Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were sitting on the sofa. Liu Xiaoli hadn't come to call them yet. They were still watching the news on the computer to pass the time.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
The door was closed, and when they heard the sound and looked around, Liu Yi and Wen Muye walked in.
Looking at the script in their hands, Liu Yifei stood up and said with a smile: "Brother Liu, has the script been written?"
Liu Yi smiled, nodded, and handed the two copied scripts to the two of them.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei took it and took a look. The script had a famous cover - "Hope".
Based on their science fiction story, the title of this micro-movie directly points to the topic.
They also approved it and opened the script and read a few pages.
"This person is interesting."
"The plot is so interesting."
"There's really a fight scene."
"Sorry, I hit you."
Liu Yifei looked at Chu Xuan with a smile. Chu Xuan looked at her and said, "Kiss me."
Liu Yifei raised her eyebrows and said mischievously: "It depends on your mood."
Chu Xuan shook his head, and just as he was about to speak, Liu Xiaoli walked in from the door.
"Gone." she said.
Chu Xuan closed the script and handed it to Liu Yifei. Liu Yifei took it and put it into her small backpack together with her own script.
"Kino, make a budget based on the script. Please ask Brother Liu and the teachers for advice on the composition of the scene. If you have any questions, call us." Chu Xuan pulled out the lever of the suitcase.
"Okay." Wen Muye nodded.
"Brother Liu, please help me when you have time." Chu Xuan looked at Liu Yi and said.
Liu Yiyang raised the script in his hand and said: "You are the producers of "Hope", and I am also the chief screenwriter of "Hope"."
Hearing this, Chu Xuan nodded and said no more.
"Brother Liu, Kino, are gone."
The group of people walked out of the room. Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei pulled their suitcases and waved at the door, saying goodbye for now.
After meeting Zeng Zhengzong and Zheng Min at the entrance of the hotel, everyone took a car to the airport.
Zhang Jizhong's special effects company was merged into the Brilliant Era Film and Television Company. Zeng Zhengzong, as the technical director of the special effects company, naturally had to go back when the company was merged.
Zheng Min heard that Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei wanted to know the details of special effects production, and because Chu Xuan said that her original painting class would be affiliated with a film and television company, she was secretly interested, so she also went along.
The rest of the special effects team members stayed on the "Zhu Xian" crew and continued to communicate with the crew about post-production special effects without delaying the crew's filming.
Just like that, a plane took off from Xiaoshan Airport in Hangcheng, Zhejiang Province at noon, and landed at Beijing Airport after a two-hour flight.
"Chu Xuan! Liu Yifei!"
"Your "The Condor" is finally going to be broadcast. I've been waiting for it for a long time!"
"I will definitely keep an eye on it!"
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei waved hello to the crowd and immediately stepped into the nanny car that came to greet them.
The nanny car drove onto the road and sped along.
Half an hour later, the nanny van stopped at the Shangri-La Hotel.
Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and Liu Xiaoli got out of the car, and the nanny car took Zeng Zhengzong and Zheng Min to the special effects company.
Under the guidance of the waiter, they came to a private room.
The waiter knocked on the door and knocked on the door, and the shareholders or shareholders' agents of Brilliant Times were there.
Wang Jinhua, Zhang Jizhong, Chen Kaige, Tang Jili, Han Sanping, and three channel shareholders.
"Sister, Mr. Han, Brother Zhang, Teacher Kai Ge, Director Tang..." Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei greeted each other one by one.
Everyone bowed their heads slightly. Except for Wang Jinhua and Zhang Jizhong, everyone looked at the couple Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei with a slightly aunty smile.
Because they didn't meet often, it was doubly interesting to hear that these two young people went together every day.
At least in the entertainment industry, there are almost no such couples. Anyway, apart from this pair, they have never heard of other couples like this.
"Let's eat first, and then we'll go to Brother Zhang's company to have a look later." Wang Jinhua said, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli nodded.
The affairs of the film and television company were handled by Sister Hua, and Chu Xuan was happy and free.
While Star City was preparing for the New Year's Eve party, Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei also learned about the situation of the film and television company from Sister Hua.
Bright Times invested RMB 80 million, occupying 80% of the shares and controlling the shares.
All of Zhang Jizhong's special effects company's machines, long-term contract talents, special effects preset library copyrights and professional-grade servers were converted into 20 million funds, and he occupied 20% of the shares of the film and television company in the form of technical shares.
Among the 80% shares of Bright Times, 29% of the shares are partly used as long-term shares that can be converted into original shares to attract directors, producers, screenwriters and other teachers to join; part of them are used as a share pool to attract technical talents to join.
.
Sister Hua took care of these equity matters very well, so Chu Xuan didn't have to worry about them, which saved a lot of trouble.
After the meal, everyone left the hotel with Sister Hua and Zhang Jizhong and went to Zhang Jizhong's Zewanda Special Effects Company.
In order to expand his business territory, Zhang Jizhong was willing to spend money on special effects. He gave his company three hundred professional-grade special effects computers. These computers were not available on the market and needed to be customized.
The office building where Bright Times is located does not have enough floor space to accommodate these machines. After discussing with the shareholders, Sister Hua decided to directly change the Zewanda signboard to Bright Times Film and Television Company. The office space will remain in the original office building.
