Stan Winston arrived a little earlier than Yin Jun expected.

I was originally going to come to Xiangjiang in early February, but this January 24th came.

After the car took them to the hotel, after a while of washing and resting, Yin Juncai went over to have an authentic Cantonese meal with them.

went over with Yin Jun, and naturally there was Luo Lixian, the special effects director of Qilin Culture.

Stan Winston brought a team of 17 people to add him, which is not to say that there are only so many people in the digital field, in fact, with the support of Yin Jun's large amount of money, they now have a special effects team of more than 60 people, plus logistics chores, etc., a total of 75 people, second only to ILM's more than 100 people, is the second largest special effects company in Hollywood.

The reason why there are only 17 is that Stan Winston considers the cost problem, bringing so many people over, the cost of business trips and so on is very high, it is better to bring the most elite people directly, and the rest of the miscellaneous helpers will be handed over to the Xiangjiang people, which is more cost-effective.

Of course, the more important reason is that now that the digital field has taken over the special effects work of Warner Bros., a large number of people need to be invested in that movie, and there is no effort to do things in Xiangjiang - doing a good job in Xiangjiang will not help much in Hollywood, and if you do a good job in Hollywood, then you will have a foothold.

Yin Jun raised his hands in favor of this.

The digital field will definitely be the most important special effects team for Yin Jun in the future, but Luo Lixian's local guns and earth cannons are also very necessary.

Although the United States is good, it is not grounded many times, which is why movies such as "The Great Wall" and "Jue Ji" obviously spent a lot of money to produce special effects, but in the end they were not satisfactory - can the special effects culture created by Americans express such a broad and profound connotation of China?

Luo Lixian: They not only have to seriously study the technology in the digital field, but also develop and research according to the actual situation of Xiangjiang Film and Huaguo Film.

The simplest one, for example, the ghost movies that Xiangjiang is about to start to flourish, Yin Jun hopes to have more sincerity, no longer be as rough as before, and don't look fake.

Originally, a good Xiangjiang ghost film that could operate for seven or eight years, and after a reincarnation, it could continue to shine, but it declined rapidly in the previous life, not only because of the saturation of the market, but also because it was not allowed to become fine after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and more importantly, their attitude was very poor.

Without a complete system, no matter what ghost movies you do, at most it can only be a hit, and there is no way to last long.

In his previous life, Luo Lixian had no one to teach him at all, and he relied on his own personal experience and design step by step, and finally he could make it look like that, but he was already the No. 1 special effects master in Xiangjiang.

If he is given a chance to learn from the top masters of Hollywood in this life, no matter what, he will have to improve a few notches, right?

After finishing "Speed of Life and Death", Luo Lixian and the elites of the entire team will take turns to go to the United States to learn all kinds of advanced knowledge, and then have the opportunity to practice.

Foreigners like to be direct, at least superficially.

Yin Jun had told Stan Winston about this in advance, and after hearing it, he didn't care at all, but was very interested in teaching Luo Lixian and them.

Stan Winston felt that he would definitely do special effects on a larger scale in the future, so he would definitely need a lot of manpower, and if Luo Lixian and they could become talents, wouldn't they be able to use them in the future? Even if they didn't become talented, what could they lose?

It's just that, except for the introduction and toast at the beginning, Luo Lixian is not qualified to talk to him, most of them are him chatting with Yin Jun.

"The production of "" is not very difficult, although the picture of the child riding a bicycle and carrying aliens on the moon is more complicated, but it is just a shot, and it took two months to complete. Stan Winston gestured, "In the future, we should still participate in movies like "Alien" with many special effects shots, so that we can exercise people more." ”

Yin Jun smiled bitterly, "Stan, you still say that this shot is not exquisite enough? This shot alone, in just ten seconds, cost more than 3 million US dollars! If you are asked to make a few more movies per movie, how high will the cost be?"

Stan Winston reacted at this time, and Yin Jun is also an investor in "".

He smiled, "You only know how to spend money now? Just this shot, our company has only earned more than 100,000 yuan, and more of it is in equipment and energy." Not only is not only the film company burning money, but also the various training and equipment purchases for our special effects production, etc., are also money-burning businesses. Otherwise, why don't you think those big studios will raise one of their own, and let us and ILM make this money?"

