Chapter 144: The Animal World

Zhang Yuanjun didn't go to see the house the next day, but went to the China Film Hualong Digital Base.

"Fame" is still editing, and he didn't enter China Film Hualong so soon, he came here for other things.

Zhang Yuanjun is now a celebrity, and he can directly meet the company's technical director when he comes to China Film Hualong.

"You're a celebrity now, why do you have time to come to me." Wang Jianxiong poured a cup of hot water for Zhang Yuanjun.

"I'm pulling an order for you." Zhang Yuanjun opened the bag with a smile.

"I will definitely do business if there is business," Wang Jianxiong sat down next to Zhang Yuanjun and took a sip of hot tea, "I watched the rough cut of your "Rise to Fame", it looks like that, I will definitely do it for you." ”

"I'm not talking about 'Rise to Fame', I have something new here." As he spoke, he took out a wad of paper from his bag, "I don't know how to draw, so I'll ask our school art to draw it, so let's make do with it." ”

The paper is drawn with a shot of a clown fighting a monster.

Not much, just a dozen or so.

In conjunction with the painting, Zhang Yuanjun told Wang Jianxiong his story and needs: "...... Can you do this kind of transformation shot? I want the texture of the Han River monster. ”

Wang Jianxiong went through the shots described by Zhang Yuanjun in his mind: "We have no problem with animation, but we are a little troublesome to do this transformation special effect, we can't meet your requirements for the texture of monster skin, our software has not been updated for several years, and there are not enough manpower." ”

He really wanted to eat Zhang Yuanjun's order, but from the perspective of technology, Hualong Digital really couldn't do what Zhang Yuanjun wanted.

Wang Jianxiong suggested: "Look for Weta Digital and Sony Images, they can do it." ”

"I want to, too, but I don't have the budget for it."

Wang Jianxiong gave him an idea: "If you want to save money, you can find Hong Kong Island and Korean companies, and their quotations will be lower." ”

But Zhang Yuanjun still gave Wang Jianxiong a verbal promise that he would hand over this part of the animation to Hualong Digital, and CG and visual effects could only be done by another company.

"After talking about it for a long time, what is your film called?" Wang Jianxiong and Zhang Yuanjun talked in the office for more than an hour, and only remembered to ask the title of the film before sending Zhang Yuanjun out.

"Animal World." Zhang Yuanjun said with a smile.

"What a name." Wang Jianxiong thought of the storyline that Zhang Yuanjun told him, "The weak eat the strong, naked struggle." Very apt name. Is there a script? ”

"Still doing it." Special effects are time-consuming and labor-intensive, and it is generally necessary to organize a team to do it during the preparation period.

After sending Zhang Yuanjun out, Wang Jianxiong decided to go to Han Sanping to cry poor, and next year the group must change his equipment and update the software, and recruit more people, so that he can no longer lose orders sent to the door like today.

Zhang Yuanjun asked Xiao Zhao to take people to Japan before, that is, to buy the film and television adaptation rights of "Animal World".

The special effects of "Animal World" are more troublesome, the preparation period will be very long, and the screenwriting team has just been formed, and several screenwriters are still reading pirated comics translated by the subtitle group on the Internet to understand the plot, and they have not started writing yet.

Several artists are also reading comics, and it is planned that the screenwriting team will officially start construction around New Year's Day, and the art team will follow up on the conceptual design.

During the preparation period, the studio is still doing money, because the studio has no record and can't attract much investment.

"Take your time, when "Rise to Fame" is released next summer, we will really become famous, and there will be no shortage of investment at that time." Zhang Yuanjun comforted his studio colleagues like this, "I didn't even go to the house for this movie, and I didn't say anything in the dormitory." ”

Boss Zhang then began to draw cakes: "When "Rise to Fame" is released next year, we will become popular, and I will give you red envelopes." ”

Now that the film and television industry is booming, everyone can really eat the cakes painted by Zhang Yuanjun, and they all believe that the future development of the studio will be better and they can make money.

…………

This year's Chinese New Year stalls are very lively.

Jin Chengwu and Zhou Xun's "If Love" was released on the 1st, unveiling the curtain of the Chinese New Year.

The much-anticipated "Boundless" will be released on the 15th!

The next week, Zhang Yimou's "A Thousand Miles to Ride Alone" for his idol Ken Takakura and Hong Kong Island's fantasy special effects blockbuster "The Great Sage of Love" landed in theaters on the same day.

The latter gathered a number of big names such as Nicholas Tse, Cai Zhuoyan, Fan Bingbing, etc., and director Liu Zhenwei re-worked the familiar theme of Journey to the West, which made the audience look forward to this film.

In January and February of the past year, there were blockbusters such as "King Kong", "Huo Yuanjia" and "Hancheng Raiders".

When the media made a preview in the past few days, they typed the headline "Gunsmoke is thick".

Zhang Yuanjun accepted the invitation and confirmed to participate in the world premiere of "Wuji" on the 12th of this month.

But Zhang Yuanjun, as a guest, was not invited to walk the red carpet of the premiere, which was left to the main creator of the crew.

Zhang Yuanjun is also happy to do this, the capital is so cold in winter, he is not willing to change into a thin suit to walk the red carpet.

Just as Zhang Yuanjun was still picking out the warm down jacket he wore that day, Xiao Zhao made a phone call to tell him that the itinerary of "Wuji" had been changed.

The invited guests will also walk the red carpet, and the crew will create the finale.

"Change whatever you say."

"The filmmaker spent 20 million yuan to hold this premiere ......"

"How much?!" Zhang Yuanjun was surprised to hear this number.

"20 million."

"20 million for such a premiere?"

"That's right."

"What a loser, this gives me the ability to take the special effects of Animal World to the next level."

Xiao Zhao continued: "20 million can't be spent in vain, people invited more than a dozen celebrity guests to help, and the premiere was like a film festival." ”

Zhang Yuanjun didn't want to go for a while, but the assistant told him: "If you don't go, you can't go, the guest list has been sent to the media, and we still have interview activities." ”

As a new popular student, Zhang Yuanjun has a lot of invitations at the end of the year, and "Wuji" is really hard to push.

Chen Kaige is still a famous director in the industry, his golden body is stable, and Zhang Yuanjun was invited to participate in the premiere of the first blockbuster, and this face still has to be given.

"Okay, okay, I'll go." Zhang Yuanjun agreed, "Who was there that day?" ”

Li Yuchun, Yuan Quan, Xia Yu...... There are more than a dozen, all of them big names. We also know a few people. That's right, the entertainment industry is still a circle after all, social interaction is essential, and it is always good to know more people.

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yuanjun didn't pick out clothes, but went to the gym.

In order to play Li Jiahui, he gained weight, and now he wants to lose it.

The preparation of "Animal World" was followed by studio colleagues, and he didn't need to worry too much.

Losing weight in winter is a painful thing, but what season is it not painful to lose weight?

Zhang Yuanjun trained until 8 o'clock in the evening, and then walked back after eating something.

As soon as his butt touched the stool, he received a call from Mai Tian: "The first batch of records has been made, and I have left you a hundred copies to give away." ”

Zhang Yuanjun said: "That's okay, you can send it to my studio tomorrow." Hey, is it being shipped these days? ”

"Yes, the first batch will be released in the past two days, and it will be officially launched next week, so you have to leave time to run and publicize."

"No problem, I'll leave it to you for two weeks." After all, it is his first album, even if he plays again, Zhang Yuanjun has to pay attention to it.
