[17] The lion opened his mouth

David is in a good mood today, just like the bright sun outside the window at this time, which makes people feel extremely warm and comfortable in this cold winter.

Gently stirring the cup of coffee, David opened his laptop and browsed his favorite web pages with great interest.

There were very few people who came to drink coffee at this time, and if it wasn't for Xie Feng, David wouldn't have chosen to drink coffee at this time, but this did not affect his happy mood at this time.

At this time, the café welcomed another guest, who was also a foreigner.

Davy's mood was even happier, and he remembered an old Chinese saying, "Where a foreign country meets an old friend", although he did not know the native of his hometown, David was very happy to meet a foreigner in this remote southern city, who was probably from the same country as himself, so he went over to say hello.

However, David's politeness was ignored by the other party, and the fellow seemed to be very hostile to him.

Contrary to David's happy mood, Morensen is still angry, especially after meeting David, a non-Chinese, at this café.

It wasn't until Xie Feng arrived that David figured out the identity of this foreigner, damn it, it turned out to be MGM's person.

After Xie Feng invited the two of them to sit down, he said straight to the point: "I know very well the purpose of the two of you coming to me, and I believe you have also learned about my technical strength through the animated short films circulating on the Internet. To tell you the truth, I have already completed the production of "Interstellar Age" and can be released in theaters at any time, and the two of you don't have to talk to me about cooperation. ”

"What?" David was shocked and asked in disbelief, "Mr. Xie Feng, are you saying that you have completed the animation masterpiece "Interstellar Age"?" Can you tell me about the timing of this animated movie? ”

"The length of the film is more than two hours, and it is definitely well crafted."

Xie Feng smiled.

"It's incredible, it's hard to imagine you're just a student."

Unlike Morenson, David is in charge of 3D animation, and he understands how big a project can be for a blockbuster film composed entirely of 3D animation.

Although Morensen also understands the engineering quantity of 3D animation production, this is not his specialty, he came here today to discuss business with Xie Feng, this is his profession.

Morensen said, "Mr. Xie Feng, how are you going to trade with us?" We at MGM are a long-established film production company with a huge presence in the industry, and there is no doubt about our strength. ”

David was not willing to give in, and immediately said: "Warner Bros. Pictures is also a long-established film company, Mr. Xie Feng must understand that our Warner is no worse than MGM, and Warner sincerely hopes to reach this cooperation with Mr. Xie Feng." ”

Xie Feng smiled: "I think most people only care about the quality of the movie itself, the strength of the director and the popularity of the movie star, and it seems that they rarely pay attention to which film company produces a movie, at least I personally think so." ”

Xie Feng continued: "Business is to make money, and film companies are no exception. Whether a movie can be profitable or not depends mainly on the box office results, which the two of you probably know better than a layman like me. In fact, there is very little money invested in 3D animated films, but because of technical reasons, it is difficult to meet the visual enjoyment of the audience in the current production of 3D animated films, so there is not much money. ”

David shrugged his shoulders, "That's right, it's true, even I, in the use of pure animation technology, can't achieve the effect of "Interstellar Age", it's just too perfect, how did you do it?" ”

Finding that Xie Feng didn't look at him right, David hurriedly said, "Ahem, I'm just curious, and I don't mean anything else, although I really want to know." ”

"So, Mr. Xie Feng, after watching your production of "Interstellar Age", we at MGM have determined that if this animation masterpiece can be completed, it will be a sensation in the whole world, and it will be the first 3D animated film in the history of cinema to reach 99% realism, I think you will be very happy to cooperate with MGM, because we will bring you great wealth, I believe we have this strength." Morenson smiled, "You're going to be a multimillionaire overnight because you told me that the animated masterpiece 'Star Age' is complete." ”

Xie Feng nodded lightly, he was not in a hurry to make a decision, but took out the mobile USB flash drive from his pocket.

"Mr. David, can you borrow your notebook?" Xie Feng asked.

