Chapter 443 "The Legend of Swordsman" Crew

Just when the filming of "Langya Bang" was in full swing, Hengdian Film and Television City welcomed a large number of crew members. The director was Tian Junhao, the son of Tian Jishang, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Culture.

To the outside world, Tian Junhao is just a rookie director, and he is not famous at all, but his identity is well-known in the circle.

After all, his father was the deputy minister in charge of the entertainment industry, with a high position of authority. Which entertainment company in the circle didn't want to have a good relationship with his prince.

Therefore, his launch conference was very grand, and many senior executives of entertainment companies were there.

The TV series that Tian Junhao is going to shoot is "The Legend of Swordsman", known as China's first Xianxia TV series, with an investment of at least one billion yuan.

The cast is incomparably strong, including Jiang Yaokun, the star of the popular "Swordsman", the new first-line actress Xu Qianqian, the actor Wu Jun, the actress Miao Xiaoyun, the three-star star Zhao Chuan, the famous singer Xia Chengfeng, Xue Qirun, the little prince in ancient costume, and Qiao Yu, a second-tier star who has worked hard in Hollywood for many years, can be said to be star-studded.

I heard that many superstars will make cameo appearances. Therefore, the reporters who came to attend the launch conference are no less than Xiao Yunhai's "Langya Bang".

"I would like to ask Director Tian Junhao, what is the main story of your "The Legend of Swordsman"? How much are you going to invest? When do you expect to meet with you?"

Tian Junhao said with a smile: "This reporter friend, you have fouled. One question just turned you into three. However, I can still answer you. Written by Mr. Shen Hongqing, who is the best screenwriter, it mainly tells the story of how a farm boy became a swordsman in Qingcheng step by step. The investment is at least one billion yuan. If it is not enough, I will continue to add more. Because this film needs a lot of The post-production special effects, so it’s really hard to say when it will meet the audience.”

"Director Tian, ​​as a rookie director, what made you have the courage to shoot this immortal masterpiece that has never appeared in China? Don't you think it's a very risky thing?"

Tian Junhao laughed,

"I have the best script, the best funding, the best cast, the best production team, and the best special effects team, and I really can't think of any reason to fail," he said.

"Excuse me, Director Tian, ​​what do you mean by the best special effects team? It seems that no special effects company in China can get such a title."

Tian Junhao said: "In order to be able to take the best picture, I invited the world's No. 1 Hollywood magic special effects company to do post-production for our "The Legend of Swordsman". To this end, I spent at least five billion."

"Wow, the special effects of 500 million are really generous."

"The young people today are all very powerful. There is Emperor Yun before and Tian Junhao after. They are all people who dare to spend money for TV dramas. Blessed are the audiences."

Seeing the shocked expressions of the reporters under the stage, Tian Junhao was very proud.

"Excuse me, Director Tian..."

The launch conference of "The Legend of Swordsman" went on for two hours before it ended.

After completing the opening ceremony, Tian Junhao began to shoot the first shot.

I have to say, as a top student who graduated from the directing department of USC, Tian Junhao still has two brushes. Under his management, the crew is in good order, and the filming of the two consecutive scenes went very smoothly.

After lunch at noon, Tian Junhao was about to make persistent efforts to continue shooting, and two special effects engineers from Magic Special Effects Company found Tian Junhao.

"Is there any problem with coming here?" Tian Junhao asked with a smile.

One of the special effects artists said: "Mr. Tian, ​​we have seen your special effects plan, which is really shocking. But we are sorry to tell you that 500 million Huaxia coins will not meet your requirements in any case."

Another special effects artist also said: "Your TV series needs more than 30,000 special effects shots, which is several times more than a Hollywood blockbuster. And your requirements are as high as theirs, we It really can't be done."

Tian Junhao frowned and said, "Aren't you the No. 1 special effects company in Hollywood? Why can't you do it?"

The special effects artist said: "What we mean is that 500 million Huaxia coins cannot make such many and good special effects shots."

Tian Junhao narrowed his eyes and said with a smile, "So you guys came to increase the price. Tell me, how much does it cost to meet all my special effects requirements?"

The two special effects artists looked at each other, stretched out five fingers at the same time, and said, "500 million, in US dollars."

