Huayu since 1980

Chapter 543 Ruthless Wu Jianye

Yenching Film Academy!

"is this necessary?"

In Dean Shen's office, Dean Shen looked at Wu Jianye with some doubts. Just now Wu Jianye came to the academy to find him, and said that he would donate a batch of equipment to the academy to develop special effects for movies in the academy. If the research is just an ordinary donation, Dean Shen will naturally be very happy.

But when Dean Shen knew the price of this batch of equipment, he couldn't help looking at Wu Jianye. Without him, these equipment are too expensive. For Wu Jianye, a teaching assistant who rarely comes to the college, Shen Yuan The director still appreciates it very much. First of all, Wu Jianye's international popularity has greatly improved the influence of Yenching Film Academy itself.

At the same time, Wu Jianye has seen his contribution to the film academy. He has made a lot of donations to the academy before, and now he has to spend a large sum of money to buy the best special effects equipment in the world, so that all the filmmakers in the academy can How could he not appreciate such talents when students from major departments study.

At the same time, Dean Shen has other worries.

"If, as you said, the future production of the movie depends on these special effects, then does the movie lose its original authenticity?"

As an old-school filmmaker, Dean Shen is more pursuing the effect of live-action shooting, and he is a little worried about the kind of shooting Wu Jianye described.

Wu Jianye said: "This is an inevitable process of film development. Now our college has no way to open a special branch like this, so it should be no problem to open such an elective course, and you always don't want our country's Isn’t film technology so much behind the world’s advanced level?”

"Have you seen "Star Wars" in the United States? I think that in the future, film technology will definitely use various special effects techniques more and more frequently. If nothing else, it will be my next movie, which will be a sci-fi movie. We will use a lot of special effects technology, and if there are talents in this field in our academy, I will bring them to Hollywood to learn."

Dean Shen nodded. As the dean of the top film academy in China, although Dean Shen believes that live-action shooting is the best way to express movies, that is just his personal opinion, and he will not be distracted because of this idea. Denying Wu Jianye's suggestion, even he knew that such a thing was inevitable.

"Well, since you've said that, what else can I say!"

"It's better to lead you to look ahead!" Wu Jianye flattered him.

"Don't tell me these things, how is your TV series going?" After talking about the business, Dean Shen became concerned about the filming of "Legend of the New White Snake".

"The filming has been finished a long time ago, and now I'm doing post-production in Xiangjiang!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

"Well, how did I hear that your next movie is going to be shot in Hollywood? What kind of movie is it?" Dean Shen asked.

Wu Jianye nodded: "Well, it's a romance movie, and it will be launched in Hollywood in July and August this year!"

Dean Shen sighed: "You are really promising, and now you are going to Hollywood to make a movie!"

Wu Jianye said with a smile: "Going to Hollywood to make a film is not something to be proud of. When people in Hollywood will take pride in our China filming in the future, that will be something to be proud of!"

"Haha!" Dean Shen laughed loudly, "It's still you who speak loudly!"

After the two chatted for a while, Wu Jianye said: "Those equipment will be sent to the school before the next semester starts, and I will have to trouble you when the time comes!"

Wu Jianye just donated a batch of equipment, and the college needs to find such talents as the tutor of this course, and also has to coordinate the course time. It can be said that the work of the college will be very cumbersome.

Dean Shen waved his hand and said, "It's nothing serious, as you said, as long as it can improve our country's film technology level, it's good!"

After Wu Jianye came out of the Film Academy, he went directly to the Kunwu Film and Television Creation Studio.

"Aren't you in Xiangjiang?" Ma Wei asked in surprise after seeing Wu Jianye.

Wu Jianye said seriously: "I just came back today, I have some things to discuss with you!"

Seeing that Wu Jianye was so serious, Ma Wei said in surprise, "What is it, so serious?"

Wu Jianye then told Ma Weidu about his previous idea, and then said: ".I now need to re-establish a three thousand universe studio under the Kunwu Film and Television Creation Studio. I need some research on mythology in our country. At the same time, we also need a group of young people between the ages of 22 and 30 with certain writing skills!"

