Chapter 939: Flying Against the Wind (9)
Cheng Xiaoyu sent Xiao Zhiyan away, and devoted himself to the filming of the movie, and the plan he set for himself to complete the production of the film in four months is only a little more than a month, and it can be said that the time is very urgent. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Xu Qinning herself is not a clingy girl, she can have a good time by herself, so she doesn't need Cheng Xiaoyu to worry, as for safety, in fact, there are always bodyguards who follow quietly near Xu Qining, which Cheng Xiaoyu didn't find out, it's Justin. Bieber told Cheng Xiaoyu.
After all the outdoor and indoor filming was completed, only the special effects shot of the plane explosion at the beginning of the movie "Death is Coming" needed to be filmed.
In fact, Cheng Xiaoyu also planned it this way, but he didn't expect the first selected special effects company called "Frankenstein". I called yesterday and said that I couldn't complete the contract, and the angry Cheng Xiaoyu couldn't, he thought it must be Peter. Kopla did the hell, but this time he signed a detailed contract, so he didn't listen to what the other side said, immediately hung up the phone, and rushed to the door with David with the contract.
He slapped the contract on the table of the manager of Frankenstein's special effects company, and said angrily, "If you don't finish shooting with me...... I'm going to sue you until you go bankrupt......."
The manager named Wilson looked at Cheng Xiaoyu calmly and said, "Cheng Xiaoyu, you don't need to sue....... Our company has already declared official bankruptcy yesterday....."
Cheng Xiaoyu looked confused, and asked a little suspiciously: "What....... Possible? Isn't your company one of the top 10 special effects companies in Hollywood? And wasn't the last production of "Future Soldiers" very good at the box office? ”
Wilson smiled bitterly and said, "What does the box office have to do with our special effects company?" If the film company asks for it, we have to change, the profit is actually very low, and to be honest, except for a few giants, our entire industry is very difficult now. ”
Cheng Xiaoyu asked puzzledly, "Why?" ”
Wilson thought that Cheng Xiaoyu's contract money would not be recovered, so he explained diligently: "There are many reasons, one is that the labor cost is too high, the contradiction between capital recovery time and production cycle, and the contradiction between the company's development, personnel capital control and capital budget control is too sharp.
The second is the rise of special effects companies in Japan and South Korea, although the strength is not as good as that of American companies, but the price is generally cheaper by more than half, so even many American special effects companies, in order to save their own costs, outsource some lenses to Japanese and Korean special effects companies. ”
Cheng Xiaoyu sighed and asked hopelessly: "Then can my contract money be refunded?" ”
Wilson said: "Immediately the court will come and put a seal on it, and enter the liquidation stage, which will be repaid in proportion to the creditor's rights....... Take your contract to court! And find another special effects company to produce it as soon as possible, don't waste time! ”
Cheng Xiaoyu was quite speechless, he didn't expect such an unlucky thing to happen to him, so he could only leave first, and when he left, Wilson also left a private phone number for Cheng Xiaoyu, saying that he needed help to contact him.
Cheng Xiaoyu saved the phone, left the office building of "Frankenstein", got into the car and asked David: "Which is the best special effects company in Hollywood?" ”
David hesitated for a moment and said: "There are four major special effects companies in Hollywood, which are 'Industrial Light & Magic', 'Vitas', Sony Image Graphics Studio, and ....... in the digital field."
Cheng Xiaoyu didn't want to make any mistakes, and said, "Then let's find the big four!" It doesn't matter if it's a little more expensive, the quality and speed are guaranteed..... You choose the ...... closest to us right now."
David hesitated for a moment and said, "The nearest one is Sony's...... Going? "All the way here just now, Cheng Xiaoyu seemed to be scolding Peter. Kopla, but he said Chinese, and David didn't understand it..... In fact, even if David understands Chinese, he may not be able to understand what "grave jumping", "hearse drifting" and "bibimbap" mean.
Cheng Xiaoyu patted his head very sadly, and said to David, who had a touching emotional intelligence: "Forget about Sony....... Go to the second closest ......"
So David said "OK", and then used the mobile phone map to determine that the "digital field" was closest to them at the moment, and then told Cheng Xiaoyu the answer......
Cheng Xiaoyu rolled his eyes, his head hurt for this elm, and followed the navigation straight to the "digital realm..........
Cheng Xiaoyu went to the "digital field" and told the reception staff that there was a small but urgent business to discuss, and he was immediately received with unprecedented enthusiasm, and waited in the lounge for a while. Baz personally received Cheng Xiaoyu.
Cheng Xiaoyu said straight to the point: "I have a few minutes of plane explosion footage to make here, the business may not be very big, but I want it urgently, can you give priority to making it for me?" Negotiable ...... price"
Dilanco. Buzz asked the secretary to bring coffee and dessert to Cheng Xiaoyu and David, smiled and said: "Mr. Cheng, you can find our 'digital field' shows that you have a great vision, our company is very experienced in making this kind of air crash special effects...... "Deadly Flight" and "Flying Prison" are all produced .......by our company."
Cheng Xiaoyu just came in from the company, looking at the scale, he knew that this was a big company, and he was quite satisfied, and felt that there should be no mistakes this time, so he said: "Of course I am very confident in the strength of your company, otherwise I would not have come to the door.......
Dilanco. Buzz took out the cigar box from the drawer and handed it to Cheng Xiaoyu, Cheng Xiaoyu waved his hand and said, "I don't smoke......"
Dilanco. Buzz laughed and said, "It's good not to smoke..... I don't know if Mr. Cheng brought a storyboard script? After saying that, he handed the cigar box to David, and David also said that he didn't need it. Buzz also put the cigar back in the box and threw it back in the drawer.
Cheng Xiaoyu nodded and handed the storyboard script that needed special effects to Di Lanke. Buzz said, "The price is good, and this scene should be relatively easy to make...... Facial expressions and movements are still left to the actors......"
The price calculation of special effects is not calculated by seconds, and it is slightly more accurate to calculate by the number of frames, but in fact, there are three main aspects: the type of shot, the production content, and the quality requirements...... Among them, the character production is the most difficult, like explaining the swarms of airplanes or something, but it is relatively simple.
Cheng Xiaoyu's special effects lens is not very difficult, he also has his own special effects company, but "Atomic Light and Shadow" now pays attention to making animation, and has no experience in this area, in order to ensure the effect, Cheng Xiaoyu can only find a special effects company in the United States.
Dilanco. Buzz finished flipping through the storyboard, and the lion opened his mouth and said, "Seven million dollars...... I promise you're satisfied, and I'll make it with you within two months....... At this speed and price, you can't get anywhere in ILM or Sony....... You must know that a special effects company can produce ten minutes of special effects shots in a year......"
Cheng Xiaoyu was still stunned by this price, the price of "Frankenstein" was only 1.5 million, and since it had been forcibly increased by almost five times in the "digital field.......
Dilanco. Buzz is actually helpless, because at this time the "digital field" is not having a good time, if you can't get a loan at the end of the month, the capital chain may be broken, listening to the reception staff said that an Asian talked about business, and immediately remembered that some time ago Hollywood rumored that the Asian tyrant spent a million dollars to donate, looking for a school, so he immediately found someone to secretly verify it.
Sure enough, it was them, so they planned to slaughter this ignorant Asian guy fiercely....... (To be continued.) )
