The next day, Xiao Yunhai and Zhao Wanqing played in Hangzhou until four in the afternoon before taking a plane back to Beijing.
On April 12th, Xiao Yunhai brought the edited version of "Langya Board" to Los Angeles International Airport.
The person who came to pick him up was the person in charge of Magic Visual Effects, Daniel.
"Boss, welcome to Hollywood."
He opened his arms and hugged Xiao Yunhai.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Daniel, how's Magic City recently?"
Daniel smiled and said, "It's very good. Ever since the boss gave us a raise, everyone's enthusiasm for work has increased, and our work efficiency has increased exponentially. The work that used to take a month to complete can now be completed in less than 20 days. I believe that if this continues, we will definitely become the world's number one special effects company. "
Xiao Yunhai patted Daniel's shoulder and said, "That day will come soon."
After the two of them got into the car, Xiao Yunhai asked, "Daniel, have you studied my special effects proposal? What's the fastest time it will take? "
Daniel said, "Boss, according to the special effects proposal you sent us, we can complete it in less than 20 days."
Xiao Yunhai said in surprise, "How can it be so fast?"
Daniel said, "First of all, it's not difficult to make your special effects shots. Most of them can be completed with special effects software. Basically, you don't need any special props. Secondly, I've arranged a team of 90 people for you. They're divided into nine groups, and each group is responsible for a part of it. They're all very skilled technicians and are very capable. I guarantee that they can quickly and well produce a scene that you'll be satisfied with. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "With so many people doing special effects for me, it won't affect other work, right?"
Daniel shook his head and said, "No, it won't. Boss, in the past month, other than the 500 million USD order that you brought us, we haven't received any orders. What we're doing now is basically the same work as before. If this goes on, I'm afraid we won't have any more orders to take in less than half a year. "
Xiao Yunhai frowned and asked in surprise, "Why did this happen? How are the other special effects rooms? "
Daniel said, "I got someone to investigate and found that almost all the special effects rooms are facing this problem. For some reason, those film and television production companies seemed to have suddenly closed down, and very few of them were planning new shows. A few days ago, I met Mr. Kree. He said that the economy of the United States is very bad. There is news from Wall Street that there may be a financial crisis. "
"Financial crisis? It's that serious. "Xiao Yunhai said," Did Chris say what the probability of it happening is? "
Daniel shook his head and said, "He didn't. In fact, every three to five years, Hollywood would receive such news. Except for the one in 1981, nothing had happened. After this gust of wind passes, it should be fine. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "There is a saying in Hua Xia that goes, 'Wind from an empty cave may not be without cause.' Daniel, if a financial crisis really happens, how big of an impact will it have on Magic Visual Effects? "
Daniel said, "It will be a disaster. When that happens, all the film and television production companies will cut back on their expenses, and their plans for film and television series will be completely put on hold. We won't have any work to do, so naturally, we won't have any income. Boss, Magic Visual Effects has a total of more than 1,200 people. If this problem happens, we will have to make a lot of layoffs. Otherwise, we won't be able to support so many people. "
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Daniel, you are completely wrong. If we want Magic Visual Effects to become the world's number one, the most important thing is special effects technology and special effects technicians. In terms of special effects technology, we have dozens of patents. As long as other companies don't develop new technology, there won't be any problems. "
"But our company is very lacking in skilled special effects technicians. The future is the world of special effects. 1,200 people won't be able to satisfy the needs of all the entertainment companies in the world. If an economic crisis really happens, most of the small and medium-sized special effects companies won't be able to survive, and a lot of special effects technicians will lose their jobs. When that happens, we just need to recruit them and sign a ten-year contract. Once the economic crisis is over, don't you think we can become the world's number one? "
Daniel said, "But Boss, don't forget that we won't be able to take on many jobs. We won't be able to support so many idle people."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Daniel, I also have a special effects company in Hua Xia called Dream Special Effects Imaging Company. If Hollywood can't support us, then I will bring everyone to Hua Xia. The special effects industry there is still in its infancy. Once we go, we will definitely be welcomed by all the major film and television companies in Hua Xia. I think the economic crisis in America won't have much of an impact on Hua Xia. "
Daniel looked excited and said, "Boss, if that's really the case, then that's great. But I'm worried that Mr. Kree and Mr. Thomas won't agree. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "They have no choice. When the time is right, I will buy Thomas's 22% shares. As for Kree, he's my friend. I will have a good talk with him. "
Daniel said happily, "Boss, you're really amazing. Ever since I heard the news from Mr. Kree, I haven't been able to eat or sleep well these days. I was afraid that the economic crisis would erupt after I woke up. Now, I'm really relieved. "
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Don't worry, Daniel. In a few years, you will become the person in charge of the world's number one special effects company."
Daniel said, "I'm looking forward to that day."
The car soon stopped in front of the Magic Visual Effects building. Xiao Yunhai's arrival was warmly welcomed by the staff.
It was definitely a very good thing for them to have such a generous boss.
In the afternoon, Xiao Yunhai began to work on the special effects of Lang Ya's List.
At the shooting site of Witness in Hong Kong, Director Du Feng and Zhao Wanqing were talking. Sitting next to them was a 27-year-old man, who was the male lead of the movie, Guan Rui.
Du Feng looked at Zhao Wanqing and frowned, "Miss Zhao, you're an actress. It's normal for you to shoot a bed scene."
Zhao Wanqing said, "Director Du, I don't understand why you have to add a bed scene."
Du Feng explained patiently, "In the movie, you and the male lead are boyfriend and girlfriend. Adding a bed scene is to show the intimate relationship between you two. Is it difficult to understand?"
Du Feng was the director of Changfeng Film and Television. He was very hot-tempered. If it weren't for Zhao Wanqing's special identity, he would have already scolded her.
Zhao Wanqing said, "Director Du, this is a police film, not a romantic film. I don't think that adding a bed scene in this place would improve the film much. More importantly, except for my husband, I won't shoot a bed scene with any other actor. I won't even shoot a kissing scene. "
