my movie years

Chapter 82 I Raise You!

This visit to Industrial Light & Magic gave the young Chinese directors a shocking feeling.

It's just that some people realized the gap in shock, and confirmed that this is indeed something that Chinese people can't play.But some people firmly believe that foreigners can do it, and Chinese people can do it too.

The pros and cons of things depend on personal absorption and utilization.

Back at the hotel where he was staying at night, Zhang Hao held the coffee in his hand, looked at the night view of Los Angeles outside the window, and let his thoughts fly.

After taking a shower, Da Mimi came out wearing a bathrobe: "Zhang Zhang, the hot water is ready for you, you can take a bath."

Zhang Hao was distracted and didn't respond.

Da Mimi walked behind Zhang Hao and put his arms around Zhang Hao's waist: "What's the matter? Are you still thinking about the day?"

Zhang also came back to his senses, turned around and held Da Mimi in his arms, thinking: "I visited Industrial Light and Magic this afternoon. I saw that many of the staff there were Chinese, so I had some ideas."

"What do you think? Tell me..." Da Mimi rested his head on Zhang Hao's chest, listening to Zhang Hao's strong heartbeat.

Zhang Hao was hugged by a princess, put Da Mi Mi on the bed, and said while changing clothes: "I used to hear people say that Chinese can't do science fiction, and Chinese can't do special effects in movies.

But now it seems that this is nothing more than a question of investment. Our market is huge, with great potential, and we can afford blockbuster films.

However, most of the special effects work for domestic films is handed over to teams from Europe, America, Japan, and South Korea.Domestic special effects companies are almost dead, they have no chance to participate in big-budget movies, and they have to close down in the end. "

"So, you want to give domestic special effects companies a chance?" Da Mimi asked.

"No, I want to set up a special effects studio by myself, learn advanced special effects technology, serve myself, and serve other domestic films in the future, and one day I can also participate in the production of big projects." After Zhang Hao said, he had already changed into a bathrobe: "Take a shower and wait for me obediently..."

Da Mi raised her jade legs, charming and charming: "Virtue, it stinks to death, hurry up and take a bath."

Seeing Zhang Hao enter the bathroom, Da Mi Mi was a little worried.Zhang Hao’s words revealed the meaning just now, did he want to develop the industrialization and technology of Chinese-language films?

will this work?Will lose money!

On the second day, Zhang Hao talked with Fu Nuoqing, who led the team, and instead of continuing the next visit, he and Da Mi Mi Guo Fan came to the industrial light and magic studio.

The Chinese director who received yesterday was surprised to see the three Chinese coming again, so he specially greeted them: "Shouldn't you be visiting the headquarters of Warner Pictures today?"

"Yes, Mr. Baker, but I still want to know more about special effects. If it's convenient, please show us around again?" Zhang Hao asked.

This Chinese director is a third-generation immigrant. Although he still has a yellow skin, he is completely white-hearted inside. He is commonly known as a banana man.

Although I don't have a good impression of compatriots of the same color from the other side of the Pacific Ocean, I even have a sense of superiority.

I don't like it, I don't like it, but in the past few days, the company's senior management has arranged for these Chinese people to visit, and Baker didn't refuse.

Anyway, the most core departments are definitely not allowed to visit, and they can't learn the things that look tall outside.

Visiting Industrial Light & Magic again, Da Mimi noticed that there are many yellow-skinned people inside Industrial Light & Magic, and there are many Chinese at a glance.

Although Westerners think that the people of China, Japan, and South Korea are similar, people in the three countries can still see the difference.

Korean mothers, islanders are wretched, and Chinese are very masculine.

In addition, there are many staff who look like Ah San at a glance, there are almost no other dark-skinned Latinos, and the whites are basically high-level managers.

This can be said to be the composition of a typical Silicon Valley company. Although Industrial Light and Magic is not in Silicon Valley, they are all engaged in technology and have the same composition model.

