"Mr. Diaz, I'm here."

Chen Feng shouted loudly and raised his hand.

At the moment of looking up, the gloom on James Diaz's face quickly hidden.

The electric car made a slightly clumsy turn and turned towards Chen Feng.

"Mr. Chen, I haven't seen you for a few months, and I don't know you anymore. When I first heard about you, you were an amazing musician. When I was thinking about how I could invite you to compose a theme song for my movie, you became a superhero on the web. While I was thinking hard about what I could do to trick you into my crew as an actor, you turned into a scientist. I even wonder if you're living in a Men in Black alien who manipulates humanity. ”

James joked.

Chen Feng laughed, "Barry Sonenfeld is an amazing science fiction director. ”

"Yes, I admire him too. But I think I'm better. ”

James blinked.

Zhan Shen, who looks polite, also has a bit of naughty American humor.

Chen Feng gave a thumbs up, "That's right." ”

The two chatted for a while.

Chen Feng was slightly disappointed.

It turned out that Director Zhan's main scene had finished filming today, and the actors had left the set to go about their own business.

On the other side of the set, the newly completed set is being dismantled and a new set is being built.

Director James was busy and lazy, and came over to chat casually with Chen Feng.

Feelings This is his paddling time, no wonder he invited Chen Feng over.

Based on the descriptions of Zhan Shen's filming that Chen Feng had seen on the Internet before, how could he fish and receive others when he had a formal job.

This is a master who is strict with all the details to the point of being perverted.

In the film industry, there are many legends about director James.

His production is very small, but almost every one of them has become classics, full of all kinds of whimsy, and has both word-of-mouth and blockbuster hits.

He is also very keen on using new technologies, even if it is a documentary love scene, the new technology used can sort out a basket and open a new chapter in film technology.

Another of his masterpieces, "Asuda", as a classic masterpiece born eleven years ago, is still at the level of its special effects to this day.

Its use of CG technology can be said to be cross-generational, and it has built a dreamlike sense of picture, and the accuracy and beauty are the ultimate at that time, and it has not been outdated until 2020.

"Asuda" also opened the curtain of 3D films, leading the rapid innovation of global cinema broadcast equipment.

At the same time, he is also a seemingly humble, but in fact he has a strong desire for control, jealousy and self-confidence.

Of course, maybe at this time in Director James's heart, Chen Feng is about a little crazier than him.

Director Zhan himself is a master in the field of science fiction, and Chen Feng is even more excessive, at a young age, he is already a master in the field of science.

If you draw an equal sign between genius and madness, there is no doubt that Chen Feng should be the most "crazy" person in the world.

The two of them walked inside, and passed a closed gate, and a middle-aged woman in a professional suit walked over, looking a little vigilant, "Mr. Diaz, according to the confidentiality requirements, we can't let unrelated people see our set...... Belch...... Dr. Chen? Welcome, welcome! Hello, I'm the Director of Production at Solon Films, my name is ......"

Chen Feng smiled, and casually responded with a few words, as if he had said hello.

This person, his fame is getting bigger and bigger, his influence is getting higher and higher, and when he encounters these little ghosts who block the door again, he really doesn't need to rely on anyone's foil to pretend to be like that.

Just by putting out a face, it is a walking prop, and others have to tremble immediately when they recognize it.

In the rest room on the second floor of the set, James made Chen Feng a cup of Mingqian Longjing that he asked for a Chinese actor, and then served himself a cup of caramel latte with white smoke.

Then the two quickly got to the point, James opened the fingerprint lock safe behind him, and took out the corner hair curls from it, which obviously thickened a large stack of printed English scripts of "Across the Stars".

Chen Feng only glanced at it, and knew that this person was really a workaholic.

He's still filming here, and in two or three weeks, he turned the script he gave him like this, you don't just have twenty-four hours a day, you have to have forty-eight hours!

James flipped through the script.

Chen Feng saw the writing and painting of various red and blue pens on it in a daze, and raised his eyebrows.

He secretly thought that after taking so many notes, this god's stinky problem still hasn't changed, and his desire to control is really strong.

Then the two began to exchange scripts.

Director Zhan showed a clear interest in directing "Across the Stars", and was even willing to invest himself.

Of course, Chen Feng would not agree.

He gave his own terms.

Invest by yourself, not by others.

At the same time, he will also give Director Zhan and the team behind him the highest single film directing remuneration ever, of course, the box office net profit dividends that Hollywood directors usually care about are not to be discussed.

It's really not Chen Feng's petty family.

He knows very well what kind of terrifying box office "Across the Stars" will achieve.

That's an astronomical amount of six billion dollars.

The net profit is between 20~2.5 billion US dollars.

To be implemented in accordance with the regular dividend standards in the industry, he can pay for it until he is confused.

If he follows the 1% price he expects, although it can eventually reach more than 20 million US dollars, it is very interesting, but others will not recognize it now, and they will feel that this is a humiliating offer, and it is easy to collapse.

