Chapter 232: Blasting the Door to Domestic Science Fiction
When it came to business, Xu Jian's eyes suddenly became calm.
Although it is indeed good to cooperate with Honghuang, their interests must be guaranteed, otherwise no matter how much you say, it will be useless.
And in his opinion.
The simplest and most practical way is to release the two works together.
By using mutual hype to raise the popularity, game players and moviegoers switch back and forth, forming a virtuous circle.
If it is operated well, there is a chance that the sum of one plus one will be greater than two.
However.
What he didn't expect was.
Chen Lin did not answer immediately, but took out a printed document from his briefcase and handed it to him.
"This is?"
Xu Jian looked at the document in confusion.
"We have written a sequel to your film based on the script, and we can also provide special effects support."
"But we have already negotiated with the special effects partner, and the production is already coming to an end and is ready to be submitted for review."
"It's okay, just make a second part. This copy is an extension of the plot based on your first part."
"Are you sure!?"
Xu Jian opened his mouth slightly, looking extremely surprised.
Their movie is adapted from a novel, so the plot is not difficult to find out.
But directly writing a follow-up plot copy is a bit too outrageous.
This is not cooperative promotion.
It's obvious that they are preparing to make a new movie with them!
Is Hong Huang crazy?
Shocked, he quickly picked up the documents on the table and started reading them, page by page.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, he uttered a light exclamation and gradually immersed himself in the copy.
The originally questioning look changed over time and finally turned into a look of deep shock.
"This...is this the script you wrote?"
Xu Jian looked up suddenly, in disbelief and even a little excited.
It is indeed as Chen Lin said, the plot described in this copy is exactly the story that connects their film worldview.
And it's not a sequel, but a prequel!
The exquisite design and grand scene are simply unheard of.
“Yes, I also like the book ‘The Wandering Earth’, but it’s a pity that you got the copyright first.” Chen Lin said in a joking tone.
"But this is a bit too bold. A space elevator, according to the description above, this kind of scene is not easy to create." Xu Jian frowned.
"Don't worry about the big scene special effects, Honghuang will take care of it. You just need to arrange people to shoot the plot."
"If that's the case, then we have to change our release plan."
Xu Jian took a deep breath.
He still has great confidence in Honghuang's technical capabilities in special effects.
After all, the horror quality of "Red Dead Redemption" is there, which is much more useful than any special effects sign.
The most important thing is that he really liked this script, it was even more amazing than theirs.
When the two movies are released, coupled with the boost from the Honghuang game, it will definitely cause a huge response.
Although time is a bit tight, but saving the time on writing the script and selecting actors, and with the two companies working together to produce it, it should be possible to finish the film in time.
"Okay! I've decided to release this movie that we're about to finish as its prequel!"
After thinking for a long time, Xu Jian finally slammed the table.
Originally, they planned to release this first film during the rocket launch period, to take advantage of the popularity and also to show support for the country.
But now, after seeing the second script, he immediately changed his mind and moved up the release date of the first part and released it as a trailer!
Even Chen Lin was moved by this courage.
No wonder Tianhe Pictures has become one of the top film and television companies in the country.
"In that case, let's discuss the details of the cooperation."
"With pleasure."
After that, the two began to discuss.
With the support of the system, Chen Lin naturally would not worry about not being able to make it in time, but he just couldn't reveal too much to arouse suspicion.
Therefore, he mainly provides special effects for large scenes to reduce production time as much as possible.
As for the actors, just use the ones from the first film.
This is what Tianhe should be concerned about.
…
Until the afternoon.
The two men's discussion ended successfully.
The tightly closed door of the reception room opened, and Xu Jian walked out with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Chen, please forgive me for the poor hospitality."
"No, it's me who is bothering you. Let's stop here for today. Mr. Xu, please stay."
"Okay, feel free to contact me if you need anything in the future."
The two of them have been in high positions for a long time, and they are full of polite words.
But the smile on his face was real, after all, he had negotiated a big project.
"That's right."
Before leaving, Chen Lin suddenly thought of something and said, "I want to ask, have you recently cooperated with a company called 'Yicai Vision'?"
"Special vision?" Xu Jian looked at the secretary beside him.
The secretary came over and whispered something in his ear, and then he suddenly realized.
"Indeed, we have some basic special effects outsourcing services. Why did Mr. Chen suddenly ask this?"
"Nothing, that company was opened by a few of my friends. If possible, I would like to trouble Mr. Xu to give it some support."
"I see. I thought it was a big deal. Just leave it to me."
Xu Jian suddenly realized and gave his secretary a look.
The secretary understood what was happening and immediately left to make a phone call nearby.
Xu Jian continued to see Chen Lin off and left with him in the elevator.
…
The other side.
A corner of the office area.
Wang Yuan, Yang Long and others were sitting in their seats nervously, looking at the Tianhe executive who had just stood up and went to the side to answer the phone.
"Yang Long, do you think we can discuss this project?" Wang Yuan couldn't help but ask in a low voice.
"I don't know." Yang Long shook his head. "I just got the recommendation because I have some connections with the employees here. Whether it will succeed depends on luck."
"But if it doesn't work out, our funds won't last long."
"Yeah, we haven't made a living for almost two months. If this continues, we won't be able to pay the rent for the studio."
As they talked, worry appeared in the eyes of several people.
Although they said it easily on the way here, only they themselves know how difficult it is to succeed in starting a business.
Rent, water, electricity, internet, equipment... everything costs money, and they are the cheapest manpower because they are all partners and don't even have to pay salaries.
