Chapter 85: Returning Technicians

The things of the movie are simple and clear, the general thing has been decided, and some details can be talked about by the people below, and now what we have to talk about is nothing more than the issue of funding and the production cycle. After discussing in a whisper for a few minutes, Director Liu whispered the price: the two parts together are 955,000 yuan, accurate to 1,000, and will be completed by the end of the year. Of course, if there are Xiangjiang actors and crew members joining, the salary will be calculated separately, and China is reluctant to bear the salary of Xiangjiang actors, which is too expensive.

Li Xuechu's eyelids jumped slightly, and the cost difference was several times. These two films add up to less than 10 million in Xiangjiang, and the cattle herding class of live-action movies may be cheaper in the spring, but cartoons are expensive, at least 12 pictures a second, more than 90 minutes in length, and more than 70,000 picture lengths. In the era when computers were not yet used in animation production, this workload was not just a joke.

Although the exchange rate of the renminbi and the Xiangjiang currency is now positioned at about one to five in China, and the cost is about half lower if you look at this exchange rate, the exchange rate that is patted on the head is not recognized outside, and Li Xuechu can not use five million yuan in Xiangjiang to exchange one million yuan.

Li Xuechu patted his chest and promised two million funds, which can be added if it is not enough. It is also guaranteed that if the finished film can achieve box office results, it can reward 500,000 yuan as a box office share.

The film studio also enjoyed the pleasure of cooperating with local tyrants, and the atmosphere at the wine table was peaceful.

Li Xuechu knew that the film studio would basically spend all the two million, and in the later stage, he would come over and ask for money. But I don't want to waste two good movies for the cheapness of three melons and two dates.

"By the way, can the movie be released in China?"

"This ......" several people looked at each other, and finally Director Liu answered: "At present, only the shooting permission is provided. The release has not been mentioned yet. Mr. Li, you didn't ask for it to be released in China before. ”

"I didn't mention it. It's just a pity. I still hope that these two films can be released in China, and I believe in my script. I'm confident in your abilities, but it's a pity. ”

Wu Yigong also fell silent, as a director, of course, he hopes that his works will be recognized by the outside world, especially in his own country. I like this script very much, and even postponed the filming of the past in the south of the city, which I had seen earlier, and I have been thinking about this work for two years. The film to be shot could not be released, which was also a blow to the director.

The atmosphere cooled down for a while.

"Please ask Director Liu to inform his superiors if these two movies can be released in China. I can not make money. The two parts can be charged a copyright royalty of one yuan each. Li Xuechu pondered for a moment and said: "Of course, I will take back the copyright after three years, and if it is screened in China, you can put the factory logo of the Modu Film Factory in front." ”

Captain Liu is happy, this is another big meatloaf. In this sentence, the outsourcing business that was originally a one-shot deal has become a cooperative operation. Of course, the profits of state-owned factories have to be handed over to the state, but this is also a political achievement, and there is a way to keep some. It can go down as a benefit.

It's not difficult to pass the review, the two films are basically not involved in politics, especially the cartoons, and there is basically no risk of being beaten back. If it's owned by a domestic company, there's no such thing as a bad thing. The difficulty lies in the background of foreign investment. The little foreign exchange that the country has painstakingly accumulated over the past few years with agricultural products, oil, and minerals does not want to be earned.

"Hehe, with your words, I will definitely reflect the situation. I think it won't be a problem for sure. "Director Liu still dares to shoot this chest.

"That's good. As long as I can show it, I'm relieved. ”

"Certainly, you can rest assured. I definitely take this as my own business. ”

Can you not be careful? The money is basically his own, and now Director Liu can take out two yuan from his pocket. Reimbursements are generously waived.

"Hehehe, happy cooperation."

"It's a pleasure to work with."

Li Xuechu is ready not to make money in China for five years, as long as the sign of Oriental DreamWorks is well remembered by the domestic audience, he will not worry about making no money in the future. Hollywood has also done a long-term cabbage price export movie, to be familiar with the audience in other countries, it is a good opportunity to capture the market, the previous losses are a hundred times earned, not to mention that the output cost of the movie is really not high, just a few copies.

After a meal, both things were discussed. But it's too early to go back, and I have to stay here for at least half a month about the red and white machine. I didn't see the technician take the reassuring pill, how could I go home with peace of mind.

"Ah Hu, tomorrow's ticket will be refunded, it looks like we have to stay here for a while."

"Okay boss." The one-eyed bodyguard hesitated for a moment and asked, "Boss, can I take a leave of absence?" ”

Li Xuechu was stunned, slapped his forehead, and saw that this thing was done, and people finally came back for a trip, of course they wanted to go home to have a look.

"Of course you can, I was negligent in this matter, give you a month of paid leave, it's best to bring the family to Xiangjiang, so that you can work at ease, and I'll handle the visa matter."

Chen Hu showed a rare embarrassed smile. "It's enough for me to take half a month off, mainly to see the old and young at home. However, the second elder is old, and I am afraid that it is not suitable to go to Xiangjiang, which is not familiar with life, so let's take a look at this. ”

"You can do it, but I'll still advise you to bring all the people over." Li Xuechu thought about it and said: "Also, Ah Hu, you can help me pay attention to whether there are any suitable bodyguards, veterans and special police officers are fine, if you can, bring a dozen or so people over." ”

I asked Brother De for this, but compared to Brother De, who left a case record, Chen Hu, who retired due to injury and came to Xiangjiang through a regular way, is obviously more suitable.

