Chapter 55



Yu Miao watched "The Cultivator" twice, and naturally saw all the special effects scenes in it. She was shocked in the cinema at that time.

But this short video is different from "The Cultivator". What are the specific differences?

Miao couldn't explain it for a while.

Maybe it was because she had just visited the Ten Immortal Palaces.

Maybe because the people in the video were wearing modern clothes, this surprising scene, which was so detailed that it should not appear in a short video, gave her the illusion that "the various rare and exotic animals in the Ten Immortal Palaces really came to life."

Even though I know it’s fake, I still can’t help but admire these scenes, imagining how exciting it would be if they were real.

What should you do if you really like a good-looking technical video? Of course, click on the homepage to find out if there are other similar videos.

In addition to writing that the company's name is Tianying, the introduction also notes that they are a subsidiary of Xingmang Entertainment.

Star Entertainment...

Yu Miao thought the name of the company sounded familiar, and after searching for a while, he remembered that this was the company founded by Sheng Quan. The Xingmang Manor that he had been talking about before should have been derived from the name of Xingmang Entertainment.

She suddenly felt more surprised. Although she could only be considered a casual fan of Sheng Quan, the thought that "there are indeed hidden talents under the people I follow" still gave her a greater sense of identity.

Yu Miao couldn't wait to click "follow" and then watched the few videos one by one.

There are only five videos in total. The first four videos are all standard introductions to the company's business, with slogans that are so rigid that they can't be more rigid, and they try hard to use words to describe the professionalism of their team.

If Yu Miao hadn't watched the fifth video, he would never have given this video a second look. How could it be so self-boasting without showing any real substance, and the tone of the video was so rigid as if it was an advertisement.

Now that she has seen the special effects video, she wondered: Can you advertise? Who would come to you to do business like this? Even though she is a college student who has not yet started working, she knows that advertising is not done this way. Although she just clicked the "follow" button, Yu Miao is already eager to help with some advice.

I feel like I can't bear to see good companies being buried.

Starting from the fourth video, the company began to show its strength, but unfortunately, everything they showed was things that Yu Miao was not interested in.

High-end servers, super expensive work computers, renderers, and workrooms for hundreds of people.

She: ...What's the point of this thing?

She didn't have the energy to complain so she clicked on the comments, only to see that all the comments were full of haha ​​....

[It’s so funny. As a special effects artist, I can tell you responsibly that they are really showing the most valuable and powerful side of the company]

[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, is there anyone who came here from the Top Ten Immortal Palaces video like me?]

[Brother who has white hair on his head, listen to my advice, this is not the way to showcase your company’s business. Just follow the latest video, I guarantee your company will be popular]

[Only those who understand know that this company is really working hard to promote itself]

The comment with the highest number of likes was not the most recent one. The other party obviously had the same idea as Yu Miao and was giving serious suggestions.

[After watching the blogger’s first few videos, I can see that he worked very hard. I am also a special effects artist and I can see how good your company’s equipment is. However, most people don’t understand these things. I suggest that if the blogger wants to promote his own company, he can shoot a special effects video. After all, you are a special effects company, so of course you have to show your special effects strength in order to promote it.]

This comment really touched Yu Miao's heart, and Tianying also responded at that time.

[Okay, thank you very much. Our company's promotion department has not yet recruited anyone. Everyone is a technician and really doesn't know how to promote. Thank you for your suggestions. I will put a special effects video in the next video. Thank you. ]

The person who made the suggestion replied again: [Actually, if you are not in a hurry to promote, you can wait until the promotion department recruits people. Technicians will definitely be overwhelmed doing promotion work.]

Tianying: [(covering face) The head office is holding a competition, and the ranking is based on the popularity of the videos, so we, a bunch of technical geeks, can only bite the bullet and join in]

[Is it mandatory to participate in this competition? I see from your introduction that your company has only been established for a short time. In this case, it is okay not to participate, right? ]

Tianying: [Participation in the competition is not mandatory, but the prize is double your salary for the next three months (shy) and you can also take a paid vacation to see the giant pandas. The company will cover all the travel expenses and tickets. We like giant pandas very much (shy)]

[…Is your company still hiring? I’ll PM you a message]

The exchange of replies between Tianying and this netizen took place five days ago. At that time, the first four videos were probably not very popular, so it was just the two of them who were talking.

But now the heat is on!

You know, when Yu Miao saw the video of [Top Ten Immortal Palace Special Effects], the number of replies to it had already exceeded ten thousand.

Apparently, there are many netizens who are into "archaeology" like her.

There are already more than a thousand comments below this conversation from five days ago.

