It rained heavily in the afternoon.

The heavy rain fell for more than three hours, dispelling the summer heat and ushering in the coolness of autumn.

Sitting by the window of Huaxing's office, Zhou Yang overlooked the distance, felt the gust of breeze blowing, and felt extremely comfortable.

Not far away, a few workers took advantage of the coolness and began to slowly hang several signboards of "Baoli Technology" on the top of the office building in the shouting of Zhang Genshui downstairs.

"Now what technology does everyone use, I use Polaroid mobile phones as signboards, some of them are not up to the grade, we also have to keep pace with the times!"

It's hard to imagine.

The coal boss who used to smoke a cigar and cigarette in the mountains, now he has given up the big thick chain, and has begun to wear glasses and a suit, although he doesn't know much, but his mouth is full of words such as "business", "technology" and "pattern", and he will often go to places such as "President's Advanced Training Course", "Golf Training Gym" and "Horse Farm" to experience the style of successful people, like entrepreneurs who are "on the Forbes" list in the new era.

In the past two years, he has changed too much, and perhaps the only thing that has not changed is the superstitious sense that goes deep into his bones.

"Move again!"

"A different position is the position of the compass......"

"Master, do you see this position?"

“……”

Holding the walkie-talkie, he waved his hand to the workers above from time to time, and the sound from the walkie-talkie could be heard from a long distance.

Under his command, the signboard of "Baoli Technology" was hung for more than two hours, and the workers were tossed and miserable, but there was nothing they could do.

Sunset.

Yanjing has always been a gray sky, but under this rain, it became extremely clear, looking into the distance, the word "blue sky like washing" appeared in Zhou Yang's mind.

Zhou Yang could see it, lowered his head, and began to think about the future of "Huaxing".

A gust of wind blew, blowing a series of documents on Zhou Yang's desk and.

The latest music newspaper was blown into the air, and Zhou Yang inadvertently saw a headline of the music newspaper......

[The last "return to the light" of the physical album of "Sunshine", the actual album has come to an end]

Zhou Yang didn't pick up the newspaper that was blown all over the ground like before, nor did he pick up the newspaper.

At this moment, he was deep in thought.

This world is a little more technologically advanced than the original world.

Originally, 3G had just been enlightened in the world at this time, and 3G had begun to be put into use in this world, and audio-visual mobile phones were becoming more and more popular, as if it was already a huge outlet.

At this time in the world, Weibo has not yet started, and the world's Weibo has gradually matured, and there are more and more people......

The online shopping industry is also maturing, and shopping sites such as Sobao and Shenmao Mall have carved up the majority of the world's online shopping in China, and they will fight to the death in November every year.

……

After the vigorous development of the Internet, many old generations have gradually begun to be eliminated, such as MP3, such as MP4, for example, physical albums that are declining day by day.

A lot of things are like learning, if you don't advance against the current, you will retreat.

It's the same with this society.

Now that Huaxing has reached this time, the next plan is particularly important.

"Infernal Affairs" can win "Superman 2" at the box office, which is completely the result of Zhou Yang's impulsiveness.

After watching Hollywood movies wreak havoc in the Chinese film industry, after being made waves of money like harvesting leeks, although Zhou Yang's expression was very calm, he was inevitably unhappy in his heart.

People are changing......

He's changing, too.

When he was poor, Zhou Yang thought most about how to eat, how to live humbly and without offending anyone.

After no longer being poor and having a certain amount of influence and energy in this circle, Zhou Yang's competitiveness began to gradually expand in addition to widening his horizons.

Under normal publicity, it is impossible for "Infernal Affairs" to win "Superman 2", this is the consensus in everyone's hearts.

Therefore, he has always been very calm, but inevitably at the box office of "Infernal Affairs", he began to be not very calm, wrapped in some "charity" things.

Even if "Infernal Affairs" doesn't make much money at the box office, he still wants to win once, at least once in terms of the total box office.

But after winning for several days, Zhou Yang found that he was not as excited as he imagined......

Do this......

After all, it is not a long-term solution.

If you really want to win a Hollywood blockbuster, you can only win with a Hollywood blockbuster.

Zhou Yang returned to the chair and opened the script of "Spider-Man" again, and after reading the script for a long time, Zhou Yang began to think about it seriously.

The original world of "Spider-Man" was very expensive to shoot, close to $130 million.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yang didn't dare to shoot "Spider-Man" after writing the script of "Spider-Man" for a long time.

US$130 million......

directly emptied Huaxing's family funds, and even had to borrow a large amount of money.

Although the water in the film industry is very deep, and the investment of 130 million on the surface may be less after wringing out the water, it is estimated that it is about 100 million US dollars.

"Knock knock!"

Just when Zhou Yang was roughly estimating the budget for "Spider-Man", there was a knock on the door in the office.

Then a blonde-haired young man walked over curiously under the leadership of Xu Mei.

"Hello, Mr. Mark."

"Hello, Mr. Zhou Yang......"

The young man at the head wore glasses, he was very tall, about 1.9 meters, but he was very thin, he didn't look like any flesh in his whole body in a sweatshirt, standing in front of Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang vaguely felt that he was like a bone frame.

