Ordinary consumers who buy cars or SUVs may think that Dongfeng Motors are not very good and cannot be put on the market, but the heavy trucks and light trucks they produce are very good and suitable for movies.
When we think of special effects, we often think of computers. In fact, there is another kind called physical special effects.
For example, making a gun, protective clothing, sleep chamber, and exoskeleton are all physical effects.
When I was filming "The Wandering Earth", I originally wanted to modify this truck into a physical truck, but after going to the factory to inspect it, I found that the budget was not enough.
So how did you shoot it later?
I found a car, removed the casing, and used the computer to install the casing of the vehicle... There are many ways to survive.
Why is Hollywood so awesome? It’s because its computer special effects are first-rate, and its physical special effects are also first-rate. The combination of the two can recreate the world with fakes being real.
Although "The Wandering Earth" is ground-breaking, if you look carefully at the special effects, you will see that there are many unclear areas. There is no way and no money. But it is different now, Master Yao is here!
The total cost of the original version plus publicity and distribution is only RMB 400-500 million, while top Hollywood blockbusters start at US$200 million.
Yao Yuan's mental budget is about 800 million, 99 will contribute 70%, and China Film will contribute 30%. Without other people, even if the original box office is 4.6 billion, he will still make money in the end.
In fact, it doesn’t matter if you don’t make money, as long as you lose, you lose.
Others can't bear it, but he can.
And as Guo Fan continued to explain, each of the problems that were worrying him to death were solved, and the solution was the most primitive power: money!
He suddenly discovered that he might be fighting an unprecedented battle for wealth.
"There is also this exoskeleton for soldiers. Although the design has not been completed yet, we have some preliminary ideas. Can this be done?"
When Guo Fan asked again, a guy who had been silent for a long time suddenly said: "Leave it to us!"
"Can you do it?"
"We haven't tried it, but don't worry, leave it to us!"
Um?
When Guo Fan saw the sign in front of him that read "WG Special Effects Company", he couldn't help but twitch.
WG, the full name is Wheat growth, which translates to "wheat growth". No need to ask, this is the special effects team of 99 Entertainment.
He nodded at the other party, indicating that they would communicate after the meeting. After all, they would be working together for a long time in the future.
This meeting lasted for a long time. After researching and explaining the film one by one, the representatives of the national team unknowingly became a little interested, because there has never been a film made in this way in China before.
XCMG, in particular, has become more proactive and seems to think it would be very interesting to magically modify its own machinery in movies.
There are also a few non-national team members who are responsible for small items.
ROG, the Republic of Gamers, a high-end computer brand owned by ASUS, contracted to display computer equipment in the movie.
EDIFIER, an audio equipment company, covers speakers and headphones for movies.
Meizu naturally has one, too, and will contribute several sci-fi concept-level balancing cars.
The equipment we are studying today needs to be designed in detail and then handed over to them for manufacturing.
It is said that this is the industrialization of film, but in fact it can only be regarded as half industrialization, and it belongs more to the power of the system. When the crew can handle most things by themselves, when will it be considered successful?
"I am 35 years old, majoring in law, and have made two movies. Thanks to the trust of Mr. Yao, Mr. Yu and other experts, I sit here and listen to my whims as a stupid young man.
I have nothing to repay, I can only say that I will give it my all for "The Wandering Earth" and I will definitely live up to everyone's expectations!"
Finally, Guo Fan bowed sincerely.
……………………
Wensha is qualified to be the CEO of Tudou Live, and Liu Weiwei has been transferred back.
In addition to WeChat and Weibo, 99 Network Technology also has short videos - many people say that the name of Tudou Short Video is not good, so here is a collection.
Yao Yuan initially formed a technical team of 50 people to specialize in algorithm research.
Liu Weiwei has done some preparatory work and is currently studying with Yao Yuan in the office. In fact, Yao Yuan is still taking the lead, which is why he gave up on Zhang Yiming.
Kuaishou and Douyin took many detours in the early days, and if he wanted his short videos to develop quickly and occupy the market in a short period of time, he needed an obedient manager with strong execution capabilities.
This is difficult for Zhang Yiming, but Liu Weiwei is very suitable.
"I analyzed the top 100 UP owners of Maili fans and made a report on what types of content are most popular on the Internet now."
Liu Weiwei calmly took the coffee from Jiang Chao and said: "It's completely beyond imagination. Repairing donkey hooves, digging barnacles, washing carpets, forging knives, felling wood, and building cabins. These inconspicuous things actually occupied the area.
A lot of traffic, although ranked at the bottom.
The ones on the head are food and the two overlords of the game.
In the middle are political affairs, economy, history and culture, strange stories, outdoor, film and television commentary, sports, etc., which are relatively routine. Female users are relatively targeted and are more interested in food, beauty, celebrities, cute pets, etc.
But they do not fully conform to the short video model. Short videos have their own requirements. If you want to retain users within a minute and attract traffic quickly, I think you need to prepare at least three types of content:
Original funny jokes;
News information that can arouse topics;
Big boobs and beautiful legs!
We provide incentives and support to creators, and after initial traffic flow, we will slowly add the above-mentioned things.
Oh, by the way, I think we should launch a live broadcast function from the beginning. Let celebrities come to live broadcast, which can drive a lot of traffic. Wensha is talking with SNH48 to let those little idols come to our place to live broadcast."
"..."
Yao Yuan listened and agreed with everything else. He only corrected one thing: "There is no need to add slowly, no need to prioritize. If there is content, just upload it together. What we are playing is a cramming APP."
He picked up his phone, opened Kuaishou again, and said: "Looking at their page, it is this kind of static picture (the previous article has been corrected), click on it to see the video, it is too traditional.
What I have to do is open a short video, slide up and down, slide one away to change another, slide away one to change another, and then the algorithm will figure out your preferences."
"That's it..."
Liu Weiwei sorted it out and nodded: "I understand what you mean, okay, I will prepare according to these."
"I believe in your abilities, and you must also have confidence in yourself."
Yao Yuan smiled and asked, "How do you feel about coming back? Are you uncomfortable?"
"Fortunately, even Han Tao is a hard worker and is clamoring to be transferred back."
"Ha, no problem. Tudou Live doesn't need him anyway. It was just because you two were separated that we let him go. Hey, speaking of which, you don't want a child?"
"Stabilize it a little more and wait for the short video..."
As Liu Weiwei was talking, there was suddenly a burst of chaotic footsteps outside. The two of them were stunned and turned to look. Cheng Wei ran in, his fat face twisted into a ball, and he cried when he saw his adoptive father:
