Chapter 40 Pillar Rail Car
Ye Ming took out a document and said: "If it's just a problem like this, then I think I have a solution to the problem. This thing should be able to solve the current problems the crew is encountering."
Sun Shupei took the document and looked at it. It was a patent certificate [column-type rail car].
Rail cars, this thing is very familiar to those who make movies.
But this was the first time Sun Shupei had heard of the column-type rail car.
From the bottom of his heart, Sun Shupei could feel that maybe the patent certificate in front of him could help him solve his problem.
A surprise flashed in his eyes, and then Sun Shupei said curiously: "What are the advantages of this column-type rail car that make you so confident?"
Ye Ming confidently said: "One of the biggest features of this column-type rail car is that during high-speed operation, or when the operation suddenly stops, there will be no shaking of the camera. Therefore, if a column is used, When it comes to shooting on a railway car, I think using Sony lenses would not produce the effect the director wanted at all.”
[Patent holder: Ye Ming]
Sun Shupei's eyelids twitched a little and he said, "Is this your invention?"
Ye Ming nodded politely and said, "That's right. The patent approval was only obtained two days ago. However, I have already conducted tests in the early stage and there is no problem."
He Xiuqiong immediately realized that this was a turning point and immediately asked: "If there are no problems after the director's test, the crew will use your column-type rail car."
Ye Ming called Li Dachuan to send the column rail car over.
Zhao Wei was dressed in elegant clothes, sitting under a sun umbrella and asked strangely: "Ye Ming, when did you invent the three-dimensional rail car? Why don't I know any news about it? You're good enough."
Fan Binbin interjected from the side and said: "I know, I know. Brother Ming and I went to the patent office together some time ago. I thought he was going to get something. It turned out to be a patent for a column-type rail car. As expected, Brother Ming was. It’s cunning enough, and it’s hidden deep enough.”
Zhao Wei majored in acting and had a sharp eye. Naturally, he could see the benefits of this column-type rail car at a glance. This was a technological change for filming movies and TV series. This change, and the track The car, as well as the improvement of shooting techniques with the emergence of the crane, is a revolution destined to be recorded in the annals of film history.
Director Sun Shupei immediately capped production for testing and passed a series of tests. I didn't notice any shaking, not even a slight tremor.
This is simply amazing.
Sun Shupei has been filming movies and TV series for so many years, and he knows exactly what this means.
There is only one way to reduce or avoid microtremors.
That is to use expensive lenses to control microshock within an acceptable range.
This kind of lens is usually not worth two to three hundred thousand, or even one million, so it is impossible to get it.
When Titanic was being filmed, it was said that the camera on the main camera alone was worth millions. It was one of the top cameras in the world.
Now, Sun Shupei finally discovered the second method, the column-type rail car.
Ye Ming said very proudly: "The column-type rail car will cause the shaking or micro-shocks generated by the rail car to act on the column through the transmission device. Therefore, the lens will not produce micro-shocks. The picture will achieve a perfect level of effect. .”
Seeing that this problem was solved, both the director and the actors felt very happy. At least, this will reduce a lot of unnecessary troubles during the filming process in the future, and the filming progress will be greatly accelerated.
At this time, Ye Ming saw that everyone was only talking about the joy and excitement. No one and money were the problem. He even said that even He Xiuqiong standing aside did not realize this.
She was just shocked by the invention in front of her. It didn't look very special and didn't have much high technology. However, no matter what, she understood how big a shock this would have on film and television shooting.
At this time, Ye Ming looked at the producer and director and said, "This column-type rail car is my patent. Do you two know what this means?"
Patents, what does this mean?
As a producer, He Xiuqiong is always more flexible than a director because she has to deal with money all day long.
Therefore, at this time, He Xiuqiong immediately said: "This pillar-type rail car of yours is indeed a great invention. Tell me how much it will cost to allow the crew to use it."
Suddenly, the noise of the entire crew stopped, and everyone realized that although this thing is good, the patent holder is still here.
If you use it, it cannot be used for free.
At this time, Ye Ming thought about it and said: "Twenty thousand yuan. If the crew uses it, just pay me a usage fee of 20,000 yuan. This is a friendly price. It is the first time I transfer the right to use it, so it is slightly lower."
Twenty thousand yuan was a friendly price. This shocked everyone present. Even Su Youpeng, who had the highest salary, was only five thousand yuan per episode. It was almost said that twenty thousand yuan was Su Youpeng's reward for four episodes. .