[After reading the Top Ten Asgardian Special Effects Video, I just want to say that this company is really good at listening to advice]

[When I saw the head office holding a competition, I thought to myself, I hate companies doing this kind of shit. Can you just work hard? I saw that my salary doubled in three months, boss! Are you still hiring? I’m good at editing videos! ]

[Hahahahahaha this guy made me laugh to death, it's too real that he wanted to join the company as soon as he heard about the prizes for the competition]

[By the way, my friend works at Xingmang Entertainment. I asked her and she said it was true. There are screenshots of the rankings on the company’s intranet, and they are updated in real time every day based on the popularity. It is said that before today, this subsidiary that does special effects has always been ranked last, hahahahahahaha]

[Hahahahahahaha, their first four videos were shot like this, it would be strange if they weren’t ranked last, hahahaha]

[It can be seen that they really like giant pandas]

Like these netizens, Yu Miao also enjoys watching the show.

After watching the video, she immediately searched for [Star Competition] and found a lot of related videos.

Whether it's dancing, singing, or shooting video clips, the quality is all very high, and almost everyone who appears on the screen can be considered to be of above average appearance.

The Human Resources Department teaches people how to dress and put on makeup.

The Finance Department shoots various finance-related short clips.

The purchasing department uses various sundries to shoot cross-dressing videos.

The marketing department is worthy of being a marketing department, and they are well aware of the essence of the rapid increase in video popularity.

They first sent out the best-looking handsome men and beautiful women in the department to show off their bodies, and then released photos of themselves when they were fat, sharing their weight loss experiences with everyone, and live-streaming them doing the most popular weight loss exercises to give some motivation to those who were following them.

Other departments also competed with each other, and almost every video was very popular.

Yu Miao had even seen several of the videos and liked them. If she hadn't looked at the inventory now, she wouldn't have known that these high-quality videos actually came from various departments of Xingmang Entertainment.

This is so awesome!

How do every department produce such high-quality works? ! After Yu Miao posted this comment, someone quickly replied to her: [Not every department is so awesome. Look at Tianying next door who does special effects. Hahahahahaha, if it weren’t for the suggestions from netizens, they would still be obsessed with shooting the server.]

Tianying became a little famous.

This special effects company, with its funny video-making method of "technicians making videos to participate in competitions", was quickly circulated among netizens.

Along with [Tianying who can’t promote], [Xingmang Entertainment with many talented people] is also popular.

In particular, no one knew which department started it, but gradually, everyone started to secretly brag about their company's chairman, Sheng Quan, in their entries.

"Look at this makeup, it's done like this, isn't it so beautiful that it can instantly stun everyone? Will our boss be instantly stunned? Our boss won't be instantly stunned, our boss is so beautiful!"

"The clothes, shoes and bags used in today's photo shoot for the Rich Man series were all provided free of charge by our boss Sheng! Love you!"

"Why is our company's gym so big? Of course it's because our boss is beautiful and kind-hearted! She also likes to come here to work out. Hey hey hey! Just in time to come and see how good our boss's figure is!"

The majority of netizens were delighted to see this large-scale act of flattery and some even joined in.

Some people are puzzled: [What's the fun in this kind of flattery? I hate flattering the boss the most! ]

Someone immediately replied to him: [We are not keen on flattering the boss, we are keen on flattering relatives

[Why? Because our company, let alone participating in competitions, has to pay for costumes for performances at the annual meeting. The most we can get is a mobile phone, which needs to be shared by a bunch of people. Look at the Star Mang competition, where all the equipment for filming, props, etc. can be borrowed from the company, and the prizes are divided into first prize to fifth prize. The first prize winner's monthly salary will be doubled for three months. Tell me, if you meet such a good boss, can you resist praising him? ]

This reply was directly pushed to the top of the list, and everyone expressed their agreement.

[Our boss watched the video yesterday and said, why are the employees in other companies so talented? I rolled my eyes in my heart. Even if he doesn't exploit me so much and doesn't pay me for overtime, I promise I can show him how talented I am.]

[Wow... The last time I paid attention to Xingmang Entertainment was when it was just established. Is it so big now? ]

[Upstairs, the chairman of Xingmang is Sheng Quan, how can the scale not be large? ]

[Speaking of which, Sheng Quan seems to like surfing the Internet a lot. She will watch all the videos of these employees, right? If she sees a really good one, will she give a reward or something? Has she given a reward to the original work of "The Road of Life" before? ]

Sheng Quan, who was watching videos and saw this comment, could answer honestly: She would.

The most fundamental purpose of this [company competition] is to launch the subsidiary Tianying. Whether at home or abroad, if a special effects company wants to attract customers, the best way is to advertise.

Even for some well-known special effects companies, every blockbuster movie in which they participate in the special effects production is equivalent to their advertisement.

So sometimes, some special effects companies would rather lose money than take on a blockbuster project, just to let this blockbuster show how powerful their company's special effects technology is.

However, now is the Internet age, and short videos are rampant. Before the big projects that Tianying participated in producing are released, using short videos to promote them is a very good idea.