Stan Winston is telling the truth.

Hollywood's big conglomerates, how can they be fools?

Not to mention now, even after 30 years, how many of them have built their own special effects studios?

It's all outsourced!

The advantage of this is that I only need to be responsible for the special effects of this movie, and I don't have to keep such a large group of people at any time, and I don't have to add equipment anytime and anywhere, worrying about their jobs.

In fact, that's the smart thing to do.

Yin Jun knows that the elimination rate of this industry is ridiculously high.

Later, almost all special effects companies were established-brilliant-closed, and they generally closed down in ten years, and then new special effects companies appeared.

Even Stan Winston's digital company has been sold several times, and finally collapsed.

That is, Industrial Light & Magic is backed by Lucasfilm, has a strong reputation, and an episode of space opera every few years to support, otherwise they may collapse - of course, it was finally acquired by Disney, but it also brought a heavy burden to Disney.

But Yin Jun is not afraid of raising such a huge special effects company.

Because behind him is the entire Chinese market, and there are still so many classic movies to be made in his hands, he will definitely not let the digital field stop losing money.

"Your script and requirements, I've read it a few times. Stan Winston continued, "The special effects were good this time. It's just that to blow up a decent plane, to blow up a subway train and derail it, your investment is really a bit big!"

"Money is not an issue. Yin Jun muttered, "I have prepared a budget of 100 million Hong Kong dollars, that is, more than 20 million US dollars. If the VFX shot exceeds this budget, I'm responsible for filling it up. What you have to do is what we agreed at the beginning, do it well, do it well, do it well, do the best, and don't care about the rest!"

"Why else do I like a boss like you so much?" Stan Winston smiled and clinked glasses with Yin Jun, "Okay, even if you drink drinks, I don't care! You can rest assured, we are all our own people, you are still my boss, how can I cheat you? Not to mention that this time it is to make a model, Xiangjiang's labor and material costs are low, and it is estimated that it will not cost too much money." ”

Yin Jun smiled and didn't say anything.

He knows these tech nerds best, don't look at the good words now, when they want to do it, it doesn't matter anything else, they must be tossing and turning until they reach their goal.

But this is the most necessary step in making a movie.

You don't even have this sincerity, and you still want to make the audience like it all over the world?

Dream on!

The audience is not stupid, whether they do it with their hearts or not, they will directly use their wallets to express their opinions!

"This team I introduced you to. Yin Jun pointed at Luo Lixian and said, "They are the top special effects team in Xiangjiang today." Although they are not as good as you in terms of technology and systems, they dare to fight and design all kinds of things. Most of your work will be completed by them, you can't hide it, you have to help me build a team in Xiangjiang!"

Stan Winston shook his head again and again: "In such a short period of time, how can we teach well? As we said before, let them follow us to the United States to study and practice for a year and a half, so that they can have a basic." Don't underestimate our special effects industry, if you don't have ten or eight years of serious polishing, there is no way to produce a real talent! In the past year or so, I have dug up more than 30 talents, but they are all old people who have worked in other special effects companies for many years. ”

"What I'm saying is, in addition to letting them learn from the past, you also have to send people over often to teach new techniques and ideas. Yin Jun said, "I attach great importance to Xiangjiang, but you can't come here, so you can only work harder." ”

"Okay, as long as you pay extra overtime and travel expenses, and rotate one or two months of business trips every year, they are also very willing. Stan Winston didn't shirk this, but he was also not very optimistic about Luo Lixian and them.

In his opinion, lacking the overall atmosphere and industrial system of Hollywood, according to the model of Xiangjiang Films, I am afraid that this special effects department will easily be reduced to superficial efforts, and at most it can only be said to be a little better than other film companies.

What Yin Jun should really pay attention to is Hollywood, only Hollywood can train the best special effects company!

Luo Lixian is a native of Xiangjiang, and many of his friends who come into contact with playing with cars are foreigners, so they can naturally understand English.

He also saw Stan Winston's contempt.

But he didn't show it at all.

It's ruthless in the heart.

Wait and see!

Sooner or later, I'll let Hollywood know that they're not the only ones who do special effects!

We Xiangjiang people can do the same!!
