After everyone had expressed their opinions, Liu Qingshan began to speak; "Everyone's wishes will be implemented item by item in the future, and will also be concretely reflected in your new work contract! But this is a topic for the future, and it is urgent now. What I want is for my first directorial work to be put on the screen as soon as possible. What can you say about this?"
After everyone heard this, they all turned their attention to Frederick. Apparently, these people had already had private discussions on this issue.
Frederick took out a USB flash drive with a smile, "Boss, we held an internal meeting specifically for the original picture material of "Let the Bullets Fly", and the tasks have been assigned in a targeted manner! Here is the meeting Some of the mature technologies conceived, such as the moving train rolling in the air, have actually completed the data through everyone’s efforts! Considering that there are not too many special effects parts in the entire film, we can guarantee that the rest will be released within a month All completed within!”
Normally, Fan Shengyang and Liu Qingshan were almost inseparable. Even if there were meetings involving business secrets, he would sit silently in the corner and watch, so that he could listen to his master's instructions at any time.
At this time, he took on the responsibility of being a personal assistant, and the pictures in the USB flash drive were immediately displayed on the screen hanging on the wall.
The first thing that appeared was the special effect of the train rolling in the air at the beginning of the film. It was far more exquisite than the original film, and Liu Qingshan couldn't help but nod his head while watching.
But instead of showing his inner joy, he controlled the progress bar and played it back in slow motion frame by frame.
As he just said, this film is his first directorial debut, and it is also the first work of Xueyu Entertainment. The future market box office performance will directly affect the future development of his career, so there cannot be any negligence.
Originally, he was satisfied as long as the effect he predicted was as good as the original version. Unexpectedly, the special effects team gave him a big surprise. Just this one stunt scene exceeded the original version. He spent a lot of money to buy it from a Hollywood special effects company. Comes with customized effects.
It's just that he can't express this emotion, otherwise team members will easily develop a sense of pride, which will inevitably lead to slackness in future effect production.
In addition to this clip, there are many other special effects designs, not many of which are detailed displays. Some special effects are only a short one or two seconds and require slow-motion playback to reflect the sophistication of the production.
It took about twenty minutes before Liu Qingshan turned off the projector, nodded and said calmly: "It basically conforms to the design concept in my mind, but this film focuses on the setting of the storyline. There are fewer special effects, but the more The more perfect the presentation is, the more perfect it is. I agree with these materials in principle, but I need you to come up with a more ideal version! For example, a few drops of hot pot soup splashed on the protagonist's clothes when the train took off. You have all eaten hot pot, but in this The color of the hot pot soup presented to me was slightly different."
Frederick nodded convincingly. He was not the actual producer, but the final effect was reviewed by him, and there was no color problem with a few drops of soup.
"Also, the authenticity of the weapons and silver scattered on the carriage is not high, and the clarity is also questionable. You need to further modify these issues based on the actual objects to strive to achieve a more realistic effect, and the images of the actual objects can be searched on the Internet !”
The shortcomings of these special effects are also shortcomings in the original version, which are directly related to the technological level at the time.
Liu Qingshan raised it at this time, which can be regarded as a small new topic, but because it is just a detail issue, the actual solution is not difficult.
The main reason is that the producers of special effects are not careful enough. If every detail can be based on repeated comparisons with real objects, the production of the most perfect effects will only take some time. There is no problem with new technology.
When he put forward several requests, everyone present felt a little uneasy, but they did not think that their boss was being picky, but because of his serious attitude in strict review.
Because even if all these scenes were added up, it would only last a few seconds. It was undoubtedly a great mental shock for them that Liu Qingshan's request could be so detailed.
However, he did not show any dissatisfaction, but tried his best to show his generosity, and then made these scientific researchers feel as guilty as possible, so that they could strive for better work attitudes in the future. .
He doesn't understand psychology, but has a consistent way of life. He treats his friends and his employees. Unless it's a big issue of right and wrong, he rarely shows a serious expression.
Because through this, he has made many friends. Of course, this is based on the premise that others know the consequences of his true anger. For other people, this effect may not be obvious.
He learned this way of life from Ge Daquan. It is said that if the water is clear, there will be no fish, and if a person is careful, there will be no disciples.
If you are too demanding of others, the effect you get will only be farther and farther away from his psychological requirements. It may be effective for a while, but as time goes by, everything has its limits, and everything must be reversed at the extreme. There is no perfection, only suitability, no matter people or things. Nothing is truly perfect.
