Chapter 73: The Sword is still drunk! 【2/2】
After helping Old Man Xu into the office to rest, Zhang Mu immediately asked suspiciously:
"Third Master, when did you acquire Yinhua? I remember that the previous boss was not surnamed Fang? ”
Because there was no one else in the office, after Mr. Xu took a sip of tea, he saw him look at Zhang Mudao with emotion:
"Ah Niu, you are really a good person. Old man, I have lived for so many years, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to see a big guide from our Hengdian, it's worth it! ”
Although during the filming of "Pen Fairy", Mr. Xu thought that Zhang Mu was a rare talent.
But the old man never thought that Zhang Mu could be so demonic! But in a blink of an eye, it has already risen to the top.
Even if everyone knows that Lao Mouzi's new film will definitely have a box office of over 100 million, at least so far, the throne of this year's box office champion is still under Zhang Mu's ass.
Although he couldn't sit for long, it also reflected Zhang Mu's strength in the end.
Zhang Mu didn't know what to say about Old Man Xu's praise, so he had to smile silently.
But then Old Man Xu said with a serious look:
"Last time, you said about the development plan of Hengdian Film and Television City, I thought about it carefully, and it really makes sense."
"So during this time, many companies and associations have also been established, and many behind-the-scenes personnel have been brought to the film and television city."
"However, it is good to say that there are really few talents in film and television special effects in China. No, didn't it collide with you! ”
After some chatter from Old Man Xu, Zhang Mu knew that the old man was so resolute in his work.
After feeling that what he said made sense, he immediately and decisively reformed it.
Like the Yinhua special effects that participated in the bidding before, they were won by the old man in the past few days.
It was also for this reason that Mr. Xu knew some of the inside information of "Super Body", so he rushed over temporarily.
"How about it, Ah Niu, do you want to add a share of this Yinhua special effect?"
When Old Man Xu put forward this suggestion with a smile, Zhang Mu understood his intention, and immediately couldn't help laughing:
"I'll just say, how can a mere special effects project be worth your personal visit!"
However, when he thought of Old Man Xu's suggestion just now, Zhang Mu couldn't help but feel a little moved.
Zhang Mu didn't think about setting up a special effects company by himself before, but it is easy to start a company, but it is difficult to maintain a company! If you only rely on Makino's films, it is impossible to support a special effects company.
So after counting the money in his pocket, Zhang Mu had to reluctantly dispel this calculation.
But now the old man's suggestion suddenly made Zhang Mu want to move again.
He doesn't have much money, but Hengdian can afford it!
Especially with the implementation of Master Xu's "film and television post-production base" plan, special effects companies can take the road of small profits and quick turnover.
After all, so many crews who come to Hengdian to film every year are all potential customers.
Moreover, there is a reliable and powerful special effects company, which is also a plus for Hengdian Film and Television City.
However, after thinking about it with a slight frown, Zhang Mu simply got straight to the point:
"Third master, I won't go around the bend with you anymore!"
"Your special effects company can do it on its own, so why bother with me?"
Zhang Mu has always believed that pie will not fall from the sky, unless ...... That's what your mom gave it!
So if he can't figure out this problem, Zhang Mu would rather not eat this pie.
Seeing Zhang Mu say this, the old man was not angry, but glanced at Zhang Mu approvingly.
Immediately, after a moment of silence, Old Man Xu said slowly:
"Yinhua special effects can't be raised by Hengdian alone, if you only rely on the film and television city to live, then it will not be of much significance to Hengdian."
Speaking of this, I saw the old man pointing at Zhang Mudao:
"I hope Yinhua can attract a big director like you to film in the film and television city, it should become a thigh of Hengdian, not a hair!"
Hearing this, Zhang Mu understood that he still underestimated the old man after all!
Don't look at the old man's age, but the kind of mind and courage that "dares to change the sun and the moon into a new sky" is the same as back then!
Thinking of this, Zhang Mu was also relieved.
