Huayu: Starting from intercepting Duan Yu

Chapter 148: Time Management Master, AI Program! (Subscribe!)

In a blink of an eye, another month and a half passed.

After three and a half months of filming, "Chinese Paladin 3" was finally officially wrapped up in mid-October.

Xu Yi also held a grand wrap-up banquet.

Then, after returning to the capital, Xu Yi immediately took Yang Mi, Tang Yan and Liu Shishi to the famous Rose Garden Villa Community in the capital.

After the Chinese New Year, he bought a villa here.

It’s not big, covering an area of ​​only 600 square meters.

The yard and garden occupy 360 square meters, and the building area is only more than 200 square meters.

There are four floors above ground and one floor underground, with an actual usable area of ​​1200 square meters.

It cost him a little over 3000 million in total.

In today's Beijing, it can barely be considered a relatively high-end villa.

But Xu Yi didn't use this villa to live in.

He set up an editing room in the villa.

We also got a lot of professional equipment for producing special effects.

That’s right, it’s about making special effects.

Xu Yi's special effects production skills have now reached the master level.

And the special effects production skill also comes with a programming skill.

He had previously written an AI program and was ready to try making special effects himself.

This is not because Xu Yi is thinking about saving money.

The money for special effects doesn't matter.

The main reason is that foreigners don’t have enough understanding of Chinese culture.

Or the special effects are not up to standard.

Or maybe they'll just consider you as Chinese and fool you with low-level special effects.

So in Xu Yi's previous life, when he first looked for special effects companies for "Nezha" and "The Wandering Earth", he was looking for foreign special effects companies.

Later, when I found that it didn't work, I switched to a domestic company.

"Fengshen" was not changed, and as a result it was questioned as a special effect costing 4500 yuan, not even 5000 yuan.

The special effects of the previous "Legend of Sword and Fairy" were because Xu Yi was always staring at it.

Combined with Xu Yi's own special effects production level and communication skills, the desired effect can be achieved.

So instead of doing this, it would be better for him to do it himself.

It saves money and effort, and you don’t have to worry about other people’s faces or be discriminated against.

However, even with the master-level special effects production skills, the AI ​​program written is still only at the weak AI level.

That is to say, it is slightly higher than the AI ​​level before his rebirth.

But there is still a long way to go before we can achieve strong AI with autonomous awareness.

Not to mention true super AI.

The most important thing is that today's hardware level is too low.

Therefore, using this AI program, Xu Yi alone can only produce Hollywood-level special effects at best.

That is to say, the special effects level is about the same as the previous "Legend of Sword and Fairy".

If we want to truly reach the level of Hollywood's top special effects, we must either continue to increase computing power or increase manpower.

Fortunately, this level of special effects is sufficient for a TV series.

At the same time, Xu Yi was not very satisfied with the ending of "Chinese Paladin 3".

So he planned to bring Yang Mi, Tang Yan and Liu Shishi together to shoot a hidden ending.

As for what the plot is, there is naturally no need to say more.

Anyway, Solanum nigrum has always liked Sedum.

Zixuan was not with Xu Changqing either.

So why not give him a bargain together...

No, it’s just cheap Sedum!

And since it’s a movie shoot, costumes and makeup are definitely essential!

The only pity is that Xu Yi has no space.

So in order to avoid accidents and repeat Teacher Chen’s mistakes.

I had to delete it after enjoying it...

This also made Yang Mi, Tang Yan, and Liu Shishi all breathe a sigh of relief...

For more than a month, Xu Yi worked on the special effects for "Chinese Paladin 3" in his villa during the day.

In the evening, I would either go to Tang Yan or Liu Shishi's place.

Either go to Yan Xinchen or Jiang Xin.

Occasionally I would go to Liu Yifei's house to spend the night.

If Fan Binbin and Gao Yuanyuan are free, they will go to the hotel.

If Jingtian and Yangmi go home on weekends, I will go to their place.

A true master of time management!
Liu Yifei, now a senior, also has few classes.

But even if she has classes, she rarely attends them.

In the entire Beijing University of Electronic Science and Technology, there is only Xu Yi, the king of skipping classes who has not attended a single day of class since his sophomore year.

I guess she skips the most classes.

But she was not idle either. She practiced singing, dancing and rap every day with the teacher hired by Sony.

Her first album is also in preparation.

If nothing unexpected happens, it will be officially released in a year at the latest.

At the same time, Liu Yifei would occasionally go to Jing Tian and Yang Mi's place.

But so far, she still can't accept being with Yang Mi.

So Xu Yi had to get rid of Yang Mi first.

Then go to Jing Tian's room and carry Liu Yifei to the next room...

More than a month later, all the special effects of "Chinese Paladin 3" were completed.

And it is already early December.

So next he has to go to Hong Kong City.

Then use those penguin shares to borrow money from banks.

Then go to the United States to shoot "Iron Man".

Since April this year, Penguin's stock has begun to rise as expected.

It has risen from HK$5 per share to nearly HK$10 per share now.

In this way, the Penguin stocks in Xu Yi's hands are worth more than 8 million Hong Kong dollars.

Even after deducting nearly 6 million Hong Kong dollars in leveraged funds, there is still more than million Hong Kong dollars left.

Equivalent to a net profit of more than 4 million Hong Kong dollars!

Even if the loan is 6% off with more than 7 million Hong Kong dollars, it can be borrowed into about 5000 million US dollars.

Together with other copyrights, a total of 1 million US dollars was loaned.

