Chapter 1001: New World New Mission......
The two leaned on the head of the bed, and Zhou Xinyan asked, "What kind of movie do you want to make, the kind of return of the great sage, or the kind of Xiong Daxiong Er, how much are you going to invest." ”
"Have you seen the latest 'The Lion King'?" Jiang Hao asked.
"Nope."
Jiang Hao took his mobile phone and opened a video, which is the promotional trailer of the new version of The Lion King, the animals and scenes in it are extremely realistic, similar to real animals, Zhou Xinyan said after watching it: "This hasn't been released yet, right?" ”
"It hasn't been released yet, it seems to be a scheduled summer file." Jiang Hao said.
"The production is so realistic, full CG picture, high degree of restoration, you are going to shoot like this, how much does it cost?" Zhou Xinyan asked.
"The Lion King's live-action Disney released data that it has invested more than $200 million, and most of the money is spent on CG picture production." Jiang Hao said.
"Are you going to invest so much money in that "Beast Blood Boiling" too?" Zhou Xinyan stared at Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao smiled and shook his head, "I have my own CG picture production program, and I dare to say that the animation production level is only stronger than that of the United States, and it uses more artificial intelligence technology, so the cost can be less." ”
Zhou Xinyan's eyes lit up, "Husband, you have researched a new technology again, can this animation production technology work, just like the previous pet battle game?" ”
If it is another anti-sky software, then they Haoran Technology can take off again.
"The technology of this software is leading, but the market is not large, the pertinence is too strong, it is animation production, I am going to test the water with a movie first, the effect is good, maybe I will open a special effects company, add a force to China's 3D film production." Jiang Hao said.
A few days later, the company contacted the starting point to acquire the copyright of Beast Blood Boiling, and the two sides began to enter the negotiation stage.
Some of them are good to talk about, and the rest is about money.
After several rounds of negotiations, Haoran Technology bought several copyrights of "Beast Blood Boiling" in the hands of the starting point, spending 6 million yuan, and as for the game company, it cost more than 40 million yuan to package it, which is not good.
Haoran Technology also inexplicably has a money-losing game company under its name.
When signing the contract, Jiang Hao met the high-level of the starting point, as well as the original author of "Beast Blood Boiling", Jingguan, who was in his forties, slightly fat, and had a trace of restraint when the two sides shook hands and greeted each other.
"I was already in college when I first read this book, and it had been seven or eight years since I finished it, but it still made my blood boil when I read it, and when I think about it, it was my youth." Jiang Hao sighed.
"Mr. Jiang is also very young now." The old officer said with a smile.
"You also know that there are a lot of contents in this book that must be changed, otherwise it won't pass the review, and it's useless to make a movie, what I like is the world structure of this book, and it will be reprocessed after getting the copyright, I hope you don't mind." Jiang Hao said.
"I can understand, it's a second growth." Meditation.
A book is like the author's child, no matter whether it is beautiful or ugly, it is his own, and it is wantonly modified by others, and every author is actually not very happy, but it is two different art forms from movies, and it is impossible to completely copy it, and it is inevitable to modify and process.
"Question, is Mr. Ma interested in participating in the script writing?" Jiang Hao said suddenly, and extended an invitation to Jingguan.
Jingguan showed a look of surprise on his face, and agreed without too much hesitation, "Okay, if I can, I also hope that my child will grow up in my own hands." ”
It's not so easy to make a movie, Jiang Hao found Tencent Film and Television again, he is one of the major shareholders of Tencent Film and Television, naturally he is better at talking, after meeting Mr. Zhou, he said that he was ready to invest in a fantasy movie, Zhou Fangping was slightly surprised.
"Fantasy movies, similar to 'Life of Pi' and 'Fantasy Forest'?"
Jiang Hao shook his head, "It's similar to the pure fiction movie of the new Lion King." ”
Zhou Fangping was even more surprised, "I heard that Disney's new Lion King invested 200 million US dollars, which is a super production, is Mr. Jiang ready to make such a big investment when he plays a movie for the first time?" ”
"It shouldn't be $200 million, and I plan to invest about $80 million." Jiang Hao said.
80 million US dollars, according to the current exchange rate, it is 550 million, there are really not many domestic investments to make a movie, and the wandering earth does not seem to have reached this volume, Zhou Fangping said calmly, I know that you have money, but we can't waste money so much.
