Chapter 229 The Crisis in Hollywood

Hollywood is the overlord of the film industry, and every year it takes away a small amount of box office from China, which makes me feel distressed. (viii) If Hollywood can be killed, there is no need to think about the benefits. However, the power of Hollywood is strong, is it feasible?

Yue Jianqun and the others didn't believe it at first, but Ye Chen was full of confidence, and they couldn't help looking forward to it.

"Mr. Yue, you also said that technology can make a good movie. On the other hand, without the support of advanced technology, there will be no good movie." Ye Chen smiled maliciously, and said: "In the past, The most advanced stunt technology is in the hands of the United States, but now it is in my hands. If I make things difficult for Hollywood, what do you think will happen?"

"Haha." Everyone laughed, very happy.

Special effects are so important to a movie, it can also be said to be the vitality of a movie. Think about it, the movie "Avatar" was criticized by film critics, but it managed to rake in more than two billion dollars at the box office and was praised as a "money printing machine". The reason is that this is a milestone for 3D movies.

Ye Chen has mastered the most advanced stunt technology. If he makes things difficult for Hollywood, then Hollywood will definitely be overwhelmed and will definitely suffer bad luck.

Think about it, Hollywood can't use Ye Chen's technology to make movies, and domestic movies use the most advanced technology, the gap between the two is huge, domestic movies will definitely sell well, while Hollywood movies will definitely shrink.

"Yes, that's how you want to deal with Hollywood. Director Ye, you don't need to produce for Hollywood." Someone shouted excitedly.

It's rude to yell here, but everyone is excited and no one thinks it's wrong.

"No! It's not that I won't make it for Hollywood..." Ye Chen's words were interrupted.

"Ye Dong, you want to make for Hollywood?" Yue Jianqun was taken aback.

Hollywood is the overlord of the film industry and has too many resources. If Ye Chen cooperates with Hollywood, it will be of great benefit to Hollywood, and it will be detrimental to domestic films.

"That's right." Ye Chen nodded.

"No, Ye Dong, this is absolutely impossible." Everyone shouted in unison.

"What's wrong?" Ye Chen said with a serious face: "The film market is so big, if I don't do this, I will lose a lot. Besides, the iron must be hard by itself. If you don't grasp the opportunity, you will not think about making progress. , I still have to pay for you, is there such a reason?"

Ye Chen can see that for the sake of all Chinese companies, he can gain some advantages for domestic films,

But he is not a nanny, let alone pay for these film and television companies.

If Ye Chen didn't do special effects for foreign film and television companies, although he would win more advantages for domestic films, it is difficult to guarantee that no one will rest on the credit book and not think about making progress.

Ye Chen just gave them some help, and they had to rely on themselves in the end.

"This..." Ye Chen's words were very reasonable, and everyone had nothing to say.

"Ye Dong, what are you going to do?" Yue Jianqun asked tentatively.

"I have to take two measures. The first one is to procrastinate." Ye Chen explained, "It is imperative to produce special effects for foreign film and television companies, but I can procrastinate. I think it should not be done within a year or two. It will be done abroad. This is the most time I can buy for you. During this period of time, whether you can rise or not depends on you.”

One or two years, although it is not long, is not too short, if used well, many blockbuster films can be produced, and the reputation of domestic films can be established.

"Thank you Director Ye, we will definitely hurry up and produce more good movies." Han Jin said hurriedly.

After one or two years, Ye Chen's losses are already great, and we can't extravagantly hope that Ye Chen can win more for them.

"The second is to increase the price." Ye Chen smiled cunningly, and said, "Hehe. Didn't you say that foreign teams are very expensive to produce special effects? Let’s double it first, and then raise the price as appropriate.”

"Haha!" Everyone laughed, very happy.

Ye Chen produced special effects for foreign film and television companies, and raised the price high, at least doubled. That will give domestic films a huge cost advantage.

Special effects production accounts for a large proportion of the cost. The total cost of a film like "Avatar" is as high as 500 million US dollars. Although the production cost has not been announced, there are gossip that it is 400 million US dollars. Maybe not as much, but half the total cost is still possible.

If Ye Chen doubled the cost of special effects so that it accounted for 70% to 80% of the total cost, that would be enough for Hollywood.

Hollywood can't do it if it doesn't do it. It's the only one, and there is no other semicolon. Hollywood can only pinch its nose and recognize it.

The cost of domestic films is not so high, but much lower, which makes the competitive advantage of domestic films very obvious.

In this way, if the domestic film cannot go global and establish its own brand, Ye Chen cannot be blamed. There is only so much Ye Chen can help.

"Ye Dong, thank you. In this way, we will have more confidence." Yue Jianqun was very excited.

