Chapter 1311
Chapter 1311
With Yu Zhengdao's introduction, Ye Zhiqiu had a much clearer idea about the filming plan of "The Wandering Earth".
The headquarters of "Xugong Group" is in Shangjing, so Ye Zhiqiu decided to strike while the iron was hot and finalize this matter.
But before you go to your home, there are some things you need to prepare.
Two days later, after receiving the news, Huang Shiguang, the general manager of "Shiguangzhiqiu", hurried to Shangjing with three senior painters.
The first sentence he heard when he got into the car that Ye Zhiqiu came to pick him up was.
"I'm planning to make a science fiction movie, and I want to discuss cooperation with a heavy industry machinery group to have them customize and transform the mechanical equipment used for filming."
"I have already written the script. Please help me make the renderings of the equipment according to the requirements to facilitate intuitive communication."
"Science fiction movie?" Huang Shiguang was stunned.
He is also an insider in the industry. Although he specializes in animation, he naturally knows the status of Chinese science fiction films in the current Chinese film market.
It can be said that it has basically no status. Every movie it makes is a flop and it is like box office poison.
So, when he first heard that Ye Zhiqiu was going to make a science fiction film, he was a little confused.
But after working together for so long, he was familiar with Ye Zhiqiu's "unconventional" style, so he was not too surprised and just said.
"The ones we brought here are elites, the best painters in the country. It won't be a problem to make a few renderings."
"But what about the strength of the company we are planning to cooperate with? If the painting is too exaggerated, I am worried that they will not be able to make it."
"It should be no problem." Ye Zhiqiu replied, "'Xugong Group' is said to be one of the world's leading companies in the industry."
When Huang Shiguang heard this, he stopped talking.
Of course he had heard of the name "Xugong Group". He remembered that a news report from the year before last said that the launch platform of a certain rocket in the country was built by them. If they couldn't do it, then probably no other company in the country could do it.
Huang Shiguang and the "Shiguangzhiqiu" team were very efficient and completed the equipment renderings for "The Wandering Earth" in less than a week.
Then, Ye Zhiqiu took the information and visited at the agreed time.
The headquarters of "Xugong Group" is a 50-story modern building. The facade of the building is mainly composed of steel structure and glass curtain wall. The sharp and cold lines have a technological beauty of construction machinery.
Ye Zhiqiu and Huang Shiguang walked into the spacious and bright reception hall, and were immediately greeted by staff who had been prepared and took them to the general manager's office on the top floor.
The CEO of "Xugong Group" is named Xu Jianjun, a middle-aged man with dark skin and a tough and rough face. At first glance, he does not look like the CEO of a large enterprise. If he were not wearing a suit, he would look like an old master tying steel bars on a construction site.
Xu Jianjun's voice was just like his personality, very loud. When he saw Ye Zhiqiu walk in, he looked him up and down, and then his first sentence was.
"Are you the son-in-law of the old Yu family?"
Ye Zhiqiu nodded politely, but before he could say anything, Xu Jianjun cursed.
"Fuck you, he's so handsome, it's not unfair that my son lost."
Seeing Ye Zhiqiu's puzzled expression, he added: "Originally, I wanted my son to marry the daughter of the old Yu family, but he didn't like her, so in the end you snatched her away."
"......" Ye Zhiqiu was speechless, and Huang Shiguang had a strange expression on his face.
There is such a story behind this? Then... can we still talk about this?
"Sit down!" Xu Jianjun waved his hand and asked the two to sit down. He went straight to the point without any nonsense.
"Lao Yu told me about this. I don't know much about movies, so I just asked a question."
"You've made such a big fuss, how much money can this movie make in the end?"
"Not sure." Ye Zhiqiu said honestly, "It's possible to make no profit, or it's possible to lose money."
"There are people who would do something that would make them lose money?" Xu Jianjun looked doubtful. "Are there people in the world who are so stupid?"
Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Of course, if you do well, you may make money."
"But the main reason is that I want to do it. The market for science fiction movies is huge, but it has basically been dominated by foreign films. They think that China can't make good science fiction movies, but I don't think so. I just want to give it a try."
Xu Jianjun did not comment, and then asked: "You can't accomplish anything just by being impulsive. In the end, this world still relies on strength. What if you really lose everything? Will you still do it in the future?"
"It's okay if I lose money." Ye Zhiqiu smiled carefreely and said, "Although it's not a small amount, I can still afford to lose the money for a movie."
"Besides, even if I don't make money, I can still feel good."
"Well said!" After hearing the last sentence, Xu Jianjun slapped his thigh and said loudly: "If you don't make money, you can make a living!"
"I've been fed up with those foreigners for a long time. They always impose export restrictions and technology blockades. They're trying to force us to beg them for mercy."
"Back then I refused to believe it. They refused to give it to me, so I made it myself. Now they are begging me!"
"You are a man of integrity, I like you, I will help you!"
Xu Jianjun acted decisively and quickly. After just a few words, he made a phone call and a technical staff member came in immediately to connect with the person.
After a few brief conversation, Ye Zhiqiu and Huang Shiguang were pleasantly surprised. The reputation of "Xugong Group" as a leader in heavy industrial machinery was well deserved. Most of the requirements raised by Ye Zhiqiu could be met. Some large-scale machinery that ordinary people had never seen and was incredible could even be used directly after being painted.
The matter was settled, and the two sides shook hands. Ye Zhiqiu thanked him and said, "Thank you, Uncle Xu. I will ask the company to draft the contract as soon as possible. As for the cost..."
"No need!" Xu Jianjun said generously, "I love slapping foreigners in the face the most, so just count it as my part!"
Ye Zhiqiu wanted to say something, but Xu Jianjun glared at him and said, "You are from the old Yu family, and you call me Uncle Xu. Can I still accept your money?"
"I don't need to change a few pieces of equipment, so let's do it!"
Seeing the other party's unquestionable look, Ye Zhiqiu could only agree reluctantly.
"Thank you, Uncle Xu. We will include the name of 'Xugong Group' as the supporting unit at the end of the credits."
"If there's anything I can help you with in the future, please feel free to ask, Uncle Xu."
"Oh, right." Xu Jianjun slapped his head and said quickly, "I really need your help with something."
"Do you have any autographed music tapes or something? Give me a few. My kids like them."
"Uh, no problem, I'll give you a set." Ye Zhiqiu said.
As if sensing his confusion, Xu Jianjun grinned, "He's not my son, he's my daughter, she's 23 years old this year, and she's a huge fan of yours."
As he spoke, Xu Jianjun slapped his thigh in annoyance.
"Oh, yes, my daughter likes you, and you are also a capable guy. It would be nice if you could meet someone who would be my son-in-law sooner rather than later!"
"That guy Lao Yu robbed us again!"
Ye Zhiqiu: "..."
