Hollywood's special effects production is famous, but it also means that large production costs are extremely high.
Being able to use one's own technology means that as far as investors are concerned, the profits will be different.
Yang Wancheng, who is also an investor, will naturally pay special attention to this information.
Liu Qingshan chose this as a breakthrough point for the conversation, obviously with prior consideration.
Of course, the cunning Boss Yang will immediately understand the reason.
Therefore, Liu Qingshan did not intend to beat around the bush, but chose to be straightforward: "You must also know the crew I am currently in. No matter before or now, I have felt all kinds of pressure from the investors of the crew very bluntly!"
Yang Wancheng chuckled and responded: "I know about this, and I even know who is behind it."
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and a beautiful blonde came in. She just brought red wine to the two of them, then turned and left.
"This is Amelia, my personal secretary. If you can't find me in the future, you can call her directly."
His topic then changed, "Do you know Sanyou Pictures in Xiangjiang? It is the first investor in "Slaying the Wolf". On the surface, it has nothing to do with our Qinghuang Pictures, but the Xiangdong Group behind them is related to I personally hate to seize my wife. Of course, the so-called seizing of my wife is their own idea, and there are twists and turns in it, but I am too lazy to explain to them!"
Liu Qingshan immediately sensed something, but he did not inquire into the matter. Instead, he focused the topic on Sanyou Pictures.
"I don't care about the Xiangdong Group. Even if its market value exceeds 100 billion, it has nothing to do with me. The one who offended me for no reason was Sanyou Pictures. Yesterday I just asked Hong Dabao to bring a message to that investor. From now on As far as their investment projects are concerned, Snowland Studio will refuse to undertake any projects!"
"Did you really ask Hong Dabao to take this to you? Haven't you heard about what Sanyou Pictures is before?"
“This is the first time I’ve heard of this name, and of course I didn’t know it beforehand!”
"Then let me tell you first. The so-called Three Friends, as the name suggests, are three people. They are called Shang Xuemao, Guan Tongru, and He Wanqin. This is their official name. Not many people know the details. However, the three of them Each of them has his own nickname, namely Ma Lao, Fei Hua and Da Po Niu. These three nicknames are very famous in the underworld in Xiangjiang."
"So they are all gangsters? Sanyou Pictures also has a gang background?"
"That's half right. Strictly speaking, they are not members of the gang, but they have a deep relationship with the gang. Sanyou Pictures does have a gang background, or the Ma Lao, Fei Hua and Da Po Niu Three people are just their spokespeople.”
"What connection do they have with Xiangdong Group?"
"Xiangdong is an old business power in Xiangjiang. Although it is far from the hundreds of billions of capital you talk about, but because it started relatively early, the business projects involved in its name are complicated. It is normal for some of them to be stained!"
"Sanyou Pictures is a big company under their name?"
"Generally speaking, Xiangdong Group owns four listed companies in Xiangjiang, and Sanyou Pictures is only a direct subsidiary of one of them."
"Okay, I admit that Xiangdong Group is something I can't afford to offend, but that doesn't mean I can be bullied by the people from Sanyou Pictures. So I won't regret the decision I made yesterday."
"Actually, I agree with what you are doing. To be honest, due to the corruption of Sanyou Pictures, a lot of inhumane and dirty things have been caused in the entertainment industry in Xiangjiang. Although after Xiangjiang's return, they all restrained themselves and got clean. It’s a small move, but the impact is deep-rooted, and there are a lot of villains in the entertainment industry in Hong Kong who are willing to follow it.”
"With all due respect, could it be that I accidentally bumped into him and Hong Dabao was one of them?"
"You are overthinking. In fact, Hong Dabao is related to our Qinghuang Pictures. The reason why he was able to talk to Sanyou Pictures is because of his own personal influence. And yesterday he did not reject you outright. In fact, It gives you a lot of face!"
"Well, that's what happened. It seems that I will have to apologize to Brother Dabao in person in the future!"
"That's not necessary. If he is willing to help you, of course he will have his own reasons."
"So, an existence like Sanyou Pictures actually doesn't get the support of a few big-name stars?"
"What is support? If being willing to accept the films they invest in is also called support, all the stars in Hong Kong are supporting Sanyou Pictures! Shanzi, the entertainment industry in Hong Kong has its historical reasons, but it does not mean who is being filmed. The film you invest in is the one who owns it. The island is so big, and those people who come and go control the limited film and television resources, so whoever the local stars are close to does not mean that they exclude other forces, you know Yet?"
"I seem to understand a little bit."
"So the situation of celebrities in Xiangjiang is very difficult. If you are not careful, you will fall into a certain intricate network of relationships. Therefore, it is not easy for Hong Dabao to agree to you. That is to say, he is not afraid of his status in the world. Threat from Sanyou Pictures.”
"So, what you mean is..."
"I don't dare to teach you how to do it. Just follow your own ideas. But when it comes to Sanyou Pictures, I don't think you need to think too much about it. You are a mainlander after all. Sometimes you can compete with a dragon crossing the river. The rewards of working hard to adapt to the new environment will be much greater, because you have the strength yourself, just like the future Snowland Studio!"
He was trying his best to be less explicit in his words, and Liu Qingshan could still feel this.
However, we can also understand Yang Wancheng. After all, he was born and raised here, so the rhetoric of bringing in an outside force to deal with his colleagues in Hong Kong is a bit unpleasant after all.
So Liu Qingshan immediately changed the topic smartly: "I think it's better to watch that video first. I haven't watched it since it was shot!"
Yang Wancheng laughed again: "How can you appreciate yourself? You are too narcissistic!"
Having said that, he still picked up the phone and dialed a certain person.
Just a few minutes later, the tall blonde Amelia appeared again and invited the two of them to the screening room on the other floor.
There were already several people waiting around the table at that location. After seeing Liu Qingshan, they all stood up and introduced themselves.
There are four of them in total, three women and one man. They are all around forty years old. They should be the head of a certain department of Qinghuang Pictures' external publicity.
After getting Yang Wancheng's approval, one of them got up and walked forward and turned on the professional projector.
The entire video is thirteen minutes long and includes several images of different clothes.
More than seven minutes of it were the last one-time reshoots, and the rest was pieced together from scattered crew shots.
To be honest, when Liu Qingshan watched it for himself, he felt a little funny. After all, he was only a beginner at that time, and he was not even close to any level.
But that kind of performance is already at an extremely high level in today's martial arts world. At least in the eyes of a few martial arts practitioners who have seen it, it is an extremely terrifying display of strength.
This included Hong Dabao, and it was through this scene that he had the utmost respect for Liu Qingshan.
