Rebirth 2010: I add some points to be a boss

Chapter 155 The Technology That Disrupted the Film Industry

"Mr. Jiang, talk about your conditions."

Chen Heyu leaned back in his chair with a calm expression, wanting to see the chips in the opponent's hand.

"Le'an wants 40% of the overseas box office revenue of "The Wandering Star". In addition, I can help Shanhai Film and Television handle the film review, publicity and promotion, and the number of screens in the first week of release."

Jiang Zhiqiang said slowly.

The implication is that he will be responsible for the publicity expenses of Beiberry.

The film producers (including distribution) of Beautiful Country can get 45%-70% of the total box office revenue depending on the investment, genre, and box office performance of the film.

Jiang Zhiqiang's proposal is tantamount to eating more than half of the film's overseas income, so it can be said that he is not greedy.

"How much money does Le'an plan to invest in publicity?"

Chen Heyu frowned slightly, but he didn't immediately get angry just because the opponent's lion opened his mouth.

"One million dollars."

Jiang Zhiqiang answered quickly, apparently he had made full preparations before the visit.

"The production cost of "Wandering Earth" is 1.4 million US dollars, and the 1000 million publicity fee is [-] million. He wants to take more than half of the proceeds. Mr. Jiang really has a good plan."

Chen Heyu shook his head and flatly refused.

With this production cost, it can be regarded as an A-level blockbuster in the real world, on the same level as "Batman" and "Star Wars".

1000 million funds, that is the publicity standard for a B-grade movie!
"Mr. Chen, Chinese movies in the Beiberry market have the best box office prospects for martial arts and kung fu movies. Foreigners don't think that Chinese people can make excellent science fiction movies.

1000 million US dollars, I also took a certain risk.

If you think it’s too little, I can pay 1500 million US dollars and take the cooperation model of package buyout. "

Jiang Zhiqiang said with a smile.

His previous rhetoric was just a means to attract Chen Heyu, and his real purpose was to buy out the overseas distribution rights of "Wandering Star".

Chen Heyu is silent, the total overseas box office of "Wandering Star" in the previous life was more than 1000 million US dollars.

Jiang Zhiqiang's willingness to give 1500 million US dollars is already a conscience, but he is naturally not doing good deeds. In addition to box office revenue, a movie also has income from DVDs and TV.

Generally speaking, 1 million can be earned at the box office, and the income of TV programs will not be lower than this figure.

The other party has the cost of gambling, but there is a high probability that they will not lose money.

"The cost of publicity and distribution will be paid by mountains and seas. We will only use Le'an's channels and resources. Mr. Jiang will give you a reliable distribution price."

Chen Heyu thought for a while and asked.

"Wandering Planet" is Shanhai Film and Television's first real blockbuster. For this reason, he did not hesitate to adjust the research and development direction of Moss Research Institute.

Let more advanced artificial intelligence video effects come out.

The ultimate goal cannot be satisfied with a mere tens of millions of dollars!

"15%."

Jiang Zhiqiang replied.

Chen Heyu's reaction was beyond his expectation, stronger than Zhang Yimou, in front of him, he could only accept the buyout contract.

"10%, otherwise I would rather acquire a film distribution company in the beautiful country. You have to understand that I have the strength."

Chen Heyu directly refused.

Generally, the charging standard of issuing companies is basically between 8% and 15%. Jiang Zhiqiang charges the highest fee, obviously treating him as a noob.

"Pleasant to work with."

Jiang Zhiqiang agreed after thinking for a while.

In his opinion, "The Wandering Star" is a high-quality film project, and it won the distribution rights, but it's just a matter of earning more and less.

"Mr. Jiang, happy cooperation!"

Chen Heyu stood up and shook hands with him.

"Mr. Chen, are you so confident in this film? You know, there are only a handful of Chinese films that can achieve good results in the beautiful country."

Jiang Zhiqiang asked curiously.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" has a box office of 1.28 million US dollars, and "Hero" has a box office of 5300 million US dollars.

They can't even earn back the cost of publicity and distribution, which is why the vast majority of overseas film studios and distributors are only willing to buy out the price.

"Something, someone has to do it.

Since Mr. Jiang wants to hand over the special effects business of "Monster Hunt" to Future Technology, he simply took you to see the level of Moss Ai, and let me know the gap between us and Haolaiwu special effects company. "

Chen Heyu smiled slightly, motioning for Zhang Nan to go and make arrangements.

