Privilege Shenhao Chapter 162: Europe's Top Special Effects Company

But during the week of traveling, the director Yu Lu contacted him. Vertex 23

"Tuk Tuk!"

"Please come in. ”

As the office door was opened by Yu Lu, Li Hao also met the post-70s director wearing a black cap and a blue denim suit.

"Mr. Li, this is director Yang Shilei, and he came here to discuss the cooperation between the two TV series "Becoming a Ghost" and "The Art of the Mind". ”

Yu Lu reported to Li Hao in the morning that director Yang Shilei was very interested in the company's two scripts. That's why he took the initiative to come to the door and negotiate relevant cooperation matters with a friendly attitude.

As soon as he entered the office, director Yang Shilei stepped forward with a smile and shook hands with Li Hao and said, "Hello, Mr. Li, I have admired Mr. Li's name for a long time, and when I saw him today, I was really extraordinary." ”

"Where, Director Yang is polite. Li Hao responded modestly and arranged for Yang Shilei to sit on the sofa.

The two sides exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then began to discuss the topic of this time, that is, the filming of the two TV series.

When the topic talked about the special effects of TV dramas, Li Hao directly said the problem, "Director Yang, about these two TV series, because they are both urban abilities, a lot of special effects are needed in the play as visual impact and accentuation. You also know that the special effects of our domestic movies and TV series do not mean that you can achieve excellent results by spending money or spending money......"

After hearing this, Yang Shilei shook his head slightly, and then said with a sigh, "Mr. Li, to be honest, the cutting-edge equipment and technology in China are actually comparable to the United States and South Korea. However, there is a big gap in R&D and application. For example, the movie special effects of "Monster Hunt" are produced by Basefx, which is a first-line film and television special effects production company in China. They have a strategic partnership with Industrial Light & Magic, and the production of the whole film is separated from the special effects of five cents. However, since ILM has only done some key guidance, the level of participation is about 30. Therefore, if domestic special effects want to reach the level of American blockbusters, unless a foreign team is invited to produce 100, it will be difficult to ......"

Yang Shilei's words mean that domestic first-line film and television special effects production companies also need foreign help in order to do not be criticized in terms of special effects, and they are not up to the leading level.

Now the problem is in front of us, that is, the director, actors, and scripts are all in place, but the special effects can't keep up, which will become the biggest failure of the whole film.

"Director Yang, what you are talking about is the current situation in China, and it cannot be changed by one person. Here, I would like to ask Director Yang, do you know anything about the special effects company that produced the four Hollywood blockbusters "Doctor Strange", "Harry Potter", "Gravity", and "Avatar"?"

Seeing that Li Hao asked about the four popular films, director Yang Shilei replied truthfully with some incomprehension, "Mr. Li, the four films you just mentioned are very well-known, it is impossible not to know." Including the special effects company behind them, if I'm not mistaken, it's the European special effects giant Framestore, right?"

Framestore, Europe's largest special effects company, has won the Oscar for Best Special Effects. Especially in the film picture rendering, it is very good.

Li Hao quietly logged in to the privileged game, and then spent 83 million yuan to buy the shares of Framestore.

Hello host, did you spend 83 million yuan to buy 13.25 shares of Framestore?

"Yes. Li Hao directly pressed the confirmation button, and then the game screen jumped. A pale blue circle of light flew out of the screen and disappeared in front of him in an instant, heading towards the UK-based Framestore company.

As early as 2016, Framestore was acquired for $187 million, so Li Hao spent 83 million yuan to buy 13.25 shares of the company.

After purchasing all this, Li Hao, who was sitting in front of the sofa, said to Yang Shilei, "Director Yang, regarding the special effects of the TV series, I will contact the foreign team to arrange it, so please rest assured." ”

Li Hao did not disclose that he had already invested in the framestore company, after all, he was relatively low-key, even if he was rich, he would not show off everywhere.

Director Yang Shilei didn't know why Li Hao asked him about "Doctor Strange", "Harry Potter", "Gravity", and "Avatar". However, looking at Li Hao's identity and worth, director Yang Shilei didn't think much about it, just thought that the other party was just asking.

Including what Li Hao said just now, when it comes to contacting a foreign team, Yang Shilei doesn't know which company's team this foreign team is. Generally, the cost of inviting a foreign team is much higher than that of a domestic team, and even if you spend a lot of money to invite, I am afraid that you will not be able to invite any good team, because the foreigner's ideas are different from those of the Chinese, including communication, there are many problems between the two sides.

Two weeks later, in the conference room of Yihao Entertainment Company, director Yang Shilei, screenwriter Cui Da, and producer Xiao Hongsheng sat in their seats early, waiting for the foreign special effects team to arrive, and the two sides could do preliminary communication.

Li Hao did not appear at this meeting, because he had already arranged all the important steps, so he just left it to his subordinates to take care of.

Director Yu Lu stood at the front desk of the company with a translator, a little anxiously, to say that dealing with foreign special effects teams was the first time in her career. In order to make the communication between the two sides unimpeded, Yu Lu also specially hired a translator to follow the whole process.

Director Yang Shilei, screenwriter Cui Da, and producer Xiao Hongsheng in the conference room, and they don't know which team Li Hao has arranged.

Producer Xiao Hongsheng, wearing a gray suit and meticulously combing his hair, asked director Yang Shilei, "Shi Lei? Do you know which foreign team Mr. Li invited this time, and how much money did he spend on investment?"

Yang Shilei shook his head ignorantly, "I don't know which team to find, but he asked me before about the special effects team that made "Doctor Strange" and "Harry Potter", so I think the person who came should be a little famous." And the investment should be a lot of money. ”

Producer Xiao Hongsheng, as soon as he heard the two blockbusters "Doctor Strange" and "Harry Potter", his eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked, "Really? If we can invite a special effects team of that level, then our two TV series, after they are released, will definitely produce a lot of results, right?"

"I don't know, maybe, but I have to communicate with the special effects team. Director Yang Shilei said frankly.

"Well, I just hope that it doesn't end up, it's a third-rate foreign team, which not only has communication problems, but also the final effect may not be in line with the style of the TV series, so we will be very passive at that time. Screenwriter Cui Da said with some worry.
