Guo Fan felt a little strange. Even if the price of the props was so expensive, he still wanted the copyright?
Zhao Xin on the side saw Guo Fan's serious face and felt that this was a good opportunity for him to speak:
"Yes, the robotic arms were designed by the prop team. Why do you want the design copyright?"
Guo Fan ignored Zhao Xin. He looked at Sun Shang and motioned for the other party to speak.
The ownership of design copyright is a big issue. If there is no design copyright in the subsequent development of movie peripherals, the crew will get less money.
Although Guo Fan has little hope of selling peripheral information, he still needs to deal with the copyright ownership issue clearly at this moment.
Isn't it funny that a factory took away the copyright to something designed by the crew's prop team?
You can't pluck wool like this!
Sun Shang felt even more embarrassed when he mentioned the design of the robotic arm: "Director Guo, this is the final concept drawing of the robotic arm we designed."
Sun Shang pointed to what Zhao Xin had brought in Guo Fan's hand.
A black and unremarkable mechanical arm.
"Teacher Xiaojiang's one was improved by them."
When Guo Fan heard Sun Shang's words, he immediately understood.
The robotic arm made by Jiang's factory was probably improved and designed by Jiang Chen, and it has nothing to do with the concept drawings of the prop team.
Now that things have reached this point, what else is there to say?
After all, Jiang Chen is also the instructor of the crew, and he doesn't pay anyone a salary, so he can't treat him badly in this regard.
"No problem, the copyright belongs to you."
"But we agreed in advance that after you develop the peripherals, the production team will share 10% of the profits."
Guo Fan has already emptied his fortune in order to make movies. Although the money from selling peripheral products is small, for him, the more money he can make, the more money he can make.
Jiang Chen was speechless at Guo Fan's request.
I bought a small target around the Wandering Planet in my previous life!
Now Guo Fan only asks for 10%?
Okay, satisfy him!
Anyway, on the robotic arm, I have already given him a benefit.
Guo Fan is not at a loss either!
Jiang Chen thought, after all, what he made was a real robotic arm.
Five thousand yuan is really cheap.
But Jiang Chen saw more than just immediate benefits.
If I want to complete system tasks by making props, I have to form a good cooperative relationship with the Wandering Planet crew.
In this way, Jiang Chen's name can stand out in the prop circle, and Jiang's factory can escape the danger of bankruptcy.
To put it simply, Jiang Chen would not be able to complete the system's tasks without an order.
Thinking about it this way, it is no longer a trivial matter to suffer a small loss now. Anyway, you can make the money back later.
"No problem, Director Guo, I will sign the contract after you have finalized it."
Seeing Jiang Chen's straightforward answer, Guo Fan's slight dissatisfaction disappeared.
"Director Guo, the trial shooting of the dungeon scene will begin soon, and the actors are already in place."
Guo Fan's assistant Xiao Wu came over to remind him that it was time.
"Okay, I understand. If Xiaojiang is okay, you can come with us to see how the actors use it. If the shooting effect is not good, your robotic arm may have to be reworked!"
Guo Fan felt that it was necessary to say it first. It is rare for props to pass the test in one go.
If the shooting effect is not good or the actors are uncomfortable wearing it, then reworking the props is essential.
Especially in science fiction movies, it is common for a prop to have more than three versions of its design.
The design of the robotic arm this time was improved by Jiang's factory, so it was reasonable for Jiang Chen to go to the scene.
When Jiang Chen heard this, of course he had no objection.
Just in time, he wanted to see with his own eyes the actors' reactions after putting on the robotic arms.
Zhao Xin felt bad when he saw Guo Fan leaving with Jiang Chen and the prop team.
Originally, Dexin Factory was very confident about this order, but I didn't expect that Jiangshi Factory would produce a robotic arm with such good quality.
wrong.
It is impossible to make a robotic arm with lighting design within three days.
In order to save time, Jiang's factory must have done something in the robotic arm.
If this is the case, the mechanical arm Jiang Chen brought will not be able to pass the test.
It just looks good but the quality is not up to standard and you still want to increase your budget?
This is simply deceiving.
Yes, Jiang's factory is now on the verge of bankruptcy. I heard that they still owe ten million in debt. Jiang Chen definitely wants to take the opportunity to blackmail Director Guo for a sum of money.
Zhao Xin felt that he had grasped the key to the matter, and might be able to take this opportunity to completely close Jiang's factory. He decided to follow Director Guo and the others, preparing to expose Jiang Chen when he found an opportunity.
It would be best to remove the identity of the other party's props instructor.
Several people came to the underground city filming site that had been set up.
"Brother Geng, I've been waiting for a long time. I just went to get the robotic arm. Come and take a look at this robotic arm."
As soon as Guo Fan arrived at the set, he gave the robotic arm to Wu Gan.
This is a big-name actor who was tricked by him into making a guest appearance. He has participated in several high-grossing films of Dragon Kingdom.
Moreover, Wu Gan is also a great director, so it would be no problem for him to check out the props first.
Wu Gan took the robotic arm and held it in his hand for a closer look. He smiled helplessly: "Director Guo, aren't you trying to trick me with a real machine? How can this kind of texture be a prop?"
Guo Fan couldn't help but laugh when he heard what Wu Gan said.
Even Wu Gan thought it was a real machine, so he was indeed right about the quality of the robotic arm.
"Haha, Brother Ge, this is Xiao Jiang, our props guide. The things are made by his uncle's factory. They must be props. How can they be real machines?"
"But under Xiaojiang's guidance, he must have done it more carefully. He made the robotic arm look like the real thing, including the power button."
Guo Fan said as he pulled Jiang Chen in front of Wu Dan.
Facing a big star like Wu Gan, most people would be so excited that they would be speechless.
But Jiang Chen looked indifferent and just greeted Wu Gan politely without saying a word.
Regarding this, Wu Gan couldn't help but look at Jiang Chen a few more times.
As soon as he knew that the robotic arm in his hand was made under Jiang Chen's guidance, a hint of surprise flashed across Wu Dan's face: "Oh? Are the craftsmanship levels of young people so high now?"
"Xiaojiang, right? Let's increase our prestige later. I may need your help when I need props in the future!"
Wu Dan's words were exactly what Jiang Chen wanted to achieve this time, and of course he did not refuse.
After the people from the props team distributed the robotic arms, the hairy actor Latsky, who was co-starring with Wu Dan, was stunned.
Especially when the people from the props team showed him how to turn on the switch of the robotic arm, the light on the robotic arm reflected in his eyes, and the shock deep in his eyes could not escape.
Never before have I seen such realistic props in a movie.
The mechanical arm shining with blue and green light looks like it really came out of the science fiction world.
Ratzki had also played a supporting role in a Hawk Sauce movie before. Originally, he didn't like the movie Wandering Planet, thinking that it would be just like the previous science fiction movies of Dragon Kingdom, which was shoddy.
Ratzky originally just wanted to make some quick money and walk away, but at this moment, he stopped being petty.
A robotic arm is so delicate, and it looks like this movie really put a lot of thought into it.
Latsky, who originally just wanted to make a splash, had a change in his heart that he didn't notice at all.
