Chapter 1239

"Lao Luo, give me a number." Wang Yong has no bottom in his heart, so he can only ask Roland.

Roland thought: "the production cost of ice and snow is 150 million dollars. If we are going to make such a movie, this number is within the acceptable range for the current funding of our crew. "

Wang Yong shook his head: "Lao Luo, don't beat around the bush. You know what I'm going to do is not an animated movie. Just say the final answer

Roland said with a smile: "that is to say, our goal is the" Avatar "kind of live action special effects movie. The production cost of "Avatar" is 261 million, but that's the figure eight years ago. Now, it's 350 million. Of course, the actual production cost will certainly be different. I'm not very clear about the special effects. I can ask Xiao Li to come and ask. As a reminder, the production cost of 350 million US dollars can be one of the top ten cost movies in Hollywood. Boss, you have to think about it before you make a decision. "

Wang Yong didn't say a word. Indeed, he needs to think about it. Such a large investment has gone beyond Wang Yong's estimate.

If it's successful, it's a good thing to say that it can not only recover the cost, but also make a lot of money. But if it fails, it will not only bear the loss of money, but also the ridicule from all over the world.

"To me, boss?" There was a sound at the door. It was special effects engineer Xiao Li.

"CG did a good job. I want to ask you, if the whole movie needs to use special effects lens, and it is made at this level, how much will the special effects cost go up? " Wang Yong asked Xiao Li Dao.

Xiao Li thought for a moment and then replied, "maybe 80 million dollars."

"So much?" Wang Yong was surprised.

"This is a conservative estimate. Compared with my peers, my special effects production cost can be saved by about 20%. After all, CG special effects are recognized as the most expensive in the industry. CG's production price is calculated by frame by frame. The most expensive frame can reach hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is worse than burning money with fire. Blizzard originally made Panda Man. The hair on Panda Man's head was made one by one, totally 33000. It can be shown in the picture, which is just a distant shot. Can you make something like this expensive? " Xiao Li explained.

A look of surprise flashed across Wang Yong's face. It was really like a mountain. In the past, Wang Yong would never believe that a short CG would be so expensive.

"I see. You can do it." Wang Yong waved.

After Xiao Li leaves, Roland and Chen Kai look at Wang Yong and wait for Wang Yong's reply.

As directors, in fact, they both hope to get a sum of money to be used unscrupulously. No one will dislike the fact that his film crew has too much money. Only when the money is enough can he have the capital to keep improving.

After a while, Wang Yong breathed out a long breath: "350 million, that's the number! You can contact the publicity department to release the pilot film. In addition, the actors can also contact us and decide as soon as possible. As for me, the next task is to make money. "

Roland and and Chen Kai smile excitedly, and they come forward to hug Wang Yong.

"Wang, you are really a good boss!"

In the face of Roland's appreciation, Wang Yong can only smile bitterly. The boss who uses money to burn, can't it be good?

"Where can I get some more money? Wanda's plate is too big. There must be a lot of money to spend. It's unrealistic for them to add more money. Ziyu Fengqing can't be fooled. This woman is smarter than anyone else. What should I do when I compensate myself? But these two rich people can't find them. Who else can they find? " Wang Yong thought, a little sad.

Wang Yong really doesn't want to move chekia's money. The plan of Huaxia school has been officially launched. There are too many places to spend money, and every cent is precious. Wang Yong doesn't have the courage to gamble on a movie.

The best way is to find new investors.

Wang Yong's side is still struggling with funds, and Roland's side has completed the release of the pilot film.

The process of Hollywood has been extremely mature. It only takes a few calls, and the pilot film has appeared in cinemas, apps, video websites and other major channels.

Originally, the production line-up of Shanhaijing was strong enough, and with the title of Wang Yong, the pilot film immediately won the attention of countless people as soon as it went online.

People want to have a look. Wang Yong has been tossing about in Hollywood for so long that even the director's Union has turned him over. What kind of movie is it?

So one person after another opened the pilot film and played it.

In less than three minutes, the pilot film plays very fast. But more than ten minutes later, there was no comment at the bottom of the film.

This scene makes the publicists of Jianshi film feel uneasy.

Is it too bad? But no matter how bad it is, no one commented on it for so long?

Is there no one watching at all? There are more than 50000 people who have seen it.

What is the reason?

Just when the publicists of Jianshi film were worried, suddenly the comment area seemed to explode, and the comments crowded out on the screen.

