The entire Galaxy Film Production Company is starting to get busy. They only know that their company is about to invest over 100 million yuan to shoot the novel that Lin Han is serializing. This big investment is a great challenge for the newly established film company.

Many similar companies slowly make money by using small and medium-sized movies, and then gradually start shooting large-cost movies. How can they be brave enough to do this like Lin Han?

The first movie invested 100,000 yuan, and the second movie directly increased by 100 million yuan. Even the internal employees of Galaxy Film Production Company found it incredible.

In the tea room, a few whispers started to sound.

"Zhouzhou, do you think we need to consider finding a new job now? I feel that the boss is a little crazy, and the president and the others are also crazy with each other."

Chen Jiaxuan's old employees in the publicity department began to think about it. If this movie fails, the entire company will probably go bankrupt and they don't want to go bankrupt with the company.

He Yan, with short hair, held a coffee cup. She sighed and said, "Now, domestic movies cost hundreds of millions of yuan, and most of them are at a loss. I think our "The Matrix" is also over, but Lin Han earns hundreds of millions a year and should not let the company go bankrupt. Don't worry."

Jiang Jingzhou took a sip of coffee and said in agreement: "Anyway, the upper class cannot be affected. If the company goes bankrupt, we will be the only one who is unlucky. I'd better make a resume again and be prepared for any trouble."

"Teacher Lin and the others are too willful. I hope they can succeed. Otherwise, where can I find a company with such good treatment?"

Most domestic blockbusters are costume wars or costume myths, but the cost of blockbusters in recent years has been more than 100 million, of which the actors and directors pay more than half. What money can be used for special effects?

Since the release of the shooting plan for "The Matrix", the entire Galaxy Film Production Company has become more and more popular. Even if it doesn't even look down on itself, do you still expect others to be optimistic about yourself?

...

However, Lin Han was not in China at this time. While the movie was still under preparation, he brought Xie Xin and Yan Hong to London to visit the mp cutting-edge visual effects company headquartered in London, England.

The full name of mp company is the movingpiturepany, which is a moving image company. After 25 years of experience, the total number of people in various branches around the world has grown to more than 2,300. This number of people is already quite large. There are ten branches around the world, which can be called a world-class G-tech enterprise in the aircraft carrier-level.

They started out as advertising, and now most of their business has been transferred to movies. The movies they participated in have been nominated for the Oscars for Best Visual Effects many times and have performed very well at the box office!

The reason why Lin Han is willing to choose this company is that they charge low fees, but the visual effect is very good. The realistic Mars scenes in "Marls Rescue", the space shuttle launch lenses, the probe shuttle shuttles on the surface of Mars and the protagonist walking in the storm are all classic pictures.

Now that the filming of "The Matrix" has not started, Lin Han hopes that mp will participate in the pre-production stage, so that he can save energy and time in post-production!

"Hello, Mr. Lin."

In the mp headquarters, Richard Steamer shook Lin Han very enthusiastically. He didn't look like a reserved and arrogant British at all. Perhaps the survival pressure in the industry is too great, even a large company like mp has to find ways to increase its performance.

Lin Han stretched out his hand and said, "I'm very happy to see you. I've heard of your company's name for a long time."

Richard seemed very familiar with his potential client, shrugged and said, "It's my honor. In fact, all your novels have been read, and I even thought about what would be the special effects of those novels you wrote."

Xie Xin pursed her lips and smiled secretly from behind. Unexpectedly, Lin Han actually got a fan here. I wonder if this is modesty or fact.

"In fact, I've seen the effects of movies you've done before. This time I'm mainly discussing the visual effects of the movie."

What Lin Han values ​​most is the bullet time of "The Matrix". This is already a living signboard of the Matrix. As long as the movie is mentioned, it is inseparable from this special effects shot!

Even in the history of film, a term was made specifically for bullet time. This special effect became the most imitated screen stunt. Many movies, TVs, and advertisements imitate it. The more famous ones are "Charlie's Angel", "Monster Shrek", "Horror Movie", and "Operation Swordfish".

