Although Zhu Xian said that there is no big event in Yanjing, there is actually one event that can be regarded as a major event in the domestic film industry this year!
That is the second Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival held in Yangcheng in September!
In fact, at this year's Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival, Wu Jianye's "The World of Chu Xing" was the biggest hit, and was selected for Best Feature Film, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and Best Screenplay.
Six awards for best photography!
Although the second Golden Rooster and Bahua Film Festival will not be held until September, in fact, the judges of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival have already started watching, discussing and reviewing films in Huairou!
The chairman of this year's jury is the former director of the Bayi Film Studio, with a terrifyingly high military rank.
Originally, the biggest winner of this Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival should be Zhang Yimou's "Qiu Ju's Lawsuit", but because this movie was advanced, it became the biggest winner at the first Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival last year!
The holding of the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival was actually related to the domestic film format at that time. As the number of domestic moviegoers gradually declined, the Golden Rooster Awards and the Hundred Flowers Awards decided to merge and became the current Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival!
"Then shall we go before the film festival or after the film festival?" Zhu Xian asked.
"The World of Chu Xing" is the film with the most nominations at this year's film festival. Wu Jianye is definitely going to participate. In fact, Director Xiao was also the director of this year's jury, and he specially gave it to Wu Jianye.
Ye called and told him to attend!
Factory Director Xiao's reputation cannot be refuted, so you still have to go.
"Let's go there in advance. Then we can go directly to Yangcheng from Shimen!" Wu Jianye said after thinking for a while.
Zhu Xian suddenly said: "How about we take Yiyi there too, let Yiyi stay with Xiaoqing and the others for a week, and when he starts school, I will take him back to Yanjing, and then you
Go back to your hometown and spend some time with your mother?"
Wu Jianye thought about it, and it was good, but there was still one thing that was more difficult to deal with, and that was the problem of filming the new movie. But Wu Jianye thought about it and decided that he was not in a hurry to determine the filming. Now he is in Tan Yang's place.
According to the news, Li Yapeng and Yu Feihong still need to train for a while, and Liang Zhengting and Huang Zilu still have a lot of work to do.
Judging from the current progress, the new movie will definitely not start shooting until next year!
"I think it's okay, let's do this, I'll arrange this matter in the next two days!"
Zhu Hao was very happy to see that Wu Jianye had no objection.
Wu Nianyi was directly dragged over to watch TV and asked: "Yiyi, mom and dad will take you to find more children to play, okay?"
Wu Nian said directly: "Mom, I don't want to go to school!"
Wu Jianye: "..."
Zhu Xian also had black lines on his head. He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not going to school, I'm going to play with many children!"
Wu Nianyi looked at Zhu Xi with some disbelief and asked, "Are you really just going to play?"
"real!"
At this time, Wu Jianye felt that he heard the sound of grinding his teeth.
"Okay then!" Wu Nianyi said happily.
Wu Jianye glanced at Wu Nianyi helplessly, "Even if you don't agree to this kind of thing, you can't make the decision!"
.......
The next day, Wu Jianye came to Tangting Culture, but this time Wu Jianye did not go to the third floor, but went to the new Tangting Building next to it that had just been put into use!
In July, the decoration had been completed here. Xia Xiaohong called Wu Jianye. She originally hoped that Wu Jianye could preside over the relocation ceremony. However, at that time, Wu Jianye was filming with Zhao Fei and others, so she asked Xia Xiaohong
Just wait until people move it themselves.
Regarding Wu Jianye's decision, Xia Xiaohong was also helpless.
At this time, Wu Jianye no longer cares about these formal things!
At this time, what Wu Jianye saw in front of him was a 21-story building. The style of this building was somewhat similar to the Twin Towers in Zhongguancun, but it was not as grand as the Twin Towers. From the outside, it looked like a three-story chassis, holding up the top.
of two 18-story buildings.
Compared with the Twin Towers, the area here is not much.
The overall style is dark blue.
At this time, Xia Xiaohong, Li Xiaowan, and Huang Jianxin were already waiting for Wu Jianye at the door.
"It's finally a shotgun exchange for a cannon, not bad!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.
Because Xia Xiaohong had been Wu Jianye's secretary before, many times when Xia Xiaohong, Li Xiaowan, and Huang Jianxin appeared together, Xia Xiaohong communicated with Wu Jianye.
