It's hard for Mr. Wang and I not to be shocked. I'm kidding. What they expected was the Wumao special effect! Fifty cents special effect!
Shout important things twice! Wumao special effects suddenly become comparable to avatar, or even better? Is this for a domestic series? You're kidding me.
Think about the total investment of this Hou Yi biography they expect? Although it is close to 100 million, the remuneration of all actors is close to 60%.
In the initial plan, the special effects cost of dozens of series is only a few million. Compared with Avatar level films, the proportion of special effects is hardly worth mentioning. Avatar's total investment is 1.2 billion, and special effects account for 800 million. What's the proportion?!
More importantly, how long does avatar last? Their series has a full 40 episodes. According to the calculation of more than 40 minutes of an episode, the total length is exaggerated and frightening compared with the film.
Such special effects are good and shocking, but President Wang feels that he is not confident enough to use them.
If this level of special effects were used in the whole play, would it still be affordable? Don't mention that tens of millions of total investment can't support it. Even if it turns ten times, it can't support nearly one billion wealth.
While shocked, President Wang was really embarrassed. It took dozens of seconds before he thumbed up and said, "Wei Shao, your special effects studio is big and global. You can pick up top blockbusters at home and abroad. Even international top directors such as Su Jian and Yang Yunfei can't pick up hair disease in front of your studio."
"However, we Hou Yi biography, can't afford it?"
In the last sentence, President Wang tactfully expressed his concern. Even after he connected with Wei Yanfeng, he has quietly raised the Wumao special effect to a higher level. For example, the total special effect cost is millions, which can rise to tens of millions.
However, a special effect of $10 million or $20 million? You want to use avatar level? That blockbuster was made after people spent more than 800 million yuan.
Even if the technology has become more advanced and developed in the past few years, the cost of special effects can be reduced slightly, but it is impossible to reduce from 800 million to 120 million.
Besides, you really have such a special effect level. Where do you need to rely on Wei Yanfeng's face to find business? As long as you release these tens of seconds of special effect videos, there will be companies in the circle to talk to you about cooperation.
At the thought of this, President Wang moved again and suddenly understood something. He had heard that Wei Yanfeng was a young man with a very strict style. He never fooled around with the help of his family background. He lost several times in doing business, but he never relied on human feelings to buy and sell.
He was curious before. Why did Wei Yanfeng, who never relied on relationships and human feelings to buy and sell, suddenly find him? Isn't this a special effects business that he wants to make President Wang sell face? Now look, it's really not!
The special effects studio opened by others really depends on their skills.
So awesome that the special effect of explosion was done in just a day or two? Let's say that the three legged golden black wants to do so vividly, but the modeling has been more than one or two days?
In just a few tens of seconds, all kinds of birds and animals flashed across the wasteland are different from the existing species on earth. Those models of birds and animals can't be completed in a day or two?
President Wang's mood fluctuated sharply, and Wei Yanfeng smiled. "Before we received the special effects of President Wang's play, the studio has actually prepared for a long time. Moreover, we have long focused on various myths and legends and special effects models in ancient times. In fact, we have already begun to build them."
"Including the models of the prosperous mainland, they are customized. Therefore, after receiving your play from President Wang, many things can be directly started. If you think that ordinary TV drama teams do not need such high standards, our studio can lower the grade."
"After all, the standards required for the comparison between TV screens and movie screens, especially 3D screens, are quite different. For such special effects, the standard will be reduced by one or two grades. If it is used for 40 episodes of series, the total capital will be 50 million. What does Mr. Wang think?"
"As long as you promise, we'll make it!"
Director Li was overjoyed. "Mr. Wang, this is a once-in-a-century good opportunity. It's 50 million absolute value. It's worth another grade or two!"
In any case, director Li is also a little famous director in the television circle. Even if the actors who play Hou Yi in the crew are second-line, they can also have little strength. Coupled with his training, the other party's acting skills are still online, which is worthy of recognition.
At least it should be qualified for small screens.
There are many supporting actors, including some old opera bones of the strength school.
Special effects and other aspects of shooting? Even if domestic TV dramas are used to Wumao special effect, they have been using various shooting methods, such as green screen technology.
Originally, director Li was just worried about the heroine. He thought that President Wang's sudden insertion of an 18 line might cause the crew to get confused. In fact, he found that the heroine could make do with it for a while. It's not qualified or excellent, but at least it can make do without burning your eyes.
In director Li's mind, Hou Yi's crew may only be an ordinary work in his directing career. It's not excellent, but it won't spoil his reputation.
Now see this level of special effects? Director Li had some explosions. He felt that he would lower it by one or two grades. When it was put on the TV screen, it was also at the level of an aircraft carrier. The exaggerated special effects and the improvised plot and acting skills are enough to make the play popular for a while.
At this moment, he very much hoped that director Wang would increase investment and take it down.
He even... Even has the idea of re casting and remake.
This level of special effects, only qualified and mediocre actors, qualified and mediocre acting skills? Must find a lot of their own old drama bones ah, just like the name of the people, how many flows? How many new generation flowers are there? But all kinds of acting skills such as No. 2, No. 3, supporting role dragon sets and so on are online, which is enough to make them popular.
Even if some of the No. 1 male starring skills are suppressed, the whole play will not collapse.
Urban dramas don't need exaggerated special effects, but if mythological dramas are combined with a group of old drama bones, the script will only be modified... No, even if they are interpreted in full accordance with mythological stories, don't let the screenwriter play any talent, and develop the story plot in full accordance with mythological legends. Such gorgeous special effects are combined with a group of strong old drama bones, Enough to make this biography of Hou Yi a miracle in the film and television industry.
President Wang, "..."
President Wang took a tangled look at director Li and said with a black face, "fifty million is really not expensive. This special effect is far more than the price of fifty million, but I think some women don't deserve this special effect?"
Mr. Wang is not stupid. He holds the 18 lines, but he really doesn't deserve this special effect. He won't add tens of millions of more and be destroyed by one of his own people, right?
Director Li was overjoyed. "Why don't we choose another corner and push everything back?"
Mr. Wang's snot bubbles are coming out.
