March 8th.
Before "The Lord of the Rings" series officially entered post-production.
After Hu Yibao convened a meeting with the New World Film Production Department, he spoke to Jiang Gangmeng.
"Director Jiang, I think we should first gather a team of special effects artists. When we start post-production on The Lord of the Rings series, they'll be able to handle it with ease."
The production of special effects in the "Lord of the Rings series" is extremely large, which not only requires a lot of money, but also requires a large number of top special effects talents.
It is simply not enough to rely solely on the strength of New World's current special effects department.
Hu Yibao also wanted to integrate the Chinese special effects industry as soon as possible, and it was a good opportunity to do so during the production of "The Lord of the Rings Series".
"I think so too." Jiang Gangmeng said with a smile, "Only when everything is prepared can we be invincible."
"Now we are in the post-production of the Lord of the Rings series, and the only thing that is not ready is the special effects."
"During this period, I happened to use some of my connections and obtained the contact information of many of China's top special effects artists."
Hu Yibao wasn't the type to waste time on things, so he immediately said to Jiang Gangmeng, "Then call them one by one and formally invite them to join New World."
"We must fully demonstrate our appreciation for them."
Jiang Gangmeng nodded, "Okay!"
During this period, Jiang Gangmeng collected a total of 28 phone numbers.
Half each.
Not long after, in the conference room, Hu Yibao and Jiang Gangmeng sat at their desks and began to make phone calls one by one to confirm.
Hu Yibao: "Hello, is this Mr. Zhang Chen?"
Zhang Chen: "Yes, may I ask who you are?"
Hu Yibao: "Hello, I'm Hu Yibao. Our "Lord of the Rings Series" has entered post-production. I would like to invite you to join our special effects production team to complete the special effects production of "The Lord of the Rings Series" together. We can meet to discuss the relevant remuneration in detail."
Zhang Chen: "The Lord of the Rings series? Sure! I can do it even without payment. Director Hu, I really like your Kung Fu Hustle."
Hu Yibao: "It's not that you don't want to pay. Then please come to the New World headquarters in Shanghai. We will cover the round-trip transportation, food and accommodation."
Zhang Chen: "Okay, Director Hu, I'll be there right away."
Hang up the phone.
Hu Yibao circled Zhang Chen's name and followed up with the next call.
…
…
Jiang Gangmeng: "Long time no see! Chen Xiangan."
Chen Xiangan: "Director Jiang!! Wow, this call is such a surprise. Director Jiang, do you have any work for me? I'm so broke lately that I'm almost going to work on a construction site."
Jiang Gangmeng: "The Lord of the Rings series that I previously filmed with Mr. Hu Yibao has entered the post-production stage and requires a large number of China's top special effects artists. I wonder if you are interested?"
Chen Xiangan: "Yes, yes, yes! Of course!"
Jiang Gangmeng: "Okay, let's go to the Magic City New World."
…
…
Hu Yibao and Jiang Gangmeng made 28 calls one after another.
"Director Jiang, I can confirm that there are 6 people coming to the New World." Hu Yibao took a look at the list on the paper and said proactively.
Although the special effects artists were a little touched when they heard that it was Hu Yibao who called.
But being touched cannot be eaten.
When faced with Hu Yibao's invitation to produce the "Lord of the Rings series," some refused because they didn't have time, while others declined because Shanghai was too far away...
"I have five here." Jiang Gangmeng said helplessly.
"Only 11!" Hu Yibao sighed slightly.
11 top special effects artists are not enough to produce "The Lord of the Rings" series.
"Let me post on Weibo!" Hu Yibao followed.
Jiang Gangmeng was stunned: "Send out scarves?"
"Well, let more people know that we are looking for special effects artists." Hu Yibao said with a smile, "I also want to let more people know my support for China's special effects industry."
China's special effects capabilities rank among the best in the world.
However, due to the abnormal development direction, which focuses on traffic actors and ignores special effects, these people with top special effects capabilities do not receive compensation commensurate with their abilities.
For example, fighting spirit turns into a horse.
Hu Yibao didn't have much strength before, so when he heard this, he could only sigh.
Things are different now. There are hundreds of billions of US dollars in his account, and several consecutive movies have made Hu Yibao's strength and status in the Chinese film industry rise sharply.
Now Hu Yibao has become a big boss and has the ability to change some of the current situations in the special effects industry.
"Okay!" Jiang Gangmeng nodded. He knew very well how powerful Hu Yibao was on the Internet.
It is indeed possible to find more top Chinese special effects artists in the fastest time.
In front of Jiang Gangmeng, Hu Yibao took out his mobile phone, logged into Weibo, wrote a text, and then sent it.
Scarf.
Hu Yibao: "The Lord of the Rings series is about to enter post-production. We are in need of a large number of top Chinese special effects artists to participate in the special effects production of the series. Friends who are capable, please contact New World Customer Service. Let us work together with the power of Chinese special effects to create an epic blockbuster that will shock the world. In addition, we at New World will also establish a special effects department. I will invest 5 billion within a year to support the development of the New World special effects department. We welcome talented Chinese special effects artists to join us."
Scarf issued.
Hu Yibao looked at the content and refreshed the page.
Weibo data has undergone tremendous changes.
It has been forwarded over 200,000 times, received over 1 million likes, and received over 500,000 comments.
Hu Yibao clicked on the comments and took a look.
White Wedding Dress: "Brother Bao, are you really planning to rely solely on the strength of our Chinese film market to complete the production of The Lord of the Rings series?"
Smooth Floor: "All I can say is, well done! The lives of Chinese special effects artists are truly miserable, earning only fifty cents to work on multi-million dollar productions. Brother Bao's move will definitely have a huge impact on the Chinese special effects market."
Cardboard Remembers Love: "Wow!! This is great news! I'm a special effects artist, and I've only been out of school for two years. My pay isn't proportional to my effort. I'm quitting tomorrow and going to New World in Shanghai."
Fang Ping [Special Effects Professional]: "Director Hu, I've already sent you a private message. I really hope to join New World and be part of the special effects production for The Lord of the Rings series."
"I really like the special effects in 'Kung Fu Hustle,' and I hope the special effects in 'The Lord of the Rings series' won't disappoint."
One person who didn't sleep said: "Two billion a year, Brother Bao is really ambitious. I wish the "Lord of the Rings" series a big box office success."
In the time it took Hu Yibao to read dozens of comments, his replacement scarf had already topped the trending search list.
