Chapter 252 Too insidious and cunning (3/4)

In fact, the Phoenix film and television special effects software system written by Ye Zishu does not use a particularly intelligent system, but the time is relatively tight, and the hardware support is not strong enough, so it can only be said that it has reached the threshold in his heart.

After the GPU chip of Qinglong Technology Company comes out, the super graphics computer will be reassembled. After having enough computing power, he will upgrade the existing Phoenix film and television special effects software.

At that time, the degree of intelligence will be higher, and the efficiency will be at least 10 times faster than the current film and television special effects software system, and the degree of delicacy of special effects production will also be greatly improved.

After the upgrade, the special effects production capabilities of Phoenix Special Effects Company can really beat the special effects production companies all over the world. This is definitely not an exaggeration.

Although compared with traditional special effects technology, it can greatly improve efficiency and reduce costs, and at the same time can do some things that traditional special effects cannot do, but it is not too outrageous.

Other special effects companies are really willing to spend time and energy, and they can still achieve the same level of special effects as those produced by Phoenix Special Effects, but the cost is much higher.

"Did Leonardo mention the unconditional cooperation agreement he signed with us?" Ye Zishu asked with a smile.

This can be regarded as Leaf Book cheating Leonardo. He thought it was possible to get 10 million US dollars in compensation before, and he must have earned it. Now he probably regrets it.

Hearing Ye Zishu's words, Zhang Guoli also laughed, and then said: "He and Winslet talked about this when they were interviewed by the media, and they think you are the most profitable businessman.

However, the complaints were all made in a joking manner. After all, this "Titanic" completely made them transparent in the entertainment industry, and promoted them to the status of superstars in one fell swoop.

Even if they can't make money because of the cooperation with us because of the agreement, they will still make money because of the popularity of this movie and take other movies to make money, and they will definitely not suffer. "

This view is true for other people, they don't know the specific situation, only Ye Zishu himself knows, he is a premeditated scammer.

"So, if you are not absolutely sure, it is better not to bet against others!" Ye Zishu said.

These words are actually meant for Zhang Guoli, the situation of betting against each other in the film and television industry will still happen in the future, if there is no absolute certainty, this kind of betting against each other should be avoided as much as possible.

Although gambling may result in windfalls, the company's operation requires stability, and the bigger the company, the more it needs to be like this, and he doesn't want his company to be gambling.

"By the way, March this year is the Oscars season. Universal asked us if we want to run the Oscars. With the popularity of "Titanic" and the quality of the film, it definitely has the strength to hit multiple awards." Zhang Guoli asked.

In fact, "The Lion King" also has the ability to hit the Oscars, but Ye Zishu is not willing to spend money to lobby at all, and the same is true for several animated films last year.

For others, winning an Oscar is a supreme honor, and his position in the entertainment industry will be much more stable, and his net worth will double, but to him, it doesn't matter.

He is the director of these animated films, including the live-action film "Titanic". If it works, he is definitely likely to win the best director award.

But he has no pursuit of this, because after all, filming is for making money, not for fame. Instead, he feels that it is a bit unworthy to spend money on this place.

Therefore, the animated film "The Lion King" did not even receive a single award from the Oscars. At least in the previous life, it gave it two awards for best original song and best soundtrack.

At first, he thought that as the distributor of "The Lion King" in North America, Disney would spend its own money to operate it in order to make the movie look better, but it turned out that it didn't.

That's why "The Lion King" exploded at the box office, but it didn't receive any Oscar awards. As for other award ceremonies, all those that cost money didn't win awards.

Regarding the encounter with "The Lion King", the outside world can also say that it is because of the animated film. After all, in the field of film and television, animated films are at a disadvantage if they want to compete with live-action films in awards.

But if "Titanic" is still fruitless this time, it will not make sense. It will definitely explode in terms of box office, and there will be some art in it. This is not a popcorn blockbuster.

"Is Universal paying for this money?" Ye Zishu asked.

"Boss Ye, you're thinking too much. How could they pay the money? We must pay the money." Zhang Guoli laughed when he heard Ye Shu's words.

He found Ye Zishu a bit cute at this time, and at the same time felt that Ye Zishu's character was a bit stubborn in some places, not because he was stingy, but in many places, he was still very generous.

"If they don't pay, let's forget about it!" Ye Zishu waved his hand and said.

"Why, if it wins an Oscar, it will be of great benefit to the film's box office, and it will be able to maintain the box office popularity in the future. We can't make life difficult with money." Zhang Guoli said anxiously.

"I know, but we have to understand this issue from a higher level, not from the current level." Ye Shu said.

This made Zhang Guoli a little confused, he shook his head and said, "I don't understand."

"Let me ask you, why are Western countries so keen on various awards?" Ye Shu asked.

"Of course it's profitable, and it's also regulating the industry." Zhang Guoli replied immediately.

"Although you are right, no one will do unprofitable things, and the industry can be properly guided through awards.

But it is not deep enough. This is actually the control of the right to speak and the right to formulate standards. Only things that are recognized by awards can be generally recognized.

This is very beneficial to related industries in their own country. Take the Oscars as an example. They must have special consideration for films from their own country. Films from other countries will also take into account off-site factors such as political factors.

This will continue to release an impression that their films must be very good, and in fact the same is true of other film awards.

The control of the right to speak is extremely important no matter what industry you are in. This is true in the field of culture, economics, and science and technology. "Leaf Book said.

"It is indeed as Mr. Ye said, but we don't have the strength to get the right to speak, so we can only accept it passively." Zhang Guoli said.

"This is the way of thinking of ordinary people, because they only see the immediate benefits, but they cannot think about problems from a higher level." Ye Shu said.

Seeing Zhang Guoli's confused eyes, Ye Zishu continued: "The authority of the award requires the constant support of good works, and on the other hand, without the support of good works, the authority of the award will be challenged.

Although we have only shot five films so far, four of which are still animated films, each film can be regarded as a boutique.

Even if you don't mention animated movies, after all, this category is naturally subject to certain discrimination. Let's talk about live-action movies. Is "Titanic" a masterpiece? "

"That's for sure!" Zhang Guoli said.

"That's right, we don't need to spend money to operate it at all, and if the Oscar people have a sense of crisis, they will definitely give "Titanic" some awards.

If they don't have this awareness and feel that they can conquer the world with the authority of the awards, that would be even better, because the eyes of the masses are sharp.

If even the movie "Titanic" fails, the consequence will be that the authority of the Oscars will be questioned, and what I want is this kind of questioning.

Maybe one movie is not enough to destroy the authority of the Oscars, but every year we will come up with high-quality movies, if they still don't give them the awards they deserve.

Then this kind of authority will continue to be questioned, and eventually it will completely destroy the authority established by Oscar for decades.

So not only will I not spend money to participate in the Oscars, but I hope that they will hold their heads high and be confident in their own authority. "Leaf Book said.

After listening to Ye Zishu's words, Zhang Guoli couldn't help but said in his heart: "I didn't expect Mr. Ye to be so insidious!"

Ye Zishu seemed to see through his inner thoughts, and said with a smile: "As an ordinary person, this can be said to be insidious and cunning, but as a person in power, you must not be stupid and sweet, it is irresponsible to the company's employees.

More importantly, if the politicians have no strategy, not only themselves, but also the people under their rule will suffer.

Strictly speaking, this is not cunning, but long-term planning, "Those who do not plan for the overall situation are not enough to find a corner, and those who do not plan for the general trend are not enough to plan for a moment." "
