A crossing is a short reincarnation, and the emotions or happiness or sorrow that were originally precipitated in the depths of the memory will be slowly forgotten over time, which is the happiness of ordinary people and their misfortune. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Xue Chen, who has long been beyond his ordinary identity, he has no such troubles, every time he returns, all he needs to do is switch roles.

In the real world, Xue Chen's identity is the boss of the Dusty Film Company and the behind-the-scenes owner of the Dusty Technology Company, and the switching of roles means that he should do what these two identities should do.

That is to go to work and set the direction for the company.

'Knock knock'

Outside Xue Chen's office, a soft knock sounded on the door.

"Please come in."

The door was gently opened, and outside the door was Zhao Yafen's slightly excited figure, one of her hands holding the door handle, if you look closely, you can see that she is shaking gently.

"Boss, Director Zhao is here." Zhao Yafen tried to suppress her excitement and said.

Director Zhao, whose real name is Zhao Runhua, is a Mesozoic director of Xingang, and the only Chinese director in China who has really gained a foothold in Hollywood so far, good at making suspense films and action movies, and has also directed large-scale science fiction films, and can rank among the top ten directors in the world in terms of ability.

Such a famous director came to the door, and as the current boss of Xue Chen's film company, he should go to greet him.

"Well, you and Xia Qi accompany me to pick up Director Zhao, and the others are still responsible for themselves." Xue Chen nodded and said, not showing impatience or disdain.

Zhao Yafen and Xia Qi are both real die-hard fans, and they are locals of Xingang, and their admiration for Zhao Runhua can be said to be in their bones, this time Xue Chen was able to invite Zhao Runhua to the company, and the two of them were excited and stayed awake all night yesterday.

The three of them took the elevator downstairs, just as Zhao Runhua and his agent just got out of the car, the two had already met by video, and they were initially familiar with each other.

"I didn't expect Boss Xue to make such a big career at such a young age, it's really a good ability." Zhao Runhua sincerely admired that he couldn't imagine that Xue Chen was sitting on such a huge fortune at the age of 23, he was just an ordinary photographer when he was 23 years old.

"Where, Director Zhao is the person who really has the ability, there must be few people in the Chinese film industry who dare to compare with you." Xue Chen also smiled modestly, this is not true, Zhao Runhua is known as a genius in the film industry, and has created many unique shooting techniques of his own, even if it is still widely used in Hollywood.

"Director Zhao, boss, let's go upstairs first and then talk." Zhao Yafen on the side seemed calm at this time, and happened to make a cameo appearance as a temporary secretary.

This time, Zhao Runhua was invited to come to the Dust World Film Company not to visit, but to discuss the filming of the changed script of Zhao Yafen and Xia Qi.

Xue Chen's requirements are very simple, what he wants to see is a movie with a gentle plot, full of feelings, and a grand background story, there is no need to worry about the special effects of the movie, relying on reality scanning technology is enough to complete most of the filming of science fiction scenes, but the emotional expression of the characters requires the cooperation of actors and directors, which is also the purpose of Xue Chen to find Zhao Runhua.

"Boss Xue, I've already read the script, it's very good, but with all due respect, have you considered whether the audience will accept the background of the story shown in it?"

Making a movie is as simple as eating for Zhao Runhua, and Xue Chen's request is also a requirement he has always adhered to, this is not a problem, what he is worried about is whether the audience will accept it, to put it bluntly, whether it will make money.

Xue Chen will not be stupid enough to say that I don't want to make money, as long as the shooting is good, if he says so, then Zhao Runhua will have no pressure, and without pressure, the effect may be greatly reduced.

"First of all, I believe in Director Zhao's ability, which is the fundamental reason why I invited you, and secondly, as far as I know, a large part of the blockbusters that sell well in China in China are completely novel plots and backgrounds, but relying on realistic special effects, they still have achieved good results in China."

Xue Chen's words made Zhao Runhua agree very much, the quality of science fiction movies is actually mainly reflected in the word science fiction, what is science fiction? According to the current audience's understanding, science fiction is a powerful and realistic special effect.

According to Zhao Runhua's understanding, the young man in front of him is one of the bosses of the dust world technology company, mastering the world's most cutting-edge virtual technology, since he said that special effects are not a problem, then it is definitely not a problem.

"Haha, since Boss Xue is so confident, I can't pull it down." Zhao Runhua pretended to smile heartily.

Xue Chen's self-confidence is pressure, the boss is confident that he is making money, and there is something wrong with you losing money.

"Xiaofen, bring the budget made by the statistics company." Xue Chen said to Zhao Yafen on the side.

