Hua Xia had a saying, "Good things come in pairs." When "Valiant Heroes" was sweeping the box office all over the world, Dream Special Effects finally made a breakthrough and successfully developed a new special effects technology.
Wu Hao was sobbing on the phone and was full of praises for Zhang Yuan.
It turned out that the last hurdle was solved by Zhang Yuan and the others, and it took them less than two days to find a solution.
Wu Hao was full of admiration for Zhang Yuan's talent and ability.
After Xiao Yunhai received the news, he quickly came to the company. After Wu Hao's detailed explanation, Xiao Yunhai was very satisfied with the new special effects technology.
Compared to Magic City's special effects, the degree of realism was 97%, and the work efficiency was increased by 60%. The work that would have taken a year to complete now only took four months.
What was this? This was all money.
Xiao Yunhai had Wu Hao gather all of the company's more than 110 technicians in a conference room to hold a commendation meeting.
Xiao Yunhai said, "After everyone's tireless efforts, Dream Special Effects has finally achieved great success. Do you know what this means? This means that we have the foundation to become the world's number one special effects company. "
"Now, we have enough technicians and the most advanced special effects technology. The world's number one is already in our bag."
"Yeah, that's great."
"We are the world's number one."
Everyone was excited, and the conference room was filled with applause.
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand and said, "The company has achieved such a big breakthrough, so naturally, our personal income will also have a breakthrough. From today onwards, all the employees of Dream Special Effects will have their salaries and bonuses doubled, and everyone will be rewarded 100,000 yuan. The technicians of Magic Visual Effects who came to help will be rewarded 50,000 USD each, but their salaries will remain the same. "
"That's great, 100,000 yuan is enough for me to buy a good car."
"Double the salary and bonus? God, doesn't that mean I can get 12,000 yuan?"
"Yun Huang is Yun Huang, so generous."
With the stimulation of money, the applause in the conference room was even louder.
Xiao Yunhai continued, "It's not over yet. I will give everyone 10 days off, and they will be divided into 3 groups. You can bring your family or girlfriends to Hainan for the holiday. The company will be responsible for the air tickets and accommodation expenses. "
"However, after returning, everyone will once again enter the research and development work. I'm sure all of you already know that I invited Zhang Yuan, a top student from Tsinghua University, to be in charge of researching 3D film technology. They had been working on it for almost a year and were not far from success. You must cooperate with him well. I can guarantee that once this technology is developed, it will become our company's patent. Your salary and bonuses will be raised to another level. Each of you will be rewarded with 200,000 yuan. This is my promise. Do you all understand? "
"Understood."
Everyone said excitedly.
Xiao Yunhai said, "Alright, let's adjourn."
After everyone left, Xiao Yunhai said to Wu Hao, "Hao 'zi, hurry up and organize the materials. Let's apply for a patent. In a few days, the people from the Patent Association will come down to check it. Is that okay? "
Wu Hao said solemnly, "Don't worry, Boss Xiao. I guarantee that there won't be any problems. By the way, Zhang Yuan and the others have helped us so much. Shouldn't we give them some rewards? "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Then give each of them 20,000 yuan as a reward. If we give them too much, it will be unfair to our people. "
Wu Hao said with a face full of admiration, "Boss Xiao, I'm really impressed by this Student Zhang Yuan you found. Whether it is his work ability or his work attitude, I admit that I'm not as good as him. These days, they have been eating and living in the office. They haven't gone out. "
Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "Tell them to pay attention to their health. If something happens to these students, I won't be able to explain it to Tsinghua University's Principal Gu. "
Wu Hao nodded and said, "I understand."
Xiao Yunhai said, "Alright, I'll go back first. How long will it take you to prepare the materials? "
Wu Hao said, "It can be done by tonight."
Xiao Yunhai said, "When it comes to patents, it's better to do it sooner rather than later. I'll come to you tomorrow morning."
The next day, the two of them went to the Hua Xia Patent Association and handed a large stack of materials to the staff.
That afternoon, Xiao Yunhai brought the materials and flew to the World Patent Association in New York.
Everything was done. All that was left was to wait for the Patent Association's reply.
Xiao Yunhai didn't stay in New York for long. Instead, he took a plane to the Magic Visual Effects Laboratory and met with Daniel.
"Daniel, let me tell you a piece of good news. Our new special effects technology has been successfully developed and is waiting for the Patent Association's approval. The simulation is 97% and the efficiency has increased by 60%. Our position as the world's number one has been established. "
When Daniel heard that, he jumped up excitedly and said, "Boss, that's great."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "I'll call you in a few days. When the time comes, send a group of people to learn it. This is a brand new technology. It will take at least a month to fully understand it. "
Daniel nodded and said, "I understand."
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Is there any big news in Hollywood recently?"
Daniel said, "Yes. The eight big Hollywood film companies have been sued. "
"Sued the eight big companies?" Xiao Yunhai asked in surprise, "Who has the guts to do that? What's the reason? "
Daniel said, "The plaintiffs are all the small and medium-sized film companies in Hollywood. The reason is monopoly."
It turned out that the reason why the eight big Hollywood film companies could become giants was because they had the ability to produce and distribute movies.
The other small and medium-sized film companies didn't have their own theaters and couldn't distribute movies. After they finished filming, they could only ask the eight big companies to help them screen the movie.
Although the international distribution standard for movies was that the producer would get 43% and the distributor would get 57%, in reality, the producer wouldn't get that much money. If they wanted others to agree to screen their movie, they would have to give them a commission. Some small companies could even give them 15% of the profits.
For a movie that grossed hundreds of millions at the box office, it would be very good if the small and medium-sized film companies could get 30 million. Over time, which company could bear it?
In recent years, the entertainment industry had developed rapidly. Many rich people had entered the industry with huge sums of money. According to statistics, more than 30 film companies had been established in Hollywood in just two years.
Faced with the pressure of the eight big film companies, these rich people wouldn't be polite. They gathered together and discussed for a while. Then, they spent a huge sum of money to hire the three most powerful law firms in America. They directly sued the eight big film companies in the name of monopolizing the distribution of movies and destroying the development of the industry.
In fact, such an incident had happened in the 1950s in his previous life. The final result was that the eight big film companies were forced to sell their theaters under the anti-monopoly law.
In this world, it was a full 50 years later than the original.
This incident didn't involve Xiao Yunhai at all. Because he only owned 10% of Universal Cinemas and 5% of Paramount Cinemas, the anti-monopoly law couldn't find him at all.
However, he could still benefit from it.
Universal Cinemas and Paramount Cinemas couldn't satisfy his movie needs because the two combined didn't cover half of America.
If he could have theaters that covered America or even the entire North America, then it would be a great success.
For Xiao Yunhai, he didn't need the control of the cinemas. As long as he had the right to speak in the cinemas and didn't interfere with the screening of his movies, that would be enough.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai said to Daniel, "Do you think they can win?"
Daniel said, "The whole of America knows that the eight big film companies will definitely lose. It's obvious at a glance. Everyone is saying that Hollywood will soon enter a chaotic situation where the heroes compete for hegemony. Without the cinemas, the eight big film companies will be in a very big predicament. "
Xiao Yunhai said, "Then when will the verdict be handed down?"
Daniel thought for a while and said, "It should be less than a week. Even if the eight big film companies want to delay the verdict, the rich people behind those companies won't give them the chance. In comparison, these people have deeper connections. The only uncertainty is how the court will decide. "
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said with a smile, "I'm quite interested in their cinemas."
