After more than half a year of renovation, the Fantasy Film Company has now taken on a completely new look and is no longer the junkyard it once was. Especially when millions of renovation costs were poured in, the effect is definitely quite good!
The first floor, which is the office area, is clean and bright. The marble floors of each office are eye-catching, the Italian chandeliers are beautiful, the exquisite wallpapers, and the complete office equipment make you feel the earth-shaking changes here.
The second floor is used as a conference area. The design is even more novel and unique. The fully automated large-screen conference room can accommodate nearly a hundred people to study proposals together. The projectors and audio equipment are all the most advanced in the United States. It should be noted that in addition to
In addition to meetings, there are also leisure and entertainment areas, fitness rooms, and cafes.
The third floor is the company's newly established copy factory, which mainly includes the editing room and production workshop. As the editing room for making samples, it has the most advanced computer system. The production workshop is completely modern mechanical operation, with high efficiency and action.
quick.
Of course, the three floors of Fantasy Pictures have been able to undergo such big changes because "money" is basically at play, especially after Yi Feiyang received more than 20 million U.S. dollars in film credits from Paramount Pictures.
10 million went in and was mainly used in computer special effects editing and computer animation creation.
Many people don't understand this, including Rabbit Bill, Fat Jack and others. They think this is a waste of money. You must know that 10 million US dollars can be used to shoot a dozen movies worth millions, or to invite a
A superstar who earns tens of millions from his movie credits starts filming a blockbuster movie.
Yi Feiyang's opposition to the big guys is understandable, because the biggest difference between him and them is that Yi Feiyang can see the future development trend of Hollywood movies, but they can't.
In the future Hollywood, all kinds of super blockbusters will be rampant, such as "Iron Man", "Spider-Man", "Transformers", "Battleship", etc., which one does not use computer special effects?
In the future of Hollywood, various animated masterpieces stand out among the crowd, such as "Despicable Me", "How to Drive the Dragon", "Wreck-It Ralph", "The Croods", etc., which one does not rely on computer animation to become famous?
!
Therefore, from the beginning, Yi Feiyang planned to build his own movie animation special effects aircraft carrier, and these two parts are the iron-clad foundation!
Yi Feiyang spends money here like water. For Gao Bibao, who is the financial manager, it is really a waste of money!
Think about it. Of the original 54 million U.S. dollars, 24 million was used to buy theaters, and 10 million was used to develop computer special effects and computer animation. Now there is only 10 million left to support the family; if it had been put aside in the past, the entire
There are only a dozen people in the company, and even if there is no work for three years, they can still survive by eating, drinking, and eating. However, contrary to expectations, thirty more people were suddenly added. The fat man did a rough calculation, and the annual salary expenses alone were 400.
It’s over 10,000 yuan, not to mention other expenses. Let alone three years, I probably won’t be able to last even one year!
It can be said that Fantasy Film Company, from a small company that was not very popular in the past, suddenly expanded three times to become a mid-range film production and distribution company. The rapid development is astonishing, but there are both advantages and disadvantages to it.
harm.
Needless to say, the advantages are that at least the human resources are sufficient. The disadvantage is that the expenses are too high, and as the leader, Yi Feiyang has no plans to open a new drama.
If there is no movie to start shooting, there will be no movie to be released. If there is no movie to be released, there will be no income. Such a big family can only eat, drink and wait to die...
Fatty Gao Jiabao is very worried about this!
In fact, in addition to Gao Jiabao, the entire Fantasy Film Company is also looking forward to Yi Feiyang's new works, and the vast number of Hollywood audiences are eagerly waiting and speculating about this new rising star in the film industry.
Chinese magician, what will be the next work?!
…
On the weekend, Yi Feiyang and Anne Hathaway were cuddling together on a bench in the park. Not far away, several mothers were playing with their children on the grass.
"Look at them, they feel so happy." Hathaway looked at the children playing naughtily on the grass, the sunshine, the green grass, and the cool wind, and felt that everything was so beautiful.
Yi Feiyang and Hathaway looked at each other and smiled slightly.
Hathaway pulled back her hair that was blown by the wind, squinted her eyes, and sighed: "This place is so charming. A few months ago, it was covered with ice and snow, but now the grass is green. It has changed a lot.