"I bought the full copyright of this story, and the next question is the production, is Tencent Film and Television interested in getting involved? Also, I want to use the production team on Tencent's side, and I am also ready to go through the distribution channels on Tencent's side. Jiang Hao asked.
Zhou Fangping blinked, this is a big deal, after all, it involves an investment of hundreds of millions, besides, he has no confidence in Jiang Hao's ability, the CEO of a technology company makes movies, this is the nature of pure play tickets, and the investment is so large.
"Mr. Jiang, we need to study the matter of investment, the production team and the distribution channel are no problem at all, you are also a shareholder of the company, when do you need to say it." Zhou Fangping said.
"There's no rush now, I haven't started preparations yet, the script is still being written." Jiang Hao said.
After Jiang Hao left, Zhou Fangping called the company's senior management to discuss and told Jiang Hao about it, if it was someone else, I'm afraid that the people here would have refused a long time ago, and they wanted to make a movie with a ticket of 550 million, which is either a fever or a fever of money.
"The danger is too great, our investment this year is only more than 400 million, involving a few movies and a few TV series, Mr. Jiang is going to make a film comparable to the new Lion King, I feel too risky, but people have money and can afford it." A vice president.
"I don't recommend investing either, I watched the promotional video of The Lion King, the technical level is the world's top, Disney spent 200 million US dollars, and Jiang used 80 million, I'm afraid that in the end it will be nondescript, and the possibility of failure is greater."
"I don't recommend either, it's okay to use the shooting team and distribution, forget about the investment, we have to be responsible for the head office."
mentioned the head office, thinking of the relationship between Jiang Hao and Mr. Ma, after the meeting ended, Zhou Fangping called Brother Xiao Ma and told him what happened here.
The other end of the phone was silent for a while, and said: "Follow up and invest a sum, just 20 million US dollars, if Jiang Hao needs it, send the best staff to cooperate." ”
Zhou Fangping didn't expect the big boss to make such a decision, "Mr. Ma, a few of us discussed, this investment is extremely dangerous, and the most likely thing is to lose all your money." Zhou Fangping persuaded.
"No, you don't understand Jiang Hao, although we haven't been in contact for a long time, but he is not a random character, he is very shrewd in business, he will not invest indiscriminately, he is not here to be a star, there must be something unique, to put it bluntly, I am investing in him."
"Also, he has 35% of the shares of Tencent Film and Television, and this investment is lost, and one-third of it is also his Jiang Hao." Little Pony Road.
Jiang Hao received a call from Zhou Fangping, "Mr. Jiang, we have decided to invest 20 million US dollars in your film, accounting for a quarter of the total investment, as for the resource issue, Tencent Film and Television will fully support it." ”
After listening to the other party's words, Jiang Hao smiled slightly, "Mr. Zhou didn't call Mr. Ma. ”
"Oh~~! Hehe, such a big matter, and it involves Mr. Jiang, so I made a phone call to Mr. Ma to report. Zhou Fangping said.
Jiang Hao guessed that it was Brother Xiao Ma who asked them to do this, and it was unlikely that they would invest, because they were not optimistic about him at all, but now it was okay, they got 20 million US dollars, and they also pulled Tencent Film and Television into the car.
The script is being recreated, the crew is beginning to be formed, and now it is only in the stage of selecting people, shooting a movie is a big project, Jiang Hao is also busy, and he began to create character images.
It's textual, how the actor writes about how handsome and handsome, how suave, but in the movie, there must be a specific image, what image is most in line with aesthetics, this is a very challenging thing.
The protagonist Liu Zhenzhen, originally a tall soldier, to be mighty and domineering and handsome and smart, such a character is not easy to find, Jiang Hao came to the bathroom, washed his face, and looked up in the mirror, hey, isn't this the protagonist I am looking for, so mighty and domineering and handsome and smart, who is this, oh, it turned out to be me.
Jiang Hao immediately decided to use his own image as the actor Liu Zhenzhen.
This time, Jiang Hao seems to have opened his mind, in this case, the heroine there can also borrow the image of her own women from other worlds, of course, she will be artistically processed again, and she can't let people see her true face.
Helen, Gotani, Ningyu, Sissi, Golini, Tanya, Joan of Arc, Cui Beixi, Vivien Leigh, Avril Lavigne...
One by one, the female characters were made, and each one was heartwarming to watch.
Then Jiang Hao made a promotional video of about 50 seconds, but it was this 50-second film, and several servers of Haoran Technology also ran for several days to complete the production, Jiang Hao sighed, CG production is really a burning machine, otherwise those Hollywood films are now produced with supercomputing.