This person smiled very brightly at Zhou Yang when he came over, and when he shook hands with Zhou Yang, he grabbed it very tightly, and his eyes were full of enthusiasm and inexplicable heat.

His name is Mark.

He is the head of the Huaxia department of Vitas Digital, one of Hollywood's well-known special effects companies.

"Superman 2", "Sewell", "New World" and other movies that caused a huge sensation around the world are all proud works of the company.

"Spider-Man" wants to be filmed well, and the special effects are definitely the big head.

After a little pleasantry, Zhou Yang and Mark began to talk about movie shots.

But Zhou Yang found that when Mark was talking about the movie scenes, he seemed to be listening very seriously, but his eyes were fluctuating, and he seemed to be a little careless.

About half an hour later, when Zhou Yang finished speaking of the general requirements, the light in Mark's eyes became more and more vigorous, and he suddenly gave a thumbs up in amazement: "Mr. Zhou Yang, I probably understand your requirements, you are going to make an epic blockbuster comparable to "Superman 2", amazing, amazing!" I am very much looking forward to working with you! ”

"Ahem, ahem, it's actually a special effects problem......" Zhou Yang heard Mark's exclamation, and he didn't know if it was too exaggerated or for some reason, he felt very uncomfortable.

He always thought this person was weird......

"As a professional special effects team, after listening to you finish the general special effects of "Spider-Man", I think the special effects of "Spider-Man" must definitely use the top production...... It can't be worse than "Superman 2......" Mark chattered to Zhou Yang about a series of professional knowledge about special effects.

"Hmmm......"

Zhou Yang was stunned when he heard it, he didn't know much about the special effects of the movie, especially when Mark said some lofty words, Zhou Yang only felt like he was listening to a book from heaven.

He suddenly realized that he was going to find someone who knew how to come and talk.

Mark babbled from the analysis of the framework of the movie to the production of special effects for the movie, and recommended their latest special effects of Vitas Digital to Zhou Yang, and asked the assistant to take out a pair of things similar to VR glasses from his bag and hand them to Zhou Yang for Zhou Yang to wear.

"This is our experience of Jurassic's special effects, and what you see now is exactly the same experience that audiences see in the auditorium...... This is a new product, a combination of virtual reality technology, Mr. Zhou Yang, don't be afraid, this is not magic, nor hypnotism......"

After watching Zhou Yang put on his glasses, Mark showed a little smug on his face, but then disappeared.

VR glasses are a rarity in this day and age......

After wearing these glasses, many directors will be frightened by the special effects and thrills shown in the glasses, not to mention Zhou Yang, a Chinese director who has never seen the world.

However......

"The special effects are really good......"

After Zhou Yang wore the VR glasses for a while, he took off the VR glasses again, and there was no surprise on his face, he just said a word, and then nodded.

"Mr. Zhou Yang, the group you are watching is "Jurassic", and there is another group of ...... of the starry sky"

"Mr. Mark, what is the approximate special effects budget for Spider-Man? Or...... Would you go back and talk to the team about giving me a budget now? Zhou Yang shook his head and didn't wear VR glasses anymore.

When Mark saw that Zhou Yang was very calm, and he was not shocked by his VR technology like a hillbilly at all, his eyes flashed a little surprised, but then he looked at Zhou Yang with a smile: "Mr. Zhou Yang, if you use the latest technology, in fact, the special effects are not particularly expensive, roughly calculated...... 100 million dollars! ”

"How much?"

"$100 million ......"

After repeating the numbers, Mark said some professional terms to Zhou Yang with a bright smile.

Tell me how many computers, how many workers, how many sets of renders, how many man-hours and special effects parts are needed for a shot......

Zhou Yang listened......

The staggering figure of $100 million remains in my mind.

When Mark finished saying these terms, he began to praise Zhou Yang again, and called the movie "Spider-Man" a cross-era product, a real sci-fi fantasy blockbuster in China.

Zhou Yang was not lost by the praise, but faintly felt that this guy had slaughtered himself as a pig.

"Mr. Mark, I'll think again!"

"Okay, Mr. Zhou Yang."

Zhou Yang finally sent Mark away.

Wait until Mark leaves......

One after another, several business leaders from the special effects team from Hollywood came over.

Others quoted even more outrageously than Mark.

Some directly quoted 150 million dollars, and some were even more exaggerated, and even directly quoted 200 million US dollars, which is simply a sky-high asking price......

In the evening.

Zhou Yang called Li Qiang, the person in charge of the post-production group who had just finished his work, and talked to Li Qiang about this matter, and specially asked Li Qiang to talk to these people, after all, Li Qiang is professional.

Li Qiang's face was originally quite bright, but when he finished chatting and kept bargaining, his face began to become extremely gloomy.

"Damn it, they're here to kill the pigs!"

"They saw that we donated all the box office of "Infernal Affairs", and they thought that we had special money, and they all came to make money......"

"When I hung up the phone just now, I heard them scolding us on the phone for being poor and sour to the bone......"

"Huaxia, a group of directors who advocate blockbusters and special effects, raised them, are we really in Huaxia or kneeling and licking their colonies at the beginning?"
