In the eyes of Han Sanping, Chen Kaige and Tang Jili, whether it is Chu Xuan or Wang Jinhua, 15 million is nothing to them.
Although they don't meet often, through their understanding, Chu Xuan, Liu Yifei, Liu Xiaoli and Wang Jinhua are from the same family. It is said that they even buy villas and live together.
As a matter of fact, Wang Jinhua spent 15 million as a graduation gift for Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei. They were not surprised, so they didn't say much.
"Sister, you are grand." Chu Xuan said. Although this was just a small amount of money for Sister Hua, he still felt warm and touched. After all, the money was a gift for his and Liu Yifei's graduation project, which was very meaningful.
"Teacher Zeng, I think we can add two more minutes of special effects." He hesitated.
"I'll kick you to death." Wang Jinhua didn't know whether to laugh or cry. With her arms wrapped around her, she raised her leg and kicked Chu Xuan gently.
"Anyway, it's your sister who spends the money, so she can do more." Zhang Jizhong joked.
"I'm so greedy. I don't have enough money to spend your sister's money. I'm so sorry." Liu Xiaoli patted Chu Xuan on the back of the head and made a joke. Her movements were very light and a little doting.
Wang Jinhua looked at Liu Xiaoli's gentle patting of Chu Xuan and joked: "Mother-in-law taught you a good lesson."
Liu Yifei arched her eyebrows and covered her mouth with a smile.
The corners of Chen Kaige's mouth gradually raised, feeling a little happy for the interesting exchange between the family.
Under the leadership of Zhang Jizhong, a group of people walked towards the office.
"Including 95 administrative staff and hardware, the current annual expenditure is 20 million." Chen Kaige and Zhang Jizhong walked into the office.
"Based on the special effects budget of Xiaoxuan's micro-movie just now, it's 15 million for four months and 45 million for a year. It's a good profit." Tang Jili said, entering side by side with Han Sanping.
"It's not enough. I heard that Hollywood special effects companies earn hundreds of millions of dollars a year. There is still a big gap between us and them," said a channel shareholder.
"Teacher Zeng just said that Hollywood has a very large rendering farm with tens of thousands of computers and thousands of technicians. This is the goal. With the development of the bright era, film and television companies are also slowly developing. It is time to purchase more machines.
Just add more, and when the time comes to hire people, hire them." Han Sanping said, sitting down on the sofa with a group of people.
After hearing his words, everyone nodded in agreement.
The times are developing, and Bright Times must adapt to the development of the times, and its subsidiaries will naturally develop accordingly.
It doesn't matter how far it can develop, but there is nothing wrong with looking at it from a proactive perspective and making preparations.
At this moment, Chen Kaige turned to the last page of the literary script "Hope" and read it in a hurry. However, he looked at Chu Xuan with the same gentle smile on his face.
"Xiao Xuan, although Teacher Liu Yi broke up the story, this script essentially contains three story stages. Do you have any ideas?" he said.
Like Liu Yi and Huang Lei, as a great director, Chen Kaige saw through the essence of the story structure of the "Hope" micro-movie at a glance.
Chu Xuan was not impressed by Chen Kaige's insight into the story structure of the script. As long as someone has knowledge of the script, it is not difficult to see through the story structure of the "Hope" script.
"If this micro-movie has a good response in the market, Sissi and I would like to use this micro-movie as a basis, split it into three stories, and then make a disaster + science fiction trilogy." He said.
Chen Kaige looked surprised. He only used his own experience to guess what Chu Xuan was thinking, but he didn't expect that Chu Xuan's ideas were so big.
Wang Jinhua, Han Sanping and others who were communicating with each other were attracted by Chu Xuan's topic. They turned their heads and looked at Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei.
"Why do you have such an idea?" Han Sanping asked. He has been engaged in the film industry for decades and has had the idea of industrializing film and television since the 1990s. He has always been interested in the series of movie universes that can best interpret the industrialization of film and television.
very interested.
He asked Chu Xuan's sudden idea of making a series of movies.
"The value of "Xinlang Micro-Entertainment" has gone from one billion last year to nearly 10 billion this year. The increase is staggering. Bright Times has 15% of the shares. With the growth of "Xinlang Micro-Entertainment"
The value continues to rise, and Brilliant Era has the confidence to take the series film brand route and be able to withstand failure," said Chu Xuan.
Everyone nodded, this is indeed true.
In less than a year, the value of "Xinlang Micro-Entertainment" has increased nearly ten times. It is foreseeable that the value of this unicorn product will rise higher and higher in the following years.
Bright Times has fifteen points of shares, which is what distinguishes Bright Times from all entertainment companies in the country, and is also the absolute advantage of Bright Times.
This advantage was also the core factor why they agreed to join the game without much consideration when Wang Jinhua invited them.
Indeed, as Chu Xuan said, Brilliant Times has the qualifications and background to follow a development path that is different from other entertainment companies.
"Have you considered the market?" Han Sanping asked again. Even if The Brilliant Era has the confidence, and even if the series of movies interests him, the movie is not made as soon as it is made, nor is it made, let alone released.
