The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 321 Double Happiness
Breaking through [-] million box office in seven days is definitely something worth celebrating, but with the current box office trend, "Let's Punch, Dad" may have a hope of earning [-] million box office in the future, and there will definitely be a large celebration party at that time .

Then there is no need to hold a celebration banquet this time when it breaks [-] million.

However, the main creators of the film got together to have a meal, took a few photos by the way, and sent them out to say "celebrate breaking [-] million", so that the media can hype it.

So at 2005 pm on June 6, 23, at the Landmark Hotel, Li Shengyao hosted a banquet for Li Youbin, Lei Min, Guo Zhenni, Liu Shishi and others. Of course, this place is close to the company, and the company's senior management in Beijing also came.

At 09:30, the banquet broke up, and the actors and some high-level executives left.

Only Li Shengyao and Wu Wenhui were left.

"Boss, will that guy come over?"

Li Shengyao shook his head.

The release of "Initial D" made Li Shengyao suddenly think of the production of this movie. There are a lot of turning and drifting scenes in the movie. Most of these scenes use digital special effects to make the driving movements of the protagonists even more cool.

The special effects of "Initial D" were mainly completed by Digital Domain Special Effects Film and Television Company, which is a special effects company on Hong Kong Island.

The strength is not bad. Later, many movies will ask them to do special effects.

But, it's mainly the movies on Hong Kong Island, the mainland film companies, and investors don't trust the companies on Hong Kong Island.

Li Shengyao naturally didn't believe it. Special effects are a very expensive thing. He would rather train his own special effects team than hire a Hong Kong Island company to do it.

Although his films don't need a lot of post-processing special effects now, there will inevitably be times in the future.

So Li Shengyao recalled it carefully, and finally reminded him that there were a few young people engaged in this field of work at this time, and they hadn't found a suitable place to stay at this time, which happened to be a place for Li Shengyao to pick up.

The young man he was looking for was Wang Xuan, one of the co-founders of Tiangong Yicai.

There are very few talents in this field, and with a little reputation, many people know about it.

Li Shengyao arranged for people to go down, and soon found Wang Xuan, his assistant contacted Wang Xuan, expressing his love for him.

The two parties had agreed to meet tonight.

Today happened to be the time when the news of "Let's Punch, Dad" grossed over [-] million yuan spread, and this timing was more conducive to Lee Sheng Yew's pretentiousness.

But they didn't expect to meet at eight o'clock, but Wang Xuan hadn't come yet.

"I don't know, maybe something happened to him."

Wu Wenhui didn't care much about Wang Xuan. He was a top student at Tsinghua University. He believed that as long as he wanted to, he could recruit a group of people from Tsinghua University at any time, even if he wanted to do special effects.

"Boss, I can recruit people in Tsinghua University."

Li Shengyao glanced at Wu Wenhui and shook his head.

Wu Wenhui opened his mouth, but he didn't speak, his expression slightly unnatural.

The Fenghua video was established by his classmates, and the Qidian Chinese website was established by his friends. Now his power in Fenghua is already very large.

A few days ago at a class reunion, someone reminded Wu Wenhui to respect Li Shengyao and not to behave too casually.

He felt that maybe Li Shengyao was worried about his people forming a special effects department, and he would be the master of the game at that time.

Li Shengyao noticed Wu Wenhui's expression, vaguely understood what Wu Wenhui meant, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not that I don't trust you, but the production of special effects requires a lot of experience."

Whether it is special effects for film and television post-production, or special effects for animation games, it takes a lot of time and money to learn and digest.

Especially for post-production special effects in film and television, not only must there be strong technology, but also a certain aesthetic.

Only in this way can the corresponding expression effect be achieved.

Technology requires accumulation, while aesthetics requires talent.

It's not that Li Shengyao doesn't believe that Tsinghua doesn't have such talents, but if he can, he is naturally more willing to use a team that already has good skills, rather than novices, to retrain.

In Li Shengyao's previous life, Wang Xuan's team will join Huayi next year, and then help Huayi make movies, "Assembly" and "Di Renjie: The Empire of Heaven", both have their shadows.

That is to say, the Wangxuan team is here, they can plug and play.

Li Shengyao then explained the matter to Wu Wenhui.

Wu Wenhui was a little ashamed when he heard this. Li Shengyao had always trusted him, but he doubted Li Shengyao's strength.

"Boss, I..."

"Small things, don't think too much."

At this moment, there was a sound of hurried footsteps outside, and the assistant ran in, "Boss, I just received a call from Wang Xuan. He said that a friend was sick and hospitalized, and his phone was broken, so he didn't rush over."

Li Shengyao nodded, "Is he still coming?"

"Come on, say you'll be here in half an hour."

"Okay, I'll wait for him."

"Let's Punch, Daddy" box office is good, Lee Sing Yew is in a good mood and has time.

In less than half an hour, Li Shengyao saw Wang Xuan. He looked 27 or [-] years old, with a square face and a pair of glasses. He was dressed like an ordinary techie. He wore a black and white plaid shirt with light blue jeans and a pair of sneakers. , At this time, he was sweating profusely, and looked a little panting.

"Director Li, I'm sorry, I'm late."

Li Shengyao shook his head, "Have a cup of tea and take it easy."

After a while, Li Shengyao introduced Wu Wenhui, and then said directly: "I want to form a digital special effects team belonging to Fenghua. Money is not a problem. Even if I can't get a job, I will invest at least 1000 million every year and let you learn. I am the only one The only requirement is that you sign a long-term contract, how about it?"

In Li Shengyao's previous life, Wang Xuan and the others entered Huayi in [-] and left after six years.

Li Shengyao needs these people to stay for at least five or six years, and the corresponding data on technology development must be kept, so that even if this group of people leaves, it will be easier for the follow-up people to take over.

Of course this doesn't necessarily happen.

Whether it is Fenghua Video or the special effects team, he will gradually spin off in the follow-up to give these departments greater rights.

It can even go public and give the top management a certain amount of shares, allowing them to make money and have autonomy.

Wang Xuan scratched his head when he heard the words, but didn't answer.

"I have always been very open-minded. In my conception, the digital special effects team will be very important. It will not only help Fenghua in the post-production of film and television, but also provide post-production special effects for other companies."

"Another very important point is that I will spin off the special effects team in the future and set up a studio or subsidiary company dedicated to you. If you who are engaged in special effects have ideas and want to make your own film and television dramas, I will do the same. Understand, as long as the project is reasonable, I can guarantee that the company will definitely support it.”

Director Li's first movie broke [-] million in seven days, so he is undoubtedly a very powerful person.

Fenghua still has a large number of TV dramas and theaters to support it, so there is no problem with funding.

Wang Xuan heard the conditions he wanted, and said excitedly: "Director Li, we are willing to join Fenghua."

"Okay, get ready to sign, you won't regret it."

Li Shengyao was also a little excited. Some of the films in his plan would use digital special effects, and he needed a more mature special effects team.

In the future, one of the famous Tiangong Yicai team will come to handle things for him, and his movies will be even more exciting.

"Come on, double happiness is coming to the door today, let's have a toast."
