Chapter 17: Negotiation (II)

When he was teaching himself to direct, Li Xianyun also learned to draw some storyboards.

Because of the need to negotiate, Li Xianyun hurried to work on a few more articles, sorted them out and handed them to everyone.

If you really look at it professionally, you will definitely be able to see a bunch of problems in this storyboard, but Wu Bao and Liu Qingzhi are not professional.

The best way to defraud these days is not to scammers to deceive fools, but to deceive outsiders.

Wu Bao and Liu Qingzhi are certainly not fools, but they are laymen!

No matter how clever a layman is, he is a fool in front of an insider!

Pointing to the storyboard, Li Xianyun flickered, what camera position is placed, what lens is used, it can create a beautiful effect, Shannan Haibei is a nonsense, not to mention Wu Bao and Liu Qingzhi, even Ren Zhi was dizzy.

I've never seen you so good at blowing before?

You can fool me better than me!

But Li Xianyun is different from him.

Ren Zhi is fooling money, but Li Xianyun is fooling Quan-Li Xianyun doesn't want to make money with a clear conscience, but he attaches great importance to power.

Because he doesn't have permission, the people below want to be demons, and you can't control it, so his investment will really be lost.

Ren Zhi, the only one who can expose Li Xianyun's "true face", is unlikely to dismantle his platform, so Li Xianyun has to say "I don't believe you ask Ren Zhi" from time to time, and Ren Zhi can only nod with a smile on his face.

It has the meaning of "the world's directors are only my brother and my brother".

After a general explanation at this moment, Li Xianyun pointed to the mirror not far away: "Look at that." ”

The three of them turned their heads to look, and saw that the image of a female ghost had appeared in the mirror, and what was even more terrifying was that this female ghost even came out with half a head to look at them, so real that it almost touched their faces, but everyone was shocked.

Li Xianyun waved his hand, and the image of the female ghost disappeared: "Do you know 3D holographic projection, AR and MR?" ”

The two nodded together.

Li Xianyun handed them the materials he had prepared a long time ago.

Holographic projection technology, also known as virtual imaging technology, is a technology that uses the principle of interference and diffraction to record and reproduce the real three-dimensional image of an object, which can not only produce a three-dimensional aerial illusion, but also make the illusion interact with the performer.

AR is an augmented reality technology, a new technology that integrates real world information and virtual world information "seamlessly", and is a physical information (visual information, sound, taste, touch, etc.) that is difficult to experience in a certain time and space range in the real world, through computer and other science and technology, simulation and then superposition, the virtual information is applied to the real world, perceived by human senses, so as to achieve a sensory experience beyond reality.

MR, also known as mixed reality, includes both augmented reality and augmented virtuality, and refers to a new visual environment created by merging the real and virtual worlds. In the new visualization environment, physical and digital objects coexist and interact in real time.

The biggest player in the MR space is Magic Leap, which has received a total investment of $1.4 billion from the release of a few video images, but it has since been proven to be a fraud.

These are all searched, what is going on, in fact, Li Xianyun also knows a little about it.

But this doesn't affect him to blow - anyway, everyone doesn't understand, and he makes a bunch of professional terms fool!

At this moment, he said directly: "I have a collaboration with a company that is working on this new technology that can make projections suitable for film shooting. Even if it is a theatrical movie with more than 30 million, there will be no technology of this level. ”

He'd forgotten that he had done his own nonsense, but now this lie was obviously more reliable.

Wu Bao and the others have only heard of these terms, and they don't understand the actual situation at all.

Anyway, this is the power of science and technology! You don't understand because it's too advanced.

Science is mythologized at this moment, and Wu Baoliu Qingzhi only admires it.

Of course, a movie is not supported by special effects alone.

With just two ghosts, there is not enough investment in other aspects, this is still a bad movie, and the so-called ghost special effects are realistic enough, at best, it has become one of the highlights.

If you really want to judge such a finished film, it is equivalent to taking tens of millions of dollars to make some special effects, and the cost of other aspects is only millions, and the priority of resource allocation is reversed, resulting in the result that the money is not spent in the right place, and all of it is wasted.

A producer with a real brain would never do that.

But who told Li Xianyun not to spend the cost.

Liu Qingzhi was puzzled: "With such a good technique, why don't you use it in a big production?" ”

"Because I want to be a director, a high-cost big production, I won't choose to take this risk." Li Xianyun replied.

Wu Bao and Liu Qingzhi also reacted that Li Xianyun, the director, was equivalent to exchanging his own special resources, and this special resource is obviously worth more than two million.

To put it bluntly, the director also brought money into the group.

Resources of the capital!

Wu Bao thought for a while and asked, "Change it into a ghost movie?" Two ghosts? ”

"Yes." Li Xianyun replied in the affirmative.

"But there is not enough investment in other aspects, and the quality of the finished film is still not good." Liu Qingzhi frowned.

