Summit Entertainment has a new movie to start shooting, and the news spread quickly, first in the industry, and then directly leaked from the media.
Originally, Chen Feng had no intention of keeping it secret, so it didn't take long before even the title of the movie "Donkey Gets Water" was leaked out.
After Liu Qinfei learned about this, she called Chen Feng as soon as possible. She was very angry: "You have a new movie, why didn't you tell me?"
Chen Feng had previously promised to give her a role as a movie heroine. This was not a resource exchange as she had said before, but Chen Feng planned to use it to return her favor.
Therefore, he could understand her mood and was not too disgusted by her questioning him. Instead, he patiently explained: "The new movie I am about to shoot is a small production, and it is also a black humor movie. The heroine cannot be too beautiful, so
I asked Deng Xiaoyan to act. If I ask you to act, it will definitely not be suitable."
After hearing what Chen Feng said, Liu Qinfei softened her tone and asked, "How much do you plan to invest in this movie?"
"It won't exceed 15 million at most. I don't think you can appreciate such a small production."
Liu Qinfei retorted: "This is not necessarily true. I film based on the script. If the script is good, what does the small cost have to do with it? Just like your famous film, how much did it cost? But everyone is talking about it until now.
Said it was a good movie."
"Okay. Next time I will make a small-budget movie and let you be the heroine."
"Okay. This is what you said yourself. I hope you won't perfuse me. In addition, I won't let you do it in vain. As long as you let me be the heroine of your new movie, I will let my company recommend you.
People go to satellite TV to participate in variety shows.”
Chen Feng did not refuse her kindness and said with a smile: "Since you said that, I won't be polite."
"I know you are stingy, so I won't go out of my way to take advantage of you. Otherwise, I won't have the chance to cooperate with you next time."
It seems that Liu Qinfei is really starting to understand Chen Feng.
Chen Feng is like this. He doesn't like to take advantage of others, and he doesn't like others to take advantage of himself.
Therefore, Chen Feng did not refute anything, but just smiled and said: "Only when things come and go can things last forever. You can think of this, that's good."
Liu Qinfei hummed twice, but she didn't say anything unpleasant.
Here, the project of "Donkey Gets Water" was quickly approved, and the crew preparations were completed. Three days later, Chen Feng personally hosted and held a meeting of the entire crew at the company, which was regarded as a mobilization meeting.
After this meeting, the entire crew began to go to the northwest in batches.
Li Kai's mobility is still very strong. In just a few days, he has found a suitable shooting location in the northwest. The shooting period is expected to not exceed one month.
Because this black comedy is based on plot, not pictures and action special effects. The scene is basically in one place.
After the crew of "Donkey Gets Water" started to set off in batches, the preparation work of the film special effects company also achieved initial success.
At the last 10 billion box office celebration banquet, Chen Feng expressed to representatives of entertainment companies in the same industry the idea of setting up a film special effects company together. After that, several companies sent representatives to Summit Entertainment to discuss the matter.
thing.
Susie, who is capable and hard-working, is responsible for this matter. After almost a month of discussions, there are currently 8 entertainment companies, including Tianhe Media and Tiandi Pictures, who have made it clear that they want to partner with Summit.
And the specific amount of investment is given.
What remains is the specific shareholding ratio that everyone wants in this special effects company. This is also one of the reasons why Chen Feng returned to the capital this time.
The partners have been determined in advance and the amount of investment has been clarified. Next, the company's shareholding will be discussed. Chen Feng, the founder and the largest shareholder of the future special effects company, must come forward in person.
Therefore, Chen Feng personally hosted and convened several preparatory meetings for the special effects company, and finally determined the specific shareholding and investment amount of the special effects company with representatives from various entertainment companies.
The entire special effects company has a registered capital of 500 million. Chen Feng invested 300 million in the name of Summit Entertainment and himself, occupying 68% of the shares of the special effects company, of which 60% is owned by Summit Entertainment and 8% is owned by Chen Feng.
Personal shares. Chen Feng’s identity in this special effects company is the chairman. Tiandi Pictures invested 60 million and became the second largest shareholder of this special effects company, followed by Tianhe Media, and so on, 8 entertainment companies.
