"Legend of the White Fox" is expected to be filmed for four and a half months and will be completed at the end of August. The filming is scheduled to take place in Hengdian studio for 60 days. Later, it will be shot at the Western Cinema and the desert in Yinchuan, and then transferred to Bashang Grassland for the final scene.

"The people in "The Legend of Mi Yue" are worried that we will compete for the venue." "The Legend of Mi Yue" also started shooting on the Bashang grassland in early September, and the two films share some locations on the grassland.

"Didn't we coordinate it early in the morning? It won't delay their set." The palms and backs of the hands are all flesh. "The Legend of Mi Yue" is another TV series with a female protagonist made by Yuan Yuan after "The Legend of Zhen Huan", and it also stars Sun Li.

, is a strong contender for next year’s Drama King.

"It's not that "White Fox" was delayed for a few days to start shooting. "Mi Yue" was worried that we would delay the filming, so they came to me in a hurry to confirm the time."

Cheng Yu'an said: "Tell Cao Ping (producer of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "The Legend of Mi Yue") that I am making progress and will not delay her start of filming."

If it were just the "Legend of the White Fox" group, Cheng Yu'an would still be busy.

However, all the movies, big and small, that have already started or will be shot in Hengdian came to meet Cheng Yu'an.

Today, "Nirvana in Fire" came over and asked the two leading actors from "Legend of the White Fox" to make guest appearances, but Cheng Yu'an pushed them back.

Tomorrow, "Prince Concubine's Promotion" will come over and complain to Cheng Yu'an, saying that Hengdian's ancient costumes have been taken over by "Legend of the White Fox" and "Nirvana in Fire", and he has nothing to wear.

Cheng Yu'an scolded the props. Without you in Hengdian, he wouldn't have gone to Xiangshan or Huairou to find them. He also mentioned this little thing.

ahzww

After a few quiet days, the investor representatives came to visit the "White Fox" team, and Cheng Yu'an had to spare time to accompany him.

The investor delegation is quite large, headed by Ye Ning from Wanda and Zhang Wei, director of Dadi Cinema, and a small number ten from Wuyangyang.

When have you ever seen these big guys visiting the same crew together?

Cheng Yu'an told Guo Fan to leave it alone: ​​"You continue filming, Shen Yuan (the special effects director of "The Legend of the White Fox") and I will take this group of people for a walk."

Shen Yuan was introducing the special effects production of "Legend of the White Fox" to investors. What this film sells is special effects: "This set of real-time rendering technology was introduced by us at a huge investment last year. "White Fox" is the first film to use this system.

Movie. Look," Shen Yuan pointed at the special effects rendering screen, "the material shot on the set will be sent here, and the system will render the picture in real time.

"Of course, real-time rendering can only achieve a rough effect, but it can also save a lot of time in post-production. If we had this system when filming "The Martian," the post-production special effects wouldn't have taken three years."

"Isn't this system cheap?" Ye Ning asked.

"Well, we have been talking about the introduction of this system for more than a year. Including post-debugging and personnel training, it cost nearly 300 million." Shen Yuan smiled, "Every year I report to Mr. Cheng with trepidation, and other departments

They all say how much they make, but our special effects department only goes to the headquarters every year and tells us how much we have lost, and the losses don’t count, and we have to ask Mr. Cheng to continue to give us money and continue to lose money.”

The remote department has three major money-losing departments: Tiangong Yicai, Remote Weibo and Taopiaopiao.

The biggest loss of Tiangong Yicai is not the research and development and introduction of technology, but the preparation of the rendering center. Tiangong Yicai cooperated with the Jinmen Supercomputing Center to establish its own cloud rendering center. Although there is policy support, this cooperation project is still

Super expensive.

Fortunately, at the end of last year, the cloud rendering center was officially launched, and it should not be difficult for Tiangong Yicai to make profits in the future.

Weibo's losses have gradually decreased in the past two years. Although competing products are still there, they no longer pose a threat to remote Weibo. In another year or two, it should not be difficult to make a profit.

With only Taopiaopiao, there are many competing products on the market, and the profit prospects are still far away.

Cheng Yu'an also laughed after hearing this: "Just seeing how happy I am with my money makes me feel bad. So much money is poured into it every year. If you don't make money for me this year, I won't be able to convince shareholders to invest in you."

Special effects is a department where there is no way to make tricks. You can only use money and time to sharpen it. It has been 7 years since the acquisition of Tiangong Yicai in 2007. This small company that initially followed the footsteps of foreign special effects companies has now grown into a domestic

Even a major center in the field of special effects in Asia.

Cheng Yu'an continued: "Thanks to the advancement of rendering technology, the post-production cycle of "White Fox" will not be too long and can be completed in 17 months. It is originally scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival in 2016, so there should be no problems." Gotta give it.

Investors took this reassurance.

At the end of 2015, "The Secret of the Dragon" will be released remotely during the Lunar New Year.

Halfway through the dinner reception in the evening, Ye Ning revealed her true intention of coming today. Wanda, together with Dadi, Jinyi and Hengdian Cinemas, planned to form a Wuzhou Film Distribution Company and wanted to invite Jiahe Cinemas to participate.

Cheng Yu'an was a little surprised. These four theater chains ranked among the top ten theater chains in the country, and Golden Harvest hovered around 15th place all year round. To form such a distribution company, they would actually consider Golden Harvest.

Jiahe was completely different from them.

However, Ye Ning's next words made Cheng Yu'an understand the truth: "We have obtained the qualification to introduce films."

now it's right!

What they value is Cheng Yu'an's connections in Hollywood, and they want to get movies in Hollywood.

Cheng Yu'an had no reason not to agree to such an invitation.

He knew that Jiahe would definitely not be the dominant player in Wuzhou Distribution, but if he could occupy a place in such a company, just a few words would be enough.

Mastering the qualifications for imported films is a big killer.

Let’s not talk about the distant ones, let’s talk about last year’s China Film Group’s “Tianji: Dwelling in the Fuchuan Mountains”.

When the film was released, there was no Hollywood blockbuster for two weeks.

Those released at the same time as it were all domestically produced small and medium-cost productions.

"Man of Steel" was released 12 days after him.

Otherwise, this shitty movie can get 300 million?

Investing in a company that has the qualifications to introduce films is also beneficial to the company. It will be much more convenient to buy batches of films in the future - batches of films are also distributed by companies with the qualifications to distribute imported films. A major film company will also get a lot of money if its films are released domestically.

convenient.

In general, Cheng Yu'an used his own resources in Hollywood to invest in Wuzhou Distribution. Cheng Yu'an helped Wuzhou Distribution find better Hollywood movies to introduce, and Wuzhou Distribution opened the door for a major film company's movies to be released domestically.

"I will definitely agree to this." It's a completely profitable and harmless business. You'd be a fool not to agree. At most, you can just pay some money every year. "For the details, I have to go back and talk to Ranqiu (Executive Director of Jiahe) and Fang Bing (Jiaheyuan)."

Line CEO and general manager) to discuss in detail. I will go back and make a call later, and Mr. Ye can just go back to the capital to find them."

After seeing them off the next day, Cheng Yu'an returned to the crew and continued working.

What Cheng Yu'an didn't know was that the first film that the Wuzhou Distribution group was targeting was "Jurassic World" being shot in Hawaii by a major film company. After the investment team returned from visiting "The Legend of the White Fox", they sent people to Los Angeles.