It's better to add 20 million directly to the fixed expenses, and both parties will be happy.

Director Zhan was satisfied with Chen Feng's offer, but this was not the focus of what he wanted to talk about.

Although he admired Chen Feng's script, he still wanted to add a lot of his own ideas, and refused to follow the script completely.

How could Chen Feng agree.

Aren't you doing something?

The script has long been tempered and can stand the test of time.

The box office has soared to 6 billion, what more bicycle?

Could it be that it can be changed and tens of billions?

To brag, you have to talk about the Basic Law.

James is a director with a strong desire to control, and Chen Feng is an investor and chief screenwriter who has to control everything.

He didn't want to change a word or detail.

Let Director Zhan argue with the notes, Chen Feng just didn't let go.

In fact, sometimes Chen Feng also felt that Director Zhan's proposal made some sense, but he recalled in his heart and smacked the finished product he had seen.

How so?

Some parts may seem to be better changed over the course of the movie, but if you stretch them to the rhythm of the whole movie, it may not be good.

Some things that were considered shortcomings at the time were strangely turned into advantages that were ultimately successful in the analysis of many film critics in later generations.

The essence of a good movie, like music, is a real art full of variables, and it cannot be pursued one-sidedly and one-sidedly, but should be considered comprehensively.

Also, a large part of James' opinion comes from consideration of current special effects technology.

He believes that with the computer rendering capabilities of today's era, it is impossible to achieve the scenes outlined by Chen Feng in the script, and no matter how large the scale of investment is, it is impossible.

Since he couldn't do it, he simply changed the script and compromised the plot to the level of special effects.

Director Zhan himself is not a person who will compromise easily, but he has been in the film industry for a longer time and has rich experience, not as "idealistic" as Chen Feng.

Chen Feng didn't let go, and many of the refusals seemed very unreasonable and impolite.

Good things are about to fall apart.

James sighed, looking very regretful, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Mr. Chen, it seems that we should actually understand each other more before we talk about cooperation." I understand your insistence and respect your choice, but if you always don't give an inch, then I'm afraid our cooperation will not be realized. ”

He really regretted it,

At the same time, he didn't have any disrespectful thoughts about Chen Feng.

It's just that years of experience in the industry tell him that if a producer has such an idea to make a film, the work will not be carried out at all.

Chen Feng was not surprised by this.

As early as when he finalized that the core element of making a movie was to control everything himself, he knew that it would be difficult to recruit a truly talented top director.

It looks like the conversation is really going to fall apart.

However, this is still within his grasp.

Chen Feng knew very well how to seduce the other party to take the bait.

"Mr. Diaz, don't rush to make a decision." Chen Feng smiled, "I know what your biggest regret is about "Asuda". ”

James was surprised that Chen Feng suddenly changed the topic, but he didn't deny it, "Many people know that I am not satisfied with the 3D effect, and due to the limitations of technology and financial scale, I have not been able to really make those beautiful scenes to extend the effect of the screen." ”

Chen Feng nodded, "At that time, you must have thought that there would be a chance to achieve it in ten years, right?" ”

"Yes. However, now that ten years have passed, the performance of our computers is indeed more powerful, and the performance of professional graphics graphics cards has increased by dozens of times, but it still seems that it is far from enough. I'm 66 years old, and I'm really worried about whether I'll be able to see that day while I'm alive. ”

Chen Feng looked at his lonely appearance that suddenly turned from excitement to tastelessness, and smiled, "It's definitely okay." ”

"Huh?"

"Because I'm going to do it."

"Huh?"

"Mr. Diaz, I will quietly reveal a secret to you. In addition to writing the "Crazy Man's Conjectures" and inventing new materials, I also studied the hardware of electronic computers. However, what I'm best at is actually AI programming, and I'm going to develop a rendering engine core with self-domestication capabilities and super self-learning capabilities. The picture you are looking for will become a reality in four years at the latest. I'm going to show you what the next era of cinematic special effects engines will look like. ”

James first thought he had misheard, "You mean, you're going to push the industry to improve the level of special effects?" ”

"yes, it's not that hard like I'm pushing other industries. Do you think I can't do it? In addition to writing the kernel myself, I am also planning to invest $500 million in two years to set up my own light and shadow studio. In two months at the latest, you'll be able to see the initial engine, and I'll try to take on some of the special effects rendering business at that time. Of course, I can also guarantee that the level of special effects in "Across the Stars" will definitely reach more than five times the level of this year. ”

"You're not kidding?"

"Am I like someone who can make jokes? Or Mr. Diaz, you question that I can't do it? ”

James: "I've read two books of Madman's Conjectures, and I've talked to some friends in the scientific community. ”

"Oh?"

"So I know you're going to do what you say."

"Yes."

Looking at Zhan Shen's eyes that gradually became shining, Chen Feng smiled slowly.

It's done.

It's so easy to come prepared.
