"Yes, the copyright for motion capture technology is in the hands of Andy Serkis, but obviously Mr. Luo still doesn't understand the true meaning of anti-aging technology. Its most important development significance is in visual special effects that can be fake and real. It is not just PS smoothes out the wrinkles on the face frame by frame, and replaces the real performance method with a model in the database that matches the movement trajectory of the expression."
Liu Qingshan did not hide the core problem of anti-aging technology.
"Mr. Liu, can you speak more plainly?" Luo Guangxing asked.
"Any more would be leaking business secrets, Mr. Luo, please understand! But one thing I can tell you is that I can apply this technology to larger-scale war scenes, and I have already signed a contract with Hollywood for the technology of a top-level production. Contract, that’s what those people are here for!”
As soon as this was said, almost everyone in the small conference room stood up.
The only person who did not react violently was Yang Wancheng, because he had heard Liu Qingshan reveal something before.
"Mr. Liu, you, are you saying that today's Snowland Studio can already compete for jobs in Hollywood? And your age-reversing technology is what you rely on?"
Luo Guangxing's shocked expression was no exaggeration, because most of the others had similar expressions.
This is because they know very well that the reason why Hollywood is superior is not only its project planning and sufficient capital, but also the continuous development and utilization of high-tech technology.
Nowadays, the little-known Snowland Studio is actually able to undertake the special effects part of top Hollywood productions, which is enough to show that Liu Qingshan has technology patents that far exceed those of his Hollywood counterparts.
Liu Qingshan explained with a smile: "Of course we in Xueyu can't bear it all by ourselves. We need to cooperate with Yimeizhi Film Studio to complete it. However, I am responsible for the planning, script provision, and specific screen display effects of that large-scale production. As the leader, without my brain, no matter how huge the database is in the computer, I can’t come up with a complete project plan.”
Luo Guangxing nodded in agreement, "Now I understand a little bit. It turns out there is a deeper reason why those people are willing to come to support me!"
Liu Qingshan always had a cheerful face, "Let's turn the topic to the box office of "Kung Fu". The biggest attraction of this movie is not the special effects. A hilarious moment in ten seconds is the guarantee of the box office. And inside Even if it has a small supporting role without a single line, its distinctive image design will become a classic. With such a high overall quality, if it were not for too many direct funny themes, I think it would have the potential to win all the film awards!"
"There is another important reason!" Yang Wancheng added with a smile, "Mr. Luo, what you see is not the real final edited version. I am afraid that none of us, including me, are qualified to see the official version. In other words, we can see It’s just a very long splicing of extra-large highlights!”
The shock on Luo Guangxing's face became even more obvious: "Mr. Liu actually hid the final copy so deeply?"
Liu Qingshan smiled and did not answer directly. Instead, he looked at Zhou Xingchi who had been silent.
Zhou Xingchi glared at him, and then reluctantly explained: "This is Shanzi and I's idea. It's not that we don't trust the bosses here, but we want to give you a surprise at the premiere! Gorgeous exaggeration , the compactness of the plot and the smooth storytelling are the biggest reliance of our movie, and its significance is higher than the special effects, so we have great confidence. Just imagine watching the movie with everyone at the premiere The audience is laughing, it’s much happier than just a few people hiding in a dark room having fun, right?”
Han Shanping laughed loudly, "It's true. Having fun alone is not as good as having fun with everyone. The happiness that is exaggerated by more people will make the sense of accomplishment in my heart more profound! I understand your decision very much, and I am also looking forward to tomorrow night. 's premiere!"
Zhou Xingchi curled his lips. He was like this. He despised all compliments sent to suit the atmosphere and ignored all responses driven by interests.
In his heart, there is only the movie, and even the various interpersonal relationships that arise around the filming of the movie are just tools that are dragged down by interests and reputation.
He was proud in his heart, but the appearance and existence of Liu Qingshan was the most gratifying thing for him.
So he said: "I couldn't understand Shanzi's deliberateness in this matter before. In my opinion, he went astray and spent more time on hype instead of focusing on the role. ! But through this incident, I also discovered my shortcomings, that is, my vision and foresight! To be honest, this is the first time I heard today that he has secretly made arrangements with the top producers in Hollywood. After further contact, I was just as shocked!"
Liu Qingshan gave him a look of disdain: "You said so much in one breath, what is the central idea you want to express?"
Zhou Xingchi burst out laughing and was out of breath at one point: "You want me to praise you? I just don't obey your wishes! Originally I wanted to say more, but now I've decided to shut up!"