So Da Mimi couldn't help but think of what Zhang Hao said last night. In the past, it seems that the film industry and special effects have nothing to do with Chinese-language movies, and I feel that I can't do it.

But looking at it now, it is nothing more than a question of input and output.

Hollywood has a mature system, the largest single film market (North America), and tens of thousands of practitioners.

Accumulated economies of scale enable the industry as a whole to continuously create profits and move forward.

However, in the current environment of Chinese-language films, it is difficult to support such a system, because long-term high investment does not see returns.

"Avatar," which was released in the mainland this year, has already won 13.14 billion box office, equivalent to less than 2.37 million U.S. dollars.And how much did Avatar cost to make? $[-] million.

Looking at the mainland movie market alone, "Avatar" is a blood loss.

How much is "Avatar" North American box office? 7.5 million U.S. dollars, just looking at the North American box office, "Avatar" has already returned its capital and even made money.

A single film market that is large enough allows a sci-fi masterpiece like "Avatar" to have a sufficient base.Only when the basic market is stable and even making money can we talk about overseas markets.

Numerous facts have proved that a Hollywood blockbuster cannot sell at the box office in North America, and it is extremely difficult to make money in overseas markets.

Coupled with the distribution capabilities of Hollywood giants in the global market, "Avatar" has created the first box office in film history of up to 27 billion US dollars.

Following Zhang Hao's side, Da Mi Mi also began to unconsciously understand some things about film production.

Therefore, Da Mi Mi feels that the current Chinese film market cannot afford a super-produced large investment film.

But why did Zhang Hao insist on investing in this hopeless industry? Obviously, he already has a bright future.

Da Mi Mi can't figure it out, and can't figure it out.

She wanted to persuade Zhang Hao to give up unrealistic ideas, but seeing Zhang Hao who was discussing with Baker and Guo Fan enthusiastically, Da Mimi hesitated again.

Reason told her that Zhang Hao would fail if he did so.

But there is always a voice deep in my heart saying: Trust him, he is your choice, since you like him, you must support him...

Da Mi Mi consciously is not an emotional person, she has always felt that she has been able to practice in the entertainment industry to the point that her judgment will not be affected by emotions.

But at this moment, sensibility overwhelmed reason, and went to fucking reason and judgment.

"The problem is, if we do this, it will cost a huge amount of money, and we may lose a lot of money in the early stage." Guo Fan said while stroking the beard on his chin.

Although Baker is Chinese, he has long forgotten his mother tongue and cannot understand the discussion between Zhang Hao and Guo Fan at all.

"It is true that you will lose money, but you can also accumulate talents and technologies and develop slowly." Zhang Hao said.

"I'm afraid that director, your wallet is not rich enough to support such a company." Guo Fan said.

"It's okay, don't you know how to play the guitar? I happen to be able to sing, so let's go to Houhai Bar to sell and sing to subsidize the family." Zhang Hao laughed.

Guo Fan also laughed: "That's fine, it's tricky, haha..."

When Da Mi Mi heard it, he became impatient, how could my boyfriend be like this?
So he interjected directly: "It doesn't matter Zhangzhang, I lost money, I will support you!"

"Uh!" Zhang Hao and Guo Fan looked back at Da Mimi, and Da Mimi said firmly again: "If you want to do it, do it, the big deal, I will make more movies and TV shows to support you."

Guo Fan patted Zhang Hao's shoulder and didn't speak, but the meaning in his eyes was quite obvious.

Zhang Hao looked at the steadfast Da Mi Mi, and suddenly felt that he knew her again.

It seems that the fixed impression in the past has been broken, and it is not the big power that I know at all.

Inexplicably, there was a warm current in my heart, Zhang Hao smiled, like a ray of warm sunshine: "Okay, then we can agree, you will support me forever."

"Forever? In the next life, don't even try to escape..."

"I never thought of escaping in my previous life."

Guo Fan looked at the affectionate couple and suddenly felt that he had been fed a mouthful of dog food.

But thinking of his wife in China, Guo Fan suddenly felt that he had nothing to envy, because he was also very happy.
