China Entertainment's turbulent era

Chapter 173 He looks ordinary, but he likes to do special effects!
Regarding the fact that "Your Name" is temporarily at the top of the box office list.

Shen Fang knew it probably wouldn't last long.

He himself is not a vain guy, although he called his family and friends one by one when he became the number one of the year.

Cough cough, this is not vanity.

At least this is the real number one, who would be unhappy?

Even if it is surpassed later, it will be later.

Shen Fang is at least honest, there are many fake phenomena in this world.

Take height for example. It seems that I have never heard of someone reporting a height of 179 or 159.

Obviously, at this time, it will be rounded consciously.

Human nature, nothing more to say.

Of course, if someone reports such a height, then please cherish him (her). Such a person is at least sincere in heart.

Shen Fang considers himself an honest person, so his visit to Hong Kong this time has absolutely nothing to do with "Lust, Caution".

This is a very clear fact, and there is evidence to support it.

Just say that he and his good brother often make mistakes like that, isn't this a clear proof?
Obviously, Shen Fang is more concerned about the rations of the next generation.

So, what did he do in Hong Kong?

"Come on, Brother Shen, let me introduce you. This is the well-known owner of Xiantao Digital, Mr. Zhu Jiaxing."

"Hello, Mr. Zhu, I'm Shen Fang."

"Mr. Shen, how are you? You are indeed young and promising."

Xiantao Digital, this is the main reason why Shen Fang came to Hong Kong.

It should be said that this digital company is very famous, and it can be said that it is one of the earliest companies in visual effects in Hong Kong and even our country.

He is the veteran of our Chinese special effects company.

Moreover, the founder of this company is quite famous.

Zhu Jiaxing also has an older brother named Zhu Jiading. The two of them were originally in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, but they were doing advertising.

Back then, I cooperated with many big brands and celebrities. Among them, Uncle Zhan said very famously: Once Remy Martin starts, good luck will come naturally.

That's what they did with the brothers.

Later, the eldest brother of the Zhu family even took the well-known movie star Zhong Chuhong.

That's right, it's the Aunt Chu Hong who is known as the Oriental Marilyn Monroe.

This Xiantao is quite powerful, he can definitely be regarded as one of the wealthy families.

Advertising, in itself, is more profitable than film and television dramas.

In addition, advertisements often require a lot of special effects shots.

Don't think that film and television special effects are something new. In fact, since the day the film was born, there have been many special effects methods.

We humans are always very interested in interesting light and shadow pictures.

And Shen Fang had no contact with Xian Tao, so he was able to find them this time because of Zhang Xiaobei.

After all, he is a media person. After all, in this circle, he spends more time working than Shen Fang.

Moreover, in terms of special effects, Zhang Xiaobei has been thinking about it for a long time.

Although he is a film critic, this guy has a heart that wants to make a sci-fi movie.

So, the next step is for everyone to talk about cooperation?
"Mr. Zhu, the name of our movie this time is "Source Code". The special effects shots we need are mainly train explosions and some environmental aspects. As for the characters, um, the male protagonist also needs some changes."

Shen Fang told Zhu Jiaxing their thoughts, which was a relatively normal early communication.

However, Zhu Jiaxing soon lost interest.

"Mr. Shen, let's make a long story short. You may not know much about Hong Kong. Time is really precious in Hong Kong. Time is money.

So, let's get to the point. "

There is something wrong with these words.

Zhang Xiaobei could hear it, he frowned, and even wanted to vent.

But Shen Fang is a young man who is close to 40 years old after all, so he still held back.

"Okay, then let's talk about the important thing, that..."

Just as Shen Fang wanted to say something, Zhu Jiaxing laughed and said, "Mr. Shen, the most important thing is actually very simple. What is the budget for special effects in this "Source Code"?"

Just talk about money.

Indeed, this is really the most important thing.

Shen Fang had already heard that the other party's sincerity was insufficient, but he had already talked about this point, and the other party was indeed capable.

Then bear with it.

"Probably prepare an investment of 500 million."

500 million, this is definitely a big investment for Shen Fang.

Even for Zhang Xiaobei, it was amazing.

Our domestic film production, as long as it is not the kind of big director who burns money, in fact, in terms of cost, there is really not that much.

Moreover, the place where the movie really burns money is sometimes not the special effects scene.

The number of group performances, the length of the shooting, the amount of lunch boxes... This is actually the point where the real money is spent.

Many people certainly don't believe it, but it is indeed true.

The simplest number of ensemble actors is like Zhang Yimou's "Golden Flowers in the City". If this movie is completely recruited from Hengdian, the number of ensemble actors at its peak is 2 people.

How much is it for one day?

For 2 people, at least 80 a day is paid, and you have to pay for lunch, bus fares, etc.

At least 200 million in a day.

Zhang Yimou and the others had a good relationship with the military, so they recruited many soldiers.

But even so, the box office of "Golden Armor" is very good, but it doesn't make much money.

