After the press conference, Zhang Xiao led everyone to visit the major green screen studios of "Zhu Xian".

Compared with "Cross the Stars", "Zhu Xian" required more studios to be built, and the number of special effects shots increased by no less than three times. This is why the production cost of "Zhu Xian" was as high as 4 billion.

"Zhang Xiao, how many special effects teams did you use? Why does it seem to me that there are no less than a thousand people!" Liang Jiahui asked in surprise.

"Thousands of people?" Zhang Xiao shook his head, stretched out eight fingers, and said: "There are currently a total of eight thousand special effects personnel working on "Zhu Xian"."

"How much?" Liang Jiahui's eyes almost fell to the ground in shock, and the other actors were also extremely shocked.

A special effects team of 8,000 people, this is too scary!

Zhang Xiaodao: "The construction of the forty-two studios required 1,200 people, the purchase and casting of various props and weapons, a total of 730 people, and the other 7,000 people were divided into 35 teams.

, are doing special effects modeling in their respective studios.”

"Including water unicorns, three-eyed monkeys, Taotie, yellow birds, nine-tailed foxes and other mythical beasts, as well as magical cave wonderlands such as Qingyun Mountain, Dishui Cave, and Huqi Mountain."

"In another month, as the material we shoot continues to increase, the number of special effects personnel will also increase. I estimate that it will exceed 20,000 people at the peak."

"My goal is very clear, to complete all the special effects scenes quickly and well, and strive to have the first part of "Zhu Xian" meet the global audience in next summer."

Hearing Zhang Xiao's words, Chen Daoming couldn't help but take a breath and said: "You are so big? Why do I feel that four billion is not enough!"

Zhang Xiao said in a deep voice: "Four billion is not enough, then six billion. If six billion is not enough, then ten billion. Anyway, no matter what, I can't let "Zhu Xian" suffer the slightest injustice, even if I give up the money in the end.

It’s all a loss, and I admit it.”

Chen Daoming and Liang Jiahui looked at each other and saw the respect in each other's eyes.

Reba stuck out his tongue and said softly: "Ten billion? Oh my God, my brother-in-law is too cruel!"

Zhao Xiaoying said with a look of reverence: "Why Xiao Shen's movies always break box office records? It's because of this seriousness and persistence. This is the real filmmaker."

Zhang Xiao's words made all the actors feel excited.

The video of the launch conference of "Zhu Xian" was also posted online when Zhang Xiao and others visited the green screen.

It immediately attracted widespread attention from the industry and netizens.

"Xiao Shen is so graceful, Chen Gang should learn from it."

At the press conference of "Battle of Red Cliff", Chen Gang's uncle and nephew spared no effort to attack Xiao Shen, but Xiao Shen? But he hoped that "Battle of Red Cliff" would be successful. The pattern between the two was immediately clear,

The roots are not on a horizontal line."

"Talent, magnanimity, and mind, Chen Gang is a complete loser."

"Chen Gang is blind and sees only individuals, while Xiao Shen sees the entire domestic movie.":

"The cost of "The Battle of Red Cliff" was 1.5 billion. I thought it was quite a lot at first. But now after seeing the 4 billion cost of "Zhu Xian", I feel that the former is quite stingy."

"You better pay attention upstairs. Chen Gang has always been overjoyed with success. He likes to bluff and exaggerate the production costs every time. His words are very misleading, and the movie costs reported by Xiao Shen are all real. Most of the time, even

Both will underreport, and the gap between the two is definitely more than 2.5 billion."

"You're right."

"In a word, I support Xiao Shen and "Zhu Xian"."

“···”

During the heated discussion among netizens.

The crew of "Battle of Red Cliff".

After Chen Gang finished filming the night scene, he returned to the hotel room and checked the entertainment news. The headlines on the major entertainment websites were all about the news of Zhang Xiao's "Zhu Xian" being launched.

The key is the content inside. The whole article is full of praise for Zhang Xiao and ridicule of Chen Gang. The final conclusion is that Chen Gang is far inferior to Zhang Xiao in every aspect.

This made Chen Gang very angry, and his face was so gloomy that he almost shed tears.

"Old Chen, what's wrong with you?" Chen Gang's wife Sun Fan came out of the bathroom, saw Chen Gang's appearance, and asked.

Chen Gang threw his cell phone on the bed and cursed fiercely: "These unscrupulous media are all a bunch of bastards who follow the trend."

Sun Fan picked up his cell phone, looked at it, and said: "Old Chen, your task now is to film "Battle of Red Cliff". This is a crucial step for you to enter the international film industry. Everything else is best."

Don’t take it personally.”

Chen Gang nodded and said: "I know this is true, but when it comes to Zhang Xiao, I can't control myself. Although I don't want to admit it, I have to say that Zhang Xiao is indeed a genius in the film industry."

Sun Fan said: "He is him and you are you. When your relationship has reached this point, there is no room for relaxation."

Chen Gang said: "Thirty years to the east of the river and thirty years to the west of the river. Don't bully young people into poverty. This sentence is absolutely correct!"

At this moment, Chen Gang's cell phone ringtone suddenly rang.

"Hey, Xiao Wang, what's going on?"

"Director Chen, following your instructions, I contacted more than a dozen well-known special effects teams in the industry, but they all rejected our invitation because they had too much business and couldn't spare the time."

"Battle of the Red Cliffs" also has many places where special effects are used. Although Universal sent them a technically advanced Hollywood team, there were only less than fifty people, so they couldn't fully carry out the work, so they had to find a domestic special effects team.

Cooperate.

Yesterday, Chen Gang asked assistant director Xiao Wang to contact the domestic special effects team. He did not expect that such a situation would arise.

Chen Gang asked: "Have you checked? Are their reasons true or false?"

"This reason is true. I learned from one of my classmates that their special effects team signed a contract with Taishan Special Effects Company a month ago to do some of the special effects for "Zhu Xian"."

"Zhu Xian?" Chen Gang frowned and said, "All more than ten famous special effects production companies were hired by Zhang Xiao?"

Xiao Wang said: "Not only that, there are nearly ten thousand people doing special effects for "Zhu Xian" now, and they are still recruiting people. The conditions for dismissal are also very generous, so everyone wants to join."

Hearing this, Chen Gang couldn't help but take a breath and sighed: "This Zhang Xiao is really a big deal."

"Director Chen, what should we do now?"

Chen Gang thought for a while and said, "Let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Seeing Chen Gang hang up the phone, Sun Fan asked: "Old Chen, what does Zhang Xiao mean? Is he deliberately trying to attack our "Battle of Red Cliff"?"

Chen Gang shook his head and said: "With a special effects team of nearly ten thousand people, even if Zhang Xiao is crazy, there is no way he would spend so much money every day just to attack us."

Sun Fan asked again: "Then do you think the production cost of "Zhu Xian" can really reach 4 billion?"

Chen Gang said: "I didn't believe it before, but judging from the current situation, it is really possible."

As a director, Chen Gang is very aware of how expensive it is to do special effects.

Zhang Xiao hires thousands of people every day, and this cost alone costs at least 20 million every day.

If it takes three months to complete, it will cost 1.8 billion, which is more than the entire production cost of "Battle of Red Cliff".
Chapter completed!
