Chapter 1,400 Industrial Magic is busy

[It seems that autumn has come early, the fragrant souls of the butterflies are far away from the flowers, the flowers have disappeared on the branches, and the autumn leaves are flying around in the sky - falling autumn. 】

Ye Ming said with great certainty: "It's not impossible, but it's too impossible. I know very well some of the characteristics of the eight major Hollywood companies. If they are asked to spend more, it is almost impossible, unless they are top-notch companies." Directors, top stars, no one will be stingy with investment."

Because of the top directors and top stars, this means that if the script is not too bad, then there will definitely be no problem with the movie's box office and it will definitely make money. The question is how much money it will make.

Therefore, no company will be stingy in investing in such a top Hollywood production crew. But Ye Ming's crew cannot be like this at all. Therefore, Ye Ming himself has great confidence that Universal cannot invest more money.

Alexander also said helplessly: "If there is no release, the company has no intention to invest money. At this time, the company means that it must be released in advance, preferably at Christmas. In this case, the Hulk will be released in the New Year It will be screened in the middle of the year, and we will screen it at the end of the year, which will greatly improve the company's performance. At this point, you have to believe in the company's plan.

As for money, Madoff agreed to invest more, but he wanted to increase his share of the movie. "

Ye Ming knew that this movie would make money, so he thought about it and said: "If that's the case, then I will use technical means to invest in it. It will be an additional investment by Madoff and I. We will use Brilliant Film and Television for the post-production special effects." If you do it, it will be counted as investment. In this case, Universal's investment will basically be diluted to a very small amount. Has Universal considered this?"

Because it is a movie that will definitely make money, Ye Ming has long wanted Madoff's shares on this issue, but in fact Madoff is just trying to launder money. Therefore, on this issue, Universal wants Madoff's shares. Madoff made additional investment, and he agreed without hesitation, five million. To be honest, it was not a big sum of money for Madoff. As long as the money could be laundered, it didn't matter if the box office was not good enough. of. This is also an important reason why Madoff would increase investment so easily. He also wanted the movie to be released as soon as possible and complete the money laundering plan as soon as possible.

At this time, Ye Ming will naturally not let Madoff get what he wants. His own investment is already less than Madoff. On such a problem, if Madoff adds another five million at this time, then his investment will be less than that of Madoff. The investment will be diluted. Therefore, at this time, Ye Ming decisively said to invest in technology and do post-production special effects. But if we do this, Universal's shares will be diluted. I don't know how Universal looks at this problem.

Alexander didn't even think about it: "The company has also thought of inviting you to make additional investment in this matter, but they are afraid that you will not agree. Now if you are willing, that would be the best. By the way, is the technology of Huihuang.com good? If it fails, it will be a huge harm to the movie."

Ye Ming said with a smile: "Don't worry about this. In fact, even if you don't tell me, my company was responsible for the post-production special effects of Fast and Furious. Don't you believe in our company's technology? Just this video technology patent, Our company will be able to make a lot of money.”

These words left Alexander speechless. The video patent technology of Brilliant Film and Television is indeed a headache. It is not easy to crack. At least until now, these patents have not been completely cracked. Therefore, Ye Ming is fully qualified to say such things.

At this moment, Alexander really shouldn't doubt Ye Ming's skills. He immediately nodded and said: "Okay, if you must insist on doing it like this, then I think there should be no problem, but in terms of cost, it should be It is a rule to let a specialized financial company review it." Although I agreed to let Huihuang.com do the post-production work, my brothers settled the accounts clearly. The issue of expenses must be transparent, and there must be no misappropriation or anything.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "This is my own movie. I have no habit of holding back on my own movies. I will definitely do my best. As for the specialized financial company, there is no problem with this. Everything will be done in accordance with the regulations at once." Follow the rules. And after I do the post-production, I will let everyone take a look at it on a small scale. If you are not satisfied, just let others do it again."

Alexander said with great certainty: "It is impossible to repeat this matter. It is too late. Of course, I am more confident about your company's technology. As long as the company's people review you If there are no technical problems with previous works, then everything can be settled.”

Naturally, this matter is not decided by Alexander alone. After all, he is just a producer, not the boss of Universal. Therefore, in such a matter, if there is any decision, he must listen to the company.

But at this time, Alexander said there was no problem. As long as there were no big mistakes in the technology of Huihuang.com, there should be no problem. Anyway, in the later stage, it will be done the same for everyone, and the wealth will not flow to outsiders. Americans are also very clear about this.

Of course, even if you are your own partner, you cannot be wrong in reviewing the technology of Huihuang.com. Rules are rules. Universal must know that Ye Ming is skilled in this area and will leave the post-production work to him. . On this point, Alexander said it very clearly.

Ye Ming said it was nothing, nodded and said: "There is no problem at all. The rules are the rules. When everyone signs the contract, just let the people from Universal come and inspect it. I dare say, if the people from our company can do it as well as you in the later stage, If you are not satisfied, then Hollywood, basically you don’t need to find another company to do post-production for you.” In this regard, Ye Ming is actually very confident.

