Is it not a galgame?

December 2000, 8.

Tokyo, Tsukigawa Co., Ltd.

"Huh? Do you actually want to release so many movies and TV series in one go?"

Seeing the future mission plan arranged by Qing Zhiyuan for himself, Fumi Hitotsubashi on Yuehe's side couldn't help but take a breath of air.

She flipped through it, and it contained several plans that needed to be made in the future:

"Spider-Man" needs to be made into a big movie with a super action feel. It is best to show the shots of the little spider flying in the air. Don't worry about the special effects, it will be provided by pokeni.

"Game of Thrones" requires large-scale scene production and post-production special effects, which require the construction of real scenes and some use of mini models for filming. Large-scale magical productions require more than hundreds of actors.

So far, we are planning to shoot the first season, which will probably require the production of 8 to 12 episodes, which will then be broadcast on some TV stations in North America and the P-NET American video website.

p agency expects to complete the establishment of the entire video website in the second half of 2001.

This also puts a lot of pressure on the programmer team.

"Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is a similar magical fantasy production that targets audiences of all ages and requires a lot of post-production special effects.

And this last one:
"Gravity"

"Gravity" was directed by Alfonso Cuaron in its previous life.
Starring Sandra Bullock and George Clooney.

The film tells the story of what happened in space after two male astronauts and a female astronaut on board the Explorer space shuttle were hit by space debris when they went out to perform maintenance on the Hubble Telescope.

Since all other colleagues died, this "confined space" movie in the space field has very few characters. In the second half of the film, there is almost only one heroine starring Sandra Bullock. What she will face is cruel The infinite loneliness and fear in the human heart in the cosmic environment.

This film won seven awards at the 2014th Academy Awards for Best Director, Best Editing, Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound Effects, Best Sound Editing and Best Score.

It can be said to be a quite remarkable movie.

The reason why Qing Zhiyuan chose it is also very simple. Compared with other film productions, space special effects films are easier to make, especially this kind of film with almost only a few people. The male and female protagonists share 90% of the whole process. The above shots are actually relatively ideal test shots.

In other words, it can be used to verify pokeni technology. At the same time, the cost and shooting cycle required will be relatively short, and there will be a certain degree of difficulty in post-production, but it is very suitable for practicing.

……

After reading it, Fumie Hitotsubashi couldn't help but gasp.

"President, I have to say something inappropriate," Fumi Hitotsubashi frowned, looked at the tasks in the PPT with difficulty, and took a deep breath.

"With so many large-scale and difficult films and TV shows, it feels like the production is unrealistic and almost impossible to complete."

Hitotsubashi Fumi analyzed seriously, "Ao-san, don't forget, we are still producing the remaining two films of The Matrix."

"I know." Qing Zhiyuan responded calmly.

"So there are no extra manpower here to complete other content shooting. If you want to create new content, you have to recruit more employees, and the number will increase exponentially, and you have to prepare for each drama. Looking for corresponding directors and actors...

It’s definitely unrealistic for me to be the only producer. "

"Ah."

Qing Zhiyuan nodded, indicating that he already knew all this, otherwise I wouldn't have brought it up.

"Then let's recruit people. I know that you as a producer will definitely be too busy. We can definitely hire some big-name producers in Hollywood. Just help us contact them.

By the way, I had a good chat with Cameron at the Oscar Film Festival before. You should give him priority. "

Ah this...

Hitotsubashi Fumie's brows furrowed twice, and she felt like she was breaking out in a cold sweat.

Green mulberry!

Do you think Hollywood is run by your family?

Whoever you want to be the producer?
Whoever you want to star will be accepted?
Various schedules need to be coordinated, and the related prices and fees need to be negotiated. It’s not as easy as you think at all, okay?
Hitotsubashi Fumi had a headache. I always felt that Qing Zhiyuan was a little too arrogant.
Although P Club and Yuehe are indeed rich now, they cannot cover the sky with just one hand. There must be rules in everything.

……

Hitotsubashi Fumie took a deep breath, calmed down, and continued to persuade:
“Also, it’s difficult to allocate money.”

Hitotsubashi Mune made some estimates based on these different projects.

If "Spider-Man" wants to do well, it is indispensable to guarantee a minimum of 1 million US dollars, and it must try its best to choose suitable but inexpensive male and female protagonists, preferably those who are relatively young and have potential.

On the one hand, it is to save money, and on the other hand, although Moon River has a film of The Matrix, its influence in Hollywood is not that strong, and it is not to the point where they can choose people at will.

It is very likely that many A-list celebrities may not be willing to star in it.

The production cost of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is estimated to be similar to that of Spider-Man, with a conservative estimate of more than $100 million.

"Game of Thrones" is an exaggeration. According to Qing Zhiyuan's requirements, each episode must present the feeling of a big production, reaching the production level of The Lord of the Rings, or even higher than this...

Although Hitotsubashi Mune hasn't seen the specific script yet, it's unclear how many large-scale special effects need to be produced and how many large-scale scenes need to be built...

But at least 3 million US dollars cannot be escaped.

The cheapest one among them is "Gravity", for which Qing Zhiyuan carefully wrote the script. If the whole process is left to Pokeni to complete the post-production, as long as the actor's fee can be suppressed, it will be within about 8000 million US dollars. , Hitotsubashi Fumi-e can control it.

However, these are conservative estimates. Based on what may actually happen, Hitotsubashi believes that the production cost will be at least 50% higher than what she estimated.