"my pleasure."

Jiang Zhiqiang said cheerfully, an imperceptible embarrassment flashed across his face.

"Monster Hunt" was a pretense for him to open up the topic. It was impossible for him to hand over such an important business to a fledgling special effects company.

Of course Chen Heyu was aware of it, so he said that on purpose.

"Mr. Chen, Mr. Jiang, you two come with me."

Zhang Nan pushed open the door of the conference room and led the way.

Then, everyone came to a work area, with a super-large display screen hanging on the white wall, below which were complex electronic instruments and an operating computer.

"Demonstrate the special effects of Moss AI, and its functions in character modeling and physical simulation."

Chen Heyu ordered.

"Yes, Mr. Chen."

The technician nodded, skillfully set the parameters, and created a mythical figure with a bull head and a human body based on keywords.

Also, a simple action and lines were written for the video clip.

A few minutes later, an image resembling the Bull Demon King appeared on the screen, holding a mixed iron rod, and said with a sad face: "When one day you find that you like someone you hate, this relationship is the most terrible."

"Mr. Chen, are you sure you didn't make a fake?"

Jiang Zhiqiang couldn't believe it, and asked in a deep voice.

This is completely created out of thin air, an era more advanced than the special effects of Haolaiwu!
"The 5000 special effects shots of "Wandering Earth" will be completed by it. This is the source of my confidence."

Chen Heyu said with a smile.

"Tomorrow, I will have my assistant contact your company, and I hope Mr. Chen can give me a preferential price."

Jiang Zhiqiang came back to his senses and understood that as the other party, he had no interest in deceiving him at all.

Moss Ai, a future technology company, really surpasses other special effects production companies in terms of rendering speed and creativity.

Then, there is nothing wrong with entrusting the special effects production of "Monster Hunt" to the other party.

"Don't worry, it will definitely be lower than other companies' quotations."

Chen Heyu smiled contentedly.

After the successful development of the Moss Ai special effects system, the biggest expenses are maintenance and hardware storage. For the special effects funds of hundreds of millions of movies, taking a few projects every year is enough to cover the cost.

Winning the special effects business of "Monster Hunt" is not his core purpose, but opening up the market situation of Moss Ai's special effects is worthy of joy.

Especially the other party is Jiang Zhiqiang, who is known as "the most successful producer in Yazhou". He personally certified that there will be no shortage of orders in the future.

"Try the physics simulation, come to the ultra-real footage of the moon disintegrating."

Chen Heyu continued to propose new instructions.

He wanted to convince Jiang Zhiqiang once and for all to leave a deep impression on the other party, and when there was a need for special effects production, he immediately thought of future technology.

Upon hearing this, the technicians directly operated in the background, called up videos related to the moon, mixed a series of clips of mountain bursts, and began to rapidly iteratively evolve.

After about 10 minutes, the system saved a 15-second video, looking up at the entire Milky Way from an overhead perspective.

The moon appeared in the center of the picture, and there was only a "bang" impact, and a huge meteorite fell on the surface of the moon.

The strong impact caused the moon to begin to disintegrate.

Terrible fissures cracked instantly on the ground, dust filled the sky, rocks flew up, and the cracks gradually expanded until the moon was divided into two halves.

"This! Only 10 minutes? The rendering speed is too strong!"

Jiang Zhiqiang said in surprise.

"Now it's just for demonstration, and the video resolution is reduced. If you want to achieve the picture quality required by the movie, the rendering speed will definitely be more than ten times slower."

Chen Heyu explained.

"No, no, this is already very advanced, Mr. Chen, this technology of your company is likely to subvert the film industry."

Jiang Zhiqiang praised.

Then, according to his own ideas, he asked the technicians to operate on the spot, and every generated video surprised him.

A few days later, Le'an and Future Technology signed a business cooperation agreement. Future Technology will be responsible for the special effects of "Monster Hunt".

The order amount is 2.6 million!
This is what Jiang Zhiqiang is most satisfied with. He has asked several special effects companies at home and abroad, and the minimum cost is 3 million Chinese dollars, and most of them ask for 3.5-4 million yuan.

This step saved him tens of millions, even 1 million!
"Future Technology won the right to produce special effects for "Monster Hunt", once again proving the strength of domestic high-tech!"

"The special effects of "Monster Hunt" are undertaken by Future Technology, and it is expected to present even more shocking visual effects!"

……

In the field of film special effects production, the most powerful spoiler has finally arrived.
