Chapter 108: The Special Effects Company

Tang Jingnian felt so tired.

He felt that he really couldn't keep up with the boss's jumping ideas, not to mention that he had set up an animation branch in Xiangjiang before, and now he had to drum up a special effects branch. The most troublesome thing is that the boss put forward the general direction and ideas, and the specific things are all pushed to himself to operate, but he doesn't understand this at all, how many Xiangjiang people in the 80s understand computers and programming?

But whether you understand it or not, you have to do what the boss tells you to do, and you have to do it as well as possible. Don't talk about other aspects of the fat man Tang who suddenly got a high position, this is still full of energy. Fortunately, Heung Kong has many firms that serve various companies, and as long as you can afford to pay for it, everything can be done. And the biggest advantage of the boss is that he is willing to spend money, which provides a lot of convenience for Tang Fatzi.

The purchase of equipment and patents was done without much time and effort under the supervision of the boss. The eighties were the golden age of electronic talent, and it was expensive to poach people from North America and other countries. However, there is nothing else in the company, and there is a lot of money, and it is a local tyrant. I contacted the headhunting company, and a stack of talent lists was placed in front of me within a few days, and there were many white Chinese. It's a pity that there are very few locals in Xiangjiang, so it's still indispensable to go to North America.

Another surprise is that his company actually has some fame in North America. There are actually many people here who know Oriental DreamWorks, which makes them proud to be a senior executive of the company. With the popularity of movies and Transformers animations in other cities, the fame of Oriental DreamWorks has also spread to all parts of the world.

After two months of busy work, now is the time to report to the boss.

"Yes, yes, things are done quite neatly." Li Xuechu was greatly satisfied. Of course. I didn't do anything myself, and I didn't know how much time and energy it would take to make sense. In short, I have lived my own psychological expectations.

"Other problems are easy to handle, but the main thing is that people are not easy to find." In front of Li Xuechu. Tang Jingnian maintained his previous courtesy. "Most of the two dozen people expected to be recruited are from North America, and a few are from other parts of Asia.

"Thanks to the company's previous fame, it has provided a lot of convenience for recruitment." Manager Tang slapped a little ass without a trace.

"That's right, after all, movies and animations have been exported for a while, and it's time to accumulate a lot of fame." Li Xuechu still likes to listen to this, and sure enough, he shows a little complacency.

"Get rid of the trouble of people. There are other difficulties, but they are not difficult to solve. It will take about two months for the company to start its operation. There is also the relocation of the company and the placement of employees, after all, it is not a Xiangjiang ......"

"This is normal. It doesn't matter, you just let it go, and you can report the financial problems to the finances. Li Xuechu waved his hand: "You can do trivial things, don't ask me for everything." ”

"Okay boss, I know how to do it." Manager Tang squeezed out a smiling face and agreed.

Encountering this kind of hands-off shopkeeper, Manager Tang was both distressed and happy. There is more work and pressure on the body, and the relative authority is also higher. Of course. It's still happier to change to someone with more outstanding ability, but Manager Tang, who is used to doing things without merit but without fault, still feels that it is enough.

"It's better to hurry up, the company will start to launch some big projects in the second half of the year, and special effects will be indispensable at that time. Before that. You can consider taking some orders such as advertisements. Don't think about making money first, you can support employees, and just run in the technical strength. ”

"Our local market is not very large. And things like wireless ATV have their own special effects companies, but I'm afraid of ......" Manager Tang expressed his concerns.

"The market is not big. There are also few competitors, and you can also consider the surrounding market. There is still something to be done. Li Xuechu is not worried about this, unless it can't be done, there is no shortage of market for good special effects companies. Computer applications have not yet been fully integrated into special effects technology, and now they are starting to be on the same starting line as foreign base pen Quge, saving the trouble of spending a lot of money to buy and use copyrights in the future.

"If you can't do it, you can raise yourself, and the company's own needs will not be small in the next few years."