Damn, at this point you know how to consider the quality of the film?

What did you do earlier?

Li Xianyun said with a smile: "The main selling point of this film is the secret room and ghosts, you have already seen ghosts, let you see the secret room now." ”

As he spoke, he waved his hand, and the three of them noticed that the couch under their feet was moving.

"This ......" Liu Qingzhi folded her legs in surprise and sat on the sofa.

"The agency house, a lot of money has been spent on this, and what you see is only part of it." Li Xianyun waved his hand, and the sofa stopped.

With another move, the chandelier above his head slowly lowered and put it away, and the cabinet next to it drifted and slid for a while, and then automatically returned to its original position, directly making the three of them stupid.

Li Xianyun didn't plan to reveal too much, snapped his fingers, and regained the attention of the three of them.

He said: "My plan is like this, this is a horror film, ghosts harm people, but in order to deal with ghosts, people have built a trap house, and use organs to deal with ghosts, this story is not available on the market, and the plot is novel." In terms of graphics, the mechanism is the selling point, and so are the ghosts, and with the help of our holographic projection technology, we can achieve many shots that were not possible in previous movies. The camera shots you've seen now are just the easy part, and I'm going to make some really top-of-the-line shots in particular when the time comes. This film may be weak in other aspects due to cost reasons, but at the core, it will definitely shine! As you know, there are often some classic shots replayed in short videos now, and when the time comes, as long as we shoot some classic shots, after dissemination, we can bring a wave of traffic. ”

Hearing this, the two of them were finally moved.

Even Ren Zhi was a little excited and couldn't help himself.

Because it works!

In fact, many bad movies will also spend a lot of money to make some wonderful titles and tidbits, the purpose is to fight the audience's attention. It's just that it is relatively rare to be as extreme as Li Xianyun.

Because the seventh minute enters the paid stage, the university must lead the audience to the seventh minute in the free stage. Therefore, someone else's network may invest 3 million in the first 6 minutes, and 4 million in the next 80 minutes.

Your film is equivalent to an investment of 8 million in the first 6 minutes and 1 million investment in the next 80 minutes.

The difference is outrageous!

But at least you can deceive!

The essence of movies is deception.

Those who have a conscience deceive the audience, and those who have no conscience deceive investors!

Ren Zhi wanted to say something, but Li Xianyun glared, and he shrank back.

Wu Bao thought for a moment and said, "How many minutes will the ghost appear?" ”

Wu Bao has also heard some things, and knows that the cost of special effects is also related to the duration. If you two ghosts only appear for a few seconds, no matter how good they are, they will be in vain.

But in fact, this is a layman's statement, and the special effects are actually calibrated by the number of shots.

Li Xianyun didn't bother to explain to him, and replied directly: "Not less than ten minutes." ”

Li Xianyun can do more shots, but the theoretical cost is too high, and it really can't be covered up, and there will be many professionals who are strange, although this is a stupid and bad film that does not distinguish between primary and secondary, but it also costs tens of millions to complete the production, how can it be done with four million?

Wu Bao was still not satisfied: "Ten minutes is a bit short. ”

Damn, how long is a movie?

Talking to a layman is also tiring.

Li Xianyun smiled: "I'll try to add as much as possible, ten minutes is a guarantee, and this part can be agreed in the contract." As for how much such a cost is, I suggest you ask someone who knows how to do it. If you can make a picture like this at a lower cost, then congratulations. ”

At that moment, Wu Bao and Liu Qingzhi had a phone call.

After about two hours of verification, the two investors finally determined that the special effects of this level were indeed valuable, and combined with the machine house, two million was definitely enough.

Although they can't figure out why Li Xianyun doesn't use this technology to directly cooperate with major film and television companies, they are unwilling, and that is an opportunity.

Of course, the value is the value, and the price still has to be negotiated.

The other party asks for a price all over the sky, and he pays back the money on the ground.

Li Xianyun's biggest problem is that he only has two ghosts and a special effect of a trap house, and he can't come up with anything else.

This makes the special effects of the grade high, but it is like the Lord of the Rings with an ordinary network, it is too much of a waste of resources, and it is necessary to make some concessions.

After negotiation, the total price was finally finalized at 3 million, and Li Xianyun used the agency house, ghost special effects, 300,000 cash, four job identities, a script and the villa site, with a total price of 1.5 million, accounting for 50% of the shares.

Ren Zhi gave up his shares, because he only had 700,000 in his hand, Li Xianyun also lent him 300,000 yuan to let him repay the debt, which was completely out. The only good thing is probably to settle a troublesome matter.

But his producer name will remain, and Ren Zhi will still need to be re-established.

The agreement was reached.

Before leaving, Ren Zhi also wanted to study how the sofa and tea tray moved, but was kicked away by Li Xianyun.