If it reaches the box office, it will definitely explode.
If there is no plan, no plan, everything is nonsense.
Chu Xuan glanced at Liu Yifei, and Liu Yifei blinked, knowing that this was Chu Xuan's opportunity for her to perform in front of her seniors, so she took Han Sanping's question and recalled the ideas she had initially discussed with Chu Xuan.
.
"If the response to the micro-movie is good, we can start coordinating the script in the second half of this year. In 2007, we will start preparing to build a studio and coordinate the costumes, scene composition and construction."
"If everything goes well, filming can start in the second half of 2007. Chu Xuan and I read some movie magazines. Whether it is a disaster film or a science fiction film with heavy special effects, more than 70% of the scenes are shot in the studio.
, so the shooting time is very short and can be completed in two or three months.”
"After the filming is completed, post-production and special effects production will be carried out in 2008, and it will be released in 2009."
Chu Xuan continued: "Teacher Kai Ge's "The Promise" has a box office of nearly 200 million. This is the result in 2005. What about 2006? What about 2008 and then 2009? I believe that by 2009, with the improvement of the domestic economic level,
, with the increase in the number of theater screens, it is not a dream for the box office market to reach 1 billion."
Liu Yifei added: "Based on the 2.5 times movie bill-sharing benchmark rule, as long as the cost of the movie is kept within 400 million, Chu Xuan and I think we can give it a try."
Wang Jinhua and Chen Kaige listened and saw the extremely serious look of Liu Yifei, who was only 18 years old. The corners of the mouths of the people present were slightly raised, and they were both amused and moved at the same time.
Especially Chen Kaige and Han Sanping, they suddenly felt a little emotional.
I think when they first entered the Beijing Film Studio, they were still around 17, 18 or 19 years old. They had a little bit of imagination about film and television, so they immediately ran to the teachers and talked loudly. Most of them were scolded by the teachers.
But it is precisely because of such reveries and visions of the future that they have reached today step by step.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's coordinated words, each being so young, and having clearly judged the market analysis, inexplicably made the two of them look like they would be the future successors in the film and television industry.
Han Sanping and Chen Kaige looked at each other and said, "Don't talk about it yet, it's theoretically possible."
Chen Kaige smiled and said: "What do you do this year, what do you do next year, and what do you do the year after that, including box office expectations. It's very good. You have the basic qualities to be a film producer."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei looked humble, while Wang Jinhua and Liu Xiaoli felt relieved.
"Have you considered the industrial foundation of the film?" Tang Jili suddenly asked.
Chu Xuan glanced at Han Sanping and said: "Mr. Han mentioned the concept of film and television industrialization. I don't have the ability to understand what Mr. Han means. Bright Times currently doesn't have the ability to think about the national film and television industrialization. But Bright Times is ours
My company is borrowing a science fiction movie to try to industrialize the film and television industry of the Brilliant Era, and I think we can give it a try."
Han Sanping's eyes lit up, he reached out and tapped Chu Xuan, agreeing: "This is a good idea!"
Chen Kaige looked at Han Sanping and said with a smile: "Mr. Han is wholeheartedly committed to promoting the industrialization process. Xiaoxuan's idea is exactly what Mr. Han wants, and he is moved."
He is aware of Han Sanping's concept of film and television industrialization, but if he wants to overturn the existing system of the entire country's film and television industry and go to an unfamiliar system to create film and television dramas, the investment and energy involved can be imagined, and the risks are huge.
At least, he believes that Han Sanping's concept of film and television industrialization is currently unachievable.
Moreover, Huaying Group is a state-owned enterprise, backed by the state. The group’s senior leaders want political achievements. If they want to carry out such an industrial restructuring, who will bear the responsibility if it fails?
The most important thing is that domestic private enterprises are unwilling. Industrialization requires money, a lot of money.
Because of this, Han Sanping also encountered many constraints in Huaying.
But after Chu Xuan reminded me, don’t build big ones, start small ones first. Let’s ignore the domestic entertainment industry for the time being, but we can always try industrialization in our own brilliant era, right?
If it succeeds, Bright Times will be firmly established as a leading entertainment company and will also be a benchmark company in the national entertainment industry, and everyone will be happy.
If it fails, Youxilang Micro Entertainment will take the bottom line and cash out the shares, and Brilliant Times will be able to come back to life.
Han Sanping glanced at the crowd and said, "I am indeed moved."
Everyone smiled slightly and glanced at Chu Xuan.
The previous micro-entertainment was a chain-linked plan, and the current micro-film is also a chain-linked plan.
Not to mention whether this plan can be successful, but this idea also made them look at it with suspicion.
It's still the same Chu Xuan, this young man can always think of things that others can't think of, and he has logic and plans.
We also need to add Liu Yifei, who can discuss this plan with Chu Xuan. Compared with the innocent little girl when the brilliant era was established a year and a half ago, after more than a year of growth, vision, and improvement in structure, she has become
He has grown to another level, far beyond his peers.