When both Ma Wei and Wang Shuo heard Wu Jianye's thoughts, they couldn't help being surprised. In the end, Wang Shuo said, "You want to turn writing into an industrialized creative model?"

Ma Wei couldn't help but said: "If this is the case, you still need a publishing house to publish the novels you mentioned!"

Wang Shuo muttered, "It's not easy to set up a publishing house!"

Wu Jianye thought for a while, and knew that what Wang Shuo said was reasonable. Even if Wu Jianye had a good relationship with the leaders of the Ministry of Culture, it would be impossible for him to undertake a private publishing house. The best way is to work with A certain publishing house cooperated, and Wu Jianye decided to cooperate with his alma mater.

According to national regulations, local and qualified colleges and universities are allowed to organize publishing houses.

Moreover, Wu Jianye has another way. Although the domestic publishing business is not easy to handle, Xiangjiang can. It was rejected, because the concept of 'Three Thousand Universes' cannot be completed overnight. Wu Jianye gave a ten-year plan.

That is to say, it is impossible to launch the movie version of the concept of "Three Thousand Universes" in this ten years. At most, it will be animation and TV series. It will take ten years to deeply implant this concept into the psychology of ordinary people, and then wait until the future After the film technology has reached a certain level, Wu Jianye can promote this project!

If "Three Thousand Universes" is to be released in Xiangjiang, it will still feel unfamiliar to domestic audiences.

"I will solve the publishing house's problems, but you have to help me with the writing team!" Wu Jianye said.

Ma Weidu said: "I can help you find scholars who study Chinese mythology, but how big do you want this writing team to be, and do you have any requirements for these people?"

Wu Jianye said: "At least a creative team of 50 people is needed. When you gather all these people for me, I will arrange for these people to go to Xiangjiang and the United States to learn about their comic creation."

"Comic creation, didn't you say you want to write a novel?" Wang Shuo didn't understand what Wu Jianye meant.

Wu Jianye emphasized: "This will be a mode in which novels and comics are released together."

Ma Wei sighed: "If you do this, have you thought about the loss?"

What kind of piracy situation in China has reached now? Even if Ma Wei doesn't say anything, Wu Jianye is very clear that the cost of creation is so high by Wu Jianye that it is almost impossible to make money in China of!
But Wu Jianye is also a ruthless person!
Since the domestic piracy business is so prosperous, it is simply because their production costs are low and the price is cheap, but if you want to do a piracy business, who can compare to the convenience of pirating yourself?

At that time, Wu Jianye can find a trustworthy person and set up a pirated printing company in the south. As soon as Yanjing comes out, the pirated company in the south can print immediately, which can also make up for some losses.

Moreover, Wu Jianye's idea is to increase the influence of "Three Thousand Universes" in the hearts of Chinese people. The existence of pirated versions can make this concept penetrate into county towns and rural areas.

As for the real profit, Wu Jianye still wants to put these money-making things in Xiangjiang, Southeast Asia, and eventually even distribute it to Europe and the United States!
Although Wu Jianye didn't want the birthplace of 'Three Thousand Universes' to be placed in Xiangjiang due to regional reasons, it doesn't mean that it won't be released in Xiangjiang. After all, Chinese culture has always been deeply rooted in these places.

Both Ma Wei cares about profit, while Wang Shuo cares about creators: "It's easy to find creators of novels, but what are you going to do about creators of comics?"

Wu Jianye said: "Contact the major art schools, and then I will introduce the American comic creation model, and they will go to Xiangjiang with those who create stories, and study in the United States for a period of time!"

Comic creation in the United States is not the same as that in RB. Taking Marvel as an example, the creation of any superhero comic is not created by one person, but by a team. In the process of comic creation, Firstly, the author needs to create the story; secondly, the painter outlines and draws the story with a pencil; then the painter does the coloring—in the past, paint was used, but now it is using drawing software in the computer; after that, the copywriter will add The accompanying text of the comics; in the end, editors are required to control all parts of the entire process to ensure that each link can be successfully completed before the deadline.

