Cross the road of the director

Meng Wencheng made no secret of his panic and nervousness.

For this, Lu Jue didn't explain much, but simply ordered a few things and sent him back.

Looking at his slightly hunched figure and staggering steps, Wei Yuan couldn't help sighing: "Ah Jue, brother Meng looks very worried, why don't you say a few words to comfort him?"

Lu Jue glanced at him and said, "For people like Brother Meng, verbal comfort is useless. Don't worry, I will go to Lieyang tomorrow and teach them how to use this software in person."

Wei Yuan doesn't know much about special effects software, so he naturally doesn't know how difficult it is to create a better special effects software.Silly and sweet as him, seeing his cousin full of confidence, he followed suit.

only……

"Ah Jue, Brother Meng himself said that the budget given by the production company is very small. The special effects are not profitable in the first place. Why do you give others a discount? It's too loss-making, right?"

Qingkong is basically managed by Chen Yipeng, and Wei Yuan has never seen Lu Jue run the company.Seeing that his first decision after purchasing Lieyang was to make a discount this time, I couldn't help but feel worried.

Lu Jue's attention returned to the computer again, and he explained unhurriedly: "I checked Director Wei and the production company. Director Wei's full name is Wei Xian, and he is a graduate of the Imperial Academy of Drama...you don't have to This expression, yes, he is indeed my senior, but I will not give him a discount just because of this."

Wei Yuan frowned, and said, "Have you never heard of this person? He's not a famous director, so why don't you help him?"

Lu Jue said: "Wei Xian really hasn't made any works in these years after graduation. You don't know that he is normal. I only found out about him after I checked." After a pause, "According to the information, the TV series he shot this time A lot of classmates were recruited, and the people who participated in the production were either unknown or fresh graduates, and the company established was only a dozen people, just like us, it is a small workshop."

Wei Yuan: "So you are here to support the alumni?"

Lu Jue: "No, it's not so much that I'm supporting the alumni, it's better to say that I'm supporting the screenwriter and Wei Xian, and I'm looking forward to their cooperation."

Wei Yuan: "Screenwriter? Wei Xian?"

Lu Jue: "You don't know yet, do you? The screenwriter of this play is none other than Greiping."

Wei Yuan: "!!!"

After the shock, Wei Yuan jumped up excitedly, talking non-stop, without stopping,

Lu Jue selectively ignored him, and continued to make final changes to his special effects software, only occasionally replying with a sentence or two to show that he was listening.

Gray Ping.

A rising star in the screenwriting world, with high output in the past two years, the quality is also surprisingly good. He does not rely on his predecessors to produce excellent works frequently, and he is a powerful screenwriter who has made a fortune on his own.

People in the industry may not be sure, but fans who follow him know that each of Greiping's works is created by himself. For this reason, he is bald when he is less than [-] years old.

Wei Yuan met him once before and didn't know much about him, but he deeply admired his fighting spirit of "in order to become stronger, first go bald".

Everyone knows that Greiping's scripts are of good quality. With this premise, it's no wonder that A Jue is willing to help them.

Wei Yuan thought to himself, feeling that he had guessed the truth.

After a long time, Wei Yuan learned from his friends that Wei Xian and the others sold their houses to raise money for the filming of this drama, and the production staff involved were all classmates and alumni of Power Generation. know.

However, when this Mr. Lu, whom Wei Yuan admired so much, appeared in the special effect of Lieyang, he put on an arrogant and domineering appearance, completely ignoring the ugly expressions of the employees.

Lu Xiaotao is an old employee who joined the company when Lieyang Special Effects was first established.

As a special effects artist with good technical ability, when Lu Xiaotao heard that the new boss, Lu Jue, wanted them to use new special effects software, he felt uncomfortable.

New special effects software?

There are only those special effect software on the market, where is there better special effect software?It's really an outsider directing an insider.

