Chapter 242 240. How much does this cost?!(2/2)
Foreign countries enter the Chinese market at a speed of producing a 3D blockbuster almost every year, and by that time the audience will see a very obvious gap between home and abroad.
Our country started very early in 3D movies, and now Bomi is very leading in computer drawing technology. This time, the special effects part of Honor of Kings can prove this.
Although there will definitely be a lot of equipment and technology added to the subsequent 3D shooting, these are not very difficult.
It turns out that if we didn't spend our money on meaningless actor pay, traffic and advertising, we could have made blockbusters like Wandering Earth.
Moreover, the total cost of wandering the earth is only 340 million. According to the original screenwriter Gong Geer, he considered Hollywood special effects companies at that time, but if they were left to them, the final production cost might be 300 million US dollars. After weighing the pros and cons, the movie finally found a domestic special effects company to complete the production, and controlled the cost to around 50 million US dollars.
It is now 2005, and the cost is definitely much lower than this one.
If Bomi can't handle it himself, Cao Yang can also consider outsourcing some of the special effects to Pixar in the United States.
...
"Okay, the boss said it's OK." Ai Xiaomi clenched her fists and encouraged herself.
Anyway, the boss who paid for it was the boss, or Bomi who paid it for it. She is a small shareholder, and there is nothing to worry about if she loses it.
As long as the boss doesn't feel sorry for him.
"But it seems that the cost of making a 3D science fiction movie is very high. What content should we do this time?"
Speaking of the word science fiction, Ai Xiaomi has no idea at all.
It’s not that I lack ability, but that I can’t generate enough associations in my brain for a while, and I don’t know what to use to adapt.
You can't create one by yourself, right?
This is a bit difficult.
Cao Yang smiled, "I've thought of all the scripts for you."
He picked up a magazine from the table next to him and threw it to Ai Xiaomi.
Ai Xiaomi hurriedly hugged it in a hurry.
"Hey?Science fiction world?"
She picked it up and took a look. It was the magazine of the seventh issue of "Science Fiction World" in 2000.
"What an old book, it's already been 2005."
Ai Xiaomi looked through the contents inside.
“So which one do we want to shoot?”
"Did you see that? Liu Cixin's novella "The Wandering Earth""
Ai Xiaomi followed the directory for a while and finally found it.
The length of this novel is very short, with less than 50,000 words of content. It will disappear after a few strokes. It is not as good as the future. The author Meng Meng Meng has a lot of updates in one day.
So Ai Xiaomi watched very quickly.
It took about twenty minutes, Ai Xiaomi raised her head in confusion, "Hmm? We want to shoot this?"
Mom!!!
Sending the entire earth into space directly?!
Is this something that people can take pictures?
"Of course it's not just that," Cao Yang curled his lips, "Just like this, how can I shoot it? At least I have to expand it?"
...
Yes.
Cao Yang has already thought about it.
Since we have the skills and some people, why don’t we put 3D movies on the agenda earlier?
The most important thing is that Bomi is rich now.
After Fantasy Westward Journey was launched, it has accumulated more than one million users so far, with the average number of online users exceeding 200,000.
Bomi's game industry alone can bring nearly 5 billion in revenue to the company every year, not to mention the revenue brought by QQ, music and platform.
In a few years, Bomi will grow into a giant.
Therefore, Cao Yang is not short of money.
Or, it's not that short of money.
The main reason is that the mobile phone business is still very expensive, and it is still a bottomless pit so far.
But Cao Yang can still save 1 billion to shoot a large domestic 3D science fiction movie for Ai Xiaomi.
"And," Cao Yang said with a smile, "This time, in order to control the quality, I will produce the script and art concepts, and you are responsible for the storyboard and shooting parts."
"Oh, okay, okay." Ai Xiaomi changed from the initial hesitation to the current confidence. A smile appeared on her face, feeling like she was shining by the sun.
Ai Xiaomi still believes in the boss's skills very much.
Especially when it comes to painting, Boss Cao is simply amazing.
As soon as the original collection of Shanhai Jing was released, many people would shout loudly about the cow's comments.
This time, Ai Xiaomi still believed that Cao Yang could do it. Once the design concept of the wandering earth was released, it would definitely be very awesome.
"Thank you, boss, we will definitely succeed this time!" Ai Xiaomi said, clenching her fists.
"That's sure."
Cao Yang's mouth rose slightly.
Wandering Earth is a milestone in the history of domestic 3D science fiction movies. It kicked open the door to the 3D world with one step, allowing the whole world to see that we can do a good job in 3D science fiction blockbusters.
"The top priority is to find Liu to buy the copyright first."
...
In the afternoon, Cao Yang found Liu Zhiping and explained the situation. Liu Zhiping agreed and promised that he would definitely buy Liu's copyright.
"By the way." Cao Yang suddenly remembered something.
"Hmm?" Liu Zhiping raised his head.
"You remember to buy copyrights and don't put too much pressure on the price. I suggest giving Liu some box office share. Let the writer get a higher salary, at least not lower than the actor's salary."
Many of Liu's books were sold to film and television companies at a bargain price. It is said that he only sold the copyright of Wandering Earth for 5,000 yuan.
At that time, there were quite a lot of people who wrote books, but intellectual property rights had a much more contribution and impact on the future.
Therefore, Cao Yang hopes that starting from him, at least Bomi can respect talents who provide script creativity. First of all, material respect. Without them writing excellent works, the domestic film industry will not make great progress.
The world where traffic students are in power is definitely not as good as the world where screenwriters are in power.
At least that's what Cao Yang thinks.
Don’t be greedy for immediate benefits, and look at it longer-term.
Only with a screenwriter can there be good works, and only with a good work can there be a large number of audiences...
Then there will be a good movie platform...
This is a virtuous cycle.