David nodded, "Of course, I'm honored. ”

Xie Feng said "thank you", connected the mobile USB flash drive to the computer, then opened the video playback software, pushed the notebook in front of the two, and said: "Before bargaining with you, I think it is necessary to let you know more about the film "Interstellar Age", so as not to affect your judgment of this movie, otherwise, you will say that I am a lion in a while." Below, please take your time to enjoy the promotional clip of the movie that I edited, I think you will be very excited. ”

David and Morenson didn't speak again, as their eyes were drawn to the images on their computer screens.

The "Interstellar Era" created by "Xie Yi" is naturally not comparable to Zhang Zijie's ancient machine.

In this "Interstellar Age", Xie Feng completely uses the technical software used in the future world to make simple virtual illusions, although it is not a professional-level technology like photon energy induction, but for humans in this era, this technology has gone beyond the scope of three-dimensional animation and belongs to a real multi-dimensional stereoscopic animation film.

With the ancient 3D stereoscopic film playback technology of this era, the audience can feel the immersive effect as if they are within reach as long as they wear special devices.

3D stereoscopic playback technology appeared a long time ago in this era, but the effect is average, and the technical content can even be described as simple for Xie Feng.

In Xie Feng's time, holographic high-fidelity simulation games were already proliferating, let alone movies.

3D animation can do a lot of scenes that ordinary movies can't do, as long as it can be imagined, it can be made with software, and the rest is to see how the production effect. This is also the reason why several major studios such as Warner and MGM were shocked by the animated film "Interstellar Age", because it not only achieved an effect that ordinary movies could not achieve, but the effect was so realistic that if you didn't look closely, you couldn't even find that the characters in the movie were actually animated.

After watching this short video film that is only ten minutes long, David can no longer express his inner shock in words, even Morenson, a layman in charge of market management, can see the difference between "Interstellar Age" and other movies, the scene of a million mecha battles, is too shocking.

"I take the liberty of asking, Mr. Xie Feng, are you an alien?"

David can only use this sentence to describe his mood at this time.

Xie Feng shrugged his shoulders and said in a joking tone, "Hehe, I'm possessed by aliens. ”

David and Morenson both chuckled and thought the joke was good. It's just that they thought that Xie Feng's words were actually true.

He's an alien, right......

Xie Feng straightened his expression and said: "I believe that the two of you have realized how much wealth the "Interstellar Era" will bring us, I would like to state one thing here, although the production technology was invented by me, but "Interstellar Age" is not the result of my personal labor, he was produced by dozens of people for three years, including countless painstaking efforts, and it was only recently completed. ”

The reason why Xie Feng said this is that he didn't want others to think that he was very perverted, so he just made a clip some time ago, how long has it been since he finished a film? People don't believe it.

Xie Feng paused and said: ""Interstellar Age" just wants to create better revenue through the forces behind you, and you haven't paid a penny, so what you get is only one-third of the total revenue of "Interstellar Age", I mean, my friends and I occupy sixty percent of all box office revenue. ”

"Sixty percent? My God, you might as well go and rob. Morenson exclaimed.

David was silent, he also thought that Xie Feng wanted too much.

Xie Feng smiled indifferently, "I think the two of you may not understand that by doing this, I am giving you money." My friends and I account for 60 percent, and of the remaining 40 percent, 3 percent is used for pre-propaganda, 7 percent is the tax revenue of various countries, and in the end, you will get 30 percent, such a risk-free business, if you don't want to do it, I can find other people, and even I can set up a film company on my own, but I didn't do it, I won't say the reason, you go back and communicate with the leaders, I'll do that. ”

David and Morensen were both silent and did not immediately make any hasty decisions, Xie Feng was right, both of them needed to go back and report to their superiors, whether they succeeded or not, it was not up to them to have the final say.

"Mr. Xie Feng, can I make a copy of this promotional video and take it with me?" David asked.

Morenson also offered to make a copy, and Xie Feng readily agreed to the request of the two.

Xie Feng left the phone and finally said: "You can call me after you make a decision, and I will go to you when the time comes, of course, I don't want to wait too long." ”

Looking at Xie Feng's distant back, David couldn't help but sigh: "The Chinese are really terrible, such a genius can endure for so long." ”

Morensen disagreed, sarcastically saying, "Most of China's geniuses are not in China. ”
