Hehe, the whole world is forcing me to be a stand-in BE version

Song Tu, that is, the middle-aged man in the Mediterranean who was scolded by director Ji for taking commercials indiscriminately. Zhang Laolian is desperate to give up, and has brought nearly 1.5 million investment to our "Legend of the Demon Fox of the Tang Dynasty", you can't let us lose money."

Deputy Director Deng smiled: "It's not the first time everyone has cooperated, don't you still believe in the strength of me and the teacher?"

Hu Qi, the tie man sitting on his left, couldn't help laughing: "If I didn't believe you, I wouldn't have picked up this hot potato from the very beginning."

Song Tu said: "I agree with what he said. However, as Director Ji said, feelings belong to feelings, and movies belong to movies. As for the preparations in the early stage, you don't have to worry. With us old bones, you can still say Aren’t you a word? Since it’s a big production worth over [-] million yuan, and it’s Director Ji’s top-notch work, we can’t be half-hearted, we must make a masterpiece. We old things, let’s try to sprint for an Oscar No? Hahaha."

Deputy Director Deng quickly got up, bowed sincerely to everyone and said: "Thank you, thank you, thank you for your support. The teacher's achievements today are inseparable from everyone's help."

"Look, look," Song Bald pointed to the young Deng Wenhe, turned to look at the other colleagues and said, "Lao Ji, a bad guy, has never done anything good in his life. The only thing he did right was to accept such a well-behaved Good and sensible student."

"Get lost! What nonsense are you talking about?" Director Ji rolled his eyes angrily, but everyone else laughed.

"Isn't it? As for Lao Ji's bad temper, hey, no matter how powerful he is, we can't afford to serve him."

"That's right, if it weren't for our little Deng's face, brother, I wouldn't bother to care about Ji Da's explosives."

"I said Xiao Deng, why don't you kick your teacher right now? There are many big bosses here, all of whom are rich. Why don't you do it with us?"

"What are you grabbing? I haven't said anything yet. Old Xu, get the hell out of here."

All of a sudden, everyone started to scramble, and Director Ji next to him was not happy. "Do you dare to covet my students? Hurry up." He pointed at the sofa with his finger, "Let's get to the point."

"Okay, what did we just talk about?" Song Tu thought for a while, then continued what he said earlier, "By the way, for the mid-term shooting, I believe in your strength. However, the script, actors, shooting, location, board and lodging, costumes Props, car rental equipment... which one of these does not need to burn money? But now it is different from the past. You see, many of the top box office movies these days are Marvel hero movies. If you want to make a good movie, you can’t ignore it. In the post-production process, we still need to spend a lot of money on special effects and art."

Deng Wenhe nodded: "Indeed, that's why we gritted our teeth this time and specially set aside 29% of the cost for the Visual Effects Industry. Now special effects outsourcing has become a big industry trend. On the one hand, Hollywood's visual effects industry is indeed relatively large. The domestic industry is more mature, and on the other hand, the industry in Europe and the United States has also tended to the stage of global free competition. Many TV companies have lowered prices in order to compete for the market, with high quality and low cost. After many considerations, we finally decided to sign a contract with R&H."

"Is there any good movie now that doesn't spend money on special effects? Take "Painted Skin 2" as an example, most of the scenes were shot in front of the green screen, and the post-production basically relied on modeling, and there are more than 700 places in detail. They all have special effects. Our 5000w is already very cheap.” The man in the tie sighed, “Who knew that R&H would go bankrupt when it said it would go bankrupt.”

Deng Wenhe said: "Many people did not think of this matter. After all, R&H has produced more than 87 films since its establishment in 160. It has won the Oscar for Best Visual Effects three times. It is very well-known in the industry. For example, you should all have watched "Youth Pi" directed by Ang Lee, I believe everyone should be familiar with the realistic Bengal tiger in the movie, right?"

After a pause, he continued: "But do you know that more than half of the shots are actually CG animations synthesized in post-production. Although there is only one tiger on the big screen, the special effects director revealed in a later interview that there is More than 16 animators took care of tens of millions of tiger hairs one by one, fine-tuned every muscle of the virtual model based on real images, and it took almost a year to finally complete the production. So, The reason why "Youth Pi" is able to sweep the world is inseparable from the years of experience accumulated by the company's special effects team. This is why after watching the movie, Director Ji asked me to contact the United States on the same day."

