In the lounge, Han Sanping lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly, constantly weighing it in his mind.

How about this script?

It's not amazing, it's even a little cliché, it's a very simple future world, the story of human beings developing large-scale mecha to fight against the monsters that invaded the earth, and the first part of "Shelter" is inherited as a whole, with the same story background.

The overall completion of the script is very high, and it can be regarded as a classic business model script.

Such a film is no problem in Hollywood, but in China, the problem is big.

Of course, he was referring to shooting.

Can it really be done 100%?

Han Sanping couldn't help but put a question mark in his mind.

He turned to Sun Yi, his eyes were very deep, and Sun Yi in front of him was young, handsome, and high-spirited, with a confident smile on his face.

If you do it, you have a 50% success rate, and if you don't do it, you will never see success.

Han Sanping has already made a decision in his heart.

Unlike Han Sanping, Harvey read the project plan over and over again, and as for the script and original painting, he simply glanced at it twice and put it aside.

As a top producer in Hollywood, I don't know how many copies of similar scripts and design drafts have been read, and these things can no longer make him interested.

As for the script, he only needs to simply scan it, and he knows in his heart that this is a typical Hollywood-style science fiction story to save the world, such a script, Hollywood does not know how many are born every year, the key is the director's control of the rhythm, at this point, Sun Yi also proved himself in the previous "Shelter".

Always follow in the footsteps of the successful until he fails.

This is the experience that Harvey has remembered for so many years in Hollywood.

He is willing to continue to invest in him until Sun Yi does not fail, and the only problem now is the specific production cost and feasibility of the project.

Harvey put away the smile on his face, pointed to the plan, and said to Sun Yi: "My friend, this plan says that your budget is $50 million. ”

Sun Yi nodded and replied, "Yes." ”

Harvey put down the plan, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "My dear Sun, this is impossible, even if you say that you want to shoot in Huaxia, but this is also impossible." ”

As he spoke, he took out an original sketch from the coffee table, raised it to Sun Yi, and said: "If you want to achieve this level of effect, such a high-level special effect, as far as I know, it is not possible in Huaxia, you can only seek help from Hollywood, and in Hollywood, to do this, the special effects cost of the movie needs at least 40 million US dollars." According to your requirements, your budget can't do anything but special effects. ”

At this time, Liu Yifei finally saw the sketch through Harvey's hand.

Giant mechs resembling Optimus Prime fight monsters of the same size in a rough ocean. Thinking of the $50 million Harvey just said, his heart couldn't help but skip a beat, and his eyes were firmly fixed on Sun Yi.

She didn't expect her brother to play so big this time.

Sun Yi took a sip of tea, smiled, and did not explain the special effects to Harvey, but introduced the origin of the plan in detail.

For people like Harvey, Sun Yi knows in his heart that if he doesn't see the rabbit and the eagle, and if he doesn't let him see the benefits, he will never end up, but at the same time, it is also practical enough, as long as it is profitable, everything can be discussed.

Just like this time, he took the initiative to come to Huaxia, and his thoughts are self-evident, just to get involved in his next movie.

According to common sense, just like business negotiations, Sun Yi should be reserved, and wait for Harvey to ask for the door in person, and he reluctantly accepts, so that he can grasp the biggest initiative, but to be honest, it doesn't make sense.

Harvey's uninvited arrival says a lot.

If you don't see through it, everyone eats this bowl of rice, and the fox of the same village is not talking about fasting.

In the future, there will be long-term cooperation, and Hollywood still needs his dots, and it is the best choice to directly lay out the carriage and horses, and pursue the maximization of interests.

"Mr. Harvey, according to my plan, this film needs a large deep-water soundstage, and there will be several mechs to match the mechanical cockpit, including the city model. Oh, and by the way, there's the latest 3D equipment, which would cost at least $100 million if it were all shot in Hollywood. ”

"But if in China, the cost will be greatly reduced, and we have ready-made studios in the starry sky, as long as we buy wave-making equipment and underwater shooting equipment." Sun Yi said and subconsciously glanced at Han Sanping.

Han Sanping's eyes narrowed, and he said in his heart.

Good boy, this is ready for a long time, you didn't say you wanted to play this big.

Sun Yi didn't have the time to guess Han Sanping's thoughts, but continued: "The mechanical cockpit, with the current industrial strength of Huaxia, this is still no problem, and the cost is estimated to be less than one-tenth of the equivalent standard in the United States." ”

This kind of mechanical cockpit is not a high-tech technology, it is hydraulic and transmission, and it does not require any durability, as long as it can ensure safety, then there is no problem at all. The only difficulty lies in customization, so the cost remains high, and in Huaxia, any provincial machining enterprise can be made.

"As for the city model, we don't have Hollywood's 3D molding technology, but we have a myriad of skilled prop makers, and we have plenty of time to do it little by little."

In fact, the three-dimensional molding technology is not 3D printing in later generations, but through computers, infrared lasers and other auxiliary equipment to help prop artists build models, compared with traditional model building, its advantage is that it can be changed at any time, after all, many directors also have to preview the specific effect before they can make a decision.

But Sun Yi is different, he directly has the effect he wants, so it is more convenient to build with traditional props.

"The last 3D shooting equipment, then I really have to rent."

Speaking of this, Sun Yi smiled bitterly, this is a hard injury, and it can't be bypassed.

At present, 3D shooting equipment is the latest technology, and the only equipment in the world is in the truck driver's "Avatar" crew. However, judging from the current time, the filming of "Avatar" is nearing completion, and it is estimated that the post-production of the film is being processed.

Sun Yi's movie will definitely not be filmed in a short period of time, and the studio has not yet been completed, so he is not in a hurry, this movie, he has been psychologically prepared, with the current technical level and personnel quality of Huaxia, even if he is familiar with it, the shooting cycle will be at least one year or more.

Even he had to figure out how to shoot a 3D movie, let alone anyone else.

"Sun, I agree with what you said, but you didn't answer my question, special effects, what about special effects, I don't know the specific cost of Huaxia, but I know in Hollywood."

"The equipment of the deep-water studio costs at least $10 million, and there are other things including motion capture and digital shooting equipment, which also cost about $10 million, and the latest 3D shooting equipment, even if it is rented, it will cost at least $1 million a year, and your mechanical equipment, even if it is pure iron, will cost about $5 million. You have $20 million left in your budget, what about the special effects, what about the personnel? ”

Sun Yi nodded with a smile and waved his hand to signal Harvey to calm down, but his next sentence directly shocked everyone present.

"I'm ready to buy the digital space."
