Crazy, 500 yuan also dare to make a science fiction blockbuster

Indeed, Ye Heng's method can be said to be the last.

If you don't give him time to learn Chinese, and each language family, or even everyone, hires an interpreter, then I am afraid that everyone present will have to hire an interpreter except for the people of Longguo.

At that time, the number of people in the entire class will surge, then they will either reduce the number of people invited, or add more accommodation and various preparations.

No matter how you do it, it seems to be troublesome, and Ye Heng's method is the simplest.

"Do you have any different opinions?" Elder Guang looked at the crowd and asked.

Everyone looked at each other, then shook their heads.

"Well, since there are no more opinions, let's follow Xiaoye's wishes."

After speaking, he looked at Ye Heng again.

"However, Xiaoye, if it's according to what you mean, then we will release the news almost now, so that those directors who intend to come to Longguo to listen to your lectures will start to learn Chinese."

"But there is another question, how do you plan to choose the directors who will come to participate this time?"

Everyone looked at Ye Heng again. They hadn't discussed this issue yet.

At the same time, it is also the most difficult issue to discuss in the opinion of everyone present.

Ye Heng pondered for a moment, with a smile on his face.

"My ideas are relatively simple and crude, and somewhat authoritarian."

Hearing this, Elder Guang couldn't help showing a smile on his face.

"It's okay, anyway, you are the one who will teach the class, and you should be the dictator of this matter."

After everyone heard this, they also followed the small formation, but they didn't say much, because it was the truth.

After all, this is Ye Heng's film class centered on Ye Heng. Even if there are some "violent comments" when he speaks, people have no way to refute. Who makes him an authority in this field?

"Tell me what you think." Guang Lao continued.

Seeing this, Ye Heng didn't waste any time.

"My method is very simple. Let them shoot short videos and send them over. I will choose them. If the shots are good, let them come over."

After hearing Ye Heng's words, everyone present couldn't help being silent.

How should I put it, this method is indeed simple and "dictatorial".

To put it simply, it's because he doesn't need too complicated procedures, just shoot a short video and send it over.

But dictatorship, because this matter is completely determined by Ye Heng alone, and it is a completely subjective assessment.

But when everyone thought about it carefully, they actually thought it was nothing.

After all, this class is Ye Heng's class. He chooses his own students and teaches his own class, so what could be wrong?

Having said that, is it possible for authority not to be dictatorial?

Isn't the word authority the greatest dictatorship?

"But, I'm afraid your workload will be too much."

Elder Guang seemed a little worried as he spoke.

Ye Heng's reputation is world-renowned, and there must be many people who want to participate.

Thousands of people?Ten thousand people?and even more?

Even if the time of a short film is set at 5 minutes, 5 films will be 833 minutes, 35 hours, and it will take [-] days to finish watching without sleep.

With such a workload, Elder Guang was a little worried that Ye Heng's body might be overwhelmed.

But Ye Heng just smiled lightly, "Don't worry, it's not a problem even if it comes to 10 units. My usual workload is much stronger than these."

Hearing this, everyone couldn't help laughing.

Elder Guang beside him also smiled helplessly.

However, he was still a little worried. Ye Heng seemed to be a little too tired recently.

He still remembers how he looked when he first met Ye Heng, but now he is much more energetic.

Although Ye Heng looks energetic now, he seems to have lost a lot of weight.

"Is it really all right?" Elder Guang couldn't help asking again.

Hitting Ye Heng just smiled slightly, "Don't worry, Mr. Guang, I'm sure."

Seeing Ye Heng's persistent appearance, Elder Guang finally had to sigh and didn't say anything else.

But he was still vaguely worried, worried that Ye Heng's body would not be able to bear it sooner or later.

Chapter 456 3D

The filming of "To Live" and "Avatar" has been completed successively, and Ye Heng has started to discuss cooperation with various large film and television companies in the world non-stop.

The content of the cooperation is to let them update the screens and equipment of all cinemas to equipment that can play 3D movies.

This is naturally to pave the way for "Avatar". If you wait until the movie is released before starting to replace the equipment, it will be too late.

"Director Ye, although your prestige in the film industry is very high, I'm sorry, we still can't accept this."

During the conference call, a beautiful Chinese said that he opposed Ye Heng with righteous words.

"Do you know how much we're going to pay to replace these devices?"

"I have 2000 movie theaters under my management. According to the labeling of 10 movie halls in each movie theater, a movie hall will cost 2 dollars, and all of them will cost 4 million dollars."

"This is not a small sum for us!"

Facing the opponent's "struggle with reason", Ye Heng was extremely calm.

If you want people to spend a lot of money, you must be able to make them willing.

So Ye Heng smiled slightly, "Excuse me, have you received the things we sent you?"

Everyone who was in the video conference was stunned for a moment, but soon nodded in unison.

A few days ago, Ye Heng asked the company's people to make a few small 3D projectors and 3D glasses, and sent them over for this moment.

"Put on the pair of glasses inside, find a dark place, and try playing that short video."

After hearing Ye Heng's words, everyone was silent for a while.

"Wait for me, I'll try."

