Chapter 229: Hollywood's Crisis

Hollywood is the hegemon of the film industry, and it has to sweep away a small box office from the country every year, which makes me feel distressed. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoIf you can take out Hollywood, you don't need to think about it. But is Hollywood so strong that it's viable?

Yue Jianqun and the others originally didn't believe it, but Ye Chen was full of confidence, and they couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Mr. Yue, you also said that technology can make a good movie. On the other hand, without the support of advanced technology, there will be no good movies. Ye Chen smiled ill-intentionedly and said, "In the past, the most advanced stunt technology was in the hands of the United States, but now, it is in my hands." If I were to embarrass Hollywood, what would it be like, you say? ”

"Haha." The crowd laughed and was very happy.

Stunts are too important for movies, and they can also be said to be the vitality of movies. Think about it, the movie "Avatar" was criticized by film critics, but it was able to sweep more than two billion dollars at the box office and was praised as a "money printing machine", because it was a milestone for 3D films.

Ye Chen has mastered the most advanced stunt technology, if he embarrasses Hollywood, then Hollywood will definitely not be able to eat and walk around, and he will definitely lose blood luck.

Think about it, Hollywood can't use Ye Chen's technology to make movies, and domestic movies use this most advanced technology, the gap between the two is big, domestic movies will definitely sell well, and Hollywood movies will definitely shrink.

"Yes, that's what Hollywood is going to do. Ye Dong, you don't have to make a production for Hollywood. Someone roared excitedly.

It's rude to yell here, but everyone is excited and no one thinks it's wrong.

"Nope! It's not that you don't give Hollywood a ......" Ye Chen's words were interrupted.

"Ye Dong, you want to produce for Hollywood?" Yue Jianqun was taken aback.

Hollywood is the overlord of the film industry, and it has too many resources, if Ye Chen cooperates with Hollywood, it will be of great benefit to Hollywood, which is not good for domestic films.

"That's right." Ye Chen nodded.

"No, Ye Dong, this will never work." The crowd shouted in unison.

"What's not to do?" Ye Chen looked serious and said, "The film market is so big, if I don't do this, I will lose a lot." Besides, if you don't catch the meeting and don't want to forge ahead, I still have to pay for you, is there such a reason? ”

Ye Chen can see that they are all Celestial Empire enterprises and strive for some advantages for domestic films, but he is not a nanny, and it is impossible for him to pay for these film and television companies.

If Ye Chen didn't do stunts for foreign film and television companies, although he would have won more advantages for domestic films, it was difficult to guarantee that no one would lie on the credit book and not want to forge ahead.

Ye Chen just gave them some help, and in the end, they had to rely on themselves.

"This ......" Ye Chen's words were very reasonable, and everyone had nothing to say.

"Ye Dong, what are you going to do?" Yue Jianqun asked tentatively.

"I'm going to take two measures, the first one is dragging." Ye Chen explained, "It's imperative to make stunts for foreign film and television companies, but I can delay the time. I don't think it will be done abroad for a year or two. That's the most time I've ever bought for you. During this time, it is up to you whether you can rise or not. ”

One or two years, although it is not a long time, it is not a short time, if it is used well, it can create a lot of blockbusters and make domestic films famous.

"Thank you Ye Dong, we will definitely seize the time and produce more good films." Han Jin said busily.

After a year or two, Ye Chen's losses have already been great, and he can't expect Ye Chen to fight for them more.

"The second is to raise prices." Ye Chen smiled wickedly and said, "Hehe." Didn't you say that it is expensive for foreign teams to make stunts? I'm like a foreign team to learn and make stunts for foreigners, and the price will be doubled first. Then raise the price as appropriate. ”

"Haha!" The crowd laughed, laughed happily.

Ye Chen made stunts for foreign film and television companies, and raised the price high, at least more than doubled. That gave domestic films a huge cost advantage.

Stunt production accounts for a large proportion of the cost, and the total cost of a movie like "Avatar" is as high as half a billion dollars, and although the production cost is not announced, there is a grapevine that says it is 400 million dollars. Maybe not so much, but it's still possible to account for half of the total cost.

If Ye Chen doubled the cost of stunts and made it account for seventy or eighty percent of the total cost, it would be enough for Hollywood.

Hollywood can't do it, it's just this one, there is no semicolon, and Hollywood can only pinch its nose and admit it.

The cost of domestic films is not so high, it is much lower, which makes the competitive advantage of domestic films very obvious.

In this way, if domestic films can't go global and can't establish their own brands, they can't complain about Ye Chen. That's all Ye Chen can help.

"Ye Dong, thank you. In this way, we are more confident. Yue Jianqun was very excited.

