Chapter 189: Rice Technology and Quality

In the history that Shao Yingying knows, there are some big-scale American dramas that are comparable to movies, such as "Roma" with an investment of more than 100 million yuan in a single season, such as "Ice and Fire" with 6 million episodes, and "Band of Brothers" with 12 million episodes and "Blood in the Pacific" with 20 million episodes.

But Shao Yingying's banknotes are only $10 million, and if he returns to China to make a TV series, he may be able to create an unprecedented large-scale production.

What kind of TV series can be made with this money?

Shao Yingying had a headache, but after signing the filming contract, MGM fulfilled their promise.

The day after Shao Yingying left MGM, six media outlets in the entire country reported MGM's participation in the competition for the adaptation rights of "Twilight", which attracted the attention of other media, because when the news came out, Shao Yingying received a call from "Time Magazine", and the originally scheduled interview was interviewed in advance under MGM's favor card, or entered the interview process on the second day after the public opinion broke out, and on the third day, "Time Magazine" used "Oriental men are stepping on the Titanic" The title of 'Entering Hollywood' once again put Shao Hero on the cover!

Suddenly, many media have raised questions!

Shao, who is it? Why have his works attracted so many bids from Hollywood giants?

The director of "Source Code" is hiding behind the scenes, and "Twilight" wants to create another glory on the big screen!

Remember the Oriental man on the train? Shao Yingying is here again, "Twilight" is about to be released!!

Colombia and MGM are in the ultimate showdown. In the end, who is the ultimate winner of Shao?

A storm of public opinion for Shao Yingying quietly blew up, like waking up and finding that Hollywood had changed. The news in the entertainment section is no longer a ladder earthquake between a handsome man and a beautiful woman in the elevator, nor is it who kisses with whom on the street, and it is no longer a boyfriend who has played with a female philatelic singer, for fear that others will not know that she is a bride every day...... Let an oriental face cover up this qiē, even if everyone knows that this is only temporary!

This time, Shao Yingying was embarrassed.

If the publicity effect is not very good, Shao Yingying can at least play a scoundrel. At MGM this claimed that they had not completed the task, and that they would help them finish filming the TV series out of good faith, but. To increase investment. But now the effect is simply too good, the translator who came with Shao Yingying is watching various media hype on TV every day, and even the promotional video of "Twilight" has been broadcast on TV countless times. What can I do?

If you can't make a TV series with such a little money of 10 million, the rest will have to be posted upside down by the hero Huayi......

Small cost. Small cost ...... Shao Yingying pondered for a long time and didn't figure it out. The key is that he doesn't know much about American dramas, and he rarely pays attention to the behind-the-scenes events of American dramas off the screen.

Tick, tick, tick.

In the hotel, Shao Yingying's phone rang, and it was Giselle calling.

"Shao, are you sure you want to work with MGM?"

Giselle has a bad tone.

Shao Yingying complained: "You didn't force it? Did you know that I had thrown myself into the ditch to promote "Twilight", and the condition for MGM to participate in the hype was that I would shoot a low-budget TV series for them that cost $10 million a season, TV series! ”

"What?"

"Oh......"

"Hahahahaha...... Is Harry Sloan crazy? Hahaha...... This is the funniest joke of the year. He went so far as to exchange this offer for a request to help with the promotion of "Twilight". ”

Giselle's initial doubts turned into exclamations, and from exclamations to hilarity. Immediately after, the laughter stopped abruptly, and he figured it out!

"That's a good idea, Shaw, and Harry is going to use you to keep MGM up for a while."

The voice on the other side of the phone turned out to be cautious again: "But he is gambling, a gamble that must be lost, Shao, I don't look down on your ability, but do you know the salary of the resident role in the TV series actor?" Do you know the "Gossip Girl" that just aired? Blake Lively's pay for a single episode has now soared to $60,000 without showing his face, Hugh Laurie in "Dr. House" has reached $700,000 an episode, and the 10 million you have in your hand just invite a star and you're finished. ”

"You're just calling to tell me I'm in danger now? Why don't you get me a boat for me to run away? ”

How could Shao Yingying not know that his situation was critical? But if MGM doesn't agree, then the publicity plan of "Twilight" will be completely ruined, and MGM doesn't ask for ratings!

"Shao, you misunderstood, how could I laugh at you? I was just...... Prepare your company's legal department, and if I were you, I'd spend some time in your country to find a good lawyer to fight MGM endlessly, so that you can still set off a publicity storm in Hollywood without being offended. I can also sue you, MGM won't last long, as long as you can fight this cross-border lawsuit until they go bankrupt, then there will be no problems. "Giselle is so bad, he can get MGM into trouble right away, like falling into a muddy swamp.