Waiting for the film and television production on my side to be a little eyebrows, it is estimated that the new company has also been built, and the wave is building a supercomputer for itself, and the company is just entering the market after making a supercomputer, and then I will use the supercomputer to make this film, everything is just right.
As for whether this film will lose money when it is made, Jiang Hao feels that it should not be lost, now that the Chinese film market is so big, as long as the effect meets his expectations, it is not a big problem to earn back hundreds of millions of investments, and there are still very few such real 3D picture films.
When the time comes, go to Europe and the United States to make a circle of money, they always export us, let's also have a counter-import, this side is called English name, then we will all call Chinese names, so that Europeans and Americans also begin to contact Chinese.
Besides, Jiang Hao said that he would invest 80 million US dollars, but it is estimated that it will not be used so much, his previous budget was 60 million US dollars, and he used his own supercomputer to do CG animation, which is charged, all of which are calculated, 40 million stopped, and Tencent Pictures invested 20 million, hehe, in fact, he only needs to take out 20 million.
After the promotional film was made, Jiang Hao called the people of Tencent Film and Television to come and watch the film, just for a 50-second picture, several CEOs of Tencent Film and Television came, and they were in the conference room of Haoran Technology, which was turned into a temporary screening hall.
When the first picture flashed out, everyone couldn't help but feel a burst of heart, so delicate and realistic, the ocean, birds, islands, trees, coconut groves blown by the sea breeze, the camera passed quickly, people could see that it was CG animation, but it was not much different from the real scenery, and the effect was even more shocking.
The protagonist Liu Zhen appeared, everyone was slightly stunned, Zhou Xinyan glanced at Jiang Hao a few times, Jiang Hao was unmoved, his eyes looked at the picture intently.
Then countless shots flashed, many women appeared, each Tianxiang country has its own merits, there are eastern faces and western faces, the swan clan has white wings growing behind it, like angels, Zhou Xinyan looked at Jiang Hao with some surprise, Jiang Hao turned his head this time and winked at her.
Because Zhou Xinyan found that the appearance of this swan tribe was a little similar to her, and she was more beautiful, the biggest difference was that the swan beauty had long blond hair.
Zhou Xinyan suddenly remembered the scene when Jiang Hao asked her to carry her wings and wear a golden wig a few days ago, and immediately knew that this man was really bad, so she poked him up again, turned her head and continued to watch the film.
The beauty is followed by an alien image, with obvious animal signs, but all of them are humanoid, and at the end of the propaganda film, there is a picture of two armies facing each other, with thousands of orc soldiers of different shapes on both sides confronting each other, and then letting out a roar, rushing towards each other together, seeing that a war is about to break out.
And then
The picture ends.
Everyone has a feeling that they are still unsatisfied, a short 50-second promotional video evokes the nature of everyone, Zhou Fangping looked at Jiang Hao, "Mr. Jiang, you made this picture?" ”
"Yes, with my own self-developed 3D engine animation production technology, it is similar to the game screen of Pet Wars, only more realistic and more vivid, the character movements are intelligently extracted, and you can even abandon the live-action green cloth shooting stereotype." Jiang Hao said.
Tencent Film and Television These people are half professionals, naturally know how difficult this technology is, Zhou Fangping suddenly raised a trace of confidence and expectation for this investment, he had always thought that it was a waste, but now he found that he might dig a gold mine.
"Mr. Jiang, I dare to say that this promotional film does not lose to the new Lion King at all, if the whole film has this effect, I feel that the domestic box office will explode." Zhou Fangping's confidence suddenly increased, and he said with a smile on his face.
"A 3D version will be made in the later stage, and when you look at it with 3D effects, it will be even more shocking." Jiang Hao said.
Zhou Fangping was even happier, and hurriedly said: "I'm looking forward to it, I'm looking forward to it, I hope that China's first 3D immersive movie will be born in Tencent Film and Television." ”
"It's okay to ensure this kind of quality, but if you work slowly, I'm afraid the whole production will take about a year or two." Jiang Hao said.
"It's not long, it's not long, for such a realistic film, the production cycle of 2 years is not long." Zhou Fangping said immediately.
A promotional video made Tencent Film and Television more confident, everyone was happy, and sent away the people of Tencent Film and Television, Jiang Hao was about to plan the production of the film, and at this moment, a system prompt sound suddenly sounded in his mind.
"Ding~~ The system releases a new task!"