Lu Xiaotao stood in the center of the crowd, glaring at Lu Jue impatiently, hoping to scare the young people in front of him with his eyes, and show them the momentum of the special effects of the sun.

however……

Lu Jue ignored him, pointed to the people around him, and said, "This is Lawyer Feng I invited. Before I teach you how to use the software, I hope you can sign a new non-disclosure agreement."

As soon as these words came out, all the people present stood in place, looking at each other, not knowing what to say.

Meng Wencheng didn't know about this beforehand, and suddenly found out, he subconsciously looked at Sister Luo, the strong woman in the company, and then, under the sign of the other party's eyes, said awkwardly: "This... Mr. Lu, who can persist until now All employees are trustworthy, so there is no need to re-sign the contract, right?"

Lu Jue smiled slightly and said, "This software is for the company's private use. No one can guarantee that the people present will stay in Lieyang and will not leave the company. Therefore, in order to avoid future troubles, we'd better sign the contract as soon as possible."

Meng Wencheng: "..."

Facing the powerful Lu Jue, Meng Wencheng lost all momentum and could only keep his mouth shut.

Seeing this, everyone knew that there was nothing Lao Meng could do, so they obediently picked up the contract provided by Lawyer Feng to read it.

Lu Xiaotao's suppressed anger exploded when he saw the contract.

He glared angrily, and said angrily: "The confidentiality contract is fine, why do you still have a copyright contract here? When did you say that there are copyrights for special effects? What do you mean that the special effects you produce do not belong to you, but must belong to the company? "

"What? Special effects copyright?"

"I'll go, we are such a small company and still engage in special effects copyright? Domestic special effects still have copyright?"

"Copyright? Cough... Lu Xiaotao, don't worry, you can speak up if you have any questions. You are always so irritable, and people are unwilling to explain what they originally wanted to explain..."

Everyone talked a lot, and Meng Wencheng was under pressure to smooth things over for Lu Jue and Lu Xiaotao. "President Lu, Lu Xiaotao has no bad intentions, so don't be angry with him..."

Lu Xiaotao frowned, and said unhappily: "Old Meng, why do you have to bow your knees to him? We are skilled in technology, so we don't need to be afraid of a layman."

"Hard power? Not afraid? Heh."

Suddenly, I saw Lu Jue chuckling lightly, showing his defiant attitude to the fullest.

Facing the eyes of everyone, he shrugged his shoulders and said with a relaxed expression: "Indeed, a capable person is not afraid of going anywhere. Then you say, with Brother Meng's strength, it is easy to find a job, so why does he have to work so hard?" Find me so hard, let me take over here?"

Without waiting for their answer, he continued, "Because of you."

"Brother Meng likes the time of working with you, and also likes this company like a family, and he likes everyone who has been with him for so many years. He doesn't want to destroy this home, so he would rather give in and let me Take over."

"Don't worry, I won't make too many changes to Lieyang according to the contract, but you must sign the contract. Only after signing the contract can you continue your work."

Lu Xiaotao was stunned, and stood there with a blushing neck, and asked coyly for a long time, "What if I don't sign?"

Lu Jue smiled and said, "Nothing to do, just stay at home and come back to work until the contract is signed."

Now, everyone knew how tough the boss Lu Jue was.

There are people like Lu Xiaotao who are proud of their strength, but most of them are ordinary people who work every day and get a day's salary.As a result, under Lu Jue's signal, many people obediently approached Attorney Feng to sign a contract.

Because of Lu Xiaotao's matter, everyone subconsciously looked at the contract before signing the contract, and unexpectedly found that only those special effects artists who used the new software had copyright contracts, and everyone else only needed to sign a non-disclosure agreement.

"Recently, Lie Yang's only project is "Ghost Story of the Republic of China"."

"In addition to this job, I hope that everyone can produce more basic materials for our software RE. According to the contract, the copyright of ordinary materials will automatically belong to the company. A certain percentage is distributed to each creator."

