I’m Almost Losing to a Muggle

There is a ten-year gap? Lin Dong pretended to be surprised.

Some core things, we still can't do it here, and there is no way to make up for the gap in concept with technology.

There is a gap of ten years, why don't you hurry up and catch up.

Well……

Or are you able to shorten the ten-year gap in Base?

Suddenly I don't know how to answer.

Hu Hailang is also very innocent.

Although he would occasionally impassionedly want to save China's special effects industry, but that was all bragging.

It's as if someone wants to save the universe.

Some people want to save the lost girl.

Some people want to go back to their hometown.

It's all about fantasizing in your head and talking about it on your mouth.

In fact, it is impossible for you to save the universe, the most you can do is to save the lost girl.

Boss, I'm just making a living. I want to save some money to marry the widow of the village king. Hu Hailang couldn't figure out when the burden of saving China's special effects industry fell on his shoulders.

Can he refuse?

This is not a conflict. After you save the Huaxia special effects industry, will the widow Wang in your village still despise you?

Lin Dong asked seriously.

Hu Hailang also thought about it very seriously, and found that it was really the case.

How to save China's special effects industry?

If it wasn't for Lin Dong being Kleist's boss, and the two of them were squatting next to a pile of foam box lunches to chat about such topics, the scene would be a sand sculpture.

Let's set up a special effects company ourselves, which belongs to our independent domestic special effects company. Lin Dong continued to fool around.

Is not this nonsensical?

Hu Hailang waited for Lin Dong, a layman, to continue talking nonsense.

Then let's poach people from first-class foreign effects teams, such as Digital Domain or something. Do you know who is the best in the industry?

Lin Dong is really not talking nonsense.

He had been thinking about it for a long time.

He is an outsider.

But it's not out of tune with this world.

Perhaps there was, but it was all in the first few days. He always missed his hometown crazily, and felt that throwing him here was a prank.

However, over time.

He still misses his hometown, but he has adapted to and fell in love with the delicious food here, the interesting performing arts work, and even the humanistic values ​​of China.

Moreover, he had a deep relationship with the original owner's parents.

The two old men would call him on a regular basis to ask him about his health and urge him to quickly find a woman to marry, and he would occasionally call and fly over to live in his hometown for a few days every year.

He hopes that China's film industry can develop healthily and vigorously.

If this improvement in development is because of him, then he is even happier.

Movie special effects will completely change the structure of the film production market for many years to come. If Huaxia Movies wants to catch up with Hollywood, special effects are an unavoidable thing.

If you are really rich, why don't you buy Digital Domain? Now that it has been resold to Xiangjiang, the people who bought it must want to resell.

Hu Hailang worked hard to make himself not so petty, so that he could keep up with Lin Dong's thinking.

The former general manager of Industrial Light \u0026 Magic, Scott Ross, director James Cameron, and film special effects master Stan Winston co-founded the special effects company Digital Domain.

Contributed to Titanic, Transformers trilogy and many other high-quality works, and has won Oscar affirmation 7 times.

At one point, the market capitalization reached $400 million.

However, a company in Xiangjiang bought it back last year for less than 400 million Hong Kong dollars.

Shrunk nearly ten times!

If they are acquired, they will still be Digital Domain, a company owned by Americans. It will take too much effort to twist them over.

And the acquisition cost too little.

After researching, Lin Dong discovered that it is very simple to acquire special effects companies, and a lot of special effects companies are selling off buildings.

If you can't buy it, you can't be fooled.

Wanting to make some contributions to Huaxia Films does not mean that he has forgotten his original intention of losing money.

So he doesn't intend to buy any team as a whole.

Hu Hailang thought for a while, and agreed with Lin Dong's opinion.

These teams, which have been formed for many years, have their own unique values, and are ready to use this set of values ​​and capital to confront at any time.

It is precisely because of their unity and xenophobia that it is very difficult to learn core techniques and concepts from them, which is not in line with Lin Dong's purpose of building a special effects team.

Therefore, only dig a single elite and put them in the middle of a strange and dangerous new team.

This is in the interests of Lin Dong and the Huaxia team.

Lin Dong and Hu Hailang quickly reached an agreement on this aspect.

Hu Hailang has been in this industry for so long, and there is nothing among colleagues to brag about each other. It is impossible that no one realizes this.

The problem of profitability must also be solved. The reason why special effects companies have a difficult survival environment is because of the problem of the business operation model.

Hu Hailang talked eloquently, thinking that his knowledge in this area could be appreciated by Lin Dong.

I am not a person who has no ability.

But he didn't know that Lin Dong had no interest in this at all. He just asked, Where do you think the problem is and how to solve it?

We starve to do all the work, but they earn billions of dollars. Hu Hailang clenched his fists: This industry must unite to stop such things.

Then do you think they can unite? Lin Dong asked with a smile.

Then Hu Hailang was speechless.

That year, James and Bridge had set a total budget for Titanic in the $100 million range, with a visual effects budget of eighteen million.

However, after Digital Domain researched the project, it found that 18 million was far from enough. To achieve the effect James Cameron wanted, at least 27 million was needed.

At that time, Digital Domain's biggest competitor was Industrial Light and Magic.

The leaders of Industrial Light and Magic thought: If I work with James Cameron on a film, but he can't afford his own company to do visual effects, then I can give Digital Domain a fatal blow.

With this in mind, Industrial Light \u0026 Magic expressed its willingness to accept a budget of 18 million.

That is to say, I'd rather lose money than die and win over my opponent.

join forces?

nonexistent.

The idea of ​​careerists is to become the industry leader first, then integrate the industry, and speak for the industry by themselves.

Because everyone thinks so, so...

Sorry, I'm too ambitious.

Hu Hailang was hit by Lin Dong, knowing it was one thing, but knowing how to solve it was another.

It doesn't matter, we can take our time. The first thing is to get the team together first. You can help me to research first. Which special effects characters at the big boss level want a high-paying Huaxia job now, and they are not too rigid. want to hide the technology.

Lin Dong formally extended an olive branch like the young man he persuaded.
