Chapter 318 There is no hope for three years, I believe in you!
Zheng Shenzhi has already started to get busy and has ambitions to have a simultaneous global release.
The official trailer was released today, and Zheng Shenzhi also sent a fax to three companies in the United States that specialize in importing foreign films, inviting them to come and watch the film.
A blockbuster film with an investment of up to 300 million US dollars.
Two European film and television companies and film and television companies in some Southeast Asian countries have also sent invitations.
Special personnel were arranged to keep an eye on this matter, and trailers were also sent to these companies.
No one in the entire Starlight Film and Television Company dared to be careless. It was the first time for a project to be released simultaneously around the world, and everyone put 100% of their energy into it.
When customers are invited to come over, a dedicated person will be assigned to take charge.
a few days later
Jeff, the Purchasing Department Manager of Violet Pictures in the United States, received an invitation letter from Starlight Pictures and also had a phone call with people from Starlight Pictures.
Watched the official trailer via email.
Really surprised.
In Jeff's opinion, this is a standard Hollywood-style commercial blockbuster. How could China possibly make such a film?
Do the special effects companies over there have this level of quality?
After watching the trailer twice, Jeff began to collect information through the Internet and made an international long-distance call to Starlight Film and Television Company.
More than an hour later, I went to find Chairman George with my laptop in hand.
In the chairman's office, George also watched the trailer and was also very surprised.
"Jeff, please make sure you are not mistaken."
"As far as I know, China's film and television special effects are at our level 20 years ago. It is impossible for any company to produce special effects of this level."
George said this with great certainty, not to belittle China. George would go to China every year and watch no less than thirty so-called domestic blockbusters.
Those so-called blockbuster special effects are no different from garbage in George's opinion. He says they are very good, but he doesn't agree with them in his heart.
Now this trailer completely subverts George's senses.
"George, this is indeed a film produced by China Film and Television Company"
"This is a remake"
"One of their directors filmed this film, but was scolded by consumers, including the chairman of the film and television company, who also began to scold his own company."
"The chairman personally shot the film, and his slogan was no matter the cost."
"As a result, this film that is comparable to Hollywood commercial blockbusters was born."
"I think I have to go and see it for myself. If this film really reaches this level, I don't think we can let it go."
"Now that Marvel Studios dominates the world, other film companies are having a very difficult time."
"As long as the quality of the film is the same as the trailer, I think this is a good opportunity for our company to turn around."
Jeff expressed his opinion carefully, and George nodded. Indeed, if the quality of the film is really as good as the trailer, it will definitely be a good opportunity.
There is still a certain market for Chinese films in the United States, and a large number of people like to watch Chinese films, regardless of whether they are good or bad, which is amazing.
Once a blockbuster Chinese film appears, the box office will definitely be high.
"You should go to Tianchao, take a look at the finished film, and if it suits you, just buy it out." George made his decision immediately.
"Boss, I'm afraid it will be difficult this time."
"The other party didn't just send us invitations. Musketeers Pictures and Giant Bear Pictures also received their invitations."
"These two companies are not fools. Once they watch the video, they will definitely pay a big price."
"I think it's better if we come up with a share-sharing contract."
Jeff gave a clear opinion, and George frowned. Giving a share contract would mean making a lot less money.
"I give you the authorization to sign a share-sharing contract. You only have control over it. Don't sign a share-sharing contract unless you have to. Try to negotiate a buyout."
"If we can't win the European market, we must win the American market no matter what."
George watched Jeff say this, and Jeff nodded to express his understanding. After the two discussed it, Jeff went back to prepare and fly directly to China tomorrow.
Also today, Cecilia, the chairman of European Mona Lisa Pictures, boarded a flight to China.
At the International Airport in the Imperial Capital of China, Tsuruta Chang of Japan Legend Film and Television Co., Ltd. got off the plane and met outside with the people sent by Starlight Film and Television to pick him up.
Get in the car and go straight to the hotel, and then go back to the company tomorrow for movie viewing negotiations.
Starlight Film and Television Company, Zheng Shenzhi signed a sharing agreement with Sun Moon Lake Pictures of Taiwan Province, authorizing Sun Moon Lake Pictures to operate the film "Counterattack".
The release date has not yet been determined, but it is tentatively scheduled for August 12th. It depends on the outcome of negotiations between Europe and the Americas, and it will be released simultaneously around the world.
A contract was signed with ATV yesterday, and ATV will be responsible for the distribution and operation of the Hong Kong market.
While Starlight Film and Television Company was busy, Gao Jin had already arrived in Jinwei City to inspect Shengguang Solar Energy Company.
Kang Qianli published a paper on the combination of carbon molecules and silicon molecules to form a new generation of solar materials as planned. This paper did not receive any response in the country.
Internationally, it has set off a wave of discussion.
Many authoritative academies of science have published comments, affirming Kang Qianli's research, and believe that Kang Qianli's paper provides a new idea for the currently stagnant solar energy technology.
Of course, there are many comments that think Kang Qianli is unrealistic, and many of them are very famous scientists.
Controversy is a good thing, and it is inevitable that the relevant departments will discover the hot discussion of the paper abroad.
