Actually I just want to act

Chapter 827 This Is Actually a Negotiation
Soon, Deng Youcheng brought over the copied special effects clips.

To be honest, the special effects of "Looking for the Qin Dynasty" don't need to be very good, but if there are no special effects, it will be a fly in the ointment.

Deng Youcheng introduced: "Fang Dong, Wu Dao, please advise."

Why is the production cycle of "Looking for Qin Ji" longer than that of "The Young Man of Heaven"?It's because of special effects.In such a small studio, it takes a long time to produce good special effects.Fang Jiming and Wu Jiarong carefully observed the special effects. Both of them are experts in the industry, so they can tell that the special effects are not bad.

There is no way, the level of special effects in China is like this, no matter how high it is, it will only make the picture more refined, not more real.

Let's talk about the special effects of Wumao, they are very serious in making them, after all, they are closely related to the plot, even if the technology is not in place, they are full of sincerity.

But let’s say it’s not Wumao special effects. Fang Jiming, who has seen big scenes before, thinks it’s too childish.

Wu Jiarong looked at Fang Jiming, and the meaning was obvious: "How about this special effect?"

Fang Jiming suddenly laughed.

That's right, the 2002 TV series did this, so we can't be too demanding.

Besides, are there still few special effects in the Little Fresh Meat TV series in the previous life? !Not even at this level!What cutouts, one-point special effects, hypothetical lines... It's just eye-catching.

Well, the most important thing is that Wu Jiarong didn't give them much money, so he put his heart into making a little money.

No way, audiences like to watch special effects, and your TV series without special effects are either urban dramas or historical dramas.Anyway, in martial arts movies, you don't have special effects, and the audience just doesn't like watching it.This is the public demand, and you can't help but meet it.Otherwise, your TV series cannot be sold.

"Yes, this special effect is very good."

Fang Jiming said, "Mr. Deng is really amazing to be able to achieve such an effect with such a small amount of funds."

Deng Youcheng knew, however, that Fang Jiming had something to say, so he hurriedly said, "Where, where, Dong Fang praised you absurdly."

"I just want to ask Mr. Deng, if there is a movie that requires special effects to reach Hollywood level, or sub-Hollywood level, can you do it?" Fang Jiming said flatly, "Money is not a problem. Funding, I am sure I'll give you enough. However, the effect must be good."

Deng Youcheng was shocked: "Hollywood level?!"

What is the Hollywood level?
Deng Youcheng knew too well that even now in Hollywood in 2002, there were 3D movies, but China was just getting started.Not to mention, Hollywood's 3D special effects have matured, and China has not started at all!

"It's not a 3D movie, but a 2D movie. However, I need good special effects, more realistic special effects." Fang Jiming would not be so stupid as to make a 3D movie now, it would be a dead end.You know, there are only a few 3D theaters in China now. If you make 3D movies, you will lose your underwear for safekeeping.

Although it is possible to convert 3D to 2D, but it is very good, is it worth spending several million to convert 3D movies for the hundreds of thousands of 3D box office?
Definitely not worth it!
Deng Youcheng gritted his teeth and said: "If the funds are guaranteed to be sufficient, we should be able to do it. Director Fang, I'm not bragging. If similar special effects can be achieved in China, it's our Xishan Studio. You see, this is what we did before. The equipment bought at a huge price, although it is second-hand, can barely keep up with the level of Hollywood."

"Oh?"

Fang knew clearly that the equipment was easy to buy, but special effects talents were difficult to train.

Movies are an industry, especially in post-production, which is basically an assembly line.But if there are no special effects talents, the assembly line will be broken.It cannot be blamed for the backward special effects of Chinese films, but because of demand.The market is not big, how to get the special effects up?
It's like "Crouching Dragon and Crouching Tiger". The plot is obviously not good, but the Hollywood-level special effects made those foreigners watch it astonished.Therefore, the global box office of "Crouching Dragon and Crouching Tiger" is so high.

Deng Youcheng knew what Fang Jiming was surprised about. He smiled wryly and said, "Hollywood movie special effects companies are upgrading their equipment recently, but when the old equipment is still usable, they don't want to just throw it away, so they sold it to us. Even In this way, it also cost nearly a million dollars.”

Fang Jiming knew that for a small studio, a million dollars was already a lot of money.

"The special effects I requested are very real, can it really be done?"

Fang Jiming was still a little unconvinced, "How about this, Mr. Deng, your studio should be established as a company, and I, as an investment, will give you 1000 million to build up equipment and personnel. I don't want too many shares. , look at it, how about it?"

In fact, this already has a little bit of negotiation.

It's not that the studio is not good, it can effectively avoid excessive taxes, just look at the establishment of studios by celebrities in the past life, just to avoid tax.Later, after Zhengmei Shuangzi's accident, those stars all canceled the studio one after another. I have to say, what a slap in the face!

In fact, establishing a company has its advantages. Who doesn't want to make their business bigger?
It's just that Deng Youcheng is still a little worried: "This...Fang Dong, I have to think about it before I can give you an answer."

Fang Jiming smiled and said, "Mr. Deng, don't feel burdened. I just want to make the film better and be worthy of the audience. Moreover, this is also the biggest publicity for your studio. Once it is completed, domestic The special effects company is your company. At that time, many small and medium-sized films will come to your company, and the money will come in a rush?"

This is not a joke, it was like this in my previous life.

China's special effects vary depending on the money, and I dare not say that it exceeds the level of Hollywood, but it is absolutely no problem to get close.

The key is whether the money can keep up. If it can keep up, it will definitely be a problem to be on an equal footing with Hollywood.Do not believe?Check out "The Wandering Earth"!More than 75% of the special effects are produced by the Chinese team, which is enough to illustrate the level.But if you don’t invest in special effects now, if you don’t do special effects, you may not even be able to get a share of 25% in the future.This is the gap.

Deng Youcheng pondered for a while, and said, "How many shares does Fang Dong want?"

"Actually, I want shares, but I just want to have a stable special effects company. Because I will make movies in the future, many of which will need special effects." Fang Jiming said without exaggeration.Indeed, in the future of technological development, special effects will be a major selling point and gimmick of movies.

And Fang Jiming thought secretly, if Deng Youcheng "sworn to death", then Fang Jiming would not be polite.

First of all, Fang Jiming will set up a special effects department, and then use the name of Oriental DreamWorks to poach talents from Xishan Studio.

This is still the first trick.

The second trick is that Fang Jiming will compete with Xishan Studio for business, directly reducing Xishan Studio's income by more than 80%.

The third trick is to use capital to force Deng Youcheng to finally sell Xishan Studio to himself.

It has to be said that Fang Jiming puts the courtesy first and then the soldier, and everyone who has money is the kingly way.But if you are not on the right track, Fang Jiming has to use some means to make you on the right track.
