Entertainment: The opening and the official announcement of the national goddess

Chapter 587 Special effects team with nearly [-] people
After the press conference, Zhang Xiao led everyone to visit the various green screen studios of "Zhu Xian".

Compared with "Interstellar", "Zhu Xian" needs to build more studios, and the special effects shots have increased by no less than three times, which is why the production cost of "Jade Xian" is as high as 40 billion.

"Zhang Xiao, how many special effects teams did you use? Why does it look like there are no less than a thousand people!" Liang Jiahui asked in surprise.

"Thousands?" Zhang Xiao shook his head, stretched out eight fingers, and said, "There are currently 8000 special effects personnel working for "Zhu Xian"."

"How much?" Liang Jiahui's shocked eyeballs almost fell to the ground, and the other actors were also extremely shocked.

A special effects team of 8000 people, this is too scary!

Zhang Xiaodao: "The construction of 42 studios involved 200 people, and the purchase and casting of various props and weapons totaled 730 people. The other 7000 people were divided into 35 teams and are doing special effects production in their respective studios. mold."

"Including water unicorns, three-eyed monkeys, Taobao, yellow birds, nine-tailed celestial foxes and other mythical beasts, as well as magic caves and wonderlands such as Qingyun Mountain, Dishui Cave, and Huqi Mountain."

"In another month, as the material we shoot continues to increase, the number of special effects personnel will also increase. I estimate that it should exceed 2 people at the peak."

"My goal is very clear, to complete all the special effects screens quickly and well, and strive to make the first part of "Zhu Xian" meet the global audience in the summer file next year."

Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Chen Daoming couldn't help but gasped, and said, "You play so big? Why do I feel that 40 billion is not enough!"

Zhang Xiao said in a deep voice: "40 billion is not enough, then 60 billion, 60 billion is not enough, then 100 billion, anyway, I can't let "Zhu Xian" suffer the slightest grievance, even if I lose all the money in the end, I also admit it."

Chen Daoming and Liang Jiahui looked at each other, and they both saw the respect in each other's eyes.

Reba stuck out his tongue and said softly, "100 billion? Oh my god, brother-in-law is too cruel!"

Zhao Xiaoying said with reverence: "The reason why Xiaoshen's movies can always break the box office record is because of this seriousness and dedication. This is the real filmmaker."

Zhang Xiao's words made all the actors feel excited.

The video of the opening press conference of "Zhu Xian" was also posted on the Internet when Zhang Xiao and the others visited the green screen.

It immediately attracted widespread attention from the industry and netizens.

"Xiao Shen is too personable, Chen Gang should study hard."

At the press conference of "Battle of the Red Cliff", Chen Gang's uncle and nephew spared no effort to attack Xiao Shen, but what about Xiao Shen?But I hope that "Battle of the Red Cliff" will be successful. The pattern between the two can be seen at once, and the roots are not on the same level. "

"Talent, tolerance, openness, and Chen Gang are all in a mess."

"Chen Gang is blind, what he sees is only an individual, but what Xiao Shen sees is the entire domestic movie.":
"The cost of "Battle of the Red Cliff" is 15 billion. At first I thought it was quite a lot, but now after seeing the 40 billion in "Zhu Xian", I think the former is very stingy."

"Upstairs, you'd better pay attention. Chen Gang has always been very successful, likes to bluff, and will exaggerate the production cost every time. His words are very watery, and the film costs reported by Xiao Shen are all real. Most of the time, even Both will be underreported, and the gap between the two must not be more than 25 billion."

"That's right."

"In a word, support Xiao Shen and "Zhu Xian"."

"···"

When netizens are discussing enthusiastically.

The crew of "Battle of the Red Cliff".

After Chen Gang finished filming the night scene, he went back to the hotel room and looked at the entertainment news, only to see that the headlines on the front pages of the major entertainment websites were news that Zhang Xiao's "Zhu Xian" had started.

The key is the content inside. The whole article is full of praise for Zhang Xiao and ridicule for him, Chen Gang. The final conclusion is that Chen Gang is far inferior to Zhang Xiao in every aspect.

This annoyed Chen Gang very much, his face was so gloomy that water dripped out.

"Old Chen, what's wrong with you?" Chen Gang's wife, Sun Fan, came out of the bathroom, saw Chen Gang's appearance, and asked.

Chen Gang threw his mobile phone on the bed, and cursed viciously: "These unscrupulous media are a bunch of bastards who are trying to gain power."

Sun Fan picked up his phone, looked at it, and said, "Old Chen, your task now is to make a good film of "Battle of the Red Cliff". Don't take it to heart."

Chen Gang nodded and said, "I know it's the truth, but when Zhang Xiao is involved, I can't control myself. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that Zhang Xiao is indeed a genius in the film industry."

Sun Fan said: "He is him, you are you, your relationship has reached this point, there is no room for relaxation."

Chen Gang said: "30 years in Hedong and 30 years in Hexi, don't bully the young and poor, this sentence is really true!"

At this moment, Chen Gang's cell phone rang suddenly.

"Hey, Xiao Wang, what's the matter?"

"Director Chen, according to your instructions, I contacted more than a dozen well-known special effects teams in the industry, but they all rejected our invitation on the grounds that they had too much business and couldn't spare time."

"Battle of the Red Cliff" also requires special effects in many places. Although Universal sent them a technically advanced Hollywood team, the number of them is less than 50 people, and it is impossible to fully carry out the work. Therefore, it is necessary to find a domestic special effects team. Cooperate.

Chen Gang asked the deputy director Xiao Wang to contact the domestic special effects team yesterday, but he did not expect such a situation to happen.

Chen Gang asked: "Have you checked it? Is their reason true or false?"

"The reason is true. I learned from one of my classmates that their special effects team signed a contract with Taishan Special Effects Company a month ago to do some special effects for "Zhu Xian."

""Zhu Xian?" Chen Gang frowned, and said, "Are more than a dozen well-known special effects production companies hired by Zhang Xiao?"

Xiao Wang said, "Not only that, there are already nearly ten thousand people doing special effects for "Zhu Xian", and they are still recruiting people, and the conditions for dismissal are also very generous, so everyone wants to join."

Hearing this, Chen Gang couldn't help taking a breath, and sighed: "This Zhang Xiao is really a big hand."

"Director Chen, what shall we do now?"

Chen Gang thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Seeing that Chen Gang hung up the phone, Sun Fan asked: "Old Chen, what does Zhang Xiao mean? Is he deliberately attacking our "Battle of the Red Cliff"?"

Chen Gang shook his head and said, "Even if Zhang Xiao is crazy with a special effects team of nearly ten thousand people, it is impossible for him to spend so much money every day just to hit us."

Sun Fan asked again: "Then tell me, can the production cost of "Zhu Xian" really reach 40 billion?"

Chen Gang said: "I didn't believe it before, but judging from the current situation, it's really possible."

As a director, Chen Gang is very clear about how expensive special effects are.

Zhang Xiao hired thousands of people every day, and the cost alone cost at least 2000 million a day.

If it is completed in three months, it will cost [-] billion, which is more than the entire production cost of "Battle of the Red Cliff".

Yay, bah, you are so rich.
