I really can't act

Chapter 513 A Little Dream ([-])

As William said, Fang Yi is here to inspire people, in other words, to calm possible anger with personal prestige.

When a movie is about to be released, sometimes special effects people have to work hard. The director can certainly guide the direction of the problem and make them do less useless work in the later stage, but there must be unseemly and inhuman overtime.This is true of Hollywood, and so is domestic films.

If the overtime is too harsh, the special effects crew may turn the whole company upside down.

The leakage of special effects shots of "Transformers 3" is now suspected to be a deliberate act of revenge by employees.

At present, the number of special effects shots in the industry has increased extremely rapidly, which has far exceeded the original processing capacity of special effects studios, so they can only work overtime crazily.Hollywood's two major special effects giants "Vita" and "Industrial Light & Magic" have successively had scandals such as "strikes" and "being sued for abuse". In order to calm the anger of employees, the giants tried every means:
Build a small amusement park in the company, fill it with movie props, send models to every jerk, invite sex actors to dance at the annual meeting, and give employees an hour or two of "relaxation time" no matter what they do... of course. Including salary increase, looking for outsourcing.

None of this worked enough.

If it really works, you have to play the emotional card and let the big bosses take the lead-at least this will last for a while.

This is a bit like the warriors in the late Tang Dynasty. Before they could die, they had to see the reward. If possible, the commander-in-chief had to charge, otherwise he would rebel and let the commander-in-chief die without a place to die.

Weta Studios was unable to make "Avatar" for a while. At a critical juncture, director Cameron personally ran into the studio to wipe the management's ass.Cameron stayed with his staff to and from get off work every day, staring at the progress of the special effects, and then asked the producer to increase the budget and raise everyone's salary, and it was done.

Industrial Light & Magic developed extremely fast for a period of time after finishing Star Wars. At one time, there were complaints about the skyrocketing workload, but Industrial Light & Magic’s salary was not high in the industry.The founder and director George Lucas, in order not to disband the grass-roots team, immediately ate and lived with the employees, made spaceship models by himself, often squatted in the corner and hammered iron sheets to make props for others, and did not go home for a whole week.

It seems that foreigners also know how to control people.

Now base is the well-deserved No. [-] special effects company in China, and it is gradually becoming famous in Asia. The workload is quite saturated, and it is already in a state of constant rotation.Last year, the special effects of Fiber Media's "Painted Wall" were quite bad. The director Chen Jiashang was very dissatisfied. After seeing the first cut shots, he was furious, "I asked to do it again, and changed many special effects teams, from South Korea, from mainland China, from Singapore... Finally, I am very satisfied with the cooperation with base, they are the first-class strength, and I will cooperate with them for a long time.”

Some scenes of Li An's film "Life of Pi" were also handed over to base for production. "Youth Pie" is a film shot almost entirely in a studio, and more than 90.00% of the film is special effects shots, which represents one of the highest levels in this industry. Only Americans can do it all the time, but the effect made by base makes Li An Surprised, "I didn't expect it to develop so fast, I even think it has surpassed the standard of commercial films in mainland China..."

Li An speaks very tactfully and never offends others.What he actually wants to express is that the current level of special effects of base exceeds the level of special effects produced in the mainland market.It's as if the oil trucks on a road have just started running, and a bunch of charging piles have been built as a result.

ahead of time.

That's why Fang Yi's subordinates are quite arrogant.People from Hollywood, France, Japan, and South Korea...all came to the capital for high salaries and a little bit of ideals. Old Ke and William couldn't convince them completely.Marshal Fang must go out.

It is necessary to give out rewards, but also to dig out your heart.

——Since Fang Yi was recognized, he didn't waste any more time in private interviews.He clapped his hands and found a place to give a speech and distribute chicken soup. Old Ke moved a stool for him to step on. It was not high, but it was just enough for everyone to see him.

On this floor, Fang Yi said:

"To be honest, I have the cheek to bother everyone. I received a request that I hope that "The Chinese Zodiac" can be released within this year. Now that the filming of this film has been completed, the increased workload is mainly on everyone's head. On...Of course, I will give a salary that is higher than the industry standard, which is inevitable, and besides that, I would like to explain why I agreed to this request."

"You know that in the Chinese market this year, the box office of local films is not very good. In the past two years, to put it bluntly, the related films we produced have always been the ballast stones and needles for local films... just in a delicate stage In a state of balance, without us, local films would lose. We are Mr. Key, the winner in chess. I know best what kind of ambition that represents."

"I'm very young, I don't think it's interesting enough to do simple things, but I have to do difficult ones. Base is an international company with a lot of young people. We not only accept special effects for mainland films, but are still doing Hollywood and Japanese markets. I heard that there are also Indian and Thai outsourcing of special effects for movies. But in the long run, we will not always be an outsourcing team. We must base ourselves on the Chinese film market, just like industrial light and magic is bound with Hollywood. We will It has developed to such an extent that both base and mainland films will prosper, and both will suffer... The top company that all mainland films consider first is us."

"There is no second one, do you know? In other words, those who pick up work from the base's fingers are all second, and these 'seconds' are nobody."

"If Chinese-language films do not develop, we will always be an outsourcing company. Without us, Chinese-language films cannot produce decent local special effects films."

"...The mainland is a market that is strongly connected to the government. Many things are like this, and so is the film market. From the slogan on the wall, I know that you have received many leaders and officials, and you should know the particularity of this market. Nothing related Subsidies and big orders, we can't give some people long-term salaries that are competitive in the world. When you come to this city, it doesn't matter if you will return to Paris or Los Angeles one day in the future, or stay in the capital to settle down and get a Chinese green card... Now is the time to turn the tide. If "Zodiac" can save the local film market, there will be more blockbuster and commercial films of the same type; A great hero..."

Fang Yi said that his mouth was dry, and he got down from the stool. Instead of showing off, he turned around in a more humble posture, and looked at everyone he could see.

Considering that there are many foreigners in the base now, Fang Yi said a short sentence and added a gesture: "I can't do it alone; I can add you, it's ok."

The employees included scabs arranged by Lao Ke, and Fang Yi's highly educated fans, but they didn't wait for the nurses to applaud first, because the fans were attracted by Fang Yi, and their minds were still buzzing at the moment.

The foreigners among the foreigners applauded first. These guys speak only Chinese, but they didn't fully understand Fang Yi's long series of words, let alone Fang Dao's good intentions.But Fang Yi made them feel different from the big bosses in East Asian class culture, a bit like the captain of a pirate ship, but not so carefree.

And he is much more handsome than the average captain, he is still a young and promising captain.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa~"

The applause was getting louder and louder, and everyone shouted, which was in contrast to the quietness before.Someone came over to punch Fang Yi and called him "Jack Sparrow Fang" with a smile. He walked around and confirmed that there were no angry eyes and public disturbances, and he was relieved.

At this time, William was projecting Base's "emergency salary increase plan" on the giant screen in the company lobby, and Lao Ke took the lead in jumping up to celebrate.

The chicken soup has already been given to someone, which solves a problem.
