You made me a superstar

Chapter 414
It rained heavily in the afternoon.

The heavy rain lasted for more than three hours, dispelling the summer heat and ushering in the coolness of autumn.

Sitting by the window of Huaxing's office, Zhou Yang overlooked the distance, felt the breeze blowing, and felt extremely comfortable physically and mentally.

Not far away, a few workers took advantage of the coolness and began to slowly hang several signs of "Polaroid Technology" on the top of the office building amidst Zhang Genshui's yelling downstairs.

"What kind of technology is everyone using now? I use a Polaroid phone as a signboard, which is not up to the mark. We have to keep pace with the times!"

hard to imagine.

The coal boss who used to be smoking a cigar in the mountains now has abandoned the big thick chain and started to wear glasses and a suit. " and other words, and often go to "President's advanced training class", "golf training hall", "horse farm" and other places to experience the style of successful people, like entrepreneurs who are "on the Forbes list" in the new era.

In the past two years, he has really changed too much, and perhaps the only thing that remains the same should be the superstitious sense that goes deep into his bones.

"Move it again!"

"Another position is the position of the compass..."

"Master, are you looking at this position?"

"..."

Holding the walkie-talkie, I waved at the workers above from time to time, and I could hear the voice from the walkie-talkie from a long distance away.

Under his command, the signboard of "Polaroid Technology" was hung up for more than two hours. The workers were tortured and miserable, but there was nothing they could do.

sunset.

Yanjing has always had a gray sky, but under this rain, it became exceptionally clear. Looking into the distance, the words "clear blue sky" came to Zhou Yang's mind.

Zhou Yang was fascinated, lowered his head, and began to think about the future of "Hua Xing".

A gust of wind blew up a series of documents and documents on Zhou Yang's desk.

The latest music newspaper blew into the air, and Zhou Yang inadvertently saw a title of the music newspaper...

[The last "return to the light" of the "Sunshine" physical album, the actual album has come to an end]

Zhou Yang did not pick up the blown-up newspapers on the ground as before, nor did he go to get that newspaper.

At this moment, he was deep in thought.

This world is slightly more technologically advanced than the original world.

It turns out that 3G has just been enlightened in the world at this time, and 3G has begun to be used in this world, and audio-visual mobile phones are becoming more and more popular, which seems to be a huge outlet.

Originally, at this time in the world, Weibo hadn't even started yet. Weibo in this world has gradually matured, and there are more and more people...

The online shopping industry is also becoming mature. Shopping websites such as Sobao and Shenmao Mall have divided up the majority of online shopping in China in the world. Every November, you will fight to the death.

……

After the vigorous development of the Internet, many old-age products have gradually begun to be eliminated, such as MP3, such as MP4, such as physical albums that are declining day by day.

Many things are like learning. If you sail against the current, you will retreat if you do not advance.

The same goes for this society.

Now Huaxing has reached this time, and the next step is particularly important.

"Infernal Affairs" beat "Superman 2" at the box office, which was entirely the result of Zhou Yang's impulsiveness.

After watching Hollywood movies raging in the Chinese movie world, and getting money like harvesting leeks, Zhou Yang's expression was calm, but he was unavoidably unhappy.

People are changing...

He is also changing.

When he was poor, what Zhou Yang thought about most was how to eat, how to live in a humble way without offending anyone.

After he was no longer poor and had a certain influence and energy in this circle, besides his horizons broadened, Zhou Yang's competitive heart began to gradually expand.

Under normal publicity, it is impossible for "Infernal Affairs" to win "Superman 2", which is the consensus of everyone.

Therefore, he who has always been very calm, inevitably became less calm at the box office of "Infernal Affairs" and carried some "charity" things.

Even if "Infernal Affairs" doesn't make much money at the box office, he still wants to win once, at least once in terms of total box office.

But after winning for several days in a row, Zhou Yang found that he was not as excited as he imagined...

do this...

After all, it is not a long-term solution.

If you really want to win Hollywood blockbusters, you can only win with Hollywood blockbusters.

Zhou Yang returned to his chair and opened the script of "Spider-Man" again. After reading the script for a long time, Zhou Yang began to think seriously.

The cost of shooting "Spider-Man" in the original world was very high, close to 3000 million US dollars.

This is also the reason why Zhou Yang didn't dare to shoot "Spider-Man" long after he wrote the script of "Spider-Man".

$3000 million...

It directly emptied Huaxing's family, and even had to borrow a large sum of money.

Although the water in the film industry is very deep, the 3000 million investment on the surface may be less after wringing out the water, but it is estimated to be around [-] million US dollars.

"Boom boom boom!"

Just as Zhou Yang was roughly estimating the budget for "Spider-Man", there was a knock on the door in the office.

Then a blond young man curiously walked over under the leadership of Xu Mei.

"Mr. Mark, hello."

"Hello, Mr. Zhou Yang..."

The leading young man wore glasses. He was very tall, about 1.9 meters, but very thin. Wearing a sweater, he didn't look like much flesh. Standing in front of Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang vaguely felt that he was like a skeleton.

