Became the best actor, the system just finished loading

Chapter 246 Blindness (asking for monthly ticket)
Qi Hao plans to go to Hong Kong soon to inspect the company's situation as the boss.

I will mobilize everyone at that time.

Qi Hao also planned to introduce his special effects company into the National Comics Development Alliance. It just so happened that he invested money in animated films, and the animated films paid to hire his special effects company.

Of course, it is not mandatory.

Without a sense of competition, special effects companies will definitely not develop well.

In this circulation process, both special effects companies and animation studios can grow.

At present, many domestic films have begun to involve special effects.

Qi Hao had to develop the Naughty Ghost Studio as soon as possible, in case he was not ready when the market took off.

Among the three training NPCs, Li Xuejian is one of them, so he is the right one to choose without a doubt.

After making the selection, the system finally prompted the training space to upgrade.

An additional director training function has been added.

After the director task was released, the director training function was immediately upgraded. I have to say that Brother Tongzi is becoming more and more considerate now.

From now on, a director category will be added to the training NPCs, and Qi Hao can capture directors.

The training space is divided into actor training area and director training area.

I don’t know if there will be other training grounds in the future.

It's both unlocking and stealing, it's really scary when you think about it.

In the director training ground, you can select a movie related to a director NPC and recreate the filming process of the movie.

Of course, many movies take several months to shoot, and they can certainly be paused, fast-forwarded, and skipped in the training space.

You can also interact with the director during the learning process.

It’s a shame that I can’t interact with other behind-the-scenes personnel, and if I haven’t captured the actors involved, I can’t interact with the actors in the movie.

If you look at it this way, it is more cost-effective to capture a versatile director.

For example, he can direct, write, edit, and take photos...

For example, Chen Xunqi, he knows a lot of things.

For example, Li Zhongzhi, he is a martial arts instructor.

For example, Mai Zishan, he is the best editor in Hong Kong.

Then came what Qi Hao was looking forward to, which was to get a script, choose the director and actors himself, and organize a team to make a movie. However, this time, such a function was not provided. It seems that the goal of having a bunch of movie kings and queens make a movie together is still a long way to go.

Even so, this new feature is pretty cool.

The new task was within Qi Hao's expectations; it was only a matter of time.

For Qi Hao now, being a director and making movies is not difficult at all. He has already made three movies.

But it does take time to complete.

Moreover, the dog system blocked his path to exploit bugs.

Now you can’t just shoot one scene and consider the mission accomplished.

This time, the work must be released.

If you make a short film, you will probably have to put it on an online platform or TV station. If you make a movie, you will definitely need to ask for it to be released.

Two years is relatively ample time.

It takes two or three months to shoot, and three or four months to schedule post-production review, so it may not be used in a year.

If you want it faster, half a year is fine.

The mission rewards are really eye-opening.

Deception +10.
With this, combined with Stealing +10 and Lockpicking +10, I feel like I can find another job.

However, deception may not be useless in the entertainment industry.

Well, it’s also more effective to use it for dating.

Dear, I love your soul and I am not interested in your body at all.

That's not called cheating, that's called a white lie.

Forget about the rewarded script "I Am Legend". In fact, even if they had received the script that year, they would not have been able to film it in mainland China, and they would have had to make some changes. And once a movie is changed, without the Hollywood market and distribution channels, it would have been impossible for it to have a box office of 5.85 million US dollars.

Finally, there are 800 million shares of BYD.

In October 2009, BYD’s share price rose to as high as HK$10, and is currently still fluctuating around HK$88.

In other words, 800 million shares of BYD are worth more than 6 million yuan.

Qi Hao remembers a piece of news. Last year, Buffett bought BYD shares from the Hong Kong stock market. He bought 2.25 million shares. At that time, BYD's Hong Kong stock market price was a little over 6 Hong Kong dollars. Buffett bought it at a premium of 30% at 8 Hong Kong dollars. The total transaction price was 18 billion Hong Kong dollars, about 2.3 million US dollars, making him a major shareholder with a shareholding of more than 5%.

I don’t know whether the 800 million shares given by the system were before or after 08.

Even if you buy it for a little more than 6 Hong Kong dollars, it will cost almost million Hong Kong dollars.

Where did he get so much money!

As for the previous Moutai and Sina stocks, even if they were bought at a low price, they could easily be traded for tens of millions.

The system quickly gave an explanation.

The host did not only speculate on these stocks. He started buying and selling stocks shortly after his debut and has been managing it over the years.

There are only a few stocks that I am optimistic about, so I have kept them until now.

Well, that's reasonable.

You are the Lord, and everything you said is right.

A few days later, Qi Hao set off for Hong Kong.

He did not go alone. He brought Wang Chuan from Qingqingshu Animation Technology Co., Ltd., Tian Xiaopeng from October Digital Animation Studio, and Yang Yu from "Jiao Keli" Animation Studio.

Tian Xiaopeng once created the main opening for the "2006 CCTV Spring Festival Gala", created the "Spider-Man" game trailer in 2007, and served as animation director.

He's actually doing pretty well.