So after thinking for a while, Zhang Mu said decisively:
"Okay! Third master, Yinhua is my share! ”
But then Zhang Mu thought that Yinhua had been doing advertising special effects before and was not very proficient in the film and television industry.
So he immediately said: "In this way, Yinhua can do some auxiliary work for this project first, and when the talents and equipment are sufficient in the later stage, we will take a big order!" ”
When Old Man Xu heard this, he immediately nodded with a smile and said:
"Du Yiling, anyway, now you're the boss too!"
With that, the two began to chat.
As for the specific issue of shares, it is naturally left to his subordinates to discuss.
……
An hour later, the bidding meeting officially began.
After each special effects company took out its own samples to show and told their respective creative concepts, after some internal discussions, Zhang Mu only left VHQ and Hualong behind.
Hualong didn't need to say anything, it was established in 2000, with a starting investment of more than 300 million, it is a digital production company under China Film and the largest special effects production company in China.
It is not only the only "film digital production industrialization demonstration project" approved by the National Development and Reform Commission, but also has the only digital cinema film mastering system in China, providing digital film mastering for nearly 200 digital cinemas in China.
Every year, more than 85% of the post-processing and production of domestic films are completed in Hualong .
Its strength is there, but because it is too big, the problems of state-owned enterprises are also the same.
If it weren't for Han Sanpin's personal stare this time, Zhang Mu wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to this group of uncles.
However, with Han Sanpin's face, Hualong offers are indeed the most favorable, which is why Zhang Mu finally decided to keep them.
VHQ is a special effects company established in 1987, headquartered in Xinjiapo, and currently has branches in China, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, and Asan, and its strength is good.
However, they are not very famous now, and it was not until they participated in the special effects production of films such as "Life of Pi", "Avatar", and "Harry Potter" that they became popular in the industry.
So although VHQ's offer was a little higher, Zhang Mu finally decided to keep them.
As for Po Chaoting, who Zhang Mu cooperated with last time, I don't know what their supervisor thinks. Maybe he knew that Zhang Mu had made a fortune and wanted to slaughter him.
So he quoted an outrageous price, and kept hinting at Zhang Mu that he could talk about it in private.
Seeing his virtue, Zhang Mu directly excluded them first.
In this way, after determining the special effects company, before the film started shooting, the special effects production of "Super Body" had already begun.
Even according to Zhang Mu's request, Mr. Xu also promised to improve the studio for him to meet the shooting needs of "Super Body".
It's just because there is a scene in "Super Body" that pays tribute to the "weightless rotating corridor" in the later "Inception".
The props to be used are very complicated and cumbersome, so when "Inception" has not yet been released, Zhang Mu had to participate in the production himself.
So time passed quietly in Zhang Mu's back and forth......
[Thank you for the reward of "nrphf5" and "refuse", thank you!! 】

As for the question of superbody casting, I actually didn't want to say too much at first.
However, at the request of some book friends in the comment area, I will explain briefly.
First of all, the super body can have that box office later, it must be related to the widow sister, there is no doubt about it.
After all, at that time, she had just finished acting in the Avengers, and it was the time when her fame was at its peak.
However, in 2004, the widow sister was still a literary café and was not famous, so there was no fame bonus in choosing her.
As for the discomfort caused by the oriental face, I don't want to say anything more about it.
It will indeed affect part of the box office, but if for this reason, the heroine [that is, the core of the movie] is replaced by a white person, then what happened to Zhang Mucheng?
I don't dare to use Chinese for my own projects, which ...... Doesn't make sense, does it?
Also, this is fiction after all. If there is reasonableness, there will certainly be a bunch of unreasonableness.
I don't want to argue about anything because I don't want to affect the mood of other readers. After all, when I read novels myself, I also like to be quiet.
So I accept all your criticisms and suggestions, but I'm not one of those gods, and I'm afraid that my rhythm will be disrupted.
So...... Why don't you guys give me some time?
Also, thank you again to all the book friends who supported Elephant, thank you!
