Coquettish Rebirth

The special effects personnel here are thinking about the method of making special effects. On the other side, Jia Hongjian and the others are also checking the photos taken by the digital camera, and then they get the film to attract them and edit them together with the original 35-inch film. .I have to say that the effect is not bad—although I can’t say how clear it is, but under normal screening conditions, it still looks ok. At least Jia Hongjian shouldn’t be able to see any problems when playing with a cvd or other machine. , Looking at the dvd, it is estimated that there is no problem. When it comes to the bd Blu-ray disc after the digital restoration of later generations, it should be able to see some small resolution problems and skin problems.However, this is the reason of the times after all. It is impossible for a professional-level digital SLR in this year to say that it will have a resolution of 1000 million or more than 2000 million on the basis of maintaining a single-resolution photosensitive area, so if the future is BD After melting, there must still be a little blemish.But in any case, at least now there is no need to switch to a traditional film SLR, otherwise there will be one more troublesome thing of transcription.

Anyway, a test here is done.The next thing is that Cheng Long is going to lead a team to the UK to shoot a film.The behind-the-scenes team of this film can be said to be a mixture of China and the United States-not only related to Hollywood shooting, lighting, recording, coordination, executive production, stage costumes, props, and makeup recommended by Spielberg, but on the other hand , For example, some royal cameras, martial artists, etc. are from Hong Kong and Chengjiaban. Finally, there are a large number of mainland employees in this film-such as various scenes, assistants, and other unimportant positions. .

Why are mainlanders put into such unimportant positions?It's not that Jia Hongjian worships foreigners—although this film is aimed at hitting the American market.But that doesn't mean it's only targeting the US market!The Hong Kong market and the mainland market still need to be taken care of!As for the Hong Kong market, there are not too many restrictions, but what about the mainland market?If half of the actors and crew in mainland China were not filled, then it would be impossible to have such an identity as a co-producer!For example, many co-productions in later generations also follow this path. For example, find a mainland actor, and then get a bunch of behind-the-scenes staff from the mainland to attract investment from the mainland. This is a co-production status, and then the version is actually released. And cut out almost no mainland actors, and then you can avoid the quota of imported films!

Then why didn't Jia Hongjian leave more important positions for mainlanders?The reason is also very simple.In this era, the level of relevant personnel in the mainland can't keep up.Whether it is pure professionalism or tacit cooperation, it is not enough for Hong Kong and the United States to have an advantage.At the same time, like the executive producer, he went to the scene in advance to carry out various coordination, looking for a car, finding a relationship and closing the road.That's not something that can be eaten in Europe - at least you have to know the rules there.At least the language is not a problem?So the location of this key point.Then you still have to find Europe and the United States.In the end, it was like make-up, which obviously couldn't be compared with Hollywood, so it came to the end.The personnel in this mainland can only do box lunches, clean the venue, take notes on the spot, run errands, deliver water, and help as assistants.

Here, Cheng Long and the others flew to England, but Jia Hongjian didn't fly there, he went to the United States first.Why did he go to America first?Because he still has some business and some things that he needs to pay attention to-it will be October soon, and the Yota all-in-one machine in the United States will be on sale soon!Such a thing aimed at Jobs is about to be released, so of course Jia Hongjian must pay attention to it!In particular, this product was released two weeks before Apple's imacg10!That is to toss Jobs in all kinds of ways!That's right!Although participating in Cheng Long's movie is very fun and enjoyable, but the filming of this movie took a long time, and it's not even good to say that he, Jia Hongjian, is the boss. When the camera is turned on, everyone lives in a hotel and waits for Jobs to come back after he gets sick. This is not impossible!Don't we make money just to do things according to our own ideas as much as possible, and to spend as much money as possible to buy comfort!

When we have no money, we may encounter things that have been difficult to balance loyalty and filial piety since ancient times, but if we have money, we can do more!It's like going home during the Spring Festival. If we don't have money, we can only say that we can only go home after the boss has a holiday.But now that we have money, we don’t care about work anymore, or that half a year after opening is enough for a year, so we care so much? Chinese New Year at the end of January, we can go home on New Year's Day!Then go all the way until March before coming back!How cool is this?Isn't the money earned going to be used in this kind of place?Isn't it just so that we won't have all kinds of last resorts due to various small reasons!