However, he is also very ambitious and is not satisfied with these small-scale actions.

He wanted to make a real animated film.

Since 2008, he has been preparing an animated film called "The Monkey King: Hero is Back".

Funding was one of the biggest obstacles. Not only did it drain his personal savings, but even his attempt to raise funds through crowdfunding failed.

Xihao Pictures is casting a wide net and is planning to invest in an animation studio.

Worried about money, he decided to sell himself, only to regret that he was only asked for 20% of the shares. The money he could get was not much, far from enough for him to complete "The Monkey King: Hero is Back".

Fortunately, Qi Hao is very optimistic about "The Monkey King: Hero is Back".

He felt that starting with the traditional IP would be safer than Wang Chuan's Kuiba, so he has decided to invest in "The Monkey King: Hero is Back".

As for Yang Yu from the "Jiao Keli" animation studio, he has an animated short film called "Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon".

He is quite famous in the circle.

But fame can't make a living, so he had to turn to capital.

His studio was set up temporarily, with only "Hit, Hit a Big Watermelon" under its name, and he is the only employee. Xihao Pictures valued him at five million, and 20% is one million.

With one million, he began to get eager to create new works.

He and Tian Xiaopeng got along very well and kept talking about animated movies in the waiting hall.

In addition, several animation companies, including Xuan Ji Technology, which started with "The Legend of Qin", and Fantawild Animation, which was invested and established by Shenzhen Huaqiang Group, have received investment from Xihao Pictures.

Why don't you want the money?

As long as the valuation is high enough, financing is a very popular practice in the business market.

There are few companies that can grow and develop without financing.

Although Ma Huateng holds only about 12% of Penguin's shares, it does not prevent him from ranking first on the IT rich list with a fortune of 239 billion.

Companies like Xuan Ji Technology and Fantawild Animation are not too short of money, but they were attracted by Xihao Pictures' National Comics Development Alliance and agreed with the development prospect of integrating resources through the alliance. In addition, Xihao Pictures gave them a relatively appropriate valuation, so they accepted the cooperation model in which Xihao Pictures held a 20% stake.

Qi Hao is not their boss, but they do work for Qi Hao.

The first round of the Eight Vajras almost covers all the animation companies with more potential in the industry.

To this end, Qi Hao invested more than 50 million yuan.

Tian Xiaopeng's "The Return of the Great Sage" has a production cost of 60 million yuan, but there is still a funding gap of 50 million yuan.

All in all, it cost more than 100 million.

For animation companies that don’t have any well-known works, the valuation can be determined based on their technology and concepts, and an estimate of a few million will be enough.

For a large animation company, 20% of the shares would cost tens of millions.

The animation market is rather cold right now. It was only at the beginning of the year when "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: The Ox" earned more than 600 million at the box office with a production cost of 8600 million, that everyone saw some hope.

But the key point is that "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf: The Bullish Spirit" still targets young children as its main customer base, which is inconsistent with the Japanese and Hollywood models that everyone wants to develop.

Qi Hao greeted the Eight Vajras from the first episode and said he was going to visit the special effects company of Xihao Pictures.

Does Xihao Pictures also have a special effects company?

Everyone was full of curiosity about this. Some bosses came personally, while others sent key employees to follow.

A group of people went on a business trip to Hong Kong.

In fact, Qi Hao has never been to the company.

However, with the system prompt, he was not panicked.

Moreover, the company sent a car to pick us up, and a minibus took everyone to the office building in one go.

Also coming to pick up the guests was studio director Zhang Chenyu.

Zhang Chenyu is a native of Hong Kong. After graduating from university, he went to the San Francisco Art Institute in the United States and received a master's degree in animation (visual effects). He has worked for many top special effects companies in Hollywood.

Later, he returned to Hong Kong to do special effects and set up his own special effects studio.

Unfortunately, the market was not good and the company took too big a step, leading to bankruptcy.

At that time, Qi Hao invited Hong Kong's famous visual effects artist Huang Hongda to join the Naughty Ghost Studio. After Huang Hongda refused, he recommended Zhang Chenyu to Qi Hao.

When Qi Hao and Zhang Chenyu met, they hit it off immediately.

Zhang Chenyu was parachuted into the role of boss of Naughty Ghost Studio.

Many projects in Hong Kong and Taiwan were brought to the studio by Zhang Chenyu herself,

Although he failed, he accumulated a lot of experience and connections. In addition, he had worked in Hollywood, so his vision and ability were outstanding.

The technicians from Hollywood also recognized him.

The studio doesn't have to worry about bankruptcy for a while.

Qi Hao has not shown up in public for many years and is very low-key. Many people thought that Naughty Ghost was the studio opened by Zhang Chenyu.

This time Qi Hao suddenly announced that he was coming, and Zhang Chenyu was actually very nervous.

He may not be able to say that he has absolute power in the company, but he is someone who has the final say. Over time, he has become accustomed to being the boss.

Now that the big boss showed up, he instantly realized that he was just an employee.

And he is the kind that Qi Hao can dismiss with just a word.