If we can't come up with a deal, I'm afraid we'll have to break up.
"Okay, okay, I understand."
At this time, the Tianhe executive had just finished a phone call and returned to his seat.
Upon seeing this, several people immediately fell silent and their nerves became tense.
However, what they didn't expect was.
The man who originally had a stern face suddenly put on a smiling face, took away the project document in front of them and replaced it with a new one.
"Sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. After discussion, we have decided to change you to a more suitable project. You can take a look at the project content first."
Change project?
Wang Yuan and his friends looked at each other in bewilderment; this was the first time they had encountered such a thing.
Could it be that they are not satisfied with them and are planning to use unfair terms to persuade them to quit?
Puzzled, he immediately picked up the document and started checking it on the spot.
Next second.
Their eyes suddenly widened.
“This…is this a project for us!?”
Yang Long looked up in disbelief.
When others saw the contents of the document, they also uttered low cries and almost thought they were seeing things.
Because the content of this project is so generous!
It was so generous that they even suspected that Tianhe was playing tricks on them.
Nothing else to say.
The reward of five million alone made them swallow their saliva.
After carefully reading the content, I found that the production difficulty is much lower than the first one. It is basically a free project!
"How about it, can this project be done? If not, I will replace it for you."
"Yes! Of course!"
"Leave it to us, and it will definitely be done smoothly!"
None of them had ever fought such a lucrative battle before, and they nodded faster than a sewing machine, fearing that the other party would go back on their word.
"Well, since there is no problem, let's sign the contract. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask."
The Tianhe executive politely took out the contract and placed it on the table.
The difference in attitude before and after is so great that it's like he's become a completely different person.
But they were in great joy and didn't pay attention to these things. They passed the contract around and signed it directly after confirming that there was no problem.
Then they looked at each other excitedly, trying hard to suppress the joy in their hearts.
With this project, their company can finally get started!
"Let's go celebrate tonight!"
"It's a must. How can we not celebrate such a big project?"
"It's a pity that Chen Lin is not here. I just forgot to leave his phone number."
After leaving Tianhe Pictures, Wang Yuan finally realized that he did not leave Chen Lin's contact information, and he couldn't help feeling a little regretful.
Such a happy event, of course I want to share it with more people.
Several people nearby picked up their phones and looked at them, but there was no Chen Lin's number, so they had no choice but to give up.
"Look, Tianhe Pictures has released a new announcement!"
Suddenly, a scream was heard.
One of them opened Weibo and happened to see the announcement from Tianhe Pictures, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
[Tianhe Pictures: We are honored to inform you that Tianhe Pictures has reached a cooperation with @Honghuang Studio. The "The Wandering Earth" series of movies will be linked with the "Outpost" game, responding to the national call and jointly raising the banner of science fiction! ]
This piece of news appeared extremely abruptly.
A well-known domestic film and television company and a rapidly rising game studio actually reached a cooperation?
In an instant, the entire Internet was in an uproar.
"This is the first time I've seen a gaming company and a film company collaborate."
"When did Hong Huang get involved with Tian He?"
“I remember The Wandering Earth started filming last year, right?”
"It turns out that it was prepared for this science fiction theme."
"Wuhu, now we have something interesting to watch."
The influence of Honghuang and Tianhe in China is huge.
As the saying goes, the layman watches the excitement, while the expert watches the details.
Many game manufacturers and film and television companies that participated in the Ministry of Aerospace's investment promotion had a bad feeling when they saw this news.
Immediately hold an emergency meeting to discuss countermeasures.
The final conclusion is that they do the same!
Especially those film and television companies, they are well aware that the rise of the gaming industry is unstoppable, and they immediately sent people to look for partners after the meeting.
The science fiction companies whose games have been the most discussed recently have naturally become their primary targets.
The entire gaming and film and television industries are in a state of panic, and are all working hard to seize market share this year.
In this tense atmosphere.
The movie "The Wandering Earth 1" will be released soon.
The grand scenes, excellent special effects, and novel settings once again triggered a wave of science fiction.
At the same time, another big news came from Tianhe Pictures.
"The Wandering Earth 2" is already being filmed at a rapid pace, and the special effects are produced by Honghuang. It will be released on the day the rocket is launched!
"Special effects made by Honghuang?"
“Then I’ll be looking forward to it.”
In the live broadcast room, Ouyang Xiao said in surprise.
She has watched "The Wandering Earth 1" and found the special effects scenes to be really good, especially when detonating Jupiter to free the Earth from its gravity, which was not much worse than the international level.
But she had to admit that this alone might not be enough to open the door to science fiction in China, and at most it could only spark a temporary craze.
So she hopes that Honghuang can bring something different, or even something more explosive, to everyone.
It would be best if we could blow open the door to science fiction at once and let those guys overseas know that their technological level is far superior to before!
"The film and television industry has been suppressed by foreign countries for so long, it's time for it to rise up. I hope there will be some changes this time."
Ouyang Xiao sighed and didn't dare to hold too much hope.
We can only do our part to support movies and games.
As for whether it can succeed, it depends on whether those companies work hard enough.
If we continue to feed S and make money like before, no matter how much they support us, it will be in vain.
Ring, ring, ring——
Just as I was thinking about it, the phone rang and Su Peng called.
"Ouyang Xiao, Honghuang has just requested a few test promotion spots. Please prepare and use VR equipment to test the new game for them."
Testing a new game?
Use VR equipment?
Ouyang Xiao's heart was shocked and he suddenly became excited.