Finally, after some discussion, the special effects company was officially named United Digital.
To this end, representatives of eight entertainment companies, led by Summit Entertainment, held a press conference at the most luxurious Shangri-La Hotel in Beijing on the day the agreement was reached, announcing the establishment of a joint digital film visual effects company.
At this press conference, Chen Feng, as the representative of this emerging film special effects company, made a speech.
"The development of the film industry has actually entered a stage where upgrading and upgrading are also bottlenecks. If we, Datang Film, want to further develop, we must break through this bottleneck and upgrade. To do this, we must not only rely on
Scripts, actors and directors also rely on various ever-changing film industry technologies. Among them, film special effects are the top priority.
Nowadays, both movies and TV are inseparable from special effects. In a broad sense, special effects include special visual effects that cannot be achieved by traditional shooting in the process from early stage makeup to post-production. From a professional perspective, it means that in addition to
CG special effects industry in addition to traditional makeup, stage props and other shooting techniques.
In today's movies and TV dramas, CG technology is widely used, especially in Hollywood commercial movies. They have created many shocking movie special effects. This is very worthy of our domestic colleagues to learn from. This is also what we
A wish of domestic filmmakers.
Our current domestic film industry is obviously lagging behind Hollywood from the very beginning. And if the foundation is not solid, our attempts to catch up and catch up with them will only be temporary and not sustainable.
Therefore, as filmmakers, we must lay this foundation. For ourselves and for the latecomers in the film industry..."
Chen Feng spoke eloquently for more than ten minutes before finishing this time. This is a relatively rare behavior for Chen Feng. And the reason why he spoke for so long was actually, as he said in his speech, he wanted to speak slowly.
Slowly lay a solid foundation for the film industry and help Datang Film catch up with Hollywood.
Although this wish is difficult to realize, you must always try to do it and give it a try.
After the press conference, Chairman Chen Feng took the lead in setting up the United Digital Special Effects Company. The top priority was to recruit the most suitable talents. It was necessary not only to have a suitable president, but also to have a group of top talents.
Technical staff.
In this regard, because Chen Feng has a plug-in that is proficient in computers, it can still be of great use when recruiting technicians. He can directly talk to the candidates about technology, so that he can easily identify who are the real talents.
No specific computer operations are required.
As for the candidate for the president, it was initially recommended by several major companies, including Tianhe Media and Tiandi Pictures, and three of the other five companies also recommended candidates.
As chairman, Chen Feng personally interviewed these five candidates. They all have relatively rich resumes and mature corporate management experience.
In the end, Chen Feng chose a young returnee recommended by Tiandi Pictures. He was only 32 years old, graduated from a prestigious school, studied abroad for three years, and had three years of work experience as vice president of a Silicon Valley company. Although his resume was a bit shorter than the others, he
The.asxs.is very high. Moreover, it is a Silicon Valley company. Compared with the related experience of several other domestic companies, it is undoubtedly more valuable.
So, Chairman Chen Feng selected this turtle named Xie Yang as the president of United Digital. Because it was Chen Feng who selected him and he was recommended by the second largest shareholder Tiandi Pictures, the board of directors quickly approved it.
.
After finding Xie Yang, Chen Feng's work became very easy. He directly handed over the work of building joint digital to Xie Yang.
Xie Yang also lived up to Chen Feng's trust and completed the entire company's construction work in just one week, which was a very satisfactory answer to Chen Feng and the directors.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Feng directly handed over the post-production special effects order of "The Condor" to United Digital, and put forward his requirements in detail.
With Chen Feng's demonstration, the other seven companies have also handed over orders to United Digital. As soon as this newly established company came to work, the employees started working at full capacity. Fortunately,
The remuneration and overtime pay given by United Digital are among the best in the industry, and the technicians don't complain too much. After all, the more you work, the more you earn. You can't just give you high salary and high benefits without doing anything.
After Chen Feng was busy with the special effects company, he took time to arrange other things, such as arranging for Chen Hao and the fat girl Cai Yunfang to attend the university.
