Film and television base? Where is this? They just came to do action effects. What are you doing?

But I don't want to. Qi Lei has ignored them and gone to do something else.

A phone calls out, "where is it?"

Manager Peiwen almost exploded in situ. Can you control it?

However, he still suppressed his anger. "It's Mr. Qi. Why? What's the matter with me?"

Qi Lei, "stop talking nonsense! Where is it?"

Manager Wen really blew up. He yelled at domestic slaves like you, didn't he?

Gnashing his teeth, "what you did, Britain is in chaos! I'm still in America."

Qi Leixin, you this?

"Don't be cheap and sell well."

"You!"

Qi Lei, "the day after tomorrow, wait in Sanya. If something good comes to you, don't regret it if you don't come!"

Manager Wen: "

I almost yelled at the busy phone.

I'll go to your uncle! I won't go!! Why should I listen to you!?

But after thinking for a long time, forget it! What do I have to do with a bear boy?

"Jaquil, book me a ticket to Hainan, China."

Manager Wen still counselled.

No way, Desheng Gaohua! Desheng Gaohua! Desheng Gaohua!

He must get Desheng Gaohua back.

Two days later, manager Wen boarded the luxury yacht rented by Qi Lei in Sanya.

At first, manager Wen was a little flustered. Where did he take me?

But I was relieved to see several people on the same ship.

China's four martial arts fingers gathered together, and they didn't come by themselves. They came with the team and equipment.

Who is there?

Yuan Heping, who has just directed the matrix and is a little famous in Hollywood.

Liu Jialiang, who has directed 36 rooms in Shaolin and Ma Yongzhen, and also has cooperation experience in Hollywood..

Hong Jinbao, one of the seven little blessings.

The last bigger brand is the representative sent by the starting class.

Among them, Yuan Heping and Liu Jialiang have signed a cooperation agreement with Zhongchuan action special effects company, which can be regarded as their own people.

While Hong Jinbao and his family class, Qi Lei had the cheek to ask for help.

Fortunately, these two aspects are easy to talk about.

Besides, Qi Lei, the big boss, is a guy who keeps stirring up the film industry in Hong Kong and the mainland. He needs to give face more or less.

The yacht took everyone to Yongxing island.

Qi Lei first put manager Wen aside and said something that kept manager Wen awake for half a night and didn't figure it out.

"My people, step aside first!"

He entertained the four Wuzhi first and said straight to the point, "there's an urgent job!"

Yuan Heping and Hong Jinbao know that it's a Chinese action special effect to take over a Hollywood film, and they have known Qi Lei before.

When the film industry seminar was held, they were representatives of Hong Kong and probably knew the behavior style of the young rich.

And this opportunity, in fact, is not a help, but Qi Lei helped them. Who doesn't want the Wu Zhi resume produced by Hollywood?

Yuan Heping said bluntly, "Mr. Qi, just say what to do? I've brought both people and equipment."

Qi Lei briefly introduced the situation, "the film is Pirates of the Caribbean."

"The investor is Disney, about more than 200 million dollars."

"Pirate play, I want you to design a model. The day after tomorrow, people will arrive."

"For one purpose, Disney people must be restrained!"

Hiss!!

Everyone took a breath, two big productions of more than 100 million?

I thought it was a big production before, but I only dared to think about the level of matrix. Unexpectedly, it exceeded my expectations.

But

At this time, Liu Jialiang thought, "there must be no problem designing a rehearsal!"

"Although it's a little urgent the day after tomorrow, if we can't do it, we'll do it in vain."

"It's just..."

But Hong Jinbao said, "it's just that we're not familiar with pirate drama. Besides, it's very risky."

Qi Lei frowned, "what do you say?"

Hong Jinbao said, "there must be no problem with the rehearsal. The problem is that we don't know their script! We don't even know their style."

"If what you play is too different from others' script style, it will not be a good thing, but a bad thing. So it's very risky."

But he didn't want to. Qi Lei almost laughed.

The heart said, you said that this matter was made, I know! I know more than the director.

Quietly, "well, I can guess."

Several people looked at each other. Can you guess?

"So!"

Qi Lei pondered for a moment, then described a scene to the public and asked them to design the fight scene according to this setting.

After arranging the crowd, Qi Lei was free to talk to manager Wen.

"Don't talk! Listen, look, it's good for you."

Manager Wen: "

Almost ran wild.

……

——————

Jerry, the producer of Pirates of the Caribbean 1, came to China to discuss action effects Bruckheimer, and a head of Disney's company.

When they got off the plane, they were taken to Sanya by the Chinese legend, and then took a boat to Yongxing island.

There is no dissatisfaction, but there is a novelty of prying into the mystery.

Because the entourage of Zhongchuan told them, "our destination is the most mysterious sea area in China. No foreigners have ever set foot on it. It is a place that only Chinese can go."

It's so noisy that it's hard to refuse.

When they arrived at Yongxing island and saw Qi Lei, they couldn't laugh or cry.

