To sum up, it is clear that the importance of special effects companies should gradually rise in global entertainment, but the rising environment in China in terms of special effects has been blocked in various ways.

"I have several friends who are working on special effects, and their skills can be very fine, but the time period given by the client is often difficult to complete if they work overtime."

Speaking of this, Brother Qin's face showed a little helplessness, obviously listening to his friends' complaints:

"The work that can only be completed in a year and a half has been compressed to three months or even two months, and it is impossible not to accept it, the domestic film industry pays attention to a fast, all movies are like this, if you don't take it, you won't have anything to eat."

"There is no time to pursue details, and the effect is certainly not as fine as a little bit of fineness, but even if it is completed on time, Party A may default on the final payment."

To sum up: "The establishment of special effects companies requires a large amount of money to support equipment and labor, whether at home and abroad, before making fame, these companies are basically in a state of loss, and in China, even if they are famous, there are still many companies that are losing money." ”

This is similar to what Sheng Quan inquired before, she rarely paid attention to special effects companies in her previous life, but it should be similar when she thinks about it, after all, the entertainment industry in her previous life also paid attention to speed rather than quality.

Anyway, as long as you have the blessing of a star, as long as it is not particularly bad, you can get very good feedback.

This is very unfriendly to special effects companies that focus on quality and not speed, obviously have ten points of technology, but in order to survive, they can only play five points.

For them, who need a lot of equipment costs and labor costs, this negative cycle continues, unless there is a mine at home, otherwise the final outcome can only be declared bankruptcy.

Although Sheng Quan said that she was already mentally prepared for this, Brother Qin was still not very optimistic.

He doesn't pay much attention to entertainment news, and his daily routine is full, and his leisure time is either to call friends and family, read books, or eat and drink tea with colleagues.

In fact, he just turned 40 years old and doesn't even have a Weibo account.

Therefore, he didn't know Sheng Quan, when he was in his early twenties, he was full of confidence to make a world-renowned special effects company, but now he thinks that the domestic special effects industry can be called a money-eating desert.

Brother Qin has always been nosy, but seeing that this is his father's boss, and they obviously have a very good relationship, his father likes her very much, even if Sheng Quan has not been persuaded to quit after listening to him say so much, he still insists on admonishing:

"Unless you're particularly rich, I really don't recommend you to invest in this industry."

The old man Qin, who listened with relish next to him, took out his silver bank prompt text message:

"I haven't been too lazy to tell you when you asked me about my salary before, come, show you, my monthly salary is so much."

Brother Qin: "......"

Pulling back the phone, the old man said slowly:

"I asked you to come here these days because, some time ago, she went to country A and bought a manor there."

"Nine billion, RMB."

Brother Qin: "......"

Time seemed to stand still.

Three seconds later, he slowly took out his mobile phone and clicked into the address book: "Did you say before that I should recommend a few talents in this field?" ”

"I know a few friends...... You should all have the intention of changing jobs. ”

***

"Really? Is the basic salary really this number? The commission is so high? ”

Brother Qin's friends are not young anymore, they have families, and there are not a few who still pay off their mortgages, so it is naturally impossible to resign after listening to one or two phone calls.

The basic salary, commissions and benefits are not worried about cheating, they are worried that the company that maintains such a state will be like various special effects companies in China, leaving some amazing works, and finally falling silently.

Until a few people heard a name:

"Tan Hongguang of the mirage? What to do with him? ”

Brother Qin looked at the passionate "martial arts platform" in front of him:

"Because of the chairman of this new company, I hope that the position of general manager can be left to him."

Tan Hongguang's three words are not famous at the moment, and a hundred passers-by on the side of the road are randomly grabbed to ask if they know Tan Hongguang, and it would be good to have one or two people to answer.

But if you ask these passers-by about the popular special effects blockbusters "Red Carp" and "Stars Falling into the Sea" a few years ago, there will definitely be many people who say that they have seen it.

The gorgeous and exquisite special effects shown to the public by these works are made by Tan Hongguang's mirage, and the beautiful box office is strictly speaking, they have contributed a lot.

It's a pity that two years ago, on the one hand, "Stars Falling into the Sea" swept the box office, and on the other hand, there was a mirage of silent bankruptcy.

In fact, Sheng Quan has been thinking about opening a special effects company for a long time.

When it was a long time, she parked the car in front of the food stall where Yan went home.

It was also conceived during the filming of "The Cultivator".

When I received a business card from a well-known special effects company in country A, I was still thinking about it when I heard the other party smile and say, "You can find me for special effects in the future."

After getting Tan Hongguang's contact information, Sheng Quan smiled and raised the teacup in his hand to Brother Qin.

Otherwise, how to say that connections are very important, Sheng Quan looked for Tan Hongguang for so long and disappeared after the company went bankrupt, and Brother Qin only took two days to find it.

passed through his friends, his friends' old colleagues, old colleagues and classmates, and finally found Tan Hongguang's sister.

Just like the students in the Starlight Security, as long as they are doing this business, all kinds of gossip about this line of information are definitely the fastest.

Sheng Quan bets that about "what happened to Tan Hongguang", the special effects artists engaged in this industry are definitely curious.

And the answer is quite outrageous, he lived in seclusion.