Today's meeting ended and it was already evening. Because he was thinking about the dinner for Taylor's mother, Liu Qingshan finally rejected the employees' attempts to stay and arrived at the agreed hotel before the agreed eight o'clock in the evening.
However, there are currently a lot of foreign guests coming to Kyoto for him, and there was no special banquet to entertain them before. So tonight I can only gather a few things together to solve them.
Therefore, many people came to today's dinner, including Podolski, the big boss of Jägermeister Liqueur, whom I had just met.
After being here for many days, Blaney, Universal Music's new head of distribution and human resources, found the opportunity to discuss future record distribution issues with him.
Upon hearing this, Liu Qingshan said cheerfully: "Since I promised Warner for my first album, I should keep my word. However, Universal Music has always been a great help to me. I can consider cooperation for the second album!"
Even though he knew the result would be like this, Blaney obviously still refused to give up: "Mr. Liu, can you think of a workaround? As you know, I just took this position, and many people in the company who are more qualified than me are secretly trying to Observing, I want to find an opportunity to report me to the senior management!"
Liu Qingshan also understood the difficulty in this person's heart, and after a moment of hesitation he said: "I think so, Taylor is half a member of Universal Music Group, and has the rights to distribute her new records. Currently, her second solo album is also It needs to be recorded soon, and I promise you that during the promotion period of her new album, I will personally go to your country or a European country to participate in her signing event!"
Blainey shook his head: "At least three times, you also know in your heart that Taylor and you have a deep personal friendship. If there is no request from our company, you will help her publicize it, right?"
Liu Qingshan laughed loudly: "You are not as generous as your predecessor Mr. Heinz. You care too much about details, and what you said makes me a little embarrassed!"
"I can't take care of your emotions and cause a crisis of trust in my new position, right?"
"What you said makes sense! Twice, once for America and once for other countries, no more. You also know that I am very busy now and need time to complete more works!"
"Three times, twice at home and once abroad, and our company will pay for your announcement!"
"I can only promise you two times, and at most one more personal interview. Don't forget that I have delivered two movie scripts to your film company. Your conditions can't be too harsh!"
"Okay, two times, plus one interview recording! Don't worry, I will be responsible for all expenses myself!"
Liu Qingshan smiled and agreed without exposing the other party's little thoughts. It was impossible for Universal to avoid the issue of advertising fees, because his overseas advertising market was currently in a state of price and no market, and only the old In recent times, the US region has been calling frequently to inquire about availability.
As a mid-level employee of Universal Music Group, Blainey couldn't possibly have any understanding of such market demand.
And he always felt that this person's business ability was not as good as the previous Heinz. At least the latter treated him as a friend first, and then talked about work.
Jin Xishan was the host today and bought a lot of gifts for Taylor. For some reason, Xiao Nizi was very interested in traditional Chinese clothing. She ordered several sets of different styles of cheongsam.
The store that makes cheongsam is the same manufacturer that provides traditional clothing for Xueyu Entertainment. This idea came about because Liu Qingshan knew that the future trend of Hanfu would be an unstoppable characteristic of the times, and it was not only popular in China, but also It is the influence that gradually spreads overseas.
Especially when China is suppressed by Western forces led by Lao America, many public figures who have a good impression of China have taken the initiative to stand up and support China in Hanfu, including Hollywood stars and NBA stars.
Especially among young people in Western societies, many of them consider it fashionable to wear Hanfu and Tang suits. It can be seen that the influence of the Hanfu trend has already subtly affected many foreigners.
Especially after 2020, when short video APPs became popular all over the world, all videos related to Hanfu on YouTube have always had a high number of overseas views. There is only one reason, that is, the traditional Chinese costumes are really beautiful, and The owner is unconventional and classy.
Promoting traditional Chinese culture through the performance of the girl group is one of Liu Qingshan's in-depth plans to establish this girl group. Why he found opera training opportunities for them is to give them the opportunity to perform for the first time after returning from three months of study. The album was a blockbuster.
He even started preparing the girl group's album songs months ago, and the new songs that need to be recorded overnight tonight include Jin Xishanhe's first ancient style song.
As a Chinese, of course I am proud to sing ancient Chinese songs. Of course, it is also for the purpose of promoting Jin Xishan's upcoming "The Legend of Zhen Huan".