After Jia Hongjian arrived in the United States, he came to ams company.The old man Olsen really warmly received Jia Hongjian, and his enthusiastic attitude is hard to describe—the old man's face was flushed, as if a young man had made money in business for the first time!That excited look made Jia Hongjian wonder whether he should find medicine for the old man's heart attack! "Hey, old man, why are you so excited, do you need me to find medicine for you?" Jia Hongjian half-jokingly reminded the old man to calm down.In the end, the old man smiled and said: "Haha, it's okay, I can still hold on to this excitement. You don't know it during this time, and now our product reservations have reached 4 units! Our first 5% of the 80 mainframes ordered with Hon Hai have already been booked out, and only 5 units need to be sold, so I ordered another 700 units. Do you know that the price we ordered this time is already so cheap $[-] for one!"

Whoa!The old man never told Jia Hongjian about this!But Jia Hongjian wasn't very angry—in fact, if he really wanted to sell only 12 units and then why not, he would definitely tell the old man in advance!Jia Hongjian may make mistakes in film, but he will never make mistakes in business!At least you won't make such low-level mistakes!From a certain point of view, after this kind of renewal, the cost reduction is absolutely certain-according to Moore's Law in the IT industry, within 18-[-] months, the performance of the product doubles, and the price drops Half, half a year has passed since the first order, and the cost has dropped by three or four hundred dollars. Isn't this a normal thing?

Just like Casio in history, or other manufacturers, they actually made money in this way—everyone knows that they can make money in the middle and later stages, so they didn’t make large-scale production in the early stages, but relied on advanced products to build word-of-mouth, and then word-of-mouth expanded After that, or when the other party wants to make word of mouth, they will start to increase the volume. At this time, the cost of materials and the like has dropped a lot. After increasing the volume, they will make a lot of money according to the previous pricing. The word-of-mouth and attention of the opponent, and when the opponent wants to make more money, I simply lower the price to hit the opponent's market!According to this model, Casio almost dominated the calculator market in Japan!

Even this kind of thing is common in later generations of China!For example, the very popular Xiaomi mobile phone around 2012, so every time I put it on the machine, I put less, why?In fact, it is a limited edition, which is the same word of mouth as Casio.It's just that Casio uses powerful functions to make word of mouth, and he uses cheap price to make word of mouth!So it's cheap, and everyone is rushing to get it, so it's only limited!Otherwise, a machine hardly makes any money, and this millet has sold tens of millions of units?Then, after the word-of-mouth was promoted and everyone became interested in it through hunger marketing, that is, after about half a year, the cost of materials dropped a lot, even according to the configuration and pricing that were hardly profitable half a year ago. Now I can make a lot of money, so I started to let people order more!

In the commercial field, there is a special term for that!This is called "forward pricing"!What is forward pricing?That is to say, it may not make money or make little money at the beginning, but after a period of time, that is, it will reach the "long-term", the cost of materials and accessories will drop, and then the workers will become proficient, and the production line will run in well. If you increase the volume, you will earn a lot!Similarly, like Sony's ps series game consoles, it was advertised at the beginning that Sony would lose as much money as they sold a machine.yes!Maybe they did lose money in the first six months of developing one, but Jia Hongjian can guarantee that they won't lose money after selling it for half a year!why?Because they order in bulk!And it's a single model!As time goes by for this single model, the material cost will be much lower than the usual market price when the quantity is increased!To use an inappropriate analogy, Apple makes a single model of host, and he can control the cost to, say, $500. But for the same thing, if you, an ordinary consumer, go to the market to order it, the whole set may cost $1000 or even more. expensive!why?Because the order quantity of accessories for a single model is large enough!

In this way, upstream accessory manufacturers can earn very little for each accessory in order to run traffic!At the same time, due to the loss of time, the material cost is also falling!So this forward pricing is really a profitable trick!Back to Jia Hongjian’s YOTA all-in-one machine, even if Jia Hongjian’s machine made half and half of the money, it was not much worse, and the gross profit was at least 50%!Then, through the reduction of material costs, there is basically a gross profit of nearly 70%!They can basically make around $1500 for a machine!What is this concept?
