my crew is not human

Chapter 511 Kung Fu Panda

"Well, yes. Baike's idea is very good. I think it's a way of thinking. There are also many singers in Huaguo who want to become stars in film and television, but their acting skills are a big problem. Our AI face-changing technology can solve this problem. You can tell Lao Mo that this may be a breakthrough for him in the music world."

On the phone, Li Xianyun spoke to Tang Lei.

Tang Lei was puzzled: "But the AI ​​face change is just a face change. The singer still needs to perform, and it is performed against the air, isn't it?"

"No, no, you didn't understand. The difference is too big. Without AI face-changing technology, actors have to perform live, which requires a lot of their acting skills. But with face-changing technology, it doesn't matter. We can To shoot them, their emotions, just capture these expressions and put them on through face-changing technology. The performance in life is the most real, but filming cannot be replaced, and we can!" Li Xianyun explained: "Just invite all the singers over, make a random variety show, make them cry or laugh, and the same emotional substitution can be solved. Just do a good job of dubbing."

"What about the mouth shape?"

"The mouth shape is a problem, so capture more. Then design lines according to their mouth shape."

Tang Lei was stunned: "I have never heard of such a filming method."

Li Xianyun was happy: "The reason why Yisheng Media can succeed is because we never take the usual path."

"Okay then, I'll go tell Lao Mo...thank you," Tang Lei said.

Tang Lei knew that Li Xianyun deliberately told him first, so that he could tell Mo Rui with his own ideas, so as to bridge the gap between them.

Bosses generally don't intentionally bring their subordinates too close. They always hope that their subordinates will keep a certain distance, avoid conflicts, and avoid getting too close.

Li Xianyun's doing so is also a great trust in him.

As a result, Tang Lei has a third variety show direction: not to make money, but to mobilize the emotions of the stars.

After explaining to Tang Lei, Li Xianyun stayed in the United States for about a month.

First of all, a series of film and television cooperation under Yisheng Media, including Pet Agents, will be handed over to Baike for distribution, but this time Baike will no longer buy out the system, but will give a high share.

To put it bluntly, they are willing to give up this part of the profit for the sake of a greater plan later-after all, it can't be considered giving up, it's just a matter of earning more and earning less.

Then Li Xianyun discussed the framework with the screenwriter hired by Baike—he said that he used the culture and thinking of American people as the main framework, but with old problems, how could he, as the boss, not intervene?
Fortunately, screenwriters in any country are used to investors waving their hands.

Compared with other investors who don't know shit, Li Xianyun is a screenwriter, at least he knows more.

Of course, the more you know, the more you ask, which is actually more troublesome.

The two parties discussed the framework of the script very much, and finally settled on an adventure story.

Five actors enter a magical animal world, where the animals can speak human, and there are also human beings, like a fairy tale kingdom.

It's a bit like "Jumanji: Battle in the Jungle".

The reason why such a framework is determined is because of the versatility of the script.

If the story takes place in the United States, it will be incompatible when replaced by Chinese actors.Many normal stories about Americans would appear abnormal if they happened to Chinese.

But adventure stories are fine.

People from all walks of life from all over the world gathered together, and because of a coincidence, they came to a world like a fairy tale kingdom. Americans can enter, and Chinese people can also enter.The background can be highly overlapped, at most, when introducing the experiences of the actors, a little more filming is required-or how to say, the blockbuster must have a simple plot?The simpler, the more versatile!

Several replaced actors have their own stories, that's all, there is very little content that needs to be re-shot.

Some even replaced Asians with Asians.

For example, in the American version, in addition to the two leading actors, there will also be blacks, Asians and Jews.

So for the Huaguo version, the two leading actors are not changed, just replace the black and the Jewish, and the common Asian is a kung fu boy.

Perfect replacement!

The panda will be the greatest helper for humans, helping them pass the level and defeat any animal boss or human boss, but everyone agreed that the best is the human boss.

This would please animal protection groups, preaching that humans are evil and everything else is good.

But the name cannot be called Kung Fu Panda.

Panda itself has no copyright issues, but Kung Fu Panda has ready-made cartoons, so the name must have copyright issues.

Therefore, the final discussion is tentatively named: Land of Taoyuan.

The purpose of this naming is to make a big background, which can be used for series in the future.

You can even publish books and animations.

The behind-the-scenes background of the Land of Peach Blossoms was produced in a form that can be understood by Western culture. After completion, Yisheng Media will make modifications to try to achieve mutual acceptance by both parties.

There have also been some changes in terms of splits.

The tentative total investment is 1 million yuan, which is about [-] million Chinese coins, to produce the highest single film in history for Yisheng Media.

But in reality, it is impossible to pay that much money.

Li Xianyun listed the animal performance as a huge expense list, and Baike Company also recognized that their technology should indeed be counted as money, as long as it can achieve results.

Baike Company will pay for the two leading actors, plus the overseas publicity in the United States and other regions and the corresponding 500% of the fee, which is 30.00 million yuan, and it will get 20.00% of the income in the United States. Give up the box office revenue of Huaguo, and other overseas regions will get [-]% of the income.

In terms of copyright, Yisheng Media owns 80.00% of the copyright, Baike owns 20.00%, and all peripheral development is based on a year-on-year income. Part of Yisheng Media in Huaguo is exclusively owned by Yisheng Media. The United States and other overseas regions are also responsible for Baike, but the development cost of this part is also discounted .

In addition, Baike insisted that the director should also be an American, and Yisheng Media would be responsible for the expenses.The reason for this is a cultural issue. Directors from different countries have different styles. Since it is a film that is partial to American culture, it is best for American directors to be in charge.

But the theme song and the soundtrack are exclusive to Baike—they have to sign a contract with Alan Walker, and get people and songs at a relatively low price, and Alan Walker's songs are a big source of income.

Li Xianyun accepted, you have to give someone a huge profit point, and besides, this kind of relationship is indeed his own ability.

Whoever's resources are shared by others, if you are awesome and can do it, you will get the most of it.

Li Xianyun made a rough estimate. According to such conditions, Yisheng Media can pay a maximum of 8000 million Chinese coins.

This [-] million meter yuan is mainly for the venue, setting, art, etc. - to build a huge natural jungle world, and even build a palace if necessary.

If it is calculated by cheating investors, then this will be the most ruthless cheating of investors in history, and it is still an expert in cheating.

But on the other hand, it really can't be regarded as a pit.

According to Baike's plan, there will be a large number of animals in it, and each animal will have detailed requirements, in addition to related magical special effects that show imagination.

Are you awesome?

Didn't you say that only you can't think of it, and you can't do it without me?

They even dared to imagine the scenes of wolves sitting around playing cards, sows climbing trees, and pandas flying into the sky.

Li Xianyun is so awesome, so he has to humbly express that this is really impossible: the laws of nature still have to be talked about, chickens can’t eat eagles, let the tigers and lions stand in a row and sing K, and the wolves applaud. It's already the limit.

Sow climbing a tree depends on explosive power.

Drinking and punching can be tried, but panda flying is really not good.