"
Yi Feiyang next to him also said: "Well, yes, not only has this place changed, but we have also changed."
Hathaway glanced at him suddenly and asked a little strangely: "Have we really changed? It seems that you have changed. You are now a very popular new director in Hollywood. But I am still the same!"
"Shrugged playfully.
Yi Feiyang smiled and pushed the ends of her hair behind her ears and said: "Who said you haven't changed? In the past, every weekend, when you were determined to be a nun, you would go to the church to pray devoutly, but now, haha,
Why do you sit here with me and watch the scenery?"
"Damn it, why are you making fun of me like this?" Anne Hathaway couldn't help but blush and added, "It's not because of you..."
"Oh, because of me?"
"Because you, a bad guy, led me to evil! Yes, that's it!" Hathaway said with a sullen face. But she couldn't help but laugh in her heart. Yes, how could she change so quickly? The Hathaway who was determined to be a nun before
Where did Sevi go? Where did the girl who was determined to dedicate her youth and life to God go? Although she lost her wish to become a nun, she gained something more precious and felt very happy.
"Oh, it turns out I'm a bad guy, so why would someone still go to the park with a bad guy?" Yi Feiyang joked.
Hathaway's pretty face turned red again, she looked at Yi Feiyang helplessly, and then said: "I sometimes wonder, if I hadn't met you, what would my life be like now?" She shrugged,
He added: "However, I like myself now."
"Really? Actually, I also like you now. Really." Yi Feiyang gently touched Hathaway's cheek with his fingers. Hathaway bit her lip and looked at him affectionately.
At that moment, a football flew over, interrupting their gaze.
"I'm sorry, this little guy is so naughty." A young mother came over and apologized.
Hathaway's cheeks were covered with red. She didn't dare to look at Yi Feiyang and said casually: "Ahem. Well, what are your plans now? Everyone is waiting for you to start a new movie."
"Is it a new movie? Haha, I already had a plan." Yi Feiyang said confidently.
"Oh, really? What movie is it?"
"That's it!" Yi Feiyang gently picked up a snail climbing on the bench with his hands.
This snail was also unlucky. It finally managed to climb onto the bench, but was caught by someone.
"This is... a cute little snail." Hathaway said in surprise.
"Yes, it's just a snail." Yi Feiyang smiled slightly, "But he will be the leading actor in my next play."
"Ah. You want to make a popular science film?" Hathaway's little mouth opened wide.
Yi Feiyang smiled, "Please, use your imagination. Could it be said that snails can only appear in popular science films?"
Hathaway shook her head, "I still can't guess what you want to film?"
Seeing her like this, Yi Feiyang stopped teasing her and said: "I want to make a cartoon. The story is about this snail. I have already thought of the name. It will be called "Speed Snail"!"
""Speed Snail"?" Hathaway looked at Yi Feiyang curiously. A snail crawls slowly, and everyone on earth knows that it has nothing to do with speed.
"Yes, this animated story tells the story of a snail who dreams of becoming a racing driver and competing on the track, overcoming various difficulties and finally realizing his dream..."
Yi Feiyang gently told the story of "Speed Snail" in his previous life. Anne Hathaway was so interested in it that she even forgot where she was.
In fact, since filming "Saving Female Soldier Rachel", Yi Feiyang has been thinking about what to film in his next film.
Nowadays, he is called the "most talented" young director in Hollywood. In fact, Yi Feiyang knows that many people are waiting to see his jokes and see how he, a Chinese director, can overturn his ship and how he can suddenly go from being a talented person to a talented person.
He fell down and fell flat on his back.
As a person, you must be self-aware, otherwise you will be eliminated by the current situation. No matter how brilliant and bright you were, it is just a flash in the pan.
This is nothing surprising. Just look at the two guys from "Blair Witch", Dennis and Adelaide. According to Yi Feiyang's memories of his previous life, the two of them shocked the United States when they came up with "The Witch" because they were "mainstream races."
"The media's pursuit of them was much crazier than their own. Not only did they receive interviews everywhere, but these two extremely lucky guys also appeared on the cover of Time Magazine together, becoming the darlings of the United States for a while.
But what happened to them? Did they have a promising future? No, not only did they not, they simply accomplished nothing.
