The southeast corner of Huairou Film and Television Base.

The two studios of Star Imaging are next to the China Film Digital Production Base, covering an area of nearly 10,000 square meters, which is about one-sixth the size of China Film Digital Production Base.

The overall framework of the two studios has been built, one large and one small next to each other, just like a large factory building, and a small half of the whole site has not been used.

At this moment, there are still some construction machinery parked in the small square outside the studio, and there are neatly stacked decoration materials covered with tarpaulins next to it, and forklifts are constantly entering and exiting along the door of the studio, apparently dealing with the interior decoration.

The construction party is directly introduced by China Film, and it is also the contractor of China Film Digital Production Base, and it is very experienced in the construction of studios and film and television bases.

The person in charge of the construction at the site gave Sun Yi and each of them a hard hat and a mask, and then began to lead the way in front, introducing them as they walked.

"Dong Han, Mr. Sun, your project, we have undertaken it for two months, and we have completed all the main construction in accordance with the requirements, quality and quantity, and are now dealing with the interior decoration."

"Two months? Oh my God. Harvey exclaimed in disbelief as he heard the interpreter finish speaking to him.

Speaking of which, this speed is still thanks to China Film, in fact, this land is the second phase of the expansion site reserved by the people themselves, the land is leveled, the road planning has been done, the original plan is to build a props production center and equipment warehouse, catch up with Sun Yi persuaded Han Sanping with the righteousness of industrialization, this land is so cheap starry sky.

Of course, it's definitely not all, except for this piece, there are still 20,000 yuan in the second phase of China Film.

Otherwise, Zhongying is a good big brother.

Everyone followed the footsteps of the person in charge of construction and walked into the factory.

"This is the planned No. 1 studio, covering a total area of 4,000 square meters."

Sun Yi wore a little white hat, and he didn't care about the smoke and dust of the scene, looking around, the whole studio was rectangular, like a large garage with a whole body, all steel structure, one side is a separated functional room, which can be used as an equipment room, office, lounge waiting place after completion, and the other side is a steel structure corridor with the second floor, which can facilitate the erection of machines and lamps in different positions, and there are criss-cross guide rails overhead.

"Oh my God, this, this is too big, there's no such big soundstage in all of Hollywood." Harvey let out another exclamation.

Not to mention Hollywood, the whole United States is not so big, counting, if the studio of the starry sky is completed, it can be ranked among the top five in the world, of course, only compared to the studio area.

Sun Yi pointed to the guide rail above his head and introduced to Harvey: "Mr. Harvey, this is our latest design in China, inspired by the segmented construction method of shipbuilding enterprises, the whole studio is all modular, these guide rails can be divided into up to 7 small studios of different areas after adding the separation wall, so as to cope with different scene shooting." ”

Harvey thought for a moment.

Small crews can use small modules, and large scenes can be reopened for overall shooting, rational use of resources, basically can meet all the interior scenes, and most of the exterior construction, greatly improving the shooting efficiency.

"What a genius idea."

Everyone continued to walk, and at the end of Studio 1, a wall had been raised with a guide rail, and Sun Yi introduced again:

"In front of me is the largest deep-water studio in Asia that I prepared for this film, covering an area of 1,000 square meters and the size of two basketball courts."

The crowd walked down the passageway. I saw that a huge cistern had been built, with a square surface and an irregular shape at the bottom, and several different pools were also separated, some were wave-making, some were with glass curtain walls to shoot underwater, and so on. There are also device interfaces reserved around the perimeter.

At this moment, the pool did not start to store water, the workers were wearing masks to do the painting operation on the bottom of the pool, what it was, Sun Yi didn't know, he guessed that it should be something like a waterproof coating, anyway, even if he was wearing a mask, he could smell the chemical smell of the scene, everyone was choked, and after a brief look, he left quickly.

This is also the reason why Sun Yi didn't let Liu Yifei come with him today, because of this, Xiao Nizi complained a lot on the phone in the morning.

Xiao Nizi didn't even threaten to be coquettish, but Sun Yi didn't agree.

It is said here that the sky is also a construction site, smoke, dust, harmful gases, he doesn't care if he is a man, as for the fairy sister, it is better not to come to this kind of place, after the completion of the construction, she wants to come, he has no objection to living here for ten days and a half months.

Everyone walked through the passage to the next studio, which was obviously much cleaner, but it still didn't smell very good.

"This is Studio 2, which is also the digital studio we planned, covering an area of 1,500 square meters."

Studio No. 2 is similar to Studio No. 1 as a whole, but the specific decoration is very different, and it is obviously a grade higher.

The workers are laying anti-static floors, the surrounding walls are also covered with anti-static coatings, the ceiling has a lot fewer guide rails than the No. 1 studio, and the ceiling and central air conditioning are also being installed.

Harvey looked around, and basically didn't say anything other than "my god".

He was an eye-opener today, he really didn't expect Sun Yi to have such ambitions, a studio of this size can be compared with the six major Hollywood ones.

As long as the latest equipment is added, it can be said that it is the most advanced studio in the world.

At this moment, he also has a bottom in his heart.

