would definitely not come to him.
"John, the experiment was a success, and the results far exceeded our expectations. Jonah was in a good mood, like John, he had been looking forward to the surprise of the technology sent by Huaxia, and the result was just as he thought, even far beyond his imagination, so as soon as he received the result, he rushed to share the good news with his friends.
Seeing the excitement on Jona's face, John knew there must be good news, he pointed to the sofa next to him, and only after Jonah sat down did he patiently ask, "How's the effect?"
"Very good, the improvement of the picture is about 30 percent, and it has not reached the limit, because it is the first experiment, so some conditions are still relatively conservative, if you experiment with the most advanced technology in Hollywood, the picture improvement can reach at least 50 percent, 50 percent of the picture improvement, you can hardly imagine my excitement at the time, just like the difference between online video HD and 1080p, this is a film revolution, and even Paramount relies on this technology, some film projects that could not be implemented before, can now start to put on the agendaγ Jonah said excitedly.
"Fifty percent?" John was stunned for a moment, and then there was ecstasy, he knew very well how much benefit this fifty percent improvement had, this is not just as simple as the picture becoming clear, but a qualitative improvement, because many lenses when shooting, not only have extremely high requirements for the photographer, but also have high requirements for the equipment, once the equipment is not satisfied, it is easy to cause reshooting, and even cause the picture to be substandard, and this situation is huge for the crew and the company.
For a movie, especially a Hollywood film famous for its high-tech commercial films, the picture not only improves the audience's perception, but more importantly, this technology solves many current shooting problems.
With this technology, many of Paramount's film plans can be advanced, and the annual film production can be increased by at least about 10%, even so, in terms of cost control, even more money than before, which is the benefit of technological innovation.
Although he didn't understand why the Huaxia company would send such an important technology to Hollywood, it was able to reap such a big benefit, which made John grateful for which company was called Wanhetianyi, and at the same time had a strong curiosity.
"Jonah, help me book a ticket to Huaxia, I think, I'm going to talk to this company in person, between us and Wanhe Tianyi, it shouldn't just be a simple cooperation, but also a long-term cooperation, what do you think?" After John knew the result, he had an idea in his heart, no matter what, he must maintain a friendly and cooperative attitude with Wanhe Tianyi, even if the other party is now just a little-known second-rate film company in Huaxia, and Paramount is already a large global company, he can't shake his determination at all.
"John, you mean, you personally go and negotiate a long-term contract with the other party?" Jonah was a little surprised, you must know that John is not only the president of Paramount, but also the core figure of Paramount's parent company Viacom Group, and his vision is ridiculously high, and now, John actually attaches importance to a second-rate film company in China, if this news spreads, I am afraid that the next day, the company called Wanhe Tianyi will become a popular company in the global film industry.
"That's right, we have to look a little bigger, and in the long run, I believe that Wanhe Tianyi will definitely not let us down, and may even reach the point of being comparable to Paramount. John said truthfully that he had high expectations and believed that the company's future success would not be weaker than Paramount's, and that despite Paramount's hundreds of years of history, he had this delusion.
"Isn't that an exaggeration, is it? Just because of a technology?" Jonah was a little incredulous, was his friend crazy, and thought that a second-rate film company could reach the level of a century-old movie giant like Paramount because of a technology?
"No, it's not an exaggeration at all!" John shook his head, "This time I will go to Huaxia in person, not only to reach a long-term cooperation agreement, but also I will give the other party the highest standard contract, in the future cooperation, Paramount and Wanhe Tianyi are equal friends, not subordinate relationships." β
"You're crazy!" Jonah couldn't understand John's thoughts, "As long as you ask, there are countless companies in the world that are willing to sign contracts with you, and it's unimaginable that you are telling me now that you actually put down Paramount's stature for the sake of a small company." β
"Okay, Jonah, I'm not going to say too much, time will tell, you continue to be responsible for the experimental problems, it's half past five, I'll buy tonight's plane, the company's affairs, you need to be more responsible." John looked at his watch, then got up and patted Jonah on the shoulder, "You'll see later how good the decision I was." β
Seeing John's back walking out, Jonah shook his head, John is always so crazy and unreasonable, but it is this kind of thinking that makes the other party sit in Paramount's position at such a young age, and is deeply loved by Viacom, even if John is no longer the president of Paramount now, I believe that in Viacom, he can get the best treatment, which is really not as good as his friend.
"Well, I hope you're right. It wasn't until John walked out of the conference room that Jonah reluctantly stood up and walked towards the lab.
