Chapter 114 Special Effects Company 【Ninth More】
"Director Qin, thank you for choosing me in this movie."
Hu Changsu completely finished the scene and toasted Qin Dong at the dinner table at night.
"No, please thank Mr. Cai when you go back."
Qin Dong touched the cup and reminded him, "This thank you can't bear it. It was a transaction, and the person who wanted to thank you was the boss of the Tangerman."
[Source Code] Qin Dong spent more than a month and nearly two months to finally complete the shooting task.
Below are other post-production work such as special effects, editing, subtitles, dubbing, etc.
...
Tiangong Technology Company.
"How much? Only 40 million funds account for 40% of the shares? Are you kidding me?"
Qin Dong looked at Chang Song with thick eyebrows and big ears unhappy:
"Your small company, plus you only have more than twenty people in total."
"You give me an estimate of 100 million? Are you funny?"
Chang Song's face seriously explained:
"Mr. Qin, although our company is not big and there are few people, our brothers are all leaders in the industry. We can't be called international experts, but the domestic industry is definitely one at a glance."
"Many Hollywood special effects blockbusters, many of which are processed by our company. Although they are all cumbersome scraps, it is not that we have a big gap in technology, but that there are not so many high-tech tools that can keep up with it."
“For example…”
Qin Dong waved his hand quickly:
"Okay, there is no need to say about these. No matter what, your company has fewer people and less profitable projects every year."
"I doubt that the money you earn is not enough for employees' wages, is it because you can't make ends meet?"
Chang Song smiled bitterly helplessly.
Since Qin Dong wants to invest in his company, he must have investigated it.
Faced with such a problem, he had nothing to say.
"Dong...Dong..."
Qin Dong knocked on the table and pondered.
After filming the film, I received a call from Chang Song. It seems that this person is also paying attention to the progress of Qin Dong's film.
It's just that the estimated price of 100 million is definitely not enough. Not to mention that Qin Dong has no money now, he is not happy to have money.
Besides, I have a system mall, so I guess I will be fine if I redeem the cheapest artificial intelligence. At that time, the special effects of my movie will be included in the special effects company for several months, but I can handle it in minutes with my own computer.
After thinking about it carefully, I still have to buy special effects companies. If I don’t buy them, the movie cost accounts are not easy to make. My movie special effects are so good, and I don’t even have a special effects company. Isn’t this obvious that there is a ghost in it?
"Mr. Chang, I can only give you an estimate of 50 million yuan. This is because you and these employees are our own people. In order to enhance the capabilities of our local special effects company, I am willing to estimate this high, but there are also prerequisites."
Facing Chang Song's questioning gaze, Qin Dong stretched out his palm and grabbed it suddenly:
"I want to hold the shares wholly, but I can give you 5% dividends and 5% work rewards to other people in the company."
"And I will increase my investment in the future."
Chang Song expressed his dissatisfaction and opened his mouth to refuse, but Qin Dong waved his hand and continued:
"The company's personnel remains unchanged, and you still manage it. I won't ask, but I just want to expand the recruitment and the salary can be appropriately increased."
"The name can also remain unchanged, but the four words "The Qin Empire" should be added in front of it."
"Mr. Chang, I have limited time. You agree. Then I have to complete the special effects work of my new movie [source code] now. I want to test your speed and ability."
"Don't agree, I turn around and leave and contact other special effects companies."
Chang Song stared at Qin Dong hesitantly, trying to see what the young director thought, but saw a calm face.
Fifty million, not many, but not many.
In recent years, Chang Song has invested millions. In addition, he can barely maintain the expenditure balance when working for foreign special effects companies. However, the company cannot develop without making money. How can it be expanded without money?
There are very few domestic movies that require special effects, and only these domestic entertainment companies are obsessed with foreigners.
Even if you can't get to Hollywood's special effects companies and think they are too expensive, you will find special effects companies from Kanzi Country and Island Country. Although these companies are a bit cheaper, they are still several times more expensive than domestic special effects companies.
But these local entertainment companies would rather spend more money to find outsiders than give them opportunities to local special effects companies.
Some things are hard to describe, and Changsong recalls bitterly.
Although netizens often call the domestic special effects 50 cents effect, many of them are actually not their business at all.
For the same special effects, local companies give foreign special effects companies five million US dollars, but foreign companies still think that they are too little, and they even think that they give their local special effects companies two million yuan, and they also have a temptation to be able to do not.
In addition, some technologies require equipment support, so you can't buy these cutting-edge equipment without money.
This is how the vicious cycle forms.
"Mr. Qin, I promise you."
Chang Song finally agreed bitterly:
"It's just that the contract must be stated, and the subsequent investment cannot be less than 100 million yuan."
"Employee contracts shall not be terminated without reason, and the basic salary and benefits of employees shall not be lower than those of peers."
Qin Dong thought about it and nodded:
"Yes, I promise you, but I will add two more."
"First, employees must keep up with their abilities, not just fill in the numbers."
"Second, if you leave, you must not be allowed to contact the industry within ten years. Each of these companies must re-sign the contract."
Nowadays, no matter what industry it is, talents are needed.
Talent is the most important property and currency in the new century.
Poaching is a very normal business operation, and Qin Dong has to prepare for it and prevent it in advance.
Although I can use artificial intelligence to make special effects in the future, this thing cannot be seen, especially when I have no confidence, there must be an excellent special effects company in front of me.
“Yes, these are basic business requirements.”
Chang Song agreed without hesitation.
In any industry, once it involves excellent employee contracts, there are similar cases where relevant work is not allowed within a few years after the labor contract is terminated.
"Okay, then prepare the contract."
Qin Dong stood up:
"Pay it in half a year, and I want to see your abilities and speed of the special effects of [source code]."
Special effects, the general trend in the future.
Qin Dong had to make arrangements earlier.
Future special effects blockbusters and local animated movies will come sooner or later, just like the development of Hollywood over the years. This is an example.
What's more, Qin Dong's next movies require special effects.
So why bother to spend money to find outsiders? Let’s buy a special effects company by ourselves.
Money is made by the left hand and the right hand, which is convenient for accounting, which is more cost-effective.
...
Qin Dong spent two days editing [source code].
Tiangong spent five days to prepare the special effects.
The post-dubbing and subtitles are following up quickly in an orderly and well-organized manner.
This time, the post-production took time, mainly in dubbing.
The first few movies are all local movies, so why do you need these things?
Now, there are many versions of dubbing, Chinese, foreign languages, and other countries. It is very complicated and requires a lot of dubbing people, all of which are money.
Moreover, many voiceovers recruit people from foreign countries. Local people always feel that the tone is not right when speaking foreign languages.
When people are busy, they don’t care about other things.
Until a phone call comes in.
"Hey, Director Gao, what's the matter?"
"【Lost in Thailand】Premiere? Is it time?"
"Ah... I'm so busy that I'm so busy. It turns out that it's January 19th."
"Okay, okay, I will definitely attend tomorrow night."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Dong smiled suddenly as if he realized it.
I forgot the premiere of [Lost in Thailand], and the time has come, which means that this year has been completely completed, and the Chinese New Year will be celebrated in about ten days.
Chapter completed!