After a visit, he sent Harvey back to the hotel for lunch, and Sun Yi didn't mention the investment again, he knew that he needed to give the old boy a little time to make a final decision.

Before leaving, Han Dong called Sun Yi into his car, sent the driver away, and then opened the window a crack.

Sun Yi saw that Han Sanping specially supported the driver, knowing that Han Dong must have something important to tell him, his expression was also grim, and asked:

"Leader, what do you have to advise?"

"I can't talk about advice, I have something in my heart that I want to say to you." Han Sanping waved his hand with a smile, and then handed Sun Yi a cigarette.

Sun Yi took it, took out the lighter and lit it for Han Dong first, and then himself.

Han Sanping took a deep breath, and then said to Sun Yi with a solemn face: "Sun Yi, I think that at the beginning, I tried my best to promote the reform of the film market, and invested a large amount of limited funds in commercial films, and many old comrades were dissatisfied, saying that I had stained film art with copper stench, and even scolded me for being a thief. ”

"But it turns out that you are right, you have contributed a lot to the prosperity of the Chinese film market today, and besides, if you don't promote the commercialization of Chinese films, how can you resist the invasion of Hollywood. The vast majority of the audience votes with their feet, they only care whether the movie is good or not, and they don't care what lofty art you talk about. ”

"Yes, this journey has been like walking on thin ice." Han Sanping chuckled, flicked the cigarette ash along the crack of the window, and then continued: "Don't mention this, I support the film industrialization you mentioned before, this is a deeper stage of film commercialization, and we will all have to come to this point sooner or later." ”

Speaking of this, Han Sanping stopped, turned his head and looked at Sun Yi with burning eyes, "I am not talking to you as the chairman of China Film Group now, but an old-timer in the film industry. ”

"Sun Yi, you have to think about it, the road of film industrialization is not easy to take, there is no turning back when you open the bow, China Film is large, and it is the identity of a state-owned enterprise, many things are not as convenient as your private enterprises, and if you want to promote film industrialization, you can only explore it a little by yourself."

"Your private enterprises have advantages in this regard, and I can see that you are ready to use Harvey's relationship to make a secret display in Hollywood and directly learn from your skills. But you have to know that this step is also very risky. ”

"About this movie, I agree with some of Harvey's views, it is difficult to shoot 50 million US dollars, don't forget that there are also publicity costs, you haven't counted it, and such a large investment, it is obviously impossible to recover the cost in Huaxia, you can only rely on the overseas market, and the overseas market is the most uncontrollable, once it fails, all your early efforts will be in vain."

"When the time comes, Zhongying will have no reason to save you."

Sun Yi looked at Han Sanping's eyes, a little cloudy and bloodshot, but they were extremely profound, although the words were very serious, he still felt the power of this old man.

In fact, this movie, he is ready not to make money, the original time and space, the film invested nearly 180 million US dollars, and the global box office revenue was 410 million US dollars, to be honest, this box office revenue was a failure, and the cost was not recovered.

Even if he takes advantage of the low prices in Huaxia, the investment of 50 million US dollars is overstretched, and if you count the cost of Starry Sky to acquire the digital field, the money will be spent.

But this money can't be spent without spending it, and it's not a movie at all, but a make-up fee owed by Huaxia Films.

But as long as the filming of this film is completed, the team is trained in actual combat, talents are cultivated, and technology is developed, he believes that the filmmaking level of the entire starry sky will get a qualitative leap.

And this movie is not "Red Cliff" or anything like that, what is left after filming is the salary income of the director and a group of celebrities, a few broken scenes, a bunch of sloppy props, a pony called Mengmeng, and there is nothing left.

Even if Sun Yi's sci-fi movie fails at the box office, all kinds of the latest equipment, studios, talents, technology, and special effects that can be left behind are real.

There is no way to estimate these things in terms of money.

With these, the entire starry sky can be said to have practiced Jiuyang Divine Skills, and since then, any martial arts have been ten times faster than others, and they can completely break into the rivers and lakes independently, and they are no longer afraid of the six major factions of Hollywood.

Thinking of this, Sun Yi took a deep breath of his cigarette, smiled lightly, and then said to Han Sanping: "Third master, look at what you said, I'm still young, what can I do if I lose, if I lose once, I will do it again, as long as I don't forget my original intention, I will succeed sooner or later." ”

"Don't forget the original intention. Hahaha, good, good one doesn't forget the original intention. ”

Han Sanping was relieved, waved his hand at Sun Yi, and said heroically:

"Remember what you said, I'll give you a bottom today, China Film will invest 100 million in you to shoot, it's not that you can't shoot more, but there are too many eye-catching, and I will allow you another 100 million to do domestic publicity, not enough to add more, and there is no cap."

"Third master, don't worry, I will definitely give you a good fight."

Han Sanping's words gave Sun Yi a lot of confidence, generally speaking, the publicity and distribution costs are included in the proportion of film and television investment, but Han Dong deliberately emphasized that he would use 100 million yuan for domestic publicity, which could not be clearer.

That is, China Film Group will use the identity of the distributor to invest 100 million yuan in the promotion of the film, not the investor, that is, it does not account for the proportion of investment.

Properly help the horse and give it a ride.