"Does the company really want to make a big movie? I'm afraid this risk is a bit big. "After all, the Xiangjiang market is so big, and it is difficult to say about other cities, coupled with the experience of Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers, Manager Tang is inevitably a little worried.

Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers each launched a large-scale zuò this year. Golden Harvest's Xianxia blockbuster Shushan Legend also specially invited Hollywood companies to participate in the special effects production, but the final box office was not high. Xu Ke also had no shame to face Boss Zou, and ran to Xinyi City to hide in disgrace. This made Lei Tycoon smile crookedly, and he didn't say anything about Jiahe, and took out a director for nothing.

Shaw's 'big zuò' interstellar blunt tire is a mess as it is in history. However, this pseudo-science fiction film, which claims to invest 20 million, has been cut again and again, and finally watched as a film, with a cost of about 5 million at most.

The movie didn't lose much, it was the Shaw Brothers signboard that was lost, but in recent years, this signboard has not been loud. Looking at the current situation, Shaw Brothers is afraid that he will not last for a few years, and the butterfly effect has not changed his fate much.

However, what is different is that Golden Harvest and Shaw Brothers each have a movie to get back to the scene. Hurricane rescue and Xiaoao Jianghu did not adapt to the water and soil caused by the regional and chronological gap as Li Xuechu worried. Chen Long's new film has lost the previous witty action movie style, which makes some audiences a little uncomfortable, but the box office table is not bad. And the smiling proud rivers and lakes can be described as amazing, and Director Hu Jinquan is estimated to turn over the salted fish.

In this Spring Festival stall, Xiaoao Jianghu has become the only fig leaf for Shaw Brothers. Correspondingly, Director Hu was co-opted by Shaw Brothers to start filming a new martial arts movie. However, Li Xuechu is not optimistic about Director Hu's prospects, and in terms of Shaw Brothers' stinginess in cost, this movie is afraid that it will bring him back to his original shape.

"Jiahe and Shaw Brothers have both filmed a big production, and the final result is not optimistic, if we also plant it......"

Li Xuechu interrupted him: "Sooner or later, it's better to take the lead now than to do it later." Isn't it all a big deal, isn't last year's best partner a good example? ”

The audience in Xiangjiang is actually looking forward to the big production, and one of the main reasons why Hollywood can't enter this market now is the joint boycott of the Xiangjiang film circle, and the audience didn't show any disgust, after all, it is their own land, but the thirst for the big production zuò has also stimulated the powerful large companies in Xiangjiang, especially after the success of the best partner. The Legend of Shushan and the Interstellar Blunt Fetus were actually born after the success of this movie.

"The cost of our successive films is not small in terms of locality, aren't they all successful? The main thing is the problem of the subject matter and the script, and I'll solve it. ”

"Okay, so when are you going to prepare?" Manager Tang is still very confident in Li Xuechu's script, although he also 'lost' once some time ago, but this company is actually supported by his script.

"This is not in a hurry, first do the special effects company's affairs, it is the same when it can operate normally and then launch, the time will be set to be more abundant, after all, the cost is high, and you can't be careless."

If you want to add special effects, the film production cycle will be lengthened, but this is also the mainstream in the future, and it is difficult for future directors to have six or seven movies a year like now, in addition to the refinement of the production zuò, special effects are also one of the reasons.

"Okay, I get it."

After Tang Jingnian left, Li Xuechu began to have a headache about the theme of the movie. After all, it was the 80s, and some later movies couldn't make the original effect even if they were killed. It's really not easy to find a sci-fi film that can be made at the current level and can be screened. The most troublesome thing is that the company has not yet been established, and I don't know what level my company's special performance has reached.

The special effects in the West have reached a certain level, like Star Wars in the past few years, which is not bad, basically representing the highest level today, but my company will definitely not reach this level, but I don't know how much worse.

"Let's take it one step at a time, it's still a long time anyway." (To be continued!)
