Wei Wenming's face suddenly became unsightly, and he waved his hand angrily: "I know, you go out first!" ”

The female employee wanted to say something more, but when she saw Yu Dongqing sitting next to her, she swallowed back the words and turned around and walked out of the office.

Yu Dongqing asked in a tentative tone: "Mr. Wei, is there any difficulty in the company's operation?" ”

"Temporary, temporary." Wei Wenming snorted.

Scold?

It's still hard-mouthed.

Yu Dongqing said deliberately: "Actually, I came to Shanghai this time, and there is another thing. ”

"Oh?"

"Our country has also begun to produce blockbusters like Hollywood, and there is a great demand for special effects production, so I want to find a suitable film and television special effects production company and invest in the name of my studio. I'm quite optimistic about Mr. Wei's company, but it seems that you are not short of money, so forget it. ”

What?

Investment?

You said it earlier

Seeing that Yu Dongqing was about to stand up, he hurriedly said, "Director Yu, you wait." ”

Seeing Yu Dongqing sit down again, Wei Wenming sighed and said: "Actually, Director Yu, you also heard what our employees said just now, our company has no work now, and it is almost impossible to open the pot." ”

"It stands to reason that Mr. Wei, your company has such good technology and talents, it shouldn't be out of work." Yu Dongqing asked.

"Director Yu, you are a director, I think you also know well, which director in China is willing to invest in special effects? Let's just say that the "Yanjing Fortress" released this year invested 600 million, and it is said that it was spent on the actors' salaries of 330 million! And the special effects are less than 80 million, isn't this?! ”

Yu Dongqing listened silently.

Isn't that the same on that plane? However, the situation has gradually improved.

Seeing Yu Dongqing's silence, Wei Wenming asked in a tentative tone, "Director Yu, how much money are you going to invest?" ”

Yu Dongqing smiled and stretched out a finger.

"A million?"

"Ten million?"

Yu Dongqing smiled and shook his head: "One hundred million." ”

"What? 100 million?! Wei Wenming stood up suddenly and took a deep breath.

"Director Yu, you're not kidding?"

"Of course not. But let me take a tour of your company? ”

"No problem, Director Yu, please!"

Yu Dongqing followed Wei Wenming to visit with great interest.

The company is not big, only occupies the east side of the tenth floor, the office, the financial room, and the computer room. The largest is the technical department, Yu Dongqing went in and saw that there was a hall inside, about 30 people sitting in their respective offices, and the most striking thing was that each computer desk was equipped with two monitors.

"Six of them are veterans of our original company in the United States, who came back with us to start a business, and the rest are recruited after they come back, most of them are master's degrees, from 985 or 211 universities." Wei Wenming said in a low voice.

A young man in a plaid shirt was discussing something in a low voice with a few colleagues, Wei Wenming walked over and whispered a few words in his ear, and the young man walked over.

"This is my partner and partner, Liang Yang, who holds a master's degree in computer science from MIT, and he is responsible for the company's technology." Wei Wenming explained.

"Director Yu." Yang Liang shook Yu Dongqing's hand: "I just heard Wenming say that you want to invest, and you can ask me about technical matters." ”

"Huh. I only know a little bit about special effects technology, but I don't dare to compare with you technical experts" Yu Dongqing said modestly: "I'm just going around." ”

"That's okay, civilization will accompany you, I'll be busy with my go." Yang Liang said and walked over again to discuss in a low voice.

"Director Yu, don't care, Yang Liang is this temper." Wei Wenming hurriedly explained.

"It's okay, it's okay"

Yu Dongqing turned around and saw that most of them were young people, and suddenly a picture on a computer caught his eye.

is a concept map, how Yu Dongqing looks more and more like the planetary engine in "The Wandering Earth" in the original time and space!

"Mr. Wei, where did this picture come from?" Yu Dongqing asked.

"This is when we were in Hollywood, and director Christophe asked our team to do a set of concept drawings of what planetary engine it was."

Wei Wenming suddenly remembered something when he said this: "Yes, it is the planetary engine in "The Wandering Earth" you wrote, and later I heard that the transfer of the copyright of the film and television adaptation that you did not negotiate, this matter is over." ”

Yu Dongqing was secretly surprised when he heard this.

I didn't expect this Christoph to start so quickly, the copyright has not been negotiated, and he has already started looking for a special effects production company!

Yu Dongqing turned around, returned to Wei Wenming's office, and called Yang Liu from Yanjing, briefly explaining that she was going to invest in Wei Wenming's company, and asked her to bring people to Shanghai as soon as possible to negotiate with the other party on the investment.

After all, an investment of 100 million yuan, which involves the assets and technical evaluation of the invested company, share sharing, and power distribution, is not something that can be completed overnight.

When it was time to get off work in the evening, Wei Wenming said to invite Yu Dongqing to dinner.

"Director Yu, when you come to Shanghai, I will at least do my best to be a landlord. The company is poor, I pay out of my own pocket! ”

The place of the treat was in the Jintiandi Leisure Shopping Center, which is not far from the industrial park, and I found a hot pot restaurant on the fifth floor, and Yang Liang went with him.

"I am from Shenyang, Yang Liang is from Jiangxi, and our favorite food is hot pot." Wei Wenming said with a smile; "That's why I come over often."

"Civilization, no, your favorite pork stew vermicelli." Yang Liang said.

Wei Wenming laughed.

"It's a thief's fun, but I can't find it nearby."

The three of them drank beer and chatted and laughed while eating.

"Mr. Wei." Yu Dongqing just spoke, but was stopped by Wei Wenming: "Director Yu, we will become a family immediately, don't call me anything, see outside!" It's our elders, just call him by his name, I don't call you Director Yu, just call you Uncle Yu. ”

"Okay." Yu Dongqing smiled heartily and asked again: "Civilization, Yang Liang, your team has done special effects for the Silver Star Empire, what do you mainly do?" ”

This is where Wei Wenming is most proud, and it is also his own capital, and when he heard Yu Dongqing ask this question, he replied very humbly.

"My company has done special effects for Silver Star 4 and Silver Star 5, but you also know that a large-scale science fiction film like this, one special effects team can't take it, it is all done by several teams, and our team is mainly responsible for FX special effects, which is the spaceship explosion scene."

"That's the hardest thing to do."

"Yes, we're doing pretty well." Wei Wenming said with a smile.

"Awesome! Come and have a drink. Yu Dongqing raised his glass and the three of them touched it, and Yu Dongqing continued to ask.

"Civilization, since you are developing very well in Hollywood, why do you want to go back to China to develop?"

Wei Wenming didn't answer, and suddenly changed the conversation and asked.

"Brother Yu, I heard Li Li say that when Christophe talked to you about buying the copyright of "The Wandering Earth", the price was very expensive, why didn't you buy it? You also know that Christophe is a master of making science fiction films. ”

Yu Dongqing smiled when he heard it and said.

"I know Kristof is very high, but he can't shoot Chinese-style sci-fi."

"Yang Liang and I thought so: Hollywood will make it again for Americans, and I want to see Chinese sci-fi blockbusters that can be comparable to Hollywood."

"Here, let's work together, cheers."

"Cheers!"

They smiled and raised their beer glasses.