Richard has always been very confident in the visual effects of his company. He patted his chest and said, "We can do everything you can think of. Even if you don't think of it, we can do it!"

Lin Han knew clearly that it is the 21st century now, not the end of the 20th century on Earth, and the visual effects have made great progress.

He knew how to shoot bullet time, but he couldn't expect the whole movie to conquer the world with just one special effects shot, and there were other places that needed them.

"I plan to take a lot of super slow motion pictures when shooting action scenes, and I hope to have enough advanced visual images in the middle of the film, such as the green digital rain in the matrix world, and the human petri dish. Don't repeat mechanical octopus, spaceships, and the doomsday wasteland city that are repeated with other movies. These are all easier to do, and we will tell you the details after we sign the contract."

In fact, according to the current perspective, the old computers and brick-like Nokia phones in "The Matrix" can't keep up with the trend, and the various machines in the spacecraft have a long history. He wants to update them so that those pictures look more sci-fi, rather than nostalgic.

Richard smiled, "Those are easy to do. I wonder what your post-production budget is for this movie?"

"I'm shooting three movies at the same time and then released them in installments. The first movie has fewer special effects shots, and it is expected to be about 500, so we're budgeting of $15 million!" Lin Han added, "If the visual effect of the first movie is not bad, the second and third movies will double, so everything will be watched first."

The exchange of 15 million US dollars into RMB is already 100 million. This is the limit that Lin Han can take out, and he overdraws the advertisement in advance, and it is not in his hands at all!

Now Lin Han’s 100 million yuan is used for shooting, which means that the average shooting cost of the three movies is about 30 million, which does not calculate the post-production cost.

In addition to special effects, Lin Han also needs to do sound effects, soundtracks, etc., which also costs money and he is not allowed to be stingy!

Lin Han didn't mind spending money, but the money had to be spent on the blade. Before he was reborn, he had seen "Mechanical Girl" with a $15 million special effect, which exploded "Mad Max" and "Star Wars" at the Oscars' Best Visual Effects Award.

You know, Star Wars spent nearly 200 million on visual effects, and the spacecraft effects in it cost more than $15 million.

Richard was a little disappointed. He originally thought he had received a big order, but he didn't expect it to be only 15 million US dollars, but this cannot be missed. After all, the effect mentioned by Lin Han is not difficult for them!

You get what you pay for. Fortunately, Lin Han asked for not many 500 shots, otherwise he would have refused.

Many domestic blockbusters claim to be looking for top Hollywood special effects teams, but the visual effects are only 50 cents, because they give too little money, which is only enough for these Hollywood teams to outsource the movie to Asian special effects studios!

The pure special effects cost of a top-level production will not be less than US$50 million in the entry level alone, which can be converted into RMB for about 300 million.

The visual effects of Chinese films have always been a pain in my heart. First of all, the development of visual technology in our country is indeed more than one generation behind Hollywood. In addition, it is because it is reluctant to spend money. The last reason is that the director or the special effects manager does not understand technology.

The director doesn't know what technology can be realized, he doesn't know how much it can be realized, and he doesn't know what the effect is. The most important thing is how to solve it if it cannot be realized.

The most important business directors in Hollywood understand technology, and they are the most skilled people. As a result, all the pictures can be realized through imagination, and they can also clearly express the effects they need with special effects personnel.

This is the biggest obstacle facing Chinese films. The director has no concept of special effects, and even relies entirely on special effects personnel to complete it. This is a wrong concept. When you really work with special effects personnel, you can realize that special effects personnel are very helpless most of the time.

Because everyone's imagination is completely different and the pictures presented are very different, the special effects personnel need the director to give a clear, definite, and only solution!

Fortunately, Lin Han is very clear about what visual effects he wants. He doesn't care about those fancy ones, but only cares about what he needs.