Shen Fang intends to make "Source Code" into a blockbuster this time, and he really intends to make a big one.

But overall, the cost of this movie is actually controllable.

The demand for personnel is not high, just blowing up the train, which is more difficult.

The special effects are done.

But the special effects budget of 500 million yuan mentioned by Shen Fang made Zhu Jiaxing laugh directly.

"Mr. Shen, it is very difficult for us to do special effects with this budget."

Come on, it will be very clear if this is said.

The other party didn't intend to take this job at all.

Is it arrogance or something else?
Zhang Xiaobei could hardly bear it anymore, but Shen Fang gave him a color.

"Then how much does Mr. Zhu want here?"

Zhu Jiaxing chuckled, "No matter how you say it, it's worth ten million."

Shen Fang nodded after hearing this. The question he just asked was to ask for a price, and he also confirmed one thing.

Well, the other party is just arrogant, just has a sense of superiority.

Can't accept jobs under 500 million?
Shen Fang smiled, "Mr. Zhu, if I'm not wrong, your company's life is not so easy, right?"

Ok?
Zhang Xiaobei understood in an instant that these words were questioning the other party.

What are you pretending to be!
Zhu Jiaxing's expression changed, "What exactly does Mr. Shen mean?"

Shen Fang smiled, "I'm from mainland China, but I'm not so uninformed. Hong Kong is a financial center, but what is the international financial market like now, do you think I don't know?"

These words, seemingly without saying anything, made Zhu Jiaxing very uncomfortable.

It's 2007, and the subprime crisis has been around for a while!
The financial tsunami has actually begun, but some people are still there as if nothing happened.

This is the face of many European and American financial industries. What they are doing now is beyond words.

That is, they made fake accounts and whitewashed the financial market that should have collapsed.

It is true that there are two tricks, but it is definitely doing it to death!

Xiantao is nothing in front of financial predators.

There are already problems in their current business operations. The special effects area requires high investment and high risk.

You need all kinds of financing, but where do you go for financing now?
Shen Fang, a mainlander...Zhu Jiaxing came to see him in person, it was a way of saving face, so of course he had to make a good deal of it.

But who would have thought that Shen Fang would be so shameless.

"Hmph! So what? In this business, who is better than Xiantao? Mr. Shen, I didn't say no to cooperation. It's really rude of you to talk like this."

After listening to Zhu Jiaxing's words, Shen Fang laughed, "Good guy, you still beat me up!
Alright, since you think you are the best in this line of work, then I'm going to be a dead end!
I will go to another company tomorrow, and when the film comes out, I will definitely invite Mr. Zhu to be there. "

These words are well-founded, neither humble nor overbearing, and, moreover, they are also beautiful!

Zhang Xiaobei is a big Internet troll, he thinks it is very enjoyable.

Zhu Jiaxing's face was flushed, but he still couldn't lose face, "Hmph! You can't find it!"

He is too confident, he only thinks that Xiantao is the best.

After speaking, Zhu Jiaxing left in a huff.

Only Shen Fang and Zhang Xiaobei were left, and they naturally had a chat.

"Brother, do you have a goal? Or are you cheating on the other party?"

Yes, negotiation, isn't that the way it is, fooling each other.

But Shen Fang shook his head, "Help me find out about someone's itinerary."

what?
Zhang Xiaobei was startled, he didn't expect Shen Fang to do things so terribly.

But who is that person?

No, Shen Fang gave him an ordinary name.

……

Gu Zai, he should not be called Gu Zai anymore.

Although, it is still so ordinary, it will always cause many beautiful women to scream.

But he is still old and his skin is still dark.

However, these are nothing, and none of them can erase his enthusiasm for movies.

On this day, someone actually came to him, and this person had met once before.

"Well, should I call you Gu Zai or Brother Tian?"

When they met on the set, Gu Zai Tianle also showed a smile on his ordinary face.

"Shen Fang! Haha...we seemed to..."

""Baby Project", I only appeared in two or three scenes, and then I hung up."

"Yes! Haha... By the way, why come to me when you have time?"

The two chatted, and it was quite decent.

Zhang Xiaobei couldn't help wiping away his sweat.

Because he knew what Shen Fang was going to talk about.

"Brother Tian, ​​this is ok."

"Ok."

To be honest, mediocrity has not figured out the opponent's way until now.

Unexpectedly, Shen Fang went on to say:

"I know Brother Tian has always wanted to be a film and television special effects company. He must have been preparing for a long time. Now I also have plans in this regard. Why don't we work together, how about it?"

Film and television special effects company?

Him, how did he know?
What surprised Ping Wuqi even more was that Shen Fang gave him a gift.

Darth Vader, the tragic villain in "Star Wars", the character who uttered that classic line.

I am your father!
And then died.

Oh, well, what Shen Fang is sending out now is the figure of Darth Vader, or he asked for it from Lu Yang.

And this figure is plain, and I like it at first glance.

Yes, he just loves Star Wars and the company he started to make that movie.

Industrial Light and Magic.
