I Really Didn’t Want to Be the Savior

"Mr. Diaz, I am here."

Chen Feng shouted loudly, raising his hand.

At the moment of looking up, the gloom on James Diaz's face quickly hides.

The electric car turned a bit awkwardly and turned towards Chen Feng.

"Mr. Chen, I haven’t seen you in a few months, I almost didn’t know you. When I first heard about you, you were a great musician. When I was thinking about how to invite When you created a theme song for my movie, you became a superhero on the Internet. When I seriously thought about what to do to trick you into my crew as an actor, you suddenly became a superhero. A scientist. I even wonder if you live in your body with an alien manipulating humans like the "black clothed person"."

James was joking.

Chen Feng haha ​​smiled, "Barry Sonnenfeld is a great science fiction director."

"Yes, I also admire him. But I think I’m better ."

James blinked.

Zhan Shen, who looks refined in manner, also has a bit of naughty American humor.

Chen Feng gave a thumbs up, "Yes."

The two chatted for a while.

Chen Feng is a little disappointed.

It turns out that director Zhan’s main scene has been filmed today, and the actors have left the set to work on their own affairs.

On the other side of the studio, the set that has just been filmed is being demolished and ready to build a new set.

Director James, on the other hand, was a bit lazy and came over to chat with Chen Feng casually.

Relationships are his time for paddling. No wonder he will invite Chen Feng over.

According to the descriptions of Zhan Shen's filming that Chen Feng had seen on the Internet before, how could he catch others when he has a formal job?

This is an almost perverted master who is harsh on all details.

In the film industry, there are many legends about director James.

His output is very small, but almost every one has become a classic, full of all kinds of whimsical ideas, and has both reputation and popularity.

He is also very keen to use new technology, even if it is shooting a documentary love scene, the new technology used can sort out a basket and open a new chapter in film technology.

His another masterpiece "Asoda", as a classic masterpiece born eleven years ago, its level of special effects is still not outdated to this day.

The use of CG technology can be called a cross-age, and it has constructed a dreamlike picture. The precision and beauty are the ultimate at that time, and it will not be out of date by 2020.

"Asoda" also opened the curtain of 3D movies, leading the rapid innovation of global theater playback equipment.

At the same time, he is also a seemingly humble, but in fact he has a strong desire for control, jealous and self-confident stubborn "lunatic".

Of course, maybe at this time in the mind of Director James, Chen Feng is probably even more crazy than him.

Director Zhan himself is a master in the field of science fiction, Chen Feng is even more exaggerated. At a young age, he is already a master in the field of science.

If you draw an equal sign between genius and madness, there is no doubt that Chen Feng should be the most "crazy" person in the world.

The two went inside and passed by a closed gate. A middle-aged woman in a professional suit came over with a somewhat wary expression, "Mr. Diaz, in accordance with the confidentiality requirement, we Don’t let unrelated people see our set...Uh...Academician Chen? Welcome! Hello, I’m the production director of Sauron Pictures, my name is..."

Chen Feng laughed, If you just deal with a few words casually, it's considered a greeting.

This person is getting more and more famous, and his influence is getting higher and higher. When he meets these kind of people blocking the door, he really doesn't need to rely on anyone to set off that.

Just show it with a face, it means walking pretending to be what props, others will immediately have to shake it three times when they recognize it.

In the rest room on the second floor of the studio, James gave Chen Feng a cup of Mingqian Longjing that he was looking for a Chinese actor to come, and then he served a cup of caramel latte with white smoke.

Then the two quickly entered the topic. James opened the fingerprint-locked safe on the back and took out the corner hair curlers from the inside, which obviously thickened a large stack of English scripts of the printed version of "Cross and Crossing Starry Sky".

Chen Feng just glanced at him and knew that this man was really a workaholic.

He’s still filming here, and he turned the script he gave him in two or three weeks. You have to have 48 hours instead of 24 hours a day!

James opened the script.

Chen Feng frowned when he saw the various red pens and blue pens writing and drawing above.

He thought to himself, taking so many notes, this Deity's stinking problem has not changed, and his desire to control is really strong.

Then the two began to communicate on the script.

Director Zhan has shown a clear interest in directing "Across the Stars" and is even willing to invest in himself.

Of course Chen Feng will not agree.

He gave his conditions.

Investment is done by oneself, without pretending to be others.

At the same time, he will also give Director James and the team behind him the highest single-stroke film director compensation in history. Of course, the box office net profit dividends that Hollywood celebrities usually care about are not Gotta talk.

It's really not Chen Feng's petty.

He knows exactly what kind of horrible box office "Cross and Cross Stars" will achieve.

That is an astronomical figure of six billion dollars.

Net profit is between US$2 and US$2.5 billion.

To implement the normal dividend standard in the industry, he can spend money to get confused.

If you set a price according to his expectations of 1%, although it will eventually reach 20 million dollars or more, it is very interesting, but others will not recognize it now, and will think this is a humiliating offer, which is easy to talk about collapse.