When this person came over, he smiled brightly at Zhou Yang, and when he shook hands with Zhou Yang, he held tightly, and his eyes were full of enthusiasm and inexplicable ardor.

His name is Mark.

He is the head of China Department of Vitas Digital, one of the famous special effects companies in Hollywood.

Movies such as "Superman 2", "Sevier" and "New World" that caused a huge sensation in the world are all proud works of the company.

If "Spider-Man" wants to shoot well, the special effects are definitely the big head.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Zhou Yang and Mark started chatting about the film footage.

But Zhou Yang found that when Mark was talking about the movie shots, he seemed to be listening carefully, but his eyes were erratic, as if he was a little careless.

About half an hour later, when Zhou Yang finished his general request, the light in Mark's eyes became more and more intense, and he suddenly gave a thumbs up in admiration: "Mr. I get it, you are going to make an epic blockbuster comparable to "Superman 2", it's amazing, it's amazing! I'm very much looking forward to working with you!"

"Cough, cough, it's actually a problem with the special effects..." Zhou Yang heard Mark's admiration, and he didn't know if it was too exaggerated or because he felt very uncomfortable.

He always thinks this person is weird...

"As a professional special effects team, after hearing what you said about the general special effects of "Spider-Man", I think the special effects of "Spider-Man" must use the top-level production...it can't be worse than "Superman 2"..." Mark He chatted endlessly with Zhou Yang about a series of professional knowledge about special effects.

"Um……"

Zhou Yang was stunned when he heard it. He didn't know much about movie special effects, especially when Mark mentioned some high-level vocabulary, Zhou Yang felt as if he was listening to a bible.

He suddenly realized that he needed to find a knowledgeable person to talk to.

Mark rambled on from the frame analysis of the film to the production of film special effects, and recommended the latest special effects of Vitas Digital to Zhou Yang, and asked his assistant to take out a pair of VR glasses from the bag and hand them to Zhou Yang. Let Zhou Yang wear it.

"This is our special effects experience of "Jurassic". The experience you see now is exactly the same as the experience the audience saw in the screening hall... This is a new product, a technological product combined with virtual reality, Zhou Yang Sir, don't be afraid, it's not magic, it's not hypnotism..."

Seeing Zhou Yang put on the glasses, Mark showed a bit of complacency on his face, but then disappeared.

VR glasses are a rarity in this day and age...

After wearing this pair of glasses, many directors will be shocked by the special effects and thrills shown in the glasses, let alone Zhou Yang, a Chinese director who has never seen the world.

however……

"The special effects are really good..."

After wearing the VR glasses for a while, Zhou Yang took off the VR glasses again. There was no surprise on his face, he just said something and then nodded.

"Mr. Zhou Yang, the set you watched was "Jurassic", and there is another set of starry sky..."

"Mr. Mark, how much is the approximate budget for the special effects of "Spider-Man"? Or... you can go back and discuss with the team and give me a budget?" Zhou Yang shook his head and did not wear VR glasses anymore.

When Mark saw that Zhou Yang was calm, and he was not shocked by his VR technology like a country bumpkin, his eyes flashed a little surprised, but then he looked at Zhou Yang with a smile: "Mr. Zhou Yang, if you use the latest technology In fact, the special effects are not particularly expensive, roughly calculated... [-] million US dollars!"

"How many?"

"One hundred million dollars..."

After Mark repeated the numbers, he said some professional terms to Zhou Yang with a bright smile.

Say how many computers, how many workers, how many sets of renderings, how many man-hours and special effects parts are needed for a shot...

Zhou Yang listen...

But only the astonishing figure of [-] million US dollars remained in his mind.

After Mark finished speaking these terms, he began to praise Zhou Yang again, and called the movie "Spider-Man" a product of a cross-age era, a true sci-fi and fantasy blockbuster in China.

Zhou Yang was not lost by the flattery, but instead felt vaguely that this guy had slaughtered him like a pig.

"Mr. Mark, let me think about it again!"

"Okay, Mr. Zhou Yang."

Zhou Yang finally sent Mark away.

After Mark leaves...

One after another, several business leaders from Hollywood's special effects team came over.

Other people's quotations were even more outrageous than Mark's.

Some directly quoted [-] million US dollars, and some were even more exaggerated, even directly quoting [-] million US dollars, which is simply a sky-high asking price...

in the evening.

Zhou Yang called Li Qiang, the person in charge of the post-production team who had just finished work, and talked with Li Qiang about this matter, and asked Li Qiang to talk to these people specifically, because Li Qiang is more professional after all.

Li Qiang had a bright face at first, but after the chat and the constant bargaining, his face became extremely gloomy.

"This gang is damned, they are here to kill pigs!"

"They saw that we donated all the box office of "Infernal Affairs", and thought we were very rich, and they all came here to make money..."

"When I hung up the phone just now, I heard them scolding us as poor ghosts to the bone..."

"Huaxia's group of directors who advocate blockbuster movies and special effects have adopted them. Do we really think that Huaxia is still kneeling and licking their colony?"

"..."