For a long time, the cost of domestic films has been a big problem, and the cost of production is too high, and this money has been made by foreign companies, so that there is not much room for maneuver. Now, that's not a problem, and they can do it freely.

Moreover, feng shui takes turns, and now it is Hollywood's turn to carry the burden of rising costs, and its competitiveness will drop significantly, which is a great thing.

"Ye Dong, that's not enough. You'll also have to develop projection equipment. Han Jin reminded Ye Chen.

Although the super light brain is powerful, where can it be used to show movies? This requires specialized projection equipment. With the huge global film market, this requires a lot of film equipment, and Ye Chen can make a lot of money again.

"Thank you, Mr. Han, for the reminder. Your production, I'll give you a nine-percent discount. Ye Chen gladly accepted and reciprocated Han Jin.

The cost of this special effects production is very high, and a nine-percent discount will also save Han Jin a lot of money.

"Thank you, Ye Dong." Han Jin was overjoyed.

"Ye Dong, I think that your stunt production can be divided into many levels, and different levels have different prices. It can not only facilitate the choice of investors, but also give Ye Dong more room for maneuver. Han Jin got the benefits, which greatly stimulated Yue Jianqun, and he also gave Ye Chen advice.

This is indeed a very good suggestion, in this case, Ye Chen slaughtered people and slaughtered others without anything to say. Of course, it's better to use it against Hollywood.

"Good idea. Mr. Yue, I will also give you a nine-percent discount. Ye Chen happily accepted.

Everyone was very excited and made suggestions. Some suggestions are very good and practical, and Ye Chen promised to give them discounts. Some suggestions didn't work at all, Ye Chen refused and didn't give discounts.

Those who get the promise of preferential treatment are very happy, and those who don't get it are very annoyed.

In this way, Ye Chen got a lot of ideas, and he only needed to improve them before he could put them into practice.

This conversation was a happy end, and everyone was happy.

At the same time, Hollywood is also brewing a conspiracy against Ye Chen.

Hollywood is located on the outskirts of California, USA, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery. Some of America's most famous movie giants are located here, and it is the center of world cinema.

Turner is a famous American film giant, Turner Pictures was founded by him, and has made many world-famous movies. He and his subordinates are now watching Ye Chen's all-star concert in his private screening room.

Turner was on vacation, and he didn't like anyone to disturb him, and when his beautiful young female assistant asked him to watch the concert, he was upset and asked his assistant: "Don't you know that I don't like people to disturb me on vacation?" ”

The female assistant replied, "Mr. Turner, I know you don't like to be disturbed on vacation." But I would like to warn you that if you insist on going on vacation, you will blame yourself, so why didn't you heed my advice at that time? ”

Turner reluctantly interrupted his vacation to sit down to the concert. At this sight, he was taken aback, and his mood became heavier and heavier.

Then Turner called all his men to watch.

His men, like him, were more surprised and heavier.

After reading it, Turner and the others were collectively silent, and no one spoke for a long time.

"Come to my office." Turner led his men to his office.

"Ye Chen's concert, you have all watched it, you all talk about it, what do you think?" Turner's face was gloomy and his tone was heavy.

"Mr. Turner, Ye Chen's concert showed extremely advanced stunt technology, which is fatal for us, and we must find a way to deal with it in the first place." One of his subordinates made a statement.

"Idiot, can't I see it? Can't they see it too? Do I need to raise a bullshit idiot like you? You're fired. "Turner was in a very bad mood, and although his men were telling the truth, it was also empty talk, and who couldn't see it?

What Turner needs now is a response, not such empty talk.

"Mr. Turner, please give me another chance." The subordinate was busy begging.

Turner Films is a world-famous movie giant, and the salary is very high, if you lose it, it is too cost-effective.

However, Turner was upset, and he took pity on him and asked someone to take him out.

"Mr. Turner, the technology displayed at the concert was shocking, and it had a big impact not only on us at Turner Films, but also on Hollywood as a whole, and we should work with our peers to deal with this crisis." Another subordinate proposed.

"Well, yes, that's a good suggestion." Turner took his suggestion and decided to join forces with Hollywood's giants to study a countermeasure.

Turner instructed his men to call their peers and invite them to the party.

These peers arrived quickly. Gatherings have always been a favorite way for Americans to have good food and drink, but at this time, they are not in the mood to enjoy it, but gather in Turner's office for a meeting.

"Our dear colleagues: Hollywood has always been the world's most famous film center, and no one has ever been able to shake our position. Today, however, I feel threatened. Ye Chen's concert shows a technology that far exceeds our existing stunt production technology, which will pose an unprecedented threat to our Hollywood. I have invited you here to discuss with you how to deal with this crisis. With a heavy heart, Turner voiced his concerns. (To be continued.) )