Not moving for now.
"Hello, bosses." The company's senior executives greeted them at the door of the office building, including Zeng Zhengzong, who welcomed Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei and others into the elevator and arrived at the company door.
A group of people walked in, causing the technicians sitting in front of the computers to look curiously.
We had been notified long ago that the company would change its business, and it didn't matter to people like them who were doing special effects, as long as they kept their jobs and wouldn't be laid off.
After all, these days, it’s hard for film and television special effects people to find a stable job.
They also heard that their company would be merged into the film and television company of Brilliant Era. Brilliant Era? That was a star company in the entertainment industry, and they also had high expectations.
Now I see the future bosses coming here. I took a few glances at the people coming. I don’t count the ones I don’t recognize, but the ones I know are all the big guys.
Wang Jinhua, the legendary agent in the entertainment industry? Han Sanping, the founder of Chinese movies? Chen Kaige, who is on par with Zhang Yimou? Tang Jili, who led Chenglong to Hollywood?
Hiss, this lineup is a bit broken.
——The future is secure.
Many employees were very excited.
"Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei." Their eyes lit up when they saw Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
Compared to directors, big stars make people feel more familiar and approachable.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked at the office room. This office room was connected one after another. When they looked at it, they were all computers.
And there is a turning aisle at the top, so the computer is a little bit out of sight.
Chen Kaige looked at it and said: "When I was filming "The Promise", I suffered from the special effects. There was no special effects team on the crew, and some shots were not shot according to the special effects lenses. As a result, the pictures and special effects were not perfect. Communication during post-production was not good.
The time cost is too high and I wasted several months of my time.”
Everyone laughed, "The Promise" is Chen Kaige's transformation. He used to make literary films, and the previous literary films did not need special effects. Chen Kaige also stepped into a trap in terms of special effects.
"The domestic box office of nearly 200 million is twice as high as my "Myth". It is very successful." Tang Jili said.
"Director Tang is laughing at me. At least your "Myth" has a much better reputation than my "The Promise"." Chen Kaige said warmly. He spoke slowly as always and had a gentle look on his face.
"My "The Promise" was a bad movie." He added, mocking himself without changing his expression.
The corners of everyone's mouths raised slightly, then calmed down.
"The Promise" has only been released not long ago, and its reputation is really not good. It can be regarded as a failure of Chen Kaige's transformation.
However, it can still win the top box office despite having a bad reputation, which certainly has its merits.
At least, few viewers criticized the scenes of "The Promise", and few professional filmmakers said that the light and shadow effects of "The Promise" were not good. There were also supportive voices saying that the light and shadow art of "The Promise" was world-class.
But no matter what, the scolding from the audience still made Chen Kaige very frustrated. He is currently in a bad mood.
"What kind of special effects are you doing?" Wang Jinhua crossed her arms and stood behind a technician on short high heels.
In the picture of the computer software, dark clouds were swirling, and the black clouds were overwhelming the city, while lightning and thunder thundered in the vortex in the center, revealing a thunder snake. A bolt of lightning suddenly fell down, carrying a sword in the lightning.
"This is a special effects shot in "Zhu Xian"." Zeng Zhengzong replied.
"The special effects are not up to movie standards, but they are top-notch on TV." Han Sanping said while looking at the special effects on the computer.
He looked at the frame number grid on the software again and said, "Twelve frames per second."
He looked at Chu Xuan and said: ""Zhu Xian" has a special effects fund reserve of 35 million yuan, how much is the budget?"
Everyone also looked at Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan said: "The original budget was 28 million, but the special effects company was merged into the film and television company, which reduced outsourcing costs and other additional expenses. The current budget is 22 million, no more, no less."
Han Sanping nodded and said: ""Zhu Xian" is a bit interesting. It has a group of fairy heroes and focuses on special effects. It is the first domestic film. Other companies do not understand special effects and will not spend money to focus on special effects. If "Zhu Xian" is successful, the Brilliant Era can begin.
Xianxia is a unique brand of Xianxia genre films, and Xianxia still has a market."
Zhang Jizhong said: "Sooner or later, martial arts will decline. Almost everything that should be filmed has been filmed. It is foreseeable that Xianxia, as an extension of martial arts, will replace martial arts."
Zhang Jizhong, who focuses on martial arts, said this, and everyone nodded and recognized his point of view.
"Mr. Chu, Producer Liu, don't you want to understand the detailed process of special effects production?" Zeng Zhengzong looked at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei and said.
Chu Xuan turned his head and said to Liu Yifei: "The storyboard of "Hope"."
Liu Yifei turned her small backpack around, unzipped it, took out the script and handed it to Chu Xuan.
After Chu Xuan took it, he handed it to Zeng Zhengzong and said, "Teacher Zeng, please choose any special effects shot in this script to demonstrate."
"Has the script been written?" Zeng Zhengzong smiled and took the script.
""Hope"? What kind of script is this?" Chen Kaige looked at it and asked.
"The science fiction script is also my and Chu Xuan's graduation micro-film work." Liu Yifei blinked.
"Science fiction?" Chen Kaige was stunned for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth.
Wang Jinhua, Han Sanping, Tang Jili and Zhang Jizhong also expressed interest.