Of course, Chen Feng left this matter to Su Qian, a native with a deep network of connections. After all, it was just an auditor, not a school. Find the right person and spend some money to solve it.
As for the accommodation for the two of them, Chen Feng could just ask Li Dazhi to rent two houses next to the university where they were auditing.
However, before sending them to the university to observe, Chen Feng personally took them to his home for a meal, gave them a few words of advice, and left them a personal phone number, saying that he would call him if there was anything important in the future.
The implication is that if there is nothing important, they should not call him.
Chen Hao and Cai Yunfang were quite satisfied with Chen Feng's arrangement, especially Cai Yunfang. She never dreamed that she would be able to attend the Literature Department of Beijing University.
You must know that Capital University is the top university in the Tang Dynasty. Cai Yunfang has been a scumbag since she was a child. She never dreamed that she would be able to enter this university that countless students dream of. Although.
She was just an observer, not really a student, but she was completely satisfied. Therefore, even though she was introverted, sensitive, and had low self-esteem, she took the initiative to express her gratitude to Chen Feng during the meal.
And Chen Hao entered the acting department of Beijing Film Academy to audit, mainly to learn acting, and secondly, he also practiced dancing and singing. Chen Feng planned to build him as a traffic idol.
So, as long as this guy's acting and singing skills are not too bad, it's fine. Chen Feng no longer has high hopes for him. After all, this guy is too young, lacks strength, has limited talent, and is not diligent enough. He wants to stay in entertainment for a long time.
It's hard to make a living in the industry, but after a few years there shouldn't be any problem.
Unless he grows up in the future and knows how to work hard and make progress, he may become a real star, or even a superstar. Otherwise, he will only be a shooting star at best.
"You are all still young. The most important thing is to calm down and study. Lay a good foundation. Especially Chen Hao, don't think that you can become a star just because you are handsome. There are so many handsome people in the entertainment industry.
There is no shortage of handsome men and beautiful women. No matter how handsome you are, you will always grow old one day. Can you continue to rely on your good looks? Look at those traffic stars who were very popular a few years ago, where are they now?
Do you still remember them? They have been eliminated by the times long ago. Therefore, the most important thing is your own talent and ability. As long as you have the ability, you can always work in this industry. Otherwise, you can only work for a while at most."
Cai Yunfang listened to Chen Feng's admonishment, but Chen Hao didn't take it seriously. He didn't understand any taboos in front of Chen Feng, so he said directly: "I didn't intend to stay in the entertainment industry. I just
I want to take advantage of the time when I am still young to get involved in the entertainment industry, make a fortune, and make more money. In this way, when I am about 25 or 26 years old, I can quit doing business and I can still live my whole life.
Very moisturizing.”
Chen Hao's words left Chen Feng speechless. Although this guy is young, he has his own ideas.
"Is this really your plan?" Chen Feng asked.
Chen Hao nodded: "Of course. That's what I thought when I wanted to participate in the TV talent show. Being a star makes more money, and the money comes quickly. Endorsing a product can cost millions and tens of millions. As long as I mess around
Once you become famous, you can endorse a few products and you will have no worries for the rest of your life."
Chen Feng shook his head and said: "You haven't really set foot in the entertainment industry yet. Once you enter the real entertainment industry, how can it be so easy to get out? Unless you enter without being famous at all, otherwise you will be stuck in the mud, no
You may be able to get away easily. If nothing else, you are used to earning millions or tens of millions from an endorsement, and then you quit, can you get used to opening a restaurant and only earning hundreds of thousands a year? And what are you used to?
You have countless fans chasing after you. After you quit, no one will recognize you on the street. You can only remain unknown. Can you be willing to continue to be ordinary? To put it simply, it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, and from luxury to luxury.
It’s hard to live a frugal life. You’re used to eating abalone and lobster, and if I ask you to go back and eat rice bran, would you be willing?”
This time it was Chen Hao's turn to be speechless. Although he was young, Chen Feng could still understand what he said. It was like he was used to riding a motorcycle when he was in high school. If he was allowed to ride a bicycle again, he would definitely