"500 million US dollars?" Tian Junhao was stunned when he heard the words, and then he burst into anger: "You asked me to spend 1.5 billion Chinese dollars to do special effects for a TV series. Am I crazy? Or are you crazy?"

"Mr. Tian, ​​please don't be angry. You can ask any Hollywood special effects company with your special effects plan. I'm sure they will charge a higher price than us unless you lower your requirements."

Tian Junhao didn't seem to be lying when he saw the expressions of the two, so he said, "Wait a minute."

Tian Junhao took out his mobile phone, found a number in the address book, and dialed it. Soon, the phone went through.

"Hi, Tian, ​​are you disturbing me to pick up girls?"

Tian Junhao smiled and said, "Then I'm so sorry, Thomas. However, I'm really looking for you in a hurry."

It turned out that Tian Junhao and Thomas were very good classmates. The reason why Magic can do special effects for "The Legend of Swordsman" is also because of Thomas.

"What's the urgency with you?" Thomas asked.

Tian Junhao repeated the words of the two special effects artists, and finally said: "Thomas, the price of 500 million US dollars is too high, and I can't recover the cost at all. So, I would like to ask you for help, can it be cheaper?"

Thomas thought for a while and said, "You give them the phone and I'll ask?"

Tian Junhao looked happy and handed the phone to one of the special effects artists.

I don't know what Thomas said on the phone. The special effects artist who answered the phone was very excited. He kept shaking his head and saying no, impossible and so on.

Five minutes later, Tian Junhao took his phone back and said, "Thomas, how are you talking?"

Thomas said, "I'm sorry, my brother. They say $500 million is the lowest price."

Tian Junhao said: "Thomas, you are brothers, you are their boss, can't you be cheaper?"

Thomas paused and said, "Tian, ​​I used to be their boss, but unfortunately, I'm not anymore."

Tian Junhao asked in surprise: "How can this happen?"

Thomas gritted his teeth and said: "This is the masterpiece of your compatriot Yun Hai Xiao. He took all my shares and technical patents, and now I only have 22% left, or spend it from others. Bought it for a lot of money.”

"Xiao Yunhai? He is the major shareholder of Magic Special Effects Company. How is this possible? Where did he get so much money?" Tian Junhao's shocked eyes were about to protrude.

The market value of magic special effects companies is billions of dollars. Although Xiao Yunhai's works are very popular, they are not enough to buy magic funds.

Naturally, Thomas wouldn't tell him the stupid thing he made with Xiao Yunhai, and said, "Tian, ​​I'm sorry, Magic is now in charge of him. If you want to use Magic for special effects, you'd better find him."

Tian Junhao said: "But my relationship with him is very bad. It really doesn't work, I can only find other special effects companies."

Thomas said: "Tian, ​​apart from the other seven Hollywood giants, other special effects companies are not large in scale, and their technology is not good enough, so basically they can't meet your requirements. As for these seven Hollywood giants, it is even less likely that they will pick you up. because they are too busy for their own blockbusters, so how can they do TV special effects for you?"

Tian Junhao frowned and said, "Then you mean I can only find Xiao Yunhai?"

Thomas said, "I think so. I'm sorry Tian, ​​but I can't help you."

Tian Junhao said: "It doesn't matter, I wish you a happy time."

After hanging up the phone, Tian Junhao's face turned blue and white, and he couldn't help but scolded: "Damn, this bastard."

Fortunately, the two special effects artists could not understand Chinese, otherwise, if his words were passed on to Thomas, the two would not even be able to become friends.

After a while, Tian Junhao said to the two special effects artists, "Go back first, I will give you an answer at night."

In the afternoon, on the set of "The Legend of the Swordsman", Tian Junhao sat there with a face pulled, his face was extremely ugly, like a King Yama alive.

A prop master was scolded by him for ten minutes because of something wrong, how ugly the words were.

Later, the actor Wu Jun couldn't stand it anymore, so he stepped forward to persuade him.

Wu Jun's status in the circle is very high. Although Tian Junhao is a bit domineering, he still wants to give Wu Jun's face.

The poor prop master glanced at Wu Jun gratefully, and then hurried away.