"God, I almost forgot about business, don't you want to visit the studio? Colombia is already waiting for you with our passion. ”

Shao Yingying and Giselle talked for a long time before they heard the matter, and immediately set off and said, "This is it." ”

After saying this, Shao Yingying took the phone from the translator, and it was really troublesome that he couldn't speak English.

After packing up, Shao Yingying left the hotel with Sun Shengnan and the translator, and when the three of them arrived at the studio in a Ford car prepared for them in Columbia, Shao Yingying was completely shocked!

The studio in Columbia is like a huge labyrinth, in the labyrinth, all kinds of sets are presented in front of you, do you want to know how successful people take pictures of the scenery of the whole city from the top of the tall building? In fact, it is to build an office set, in the set, all the windows will be sealed with green steps, after the post-production zuò, the green cloth sealed outside the window, will show the lights of the city at night; Want to know how the shots of the boat out to sea are taken? Simpler! A green cloth is behind the actors, and another is in front of the actors, using a fan to blow their hair to indicate the sea breeze, and the two actors are lying on the railing props in this situation. After the post-production of zuò, this scene will be a couple going out to sea, leaning on the railing of a cruise ship in the middle of the ocean.

And even more ruthless!

It was a man pacing back and forth on the phone surrounded by green cloth, and in the monitor, he was downstairs in the hotel where Shao Yingying lived!

That's where technology comes in, because with the help of technology, they can make the protagonist appear anywhere in the world, the sky. Nowadays, film companies don't have to spend huge sums of money to close the streets for filming, as long as they let Tom run over with a gun in the green set, the handsome Tom will appear on any street in any country in the post-production zuò, on this street, he can kill whoever he wants, and even the blood of the dead can be post-produced.

Only then did Shao Yingying understand how far Hollywood's technology has reached, and he understood why so many workers come in and out of Hollywood studios every day, because people are changing sets every day, and there is no need to spend huge investments to build movie theaters.

At this time, Shao Yingying remembered a tidbit about "Shameless" that he had watched, I am afraid that anyone who has watched this American drama will think that it was filmed in real life, no! Most of the filming in this TV series was done in the studio, the bar in the TV series is the set in the studio, the Gallagher home is the set in the studio, and even the upstairs of the Gallagher house is on the same floor in the same studio!

In the current film and television industry, technology is more important than technology, with technology, who still plays with high-speed cameras? Who still plays stealing the grid and printing? Who still plays femtoseconds? Technology makes everything appear instantly!

How about Oriental Kung Fu? After a lifetime of hard training, you may not be able to reach the peak, right? But as long as you dare to practice it on someone's motion capture machine, then this set of kung fu can be used in any movie.

Do you worship foreign flattery?

No, we're falling behind again.

Shao Yingying, who came out of the studio, fell into deep thought, at this time, he saw the crew filming at the door filming the helicopter landing on the top floor, all they had to do was to make a sign that the plane could be parked, and then let the actors waiting for the plane to perform to see the expressions of the plane when it landed, and the rest were green sets, and the planes in the post-production could choose the landing time according to their performances, so as to facilitate the reaction of the actors.

Shao Yingying is desperate for Hollywood's technology, and with this set of technology, he dares to shoot the hottest "Legend of the Master" on the starting point Chinese Internet!

Shao Yingying, who took out a dot, walked out of the studio, and when he stood at least ten meters away from the studio and smoked, he wondered how to get the whole set of techniques back......

"Hey, are you crazy? Do you want to kill us all because of this cigarette? Do you know how much green cloth and wood there is? ”

The black security guard shouted at Shao Yingying in an unkind tone, and before Shao Yingying could figure out what was going on, the translator hurriedly rushed over to snatch the cigarette and put it out, wrapped the cigarette butt in a tissue and put it in the bag, and apologized again and again: "I'm sorry, he doesn't understand the rules." ”

"I don't know the rules, go home and ask your numbness, bastard."

The security guard left, Shao Yingying looked at the translator and said, "What do you mean?" ”

"Boss, in the United States, all studios are non-smoking."

Shao Yingying looked at his location, and then looked at the studio behind him: "Am I still in the studio?" ”

"You're in the courtyard of the studio."

Shao Yingying shrugged helplessly, he was used to being rough, and he never thought that he would let Lao Hei give him a training when he came abroad...... (To be continued......)