"After all these filming and production are completed, the production cost alone will probably cost 8 million to 10 billion U.S. dollars!"

Hitotsubashi Fumie emphasized the word "dollars" heavily.

I hope this guy Qing Zhiyuan can have some ideas.

Don’t always think about eating the whole day in one sitting. This is simply not realistic.

10 billion US dollars, not to mention Yuehe, even Pokeni may not be able to generate such a large amount of cash flow.

However, Qing Zhiyuan was not anxious at all and smiled lightly.

"I know, let's start it first, then sort it and make it according to priority."

"Well, that should be fine." Hitotsubashi Fumie breathed a sigh of relief.

However, at the same time, what Qing Zhiyuan was thinking in his heart was——

Isn't it just a billion dollars?
If we look at the production cycle now, it will definitely be a bit stretched. But if the filming cycle is extended to 2 to 3 years, Qing Zhiyuan feels that it is easy to earn 10 billion. Even the 10 billion will be available next year.

So Qing Zhiyuan is not worried about this problem at all.

"So……"

Hitotsubashi studied it carefully and pondered, "In what order do you think the production should be carried out?"

Although she probably has a certain ranking in her mind, as a qualified subordinate, it is very necessary to give priority to asking her boss's opinions.

"I thought so."

Seeing Fumi Hitotsubashi being so smart, Qing Zhiyuan's eyes lit up and he laughed excitedly.

"The top priority is definitely to make "Gravity" first. It is actually a good tester that we can use to verify the level of new computer special effects."

"Yeah, okay. I think so too."

Hitotsubashi Fumi quickly recorded it on the computer, for fear that he would regret it.

In terms of production cost and difficulty, as well as production scale, "Gravity" is the most suitable for the first production.

And Hitotsubashi Fumie almost has some suitable candidates in his mind.

"So when is this movie expected to be released?" Hitotsubashi Fumie continued to ask.

"The sooner the better, next year."

"Okay." Hitotsubashi Fumi typed on the keyboard.

"Then, it's Spider-Man." Qing Zhiyuan continued to look at the PPT and said, "'Spider-Man' has to be released early because we need to make money. And if we open up the superhero market earlier, Marvel will be able to go more smoothly in the future." ”

Now that Marvel has been acquired, it is natural to use its value. If it keeps putting off making movies, Marvel will lose money now.

To be precise, it is a money-burning machine, which probably brings losses of more than 8000 million US dollars to P Club every year.

But once Little Spider made his name, the situation was completely different.

Hearing Qing Zhiyuan's words, Hitotsubashi Fumie frowned slightly and seemed a little uncomfortable. The production of Spider-Man was actually quite difficult, especially to show the speed of the little spider swinging, flying and jumping in the air, and to make the shot. , it is not easy to give audiences an extremely high viewing experience.

But now that Qing Zhiyuan said this, she had nothing to say. Who made it have extremely high strategic significance?

"So when is the expected time?" Hitotsubashi Fumie continued to ask.

"next year!"

"what?"

Hitotsubashi Fumi was surprised and inadvertently typed two more symbols with his fingers.

"This... seems impossible." Hitotsubashi Fumi said, "Even now it's too late to start looking for producers and actors. I estimate that it will take half a year to start filming.

In addition, post-production took another half a year, and this does not include situations where something went wrong mid-shooting.

It doesn't look like it will be released until 2002. "

"Then let's take 2002." Qing Zhiyuan said.

Hitotsubashi Fumi sighed silently in her heart, always feeling that Qing Zhiyuan was a bit too casual?
Now Yuehe's chairman Tsuda Nao basically doesn't care about the company, and CEO Qing Zhiyuan is allowed to do whatever he wants. Hitotsubashi Fumie can't find anyone to complain to.

And even if Nao Tsuda is found, Hitotsubashi does not think Chairman Tsuda will be willing to intervene.

how to say?

Who made me so naive and agreed to enter the Moon River?

There is always a feeling of jumping into a pit of fire now.

"Well, Harry Potter and Game of Thrones should be launched as soon as possible this year." Qing Zhiyuan said, "Our games are already under development. If the film and television are not launched, there will actually be a lack of publicity effect.

So the Harry Potter movies and the Game of Thrones TV series need to be produced as soon as possible, and we don’t have much time left.

I hope to see them in 2002. "

"Ah this..."

Hitotsubashi Fumue's fingers stopped mid-typing on the keyboard, having given up the useless struggle.

Good guy...

After sorting it out, don’t we still need it all?

"I'll try my best to arrange it." Hitotsubashi Fumi sighed silently.

……

Qing Zhiyuan's arrangement seemed rough, but in fact it was not unreasonable.

On the one hand, as he said, film and television come first, and only after the popularity is increased can the game sell more sales. Otherwise, Game of Thrones will only rely on the popularity of the novel without the support of film and television dramas. In fact, it will be difficult to achieve particularly good results.

The same goes for everything else.

So far, among the upcoming missions, only the Spider-Man game is not on the production schedule.

Others are already under development, and two years is enough time to produce finished products, so Qing Zhiyuan also evaluates based on the progress of game development.

It seems a bit difficult, but in fact it can be solved with manpower and money. Just open a few more different crews.

Therefore, problems that can be solved by stockpiling and money are not problems in Qing Zhiyuan's view.

Yes, it is so heroic and Versailles.

As long as everything goes smoothly, the subsequent gains will be unlimited. Qing Zhiyuan can almost see what a huge business empire will look like in the future.