Alexander said that there is no problem. As long as everything is done according to the rules, these things are easy to do. Hollywood is a place like this. As long as there is money to be made and as long as it is done according to the rules, then everything is fine. He even said that as long as you make money, even if you don't follow the rules, then such a thing is not a big deal. What's more, Ye Ming followed the rules. Alexander couldn't decide these things himself, so he naturally had to go back to the company to report and hear what the board of directors would decide.

Now he will basically not stay on the set of Fast and Furious. Even if he has nothing to do and is too busy, he will not casually join the set of Fast and Furious.

Therefore, after arriving, after talking about things, leaving directly is a habitual action of Alexander. Moreover, this also means to express to the company that I am the producer of Fast and Furious. There is nothing wrong with it, but at this time, there is no How to participate in the production of the movie? Therefore, if the box office of Fast and Furious is not good enough, then this issue has little to do with me at this time. As for the box office of Fast and Furious, Alexander basically doesn't believe it.

Ye Ming said with great confidence: "Lucas Industrial Magic is one of the best special effects companies in the United States and even the world. It is truly top-notch special effects. If the film wants to get a number one result, , then the best choice at Universal seems to be Lucas’ Industrial Magic, right?”

Yes, many of the special effects of movies are made in Industrial Magic. In fact, this is a company specially founded by Lucas for his movie Star Wars. Of course, in the end, this movie special effects company developed into the top special effects company in Hollywood. One, he also did a lot of special effects for other movies, such as The Last Day, Forrest Gump, Jurassic Park, Saving Private Ryan and other classic Hollywood movies, all of which were produced by Lucas. Special effects made of industrial magic.

Therefore, Universal's better choice is actually Lucas' Industrial Magic.

Even Alexander cannot deny this. Therefore, at this time, Alexander nodded and said: "If it's almost the same, I might choose Industrial Magic. After all, this is one of the top technical representatives, and Lucas is quite experienced in doing secondary work. I think the movie If you want to have good special effects, it is better to find a top production company to do the special effects." To be honest, even now, Alexander has not seen the works of that big company, so at this time, it is not It may be said that he has great confidence in Ye Ming's brilliant film and television.

After all, Lucas's industrial magic gained fame through classic Hollywood movies. Although the price of industrial magic's special effects is very high, the effect of his special effects does not mean that some 50-cent gangsters can In comparison, you get what you pay for, and the special effects of Industrial Magic are actually quite powerful. From 1975 to now, industrial magic has been one of the top special effects in Hollywood. From this point of view, we can see how powerful the foundation of industrial magic is. On the contrary, Huihuang Film and Television has basically not achieved much in this regard. It's no wonder that Alexander is not very reassured on this point.

Ye Ming nodded and said: "That's right. As one of the best special effects companies in Hollywood, Industrial Magic does have something to be proud of when it comes to a problem like this. Although the price is higher, if it is left to Industrial Magic, it is indeed It’s reassuring, but the board of directors of Global Global must think about one thing about this matter, and that is why Industrial Magic was established in such a matter.”

Why was Industrial Magic founded? Almost everyone in Hollywood is very clear about this, and even movie fans across the United States are probably very clear about this. After all, this is the beginning of a very Hollywood. Alexander would be remiss if he did not know this.

Therefore, Alexander said without hesitation: "Of course I know this, because when Lucas was producing the special effects for Star Wars, there was no suitable special effects company in the United States, so Lucas I just established a company myself, called Industrial Lighting and Magic, or Industrial Magic for short.”

This origin is indeed very interesting to talk about. It's unintentional. Lucas never thought that industrial magic would have such a big influence since ancient times.

Ye Ming clicked on the picture and said: "That's right, Mainz is indeed like this. Now if you expect industrial magic to help Fast and Furious do special effects, it is almost impossible. The industrial magic that Lucas established for Star Wars, You know, Lucas was working on the Star Wars prequels at this time, and now Star Wars: Attack of the Clones is out.

Lucas is busy working on the Star Wars prequel: Revenge of the Sith. This movie is the focus of industrial magic now. Basically, industrial magic no longer accepts special effects from other movies. Almost all industrial magic serves Star Wars.

Therefore, even if Universal has a big reputation and can let Industrial Magic do special effects for Fast and Furious, then on a question like this, at this time, specifically how much effort Industrial Magic will put into doing special effects for Fast and Furious , on this point, the people who know it are much less good. Do you believe this? "

Alexander was speechless. He was really speechless. It is indeed like this. The entire industrial magic was established after the filming of Star Wars. Now if we are filming the Star Wars prequels, then on such a problem, industrial magic Naturally, he said that he would focus on Star Wars.

As for other movies, it is very similar to what Ye Ming said. Even if the industrial magicians want to take on other jobs, it is probably impossible to find the manpower to do it. Even if it is due to human kindness, no one can guarantee how much energy Industrial Magic will devote to helping you create special effects. Therefore, Alexander can be said to be the real Alexander now. He really doesn’t know what to do.

Now if it is said that there is no industrial magic for special effects, then on this question, how many companies in Hollywood can replace industrial magic? This probably means that few companies can replace Industrial Magic. This is the most embarrassing part.

Therefore, Alexander nodded and said: "Okay, I will explain this situation to the board of directors, but in Hollywood, there will not be more than three companies that replace industrial magic, maybe only two, I can't guarantee how this matter will change. Mr. Ye, your brilliant film and television company must compete for this mission based on its strength." (To be continued)
