"This name sounds good."
"A big star joining in a fantasy masterpiece? I feel like you're going to take off, Old Chen!"
Everyone nodded, feeling pretty good.
Chen Kaige said proudly.
Yang Chen had a strange expression on his face, not knowing what to say.
Saying that your film will be a terrible one?
You will be criticized for several years?
Every year, someone would jump out and whip the corpse?
"However, there aren't many good films of this type in the past few years. Old Chen, don't fail miserably.”Old Moe kindly reminded him.
Old Moe had been scammed badly in the past few years, but he had also prepared a movie called " Golden Armor in the City " this year.
Wang Jing said in a non-standard Mandarin,"It's okay. It's just a commercial film. It's fine as long as you earn money!”
It had to be said that this was also Wang Jing's film philosophy.
Wang Jing was known as the king of lousy films, and he had filmed countless lousy films.
But he was a qualified commercial director.
No matter how bad Wang Jing's films were, they would not delay making money at all.
" It's true that the fantasy films in the past two years haven't been very good," Chen Kaige said." Special effects are a big problem."”
Xu Zheng continued," Indeed. The foreign special effects companies are too f * cking stupid. They're just trying to scam us Chinese." It was 15% more expensive than foreign movies. If our own special effects company isn't good enough and the production budget is limited, how can we make a special effects blockbuster?”
Everyone complained. They were in a difficult position.
China's special effects blockbusters had problems with their directors.
However, funding was also a big reason.
Everyone knew that special effects were expensive, but many people did not know that special effects were expensive in terms of manpower.
A mid-level special effects staff would earn about 500,000 a year, a high-level staff would earn 800,000, and a top-level staff would earn 2 million.
It was normal for a movie with special effects to have more than a thousand people.
The hardware cost accounted for 20% to 30%, the software cost accounted for 10% to 20%, and the labor cost accounted for more than 60%.
The foreign special effects company specially rented the obsolete software to China at a high price.
There was no need for that. His own software was not as good as others '. It was too expensive to use.
It was a high-density industry.
From modeling, materials, animation, lighting, and rendering, he synthesized special effects.
Matching, erasing wires, toning, composing, and Scenery.
Each link was further divided into several small projects, which were handled by the corresponding departments.
A server for creating special effects would cost at least 500,000 yuan.
Even a piece of top-tier hardware would need to run for 50 hours to render a frame of special effects.
A movie had at least 24 frames per second, and a 5-second special effects scene would take 250 days to render!
In order to reduce the rendering time and increase efficiency, the only way was to simply increase the number of hardware.
For example, some large special effects companies had built their own rendering farms with thousands of workstation and servers running day and night.
The cost of labor was the most expensive.
There were many special effects processes, complicated software adjustments, and time-consuming production. It would take thousands of people years to complete.
The production cycle for special effects was also very long.
The production cycle of a movie was as long as one to three years.
Therefore, if he wanted to shoot a special effects blockbuster, he had to start from the project to the completion of the special effects production.
It would take at least two years.
However, Yang Chen didn't have to worry about that.
The system had special effects software, which not only saved the cost of the software.
The effects and efficiency were way better than those of the major special effects companies.
Moreover, the production time was greatly reduced.
Of course, there were still people and machines that needed to be there.
If Yang Chen started his own special effects company, the cost would be much cheaper.
If he were to film his own movie, the investment would be even less.
His own company could be responsible for the overall framework, and the details could be handled by different film companies.
He could do the difficult parts himself and find a small company for the simple ones.
This way, the overall level of the special effects could be controlled.
It was a movie that would take two years to produce.
Yang Chen was confident that he could complete it within half a year.
Moreover, the quality and quantity were guaranteed.
Thinking of this, Yang Chen said,""Everyone is my brother. I want to start a special effects company. It's definitely too slow to start from scratch. I'm thinking of acquiring the existing domestic special effects company. Do you have any suggestions?”
Old Moe thought for a moment and said," It's not difficult to acquire them. There will definitely be more and more special effects in the future, and it's also a trend for directors to set up their own studios and special effects companies. There's no problem with the special effects company in China. It's just that we haven't mastered the core technology yet.”
Yang Chen did not reveal his special effects skills.
"Yes, here's what I think. I plan to set up a special effects company with 2000 people, and I want to ensure that the staff are all veterans in this industry.”
Everyone could tell that Yang Chen wanted to make a big special effects company.
Obviously, it was not just for his own movie. Otherwise, there was no need to acquire a team of 2000 people.
They didn't think that Yang Chen would be able to afford such a stupid question.
Although the final box office earnings of Charlotte's Troubles had yet to be released, there was no problem for it to exceed 2.3 billion.
The two movies brought in nearly 4 billion yuan in box office earnings.
The cost, tax, and the theater's share were all thrown aside.
He didn't dare to say much, but he had 1.3 to 400 million.
It was not difficult to acquire a few small special effects companies and then integrate them into a large special effects company.
