Stop it, boss, I’ve never seen a movie made like this.

Chapter 112 112. New movie "District [-]"

"What? They all refused?!"

"Are you kidding? Are you sure you expressed our sincerity? Huh? Paimon also went and refused?"

Kurt, the senior executive of US High School, was stunned after receiving a call from his assistant to report.

incredible.

His first reaction was that this Xia man wanted to raise the price. However, when he heard that the other party even rejected Paramount Pictures' conditions, he realized that this Xia man really didn't want to sell!

That's why I used such an excuse.

But why should he?Did he think he could film it in Xia Kingdom?Apart from Hollywood, which country in the world has this special effects industry?

Not only was he shocked, when the news came out, almost half of Hollywood was shocked!

No one expected such a result. The two major film companies came back empty-handed. What kind of magical operation was this?
I've heard before that this guy doesn't play by the rules at all, but now I've seen it.

And for those who are still working hard to climb up in Hollywood, they are envious.

"Brother, please don't give it to me. Brother, I need this opportunity!"

"Although I can't stand this guy, I have to admire his courage. He asked me to kneel down and call him daddy."

"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Who doesn't want to fly into the sky?"

"Hey, maybe their ambitions are bigger than ours!"

"I can't change my face in the face of such temptation, I'm not as good as him!"

"."

Les and Andrew have been silently paying attention to this matter, and after learning about it, they went crazy!

Even if they are now great directors, they have never been treated so favorably by people from the eight major Hollywood film studios. They all have to rush for this opportunity.

But I didn't expect that the Xia people really rejected them all? !

Does this person know what he is doing?Are you afraid that you are stupid?

"Even with the support of the eight major film studios, it would take at least half a year to film Inception. The Martian or Interstellar would take less than two years to complete from perfecting the script to preparation."

"He has now rejected Hollywood's invitation. Haha, it's okay, you still have a chance of winning." Andrew comforted.

Les had already become panicked and didn't even notice that Andrew's words had changed from 'we' to 'you'!
"But what if the one he wants to make is better than those three?".

Because what is at stake this time is his future. If he loses, he will quit the film industry.

"Probably not. You have to be clear. If he wants special effects, he will definitely not be able to do it in time. This is also his shortcoming, so you don't have to worry! As for soft science fiction, hehe, soft science fiction can't beat Jerrock's new work!"

Les could only comfort himself in this way.

After getting ready, we started preparing for the filming of "The Fog".

On the other side, after the script leak occurred, the "security" around Chen Li was directly upgraded to a higher level.

They had evacuated from the hotel and returned to Allen's previous studio in Hollywood. After the renovation some time ago, the place had a completely new look.

Allen also prepared a new laptop for Chen Li, which was only used for typing and was not intended to be used for networking.

Because hackers have invaded film companies and stolen information more than once in Hollywood, Allen was seriously prepared just in case.

And in the room where he lives, there are people guarding him to prevent any piece of paper from leaking out like before.

These operations also made Chen Li dumbfounded, but he also felt that it was necessary. After all, once the real script was leaked, it would be a huge blow to the movie.The next day, Chen Li finished writing the script, arranged for Allen to print it, and then called everyone for a meeting in the studio.

When he got the script printed by Allen, he was stunned. The paper was actually red?

Allen was a little proud: "Boss, this is special paper. It cannot be photographed or copied. This will also prevent those reporters from taking sneak shots!"

This move was unanimously recognized by everyone present except Chen Li.

Because when he saw this red paper, he felt like his eyes were going blind. It was so tiring to read, it was anti-human.

But since the actors filming had no objections, of course I wouldn't say anything.

After everyone got the script, they read it excitedly as soon as possible.

In their minds, the director didn't even shoot those three masterpieces, so what would he choose to shoot?
I saw three big words written in bold black font on the red paper:

"ninth District"

Everyone was a little confused and kept reading silently. As they read the script in depth, everyone could not help but breathe heavier.

Everyone looked at each other with excitement in their eyes.

There is no doubt that this is another excellent work, not much worse than those three.

But then everyone had more questions in their minds: "There are a lot of special effects, right? How to do it?"

Chen Li snapped his fingers, and Allen straightened his back and stood up: "According to Director Chen's request, I have recruited talents from Hollywood special effects companies some time ago. No, it should be said to be a rescue."

"The impact of the Hollywood strike some time ago has caused many special effects companies to face economic pressure and start laying off employees. According to my survey, the five top special effects companies have laid off nearly 1000 people in total, and there are many talents among them."

"So according to the boss's request, I recruited them at a low price and prepared to set up a special effects department!"

"And this movie is also a test of the waters!"

Only Allen was doing this privately, so no one knew.

When they heard that the boss was coming to Hollywood, they started making arrangements, which made everyone gasp!
How far-sighted is this? !

This makes people couldn't help but wonder if Chen Li came to Hollywood this time with some conspiracy and to poach someone?

And stepping on Les was just a matter of convenience?

"You must be thinking, since we have to do special effects, why not do those three scripts? In fact, "District [-]" is very complicated and has many special effects, but in fact, most of them were shot indoors. Just use motion capture for prawns.”

"The outdoor clips are more in the form of pseudo-documentary, which will increase the graininess of the picture processing and create a rough effect, which does not require too detailed special effects. The climax clip uses real shots and CG, and the total is only a few A shot.”

"Overall, it's much simpler than doing space scenes, city transformations and other special effects. This is just a good way to get the special effects team running. Once it's done, it won't be too strenuous to do special effects in the future!"

This is why Chen Li has always wanted to get rid of Hollywood. If he used a Hollywood special effects company, it would cost hundreds of thousands per second. Chen Li was really heartbroken.

In the previous life, whether it was a special effects blockbuster such as "Transformers" or "Spider-Man", the production cost was [-] to [-] million yuan, and the special effects cost always accounted for half.

If you have your own special effects department, you can definitely save a lot of money.

"But boss, even if there are not many special effects, the shooting time is not enough, right?" Wang Anrou raised her hand.

Chen Li smiled and said: "Don't worry, as long as you follow my rhythm, you can definitely complete it!!"

Chen Li was very confident.

Generally, the long film production cycle is caused by too many things that need to be prepared, coupled with the uncertainty of shooting and the experimentation of post-editing.

But these are not problems at all for Chen Li! !
