Chapter 235 What special effects team?

"Brother Jiang? Why are you here?"

Mu Yunxi turned around happily and hugged his neck, "I missed you so much. I thought you were too busy to come and see me today."

"Why didn't I come to see you?"

Chu Jiang handed her the gift bag in his hand, "Not only did I come to see you, but I also brought you a gift. See if you like it."

"Wow, what a beautiful necklace... Of course I like such a beautiful necklace."

She carefully put the necklace away, looked at Chu Jiang, and then looked at the script in her hand, "Brother Jiang, I still have a lot of lines to memorize today, and I may not be able to accompany you..."

"I know, you are busy."

Chu Jiang nodded, and then whispered in her ear, "After we leave today, I will send you to my villa. Do you know where it is?"

Mu Yunxi's eyes lit up, "I know, I know."

After seeing Mu Yunxi, Chu Jiang left and went directly to the lounge of the base to wait for Shen Xingwei's interview to end.

…

Shen Xingwei finally finished the interview. She smiled so hard that her face was stiff. She couldn't help rubbing the muscles on her face.

This is a person in charge under her. He came over and said, "Sister Wei, there is a special effects team outside who wants to see you. Look..."

"What special effects team?"

"The top special effects team in the United States, DS, haven't they been on strike recently? Because the previous treatment was too bad, but the strike has been going on for several months and the people above don't indulge them. I don't know how they know about our place, so they came to us. Do you want to meet them?"

"We have four large studios here. Although we have recruited some special effects artists, we are still short of talents in this area. Then I will meet them."

Shen Xingwei thought for a while and nodded.

Now that Shoucheng Film and Television Base has just started, it is a time when talents are needed. If the other party is indeed a talent, the treatment is not impossible to negotiate.

After all, Shen Xingwei can see that Chu Jiang did not build Shoucheng Film and Television Base on a whim.

He spent a lot of money to invest, one reason is to break the situation of the four major film and television companies besieging him.

Secondly, it is also for the development of domestic film and television.

The special effects in China are very weak now. The special effects of movies are still acceptable, but the special effects of TV dramas can only be described as horrible. Ninety-nine percent of the dramas are all some five-cent special effects.

If the base has its own special effects team, it will be better.

This is also for future development considerations.

When Shen Xingwei went out, she saw Chu Jiang there and talked to Chu Jiang about the special effects team.

Chu Jiang and Shen Xingwei had the same opinion.

Soon, the special effects team was brought over.

There were only three people on the other side. Looking at their different skin and hair colors, they should be from different countries.

"This is our Mr. Chu and Mr. Shen."

The other party was humble and greeted in poor spoken language, "Hello, Mr. Chu, Hello, Mr. Shen."

After saying that, he stood there a little awkwardly and rubbed his hands.

Seeing that they were not good at communicating, Chu Jiang smiled and said, "Please sit down. We are just chatting casually. Don't be too nervous."

"Mr. Chu, hello..."

The three looked at each other and said, "This is our resume. We are a very professional special effects team. We have been in various top special effects companies before. However, those special effects companies are now closed, but the works we have participated in are all there. I believe you should have heard of them."

Chu Jiang opened the resume and took a look.

I have to say that these resumes are really awesome.

One special effects artist had participated in the production of the Lord of the Rings, one participated in the special effects production of Life of Pi, and another was a frequent visitor of Marvel special effects. If you just look at the resumes, these special effects artists are already top special effects artists in the industry.

However, Chu Jiang didn't know much about the special effects industry, so he didn't know many things.

It stands to reason that such a top special effects artist shouldn't need to come to him to make a living, right?

Those big companies should be scrambling for it!

After reading the resume, he asked curiously, "Are you so dissatisfied with the treatment of your previous company? Talents like you should be the treasures of the company!"

Several special effects looked at each other, and one of them spoke haltingly.

Chu Jiang saw that he was struggling to speak Chinese, so he asked him to speak English directly.

Although they are a top special effects team, they are only technical, and taking projects is the company's business, because the company is very keen to compete for the projects of the six major film companies, resulting in very low profits for the special effects team company, and those film companies have become the powerful party A.

Some special effects companies are even forced to leave the United States and set up branches in other countries with lower costs, just to save a little tax for the company or get some policy subsidies.

The money they get is all fixed, but nowadays, film directors have more and more ideas, and they often make multiple changes in one shot. Film companies charge for the entire project. Those directors put forward various requirements, and they have to work hard day and night to realize them. It is very likely that the picture effect produced after staying up all night for seven or eight nights will not satisfy the director, or the director suddenly has a better idea, and will suddenly overturn all the previous efforts.

Not to mention that their seven or eight nights of hard work have gone to waste, the main thing is that there is no compensation.

That's fine, because their work must follow the project, so when the project goes to other countries, they can only be bound by the contract to go to other countries, always without a fixed place to live, stay in one place for half a year and stay in another place for a year, and the money they earn is only enough to ensure food and clothing, and they can't achieve the goal of personal economic freedom at all.

So in the past two years, they have established a special effects alliance with 50 top special effects artists in the industry. This special effects alliance is to strive for better employment and rights protection for practitioners, at least to give them a place to speak.

However, although this special effects alliance made a splash, it still did not achieve the expected results.

So this year, they not only organized strike actions to fight for their own rights, but also actively sought other ways out.

One special effects worker saw on the Internet that the Shoucheng Film and Television Base was being built, so he came all the way here to try his luck.

What if he could meet a generous company?