Qi Lei is now famous overseas.

If arm failed to acquire, there was a big celebration party between arm and JS, which stirred up the anger of the British people and was about to take to the streets.

"Qi, nice to meet you!"

Jerry Bruckheimer doesn't care about this. He just wants to solve the problem of action effects as soon as possible and don't delay the shooting process.

You know, the Caribbean can be said to be Disney's largest investment in recent years, and all levels attach great importance to it.

Quickly cut to the point, "Qi, this film is a big production, in which two-thirds of the lens needs professional action design."

"In this regard, even Hollywood has to admit that when it comes to action, the most professional is of course China."

"Therefore, Disney is very willing to reach this cooperation with you."

"It's just... What we need is the lens language rich in western action and sense of the times in the middle ages. I don't know if you can be competent."

In this regard, Qi Lei smiled calmly, "Mr. Heimer, we don't need to repeat our action design ability. There have been many films in Hollywood to prove this."

Heimer nodded. "Yes, it is because of this that we seek cooperation."

"To be honest, I personally like the action design of the matrix, especially the bullet time. It's so cool."

Qi Lei, "well, just before you came, we invited several action guides and designed a simple action with imagination."

"It happened to be a rehearsal with a sense of Western movement according to your requirements. Would you like to see it first and then talk about it?"

"Oh?" Heimer glanced at another foreigner. "Of course it's good."

Next, it's time for several major action guidance to show the results.

This action rehearsal is a scene of group fighting on board.

The two sides are the battle between Captain Jack and the normal people led by Turner, as well as the curse skeleton on the black pearl.

The scene Qi Lei is not 100% restored, but just close to the script.

How to put it?

As soon as he came up, he surprised Heimer.

On the action drama, the Chinese action aesthetics is impeccable, whether it is the overall lens structure with large depth of field. Or the action details of the main camera, the Hollywood fighting concept of you punching me with one foot, in front of which is my brother.

Especially yuan Heping, Liu Jialiang and Hong Jinbao, as well as the cooperation of starting a family class.

The characteristic of Yuan Heping is that it has great aesthetic feeling.

Liu Jialiang and Hong Jinbao are characterized by a sense of fighting.

As for the family class, the comic action processing is very close to Captain Jack's character setting.

It's silly to look at Heimer.

You should know that the action actors on the stage hang Weiya at the scene. The fighting scene of 20 or 30 people does not need to be divided into scenes. It is done at one go from beginning to end.

Moreover, it's incredible that so many people cooperate and go straight down without even a pause or mistake.

To his surprise, the action design of the skeleton crew in the rehearsal was absolutely amazing.

Although some can't be shown, they need special effects in the later stage, which can only be explained by Qi Lei.

However, these action ideas about the skeleton crew can definitely amaze the audience after the release.

For example, there is a shot of a skeleton crew avoiding Captain Jack's stab.

Taking full account of the setting of the skeleton crew, Wu Zhi made a strange 90 degree bend directly from the waist.

If you make special effects, the visual impact is absolutely max.

What's more, after bending down, the skeleton crew remembered that he didn't have to hide at all. He came straight back and stuck Jack's Knight Sword in his ribs.

Another example is Wu Zhi's design. Turner trapped the skeleton crew with a sail rope, and the rope got stuck in his ribs.

Under normal circumstances, the audience must think that the bone and rope are mixed together and can't be untied.

However, the skeleton crew directly tore down the ribs, took away the rope and put it back.

"Wonderful!"

Heimer has been completely convinced. What he is thinking now is, why not bring the director here? He will like this kind of action design. That's what the Caribbean wants.

"Qi!" Heimer couldn't hide his excitement, although he knew that such a performance was not conducive to the negotiation, and the other party would ask exorbitant prices.

However, he is willing to pay more for such a good action design.

Of course, the premise is not to exceed the affordability of the budget.

Yuan Heping, they did it and put the foreigner under control at once.

But Heimer didn't know that the person in charge of Disney who accompanied him had another idea at this time.

He was also shocked by the Chinese people's imagination and aesthetic feeling of action, but his concern was not the film itself, but another problem.

What kind of action rehearsal is this? The continuity is amazing. It's a complete performance. Plus music, you can put it in Disneyland and perform on the big stage.

Well, this man is kodiaz, the director of Disney project operation.

The IP of Pirates of the Caribbean is not just a movie in the eyes of Disney executives.

The film is just the beginning. Once the film is successful, Disney will immediately launch the pirate main park and surrounding products.

Disney wants to build the Caribbean into a full range of entertainment IP, so kodiaz considers much more questions than Heimer.

He was thinking that if the film is successful, if it can completely reproduce the wonderful scenes in the film in the theme park, especially the action part, it must be a huge selling point.

So, whether it's expensive or not, cordiz has not considered it.

In his opinion, we must cooperate with the Chinese people, and the follow-up clauses must be added to the action effects contract!

At this time, Cordia gave Heimer a wink, meaning that he must win the contract, even if it costs more money.