"R&H did win the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects with this film, but... even the gross profit of less than 5%, Ang Lee also bankrupted it." Hu Qi mocked, "Bill came to the stage to lead During the awards ceremony, when he first started talking about the company’s financial problems, the conference directly muted his microphone and played loud music to drive people away, which couldn’t have been more embarrassing.”

People started talking again.This topic is very sharp, but we are all filmmakers. Since we work in this industry, how can we not understand it.

Director Ji thumped heavily: "Okay, okay, we have so much free time to care about others, why not care about ourselves more. If we don't do well in this vote, maybe we have to drink Northwest Wind like R&H."

After everyone else looked back at him, Director Ji said, "You all know what I mean. My consistent aim is: Either don't do it, or do it the best way."

Deng Wenhe added: "What the teacher means is to choose one of the four top VFX companies in the world. Brother Song prefers Digital Domain under Director Cameron, which is the company that produced "Titanic". Director Ji is more inclined In IML, Light and Shadow has been the leader in this industry since "Star Wars". However, I think this company is better at large-scale mechanical production. Our film needs to render creatures such as foxes. WetaDigital and ImageWorks may be more suitable .In addition, I have already discussed in detail with the people of these companies, and the corresponding price lists have been given to you. Generally speaking, they are not very cheap, and they are much more expensive than our original budget."

Director Ji said: "Which one is to be elected? In the end, it is decided that the minority obeys the majority and votes." After finishing speaking, he couldn't help complaining in a low voice, "To save you from talking all day long and saying that I am a gangster. .”

"Teacher..." Deng Wenhe looked at Director Ji helplessly.

The others couldn't help laughing.

The atmosphere was very relaxed at the moment, and someone asked if we should discuss it now and make a decision.

Just as Director Ji was about to agree, Deng Wenhe quickly glanced at us, stood up, and whispered to Director Ji for a while.

Director Ji raised his head and glanced at Best Actor Fang, then at me, his eyes lit up strangely.

But he didn't say anything, but called the meeting over impatiently.

Tens of millions of investment is a big problem, and the result cannot be reached by sitting down and chatting.

Therefore, the others did not object. Deng Wenhe and the others bid farewell to Director Ji while packing their things.

Ji Dao sat lazily on the sofa like an emperor, impatient with other people's farewells.

And Deng Wenhe sent the detailed information of the special effects company to everyone one by one, and said goodbye to everyone cordially.Occasionally, I will talk to each other in a low voice, pat on the shoulder, or shake hands.

Some people turned their heads in surprise when they were going out, and noticed Actor Fang sitting in the corner.

However, they did not talk to each other, but looked at Director Ji, and then smiled and gave us a look of "Take care, brother, and ask for blessings".

Fang Yingdi nodded a little dumbfounded to express his understanding.

The other party looked at me curiously, then left.

After everyone left, Deng Wenhe walked towards us with a smile, chatted with Fang Yingdi for a few words, and led us to Director Ji.

So, after a long (not) long wait, Yingdi Fang and I were finally received by His Majesty Ji.

Saying you're not nervous is a lie.

When I really talked to this man who has occupied the "Top Ten Most Personal Directors in the Country", "Top Ten Most Talented Directors in the Country", "Top Ten Box Office Myths in the Country", "Top Ten Most Likely Oscar-winning Directors in the Country" for many years director"... When the directors on the list face to face, I subconsciously swallowed my saliva.

You know, I'm not Ouyang Jiaming himself.

And the other party is a master who has been in the entertainment industry all year round and has a piercing eye comparable to Monkey King.

What if the other party sees through the dummy skin I'm wearing?

The dog who will be scolded will be beaten out directly...

Thinking about it, I really feel that the future is worrying.

#How can I cover my vest tightly in front of Monkey King?Urgent, wait online#

Actor Fang is very familiar with Director Ji and Deng Wenhe, which can be easily seen from the way they greet each other.What's more, even a person with superb acting skills can't fake his eyes. The enthusiasm and kindness in Fang Yingdi's eyes, as well as the satisfaction of a master when he sees a proud student in Director Ji's eyes, are all seen by anyone with a discerning eye. clear facts.

Speaking of which, when I was posting a variety show with me a long time ago, in a talk show, I saw Fang Yingdi admitting that there were 3 very important turning points in his acting career, and two of them were related to the actor Director Ji's movie.

The first time was in the first year of Fang Yingdi's debut. At that time, he was not the actor he is today, but just a character who got a walk-on role and didn't even have a line. Fang Baichuan, who couldn't sleep all night, called at three or four o'clock in the morning to harass his friends and tell his excitement.

Then the next day he was severely abused by Director Ji.