Yes, in modern times, seclusion.

found a remote house in the mountains that no one lived in for a long time, and lived alone in it for two years, of course, it was not the kind of life of a savage, otherwise Sheng Quan would not have been able to contact him with so many people.

Of course, this is not very easy, it was written in the original text that Tan Hongguang was living in seclusion, but on which mountain was he living in seclusion? What is the phone number? Who is in the family, naturally there is no mention in these books.

"The difficulty of special effects companies is that the cost is high, and it is difficult to hit film and television works that are willing to let the special effects team slowly produce, even if the effect is good, there is a high probability that they will not be selected at speed."

The call with Tan Hongguang was not very long, and it could even be called short:

"However, Xingmang Entertainment already has a mature film and television production team, and it will continue to produce various works in the future, and whether or not to invite special effects for these works, and how long the time reserved for special effects is up to me."

This is what Sheng Quan did in the process of "ideating".

Replace "unsuitable" into "suitable".

She wasn't 100% sure the system would change the rules, but what did that mean? There is no big mistake in preparation, but a lot of preparation is still required before the straw boat can borrow arrows.

And now, it's time for the "east wind blows".

Tan Hongguang on the other end of the phone was rejected at first:

"This Sheng Dong, listening to your voice, you are still relatively young, although you own a company, but the special effects company is different from ordinary companies, you should probably take a closer look at this industry first."

"I've already understood, but Mr. Tan, you may be able to get to know me before giving me an answer."

Hanging up the phone, Sheng Quan was aroused by his own words and had goosebumps: "It sounds like a pretend." ”

Then he was happy again: "But it's cool to pretend to be forced." ”

Jiang Lu next to him: "It's just the truth." ”

is indeed the truth, in one year, Sheng Quan's reputation in China is not low.

Tan Hongguang's sister and brother-in-law waited by the side expectantly, and when they saw that the eldest brother hung up the phone and groaned for a few seconds, they began to be anxious:

"Brother, what are you hesitating about, this is Sheng Quan."

"Sheng Quan......" Tan Hongguang, who has been off the network and power for two years and has not asked about the world, looked at his sister and brother-in-law: "Is she rich?" ”

Two years ago, he hadn't even heard of that name.

"It's not just money, it's like having a mine at home."

Sister Tan directly Baidu Shengquan and showed her brother the rows of rows.

[How many celebrities and billionaires have gathered at the starry dinner held by Shengquan]

[Spent 9 billion to photograph the young rich woman at Jones Manor in country A]

[The investor of "The Cultivator" is Sheng Quan]

[Spend 100 million on charity, what happened to you on the spot]

[The new owner of Huaxia Building, she is only 23 years old]

Tan Hongguang: "...... It seems that a lot has happened in the past two years. ”

He watched the news one by one, and finally settled on an interview.

It was an interview with the crew during the promotion after the release of "The Cultivator", generally speaking, this kind of interview with investors is not very good at appearing, but Sheng Quan, who can be regarded as a semi-public figure, is obviously not an ordinary investor.

On the screen, a young girl who is so beautiful under the lights that she can be a star replies with a smile:

"Yes, the special effects of "The Cultivator" are outsourced to foreign special effects companies, which is a very regrettable fact, and it is even more regrettable that many special effects artists in that well-known company are Chinese."

Obviously said regret, but her face was full of smiles:

"But I don't believe this situation will always exist, maybe in the future, we can also have a world-famous special effects company around us?"

Tan Hongguang can almost be called watching frame by frame, watching it many, many times over and over again.

Sister Tan is a good sister who is very worried about her brother, and her way of worrying is to say to her husband:

"It's over, is my brother crazy? Shall I take him to a psychiatric department? ”

Brother-in-law Tan can understand Tan Hongguang very well, because he also does this business, and even Tan Hongguang is his idol.

The mirage has been in existence for a total of seven years, and these seven years can be described as hard fighting.

Tan Hongguang still has white hair on both sideburns, just looking at his appearance, who would have thought that he is not yet forty years old this year, and it is too difficult for a special effects company that wants to make quality to make a profit, because there is no production team willing to pay for them at all.

Even if they're good.

The mirage can be supported because it has been outsourcing the special effects production of foreign films, and when "Stars Fall into the Sea" approached the company, it was called a sincere feeling, and at that time, the whole company pushed off all outsourcing and worked for more than half a year before the production was completed.

As a result, "Stars Falling into the Sea" was indeed a big hit, winning the box office, but the crew didn't mention a mirage when they were interviewed from all walks of life, and even shamelessly defaulted on the final payment.

It is indeed very common for domestic special effects companies to be owed the final payment, and the mirage has been encountered many times, but none of them are as cold as this time.

Everyone in the Mirage team can definitely be called "dreaming", otherwise they could have outsourced it directly, or directly joined a foreign special effects company like other peers.

But no matter how much dream there is, people also have to eat, and no matter how hot the heart is, it will be completely cold again and again.

When the mirage announces its dissolution, it is almost the same as declaring everyone's dream bankrupt.

But no one was angry, everyone just silently packed up their things and said goodbye one by one, for seven years, and in the end they still got nothing.

Loser, these three big characters are engraved in the hearts of all people.

And now, Sheng Quan, who can see that he is very rich just by watching the news, invited him, a loser, to serve as the general manager.
