Chapter 387: Getting Involved in the Film Industry (Part II)
"Twenty million dollars? That's impossible? Hahneman shook his head again and again, you must know that although the production cost of Avatar 2 released not long ago was as high as 320 million US dollars, nearly one-third of this money was paid to Cameron and other actors, and one-third was the special effects production cost, and the rest of the money was the real production cost, not including the publicity costs, Li Haoyu was 20 million US dollars as soon as he opened his mouth, which really made Hahnemann unbearable.
Li Haoyu smiled, he also knew that this price was unacceptable to Hahneman, and said: "Mr. Hahneman, I don't know if you have seen the promotion of the latest game "King of Fighters" produced by our Mythical Group; Hahneman shook his head, and although the king of martial arts was popular all over the world, he was not interested in it at all.
"So, Mr. Hahneman, have you seen the movie "The Legend of Qingqiong" that our company launched last year and is set in the king of martial arts?" Li Haoyu continued to ask.
"I've seen it, this movie is very good, and both the box office and word of mouth are very good." Hahnemann couldn't help but take a second look at Li Haoyu, this young man's first film had such a high box office and reputation, which is very rare in the history of film.
Li Haoyu picked up the mouse and operated it on the laptop a few times, pushed the screen to Hahneman's eyes and said, "Hahneman, thank you for the compliment." "Ya * Wen * Yan * Love * First * Hair" But do you know that all the scenes and characters in our "The Legend of Qingqiong" movie are realized through CG technology, do you believe it? ”
The screen of the laptop was playing "The Legend of Qingqiong", and Hahnemann couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this: "All the scenes and characters are realized by CG technology?" ”
Li Haoyu nodded affirmatively and said, "Of course, if Mr. Hahnemann doesn't believe it, he can ask a technician to confirm it." ”
Hahneman swallowed his saliva, he had always thought that the background of the movie The Legend of Qingqiong was virtual, and all the characters were live-action, but now Li Haoyu told him that all the characters were made by CG, how could this not surprise Hahneman.
He now suddenly understands what Li Haoyu means, since the technology of the Myth Group can use CG technology to produce such realistic scenes and characters, then of course this technology can also be used in movies, if this is really the case, then the movies after 2O Century Fox can not spend a sky-high price to hire a special effects company, and the special effects scenes do not have to be shot at risk, they can be directly produced with CG technology!
Although the current special effects technology can also reach the point of being fake, as long as you look carefully, you can still see the difference between the real person and the scene, and there is still a certain distance to be able to distinguish the real from the fake like the mythical group.
Thinking of this, Hahneman immediately nodded and said, "Chairman Li, I agree with your price." Hahneman saw the interests in this very clearly, so he didn't bargain now, and directly agreed to Li Haoyu's offer.
Li Haoyu smiled: "Mr. Hahneman, I mean that the use of special effects projectors is 20 million US dollars per movie, and the use of CG technology starts at 20 million US dollars per movie, and the price is determined according to the scene and how much the special effects are, and the highest is only one-third of the film production cost, do you think it is appropriate?" ”
Hahnemann's heart is full of 10,000 grass and mud horses, with this CG technology, what is the use of that special effects projector? Of course, it's still good to hold a celebration party like the Mythical Group, even if the celebrity is not there.
Hahnemann pondered for a moment and said, "Chairman Li, I would like to ask how long it will take for your CG technology to be produced after the filming of the movie is completed?" ”
Li Haoyu took a sip of tea and said: "Half a month, after the filming of the movie is completed, you will send the samples to us, and it is best for the director to personally explain to us where special effects need to be made, and what effects should be achieved by special effects, and all the special effects of the movie can be completed in half a month at most!" ”
"Is that true?" Hahnemann looked up and asked seriously.
"Mr. Hahneman, do you think I will deceive you with such a clumsy lie?" Li Haoyu said confidently.
Hahneman thought about it, as long as this kind of thing can be confirmed soon after the movie is completed, presumably Li Haoyu will not make this kind of joke regardless of his reputation, he thought for a while and said: "Chairman Li, can your company reach an exclusive licensing agreement with our 2O Century Fox, and in the future, your company can only produce special effects for our 2O Century Fox films?" ”
"Of course you can, but what can 2o Century Fox come up with that makes me feel excited? Equity in the company? Film rights? Or is it a share of the box office? Li Haoyu asked with a smile.
Hahnemann spread his hands and said with a wry smile: "Chairman Li, I didn't say this, but can we not announce it before our first movie together?" ”
Li Haoyu nodded and said: "I can accept this, then I wish us a happy cooperation!" He seems to see the moment when the future myth group will become the largest film special effects company in Hollywood and even the world, and Li Haoyu is full of confidence in this......