"How awesome! I read it four times before I wrote the first comment! This pilot film can only be described as shocking! When the movie comes out, I will support it

"I've also seen it several times. The Oriental magic in the film makes me feel personally. It's like being in a colorful dream and forgetting to return. I have a hunch that this film will sell well

"Is this what Wang Yong said about Oriental magic? It's gorgeous! Compared with those western magic that only know how to add light effect, this kind of magic is much more beautiful. I think if this film can be completed at this level, I dare not say that it will kill Harry Potter 100% in seconds, but it is certain that a wave of Oriental magic will start. "

"Wang Yong has something. It's worth it. I always support him. Ha ha, I'm afraid the directors' Union are mad now? "

Word of mouth has exploded.

Both ordinary film audience and professional film critics have given this pilot film a very high evaluation.

Netizens from China, Japan, South Korea and other countries said that the film produced the essence of Oriental mythology. Even Indian netizens could only satirize Wang Yong sourly, and their money was burned in the three minute short film.

The western countries, Europe and the United States, praise the film even more. The film is full of people, magic weapons and monsters, giving them a sense of discovering a new world.

Only the group of Hollywood directors' Union, with gloomy faces, sat together, eager to punch through the computer screen in front of them.

"Unexpectedly, Wang Yong actually made a first-class pilot film. I would have congratulated other people for a long time, only he, I am not happy at all

"Don't worry. To be honest, Wang Yong did a good job in this short film. But according to this level of special effects, the funds he had prepared were not enough. It will be interesting if the capital chain breaks then! "

"Even if the funding chain doesn't break, they barely finished the whole movie. The gap between the leading film and the positive film is too big, which will only lead to the rebound of the audience. At that time, I'm afraid not only did Wang Yong lose all his money, but also he had to build up the reputation of Wang Yong. I'm really looking forward to that scene, ha ha! "

One by one, the directors of the trade union were making comments. But their envious eyes betrayed them. Wang Yong's short film was obviously beyond their expectation.

The only thing they can hope for is that Wang Yong's capital chain is insufficient. As long as there is a problem with the positive film, no matter how beautiful the pilot film is, it's useless. At that time, they were the last to laugh.

……………………

Wang Yong's mobile phone is about to explode.

Almost all the acquaintances called Wang Yong and said that they had seen the pilot film and it was great.

Wang Yong is a little suspicious that these people are idle. How can they see the pilot film as soon as it is released?

Look at a young lady who, as one of the investors, hasn't made a phone call until now!

That's their work attitude, OK? That's dedication, right?

Wang Yong was in a bad mood, but he was disappointed.

Why didn't Ziyu Fengqing call? Doesn't she care about the quality of the film at all?

Ding Lingling, Wang Yong's mobile phone rings again.

Wang Yong was pleased in his eyes and quickly got through. But a male voice from the opposite side made Wang Yong's mood fall back several grades in an instant.

"Mr. Wang, I'm wang Hualin. I just saw the pilot film, which was very shocking. It seems that I made the right choice. "

But Wang Hualin, the boss of Wanda.

"Thank you, Mr. Wang. We will continue to work hard." Wang Yong exchanged greetings with Wang Hualin and hung up the phone.

The mobile phone still has no breath screen, another call came in.

It's a strange number.

Wang Yong was puzzled to pick it up. Another male voice came from the opposite side.

Wang Yong sighs regretfully, but it's not Ziyu Fengqing.

But the next second, Wang Yong's mood suddenly became high.

"Miss Wang, I'm Zhong Nanqiao. I'm on a business trip in the United States. Would you like to meet me

It's Zhong Xin's father, Zhong Nanqiao!

Wang Yong forgot the rich boss! If we can "cheat" a sum of investment from Zhongnan bridge, it is estimated that the capital problem will be almost solved.

Wang Yong laughed brilliantly and immediately replied, "boss Zhong has come to the United States? Good, I'll treat you to dinner! "

"No dinner. I have a party in the evening. Just have a drink! I'll wait for you in the coffee shop diagonally opposite your company. " Zhong Nanqiao hung up.

Wang Yong did not expect that Zhong Nanqiao had already arrived in Hollywood. In line with the principle of treating big customers, he did not dare to delay for a moment and walked quickly to the coffee shop.

In the coffee shop, Zhong Nanqiao was sitting with a middle-aged woman with high cheekbones, talking in a low voice.

Seeing Wang Yong enter the door, Zhong Nanqiao stands up and gives a warm greeting.

And the middle-aged woman's eyes flashed a trace of contempt, buttocks even lift, motionless.