"Okay!" Ah Hu agreed.

Looking at Chen Hu, who turned around and strode away, Li Xuechu shook his head and smiled. This person is really born to be a bodyguard, he can't see a few expressions with a cold face all day long, he can use three words to reply, he doesn't use five words, and he looks like he loves everyone, including himself. After getting along for so long, I can be regarded as seeing the temperament of others.

Director Zhang moved faster than he thought, and the next day he brought someone over and knocked on Li Xuechu's room.

"This is the 'technical authority' you found?" Li Xuechu looked at the young man who was less than thirty in front of him in surprise.

Director Zhang smiled awkwardly: "This is Comrade Gu Xinwei, a highly talented student who graduated from a prestigious university in the United States, and only returned to China the year before last. Although Xiao Gu is a little younger. But Mr. Li, don't underestimate him,"

Li Xuechu was in awe. It's not that it's the identity of a top student at the old American University, but that the talents who can be called back to China in this era are basically respectable. Li Xuechu asked himself if he was reborn in this capacity. I don't necessarily dare to make such a decision. It is not uncommon for high-achieving students to study in the United States in Xiangjiang, but most of them are majoring in business administration or law and finance, and engineering talents can't stay in Xiangjiang, and there is no such soil.

"Hello Mr. Li." Gu Gong was a little unhappy with the contempt of this young man who was younger than himself, but he still said hello without humility or arrogance.

Technicians have their own tempers, especially now. usually ignores those high-ranking officials or something, but if it weren't for the task pressed down this time, he would never come to mess around with a local tyrant in Xiangjiang. Does Hong Kong understand electronic technology? Gu Gong, who has been staying in the old United States all the year round, is not looking up at the outside like some people in China now. At most, it's a new electronic watch, if that's also electronic technology.

"Disrespectful, disrespectful." Li Xuechu welcomed people in. Just be a reliable person. It's normal for a technical bull to come up with this thing.

"What kind of 'electronic high-tech' are you going to do this time?" As soon as Pu entered the door, Gu Gong asked straight to the point.

"It's not high-tech, it's just an electronic product that our company is going to open." Ignoring the attitude of others with a little rush, Li Xuechu took out the sketches and product explanations drawn in the past two days.

Gu Gong took a stack of drawings and instructions and looked at them directly, while Li Xuechu tried his best to explain in layman's colloquial language on the side.

"In general, this product is a game console, with one master and two controllers at a time, Gu Gong you know the handheld, right?"

"Yes." How could Gu Gong, who has been in the United States for so long, not know about the electronic products that have come out in the past few years, looking at the control keys of this handle, it is obviously evolved from the handheld.

"What do you use as an output device?" Gu Gong asked.

"Huh?" I couldn't grasp it for a while.

"I mean, play with what. Is it to make a monitor? ”

"Oh. Don't bother. Li Xuechu pointed to the TV next to him: "Just use it, it's best to use a color TV to distinguish the effect of color, and a black and white TV can rely on the shade of gray to display different colors." ”

"With a TV?" Gu Gong was a little surprised for a while, but he lowered his head and thought about it. Agreed: "It is indeed feasible. ”

If you don't use a TV, the penetration rate is not as high. This is the biggest success factor for the rapid popularity of red and white.

Li Xuechu continued: "The TV makes the display screen and uses the controller to control the game, while the game itself relies on a special game chip. I've got a couple of simple games in mind here. Let's see if you have any specialized IC talents to help me realize him. The size of the chip memory is not too big. There is a dedicated slot left on the console where you can switch between different games. ”

Gu Gong thought for a moment. "Software is my weakness, but we still have software professionals. You don't have to worry about that, Mr. Li. This project is not very difficult, it is very feasible, and I personally think it is very promising. Mr. Lee, I wish you success. ”

"Thank you." The two of them clasped hands together.

Gu Gong, who has been in contact with the U.S. electronics industry, does not despise the game industry like other Chinese, purely from an economic point of view, as long as there is a market, making game consoles may not earn less than making airplanes, although the difficulty and impact on the industry are not at the same level. However, there are many international giants who have developed from small projects, and this is actually something that the country cannot afford to pay attention to.

"Oh, you must pay attention to the production cost when researching." Li Xuechu said a problem that had been ignored by state-owned enterprises in later generations for a long time, but then changed his words: "Forget it, let's make things first, and grab patents first." ”

"You'll pay attention." Gu Gong said with a smile.

Li Xuechu breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, he was a person who had been in contact with the world of capital, and if he was to change to someone who only realized the technology regardless of the cost, it would be much more difficult to communicate.

"I'll take these materials back and study them, I think you will definitely be able to see the finished product in three months, Mr. Li." After estimating the technical difficulty, Gu Gong also had a bottom in his heart, this idea is excellent, but technically there is no difficulty, and the domestic technicians who are tackling the 100 million times computer can be easily realized by sending a few middle-level people over.

"Gu Gong, you are free. By the way, after a while, I think I need to buy patents, Gu Gong, do you have time to accompany you? "It's really hard to find someone who understands the Western world and has professional knowledge, and this one happens to be the one in front of you.

"Buying patents? Yes, I will report to my superiors and give you an answer tomorrow. "After all, from the West, Gu Gong doesn't think that this thing is not important, in the West, if the company's products want to gain a firm foothold, it is estimated that they will be killed without this thing.
