"Rent? No no." Joel saw the powerful performance of this 3D printer and wanted to buy it. He quickly said: "Mr. Meng, since you have this manufacturing technology, you must be able to manufacture the second and third machines."
, we are willing to finance the purchase!”
Of course Meng Xiaobai will not sell it. Selling the machine can make temporary money, but it is not a long-term solution. If Deep Space Digital maintains its technological leadership, it will make more money in the future.
He said: "This 3D printer is not perfect yet, and we still need more time to design it. When the technology matures in the future, we may consider selling it. But now, it is impossible to sell it."
Joel looked at the Venus 3D mold printer with eager eyes. If there was such a thing, the mold manufacturing process would be greatly improved and the efficiency would be doubled.
Where is this printer? It's clearly a money printing machine! But the other party will definitely not take advantage of such a good thing, and Joel is very unwilling to do so.
"Mr. Meng, you said you are willing to rent it out, but you don't know how to rent it out. Can we rent it out for a few years?" Joel tried another method, but Meng Xiaobai had no advantage for him here.
"What I mean is that if you want to make some difficult, professional-grade molds or movie props, you can leave it to us to make them. Of course, you can also design the drawings and entrust us to print them for you, and then we will charge a certain fee.
.This is the rental method." Meng Xiaobai said.
Qiao was speechless. Isn't this a clear attempt to trick them? And according to Meng Xiaobai, if Weta Digital wants to use their 3D printer, they have to give them a share of the movie special effects orders they receive.
This is simply a domineering clause, but Joel has a helpless feeling, because the 3D printer belongs to the other party, and the other party can not let them use it at all.
"Mr. Joel." Translator Morris reminded him in a low voice. Only then did Joel realize that he was so shocked by the effect of the 3D printer that he completely forgot his original purpose.
He should talk to the other party about the prop order, but when he saw the powerful machine in front of him, Qiao suddenly lost his confidence. If the other party had such a thing, what else would they need to do?
Wu Binghui and Zhu Feiyang also recovered from the surprise. They looked at Joel with slightly proud expressions. When they discussed the order with Joel before, he quoted a high price of tens of millions of dollars. Now, it’s just how much Weta Digital offered.
Millions, they may not even agree!
The representatives of Weta Digital immediately fell into a passive position, and Meng Xiaobai did not participate in the subsequent discussion. However, at the end of the discussion, Wu Binghui was obviously in a good mood, while the representative of Weta Digital was in a bad mood.
"How did the conversation go?" Meng Xiaobai asked.
"It went very smoothly!" Wu Binghui said with a smile, "With this Venus 3D mold printer, we no longer need their help for many props. So we directly cut 60% off the list, and we will complete these by ourselves."
"They still helped design some of the props and we manufactured them ourselves. The cost was about one million US dollars, which was a savings of seven million US dollars compared to before!"
“If it weren’t for our shortage of designers, we wouldn’t have spent this million dollars!”
Now they have manufacturing technology, but there are too many props and no corresponding designers, so no matter how good the machine is, they can't make it.
"What you did today was such a strange move, Joel was dumbfounded." Wu Binghui was still talking, "From now on, this 3D printer will be the treasure of our studio!"
Meng Xiaobai nodded and said: "Now the external conditions have been created for you. If the movie is not shot well, you are the only one to ask!"
After solving the problem of movie props, the crew of "Shading the Sky" accelerated the production. The crew openly recruited actors online and auditioned actors at major film and television schools and art schools across the country.
With an investment of 800 million, this blockbuster film may even be made into a series of movies, which naturally attracted countless young students to sign up. Everyone is eager to try and hope to become the main actor in the film.
…
Jiangcheng, Communication University, Department of Art and Performance.
In the girls' dormitory, a group of young and beautiful girls were discussing the news they had just learned.
"The crew of "Shading the Sky" came to our school to select roles. I heard that the first, second, and third girls have not been decided yet." A tall girl was putting on makeup. "If there is a chance to choose the heroine, that would be great!"
"What a beautiful idea!" another girl said scornfully, "People are interested in you? With such a large investment in this drama, it must be selected by those with connections or previous acting experience."
"I'm not a bad looking fairy, okay? And I'm also proficient in singing and dancing!" the girl said coquettishly to the mirror.
She is not narcissistic. The female students in the Art and Performance Department of Communication University are so good-looking. For example, the four in their dormitory are considered to be department beauties or school beauties in other schools.
"Xiaoyue, are you going too?" her roommate asked Su Lianyue.
"Go and give it a try. It would be good if you can choose a supporting role." Su Lianyue was also adjusting her appearance.
This Su Lingyue is a part-time anchor who has met Meng Xiaobai at Jiangcheng Le Live Broadcasting Company. She is a sophomore student at Communication University this year.
"That's right, if you have acting experience, you can find a job after graduation. And if it becomes popular, you will become a star!" the roommate said with envy.
"I hope you can choose me!" Su Lianyue is also looking forward to studying art and performance, especially for girls. If you can't become famous when you are young, it will only become more and more difficult in the future. So she can't miss every opportunity.
When they arrived at the interview place, Su Lianyue realized how fierce the competition was. From their school alone, there were nearly a hundred students coming for interviews!
I heard that the crew is still auditioning nationwide. This is truly a one-in-a-million selection, and among the base of 10,000, no one is an ordinary person!
This interview was conducted by deputy director Kong Zhang. Kong Zhang is older than director Mo Ziyi. He is forty-three years old this year and has been in the film and television industry for more than ten years. He has a bloated body and looks very greasy.
Because of his rich experience and wide network of contacts, he was recruited into the crew as one of the two assistant directors.
"You know how to dance Latin dance? Let's give it a try." Kong Zhang looked at the girl who came for the interview in front of him. He squinted his eyes and enjoyed the scene of the eighteen-year-old girl showing off her graceful figure in front of him.
"Yeah, not bad." Kong Zhang nodded, "Fill out the form first and wait for notification later."
"Next!"
Su Lianyue walked into the classroom anxiously, where Kong Zhang and two assistants were sitting.
"Hello, teacher, my name is Su Lianyue, and I am a sophomore student at the School of Medical Performance. The role I want to audition for is 'Ji Ziyue'." She bowed first and then said.
