358.Chapter 358: Forming Nirvana Light and Shadow
The popularity of "The Legend of Wukong" is shocking, in just one month, the initial 100,000 typeset prints were sold out, and then continued to be printed, even so, the market is also in short supply, and by the ninth printing, it just filled the emptiness of the market.
Within a month, "The Legend of Wukong" sold more than 4 million copies, topping the list of royalty income for that month and even that year.
Tens of millions of dollars in royalties per month are eye-catching!
There is a saying in the market, "Who is the best at singing among directors, the best at writing among singers, and the most profitable among writers?" Zhang heng! ”
At the same time, the audition of the actors of "The Legend of Wukong" has also been screened.
In the last official news, Nirvana Film and Television Company has already revealed to the public and the media that this time the film and television production project of "The Legend of Wukong" will be launched, and all new actors will be used.
In the news announced on the official website this time, among the four masters and apprentices, except for Deng Chao who played Tang Seng and Liu Yifei who played Zixia Fairy, the rest of them were all unknown actors.
Monkey King, played by a rookie actor named Quan Class; Zhu Bajie, played by Zheng Tailai, a dragon actor and second-class actor; Sha Wujing, played by actor Liu Taotao.
As for other characters like White Dragon Horse and Tree Spirit, they are all some dragon actors.
It stands to reason that the salaries of these actors, even if they are fatally raised, will not be higher than one million US dollars, after all, they are all unknown actors, but why, the official investment of Nirvana Zuò is as high as 100 million US dollars, which is nearly 800 million yuan!
It's all about the rhythm of making a blockbuster! Even if Zhang Heng is not bad for money, he can't burn money like this!
You must know that "The Legend of Wukong" from the screenwriter to the director is all from Zhang Heng alone, and it is completely a business!
And even then, would it take $100 million?
"Do you want to use CG special effects compositing technology?"
When fans were confused and discussed, the latest news released by Nirvana Film and Television Company confirmed the fans' thoughts.
"Nirvana Film and Television Production Company officially announced that Nirvana Light and Shadow Special Effects Company, with an investment of more than one billion US dollars, was officially established!"
Nirvana light and shadow special effects company? Investing a billion dollars?
Everyone was shocked!
Since the rise of computer technology, after so many years, the world does not know how many special effects companies have been established, but they are all defeated in this grand money-burning game, either acquired or bankrupt, and the special effects companies that can be used in the world are only the four major special effects companies such as Industrial Light and Magic and Weta Digital.
And Zhang Heng officially announced the establishment of a special effects company?
And the investment amount is one billion dollars!
Sure enough, burn money!
Countless people burst into tears, this is really a game played by the rich!
However, some professionals said that even the four major special effects companies, in terms of a single person, their market value may not exceed 500 million US dollars, and Nirvana Light and Shadow has just opened and announced an investment of up to one billion US dollars?
Everyone will be skeptical, thinking that Nirvana Film and Television is exaggerating.
Soon, someone broke the news that Nirvana Light and Shadow, formerly a special effects company on the verge of bankruptcy in New York, was acquired by Zhang Heng three years ago, and began to carry out technical and financial restructuring, and some witnesses said that Nirvana Light and Shadow purchased nearly ten supercomputers worth nearly 10 million US dollars alone!
Generally speaking, if a special effects company can have a supercomputer with extremely powerful computing power, it can barely be called a developed company, and Nirvana Light and Shadow has introduced nearly ten units at once!
What is this for?
According to the survey, Nirvana Light and Shadow not only purchased several supercomputers, but also hired professional-level professors from many well-known universities such as Columbia and Oxford to provide technical assistance.
This......
Is this just to make a "The Legend of Wukong"?
But even so, a special effects company that invests billion-dollar zuò...... This money number is too exaggerated, and it is completely possible to acquire any of the four major special effects companies in the world!
Everyone knows that because of the tight demand of special effects companies in the global film and television market, film and television companies that want to produce special effects have to wait for a long time to complete the production of their own film special effects, which also creates the arrogance and high salaries of the employees of special effects companies at the same time, and also makes the cost of film production increase again and again!
Could it be that the appearance of Nirvana's light and shadow is to break the barriers of this strange circle?
Zhang Heng doesn't want to act on people's faces?
There are many opinions in the outside world, and all kinds of conspiracies and conspiracies are pouring in, which makes people can't help but be excited when they buy new newspapers every day, as if they have seen through the conspiracy in the dark.
But in fact, Zhang Heng didn't have that many ideas at all!
Three years ago, when I invested 500 million US dollars to set up a special effects company, it was entirely for the purpose of shooting "Avatar", a super blockbuster that became the box office champion in the previous life.
And now, "Avatar", which has been prepared for three years, has reached the time to get ready to go, and as soon as "The Legend of Wukong" ends, it will be announced that filming will start, shocking everyone's vision!
The billion-dollar investment is all about creating a gimmick.
The special effects company, just maintaining Nirvana Film and Television Company, is too luxurious, so in normal times, Nirvana Light and Shadow will also take orders from other production companies.