Liu Qingshan didn't care, "I don't want to say that I got it, I said it myself! As for the pattern that Mr. Xing just mentioned, I'm actually quite proud of it, because the evidence is right in front of me! That time in the Hong Kong film industry It’s been less than three months since the alliance meeting, right? How are things going now? Hong Kong’s kung fu movies have begun to make a splash around the world. As long as the distributor has the word “Hong Kong” in it, what’s the market situation like for those movies that will be released soon?”
Yang Wancheng happily continued: "The overseas copyrights of "The Fuse" and "The Handsome" have already recovered most of the cost. The nine-day box office of "The Handsome" has exceeded 30 million Hong Kong dollars, which means that the investors have been in public release for a long time. We started making profits on the third day!”
Liu Qingshan nodded: "What I want to say is that since Xiangjiang Kung Fu movies have once again become a global box office guarantee, our mainland film producers should also adopt similar alliances as soon as possible to jointly deal with overseas markets. In the future, film companies If they can strengthen cooperation and change the previous situation of each doing their own thing, sooner or later, Chinese-language films will be able to compete for jobs in Hollywood!"
"It's easy to say this, but so difficult to do. What's more, the mainland is not Hong Kong. The scale is dozens of times larger, and the sources of funds are even more diverse, making it difficult to control!"
It was Han Shanping who said this. As a semi-official Huaying, it has access to more industry insiders and has the best say in this regard.
Liu Qingshan shook his head: "It's definitely difficult, but the key is that we have to take the first step! And don't underestimate the Xiangjiang entertainment industry. Although the overall scale cannot be compared with the mainland, their production capabilities are not bad at all. , the interpersonal relationships are even more complicated.”
Yang Wancheng expressed his approval: "Sometimes, it's not a good thing to know each other. There is still the danger of being indifferent between brothers, not to mention business behavior driven by profit!"
"So, although it is difficult, taking the first step is a matter of attitude. A big market needs to be treated differently. Xiangjiang can complete the alliance in a few days, but for us, even if it takes years or decades, we can't We must take this first step this morning! Of course, I just said casually, that is a matter between your film company and capital, I am just a bystander, and I only express my emotions occasionally!"
As soon as Liu Qingshan finished speaking, Han Shanping shook his head: "You are not a bystander. As far as I know, your Snowland Entertainment will make big moves in May and June, right? Even several leading actors will It’s all set in advance!”
Liu Qingshan said happily: "I do not deny that I have plans, but I will not participate in the commercial investment of any film and television dramas in the mainland. Saving up capital to enter Hollywood is the main direction of Snowland Entertainment in the future."
"Does your production require the involvement of other capital?"
"Of course it is necessary. Some rules still need to be followed. I do not reject any business investment. I even hope that the more people can get a piece of the pie, the better. It is my style of doing things to start with me. If I want to change the status quo, the initial stage I am mentally prepared for my interests to be divided, and I do not intend to be a rebel in the industry."
"I'm very happy that you have such a clear understanding. Don't regard those capital parties and film companies as fire and water. No one is willing to create complications from cooperation based on common interests!"
Unexpectedly, Liu Qingshan directly refuted Han Shanping's official and formal talk, "I don't think so! There are still many domineering figures in this industry, such as Zhongyi. There is no problem if you want to cooperate, but does cooperation require cooperation? attitude? But their arrogant attitude blocked the road to cooperation in the first place. Let me ask, where did their arrogant attitude come from? "
Han Shanping's expression was a little embarrassed, "It's a big production company. The superiority mentality is understandable."
"I don't understand!" Liu Qingshan didn't hide his point of view at all. "Large production companies can rely on their own strength to take the lead, but they are limited to their own projects. Pointing fingers at other people's projects loses the sincerity of cooperation. Right? For example, for my first movie, all the project planning is mine. Why should I bring in big capital to take away the right to speak? The rules in the industry are to share the interests equally, not to plunder wantonly. Is there anything wrong with what I say? "
Han Shanping subconsciously nodded in agreement.
"When "Kung Fu" needed investors, I was the script provider and special effects producer. Zhongyi called me and wanted to take over the production rights. Is this the so-called sense of superiority of a big production company? And you How did Uncle Yang treat me? Calm discussion is the basis of cooperation. The alliance issue I raised before is to avoid the use of force and robbery like Zhongyi."
Yang Wancheng knew it was time for him to step forward, "What Shan Zi said is unreasonable or not. The issue of attitude is first and foremost the prerequisite for changing the shortcomings of the original industry. The subsequent amount of capital investment is secondary. Everything requires a standardized negotiation process, and It’s not just one person’s words!”
