"Brethren, business is coming, be prepared to work overtime." Hu Hailang clapped his hands, secretly rubbing his happiness in his heart.

Based on experience these days, as soon as someone has a new idea, the boss will make a rework.

In that case, their VFX team will come to work.

The amount of one job to do several jobs, this is their status in the crew of "Xinshu Mountain".

And the visual effects remuneration will not be depressed, and the money will be given in real terms.

This is something that those visual effects manufacturers dare not think of.

In fact, in the highly competitive external market, if you make a special effects project that costs 50 million, it is good to make 5 million.

And the 50 million special effects projects are all big productions with an investment of more than two or three billion.

There are only a few such movies a year, and a group of people grab their heads, and in order to bid, in addition to showing their strength, they must constantly lower their bids.

A lot of the time, it's about losing money and doing things.

It's better to lose money and do things than not to do things, and if you don't do things, the company will be dissolved.

This is true for visual effects companies, both at home and abroad.

Otherwise, the No. 1 Industrial Light & Magic would not have been sold to Disney, and the No. 2 Digital Kingdom would not have been tossed and turned and finally fell into the hands of a Xiangjiang company.

Kleist's meow eye visuals don't have to endure this.

They're doing their own work.

How much money is taken is based on the relatively high market price in the industry.

Other people's families have a headache and don't have work.

Meow eye visual effects are too much work to finish.

For this reason, their special effects team had to work overtime at two ends of three days, sometimes in three shifts.

There is a large room for computers, which looks like an Internet café.

Each person is surrounded by three displays, and the eyes of the liver hurt.

Not only the domestic visual effects guys are working overtime, but the special effects experts invited from abroad are also fighting without complaint.

It's not that they don't want to be free.

It's not that they don't want eight hours.

No way, from 2008 to the present, six Los Angeles special effects production companies have closed down one after another, thousands of special effects engineers have lost their jobs, and many contracted special effects artists who used to have no worries about food and clothing have been reduced to short-term contract workers.

Although almost all Hollywood blockbusters now have special effects shots, the final profit of the special effects department is only about 5%, far less than the more than 20% of other departments.

This industry, which was once the most superior, gradually began to export cheap labor.

And when it comes to filmmaking, special effects artists are increasingly seen as skilled workers.

It is impossible not to work overtime.

A new VFX artist may work 50 to 60 hours a week, but then it will grow to 90 to 120 hours, and overtime has become commonplace.

What is more painful is not overtime, but unemployment.

Once a project is over, they may be laid off immediately until a new boss is hired a few months later.

During this period, they had no income.

Hollywood's special effects artists live a life of wandering, London, Vancouver, New Zealand, a single order can make them fly across the world, leaving their wives and children behind.

Kleist's Meow Eye Visual Effects was established, inviting 38 top special effects artists from around the world to join.

Many of them have served major special effects manufacturers such as Industrial Light & Magic and Digital Domain.

At the beginning, there were indeed foreign special effects artists who wanted to be free and disobey discipline, and as a result, thirty-eight became thirty-two.

Hu Hailang recruited four more from the digital kingdom that existed in name only, and made up the number of foreign special effects artists to thirty-six.

Since then, it has been announced that the number of foreign special effects artists is only 36.

These thirty-six people, survival of the fittest, will be dismissed if they don't do well, and they will be picked from the cover letters from Hollywood visual effects studios.

In such a situation, how can anyone yearn for freedom?

The treatment of Kleist's meow eye visual effects is the best in the company, and the annual salary of foreign special effects artists is as high as 200,000...... USD.

Even if you get to Silicon Valley, the center of the universe, this level can kill the major factory apes in seconds.

It's not that Hu Hailang admires the ocean.

He and Lin Dong's strategy is to squeeze these foreign special effects artists, squeeze out their skills and concepts, and feed them back to our own special effects artists.

After the domestic special effects artists grow up, the number of foreign special effects artists will be gradually reduced.

Under the survival of the fittest system, foreign special effects artists cannot form an alliance, knowing that this is a bitter fruit, but in the case of the continuous decline of the global special effects market, they can only pinch their noses and admit it.

What they have to do is to maintain their leading position in foreign teams and make sure that they are not the ones who are eliminated.

These foreign visual effects celebrities are crazier than domestic guys when they work over.

"Tut-tut, it's over, now the budget has to be increased again." Jiang Xiaojun and Xu Wei whispered a "private chat", they had already greeted Zhou Longxing just now.

Whether it is Xu Wei or Jiang Xiaojun, no one can despise Zhou Longxing.

I wouldn't be naïve to think that Zhou Longxing couldn't find fault with what they filmed.

In fact, Zhou Longxing picked a problem when he came up.

"This place is too blunt, the inner drama is not expressed, and people will continue to say that you are cold and that you have no acting skills."

Anxi, who was called, nodded repeatedly.

She and Zhou Longxing rarely intersect, an immortal, a nonsensical, not a person of the same world at all.

But that didn't stop her from respecting this nonsensical master.

"Remake?"

Zhou Longxing needs to determine whether it can really be remade, or Lin Dong is just polite.

Anqian turned her head to look at Lin Dong, and after Lin Dong nodded, she followed closely: "It's okay, please teach Master Xing more." ”

As a result, Zhou Longxing successfully won the lead and became the person in charge of the camera.

Everyone else stepped aside.

"Director Lin, Anqian doesn't have so much work on our acting contract, and her assistant seems to be a little distressed." Wen Muye leaned over, with a sad face.

Whose actor is tossed like this.

Tsui Hark, Jiang Xiaojun, Wen Muye, and Lin Dong all have their own ideas, and those who are filming can be stopped, and those who are filming can be restarted.

It's just that Ancy is easy to talk to.

Otherwise, people would have quit a long time ago.

In addition to Anqian, Yang Qiu, who plays Danchenzi, is from his own company, Liu Xiaomei of the flower demon is from his own company, Wu Tie of the Blood Demon is also from his own company, and Wu Feng is Lin Dong's buddy, and the dedication of the action movie actors is even more breathtaking.

Only Anxi, the relationship is not so close.

"That's ......" Lin Dong thought for a while, it was indeed the case.

Anqian's dedication in this drama is almost worth filming several dramas outside.

"Why don't you talk to a few directors?" Wen Muye also suddenly saw the expressions of several girls in Anxi's team, and felt that the crew was a little excessive.

"Forget it, movie shooting is more important, you can't stop shooting just because she's tired." Lin Dong was very cold-blooded.

But then he said again.

"She's so tired, she has to pay more."