"Director Wu, we have all moved here now. I have discussed it with Mr. Li and Mr. Huang. When your people come over, shall we hold a moving ceremony?" Xia Xiaohong asked.
The special effects company, TV department, film department, animation department, music department, artist department and other departments of Tangting Culture have now moved here, except for some employees on the third floor where Wu Jianye currently works.
Wu Jianye shook his head and said, "Didn't I tell you a long time ago that I won't move here, and I will leave it to you to work here!"
Wu Jianye was still used to his previous three-story building and didn't want to move again!
Xia Xiaohong said in embarrassment: "But if this is the case, we..."
"Okay, it's decided." Wu Jianye waved his hand and walked in directly.
The first floor is a huge hall, and two receptionists have already stood up to wait for Wu Jianye and others.
Wu Jianye just took a brief look at the environment here and asked Xia Xiaohong: "Which floor is the special effects company on?"
As the special effects team moved here, they also officially spun off Tangting Culture and established their own company, but it was fully controlled by Tangting Culture.
"Thirteenth floor!" Xia Xiaohong replied.
Wu Jianye smiled: "Let's go, I'm here just for them this time!"
Accompanied by three people, Wu Jianye got on the elevator and went straight to the Tangting Special Effects Company on the 13th floor.
Liang Zhengting and Huang Zilu were already waiting for Wu Jianye at the elevator door.
"How about it? The environment here is almost the same as the digital realm this time, right?" Wu Jianye joked after seeing the two of them.
The smile on Liang Zhengting's face perfectly explained what it means to be proud of the spring breeze, "Much better, much better than the digital field!"
Wu Jianye said: "Let's go, take me to see the results of your work during this period!"
Xia Xiaohong, Li Xiaowan, and Huang Jianxin felt a little amused when they saw Wu Jianye looking so excited.
The establishment of Tangting Special Effects still gave them a sense of crisis, which can be seen from Wu Jianye's investment in Tangting Special Effects.
The registered capital of the entire Tangting Special Effects is US$40 million!
Not only that, the speed at which they spent money was even more enviable to these three people. In just six months, they had already spent nearly 40 million yuan!
If Wu Jianye hadn't been here to suppress him, I guess if he had switched to another company, he would have exploded long ago!
Wu Jianye followed Liang Zhengting and Huang Zilu to the model room!
The model room is about the size of a basketball court. When Wu Jianye walked in, he could already see a lot of people working hard here. At the same time, in the corner of the model room, some had been completed.
model.
Liang Zhengting brought Wu Jianye and others here, pointed at the beast in front of him, and said with an excited smile on his face: "Director Wu, this is the model of Qilin!"
Coupled with the ferocious expression it made, Wu Jianye was as shocked as when he saw the dinosaur model for the first time.
Putting your hands on it, you can even clearly feel the layered texture brought by the scales on its body.
"Not bad, very good!" Wu Jianye praised sincerely. If such a Chinese mythical beast was left to a foreigner, it would definitely not be able to achieve such charm!
"This is a model of Xuanwu!" Liang Zhengting pointed to the giant turtle model next to him, the smile on his face still undiminished.
At this time, Wu Jianye had returned to normal and said with a smile: "You don't need to introduce them one by one. I'll guess by myself. This is the White Tiger."
Next to Xuanwu, a tiger with white fur and an extra pair of wings is obviously the white tiger, one of the Four Spirits.
"Why are there only two of the four spirits?" Wu Jianye did not find the models of Qinglong and Suzaku.
Liang Zhengting smiled and said: "Because the production of Qinglong and Suzaku is more time-consuming, and we haven't found suitable substitutes for some parts, so..."
Wu Jianye nodded, expressing understanding, and then asked: "Has the computer model been made?"
There are not only unicorns, black basalts, and white tigers here, but also other mythical beasts from the mountains and seas, such as the white ape on Tangting Mountain, the huai on Yaoguang Mountain, the huan on Yiwang Mountain, etc. The mythical beasts that have already been formed are probably
There must be more than twenty of them!
Liang Zhengting immediately said: "Part of it has already been made!"
Wu Jianye said quickly: "Take me to see it quickly!"
