"Lao Guo, Brother Jin, come on, let's go together to celebrate our victory in "The Wandering Planet"."

"Done!"

The three of them picked up their wine glasses and drank together.

After Wu Jin finished his drink, he asked: "Did the filming of "Operation Red Sea" go smoothly?"

"It's so smooth!" Zhang Xiao said angrily: "This movie is the most difficult movie I have ever made. The battle scenes are much bigger than our Wolf Warrior 2. From beginning to end, it is just one word, hit

!”

Wu Jin said angrily: "You just stand and talk without hurting your back. I really want to act, but it's a pity that people don't like me!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Zhang Xiao rolled his eyes and said, "Lao Guo, let's set a time and let's hold a grand celebration banquet in Yuzhou."

"How about this Saturday?" Guo Fan said quickly.

Zhang Xiao nodded and said, "No problem!"

Guo Fan said with a smile: "Okay, then I will inform everyone immediately."

After Wu Jin took a bite of the food, he said, "Let's agree first that Lao Guo and I won't care about the red envelopes."

Zhang Xiao immediately became happy and said: "Brother Jin, when did you become so stingy? Where is the Wu Jin who used to make movies even if he lost his entire family?"

Wu Jin shrugged and said, "Whatever you say, we won't pay the money anyway, let alone take it from the box office. You can give it as much as you like."

Zhang Xiao was speechless for a while, and said: "You are so thick-skinned, I am convinced by you, okay, I can use the money to travel by myself!"

"Hahaha, that's what I've been waiting for!" Wu Jin laughed.

···

Three days later, Zhang Xiao hosted a grand celebration party for "The Wandering Planet" in a five-star hotel in Yuzhou.

Celebrities from all walks of life came to congratulate Zhang Xiao, regardless of whether they had received invitations or not.

That night, Zhang Xiao gave out about 40 million yuan just by handing out red envelopes.

Half a month later, "The Wandering Planet" was released. The global box office reached a terrifying US$2.625 billion, ranking third in the global box office rankings, and achieving great success.

As the biggest investor in the movie, Zhang Xiao was able to get a share of US$680 million from the box office, and the net profit reached a terrifying US$500 million. It can be said that he made a lot of money.

The success of "The Wandering Planet" also made Zhang Xiao more confident in the "Interstellar" he was planning to shoot.

After the celebration banquet, Zhang Xiao found Liu Haiquan and formed a special effects company named Taishan.

Zhang Xiao invested US$500 million and served as the company's president, holding 95% of the shares. Liu Haiquan served as the technical director, holding 5% of the shares.

In order to attract special effects talents to join, Zhang Xiao also gave 10% of his shares as bonuses for company employees.

In less than ten days, nearly 10,000 special effects professionals came to participate in film reviews alone.

Liu Haiquan selected 2,000 people from nearly 10,000 people to join Taishan Special Effects Company.

After getting the technical staff, Zhang Xiao took Liu Haiquan and dozens of technical backbones to Hollywood without stopping, spending a total of 350 million US dollars to purchase various special effects equipment, and let these technical backbones work in the famous

I studied in the Vita Special Effects Studio for more than half a month before returning to China.

At this point, the framework of Taishan Special Effects Company has been set up.

Zhang Xiao convened a meeting with all the technical staff of Taishan Special Effects Company to review and established the first rule, which was not to accept special effects worth 50 cents.

No matter how much money he makes, he refuses to accept it. This is not because of friendship between Zhang and Xiao, but because his positioning of Taishan Special Effects Company is to take a high-end route.

What's more, compared with high-end special effects movies, the price of a 50-cent special effects movie made in the same time is at least ten times different.

In terms of benefits and profits, the former is definitely far inferior to the latter, so it is better to specialize in high-end special effects.

On the second day after Taishan Special Effects Company was established, Zhang Xiao received a call from Lin Chao, the director of "Operation Red Sea".

"Zhang Xiao, I heard that you opened a special effects company. I wonder if you dare to take on the special effects production of "Operation Red Sea"?"

"I don't dare to take on any special effects except the special effects that cost fifty cents." Zhang Xiao said with a smile: "But, Director Lin, didn't you cooperate with a special effects company in Hollywood? Why did you suddenly find me?

"

"Ahem, don't mention it!" Lin Chao said with a depressed look: "These crooked people are so shady that they actually increased the cost to 80 million US dollars. I was so angry that I almost sprayed them in the face with a mouthful of salt soda."

"I'll go, this is really cruel!" Zhang Xiao also didn't expect that the cost of special effects would be so high, so he said: "Okay, I'll take people there right away. If there's no problem, we will pick up "Operation Red Sea"

The first big job."

Originally, Zhang Xiao was planning to make a name for Taishan Special Effects Company through his own film "Interstellar", but now that "Operation Red Sea" is available, it is a very good choice.

After all, he is the leading actor in this movie, so he is very confident in the quality of the movie "Operation Red Sea".

Liu Haiquan took Liu Haiquan and more than a dozen technical backbones to director Lin Chao. After viewing the filmed materials, Liu Haiquan estimated a price at Lin Chao's request, which was 280 million soft girl coins.

Upon hearing this number, Director Lin Chao frowned and said, "Can't it be lower?"

Liu Haiquan explained: "Director Lin, your picture requirements have reached the level of Hollywood's top special effects. This price is already the lowest. I dare say that even if you travel all over the world, you will not be able to find another company that can compare with ours."

It’s still cheap, unless you lower your requirements.”

"It's definitely not possible to lower the requirements!" Lin Chao said firmly: "We can lower anything, but we can't lower the quality of the movie."

After speaking, he looked at Zhang Xiao and said, "Zhang Xiao, you are also an investor in "Operation Red Sea". What do you say?"

Zhang Xiao smiled bitterly and said: "Director Lin, please don't ask me. I have a blind eye on technical issues. You can't let me work at a loss, right?"

"In this way, you can discuss with those investors and pay half of the deposit first, and the other half will be paid after the movie is released."

When Lin Chao heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "If that's possible, that would be great. Just wait for me and I'll make a call."

···

Fifteen minutes later, Lin Chao came back and said: "Everyone agreed, 280 million, your Taishan Special Effects Company will produce all the special effects of "Operation Red Sea"."

"After signing the contract, the crew will first pay a deposit of 140 million. By the way, I hope this movie can be released before the Spring Festival. Can the special effects be completed?"

Liu Haiquan thought for a while and said: "Yes, I can find some special effects studios to help and try to finish it in three months."
Chapter completed!
