Is there a ten-year gap? Lin Dong pretended to be surprised.

"Some core things, we still can't do it here, and there is no way to make up for the gap in terms of concepts."

"It's a ten-year gap, so why don't you hurry up and catch up."

"Uh......"

"Or can you close the gap of the decade in Base?"

Suddenly I don't know how to answer.

Hu Hailang is also very innocent.

Although he occasionally wants to save the Huaxia special effects industry impassionedly, it is all bragging.

It's as if some people want to save the universe.

Some people want to save the runaway girl.

Some people want to go back to their hometown.

It's all something that I fantasize about in my head and talk about it.

Actually, it's impossible for you to save the universe, the most you can do is save the stumbling girl.

"Big guy, I'm just messing around, I want to save some money to marry the widow of the village king." Hu Hailang couldn't understand when the burden of saving the Huaxia special effects industry fell on his shoulders.

He can't say no.

"This is not a conflict, when you save the Huaxia special effects industry, will the widow Wang at the head of your village still dislike you?"

Lin Dong asked very seriously.

Hu Hailang also thought about it very seriously and found that it was really like that.

"How can we save the special effects industry in China?"

If it weren't for Lin Dong being Kleist's boss, the two of them squatting on the edge of a bunch of foam lunches to talk about this kind of topic, how would the scene look like sand sculptures.

"Let's set up a special effects company by ourselves, which belongs to our independent special effects company in China." Lin Dong continued to flicker.

Isn't this nonsense?

Hu Hailang waited for Lin Dong, a layman, to continue talking nonsense.

"Then let's poach people from foreign first-class special effects teams, such as what kind of digital kingdom or something, you know best what the big guys are in the industry, right?"

Lin Dong is really not talking nonsense.

He'd been thinking about it for a long time.

He was an outsider.

But it's not out of place with the world.

Perhaps, but in the first days, he always missed his hometown like crazy, and felt that it was a prank to drop him here.

However, over time.

He still misses his hometown, but he has adapted to and fallen in love with the food, interesting acting work, and even Chinese humanistic values.

And he also has a deep relationship with the parents of the original owner.

The two old men would call him regularly to ask for warmth, urging him to find a woman to marry quickly, and he would occasionally call and fly over every year to live in his hometown for a few days.

He hopes that the film industry in China can flourish healthily.

If this development is because of him, then he is even happier.

Movie special effects will completely change the pattern of the film manufacturing market for many years to come, and if Chinese films want to catch up with Hollywood, special effects are an indispensable thing.

"If you really have the money, why not buy Digital Domain, now that it's being resold to Xiangjiang, the people who bought it must want to change hands."

Hu Hailang worked hard to make himself less petty and keep up with Lin Dong's thinking.

Scott Ross, former general manager of ILM, teamed up with director James Cameron and film special effects master Stan Winston to found Digital Domain, a special effects company.

He has contributed to many excellent works such as "Titanic" and "Transformers" trilogy, and has won the Oscar 7 times.

At one point, the market capitalization reached $400 million.

However, a company in Xiangjiang bought it home last year for less than 400 million Hong Kong dollars.

Nearly tenfold shrinkage!

"If they are acquired, they are still Digital Domain, and they are the company of the people of the United States, and it takes too much effort to screw them over."

And the acquisition cost too little money.

After Lin Dong researched it, he found that it was very simple to acquire a special effects company, and a large number of special effects companies were sold off the building.

If you can't buy it, you can't afford to be fooled.

wants to make some contributions to Chinese films, which does not mean that he has forgotten his original intention of losing money.

So he doesn't plan to buy any one team as a whole.

Hu Hailang thought about it and agreed with Lin Dong's opinion.

These teams, which have been formed for many years, have their own unique values and are ready to use this set of values and capital to confront them.

It is precisely because of their unity and xenophobia that it is very difficult to learn the core techniques and concepts from them, which is not in line with Lin Dong's purpose of building a special effects team.

So, dig only a single elite and put them in the center of a strange and dangerous new team.

This is in the interests of Lin Dong and the Huaxia team.

Lin Dong and Hu Hailang quickly reached an agreement in this regard.

Hu Hailang has been in this industry for so long, and his peers have nothing to compare with each other, it is impossible that no one realizes this.

"We also have to solve the problem of profitability, and the reason why special effects companies have a difficult living environment is because of problems with their business operation models."

Hu Hailang talked eloquently, he thought that his knowledge in this area could be appreciated by Lin Dong.

I'm not incompetent.

didn't know that Lin Dong wasn't interested in this at all, he just asked, "What do you think the problem is, and how to solve it?" ”

"We starve and do all the work, but they make billions of dollars." Hu Hailang clenched his fists: "This industry must unite to stop such a thing." ”

"Do you think they'll be able to unite?" Lin Dong asked with a smile.

Then Hu Hailang couldn't speak.

At that time, James and Qiao En set a total budget in the range of $100 million for "Titanic", and the budget for VFX was 18 million.

However, when Digital Domain researched the project, it found that 18 million was not enough, and at least 27 million was needed to achieve the effect James Cameron wanted.

Back then, Digital Domain's biggest competitor was ILM.

The leaders of ILM thought, "If I work on a movie with James Cameron, and he can't afford to hire his own company to do the visual effects, then I can give Digital Domain a fatal blow." ”

With this in mind, ILM offered to accept a budget of 18 million.

In other words, I'd rather lose to death than I want to pick up my opponent.

Join forces?

Inexistent.

The idea of careerists is to become the industry leader first, and then integrate the industry and shout for the industry themselves.

Because everyone thinks so, it ......

"I'm sorry, I'm too ambitious."

Hu Hailang was hit by Lin Dong, knowing it is one thing, and knowing how to solve it is another.

"It's okay, let's take our time, first of all, we have to pull the team up first, you can help me research first, which bigwig-level special effects characters now want a high-paying job in Huaxia, and they won't be too old-fashioned to want to hide the technology."

Lin Dong officially extended an olive branch like a young man who was persuaded by himself.