When he walked out of the model room, Wu Jianye saw in the center of the room several people applying scales to a beast that was almost four to five meters long. It was obvious that it was the Qinglong!
Liang Zhengting took Wu Jianye and others to the computer special effects room again.
Although this place is not as big as the model room just now, it is more lively. You can see a lot of people busy here, and at the same time, there are various papers of mythical beasts with their appearances drawn on their tables.
Liang Zhengting said: "After the establishment of Tangting Special Effects Company, we recruited some students from the Academy of Fine Arts, and also hired several professors, who drew us paintings of various mythical animals. Our model team and computer special effects team also
They will all be combined based on the mythical beasts they drew. Due to manpower reasons, I also took the initiative to recruit a group of freshly graduated students from the film school..."
"You don't need to tell me these things, I just want to ask you, do you still have enough manpower?"
Liang Zhengting gave a bitter smile and said: "Director Wu, telling the truth is not enough!"
Wu Jianye immediately said to Xia Xiaohong: "Deploy some people from the animation team."
What else could Xia Xiaohong say at this time? She could only nod in agreement!
Several people came to Liang Zhengting's office and finally saw the effects generated by computer animation on his computer.
At just the first glance, Wu Jianye knew that people like Liang Zhengting were not neglected in the digital field. Simply looking at these effects, they were no worse than the original "Jurassic Park"!
At this time, Liang Zhengting began to introduce one mythical beast to another for Wu Jianye.
Wu Jianye also listened carefully, and finally asked: "When will it be finished?"
At this time, Huang Zilu finally spoke: "It would be impossible to make all the mythical beasts in the Classic of Mountains and Seas within three or four years. However, if we complete what Director Wu told us, we are confident that we can complete it by the end of this year.
"
"Okay, then I'm waiting for your good news!"
At this time, Wu Jianye was finally relieved!
But not everything goes smoothly. For example, now Liang Zhengting raised his own question: "Director Wu, the special effects cost of 85 million is probably not enough. According to our calculations, even to complete the special effects of these mythical beasts, it will already cost
Nearly 80 million has been spent. If you add other special effects you added to the movie, 85 million will definitely not be enough!"
Wu Jianye had already calculated before that the cost of shooting the new movie, including the use of special effects, including remuneration and other things, would be almost 15 million, and the cost of the entire special effects was 85 million. Now Liang Zhengting has proposed that it is not enough!
Wu Jianye asked directly: "How much more do you need?"
"At least 25 million more!" Liang Zhengting was not polite.
The expressions of Xia Xiaohong and the other three people on the side changed slightly. Wu Jianye had previously calculated the production cost of the entire movie to be an astonishing 100 million yuan. Now Liang Zhengting actually wanted to directly increase the cost of special effects to 100 million yuan. How could they?
Maybe not surprised!
Wu Jianye said: "I will give you 30 million, and there is only one requirement. The special effects of the movie can only be better than "Jurassic Park", not worse than him!"
This means that labor and other things are cheap in China. If it were done in North America, the cost would probably be doubled several times.
When Liang Zhengting heard Wu Jianye's support, he immediately smiled and said: "Director Wu, I dare to issue a military order to you!"
"good!"
When Wu Jianye came out of the special effects hall, he returned to his third floor, and Huang Jianxin followed him.
"What's the matter?" Wu Jianye asked, looking at Huang Jianxin's hesitant expression.
"Director Wu, I just saw what Tangting's special effects have done. It's really shocking, but have you ever thought that the style of these mythical beasts is a bit too..." Huang Jianxin organized his words and continued:
"It's too real and terrifying. Will it scare some viewers?"
This is not that Huang Jianxin is jealous of Liang Zhengting and others, but an issue he considers from his own professional perspective. Nowadays, domestic mythological dramas tend to make these mythical beasts less real and terrifying. He is worried that the current audience will accept them.
No!
Wu Jianye smiled: "Don't worry about this. This is the effect I want. If there is a problem with it, I will be responsible!"
In fact, this style is exactly what Wu Jianye requested. Whether it is a mythical beast or a ferocious beast, in mythology, they are never known for their cuteness.
and.......
"The bigger market for this movie is for overseas." Wu Jianye said.
Why is "Jurassic Park" so successful? Isn't it because it truly shows the dinosaurs of the Cretaceous Century to a global audience?
