Chapter 112: Lin Yuan's New Plan: Pacific Rim
Acquiring such a large company as Digital Dynasty is not a simple matter, not only must it first obtain the consent of Digital Domain, but also the legal counsel of the two companies need to do the corresponding docking, and then go to the Chaoyang District Government to go through the formalities.
After all, Digital Dynasty is a foreign company, and if it is wholly acquired by Yuanfang, it will become an outright private enterprise, and there are many complicated things.
But whether it's 90 million or 80 million, Lin Yuan has already made up his mind to acquire the digital dynasty anyway, and the rest of the things can be discussed between Pan Ya and the legal counsel in the distance.
After the two came out of the conference room, Lin Yuan thought about whether to hurry up or not late, so he simply asked Wang Xuebo to take him to the 3D model making room.
Because the liquidation has not yet ended, and the compensation of employees has not yet been paid, all employees of Digital Dynasty are still at work.
When Lin Yuan came to the 3D model making room, more than a dozen employees were competing on their respective workstations to see who could pinch out the most beautiful beauty on Maya.
When the two of them entered the door, everyone was so engrossed in modeling that they didn't notice that they had already walked in.
Lin Yuan motioned for Wang Xuebo not to make a sound, and casually walked behind a person and took a look.
At the beginning, Lin Yuan's attention was still on the model's face, thinking about which female star this person was pinching his face with reference.
After watching it for a long time, Lin Yuan came to his senses.
Hi! It's all modeled, who will pinch their faces according to people in reality? In reality, that woman can have such big eyes, such a straight nose, and such delicate lips?
Lin Yuangang lost the fun of [voyeurism] and was ready to signal everyone to stop this boring game.
As a result, he peeped at the person just a second before Lin Yuan was about to speak, and put a skin material on the model and put a light!
Lin Yuan looked at the double peaks like a longevity peach on the screen and the pair of long legs with a length of nearly 1.4, not much thicker than his arms, and suddenly his eyes were as big as lychees!
That's a great craft!
...
Lin Yuan wanted to acquire Digital Dynasty because he thought of a particularly suitable project - "Pacific Rim"!
Although Lin Yuan is not a fan of mechas, he has not seen any EVA.
Strictly speaking, Lin Yuan actually prefers to see the big Ultraman since he was a child.
But in the previous life, in the movie theater, I saw the pilot in "Pacific Rim" controlling a super giant mecha nearly 100 meters high and weighing 1,000 tons to fight monsters in the Pacific Ocean, which made Lin Yuan's blood boil!
Lin Yuan's biggest regret at that time was that the Huaguo mecha in the film was set to be too wastewood, and it didn't show much operation after leaving the factory, and it was taken away by a wave of monsters.
So after Lin Yuan found out that there was no "Pacific Rim" in this world, and now that there was such a good opportunity to acquire a very mature special effects company, he couldn't help but start fantasizing about making a Chinese mecha!
There are actually a lot of loopholes in the script of "Pacific Rim", and in Lin Yuan's opinion, the best way to explain this kind of thing that can't be explained with science is not to explain it.
The style of the mecha should go in the direction of hard sci-fi, but the overall script logic should be in the direction of soft sci-fi as much as possible.
If the setting is brought to Marvel's kind of fantasy, there will be a lot fewer people who find fault with technology and logic bugs.
Otherwise, if you insist on explaining things that don't make sense, you will only attract a large group of viewers who find faults.
[Dozens of meters thick concrete walls can be broken by monsters, and iron mecha is not as hard as dozens of meters thick reinforced concrete walls no matter how resistant they are, right? ] 】
[No matter how powerful the mecha is, can it be as powerful as a nuclear bomb? ] Can there be ICBMs that are more lethal? 】
[Obviously you can use a sword, but you have to let the mecha smash it with a big fist? ] 】
...
Lin Yuan found a computer, opened his mailbox and showed everyone the schematic diagram of the five mecha in "Pacific Rim" that he had drawn last night: Storm Crimson, Dangerous Wanderer, Tango Wolf, Cherno Alpha, and Eureka Raider.
"Mecha?"
"That's right, I'm going to make a sci-fi movie about mecha vs. monsters, and I'll leave the special effects to you."
Then, Lin Yuan told everyone the story of the whole movie.
[In 2016, a parallel universe "Breakthrough Point" appeared in the depths of the Pacific Ocean Sea, and then a huge monster appeared from the "Ocean" and destroyed San Francisco and many surrounding cities with amazing combat effectiveness.
After discovering that conventional missiles and armor-piercing bombs could not cause damage to monsters, humans had no choice but to choose nuclear bombs.
Although the nuclear bomb succeeded in destroying the monster, the radius of San Francisco turned into a barren land.
Subsequently, monsters continued to emerge from the breach point, appearing one after another in various Pacific Rim cities.
In the end, humanity invented their own "monster": the Mecha Hunter
Due to the large size and complex operation of the mecha hunter, the brain of a single person is under a high load, and only two operators can connect their brain neural networks to control the mech hunter.
On November 5, 2021, a monster appeared in the East China Sea, and the Tian brothers manipulated the [Great Sage] mecha to meet the monster, and the elder brother Tian Wen was unfortunately killed in the battle, and the younger brother Tian Wu returned alone in the almost scrapped [Great Sage].
Three years later, due to the continuous enhancement of the monster's combat effectiveness, the [Earth Community of Destiny] decided to recall the third-generation mecha [Great Sage], and at the same time recalled Tian Wu as the pilot.
Immediately after the fourth-level monsters "Tailed Rat" and "Ridgeback Turtle" landed in Shanghai, in the fierce battle, the American mecha [Dangerous Wanderer] and the Russian mecha [Chernoalpha] were unfortunately killed, and the new generation of Chinese mecha [Heavenly General] was paralyzed, and the [Great Sage] temporarily attacked and defeated the invading monsters one by one. In this battle, all the mechs except for the [Heavenly General] and [Great Sage] were killed.
After the First World War in Shanghai, the [Community of Shared Future on Earth] decided to immediately implement the gap destruction operation plan. In the deep sea, the [Great Sage] skillfully killed the fourth-level monster "Swift Dragon", and the [Heavenly General] self-exploded and the fourth-level monster "Abomination" was killed, and at the same time seriously injured the fifth-level monster "Poisonous Woman", and finally the [Great Sage] passed through the gap and successfully blew up the wormhole through self-destruction]
"If this film is made, do you think with the company's current personnel and capabilities, it will be possible to complete such a project in a year?"
Wang Xuebo looked at the five giant mecha on the computer screen that were 100 meters high and weighed 1,000 tons, and pursed his lips tightly.
"This is really not guaranteed, because the most feared thing about special effects production is rework and waste shots, if it is calculated according to the convention, if you want to reach the Hollywood level, the production time will be at least 19 months.
And according to the estimate of movies of the same grade, the cost of special effects will be 400 million. ”
Wang Xuebo seemed to feel that Lin Yuan was inhaling cold air, and hurriedly explained:
"Of course, these 400 million are external charges, if you simply calculate the company's equipment, personnel and production costs, almost as long as the 6 achievements of the charge are enough."
As he spoke, Wang Xuebo smiled and rubbed his hands.
"After all, we're going to eat."