A man from the White Banner country said and left the meeting.

After about five or six minutes, the man from the White Banner returned to the video conference.

But on his face, there were still a few beads of sweat, as if he was frightened.

"How about it?"

Ye Heng smiled and looked at the man from the White Banner country.

"I will update all the equipment as soon as possible."

Hearing this, the other people present showed a look of shock on their faces.

It's been less than 10 minutes since you left, and you changed your mind so quickly?Could it be that he was threatened with a gun?

"Everyone should have the things I sent in your hands. You can take a good look. After reading it, I think you will have the answer in your heart."

Ye Heng said with a smile on his face.

Seeing this, everyone was silent for a while, and then withdrew from the video conference one after another.

After ten minutes or so, those hot guys who had quit all re-entered the video conference.

"Director Ye, I invested in this business! Isn't it just a change of equipment! Change!"

"Don't talk about the equipment! It's okay to change the whole movie theater!"

"I have already contacted, and tomorrow I will replace all the more than 1000 movie theaters under my umbrella!"

Hearing this, a smile appeared on Ye Heng's face.

"Well, Director Ye, I have a question I want to ask you."

The pretty Chinese from before then asked.

Ye Heng nodded towards him, "Ask."

"Did you develop this technology yourself?"

Ye Heng nodded. No one had studied 3D movie technology before him.

He also made people start from scratch, and it took four or five years to get it out.

"Then will you disclose this technology later?"

Hearing this, everyone in the video conference couldn't help staring at Ye Heng.

The short 3D video that Ye Heng showed them before had clearly attracted their attention deeply.

As a businessman, his sense of smell is naturally sensitive.

They know that this industry can definitely make money, but how much money can be made depends on how many such movies can be produced in the future.

To put it simply, it's like someone persuades you to open a bathhouse at home, and he will give you money when he comes to take a bath.

And you also know that he didn't lie to you, as long as you build the bathhouse, you will definitely make money.

But the question is, can you guarantee that people will always come to this bathhouse?

You spent 100 million to build a bathhouse, but he came twice and gave you [-] to [-] yuan, but the cost of your bathhouse has not been recovered.

Only when other people come to this bathhouse, take a bath together, and other people follow along and give money together, can the bathhouse earn more money, recover its capital, and then make a profit.

Ye Heng's 3D movies are similar in nature. They changed the equipment as if they built a bathhouse. Ye Heng's movies attracted people who came to take a bath.

But if it's just a movie, it's definitely not enough to pay back.

Only when more and more 3D movies can attract more people to come here to consume, can they make money back.

Now, 3% of the patent for [-]D movies is already in the hands of Ye Heng and New Era.

If Ye Heng doesn't open up this technology, other people can't use it, and he can only let himself make this type of movie, then there will always be only a certain number of people in their bathhouse, and it will be difficult to pay back, and it will be even more difficult to make money.

Ye Heng naturally knew the worries in their hearts, he had thought about this issue from the very beginning.

"After "Avatar" is released, I will announce the technology so that anyone who is willing to shoot 3D movies can shoot this type of movie."

Hearing this, smiles appeared on the faces of several people.

Several people who did not express their opinions before also expressed their willingness to join Ye Heng's plan to change the equipment of the cinema.

……

"Just publish this technology like this? Don't take the opportunity to collect some patent fees?"

John on the side came over and asked while looking at the closed video conference.

Ye Heng shrugged, "I don't want to be called Edison."

Hearing the name, John froze for a moment.

"Edison? What do you mean?"

Seeing John's bewildered face, Ye Heng remembered that the film history of this world is incomplete, so he continued.

"At the beginning, a guy named Edison and his assistant William Dixon completed the invention of the moving movie mirror and applied for a patent. After that, Edison created the "Prison Car" studio, which is regarded as the beginning of the history of the film in the beautiful country. Then it was established Edison, through subsequent research and development and directional patent layout, by the end of the 19th century, Edison already owned many basic patents in film shooting technology.”

"Then, Edison started patent litigation to compete for the market, causing the entire film industry Edison to require every theater in the United States to pay a patent royalty of five dollars a week, and film distributors to pay a patent royalty of five thousand dollars a year."

"No independent film producer could make a film without a patent license from the Motion Picture Patents Corporation. Edison's reputation for litigation combined with the power of the Motion Picture Patents Corporation forced most producers, distributors, and theater owners to conform and pay royalties. The company formed a monopoly in almost every field related to the production, distribution and exhibition of movies. The Edison Trust's control over patents ensured that only studios under the trust could make films, and patents on projectors allowed it to cooperate with theaters. Sign a patent license agreement with the distributor, and fully control the release time and place of the film."

Chapter 457 Retirement

After listening to Ye Heng's description, John couldn't help but gasp.

"It's terrible to monopolize the entire industry, but if you only think about making money, it seems that it is indeed quite profitable."

Ye Heng nodded. It is indeed violent, but such behavior will inevitably discourage a large number of directors who want to make 3D movies, thus limiting the development of this type of movie.

Any monopoly is the greatest stranglehold on the development of the industry!