As for RB, as well as comics in China, Hong Kong, Europe and other places, most of them are done by one person.

After comprehensive consideration, Wu Jianye still decided to learn Marvel's creative mode, so that he can remove his personal style to the greatest extent and form a unified style for the entire Three Thousand Universes.

Ma Wei nodded, "Okay, since you already have specific ideas, let's split up!"

Wu Jianye said: "I will leave this matter to you. I will give you two months to deal with this matter. At that time, someone will pick up these people and go to Xiangjiang to study."

Ma Wei smiled and said, "Don't worry!"

After talking about the matter here with Ma Weidu Wang Shuo, Wu Jianye returned to Tangting Culture and found Xia Xiaohong.

"There are a few things that you need to follow up!" Wu Jianye ordered directly.

"You say!"

"The first thing is that the company will establish an animation department starting today, and the animation department will be handed over to you in the future." At the beginning, Wu Jianye planned to transfer Xia Xiaohong to a certain subsidiary as the leader, but thinking about it now , Xia Xiaohong has been in Tangting Culture for the longest time. After the establishment of the animation department, there will definitely be a very cumbersome workload in the early stage. Xia Xiaohong will take over at that time, which can minimize the familiarity of other people in the future.

"Second, after the establishment of the animation department, you have to go to Shanghai. The copyright of "Calabash Brothers" that I told Humei Factory before is about to expire. You have to sell it back. At the same time, Humei Factory's copyright The benefits have not been good, and some employees in the factory can’t afford to pay wages, so we can recruit as many people as we can!”

The operation of the Humei factory is going from bad to worse, and now it has begun to make ends meet. The establishment of the animation department naturally requires a large number of talents, and the Humei factory, once known as Huaxia Disney, is a huge talent base.

And even if Wu Jianye doesn't poach these people, these people will be poached by RB's animation company, so it's better to take the lead in poaching these talents before RB's animation company has reacted.

"The third thing is that you are going to be the manager of the animation department. I have to find a successor for you. At the same time, I also need a personal secretary. I will spend very little time in China in the past two years. I need a secretary to be with you at any time. Domestic contact!"

This matter was thought of by Wu Jianye before.

"The fourth one, this is a wedding gift for you. When you get married, I guess you won't be able to come back from Xiangjiang, so I can only give you the wedding gift first!"

Xia Xiaohong was taken aback by Wu Jianye's final twist, and then said with a smile, "I thought you forgot!"

Wu Jianye smiled and said: "How is it possible, you can keep the gift, but you can't say that my boss is harsh!"

Xia Xiaohong took the gift from Wu Jianye and found a Patek Philippe ladies watch. She thanked happily, "Thank you boss!"

Wu Jianye waved his hand: "Okay, you go and do these things, I'll go home first, and I have to go back to Xiangjiang tomorrow!"

After Xia Xiaohong left, Wu Jianye took Dai Zhen and Chen Le straight back to the courtyard. After returning to the courtyard, Chen Le took a gift for his sister and mother, and glanced at Wu Jianye.

"Okay, let's go see your sister, remember to come back early at night, we have to go back to Xiangjiang tomorrow!"

"okay!"

Watching Chen Le drive away, Wu Jianye and Dai Zhen walked into the courtyard.

Zhu Zhuo had received a call from Wu Jianye a long time ago, knowing that he was coming back today, but he didn't know what happened, so Wu Jianye flew back from Xiangjiang specially.

So after seeing Wu Jianye, he also asked him the purpose of coming back this time.

As for Zhu Juan, Wu Jianye naturally had nothing to hide, so he told Zhu Juan the whole thing.

After listening to it, Zhu Zhuan was also shocked by Wu Jianye's unrestrained thoughts.

"Is this really possible?"

"I don't know, but I have to try it!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

He really doesn't know if he can succeed in doing so, because no one has ever walked this path in later generations, so his advantage is not that great!