"Special effects are art. I'm not a good person, but I won't treat creators as targets of search. So, everyone here can create some materials and send them to RE."

Lu Jue slapped him with a stick and gave him a red date, all of Lieyang's employees became more obedient, and even Lu Xiaotao, who was originally furious, calmed down.

Can special effect materials get copyright fees?

This kind of thing can only be found in foreign countries, and it is so rare in China that it can be counted on five fingers.At this moment, everyone didn't know how the 30 revenue Lu Jue was talking about was calculated, but they could feel that the person in front of him really thought about everyone.

For this alone, no matter what the software RE he produced, everyone is willing to try it.

The emotions of Lieyang's old employees became more gentle with the naked eye.

Lu Jue didn't say much, and directly led the employees who signed the contract to find the computer in the middle of the office, and imported and installed RE in front of them.

During this period, Lu Xiaotao secretly asked lawyer Feng for an agreement, and obediently signed it.Then, with Meng Wencheng's playful eyes, he ran to the back of the crowd and peeked at the new software called RE.

So, under the watchful eyes of various special effects artists, Lu Jue opened the software steadily.

I saw that the operation page of the software is clear and simple, not much different from the commonly used houd, and then...

Lu Jue created materials one by one at an unimaginable speed, and input data that everyone didn't see clearly, and modeled light and shadow... After a few works, a castle located by the sea rose from the ground, just like a photo Just as lifelike.

"..."

The special effects artists looked at each other with complicated expressions.

Lu Jue said: "Look, every material created will be automatically uploaded by the RE software, and other employees can use it directly when using it. In addition, each software is also equipped with an AI system, you only need to activate it... "Move the mouse and activate the software, "Xiao Rui, rebuild a castle based on the existing materials."

"Yes Master."

Accompanied by the mechanical answer, the screen moved, and everyone felt dazzled. In the blink of an eye, a new castle was generated by the kung fu software.

Compared with Lu Jue's works, New Castle has more loopholes, and the realism has dropped a lot, but it still makes all the special effects artists excited.

——After all, this is a building automatically generated by AI based on the materials.

The combination of artificial intelligence and special effects has long been used abroad, but most of them simulate dynamics and natural fluid phenomena, and never involve AI architecture.

In terms of the current situation of the special effects industry, the RE software produced by Lu Jue is absolutely ahead of foreign technology, and is the real king of special effects software.

The special effects artists were excitedly discussing the possibility of RE, and they also knew the reason why Lu Jue asked everyone to sign a non-disclosure agreement.Just kidding, if they were Lu Jue, signing one agreement would not be enough, I'm afraid they would have to sign a few more to be at ease.

At this time, everyone was no longer afraid of Lu Jue. There were endless discussions, and many people asked him questions. It was very lively.

"Boss Lu! When can we use it?"

Suddenly, a voice came out of the crowd.

According to the reputation, this person is none other than Lu Xiaotao who had a dispute with Lu Jue just now.

"Haha, Lu Xiaotao, you really can't help it?"

"Is this software powerful? Our exclusive software for Lieyang Special Effects. Here, you, you, have you signed a non-disclosure agreement? If you don't sign it, you can't use our software."

"Mr. Lu, where did you buy the software? Even Lu Xiaotao, the thorn in the side, has become obedient, it's really amazing..."

Everyone's laughter made Lu Xiaotao blush.

Even so, he still looked at Lu Jue stubbornly, and asked again: "Boss Lu, when can we use this software?"

Just from this look, Lu Jue felt his enthusiasm for special effects.

He smiled and said: "If you sign a contract with Lawyer Feng, you can get the activation code. The activation code is the most important thing in RE software. Without it, most functions cannot be used, and AI Xiaorui cannot be activated." .”

As soon as the words fell, everyone rushed to Attorney Feng's side, trying to get the activation code from him.

Lu Jue: "..."

He looked around, and then smiled at Sister Luo, Lie Yang's housekeeper, who walked towards him knowingly.

