Industrial Light & Magic, which is a well-known special effects company in the industry, is even rumored to be the No. 1 special effects company in the United States.

Produced by Warner and directed by Benjamin, the special effects of the film "Pacific Rim" were made by the famous company Industrial Light & Magic.

Since they have already decided to touch porcelain, they must touch a full set of porcelain.

So Xu Nan decisively found this company and asked them to help produce the special effects of "Atlantic Rim".

Xu Nan is still a little famous, and Industrial Light & Magic specially sent a manager to receive Xu Nan, named Vincent.

Vincent's eloquence is very good, and he took Xu Nan to visit Industrial Light & Magic, a well-known special effects company in the United States.

"Xu, our company is the No. 1 special effects company in the United States, and there have been many classic movies that have asked us to do special effects."

"'Terminator,' 'Titanic,' oh, and 'The Hobbit.'"

Speaking of this, Vincent smiled narrowly: "I'm sure you must be impressed by the dragon effect in The Hobbit, that's right, this is what our company made." ”

Xu Nan smiled: "I watched that movie, and the special effects in it were really shocking, especially the shot of the dragon Smaug, I was even scared." ”

Hearing Xu Nan's praise from the famous director, Vincent smiled proudly: "Of course, it was the pinnacle of our company. ”

"I can tell you a piece of news, do you know Warner's upcoming big-budget movie "Pacific Rim", directed and produced by Benjamin, and the special effects of this movie are also produced by our company, and this movie is about to be released, and I think the special effects in the movie will shock the whole world."

Xu Nan smiled: "I just watched that movie through internal channels, really, it was a wonderful special effects blockbuster, especially the mecha and monsters in it, which are unforgettable." ”

Seeing Xu Nan's reaction, Vincent secretly said in his heart that he was steady.

If nothing else, this business should be able to get a steady future, and he, as a receptionist, can also get a lot of commissions.

Because of this reason, Vincent's next hospitality became more enthusiastic, taking Xu Nan to visit the entire industrial light and magic, and even letting Xu Nan see the whole process of a simple special effects production.

Not to mention, ILM's technology in this area is really good, and the special effects are extremely realistic, just like live shooting.

After the visit, Xu Nan and Vincent entered a conference room and began a formal discussion.

"Xu, can you tell me now, how many minutes will it take for your movie special effects shots?" Vincent asked.

"Six minutes, my movie has six minutes of special effects footage." Xu Nandao.

Vincent groaned.

The six-minute special effects shot is short, but it's okay.

"My budget is $50,000." Xu Nan said again.

"Walter?" Vincent suspected he had misheard: "Xu, can you say it again, how much money are you going to spend on special effects?" ”

"Fifty thousand. USD. Xu Nan's expression was very serious.

Vincent's eyes widened, and his expression was incredulous: "Xu, we are the number one special effects company in the industry. ”

Xu Nan nodded: "I know, that's why I came to you." ”

"I think you probably didn't understand what I meant." Vincent laughed angrily: "We are the No. 1 special effects company in the industry, and we will only do the best special effects, so the fee is not low." ”

"Fifty thousand dollars, absolutely impossible."

Xu Nan laughed: "Vincent, don't worry, there are expensive methods, cheap methods, you can let them do special effects for 50,000 US dollars, I know the special effects will be terrible, but it doesn't matter, I don't mind." ”

"I don't mind." Vincent said angrily: "We are the No. 1 special effects company in the industry, and we have strict requirements for special effects, and we will never make a garbage special effect. ”

"You're a director, don't you have any pursuit of movie quality, $50,000 special effects, are you embarrassed to show the audience?"

Xu Nan nodded: "Excuse me." ”

Vincent was so angry that his body trembled.

Come to industrial light and magic to do special effects, which one is not a high requirement, especially the special effects, the more exquisite. The more realistic the better.

But this director doesn't mind that the special effects will be terrible.

He's not the kind of guy who, because of his limited conditions, is forced to compromise and accept low-quality special effects, and he's completely here for low-quality special effects.

How can there be such a director?

"In any case, it's impossible for our company to accept a $50,000 special effect, and a $50,000 six-minute special effect." Vincent said in a deep voice.

"I won't give up, and I'll do my best to convince you until you say yes." Xu Nan smiled.

Vincent was choked with anger.

Is this what you're supposed to say as a director?

Next, the two had a cordial and friendly exchange, fully exchanged views, enhanced the understanding of both sides, and finally reached an agreement.

ILM finally agreed.

Because Xu Nan said that the name of his movie is "Atlantic Rim", which is specially used to touch porcelain "Pacific Rim", the movie touches porcelain, and the special effects can also touch porcelain.

ILM can use this to promote its company.

Look, our industrial light and magic is very strong, tens of millions of special effects are made, and tens of thousands of special effects are also made.

Don't bargain with us, if you do, then look at the special effects of "Atlantic Rim".

Special effects companies also need publicity, and they also need gimmicks.

For the sake of this publicity, Vincent finally pinched his nose and agreed to Xu Nan's request.

Fifty thousand dollars, fifty thousand dollars.

Of course, the special effects made for 50,000 US dollars must be very poor, and they are basically the legendary five-cent special effects.

It's not even the level of five cents special effects, maybe only three cents.

It only took two days for Industrial Light & Magic to complete Xu Nan's special effects.

Well. How to say it.

This kind of special effect must be very rubbish, and it can only be said that it is barely passable.

But 50,000 dollars can have this level, so don't ask for so much.

In the end, when Vincent sent Xu Nan away, his expression was extremely ugly, and he even said a special word.

"Maybe I shouldn't say it, but I'm going to say it anyway."

"Xu, please don't spend tens of thousands of dollars on special effects in the future, this is an insult to us."

Xu Nan not only didn't get angry, but also comforted Vincent: "Believe me, Vincent, you will definitely not regret this decision." ”

"After the movie airs, it's a good advertisement for your company."

"You can even use me as an example for your clients."

Vincent's expression twitched, he didn't say anything, and waved Xu Nan away.

Although Xu Nan had not left at that time.

In any case, after some twists and turns, the special effects of "Atlantic Rim" are finally completed.

And the news soon reached the ears of Warner and Benjamin.
