Chapter 288: The Moving Banquet
During the filming of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy", the special effects were made by a special effects company from the United Kingdom, and Bi Xia followed the whole process at that time, in order to be able to show the taste of Xianxia well, Bi Xia talked for a long time with these foreign experts who did not know what immortals were, and the biggest problem at that time was not that the skills were not in place, but the cultural differences between the two sides.
At the beginning, I didn't think about inviting a domestic special effects company to do it, but after trying a few, Bi Xia was not very satisfied, and there were problems in both technique and attitude. Some small companies are interested in research, but their conditions are not ripe.
Bi Xia is a director, he wants to make the best films, and not making blockbusters in his lifetime is definitely a regret of a director's life. Bi Xia has many blockbuster ideas, and these ideas can't escape the special effects of the movie, of course, he can go abroad to invite, but everything depends on foreign companies, how should mainland films progress?
It's not that he didn't think about being a special effects company before, it's just that he doesn't have skills, and if he enters rashly, he will only hit his head full of bags, so he can't do it. didn't expect his cousin to be a talent in all aspects, and Bi Xia's heart became hot all of a sudden. "Old Biao, where did you study abroad, and did you practice it?"
Bi Xiaofeng glanced at Bi Xia, and said angrily: "You look down on me nakedly!" Of course, I was the leader of the technical team in Light & Magic Industries, and I participated in the special effects production of movies such as "StarCraft 3", "Batman Prequel", and "The Lord of the Rings". Bi Xiaofeng's tone was full of confidence.
Bi Xia has no dissatisfaction with Bi Xiaofeng's white eyes, and the excitement in his heart is difficult to suppress at this moment, talent, real talent. He then had a lot of discussions with Bi Xiaofeng about the special effects of the movie, and found that Bi Xiaofeng really understood and was very professional. "Why don't we get our own special effects company?" Bixia blurted out.
"What?" Bi Xiaofeng was taken aback, he looked at Bi Xia like an idiot. said: "Where's the money? Brother, I know that you are very profitable to be a star now, but the special effects company has to spend more than one or two points, and we can't afford it. ”
"How much does it cost?" Bi Xia didn't care about Bi Xiaofeng's tone, and hurriedly asked.
Bi Xiaofeng took a breath, although he didn't think that Bi Xia had the ability to afford a special effects company, thinking that Bi Xia was just a whim, but someone in the family originally intended to support him, so he said a few more words: "The starting capital is at least 50 million, mainly equipment and data research." This is only the first phase of funds, and the next technical research will cost tens of millions of dollars, and in addition to funds, there must also be movies willing to ask us to do special effects, and research must be combined with practice. ”
Bi Xia couldn't help nodding on the side, he was calculating in his heart, he took out 50 million, but he only had so much, and the card was empty after taking the money. However, "Sword and Fairy II" in the global village is about to be listed, and some of the funds will be withdrawn at that time, and the next [CS Counter-Strike] should be able to make a lot of money for the company.
As for whether there are movies looking for them to do special effects, this Bixia doesn't have to worry about it at all. Isn't it okay for others not to use it themselves? After thinking about it, Bi Xia made up his mind to do it, and he said, "Old Watch, you tell me." If there is no problem with funding and customers, can you set up this special effects company? ”
Bi Xiaofeng looked at Bi Xia in surprise, and slowly his eyes were a little dignified. He saw seriousness and seriousness on Bi Xia's face, although he didn't know where Bi Xia's money came from, but as a cousin who grew up together, he still said seriously and solemnly: "If there is no problem with both, I am completely confident." I also know many Chinese special effects technicians in the United States, and their level is no worse than that of Americans, but they don't get the opportunity to get good because of their Chinese identity. ”
After Bi Xia heard the news, this thought became even more irrepressible. The special effects company must be done, the Chinese must have their own special effects company, and only the Chinese understand the Chinese culture and the Chinese world. Only the special effects of the Chinese can make a pinnacle movie that truly belongs to the Chinese. And it's easy for a film company to go up and down, but a special effects company can be a long-term success.
"Old watch, you first probe the tone of your friends, and I also need to prepare here. Don't worry about the funds, I am a shareholder of Global Village Games, and you don't have to worry about business, I still have this confidence. With that, Bi Xia patted Bi Xiaofeng on the shoulder.
Bi Xiaofeng was a little stunned, the special effects of the movie are the same as the computer skills, as a knowledgeable person, he admired the global village game even more, he didn't expect Bi Xia to be a shareholder of the global village, if this is the case, Bi Xia's financial strength is really not blown, so thinking about it, his heart suddenly became hot, and there was an uncontrollable fire that wanted to erupt from his chest.
The next day, he tried to look for Bixia with big panda eyes, but he couldn't find it. After asking, I realized that Bi Xia had gone to greet a friend early in the morning.
Zang's mother had already asked Bi Xia to inform his friends in the capital. People came to the villa early this morning, and basically all the invited friends have come over in the afternoon, and everyone must go to the house to sit for a while before the moving banquet.
"Wood, you can, buying such a villa in the capital is considered a mansion, it's only been a few years, it's really more popular than people." Shi Yingjie joked about Bi Xia. However, although there is a joke in this remark, it is more of a sigh, he debuted for seven or eight years, and it was not until this year that he became a real hit through "Savage Girlfriend", and his worth has only risen, and a movie was only a few hundred thousand yuan before.
"That's it, sister, I still live in an apartment, you live in a villa, and let me warm the house for you, so afraid of running into ghosts?" Wu Meizi has been more angry and stimulated when she sees Bi Xia recently.
"Hehe, maybe it's a female ghost......" Shao Xuxian winked at Bi Xia and Wu Meizi.
"Little Liuzi, you're looking for death." Wu Meizi feigned anger, followed by the rhythm of Shao Xuxian's ears being twisted by Jiang Lu. The party was very relaxed.
At this time, Zhu Jianye led Liu Yufei in, and Liu Yufei had a strange look on her face.
"Third brother, how did you meet Fei Fei?" Bi Xia got up to greet him and asked curiously.
"When I came, I saw Yu Fei coming out of a house from a distance, walking straight towards you, and bumping into each other at the intersection." Zhu Jianye's tone was also strange when he spoke, mainly because he saw Liu Yufei coming out of a villa that was bigger and more luxurious than Bi Xia, and his heart was inevitably a little shocked.
"Bi Xia didn't expect you to buy your new house here, I always thought I was mistaken. We're neighbors from now on, and I live at number 3. Liu Yufei's tone was quite strange, she had a sense of destiny at the moment, with expectations, apprehensions, and joy.
As soon as Liu Yufei's words fell, everyone looked at Bi Xia with a hint of inquiry, was it a coincidence or deliberate? (To be continued......)