Zhao Yafen, who had been preparing for a long time, hurriedly took out the prepared shooting budget from his arms, this budget was commissioned by Xue Chen to be counted by a professional domestic film accounting company, classified according to personnel, venues, special effects, props, etc., and the price is basically based on the high standards in China.

gave Zhao Runhua pressure, and naturally he also had to be motivated, and Xue Chen's high standard investment was the driving force.

Zhao Runhua took the folder and opened it gently, the format of this budget is a common standard in China, and he can understand it at a glance.

"A total of four films were filmed, and the actors' costs for each part accounted for 32% of the total filming costs, totaling 471 million yuan, and the props and venue costs accounted for 51% of the total filming costs, totaling 756 million, and the remaining 17% were special effects costs, totaling 252 million ......."

The four films invested a total of 1.479 billion, Zhao Runhua was not satisfied with this figure, but he also understood that the cost of foreign science fiction movies was only so high mainly for special effects, and the dust company planned to make a movie, according to them, there was almost no cost in terms of special effects, so 252 million was purely labor costs.

"Director Zhao, this budget is a high-standard budget made by the film statistics company according to our requirements, of course, you are now a director, if you have other requirements, we can continue to discuss." Xue Chen said.

Zhao Runhua's last American science fiction movie was also a big production, and the production cost alone was equivalent to 150 million US dollars, nearly 1 billion yuan, of course, he also understood that the special effects of that big production alone accounted for 7.5% of the cost, if the special effects that Xue Chen came up with were really cheap and easy to use, Zhao Runhua could try it.

"Boss Xue, I want to see how your company makes special effects scenes first." After a moment of silence, Zhao Runhua said seriously.

"No problem."

Soon, under the leadership of Xia Qi, everyone went to the company's original lounge, and now in the special effects room, the scene there has been arranged, which looks no different from foreign special effects companies on the surface, but there is only one instrument similar to an LCD computer in the whole room.

"Let's get ready, let's make a short video screen." Xia Qi was the first to enter the lounge and said to one of the two young people inside.

"Okay."

Today, Xia Qi has sat at the supervisor level in the company, and Zhang Zhi is a staff member under him, who is responsible for producing and releasing some promotional videos of Chenyuan's mobile phones.

Soon, I saw Zhang Zhi come out wearing the white armor of an ancient samurai, and the white armor was covered with black polka dots, which made Zhang Zhi, who was already a little weak, look particularly funny.

"The black dot above is our company's specially made wave sensor, which automatically adjusts the size according to the user's body shape......"

Seeing Zhao Runhua's puzzled gaze, Xia Qi took the initiative to introduce.

It's useless to say more, this kind of technology can also be done abroad, and if you really want to satisfy Zhao Runhua, you must let him see useful things.

Zhang Zhi's figure appeared in the center of the LCD computer screen according to Xia Qi's instructions, and then another employee in the room opened a software, and the software quickly captured Zhang Zhi's movements, facial features, and body size, and then many options appeared, these options were very complicated, but the employee was proficient in typing commands one by one.

When Zhao Runhua was still thinking about how this special effect was made, in just two minutes, he saw a group of soldiers suddenly appear next to Zhang Zhi's empty body, the image of those soldiers was extremely realistic, and Zhang Zhi was like one of them, waving the weapon in his hand and rushing forward.

The whole picture was produced in just two minutes.

"How is it so fast?" Zhao Runhua's heart was shocked, if the special effects were made like this, then the cost of the movie would be greatly reduced in the future, and the Dust World Film Company alone was afraid that this technology alone would be able to earn tens of billions of US dollars, and now he understood that it was no wonder that Facebook's $50 billion financing plan was rejected by the Dust World Company, which was simply a baby who could lay diamonds.

"Director Zhao, these scenes are saved in advance, they must be faster, if it is re-framing, I am afraid it will take some time, but the cost control is not much different from what our boss said." Shaki explained.

Even if it is preserved in advance, it is not easy to do this, and Zhao Runhua, who has been in the film industry for decades, still has this knowledge.

Taking a deep breath, Zhao Runhua solemnly asked Xue Chen: "I am very relieved in terms of special effects, but in terms of actor budget, I hope that Boss Xue can make additional investment." ”

"Well, I understand this, after all, the statistics company refers to the price of the actors' union, and the price of the actual actor is estimated to be higher." Xue Chen agreed to his request and continued, "How much do you want to add?" ”

"At least 200 million yuan." Zhao Runhua stretched out two fingers with some embarrassment and said.

200 million plus 471 million is 671 million, an average of about 170 million per piece, which is not high, if you really invite an all-big-name lineup, each one needs at least 4-500 million.

"Director Zhao, in terms of actors, I don't have to use big-name stars, but they must be in line with the original work, which also involves some foreign actors, and I am not a stingy person, I will add a total of 1 billion shooting funds, please be sure to ensure the success of the movie."