When someone came over, Lu Jue said: "I will send you the activation code regularly, please send it to them, Sister Luo." He took out his phone and sent a message to Sister Luo, "Let me tell you first, the RE software is very special, so An activation code is required for each installation."

Sister Luo: "I understand."

Lu Jue: "The other thing is that RE has relatively high requirements for computers. Some computers in the company should be replaced as soon as possible. Don't save money on this..."

Lu Jue explained the matter one by one, and then left Lieyang Special Effects with Lawyer Feng under the reluctant eyes of the special effects artists.

Since Lieyang special effects have RE software, each special effects artist has unprecedented enthusiasm in creating this matter.It’s all about working, and I try to save time for eating, going to the toilet, and sleeping as much as possible, and discuss with other colleagues about the materials I create when I have nothing to do.

So, when Director Wei came to Lieyang with the materials, he was surprised to find that the special effects artists had changed from their laziness in the past, and all greeted him warmly with smiles.

"What? Discount?"

Wei Xian looked at Meng Wencheng in surprise, his face full of dreams, as if he was hallucinating.

Meng Wencheng said: "Yes, our new boss said that "Ghost Story of the Republic of China" is his first project, so he will give you a [-]% discount. Don't worry, the money is discounted, but the special effects will not be discounted."

Wei Xian: "..."

I saw Wei Xianfa was stunned for a while, and said with a wry smile: "Originally, I came here this time to discuss with you about the extension of the final payment. I didn't expect you to..." After a pause, "Old Meng, your Who is the new boss?"

Meng Wencheng gave Lu Jue's name, and didn't say anything else, let alone the special effects software.

Wei Xian muttered: "Lu Jue..."

At this moment, he deeply remembered the name in his heart.

October of the same year.

After confirming that there is no problem with the special effects of the sun, Lu Jue turned his mind back to his own project, and no longer interfered with the special effects of the sun.

Seeing this, Chen Yipeng couldn't help frowning and said, "Mr. Lu, you don't care about the special effects of Lieyang? It's not that I speak ill of people behind their backs. I don't think Meng Wencheng is a good manager. He is more suitable for technology."

Lu Jue said disapprovingly: "I know. Changing the coach directly now will make the employees of Lieyang rebellious. When the project of "Ghost Story of the Republic of China" is over, I will arrange another person to manage the special effects of Lieyang."

"Is that so?"

Chen Yipeng thought about it, and after a while, he said, "Lu Jue, let me manage the special effects of Lieyang."

Lu Jue was taken aback, looked up at him, and asked, "Are you sure? My new project will start soon. If you want to manage Lie Yang, can the producer's work continue?"

Chen Yipeng said: "No."

Lu Jue: "..."

"I thought about it, I still want to be a manager more than being a producer."

manager?

I, who was finally abducted, made a movie, so I don't want to continue to be a producer?

What Chen Yipeng said made Lu Jue feel bad.

He can understand Chen Yipeng's ideals, but the speed of change is too fast, and he has not found a new successor at all, isn't it uncomfortable?

"Ahem, I can learn about Lieyang from Sister Luo, and take over slowly. As for your producer? I personally recommend Wei Yuan to take over."

"During this time, Wei Yuan has been doing all kinds of work in the studio, and he has a certain understanding of the producer. If he comes to take over, it will be no problem."

Chen Yipeng pushed his glasses, sincerely persuading him.

The corners of Lu Jue's lips twitched, and he said, "My cousin is really popular, but he doesn't have enough connections, and his skills are not as good as yours. It may not be possible to take over as a producer. The most important thing is that his dream is to be a director. Become a producer?"

Chen Yipeng: "..."

Chen Yipeng: "What you said can be learned and accumulated. As for the director? Why do I think Wei Yuan enjoys participating in the creative process more than being a director?"

Lu Jue: "..."

Now it was Lu Jue's turn to be speechless.