It shouldn't be a big problem.

There is also Huaxin Securities in the A-share market, whose stock price has finally started to move.

Xu Yi bought a total of about 3% of Huaxin Securities shares.

Although it’s certainly not a small amount.

But it is obviously impossible for the dealer to do so in order to prevent him from making money.

Just keep suppressing this stock and not letting it rise.

Not to mention that more and more people now know that the bull market of A-shares is coming. No matter how hard the bankers try, they can’t suppress it!
……

"Director Ning, it's been a long time since we last met. I heard you've been quite popular lately. Why did you think of coming to inspect me today?"

Yichuang Future, Xu Yi’s office.

Looking at Ning Hao who was looking embarrassed, Xu Yi teased with a smile.

Just before he was about to go to Gangcheng, Ning Hao suddenly came to him.

Xu Yi could naturally guess some of his purpose.

"Director Xu, President Xu, please stop joking with me. I'm too small to handle this!"

Ning Hao quickly apologized with a smile.

He wrote a script a long time ago and planned to make it into a movie.

Unfortunately, we have not been able to attract investment.

Later, he helped Xu Yi shoot the MV for his album and became one of the directors of "Chinese Paladin".

Finally, his pockets were a little fatter.

I also have some experience.

But this amount of money is definitely not enough to make a movie.

If he wanted to attract investment, others would see that he was preparing to make a movie.

And it is a modern film that has nothing to do with "Chinese Paladin".

Not very willing to invest.

Xu Yi did say that he could invest in him.

He refused because he didn't want to owe Xu Yi too many favors.

But some time ago, he finally found a good opportunity.

Andy Lau has launched an Asian Rising Star Director Plan, and is planning to use his salary from three films totaling 2500 million to support a group of new directors.

He also stood out very smoothly.

And he got Andy's promise to invest 600 million in his movie.

As a result, half a year has passed and there is no sign of the 600 million investment.

During this period, he also looked for Andy Lau several times.

The first time, Andy told him not to be anxious and to wait a little longer.

The second time Andy Lau said that his salary for the three movies was indeed 2500 million, but that was before tax, and only half was left after paying tax.

So I can only take out 1250 million.

The 600 million investment promised to him was reduced to only 300 million.

But since Andy said that, there was nothing he could do.

I had to go back and revise the script again.

This is enough to shoot with 300 million.

Who would have known that he would have to wait for several more months for the 300 million.

But I still haven’t seen even a penny!

"What are you talking about the Four Heavenly Kings? They can't even afford a few million. It's okay if they can't afford it, but they still insist on being in the spotlight!"

After talking about his experiences during this period, Ning Hao couldn't help but shook his head with a look of disdain.

In Xu Yi's previous life, for Han Sanping's sake, Andy Lau at least invested 100 million in Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone".

So even though Ning Hao was unhappy, he finally accepted the favor.

But at this time, Ning Hao clearly didn't intend to take Hua Zi's money anymore.

Naturally, I won't be polite to him anymore.

The so-called Four Heavenly Kings are just more famous.

In fact, his actual status and influence in the entertainment industry are not that great.

Just like Stephen Chow.

In Xu Yi’s previous life, when he was filming "Founding of a Republic", he got more than a hundred stars to star in it.

Stephen Chow, who hasn't acted in a movie for a long time, also wants to play a role.

As a result, even though he took the initiative to ask for help, he was still ruthlessly rejected.

Currently, the only Hong Kong and Taiwan star who can be said to have real status and influence in China is Fang Shilong.

Because only Fangshilong has truly opened up the Hollywood market and has international influence.

As I said, in China, the influence of Europe and the United States is the real influence.

The influence in other parts of Asia is completely useless.

Not to mention its influence in Hong Kong and Taiwan.

Now is no longer the time when we just returned a few years ago.

"People in Hong Kong are just like that. You'll understand once you get to know them more."

Xu Yi smiled, not surprised at all.

People in Hong Kong attach great importance to money.

This is the case with Andy Lau, Stephen Chow, and Chow Yun-fat.

It’s nothing, everyone likes money.

But the thing is, don't exaggerate.

So to deal with this kind of people, we have to do it like Hollywood does.

After signing in black and white, everything will be done according to the contract.

No humanity at all!

Of course, under normal circumstances, Xu Yi would not cooperate with this group of people.

"You didn't know it before, but now you know it!"

Ning Hao shook his head again.

He looked at Xu Yi with eager eyes again.

"Director Xu, please watch my movie..."

"How much is it?"

If Xu Yi remembered correctly, the final profit of "Crazy Stone" was around 1500 million.

Compared with the cost of 300 million, it is definitely a huge profit.

But to be honest, he doesn't care about this little money.

So if Ning Hao didn't ask for it himself, he would definitely not rush to invest.

"600 million, no, just 300 million will do!"

Ning Hao said.

In fact, before coming to find Xu Yi today, he had already made up his mind to ask Xu Yi directly for 600 million.

If you want to film his entire script, it will cost at least 600 million.

But at this time he subconsciously changed his words.

Because he himself doesn't know whether this movie can make money after it is made.

If it is other investors' money, then if you lose it, you lose it.

There's nothing we can do to him anyway.

But Xu Yi was kind enough to help him.

If he really lost Xu Yi's money, he would definitely feel guilty.

Moreover, Xu Yi's current status and influence in the entertainment industry are incomparable to Andy Lau's.

So it’s better to be safe.

This way, even if he lost money, he could still find a way to return the money to Xu Yi...
