Chapter Seventy-Five: If You Want to Play, Play High-Tech!
At present, the beautiful country is a beacon of civilization in the whole world and a symbol of the development of human society to the peak.
As early as more than 30 years ago, the beautiful country had a manned spacecraft on the moon.
Also more than 30 years ago, the production level of science fiction movies shot in the beautiful country was enough to kill the vast majority of current movies.
Therefore, people in many countries dream of immigrating to a beautiful country, and China is no exception.
Feng Xiaogang's early TV series "Peking People in New York", as well as the movie "See You or Leave", all tell the story of Chinese in a beautiful country.
In this era, it is a matter of course to immigrate to a beautiful country, and the trend in society is to move to a beautiful country and make a lot of money by serving dishes.
This time I came to Haolaiwu, it was Mu Rong's first time to come to the beautiful country.
Before that, he, like everyone else, could only know the beautiful country through television, newspapers and other means.
In the media propaganda, the beautiful country is simply advanced as if it were an alien civilization.
Therefore, Mu Rong is also full of curiosity about the beautiful country.
He wanted to know if the beautiful country was as powerful and rich as advertised.
After coming to the beautiful country, the first stop is Jiuxin City, and then to Luoshanji, and go straight to Haolaiwu.
Mu Rong took a closer look and finally determined that the strength and wealth of the beautiful country were real.
Here in the beautiful country, almost everyone has a car.
This shows that the industrial level of the beautiful country is extremely developed and can produce cars that meet the needs of the whole people.
In the restaurant, the chicken, duck and fish meat are all pure meat, and there are no bones, heads, feet and other leftovers.
This also shows that the food industry in the beautiful country is also strong and can have enough food to make the people waste so much.
And in China, there are still many places where you can't even afford to eat, such as Gu Tsai and the poor area he has visited.
Mu Rong has to admit that the current beautiful country is indeed much richer than China.
However, his psychology was not unbalanced because of this, but a lot easier.
The beautiful country was indeed rich, but it did not exceed his imagination.
And after seeing the strength and wealth of the beautiful country, he realized more deeply how fast the country has developed in the more than 20 years since its reopening.
The beautiful country is like a pioneer who started hundreds of years in advance, and it is normal to be strong and rich.
At that time, he was bent on reviving Qianyan, although he did not succeed, but it was not for nothing.
He learned to think from a perspective other than the event and analyze the essence of things.
There must be a reason why a beautiful country can be so powerful.
And the way to make money is hidden in it.
For example, if you refurbish those cheap old cars and sell them to China or other countries, you should be able to make a lot of money on the price difference.
For example, it is also a good business to buy the leftovers such as heads and hooves after slaughtering in the breeding factory in the beautiful country, and transport them back to China after freezing.
It is said that in the breeding factory here, these leftovers are directly discarded, and if someone recycles them, they don't even have to spend money to buy them.
In fact, there are already many Xiangjiang people doing these businesses, and they are making a lot of money.
However, Mu Rong is not very interested in these businesses that have almost no threshold, and he is most interested in the computer CG film special effects technology here in the beautiful country.
After coming to Hollywood, he realized that the real reason why he thought that the beautiful country was an alien civilization was because of the propaganda of film culture.
As early as 68 years, Hollywood used powerful film special effects technology to shoot "Space Odyssey 2001", a year before the Apollo moon landing.
The magnificent space scenes, the stunning spaceships, and all kinds of sci-fi elements in the movie are amazing.
After watching this movie, many people will naturally bring the scenes in this movie into reality after learning the news of the success of Apollo's moon landing.
But in fact, the level of aviation technology in the beautiful country is far from what is filmed in the movie.
And the same is true of the subsequent "Star Wars" series, the "Star Trek" series.
The movie is wonderful and good-looking, but it is just a fictional story, and realistic special effects, and the real beautiful country is far from being as powerful as it appears in the movie.
However, people who do not know the specific situation are often easily misled, produce psychological hints, and unconsciously raise their perception of the strength of the beautiful country.
Even Mu Rong himself had a similar delusion.
It is true that a country that successfully landed on the moon more than 30 years ago is very powerful, and even Murong believes that no other country will be able to surpass it in the coming decades.
But its power is limited, and it can't beat the alien fleet like in the movie.
The reason why people all over the world have the illusion that the beautiful country is invincible and can kill the whole world with one finger is that the special effects technology of the film has contributed a lot.
Even putting aside the publicity role of the movie, the special effects of the movie itself are also an excellent tool for making money.
In the whole year of last 02, in the world box office rankings, the top ten films almost all relied on super movie special effects to conquer the audience, and the box office of each movie far exceeded the annual box office of the entire domestic market.
For example, "Minority Report", which ranked tenth last year, grossed $358 million.
And "Men in Black 2", "Star Wars Prequel 2: Attack of the Clones", "Spider-Man", "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets", and "The Lord of the Rings 2: The Two Towers", the top five movies, are each super special effects blockbusters.
He believes that the future film market must belong to special effects blockbusters, and it is difficult for traditional films to resist this impact.
He is not the first to wake up, and the domestic market has already reacted.
Boss Xiang invested in special effects blockbusters like "The Legend of Shushan" a few years ago, but the box office was not ideal.
It wasn't until last year that Zhang Guoshi's "Hero" was released and won a global box office of $250 million in one fell swoop, which really sounded the horn of domestic blockbusters.
However, "Hero" is not a movie based on CG special effects, and the big scenes are built up with people.
And such a big scene, here in the special effects company, only needs dozens of engineers to sit in front of the computer to do it.
This is the crushing of technology, and it is difficult to resist it by manpower.
Therefore, after returning from Hollywood, Mu Rong made a decision.
If he were to choose an industry to do outside of acting, then the special effects studio would be his first choice.
Play high-tech if you want to play!
However, the premise of playing high-tech is that you can afford to burn money.
Touching the empty pockets, Mu Rong immediately threw himself into the filming of the movie with full enthusiasm.
Du Qifeng and Mu Rong negotiated the contract.
On the side of Xiangjiang, Mu Rong is just a newcomer, and his salary is not too high, only 500,000.
Because of Xiang Tai's care, Du Qifeng gave Mu Rong another plan, that is, to include the 500,000 salary in the film investment, and get box office dividends when the movie is released.
However, there are also risks in getting dividends, if this movie hits the street at the box office, then Mu Rong may not even get 500,000.
But as long as the box office exceeds the production cost of 15 million, then Mu Rong can get a higher dividend than 500,000.
500,000 and box office dividends, Mu Rong did not hesitate at all, and directly chose the dividends.
He is no different from having nothing now, he is not afraid to wear shoes barefoot, and of course he has to choose to take risks.
So, in mid-February, Mu Rong officially attended the press conference of "Big Old" as the leading actor.
