Chapter 491: What a Great Cooperation Between Father and Daughter
Go play on the side...
Mr. Yang would rather let them play while waiting for the wrap-up party than let them work?
Several people looked at each other, and finally had to obey and watch Mr. Yang walk to the crew.
The director who happened to be taking a break also saw Yang Ruoqian and greeted him politely.
"Mr. Yang, what do you want?"
Facing this big boss who controls half of the domestic entertainment industry, even well-known directors will be polite.
Many directors naturally think of the subject matter, make their own plans for filming, and set up their own teams to shoot... But there are also cases like Kuiguang Group, where the investors provide some resources, inspiration and subject matter, and then find reliable directors to shoot.
With the successful experience of many directors, people in the industry now tacitly agree that almost every movie under Kuiguang Group can be successful - as long as the director himself does not mess around.
Moreover, this kind of success is not a small success, but a big success with huge influence.
An Zhou and Guo Fan, who have worked with Kuiguang Group, now have dazzling resumes - the numbers on them are often billions, and the box office is always popular around the world.
Just relying on two or three movies, a second- or third-tier director can directly become a big name in the industry!
Who else would not come to shoot?
In order to shoot the movie "Redeemer", I don't know how many directors broke their heads to squeeze in.
"Nothing, just come to see the progress." Yang Ruoqian laughed, "This movie involves many related industries, and there is a long way to go."
After saying this, Mr. Yang couldn't help but complain about his current words and deeds in his heart.
Why is he becoming more and more like a big leader?
In fact, when talking to acquaintances, good friends, and even colleagues like secretaries, Yang Ruoqian is more relaxed and often jokes seriously.
Unfortunately, when he was desperately trying to lose money, he suddenly looked back and found that he had unconsciously mastered half of the entertainment industry.
Even if Yang Ruoqian just stood there, everyone who came up had to smile carefully, and there was no room for jokes.
"The special effects are almost done now, but there are still some imperfections. You can't bear to watch it, Mr. Yang." The director immediately understood what the big boss meant. He nodded and explained, "But the promotional video is about to come out. I'll ask my people to send it to you later?"
Now that the filming of the movie is nearing the end, the publicity work is also very easy. Almost all the audiences have the highest expectations for this movie.
No one has ever let artificial intelligence play the role of artificial intelligence in a movie before!
"Okay, just release it on the entire network." Yang Ruoqian nodded and agreed, "You spread it first, and take me to see how Luo Ruying makes a movie."
As Luo Ruying's father, he has never seen Luo Ruying make a movie.
This is not the previous movies, where AI villains are synthesized with special effects... Luo Ruying is real!
"Luo Ruqin's image is ever-changing." The director smiled, "and she appears in the form of a command center. In the movie setting, her body is actually very fragile... I'll take you to see it."
While introducing, the director took Yang Ruoqian to a large room full of advanced equipment and holographic projectors.
Not far away, a shadow wearing sci-fi armor floated in the air, looking down on everything.
"Who is coming...ah, it's the boss, you come to me, you come to me, do you want some tea?"
Yang Ruoqian ignored Luo Ruqin, but turned to look at the director, expressionlessly asked: "Is this her image in the movie?"
For some reason, a little cold sweat oozed from the director's forehead, and he immediately explained: "No, no, this is actually an abandoned case, but Luo Ruqin wants to keep it... During her rest time, she always plays with those abandoned cases by herself."
Playing with abandoned cases by herself...
She's really a spirit, right?
"That's OK..." Yang Ruoqian looked at the long and sophisticated equipment, and was quite satisfied in his heart - compared with special effects, the cost of making this pile of equipment is much higher.
And the effect presented on the big screen is not much different from using special effects to cover the face.
Except for his cyber daughter in strange clothes, he is quite satisfied.
"Okay, then I'll go first. You take care of Luo Ruqin and don't let her get into trouble." Yang Ruoqian said, declined the director's invitation to keep him for dinner, and turned to leave the theater.
Just after taking two steps, Yang Ruoqian suddenly saw two familiar figures barely getting rid of the persistent reporters outside and hurried to the set.