After the success of "Blair Witch", in the first two years, all their energy was used to litigate with the distribution company of "Blair Witch". "Blair Witch 2" released in 2000 had nothing to do with them, and the copyright of the sequel had already been released.
At first, they were packaged and sold to others. Later, they won the lawsuit. The two directors wanted to make a comedy film, but the investors insisted that they continue to make a horror film. They refused and were unwilling to invest on their own. In the end,
The filming plan was aborted.
A few years later, the two directors started making new movies one after another, but they all failed at the box office. In the end, no one remembered these two young people who had appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, and no one remembered the praise they received from the media back then.
, their names fade with time.
When you succeed, you break out of the cocoon and show your beauty to the world. Everyone praises you and you think you own the world; but if you don't recognize your own situation, you will be lost.
You will fly farther and farther, and eventually you will not be able to find your way home. Then you will fall down from exhaustion, be picked up by someone, and put into a book to make a specimen. Occasionally, the book will be opened, and the person reading will say
,Wow, this is really a beautiful butterfly, it must have been beautiful when it was flying! Then the book is closed, and you are nothing.
This is the cruel reality. There are too many beautiful butterflies in the world. They come in a hurry and leave in a hurry. He is just one of them that flies higher. Without self-knowledge, Yi Feiyang believes that he will not be better than these two.
How can the unlucky guy be so lucky?
According to ordinary people's thinking, Yi Feiyang's first film is purely a second-rate dealer, the second film is purely a low-cost thriller, and although the investment in the third film exceeds 300,000, it was not invested by him. So now, Fantasy Film
The industry is much stronger than before. Will you continue to take the low-cost route and choose some low-cost, low-tech films for filming?
For example, if you continue to shoot horror movies or adult movies, after all, you have already made two successful movies, and both of them were huge wins, you can continue to rest on your "laurels" and continue to use your "specialties" in this area. But Yi Feiyang
Immediately put an end to this "promising" temptation.
If a director is too content with the status quo or dwells on the past, then he will be limited to this field and will find it difficult to break through himself.
For example, the Hong Kong director Wang Jing in his previous life always liked to make some shitty movies. In the end, the majority of the audience only recognized and accepted his type of movies. As long as he changed his route and took a literary style, like "Big Shanghai"
, take "Black and White Forest", then the box office will only be a hit!
Another example is a certain major director from the Mainland who has always been good at making northern New Year films, using some jokes in Beijing accent to please the audience. Occasionally, he is ready to take the serious route and make a big production. Both the story and the shooting are excellent.
"Review 1942" came, and the result was that he almost starved to death at the box office!
Therefore, as a director, it is easy to be stereotyped by the theme of the movie. Just like the ladies in a high-end club, some are good at ice and fire, some are good at massage, and some are good at uniform seduction... In short, everyone has different skills and purposes.
But they are all the same, that is, to satisfy the customers, to make them all praise each other, and to reach a wonderful state; the director is a lady, a prostitute, and needs to use his own shooting skills to let the audience immerse themselves in it. When watching, it is just a bit more fun.
There is no peeing spot, just go straight to the injection spot!
Yi Feiyang doesn't want to be that kind of person, and he doesn't want to be a stereotyped director. In his opinion, as a director, you must have a broad vision. If you can become a great director, you must have great courage and magnanimity.
, you can shoot and control movies of any theme!
Why are there so few great directors?
The reason is very simple. The director is a storyteller. Whether you can tell a story in a complete, beautiful and memorable way will determine whether your skills have reached a state of perfection. Let me give you a very simple metaphor.
People can write novels, but some people are good at writing romance, some are good at writing martial arts, and some are good at writing science fiction. So, is there anyone who is good at writing in these fields? The answer is yes! But
There are absolutely very few such people, because they are geniuses and masters among masters!
Yi Feiyang wants to be a great director and a master in the film industry, so he will never be fettered by any subject matter. In his opinion, it is best for him to continue to take the low-cost route and shoot adult movies or horror movies, but
In this way, it will be very difficult for him to get rid of the two symbols of "**" and "horror" in the future. On the contrary, if he takes a different approach and shoots movies with other themes, no matter whether he succeeds or fails, it will not be seen by others in the eyes of others.
