"Director Wu, this is the script that President Xu prepared for you. Please take a look and see if there are any problems."
If there are no problems, I'll arrange for someone to set up the production crew for you, and filming can begin.
Feng Xiaoxia, the chief producer of Daxu Culture, handed a script to Wu Leilei, who had just joined Daxu Culture, while smiling and saying this.
Looking at the script in his hand, Wu Leilei looked surprised.
After all, he just joined Daxu Culture, how come he already has projects to shoot so quickly?
And the script was written by President Xu himself, isn't that amazing?
Wu Leilei originally thought that after joining Daxu Culture, he would have to be observed for at least a few months before he would have some small scripts to choose from.
But now it seems that President Xu is even more generous than I imagined; the script has already been prepared for me as soon as I joined.
"Thank you, Producer Feng. I'll take a look at the script first. Oh, and please thank Mr. Xu for me too!"
Wu Leilei thanked him repeatedly after receiving the script.
After Feng Xiaoxia gave a few more instructions and left, he also began to seriously study the script in his hand.
Upon turning to the first page, Wu Leilei immediately saw the project's name: The Hulk (Science Fiction Movie).
"It's actually a sci-fi movie? That's such a pleasant surprise! I wonder what the plot is like?"
Wu Leilei muttered something to himself, and soon he was immersed in the story.
Time passed slowly, and only when he turned to the last page did Wu Leilei slap his thigh and exclaim: "Great!"
"It's a really good script, with excellent imagination and a decent plot."
For a science fiction director, finding a good science fiction script is certainly something to be happy about.
But Wu Leilei also had some concerns.
After reading the entire script, he realized that filming the Hulk movie wasn't actually that difficult.
For a director like him who has directed numerous science fiction films, this is child's play.
The problem is that to showcase the magic of this film, a lot of special effects are needed.
Even those outside the industry know that special effects production is often the most expensive part of a movie.
"I don't know how much funding Mr. Xu can invest. If the amount is too small, it will be very difficult!"
Thinking of this, Wu Leilei sighed inwardly:
"Because all the scenes in this movie where the character transforms into the Hulk require special effects to complete."
With this in mind, Wu Leilei didn't delay and went straight into Xu Lu's office to explain his purpose.
"invest?"
Looking at Wu Leilei standing in front of him, Xu Lu asked with a smile:
"Director Wu, how much do you think it would cost to make a good film about the Hulk?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Leilei, who had already prepared for what was to come, replied directly:
"Mr. Xu, the filming itself doesn't cost much. If we don't hire big-name stars, we can manage it for under 20 million."
However, if you include post-production special effects, the cost becomes much, much higher; it could easily burn through two hundred million.
Xu Lu nodded upon hearing this and said:
"Director Wu, have you seen the Iron Man movie produced by Da Xu Culture? What did you think of the special effects?"
"Mr. Xu, if we could have special effects like Iron Man, that would be no problem at all."
But... such high-level special effects probably couldn't be achieved even with two hundred million, right?
Wu Leilei took a deep breath and asked in confusion.
This was actually something that puzzled him a lot before, because with his perspective as a science fiction director, he had always praised the special effects of Iron Man.
So how much did Daxu Culture spend on special effects to achieve this effect?
Perhaps, we can finally get the answer from Mr. Xu now!
As Wu Leilei thought this, his eyes lit up.
Unfortunately, Xu Lu on the other end didn't intend to reveal the secret on the spot; he simply smiled and said:
"In that case, I'll invest 20 million in Hulk. Director Wu, you can go ahead and make the film without worry."
As for special effects, you don't need to worry about them. Whatever effects you need, we can create them.
Forehead……
Wu Leilei looked disappointed, but seeing that Xu Lu didn't seem inclined to continue, he felt embarrassed to ask any more questions.
Xu Lu, after seeing the other party off, smiled silently.
Since the special effects involved the existence of the artificial intelligence 'Zhenvis', he naturally couldn't reveal it.
Don't think it's just Wu Leilei, the newly joined director, who's curious.
In fact, there are quite a few curious people within Daxu Culture, but no one knows this secret until now.
...
Director Wu Leilei, who recently joined Daxu Culture, immediately took on the science fiction project "Hulk," which quickly caused quite a stir in the industry.
People both inside and outside the industry have been discussing this:
"Daxu Culture has a lot of projects in the pipeline; there are almost four projects being filmed at the same time."
Captain Xia 2, Mr. Psychic, Exorcist Police Officer, and the current sci-fi work, The Hulk…
"You should know that this is only because Director Xu hasn't been working on any projects recently; otherwise, there would be even more."
"The Hulk, it is said, is also a superhero in the 'Great Xu Universe'."
He's similar to Captain Xia and Iron Man; it's just unknown if there are others.
"Just the fact that they are both heroes of the 'Great Xu Universe' makes me a little excited."
...
"Expectations? That Wu Leilei starred in a terrible movie called 'Shanghai Fortress' last time, is that something to look forward to?"