Although it will cost money in the early stages, Sheng Quan is least afraid of spending money.

[Star Competition] is one part of the promotion. No matter where it is, special effects that are so explosive that every frame seems to cost money are definitely an eye-catching presence. As long as it appears, it will definitely gain popularity.

Of course, in the entertainment age, along with technology, there has to be some buzz.

So, the topic of [How technicians participate in the competition] came up.

Compared to "the participating subsidiary released a special effects video, and the shocking special effects scenes instantly made them win the first prize."

The audience prefers to see "a technician showing off his own server hardware and software equipment in the competition, occupying the last place for many days, and only after being reminded by netizens did he make a special effects video and jumped to the first place."

The sense of participation, the sense of fun, the sense of counterattack, and the technician character are all present.

Next, Tianying only needs to release one eye-catching special effects video after another.

They will bring all kinds of topics with them.

[What kind of video will the technicians make for promotion? Hahahahahaha, they look so proud when they introduce this server! ]

[It's so funny. Anyone who has worked on special effects knows how time-consuming it is. As a result, Tianying can be called very productive. After discovering that other departments were trying to curry favor with the boss, they immediately followed suit. It's clear that they really like pandas.]

[Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!]

[Although the technicians are not good at promotion, the special effects are really good! ! Wow! I think it can catch up with the special effects of foreign blockbusters! ]

[There will probably be many movies that will ask Tianying to do the special effects. This quality is perfect for special effects blockbusters! ]

It is true that some film companies have already contacted Tianying.

Most of the special effects artists in the company were once members of the Mirage team. When they were invited by Tan Hongguang, they thought carefully for a long time before coming here.

No one expected that Tianying would become famous so quickly.

The technicians really don’t know how to do promotion, and every action they take is completed under the guidance of people sent by the head office.

Then, it was just like a dream. The company suddenly became so popular just by posting a few special effects videos on the short video platform.

Just when everyone was rejoicing, Tan Hongguang turned down the film company that had prepared sufficient funds after several contacts.

The others were very puzzled. If it had happened in the previous mirage, they would have grabbed it like a life-saving straw.

"The cycle they requested is too short. Director Sheng has said that quality is everything to us at Tianying. If we can't reach an agreement on this, we can just reject it directly."

Tan Hongguang still had white hair on his head, but his whole spirit was different. At this moment, he smiled and said, "Don't worry about not having business. In the future, most of the projects that Xingmang is involved in will be handed over to us."

When these words came out, everyone was stunned.

Ten seconds later, a female colleague who also had white hair on her temples asked in a slightly excited tone: "Does this mean that we can only produce high-quality products in the future?"

No one likes to produce garbage. If possible, everyone would like their work to be praised by everyone and their company to be praised when others talk about it.

Her colleagues all fell silent, and like her, they looked at Tan Hongguang with anticipation.

Under their gaze, Tan Hongguang smiled and nodded slowly.

Everyone cheered uncontrollably at this moment!

There were also those who loved watching TV dramas shouting: "Long live President Sheng!!"

"Long live!!!"

At this moment, Mr. Sheng, whom they wanted to praise to the sky, was looking at the project in his hands:

"interstellar?"

Gu Zhao nodded: "The investment is too high, and the production time is estimated to be very long. The total investment is no less than 1 billion, or even higher. If there is no result, it will be a huge loss even for Xingmang."

There are very few interstellar blockbusters in China. Sheng Quan had seen a few in his previous life, but in this world, interstellar stories are even less popular in China than fairy tales. At least fairy tales can still be filmed as TV dramas, but interstellar stories are a purely cold subject in every aspect.

But looking around the world, interstellar themes are quite popular and always appear in the annual count of best-selling products.

To put it in a nutshell, it’s not that StarCraft is unpopular, it’s that no one in China in this world is filming StarCraft.

The reason is still the same: the investment amount is too huge.

Sheng Quan looked at Gu Zhao: "What do you think?"

Gu Zhao's elite ice beauty face remained calm: "I think it's okay to shoot."

He raised his eyes, his beautiful light grey eyes met Sheng Quan's. His voice, which always carried a hint of coldness, now seemed to have a little warmth:

"I've seen Tianying's video. Maybe this movie will be their debut."

Sheng Quan smiled.

Gu Zhao has never been a conservative, especially when his immediate superior is not one either.

She closed the document in her hand and said, "Let's start preparing. It's been a long time since I watched an interstellar movie."

Speaking of which, interstellar always involves some high technology.

As we all know, high technology means expensive.

Since Sheng Quan was no longer restricted, after deducting the expenses on Tianying, she now has 300 million in personal funds available to her.

Sheng Quan became thoughtful.

In order to make a movie, she spent money to make some high-tech products...

Isn’t that reasonable?