"Jinhua, what do you think?" Han Sanping looked at Wang Jinhua. Wang Jinhua and Chu Xuan were the controlling shareholders. Even if he was interested in industrialization, he still wanted Wang Jinhua's approval.
"A detailed charter is needed." Wang Jinhua said with a smile. She was surprised by Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei's plan, but she agreed with Chu Xuan's point of view that Bright Era is qualified to take an unusual path, not like Huayi and others.
The company's regular development path.
The so-called industrialization sounds like a big word, but if it is limited to one company, and it is a company that you are responsible for, and there are many senior filmmakers to help you, then it is not a bad idea.
"Based on this incident, it originated from the micro-movie "Hope". In the past, the special effects for big scenes were done by foreign special effects teams. Now Jinhua is spending money. This micro-movie with a special effects cost of 15 million, this is completely
We have to see how the special effects movies produced by our domestic special effects team will be presented in detail," said Chen Kaige.
"It's useless to talk about the charter now. When the micro-movie "Hope" is produced, we can see it with our own eyes and see if it's a mule or a horse. We'll discuss it later," he added.
Han Sanping agreed with Chen Kaige's words and said to Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei: "shoot well, do well, and go all out to complete the plan you made."
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei nodded, with passion igniting in their eyes.
"When will the filming take place? Where is the venue?" Chen Kaige tilted his head and looked at the two of them.
Chu Xuan was startled, then thought about it and said: "Around March next year, the studio of Yunnan Tianlong Film and Television City."
"I'll come and take a look then." Chen Kaige said.
"If I have time, I'll come over and take a look," Tang Jili said.
Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei were stunned for a moment, then nodded happily. It would be a good thing if these two could guide the filming of the micro-film.
At this point, the communication about the film plan proposed by Chu Xuan and Liu Yifei, brought out by Chen Kaige, has been temporarily ended, and everything will be discussed after the micro-movie is produced.
Next, everyone spent some time talking freely about the special effects company.
It wasn't until it was getting late that they all left.
…
…
At night, the low temperature near zero exudes a chill.
Even though the window was closed and the quilt was pulled tightly, Chu Xuan still felt a little cold when he first got into the quilt.
Chu Xuan endured the cold, his face was calm, his eyes floated slightly, as if listening.
After about ten minutes, the door was closed tightly, and the sound of closing the door came in.
After hearing this sound, another two minutes passed and there was no movement outside. Chu Xuan opened the quilt, and with the cold air hitting his face, he put on his shoes and tiptoed to the door slowly.
He opened the door and looked at the door opposite. There was still light under the door.
He walked out of the door, slowly closed the door, gently turned the doorknob and closed the door silently.
Immediately, Chu Xuan arrived at the end of the corridor, opened the door of Liu Yifei's room and walked in instantly, as if he was treading on snow without leaving a trace.
Liu Yifei was leaning on the back of the bed, reading the script of "Hope" in her hand.
Hearing the movement, she looked over, and Chu Xuan quickly got into bed and got under the quilt.
"I'm so cold." Chu Xuan said.
Liu Yifei lowered her head, and Chu Xuan lay on the pillow, nestling under the quilt to keep warm.
Liu Yifei showed her face slightly, held the script with her left hand, and stretched out her right hand to touch Chu Xuan's face.
"Your room doesn't have air conditioning. Mom thought she could live in a villa after a while, so she didn't buy another air conditioner," she said.
Chu Xuan warmed up under the quilt, and Liu Yifei's room was filled with warmth. He then poked his head out of the quilt, sat up again, and leaned on the back of the bed side by side with Liu Yifei.
"I learned a lot today." Liu Yifei leaned on Chu Xuan's neck, stretched out her left hand to hold Chu Xuan's waist, and held Chu Xuan's hand with her right hand.
"When we were doing the preliminary work of "Zhu Xian", we just talked about the story. After today's experience, we have been told that we should incorporate special effects ideas into our thinking when doing similar work in the future." She played with Chu Xuan's fingers.
, kept kneading, and made fun little moves that only belonged to the two of them.
"Producer Liu is right." Chu Xuan put his arm around Liu Yifei's shoulders.
Liu Yifei raised her head, her forehead pressed against Chu Xuan's face, and said: "We have to shoot the micro-movie well, and then supervise the post-production to make the special effects the best. I believe the audience will like it. As long as the response is good and Sister Hua supports it, there will be
With the help of the teachers, our science fiction plan will slowly be realized."
Chu Xuan nodded slowly and said: "Not only the science fiction plan, but also our magic plan."
The corners of Liu Yifei's lips gradually turned up, and she nodded "Yes". Thinking that she would go to many businesses with Chu Xuan in the future that were developed by the two of them, she felt very happy and looked forward to it.
"Go to sleep, I have something to do tomorrow."
"Um."
Liu Yifei twisted her body and reached out to turn off the light, leaving only a faint moonlight shining on the edge of the bed in the room.
"Good night."
"Good night."
The two of them said "good night" to each other under the quilt and fell asleep hugging each other.
