my crew is not human

Chapter 18 Negotiations

When he was teaching himself how to direct, Li Xianyun learned to draw some storyboards even if he had nothing to do.

Because of negotiations, Li Xianyun rushed to work on a few more articles, sorted them out and handed them to everyone.

Professionals would definitely be able to see a bunch of problems in this storyboard, but Wu Bao and Liu Qingzhi are not professionals.

The best way to cheat these days is not a liar cheating a fool, but an insider cheating an outsider.

Wu Bao and Liu Qingzhi are certainly not fools, but they are laymen!
No matter how smart a layman is, he is a fool in front of an expert!
Pointing to the storyboard, Li Xianyun was flickering, what camera placement, what lens to use, can create a beautiful effect, Shannanhaibei is a nonsense, let alone Wu Bao and Liu Qingzhi, even Ren Zhi I was dizzy.

Haven't seen you blow like this before?
Cooperating with you, you can fool me better than me!

But Li Xianyun is different from him.

What Ren Zhi is fooling around is money, but what Li Xianyun is fooling is power—Li Xianyun doesn't want to make unconscionable money, but he attaches great importance to power.

Because there is no authority, if the people below want to be demons, you can't control them, and his investment will really be lost.

Ren Zhi, the only one who can expose Li Xianyun's "true face", can't dismantle him, so Li Xianyun would say "ask Ren Zhi if you don't believe me" from time to time, and Ren Zhi could only nod with a smile on his face.

It means "my brother and I are the only directors in the world".

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

The three of them turned their heads and saw the image of a female ghost in the mirror. What was even more frightening was that half of the female ghost's head appeared to look at them. It was so real that it almost touched their faces, but Everyone was taken aback.

With a wave of Li Xianyun's hand, 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 principles of interference and diffraction to record and reproduce real three-dimensional images of objects. It can not only produce three-dimensional aerial phantoms, but also allow phantoms to interact with performers.

AR is an augmented reality technology, a new technology that "seamlessly" integrates real world information and virtual world information. Taste, touch, etc.), through computer and other science and technology, simulate and then superimpose, apply virtual information to the real world, and be 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 visualization environment generated by merging the real and virtual worlds.Physical and digital objects coexist and interact in real time in a new visual environment.

The most popular company in the MR field is Magic Leap, which received a total investment of US$14 billion by releasing a few video images, but it was later proved to be fraudulent.

These are all from searching. In fact, Li Xianyun only has a half-knowledge of what's going on.

But this doesn't affect his bragging - anyway, everyone doesn't understand it, so he uses a bunch of professional terms to fool him!

At this moment, he said directly: "I have a cooperation with a company. They are researching this brand-new technology, which can produce projections suitable for movie shooting. Even if it is more than 3000 million theater movies, there will be no such level. technology."

He had already forgotten that he made the lie before, but now the lie is obviously more reliable.

Wu Bao and the others have only heard of these terms, and they don't understand the actual situation at all. At this moment, they will listen to what Li Xianyun brags.

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

Science is being mythical at this moment, and Wu Baoliu Qingzhi can only admire it.

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

With just two ghosts and insufficient investment in other aspects, this is still a bad movie. The so-called ghost special effects are realistic enough, and at best they become the highlight of it.

If you really want to judge such a finished film, it is equivalent to spending tens of millions to make some special effects, and the cost of other aspects is only a few million. , all in vain.

A producer with a real brain would never do this.

But who told Li Xianyun not to spend money.

Liu Qingzhi was puzzled: "Why is such a good technology not used in big productions?"

"Because I want to be a director, a big production with high cost, I will not choose to take this risk." Li Xianyun replied.

Wu Bao and Liu Qingzhi also realized that the director Li Xianyun was equivalent to exchanging his own special resources, and the value of this special resources was obviously more than 200 million.

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

Resource capital!

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

"Yes." Li Xianyun replied with certainty.

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

Damn, at this time, do you know how to consider the quality of the finished film?
What are you doing early?

Li Xianyun smiled and said: "The main selling point of this film is the secret room and the ghost. You have already seen the ghost, now let you see the secret room."

He waved his hand as he spoke, and the three of them noticed that the sofa under their feet was actually moving.

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

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

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

Li Xianyun didn't intend to reveal too much, so he snapped his fingers to call the attention of the three of them back.

He said: "My plan is like this. This is a horror film, where ghosts harm people, but in order to deal with ghosts, people build trap houses and use traps to deal with ghosts. This story is not available in the market, and the plot is novel. In terms of graphics, traps are the selling point, and so are ghosts. With our holographic projection technology, we can realize many shots that could not be realized in previous movies. The trap shots you see now are just the simplest part, and I will make some special ones at that time. The real top-level lens. This film may be weak in other aspects due to cost reasons, but it will definitely shine in the core point! You also know that there are often some classic scenes replayed in short videos now. Sometimes we only need to shoot some classic shots, and after dissemination, we can bring a wave of traffic.”

Hearing this, the two finally moved their hearts.

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

Because it really works!
Many bad movies will actually spend a lot of money to make some exciting titles and sideshows, the purpose is to catch the audience's attention.It's just that someone as extreme as Li Xianyun is relatively rare.

网大因为第7分钟进入收费阶段，所以必须在免费阶段把观众引到第7分钟。所以别人家的网大可能是前6分钟300万投资，后面八10分钟400万投资。

Your film is equivalent to an investment of 6 million in the first 800 minutes, and an investment of 10 million in the next 100 minutes.

The difference is outrageous!

But at least you can cheat!
The essence of movies is to lie.

Conscientious deceiving audiences, unconscionable deceiving investors!

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

Wu Bao thought for a while 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 you are, it will be useless.

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

Li Xianyun didn't bother to explain to him, and replied directly: "No less than 10 minutes."

Li Xianyun can definitely make more shots, but the cost of such a theory is too high to cover up, and many professionals will be surprised. It costs tens of millions, how can it be done with 400 million?

Wu Bao was still not satisfied: "10 minutes is a bit short."

Damn, how long is a movie?

Talking to laymen is also tiring.

Li Xianyun smiled: "I try to add as much as possible, 10 minutes is guaranteed, and this part can be stipulated in the contract. As for the cost, I suggest you ask a knowledgeable person. If you can do it at a lower cost If such a picture comes out, then I congratulate you."

Immediately, Wu Bao had a phone call with Liu Qingzhi.

After proving it for about two hours, the two investors finally confirmed that this level of special effects is indeed valuable. Combined with the mechanical house, it is definitely enough to convert 200 million.

Although they couldn't figure out why Li Xianyun didn't use this technology to directly cooperate with major film and television companies, but if he didn't want to, that was an opportunity.

Of course, super value is super value, and the price still needs to be discussed.

The other party asks for a lot of money and pays back the money by himself.

Li Xianyun's biggest problem is that he only has the special effects of two ghosts and a trick house, and he can't come up with other things.

This makes the special effects high-grade, but it is like Lord of the Rings' Ring Spirit with a normal net size. It is too wasteful of resources, and some concessions are bound to be made.

After negotiations, the final price was 300 million yuan. Li Xianyun used the mechanism house, ghost special effects, 30 cash, four job identities, a script and the villa site. The total price was 150 million yuan, accounting for 50.00% of the shares.

Ren Zhi gave up his shares, because he only had 70 in his hand, and Li Xianyun also lent him 30 to repay the debt, which was considered completely out of the game.The only advantage is probably to settle a troublesome matter.

But his title of producer will be retained, and Ren Zhi is still needed to rebuild the team.

The agreement was reached.

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