For a long time, the cost of domestic films has been a big problem. The cost of production is too high, and foreign companies have made money, leaving little room for maneuver. Now, this is not a problem, they can let go of their hands and feet and do a lot of work.

Moreover, Feng Shui takes turns, and now it is Hollywood's turn to bear the burden of rising costs, and its competitiveness will drop sharply. This is a great thing.

"Ye Dong, this is not enough. You have to develop projection equipment." Han Jin reminded Ye Chen.

Although the performance of the super optical computer is powerful, how can it be used for showing movies? This requires special projection equipment. With the huge global film market, a lot of film equipment is needed, and Ye Chen can make a fortune again.

"Thank you Mr. Han for the reminder. I will give you a 10% discount for your production." Ye Chen readily accepted and rewarded Han Jin.

The production cost of this kind of special effects is very high, and a 10% discount will also save Hanjin a lot of money.

"Thank you Dong Ye." Han Jin was overjoyed.

"Ye Dong, I think your special effects production can be divided into many levels, and different levels have different prices. It can not only make it easier for investors to choose, but also give Ye Dong more room for maneuver." Stimulated Yue Jianqun, he also gave advice to Ye Chen.

This is indeed a very good suggestion. In this case, Ye Chen slaughters people so that others have nothing to say. Of course, it would be better to use it against Hollywood.

"Good idea. Mr. Yue, I'll give you a 10% discount too." Ye Chen readily accepted.

Everyone was very excited and offered suggestions one after another. Some suggestions are very good and practical, Ye Chen promised to give preferential treatment. Some suggestions are not acceptable at all, Ye Chen refuses and does not give preferential treatment.

Those who got the promise of preferential treatment were very happy, and those who did not get it were very upset.

In this way, Ye Chen got a lot of ideas, and they only need to be perfected before they can be put into practice.

This conversation ended happily, and everyone was happy.

At the same time, Hollywood is also brewing a conspiracy against Ye Chen.

Hollywood is located in the outskirts of California, USA, surrounded by mountains and rivers, with beautiful scenery. The famous film giants in the United States are located here, and this is the center of world film.

Turner is a well-known film giant in the United States. Turner Films was founded by him and has produced many world-famous films. Now he and his staff are watching Ye Chen's All-Star concert in his private theater.

Turner was on vacation and he didn't like people to disturb him on vacation. When his young and beautiful female assistant asked him to watch the concert, he was very upset and asked his assistant: "Don't you know that I don't like being disturbed Are you on vacation?"

The assistant answered him: "Mr. Turner, I know you don't like to be interrupted on your vacation. However, I want to remind you that if you insist on taking a vacation, you will definitely blame yourself. Why didn't you follow my advice at the time? "

Reluctantly, Turner interrupted his vacation and sat down to watch the concert. Seeing this, he was taken aback, and his heart became heavier and heavier.

Then Turner called all his men to watch together.

His subordinates were like him, the more surprised they looked, the heavier their hearts became.

After reading it, Turner and the others were collectively silent, and no one spoke for a long time.

"Come to my office." Turner led his men to his office.

"You've all seen Ye Chen's concert, tell me, what do you think?" Turner's face was gloomy and his tone was heavy.

"Mr. Turner, Ye Chen's concert showed extremely advanced stunt technology, which is fatal to us. We must find a way to deal with it immediately." A subordinate expressed his opinion.

"Idiot, can't I see it? Can't they see it too? Do I need to raise a fool like you who can only talk bullshit? You are fired." Turner was in a very bad mood, although his subordinates said It is the truth, but the truth is also empty talk, who can't see it?

What Turner needs now is a way to deal with it, not this kind of empty talk.

"Mr. Turner, please give me another chance." The subordinate hurriedly begged.

Turner Films is a world-renowned film giant, and the salary is very high. It would be too bad to lose it.

However, Turner was upset, how could he feel sorry for him, and asked someone to take him out.

"Mr. Turner, the technology displayed in the concert is shocking. This not only has a great impact on our Turner film industry, but also has a great impact on the entire Hollywood. We should work together with our peers to deal with this crisis." Someone suggested.

"Well, yes, this suggestion is very good." Turner adopted his subordinate's suggestion and decided to join forces with Hollywood giants to study countermeasures.

Turner ordered his men to call their colleagues and invite them to the party.

These peers are coming soon. Gatherings have always been a favorite way for Americans to have delicious food and wine, but at this time, they were not in the mood to enjoy them, but gathered in Turner's office for a meeting.

"Our dear colleagues: Hollywood has always been a world-renowned film center, and no one has ever been able to shake our position. But today, I feel threatened. The technology displayed by Ye Chen's concert far exceeds Our existing special effects production technology will pose an unprecedented threat to Hollywood. I have invited everyone here to discuss with you how to deal with this crisis." Turner expressed his worries with a heavy heart. (To be continued.)
