245. Special effects team
PS: Thank you for being in a coma~~ Ah haha's two valuable monthly passes, ask for a recommendation!
"Is this it?" Ye Sumang asked the person beside him.
"This is it, yes." Hearing Ye Sumang's question, Liu Xian replied affirmatively.
This person named Liu Xian is Ye Sumang's temporary assistant, although he is now working as an agent, but he is a lawyer, so he was temporarily caught by Ye Sumang's side to do his part in the negotiations that need to be faced for a while.
"Then let's go up, the fourth floor, right?" Ye Sumang smiled and took the lead in the building.
The outside looks very dilapidated office building, and there is nothing worth surprising inside, because of the glass filthy and somewhat dim corridor, the old-fashioned staircase is slightly narrower, and even the corridor is covered with all kinds of small advertisements such as "unlocking" and "applying for certificates", and the most unbearable thing is that there is an indescribable peculiar smell, which makes people cover their noses.
It is hard for Ye Sumang to imagine that such a good team is hidden in such an almost harsh working environment.
Soon, Ye Sumang took Liu Xian to the fourth floor.
After arriving at the fourth floor, Ye Sumang suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, compared with the dirty mess on other floors, the fourth floor was much cleaner, and the walls obviously had traces of painting, although it was only the most ordinary white, but compared with the downstairs, it immediately gave people a new feeling.
In addition, the glass and floor were also wiped very clean, which made Ye Sumang and Liu Xian, who walked here, couldn't help but feel relieved.
"Excuse me, is the Phantom Special Effects Company here?" Stopping a passerby, Ye Sumang asked.
It's not that he doesn't want to look for it, it's a small floor with many partitions, and Ye Sumang can't figure it out for a while, and he doesn't know where to start.
"Who... Yes! Ye Su Mang? The person who was stopped had some impatience on his face. However, after turning his head and finding Ye Sumang, his face instantly became full of surprise.
"Excuse me, is the Phantom Special Effects Company here?" Ye Sumang smiled and repeated his question again.
"That's right, start the corridor of Xiangyou from here. It's all our company. When this person heard that Ye Sumang was asking about his own company, he was even more excited, and hurriedly pulled Ye Sumang to introduce.
"Is Mr. Liu Shihong here now?"
"Yes, Liu Tou is working on a small case now, I'll take you there." This person was very warm-hearted, and after seeing Ye Sumang, he didn't care about the work at hand, and enthusiastically took Ye Sumang and walked towards the depths of the corridor.
Soon, Ye Sumang met his long-awaited Liu Shihong himself.
There is a big gap with Ye Sumang's imagination, in Ye Sumang's impression. Generally, this kind of computer maniac is raunchy, like Mark, who is always sloppy, but after seeing Liu Shihong, Ye Sumang changed his mind.
I saw that this man in his thirties was dressed in straight trousers and shirts, his hair was meticulously groomed, and if he had a pair of eyes on the bridge of his nose, he looked like an executive of a foreign-funded company. And not the leader of a small special effects company.
"Mr. Ye, why are you here?" Ye Sumang's arrival surprised Liu Shihong.
"You have been friends with Mr. Liu for a long time. But I have never had an opinion, and this time I came to Hengdian, thinking about how to come and see. Ye Sumang said with a smile.
Because Liu Shihong was the head of the special effects production team of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy I" last time, and he was also responsible for the special effects of Sword and Fairy II this time, Ye Sumang's arrival was naturally not without purpose, and his idea was very simple. It is to acquire this promising special effects team.
Liu Shihong, one of the pioneers of domestic special effects, studied in the United States in his early years, learned first-class special effects, and then returned to China for development. At the beginning, Ye Sumang was very similar to meeting him when he was a special effect of Fairy Jianyi, but unfortunately he didn't have enough fate and always missed it, but this couldn't stop Ye Sumang from appreciating him.
The special effects of Xianjian Yi were definitely leading in the film and television industry at that time, and this is not the strength of the other party's all-out efforts, after all, the Xianjian series is a TV series, and there is a great lack of investment in special effects, and this time in the promotional video of Xianjian II, Ye Sumang once again saw the work of this special effects team, and there was a great improvement compared to Xianjian, which also made Ye Sumang's mind come alive.
As a filmmaker, it is inevitable to encounter places that require special effects, especially now that film shooting equipment is developing more and more rapidly, as far as Ye Sumang knows, many foreign special effects teams have begun to study 3Djishu, which also makes Ye Sumang sniff out the route of future film development, and it will definitely be an era of special effects hegemony.
At that time, special effects will also become an integral part of the film.
Ye Sumang doesn't like to solve the problem at the end of the day, so he came to this company, ready to acquire this special effects team, I believe that with his financial support, this special effects team will mature quickly, even if it is comparable to those top foreign special effects teams in the future, it is not impossible.
And he didn't want to hide the purpose of Ye Sumang's trip, and after testing each other for a few words, Ye Sumang said his intention.
"Director Ye, I don't have much opinion on your acquisition, and to be honest, I'm very happy, but I still have a question, I have to ask you before I can make a decision." Liu Shihong was surprisingly cheerful, after hearing Ye Sumang's acquisition intention, he was happy at first, but his face became worried again.
"Just ask." Ye Sumang responded.
"Do you know the input of a special effects company? If, as you said, we dedicate ourselves to the research of special effects, then for a while, my team will not be able to generate any revenue for the company, and it will cost a lot of money. Liu Shihong said very sincerely, this is also his heart disease.
In fact, as a top team in China, there are also many companies that have proposed to acquire them, but in the end they were scared away by the huge amount of investment, which is also the reason why Weishenme Liu Shihong will become hesitant after hearing that Ye Sumang has an intention to acquire.
This kind of thing should be explained first, after all, if the negotiation is not good, it is likely to cause the company to abandon the team, or even directly lead to the dissolution of the team, which is not the result that Liu Shihong hopes to see.
However, after hearing Liu Shihong's question, Ye Sumang couldn't help but be happy.
If it involves something too professional, Ye Sumang may be really embarrassed, but if it is in terms of capital investment, Ye Sumang is relieved.
He has the money, and he has long been ready to invest a lot of money first, Ye Sumang will never be a short-sighted person, he will see the future of a mature special effects team, and he will naturally be mentally prepared. (To be continued......)