Come on, this guy is definitely not simple, at least he is a great director who has created across themes and fields!
Don't underestimate the word "big". Countless Hollywood directors will never be able to find one in their lifetime. There are only a few truly great directors that can be counted on one's fingers, such as Martin Scorsese and George Lew.
Cass, and Spielberg...
Secondly, from another perspective, in addition to being a director, Yi Feiyang is also the boss of Fantasy Pictures. He has a "big family and a big business" and "takes care of the family." With thirty or forty people waiting for him to eat, if he is still a small player
If he makes a small fuss, he can only stay at the stage of food and clothing, and will never be able to drive a Mercedes-Benz and become well-off. Therefore, he must make a big move.
Also, the newly established Computer Animation Design Studio of Fantasy Pictures needs to accumulate experience, and the best way to accumulate experience is "practice", so Yi Feiyang plans to start shooting a cartoon to inspire and hone this group of people.
The company’s animation talent.
Finally, Yi Feiyang once shouted a slogan that touched countless people, that is, "No matter how big your dream is, it's never too big, and no matter how small the dreamer is, you're never too small!"
This classic quotation plagiarized from the previous life's "Speed Snail" has become Yi Feiyang's best symbol of personal image, or a symbol of fighting spirit. Yi Feiyang hopes to transfer this symbol from himself to his dream
The company comes up to make the company the "representative" of this golden saying, so that when people mention this sentence, they will say, "Oh, isn't this Fantasy Film Company? It was originally a small company, but now it has become an aircraft carrier.
Already."
Yi Feiyang hopes that the company can develop like this and that the company can be recognized by the mainstream Hollywood media. Therefore, it is necessary to start filming "Speed Snail" which contains "golden words".
To sum up the above four reasons, it is imperative to shoot the cartoon "Speed Snail".
How would Anne Hathaway know the thoughts and ideas in Yi Feiyang's heart? She only knew that Yi Feiyang had never been exposed to animation design or animation production procedures, and Hollywood cartoons are famous for their technical skills and money-burning
If it doesn't work well, it will be self-defeating and a complete failure. Otherwise, with so many big movie companies in Hollywood, why is Disney the only one that is the best in animation? The reason is that this field is too difficult to control. Without funds and technology, even if you have a good story,
It's also in vain.
But now, Yi Feiyang looked like he was swearing and prepared to rush in so rashly. The result could be imagined. Not to mention losing in a mess, it was a miracle that he could escape unscathed!
Yi Feiyang saw that Anne Hathaway hadn't spoken for a long time and seemed to be thinking about something, so he touched her elbow on the chair, frowned and asked: "Anne, what's wrong?"
Anne Hathaway responded with an "Oh", shook her head to end her thinking, looked at him and smiled: "It's nothing, I was just thinking about something..."
Then Hathaway looked at Yi Feiyang, took a deep breath, and gave her advice in a serious tone, saying: "Yi, you know, your next movie is very important, it affects your future, so I hope you
Don't make decisions rashly, not to mention you don't seem to be very good at animation..."
"I understand what you mean. Cartoons are difficult to make. This is a recognized fact in the entire film industry... But don't forget, what is my nickname, Magician, Magic Yang, there is nothing in this world that I can't do
It’s okay!” Yi Feiyang said confidently.
"You know how to brag, what will happen if you fail!" Annie rolled her eyes at him.
Yi Feiyang smiled, put his arms around her shoulders, and said, "What are you afraid of? Even if I really fail, I will still have you by my side. I will live in your house and let you support me!"
"What?" Annie was startled, and then smiled, thinking that Yi Feiyang was joking.
But Yi Feiyang's serious look made Hathaway a little unsure, and said in surprise: "Oh, are you serious? Live in my house and let me raise you?"
Yi Feiyang nodded and said: "Yeah, why, aren't you willing? In fact, I'm easy to take care of. I just need to eat three meals a day. By the way, it's best to give me a bath every week and occasionally take care of me."
I went shopping and took a walk..."
Anne Hathaway chuckled again, "Why does it sound like I'm raising a puppy?"
"Yeah, don't you like it?" Yi Feiyang raised his eyebrows and made a face, which made Hathaway jump back and forth. The worries and worries just now were swept away. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, novels.