Chen Zhipeng was even lower, only four thousand yuan per episode, which made the two of them feel a strong sense of jealousy.
The two of them looked at Ye Ming with burning eyes.
Zhao Wei was shocked, as if a volcano had hit the earth. Ye Ming made such a big move without saying a word, which was simply breathtaking.
Lin Xinru looked at Su Youpeng and Chen Zhipeng with solemn expressions. It was difficult for anyone to guess what Ziwei Gege was thinking.
At this moment, Fan Binbin looked at Ye Ming with admiration. 20,000 yuan, that would be enough to eat Liangpi for many days.
Director Sun Shupei is a little unhappy. This newcomer is too ignorant. The crew uses your rail car, which means they are looking down on you.
At this time, Sun Shupei said unceremoniously: "Twenty thousand yuan, you really dare to ask for it."
He believed that for a newcomer to act so arrogantly, it was a bit disrespectful to his seniors.
Who knows, Ye Ming said unceremoniously: "I think it is worth spending 20,000 yuan to solve the problem that the director can solve for 300,000 yuan. Of course, the director can choose not to use it, and I will not force it."
Such rude words completely annoyed Sun Shupei. A newcomer dared to talk to him like this. This was simply an incredible thing.
Do you still want to join the crew?
The scene was full of gunpowder and the trend was about to break out.
Who knows, He Xiuqiong sent someone to the table and said, "That's enough. I'll give you 200,000 yuan. I won't keep the crew's accounts. However, our Zhongjie Company wants the joint ownership of the patent."
This is simply a thunder on the ground.
Two hundred thousand, what do I mean? It means that at this time, Ye Ming can buy a three-bedroom house in a good area of the capital. Even if it is within the third ring road, he can still buy a good house. Two bedrooms.
Zhao Wei grabbed his hand tightly, 200,000 yuan. If he had 200,000 yuan, would he be able to fulfill his dream of being a director before graduation?
Who knows, at this time, Ye Ming said very decisively: "No, I will not transfer the patent. The 20,000 yuan can only be used by our crew. This cannot be changed."
He Xiuqiong felt disappointed for a while. If he could get this patent in his hands, it would be like a chicken laying golden eggs. However, it is obvious that although Ye Ming looks young, he is definitely an expert in the industry. The way an old man thinks.
No one will let go of this chicken that lays golden eggs easily.
What a miss.
Unexpectedly, He Xiuqiong was unwilling to fail. He approached step by step and said, "Since you are unwilling to transfer the patent, I will pay 100,000 yuan so that Zhongjie Company will have the right to use the column rail car."
Ye Ming has to pay 20,000 yuan for each movie. In the future, Zhongjie Company will make movies and TV series. Since this thing will be used a lot, we can’t pay Ye Ming the royalties every time, right?
He Xiuqiong's abacus was crackling.
Ye Ming thought for a while and finally said: "Okay, no problem, but I have a condition. Zhongjie Company will help me apply for the patent rights of Baodao and Gangcheng as quickly as possible."
He Xiuqiong is definitely a career-oriented strong woman, and she will definitely not be sloppy. She nodded immediately and said: "We also have business in Hong Kong City, so I will let the lawyer contact you and help you handle it."
After signing the contract and giving the money, everything went smoothly, but He Xiuqiong was still afraid that Ye Ming would regret it.
If the patent could be shared, that would be the most perfect result, but Ye Ming would not be fooled, not even 200,000 yuan.
After doing this, He Xiuqiong said: "Director Sun, are there any problems now?
Sun Shupei hesitated and said, "The second problem is the issue of extras. Guo Li also mentioned this issue just now. The crew needs some experienced extras for this big scene, but we can't find them."
He Xiuqiong was stunned. She looked at Sun Shupei with disbelief and said, "Tell me again, what happened? I can't find the extras. Do you think it's my first time to shoot in the mainland? There are so many people in front of the film studio." You dare to say that you can’t find the extras. I don’t care, I must film this scene today. Auntie is already very dissatisfied with our progress. The weather is gradually getting colder. Now it’s not Take it quickly, some shots will be more difficult to shoot later.”
Then, He Xiuqiong left regardless. As for the matter of the mess left behind, it was naturally up to the director to resolve it.
If you can't find extras, that's because the director is incompetent, and the producers don't care about that.
Having just suffered a small loss from Ye Ming, He Xiuqiong was feeling unhappy at this time. Just in time, Sun Shupei forwarded it to the gun without any scruples. (To be continued)