That was Cheng Fei and her assistant.
"Boss Cheng? So anxious?" Yang Ruoqian greeted, "What happened?"
Now Cheng Fei is trying to set up its own theaters in several key cities. It is the busiest and most expensive stage. Any small favor is astronomical.
Just helping a little can alleviate the financial pressure of this quarter.
Cheng Fei shook her head and smiled, "Nothing happened, I was just very busy. I've been to the set quite a few times during this period."
Although Chengyu Media did not participate in the filming of "Redeemer", it was a theater chain with deep cooperation after all, so she still got the qualification to enter the set and connect with the crew as much as possible.
"Okay..."
Disappointed, Yang Ruoqian turned around and tried to leave, but Cheng Fei suddenly stopped him from behind: "Wait, Mr. Yang, I have something to talk to you about. Our design team has designed a plan. Can we watch it with the promotional video later?"
Yang Ruoqian, who was just about to go back to the company to play games and had nothing else to do, thought about it and agreed: "Okay."
Kuiguang Group has not yet made any layout in the cinema line. Chengyu Media and Kuiguang Group currently have only one cooperation project, which is the cinema on the cruise ship.
Cheng Fei stopped him, which should be related to the cinema.
"Okay, wait a moment, I'll come over after I finish coordinating the work over there."
After that, Cheng Fei hurriedly went to find the director of "The Redeemer".
Yang Ruoqian looked at the reporters outside, gave them an apologetic smile, and returned to the crew's lounge, sitting with those employees who no longer had roles but were forcibly detained.
More than ten minutes later, Cheng Fei came to the lounge quickly with a document in his hand.
"Boss Yang, have you received the original trailer for Redeemer?" Cheng Fei found an empty room, took the laptop from the assistant, and put it on the table.
"I received it, but I haven't watched it yet." Yang Ruoqian nodded, "Is what you want to say related to this trailer?"
"Yes." Cheng Fei took out a USB flash drive from the file and connected it to the laptop, "I have an idea for the cinema, Boss Yang, take a look at the renderings made by our designer."
Yang Ruoqian immediately became interested - there are other new things in Chengyu Cinema on the cruise ship?
He had seen the photos taken by the staff on the ship before. To be honest, it was really amazing and luxurious. The entire cinema was in the garden square in the center of the cruise ship. From the outside, it was a huge semi-sphere. The overall style was also extremely matched with the theme of the cruise ship, with beauty and technology coexisting.
But this is not the final form?
There are still masters?
Yang Ruoqian's interest was aroused: "I'm looking forward to it."
"But... Mr. Yang, my idea may require a little cooperation from you." Cheng Fei said calmly, "Don't worry, all the expenses will be borne by the cinema."
A luxury cruise ship, the ticket is not all-inclusive.
The ticket price includes many entertainment projects, but there are also some high-cost entertainment projects and specialty restaurants that require payment to enjoy.
For example, the sea roller coaster, and the cinema.
After all, these projects are expensive and too popular, and they can only accommodate a few tourists at a time. If they are set to be free, the system will not allow it, and it will cause large-scale congestion.
In addition, the cinema on the cruise ship is originally a loss-making advertising behavior in Cheng Fei's plan.
It is not a problem to spend more money to build a reputation.
"It's too polite to say that." When Yang Ruoqian heard that the expenses could be covered, he immediately rejected Cheng Fei's idea of eating up the costs alone, "Mr. Cheng, please share your ideas."
"Since we plan to premiere "Redeemer" on the cruise ship, why not make it more grand?" Cheng Fei opened a file on the computer, "Mr. Yang, please take a look at the movie's trailer and style first."
After that, the screen of the "Redeemer" trailer appeared on the computer screen.
What came into view was the scene of the sea.
Several sci-fi aircraft carriers were leading the fleet towards the sea base where the protagonists were located.
Fighter planes were flying, submarines were cruising... and so on, everything attracted the audience in front of the screen.
And, unlike movies that particularly emphasize personal heroism, these advanced warships and aircraft did not "fly on the face of the dragon" and did not fly over the protagonists with iron bombs for low-altitude bombing, but directly carried out a covering beyond-visual-range strike.