Gao Jin came here this time because it was Wei Mingyang who called me to come and talk. Tell us how far you have developed new solar materials.
Do you need funds? If so, Jinwei City can increase a R&D fund subsidy of one billion.
Gao Jin hung up the phone and was stunned for a moment, feeling very sick.
Subsidies are not easy to get. If you get them, you must give something in return. Gao Jin will definitely not be willing to share profits with anyone.
Wei Mingyang made the call himself. It would be impossible without a trip to Jinwei City.
In this way, Gao Jin arrived in Jinwei City and reported back in Wei Mingyang's office. Meng Guangxian was also there.
It is just an idea now, and the research has not yet started. The current funds are sufficient and no subsidies are needed for the time being.
Seeing Gao Jin's eloquent explanation, Meng Guangxian couldn't help but want to laugh. Wei Mingyang gave Meng Guangxian a look, and Meng Guangxian held back.
"Gaojin, technology can only bring profits if it is converted into commodities, but it cannot bring any profits if it is sealed in a laboratory."
Wei Mingyang nodded and advanced, the meaning is very simple, don't think that we don't know anything.
"Senior official, we really haven't made a breakthrough now and we still need to continue research and development."
"If it really succeeds, I will definitely convert the results into commodities as soon as possible to make money. The laboratory costs a lot and I am under great financial pressure, so I will definitely not seal it up."
Gao Jin kept his mouth shut but wouldn't let go.
"Really? Why did the patent application you submitted last month include related technologies?"
Meng Guangxian couldn't help but say something on the side. Gao Jin was stunned for a moment, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face.
Wei Mingyang smiled, boy, you are still young. Patents need to be reviewed. As long as you apply, it is easy to deduce your progress.
It's impossible not to admit it. Besides, we are not trying to take away your scientific research results.
I just want to know when you plan to launch it on the market so that you can plan in advance to deal with the impact of product technology upgrades. Is it necessary for you to be so cautious?
"Our research institute has made a breakthrough, but the cost is too high. With the same size, the cost is more than 40 times that of Shengguang solar panels."
"Although the efficiency has been greatly improved, this cost price cannot be used for commercial use. For the time being, it can only be sealed and continued research and development."
Gao Jin could only say this. Wei Mingyang and Meng Guangxian nodded and looked at each other. The Solar Energy Research Institute had indeed made a breakthrough.
Even though the cost has not come down now, the efficiency is too scary.
According to tests by relevant departments, if the performance of Xingling Group's product is true, all domestic coal and hydropower can be stopped, and the country's electricity consumption can be solved by relying solely on light energy.
The cost is estimated to be only half of that of coal power and hydropower, and will not exceed this standard.
This is not a trivial matter, and the country must be prepared in advance. Once this incredible product is launched, it will have a huge impact on the solar panel industry, coal power, and hydropower industries.
"When is the expected breakthrough time?" Wei Mingyang asked.
"There is no hope in the past three years. This time's results are a fluke. More than 30 similar experiments have been conducted in the laboratory, but no results have been achieved."
“It’s hard”
Gao Jin said this with a serious expression on his face. Wei Mingyang looked at Gao Jin and didn't believe Gao Jin's words at all.
After three years of no hope, I believe you are a ghost!
According to the previous analysis of the research and development progress of monocrystalline silicon solar panels, I am afraid that you will make a breakthrough soon. If you do not announce it now, I am afraid that you will only release this product on the market in order to make enough profit from monocrystalline silicon products.
After chatting with Gao Jin for a while, they sent Gao Jin off, and Wei Mingyang and Meng Guangxian returned to the office.
"Do you believe what he said?" Wei Mingyang looked at Meng Guangxian and asked.
"To be honest, I only believed half of it"
"The Solar Energy Comprehensive Research Institute is very powerful and it will definitely not take three years. We must make arrangements in advance. Otherwise, the shock wave caused by the launch of the product will definitely not be small."
Meng Guangxian said this with a serious expression.
"It's pretty much what I thought. This guy is obsessed with money."
"However, we don't need to worry for the time being. Once the product is launched, he will definitely sell the product abroad as soon as possible and earn those high value-added currencies."
"In a short period of time, the product will definitely not be launched in China."
Wei Mingyang said this with a smile, knowing Gao Jin clearly. Even though the Gao family and his son were so rich, Gao Jin's greed for money had not diminished at all.
"Old Wei, don't be careless about this matter."
"Once the electricity consumption abroad is greatly reduced, we will be very uncomfortable." Meng Guangxian looked at Wei Mingyang and said this with profound meaning.
Wei Mingyang was stunned, thought carefully, and nodded seriously.
“Prepare in advance”
"Dianhu is still raising electricity prices. If foreign electricity prices are reduced and domestic electricity prices are increased, we will become a global laughing stock."
"You are right to remind us that we must make adjustments in advance. At the very least, when this kind of solar panel comes on the market, we must reduce its impact on the domestic industry."
Wei Mingyang said this with a solemn expression. Seeing that Wei Mingyang understood what he meant, Meng Guangxian's expression relaxed a lot.