It is better to directly add 20 million to the fixed expenditure. Both parties are very happy.

Director Zhan is satisfied with Chen Feng's offer, but this is not the point he wants to talk about.

Although he appreciates Chen Feng's script, he still wants to add a lot of his own ideas and refuses to follow the script completely.

How can Chen Feng agree.

Aren’t you doing something?

The script has already been thousands hammers, hundred refinements, and can stand the test of time.

The box office has reached 6 billion, so what kind of bicycle?

is it possible that tens of billions after the change?

You have to talk about the Basic Law if you brag.

James is a director with a strong desire for control, and Chen Feng is an investor and screenwriter who must have everything under control.

He didn't want to change a word or a detail.

Leading Mr. Zhan to argue with his notes, Chen Feng just doesn’t let go.

Sometimes Chen Feng also thinks Mr. Zhan’s proposal makes sense, but he remembers it in his heart. I took a look at the finished product I have seen.

How do you say?

Some links seem to be changed to get better results in a certain length of the movie, but if the links are stretched to the rhythm of the whole movie, it may not be good.

Some things that were considered shortcomings at the time, in the analysis of many film critics in later generations, have turned into the advantages that made the ultimate success.

The essence of a good movie is the same as music. It is a real art full of variables. You cannot pursue the ultimate one-sidedly, and you should consider the overall situation.

Moreover, a large part of James's opinions are based on the consideration of current special effects technology.

He believes that with today’s computer rendering capabilities, the scene outlined in Chen Feng’s script cannot be achieved. No matter how much the investment scale is enlarged, it is impossible.

Since it couldn’t be done, I simply changed the script and compromised the plot to the level of special effects.

Director Zhan himself is not a person who can easily compromise, but he has been in the film industry for a longer time and has rich experience, unlike Chen Feng's "idealism".

Chen Feng has not let go. Many refusals are very unreasonable and impolite.

Good things are about to fall apart.

James sighed, looking very regretful, shaking his head and smiling wryly, "Mr. Chen, it seems that we should actually understand each other better before we talk about cooperation. I understand your persistence and respect your choice. , But if you always refuse to yield an inch like this, then I am afraid our cooperation will not be realized."

He is really sorry,

At the same time, he has nothing to Chen Feng Disrespectful thoughts.

Just years of experience in the industry tells him that if the filmmaker has such an idea to make a film, the work will not be carried out at all.

Chen Feng is not surprised by this.

As early as when he finalized that the core element of making a movie is to control everything, he knew that it was difficult to win over the truly talented top celebrities.

It looks as if I really want to talk about it.

However, this is still in his grasp.

Chen Feng knows how to seduce the other party to the bait.

"Mr. Diaz, don't rush to make a decision." Chen Feng laughed, "I know what your biggest regret about "Asoda" is."

James is surprised Yu Chen Feng suddenly turned to the topic, but he did not deny that, "Many people know that I am not satisfied with the 3D effect. Due to the constraints of technology and financial scale, I have not been able to truly produce and extend those beautiful scenes. The effect of the screen."

Chen Feng nodded, "At that time, you definitely thought there would be a chance to achieve it in ten years, right?"

"Yes. However, it has passed by now. In ten years, our computer performance is indeed more powerful, and the performance of professional graphics rendering graphics cards has increased dozens of times, but it seems to be far from enough. I am 66 years old and I am really worried that I can see that day while I am alive."

Chen Feng saw him suddenly turn from excitement to dull and lonely, and smiled, "It's definitely possible."

"en?"

"Because I will do this."

"Huh?"

"Mr. Diaz, I will reveal a secret to you quietly. In addition to being able to write "Madman’s Conjecture" In addition to inventing new materials, I also have a lot of research on the hardware of electronic computers. However, what I am best at is actually artificial intelligence programming. I will develop a self-domesticating ability and super self-learning The core of the capable rendering engine. The picture you are looking for will become a reality within four years at the latest. I will show you what the movie special effects engine of the next era looks like."

James first thinks to hear it Wrong, "You mean, you want to promote the level of special effects in the entire industry?"

"Yes, just like I promote other industries, it's not difficult. You don't think I can do it Is it? In addition to writing the kernel of the program myself, I am also planning to invest 500 million US dollars in two years to form my own light and shadow studio. You will be able to see the preliminary engine in two months at the latest, when the time comes I will try to undertake some special effects rendering business. Of course, I can guarantee that the special effects level of "Cross and Cross Stars" will reach more than five times this year's level."

"You Aren’t you kidding me?"

"Am I like someone who can make jokes? Or Mr. Diaz, you question my inability to do it?"

James: "I have read two books "Madman’s Conjecture Collection", I also talked to some friends in the scientific world."

"oh?"

"So I know you will do what you say."

"Yes."

Looking at Zhan Shen's gradually shining eyes, Chen Feng slowly smiled.

It is done.

Be prepared, doing things is so easy.