The earth-shaking sound when the super-high-speed missile dragged the gorgeous tail flame and hit the ground made Yang Ruoqian, who often played 3A games and watched special effects movies, open his eyes unconsciously.
The shocking scene of the ocean and the flames intertwined together brought people a visual impact that was no less than the space elevator in "Wandering Blue Planet 2".
There are not many movie themes of such large-scale naval battles, and with the addition of elements such as the future and AI, it is even rarer.
Science fiction naval battles, just thinking about it makes people excited.
"The special effects are well done." Yang Ruoqian looked at it and couldn't help but start to estimate how much money these special effects would cost.
For scenes like this, the cost is calculated by the second.
After the ocean war, on land and in the sky, there were fierce battles between humans and AI armies...
"Mr. Yang, my idea is on the point of 'naval battle'." Cheng Fei stared at the screen and said word by word, "Since the movie is about naval battles, and it accounts for a large proportion, and our cruise ship is operating at sea, why not add some sense of substitution and special effects?"
Yang Ruoqian seemed to understand what Cheng Fei meant: "You mean, when the movie is playing, we can let the cruise ship also play a role in the naval battle, so that the entire cruise ship is in an 'immersive' state?"
"Yes!" Cheng Fei nodded, affirming Yang Ruoqian's statement, "The hemisphere of Chengyu Cinema is not only a wall, but also a piece of high-definition screen. Special effects can be added, and the scenery outside the cruise ship can be seen from inside the cinema."
"The cinema itself can accommodate a limited number of viewers, but we can use some external equipment to let tourists on the deck see special effects, especially at night..."
"The sea view restaurant located below the waterline can also produce submarine special effects, which emphasizes the theme of the ship to tourists all the time."
The cost of such a set is bound to be terrifyingly high. Even if the cinema on the ship is full, the box office revenue is difficult to make up for the operating and maintenance costs of so many equipment.
But as long as this model is developed, the gimmick that only on the "Liuguang" can you perfectly experience a movie will be out.
Similarly, the popularity of other Chengyu cinemas will be immediately improved.
Moreover, these equipment are not disposable. As long as there are movies with ocean themes in the future, Liuguang can tailor special effects for these movies.
Yang Ruoqian was happier the more he listened. He didn't even wait for Cheng Fei to finish and made a decision directly: "I think it's feasible! I will ask the purchasing department to buy the relevant equipment immediately."
Cheng Fei nodded subconsciously: "Okay..."
However, she noticed something was wrong and asked: "Boss Yang, wait... This is my idea. The whole set of equipment is basically designed around the cinema. It is reasonable to let Cheng Yu pay for this expense."
Why is Boss Yang rushing to pay the bill like he did at dinner?
After finally finding another hole for expenses, Boss Yang refused to give in: "Why are you talking about this? I will build my own ship."
Cheng Fei rubbed her forehead: "But... You can't buy these equipment in such a short time. We have already booked them with the manufacturer in advance."
Yang Ruoqian said without hesitation: "This is simple, just deduct it from your berth fee. If I charge less for the berth fee of the cinema, isn't it the same as if I spent it?"
Cheng Fei: "..."
She looked around subconsciously and suddenly saw Luo Ruqin hiding and eavesdropping.
It was about his new equipment and his big ship, so it was natural for him to eavesdrop.
"Xiao Luo, come and persuade your father."
Luo Ruqin, who was caught, did not hide, and immediately came out, asking blankly: "What to persuade?"
Cheng Fei said: "Didn't you just hear it? It's about the theater equipment. Hurry up and persuade him."
If this business continues like this, Cheng Yu will owe Kui Guang a lot more.
Luo Ruqin suddenly realized, gave Cheng Fei an expression of "leave it all to me", looked at Yang Ruoqian, and begged coquettishly: "Boss, I want that, buy it for me! Buy it for me!"
Cheng Fei, who had just breathed a sigh of relief, was almost choked: "???"
For the first time, Mr. Yang felt that this rebellious son was not completely useless, and immediately agreed to it: "Okay, I'll buy it, that's it!" (End of this chapter)