Heimer also understood his hint. With the tacit approval of the company, he would have more confidence.

"Qi! I want to know, is it possible for us to cooperate? How many meters do we have to pay for these action designs?"

Did Qi Lei talk about the price directly?

"Well..."

Instead, he began to ponder.

"It's too early to say this now?"

"We haven't seen the script yet, and we don't know how many action scenes need to be conceived."

"Moreover, we have different quotations for different quality requirements."

Heimer, what are you talking about? Of course we want the best! Why is it different in quality?

"What's going on?"

Qi Lei, "Oh, you don't know the Chinese action production process."

"In general, that is, ordinary films, after we get the script and the director's advice, we conduct action design and rehearsal in a professional venue," he explained

"In this case, you only need to pay the design fee, the cost of martial arts actors, and a little site use fee."

"It's not expensive, it's very cheap."

Heimer listens attentively, but the professional is different. Ha, this kind of ordinary can't be achieved in Hollywood!

I was curious, "what about the unusual one?"

Qi Lei grinned, "that's troublesome! We will provide a full range of motion tracking services."

Heimer and kodiaz wondered, "all-round?"

Qi Lei said, "yes! It includes the training of actors. Most of your actors have no experience in action performance? Some of them can't use martial scenes, so they always have to go to battle in person. But just now you saw that many actions of actors without professional training can't meet the requirements."

"In order to pursue the ultimate performance, it is necessary to train the actors in advance."

Heimer nodded, so it was really necessary.

Qi Lei, "also, in order to truly restore the scenes of the film, we also want to reproduce your scenes on the American set one by one."

"Including green screen studios and real scenes, so as to restore the true situation of the set 100% in the process of rehearsal."

"This..." Heimer and kodiaz were a little surprised.

Is this a bit too wasteful? If you do that, you have to build a medieval castle? streetscape?

All kinds of pirate ships have to be built? Isn't that equal to multiplying all props and studios in the Caribbean by 2?

You know, the Caribbean has to invest tens of millions of meters in props and real scenes, multiplied by 2? Disney can't afford it anyway.

They were a little depressed at the time. However, I'm also curious. How much do you have to spend so much trouble?

Heimer asked, "if you want to reproduce many medieval blocks, even castles, but also pirate ships, plus actor training, Qi, how much do you estimate the cost?"

Qi Lei was stunned, frowned and practiced hard, "how big a medieval block do you need?"

Heimer thought, "it takes at least thousands of square meters to meet the shooting requirements."

Added, "there must be walls and docks!"

Qi Lei, "that's a lot of money, isn't it?"

Heimer, "how much?"

Qi Lei pondered for a moment, "eight... Million?"

As soon as Heimer listens, it's over. 80 million, one third

He looked up fiercely, "eight million?"

"Or... Eight million?"

Qi Lei glanced, "of course it's eight million! Eighty million, I can really build a city for you!"

“……”

“……”

Heimer and kodiaz are stupid. Only, only eight million?

Qi Lei explained, "you don't understand. The cost is much lower than that in the United States."

They were speechless. Of course they knew it was much lower, but they didn't think it was so much lower, did they?

Qi Lei continued, "according to your requirements, the cost of temporary setting and other actor training is 8 million RMB, which is enough."

"What!?"

Heimer jumped up directly, "RMB?"

He thought it was rice yuan?

Qi Lei's face was dull. "Yes! It's only eight million yuan?"

“……”

“……”

They're going crazy. Is it a little too cheap!?

Heimer suddenly realized a question and asked tentatively, "Qi, how much does it cost to build a 1000 square meter Green Screen Studio in China?"

Qi Lei didn't know what he was doing when he asked, "wait, I'll ask you!"

As he spoke, he called out Hong Jinbao, "Uncle Hong, you have experience. Please talk about it!"

Hong Jinbao, "how much can it cost? In Hong Kong, millions can be done, and the mainland is cheaper!"

Heimer, "..."

Suddenly he looked at kodiaz, and the thought in his eyes was understood at a glance.

Let's put the shooting place in China!

Cordia said to her heart, it's easy. I don't need to persuade you any more.

Let China go!

What is this concept?

The budget for props, green screen sheds and exterior scenes in the Caribbean is 50 million yuan.

In China, with the action service rated by Qi Lei, only 8 million sets were copied one by one.

Add a green screen studio to support 10 million, and it's still RMB!

How much do you save?

On the way here, they all saw that Hainan, where they are located, can fully meet the shooting requirements.

In fact, they have settled in their hearts, but they are not stupid enough to show it immediately.

Just in time, these days, Qi Lei read the script and calculated the specific action cost. They can observe and think about it again.

And Qi Lei had no idea what the two were up to.

We can't neglect our guests these days, can we? Let the yacht take Heimer and kodiaz around.

For example, the surrounding islands suitable for shooting! The dark blue eyes of Yongle island!

The more they look, the more excited they are. Here they are! God doesn't change when he comes!

No way, he's too cheap.

I can't stand it.