He thought about it, and had to admit that what Chen Yipeng said was indeed quite reasonable.

"In this way, we can let Wei Yuan try the new works, and I will teach him if he can't handle it. Hey, don't look at me like that, I know it's a bit troublesome, but it's the best way to cultivate a person Isn't it the way? Or do you think Wei Yuan is not worthy of your training?"

Chen Yipeng looked at Lu Jue with a half-smile.

Seeing this situation, Lu Jue leaned back and said helplessly, "Okay, you and Wei Yuan can discuss this matter yourself. It's agreed in advance, and I won't take care of those chores. What are you doing wrong? Should I scold or have to scold..."

"Director Lu—! Terrible!"

Before he could finish speaking, screenwriter Hu Qingqing walked in with a gloomy expression.She ignored the pleasantries, and hurriedly said: "Director Lu, our script was sent back by the Film Bureau, saying that our outline was not in compliance with the regulations and would not be allowed to pass."

Lu Jue frowned, and asked, "Non-compliance? If I remember correctly, it's been almost 20 days since this book was handed over, and 20 days will give us a non-compliance?"

Hu Qingqing bit her lip and nodded in embarrassment.

Lu Jue and Chen Yipeng looked at each other, and both had their own ideas.

Lu Jue comforted Hu Qingqing in a soft voice, and then said sullenly, "Not in compliance? Old Chen, why do I feel that your old boss is messing with this matter?"

Chen Yipeng sighed: "This is indeed what they can do." After a pause, "Dongyuan is powerful, but it is not enough to face the sky with one hand. I will ask my friends about the situation."

It's okay not to inquire, but when Chen Yipeng inquired, he found that his old friend was transferred to a small department with no power because of his relationship.One of the directors with whom he had the best relationship was deprived of directing rights and directly made an assistant director, letting him manage trivial matters.

Lu Jue didn't know what they were talking about, but he could tell something from Chen Yipeng's expression.

After a long time, Chen Yipeng hung up the phone worriedly.

Lu Jue observed his expression and asked, "Is the situation serious?"

Chen Yipeng was silent for a moment, and told Lu Jue everything he knew, and said: "If there is no accident, it is indeed Dongyuan who is behind the scenes."

Lu Jue thought for a while and said, "Leaving aside the issue of the filming permit, is the situation serious with your friend? Dongyuan... Well, if they want, they can come to our small workshop for a while."

Lu Jue was very satisfied with Chen Yipeng as a partner.

Therefore, he doesn't mind two more people in the company, anyway, no matter what kind of people come to him, he can make full use of them.

"Need not……"

Chen Yipeng hesitated for a long time, and then said: "Oh, this is a mess, I will ask their opinion later. But what about the shooting permit? Without this, our project cannot be started. This is the most important thing. Bad thing."

Lu Jue glanced at him and said, "I will find someone to solve this matter."

Filming license.

literally.In China, there is no such thing, and it is not allowed to shoot film and television dramas.

This time, Lu Jue took half a year to prepare the script, taking every aspect into consideration, how could he touch taboos like a rookie and make an illegal oolong?

I still remember that during the filming of "The Ninth Letter" last time, relying on Dongyuan's contacts, I got this thing early.Unexpectedly, it didn't take long before the two sides turned against each other.

With Dongyuan's strength, it is still possible for people to get stuck on the script submitted by Qingkong Studio, so that they cannot get a shooting permit in a short period of time.

Lu Jue knew that he only had to wait for a while to get the filming permit.

But he didn't want to wait.

So, he dialed someone's phone...

The author has something to say: Routine meditation: This is a parallel world~

Cousin's affinity is really strong, it's time for him to embark on the path of the most compelling filmmaker (?)

Chen Yipeng enjoys the fun of management with all his heart, but the producer is not suitable for him (?)

One more sneaky remark: Dongyuan’s trick is really good~ but it can be used for now, and later Lu Jue will fly into the sky, so I can’t hold it down~
