China Entertainment’s rescue plan is hard to come by

Chapter 402 Acquisition 【Subscription】

In the lounge, Han Sanping lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly, weighing things in his mind.

How about this script?
It's not amazing, it's even a bit cliché. It's a very simple future world, where humans develop large-scale mechas to fight monsters that invade the earth. The story is entirely inherited from the first part of "Shelter" and uses the same story background.

The overall completion of the script is very high, and it can be regarded as a classic business model script.

This kind of film is no problem in Hollywood, but it is a big problem in China.

Of course, he was referring to the shoot.

Can it really be completed [-]%?
Han Sanping couldn't help but have question marks in his mind.

He turned to Sun Yi, his eyes were very deep. The Sun Yi in front of him was young, handsome and high-spirited, with a confident smile on his face.

If you do it, you will have a 50.00% success rate. If you don’t do it, you will never see success.

Han Sanping had already made a decision in his heart.

Unlike Han Sanping, Harvey read the project plan over and over again. As for the script and original painting, he simply glanced at it and put it aside.

As a top producer in Hollywood, he has read countless scripts and design manuscripts, but these things no longer interest him.

As for the script, he simply scanned it and knew in his heart that it was a typical Hollywood sci-fi story about saving the world. There are countless such scripts produced in Hollywood every year. The key lies in the director's control of the rhythm. , at this point, Sun Yi also proved himself in the previous "Shelter".

Always follow in the footsteps of a successful person until he fails.

This is the experience that Harvey has kept in mind after working hard in Hollywood for so many years.

However, Sun Yi is willing to continue investing in him until he fails. The only problem now is the specific production cost and feasibility of the project.

Harvey put away the smile on his face, pointed at the plan, and said to Sun Yi: "My friend, this plan says your budget is US$5000 million."

Sun Yi nodded and replied: "Yes."

Harvey put down the plan, shrugged, and said, "My dear Sun, this is impossible. Even if you said you would shoot in China, it is still impossible."

As he spoke, he pulled out an original drawing from the coffee table, raised it to Sun Yi, and said: "If you want to achieve this level of effects, such high-level special effects, as far as I know, it is not possible in China. You can only Seek help from Hollywood, and to do this in Hollywood, the special effects cost of the movie needs to be at least 4000 million US dollars. According to your requirements, your budget can't do anything except special effects."

At this time, Liu Yifei finally saw the drawing through Harvey's hand.

A giant mecha like Optimus Prime fights with monsters of the same size in a rough ocean.Thinking back to the 5000 million US dollars that Harvey just mentioned, his heart couldn't help but beat a little, and he looked closely at Sun Yi.

She didn't expect her brother to play so big this time.

Sun Yi took a sip of tea, smiled, and did not explain the special effects issues to Harvey. Instead, he introduced the origin of the plan in detail.

For people like Harvey, Sun Yi knew very well that he would never end up without letting him see the benefits. But at the same time, he was also practical enough. As long as it was profitable, Everything is negotiable.

Just like this time, he took the initiative to come to China, and his intention was self-evident, just to have a hand in his next movie.According to common sense, just like business negotiations, Sun Yi should be reserved and wait for Harvey to ask in person before he reluctantly accepts. This way he can have the greatest initiative, but to be honest, there is no point.

Harvey's uninvited visit already explained a lot of problems.

See it through without telling it off, everyone is eating this bowl of rice, and we are all foxes in the same village, so let's stop talking about gossip.

There will be a long-term cooperation in the future, and Hollywood still needs his management. It is the best choice to directly make it clear and pursue maximization of interests.

"Mr. Harvey, according to my plan, this movie requires a large deep-water studio, as well as several matching mechanical cockpits for mechas, including city models. Oh, by the way, there is also the latest 3D shooting equipment. , if these things were all shot in Hollywood, it would cost at least [-] million US dollars."

"But if we were in China, the cost would be greatly reduced. We have a ready-made studio in the starry sky. All we need to do is add wave-making equipment and underwater shooting equipment." Sun Yi said and subconsciously glanced at Han Sanping.

Han Sanping narrowed his eyes and said to himself.

Good boy, this has been prepared for a long time. You didn't say you wanted to play this big at the beginning.

Sun Yi didn't have time to guess Han Sanping's thoughts, but continued: "The mechanical cockpit, with China's current industrial strength, is no problem, and the cost is estimated to be less than one-tenth of the equivalent standard in the United States."

The production of this kind of mechanical cockpit is not a high-tech technology, just hydraulic and transmission devices, and it does not require any durability. As long as safety can be ensured, there will be no problem at all.The only difficulty lies in customization, so the cost remains high, but in China, any provincial-level machining company can make it.

"As for the city model, we don't have the three-dimensional modeling technology of Hollywood, but we have countless skilled prop masters. We have plenty of time and can do it bit by bit."

In fact, 3D modeling technology is not [-]D printing in later generations, but uses computers, infrared lasers and other auxiliary equipment to help prop masters build models. Compared with traditional model construction, its advantage is that it can be changed at any time. After all, many directors also have to first Only after previewing the specific effects can you make a final decision.

But Sun Yi was different. He had the effect he wanted directly, so it was easier to use traditional props to build it.

"The last 3D shooting equipment, you really have to rent it."

Having said this, Sun Yi smiled bitterly, this is a flaw that cannot be circumvented.

3D shooting equipment is considered the latest technology at the moment, and the only equipment in the world is on the set of Truck Driver's "Avatar".However, judging from the current time, the filming of "Avatar" is nearing completion, and it is estimated that the post-production of the film is being processed.

Sun Yi's movie will definitely not be shot in a short time. The studio has not been completed yet, so he is not in a hurry. He has been mentally prepared for this movie. With the current technical level and quality of China's The quality of the personnel, even those who are familiar with it, and the shooting cycle must be at least one year.

Even he himself has to figure out how to shoot 3D movies, let alone others.

"Sun, I agree with everything you said, but you didn't answer my question about special effects. What about special effects? I don't know the specific costs on the Chinese side, but I know on the Hollywood side."

"The equipment of the deepwater studio costs at least 1000 million U.S. dollars. Other equipment including motion capture and digital shooting also cost about 1000 million U.S. dollars. The latest 3D shooting equipment, even if rented, costs at least 100 million U.S. dollars a year. U.S. dollars, even if the price of your mechanical equipment is pure iron, it will cost around 500 million U.S. dollars. You only have 2000 million U.S. dollars left in your budget. What about special effects and personnel funding?"

Sun Yi nodded with a smile and waved his hand to signal Harvey to calm down, but his next words shocked everyone present.

“I’m ready to acquire the digital space.”

".fuck!!!"
