Chapter 558
"Legend of the White Fox" is expected to be filmed for 4 and a half months, and will wrap up at the end of August. The Hengdian studio plans to shoot for 8 days. Later, it will go to Yinchuan's Western Studios and the desert to shoot scenes, and then transfer to Bashang Grassland to shoot the finale.

"The "Legend of Miyue" was worried that we would grab the venue." "Legend of Miyue" was also launched on the Bashang Grassland in early September, and some of the venues of the two films were shared on the grassland.

"Didn't they coordinate early in the morning, so they won't delay their setting." The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh. "The Legend of Miyue" is another TV series with a major heroine after Yuan Yuan's "The Legend of Zhen Huan", starring Sun Li again , is a strong contender for next year's drama king.

"It's not that "White Fox" delayed the launch for a few days. "Miyue" was worried that we would delay the filming, so they came to confirm the time with me in a hurry."

Cheng Yu'an said: "Tell Cao Ping (producer of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and "The Legend of Miyue") that I am in a hurry here and will not delay her starting up."

If it was just a group of "The Legend of the White Fox", Cheng Yu'an would still be busy.

However, all the dramas, large and small, that have already been launched or will be launched in Hengdian have come to meet Cheng Yu'an.

Today "Langya Bang" came to say that they would borrow two leading actors from "Legend of the White Fox" to have a cameo appearance, but Cheng Yu'an pushed back.

Tomorrow, "Prince and Concubine's Promotion" came to complain to Cheng Yu'an, saying that the ancient costumes in Hengdian were all taken over by "Legend of the White Fox" and "Langya List", and he had no clothes to wear.

Cheng Yu'an scolded props, Hengdian wouldn't go to Xiangshan to find them in Huairou without you, and I also brought up this little thing.

After a few days of silence, the representative of the investor came to visit "White Fox", and Cheng Yu'an had to find time to accompany him.

The investor delegation was quite large, headed by Wanda's Ye Ning and director of Dadi Cinema Zhang Yan, Wu Yangyang came to the small ten.

When did I see this group of bigwigs visiting a crew collectively?

Cheng Yu'an told Guo Fan to leave it alone: ​​"You continue filming, and Shen Yuan (the special effects director of "Legend of the White Fox") and I can take this group of people around."

Shen Yuan is introducing the special effects production of "The Legend of the White Fox" to investors. This film sells special effects: "This real-time rendering technology was introduced last year with a huge sum of money. "White Fox" is the first film to use this system. Movies. You see," Shen Yuan pointed to the special effects rendering screen, "The materials shot on the set will be sent here, and the system will render the images in real time.

"Of course, real-time rendering can only achieve an approximate effect, but it can also save a lot of time in post-production. If we had this system for "The Martian", we wouldn't have to do special effects for three years."

"Isn't this system cheap?" Ye Ning asked.

"Well, the introduction of this system has been talked about for more than a year. In addition to the later debugging and personnel training, it cost almost [-] million." Shen Yuan smiled, "I report to Mr. Cheng every year with trepidation. They all talk about how much they have earned, but our special effects department tells us how much we have lost when we go to the headquarters every year, and the loss is not counted, and we need Mr. Cheng to continue to give money to continue to lose.”

The three major money-losing departments of the Remote Department: Tiangong Yicai, Remote Weibo and Tao Piao Piao.

Tiangong Yicai’s biggest loss is not the R&D and introduction of technology, but the preparation of the rendering center. Tiangong Yicai and Jinmen Supercomputing Center have jointly established their own cloud rendering center. Although there is policy support, this cooperation project is still Super burnt.

Fortunately, at the end of last year, the cloud rendering center was officially launched, and it should not be difficult for Tiangong Yicai to make profits in the future.

Weibo’s losses have gradually decreased in the past two years. Although there are competing products, they no longer pose a threat to remote Weibo. In another year or two, it should not be difficult to make profits.

Only Tao Piao Piao, there are still many competing products in the market, and the prospect of profitability is still far away.

Cheng Yu'an also laughed after hearing this: "Just seeing how straightforward I am spending my money, I also feel distressed. So much money is poured into it every year. If you don't make money for me this year, I won't be able to convince the shareholders to invest in you."

Special effects is a department that can’t be tricked, and can only be polished with money and time. It has been 07 years since the acquisition of Tiangong Yicai in 7. This small company that followed foreign special effects companies at the beginning has grown into a domestic company. Even the important town in the field of special effects in Asia.

Cheng Yu'an went on to say: "Thanks to the advancement of rendering technology, the post-production cycle of "White Fox" will not be too long, and it can be completed in 17 months. It was originally scheduled to be released during the Spring Festival in 16, so there should be no problem." Investors took this reassurance.

In the Lunar New Year file at the end of 15, "Looking for the Dragon" will be teleported.

In the middle of the dinner reception in the evening, Ye Ning revealed her real intention for coming today. Wanda, together with Continental, Jinyi and Hengdian Cinemas, planned to form a Wuzhou Film Distribution Company, and wanted to invite Golden Harvest Cinemas to participate.

Cheng Yu'an was a little surprised. These four theaters were among the top ten theaters in the country, and Golden Harvest hovered around 15 all year round. They would consider Golden Harvest to form such a distribution company.

Jiahe is completely different from them.

However, Ye Ning's next sentence made Cheng Yu'an understand the reason: "We have already obtained the qualification to import films."

now it's right!

What they value is Cheng Yu'an's contacts in Hollywood, and they want to get a movie in Hollywood.

For such an invitation, Cheng Yu'an had no reason not to agree.

He knew that Golden Harvest would definitely not be able to take the lead in China Continental Publishing, but to occupy a place in this kind of company, a few words were enough.

Mastering the qualifications of imported films is a big killer.

Let’s not talk about the distance, let’s talk about the "Tianji·Fuchuan Mountain Dwelling" by China Film Group last year.

When the film was released, there was no Hollywood blockbuster for two weeks.

All films released at the same time as it were domestically produced with small and medium costs.

"Superman: Man of Steel" was released 12 days later than him.

Otherwise, this bad film can get 3 million?
Investing in a company that has the qualifications to import films is also good for long-distance. It will be much more convenient to buy approved films in the future-approved films are also handed over to companies that are qualified to distribute imported films.A big film company's film will also get a lot of convenience when it is released in China.

In general, Cheng Yu'an invested in Wuzhou Distribution with his own resources in Hollywood. Cheng Yu'an helped Wuzhou Distribution find better Hollywood movies to introduce, and Wuzhou Distribution opened the door for a major film company's movies to be released in China.

"I'll definitely agree to this matter." It's a business with no harm at all, and you'd be a fool if you don't agree. At most, you can pay some money every year. Line CEO General Manager) to discuss in detail. I will go back and make a call later, and Mr. Ye can just go back to the capital and find them."

After sending them off the next day, Cheng Yu'an returned to the crew to continue working.

What Cheng Yu'an didn't know was that the group of people from Wuzhou Distribution, the first film they aimed at was "Jurassic World" that a big film company was shooting in Hawaii. After the investment team came back from visiting "Legend of the White Fox", they sent people to Los Angeles and Hawaii.

　I have something to do at night, hurry up and update.Have a great weekend everyone.