My special effects company has invested more than a billion dollars, why don't you try our technology?
Come on, you are satisfied with the special effects package made by Nirvana Light and Shadow!
Huaxia's film and television production companies, do you still have to travel thousands of miles to the United States to make special effects? Not at all! Our Nirvana Light and Shadow fully has the ability and points of all special effects companies, they can't make CG character actions, we can! They can't make special effects, and so can we!
And in terms of price, as a citizen of the same country, I'll give you a 10% discount, okay?
What the? Nine percent off are you too expensive? 20% off! Couldn't be less!
With a huge Chinese film and television market and a dense population of more than one billion people, it is definitely a potential global special effects film market!
In this age of such a high rate of genuine assimilation, what could be more corrective than watching a special effects movie in a theater with 3D glasses?
Imagine how you feel when the characters on the screen come to you, when waterfalls, forests, and flowing fires fly past your eyes and overhead?
It's just cool!
There is no doubt that the appearance of Nirvana light and shadow not only excites Zhang Heng's fans, but also the genuine movie fans in major theaters across the country are also the most excited, which means that Huaxia has begun to enter the era of special effects like the United States, and in the near future, special effects blockbusters like "Hacker Empire", "The Lord of the Rings", "Spider-Man" and "Titanic" will also appear!
Pride and pride rise in the hearts of every Chinese people!
However, the people in charge of the world's four major special effects companies don't have such a good face, this is **naked snatching their jobs!
After struggling and fighting for decades, a four-legged special effects era was finally formed, and suddenly a Nirvana light and shadow special effects company appeared, and it was menacing, claiming to invest a billion dollars in the system!
Nima, Lao Tzu has worked hard for so many years, and the entire company adds up to less than one billion, and your grandmother's starting capital is more than one billion?!
Defy!
What is the result of dissatisfaction?
If you don't accept it, just do it!
As a result, the four major special effects companies of Industrial Light & Magic, Weta Digital, Digital Field, and Sony Graphics began to join forces to promulgate a dark message in Hollywood and even the global film and television industry.
Any company that cooperates with Nirvana Light and Shadow will be banned by the four major special effects companies, and the company will never be allowed to make special effects!
This is the joint monopoly behavior of Chiguoguo!
However, the obscenity accumulated over the years has made all the production companies look forward to the Nirvana Light and Shadow that claims to be 9% off or even 80% off, and no one dares to tear their faces with the four major special effects companies before they are familiar with the real special effects production strength of Nirvana Light and Shadow.
Even if Nirvana Light and Shadow is strong, they will carefully consider cooperating with Nirvana Light and Shadow, after all, once they cooperate with Nirvana Light and Shadow, then they will be in the same boat as each other, and there is no possibility of getting off the boat!
At that time, no matter whether Nirvana Light and Shadow is willing to give them zuò or not, it is impossible for other special effects companies to consider cooperating with them anymore!
So be careful!
Of course, the most important thing is to look at Nirvana's own strength!
If there is no corresponding strength, the appearance of Nirvana Light and Shadow can only be a joke!
As a result, everyone began to stare at the first work "The Legend of Wukong" produced by Nirvana Light and Shadow!
For a while, the attention of the world made the overseas popularity of "The Legend of Wukong" soar again and again, and it expanded its influence fiercely!
But what people didn't expect was that Nirvana Light and Shadow first launched the second part of the "Resident Evil" series of movies that ranked among the top three at the global box office.
Netizens exploded for a while!
All the fans around the world screamed for it!
Nima, almost missed "Resident Evil" produced by Nirvana Film and Television Company!
This super thriller movie full of special effects, the first one is simply addictive!
And with Nirvana Film and Television Company, which has Nirvana Light and Shadow, when making the special effects of the second movie, will it go to other special effects companies to make special effects?
Apparently not!
Then the first test of Nirvana Light and Shadow is about to be presented in front of the global audience!
Only by coming up with a beautiful report card will Nirvana Light and Shadow's status in the special effects industry rise!
And with the high welfare salary practice of Nirvana Film and Television Company, the benefits of Nirvana Light and Shadow will not be much worse no matter how bad they are!
When the time comes, the surging special effects artists will definitely step on the door!
A magnificent scene spread out in front of everyone's eyes in an instant!
People are excited!
Soon, when Zhang Heng announced the establishment of the crew of "The Legend of Wukong" and put it into filming, the completed "Resident Evil 2", after being submitted to the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television for review, also officially announced the release date on the official website.
"On June 1, 2004, in the cool summer, "Resident Evil II" was officially released!"
"The heart is cold, the heart is flying!"
"From now on, all viewers who pre-order "Resident Evil II" on Taobao Mall can log on to Facebook and @涅磐光影特效和涅磐影视制zuò to have a chance to win "Resident Evil II" lucky draw once!"
"Third Prize: Licker Model, Second Prize Prize: A Nokoa Mobile Phone, First Prize Prize: A Microsoft Computer, Special Prize Prize: Ten tickets to Zhang Heng's concert at the end of the year will be a chance!"
"Super big prizes are waiting for you, hurry up and join!"