The film business is not easy to develop now, and many special effects companies have gone bankrupt. Even though Lin Han's film only has a budget of $15 million, mp still sent a team led by visual effects director Anderson Langland and Tim Leibry to take charge.

After all, Lin Han has more than one movie called "The Matrix", which is a long-term business.

...

After signing the contract, Lin Han embarked on the road to return to China, but he did not go to Yanjing, but came to Xiang and Hong Kong.

But when he left the Hong Kong International Airport, he found that many reporters started interviewing themselves in half-baked Mandarin, and many even spoke Cantonese directly!

This is one of the birthplaces of paparazzi culture. The paparazzi here is notorious and ubiquitous, allowing celebrities from all walks of life to love and hate, and also allowing fans and readers to spy on the private lives of celebrities.

It’s a pity that celebrities don’t have privacy, but at the same time they can’t live without paparazzi. Being secretly photographed means a high level of publicity.

A busy city needs to attract attention, and provide psychological massage for tickling people. Every major event in the entertainment industry will cause a carnival for the whole nation, such as XX, cheating, XX, cheating, XX, and breaking up and getting married.

Lin Han looked puzzled at the moment. How could he be so popular in Hong Kong? He is not an international superstar. He just wanted to find a few martial arts coaches. But he never thought that he could actually make so many paparazzi watch.

Nearly forty entertainment reporters rushed forward, and the camera was aimed at Lin Han and took photos wildly, and the spotlight flashed constantly!

"Lin Xiansen, is you going to Hong Kong this time to find an actor for your new movie?"

"I wonder which actor can join the Matrix?"

"Can you talk about which actor you admire the most?"

"It is said that your new movie has invested more than 100 million yuan. Has the cast been confirmed?"

It was very difficult to listen to these reporters. Lin Han listened for a while before he realized that it turned out that his filming plan was exposed, no wonder it attracted the attention of so many people.

But he shook his head and said, "We are not here to find an actor, there is nothing to tell."

At this time, Yan Hong changed from a secretary to a bodyguard. He quickly stood in front of Lin Han and separated the reporters' camera with his arms, so that Lin Han and Xie Xin behind him could leave.

These paparazzi reporters were thrilled to photography in order to get the best position. After Lin Han and his group got into the taxi, the reporters also jumped into the car. More than ten dogs were following each other in the car, rushing to the red lights, and almost crashing, which was very thrilling!

Probably, the Hong Kong entertainment industry has been lonely for a long time. Now Lin Han is just starting to shoot a new movie, which has attracted so many reporters to follow him. It is conceivable how scarce the explosive news here is.

Lin Han turned his head and looked at the paparazzi who was chasing him behind him. He said with lingering fear: "These people are really desperate!"

After coming to the hotel where he stayed, Lin Han finally had the Internet to see what happened. It turned out that the outline of the movie he applied for filing with the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television before going to the UK was exposed, and he even made a trilogy directly. No wonder these press conferences were so crazy.

The Apple Daily, the largest entertainment tabloid in Hong Kong, released a news platform: "Science fiction master Lin Han arrived in Hong Kong and will select the male and female protagonists for the new film "The Matrix"!"

It was obvious that Lin Han said that he was not here to find an actor, but in order to attract attention, they directly ignored Lin Han's words. In less than half an hour after the news was posted, it directly received more than 300,000 clicks. After being forwarded by Xinlang Entertainment and others, the clicks increased even more.

"Lin Han's new work "The Matrix" was filmed at the same time, and professionals say the risk is too high!"

"The Matrix filing is coming, and three masterpieces tell you about the future savior!"

"The story summary of the Matrix is ​​revealed, and Lin Han is ambitious to create history!"

"The State Administration of Radio, Film and Television's March movie registration list is released, and the Lin Han hacking series is eye-catching."

"The hacker has released the plot, and Lin Han personally took the screenwriter and director, and the investment is expected to exceed 100 million!"
Chapter completed!
