Guo Fan also talked about the situation on his side.
Good works require time to polish, which is what we call slow work and fine work.
Xia Yu is different this time. The new project has only two protagonists, a man and a woman, plus a Doraemon. The shooting period can be as short as "Gravity".
Group dramas like "The Wandering Earth 2" are not suitable because too many aspects need to be planned and coordinated, so they still have the advantage.
"23 years? I'll be almost 30 by then. Old Guo, you're really slow."
Xia Yu complained on the phone.
It was a bit difficult for him to become the richest man in the world in 23 years, but it should be no problem for him to become the richest man in China.
The two chatted for a while before hanging up the phone. Xia Yu sat back at his desk and looked at the budget sheet in front of him, lost in thought.
The initial budget of the project was between 350 million and 400 million yuan, which is a little less than "The Wandering Earth", but definitely enough for "Death on Mars".
The bulk of the money will be spent on the construction of the physical scenes and a large number of special effects shots in the later stage. No matter how high the salary is, it will only be for two people and a dubbing teacher.
This amount of money is definitely not enough in the company's account, so Xia Yu has to continue to inject capital. It was not until now that he had time to take stock of his funds.
Excluding the portion entrusted to Xia Capital, Xia Yu has received a total of US$1.05 billion in signing salary since he was upgraded to Level 18 on August 7 last year.
Adding up what was originally left and subtracting what was spent and invested during this period, the total amount of funds that can be directly mobilized from his foreign currency accounts and domestic accounts is 630 million US dollars.
If we take out a small amount from it and add it to the money earned from the sale of the two TV series, it would be enough to make a whole movie. However, Xia Yu signed in this morning and signed out another season gift package.
He already has three 30-day acceleration cards and one 90-day acceleration card. Should he just use the acceleration card from this season signing gift package?
Xia Yu is not short of money, but he is short of time. The next signing gift package is 2002 days. Without the help of the acceleration card, it will take him 22 years to get this reward, which is too long.
It would be good to use one now, even if it reduces 30 days. The remaining acceleration cards can be used when he reaches Lv19. Thinking of this, he glanced at the experience value column.
[Upgrade Experience: 2.615 billion]
It will cost another 2.4 billion to upgrade, and the road to promotion is long and arduous!
Xia Yu switched back to the card package interface and tapped the gift package to open it.
[Reward: 30-day acceleration card × 1]
[Note: Special card (dark gold), can only be obtained through the season gift pack, the probability of obtaining is 25%.]
[Effect: Click to use to directly obtain the current level's 30-day sign-in reward amount, a monthly sign-in gift pack, and shorten the time to obtain the next consecutive sign-in gift pack by 30 days.]
Well, it really is a 30-day acceleration card. I don’t feel bad about using it, so Xia Yu directly chooses to use it.
"Ding, your card with the last digit 0607 received a payment of 900,000,000 yuan from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China at 9:46 on March 27th, with a balance of 1,905,019,410.52 yuan. [Industrial and Commercial Bank of China]"
After receiving 900 million yuan, Xia Yu transferred 300 million yuan to the public account of Xia's Film.
This is considered as money lent to him by the company, and he will have to pay it back when he makes money. However, as long as the money is spent effectively, the system will still calculate the experience points.
The system is relatively simple to operate but very intelligent in terms of risk control. Xia Yu has only figured out some of the rules so far.
Financial investment does not count as experience, but experience in physical investment is calculated based on different situations. For example, buying a house today and selling it tomorrow definitely does not count, but the two townhouses next to the school do.
All signs indicate that the system does not encourage bugs.
Xia Yu’s understanding of this is that the rich can be cunning, but they must never be greedy.
As a super-rich man, the thing he has the most is money, so it is really unacceptable that he would still be greedy for petty profits of tens of millions or hundreds of millions.
Along with the money, a one-month signing gift pack was also received. Last month, he had done a 10-draw monthly pack, but his luck was a bit bad. He only drew one special buff, and the other 9 were all blank cards.
There are still 3 monthly gift packs left in the card pack. I will wait until I have 10 before drawing. It’s boring to draw now.
After putting away the phone, the office door suddenly opened and Yin Suya walked in.
This was originally the office of the senior student. Xia Yu was used to using other people's offices, so this time when he came to help, he naturally occupied half of the office.
"Senior, what's going on?"
"The exterior location has been tentatively decided to be Dachai in Hehai. This is the actual set of the space station and scientific research station. The production of various props is very problematic."
The Hongya area of Daxiadan in the Hehai Lake has a typical Yardang landform, just like the Wadi Rum Desert where "The Martian" was filmed. Combined with CG technology, it can perfectly simulate the terrain of Mars.
Props and scenery are indeed a problem. You can’t buy the same ones on Taobao, so they can only be made by hand.
Xia Yu heard from Guo Fan that "The Wandering Earth" produced tens of thousands of props, most of which were made by themselves. The military exoskeleton armor with higher technical content could only be produced by well-known studios in the industry, which achieved the ideal effect.
"Take it slow for now. If it gets really difficult, I'll find a way."
Xia Yu’s job is to solve problems, and this is not a big problem for him. Isn’t the material processing center of the Hive Base dozens of times stronger than those studios?
Of course, Xia’s Pictures cannot sit idle. It must slowly learn to solve problems on its own and accumulate more experience.
The two then talked about their respective work progress, and Xia Yu prepared to go to the Xintiandi headquarters.
"By the way, Senior, we're leaving on April 10th. I'll pick you up then?"
