Jiangcheng High-tech Park.
The brain-computer interface research institute of Yunmeng Technology.
Looking up at this research institution, which was obviously not related to movies, the man wearing glasses looked at Hao Yun standing beside him and asked with a slight hesitation.
"Is the World of Warcraft crew here?"
His name is Li Haoning, the head of the CG production team of DaMi Entertainment. Many popular games, including Assassin's Legend of Ming Dynasty, were produced by his team. His team also participated in many CG movies under DaMi Entertainment. Make.
As Director Guo said, Rice Entertainment's CG technology is at the forefront of the entire Xia Kingdom, on par with fellow giant Sea Lion Group.
Hearing Mr. Li's question, Hao Yun answered with a smile.
"That's right, but the World of Warcraft movie project has just been established. Many things, including the crew, are still in preparation, but it's almost ready! Let me introduce you to the main person in charge of this project first. He will handle this project with you."
Don't say it's because the crew hasn't been established yet.
There is not even a suitable director yet.
Hao Yun has entrusted his old friend Tian Ye to help find him, but it will take some time to find him.
No way, Xu Qianshi's call came too suddenly, and he was sure that they were already preparing for a movie. How could Hao Yun tell the truth in that situation? In fact, you are completely overthinking, what about a movie? We have no idea at all.
Although I feel sorry for Mr. Xu, the World of Warcraft movie project was indeed established after his phone call.
After all, this is what Xu Qianshi said himself.
If Yunmeng Group is willing to cooperate with DaMi Entertainment to develop this IP, DaMi Entertainment is willing to bear half of the filming costs and is willing to send the company's best CG development team to help Yunmeng Group's crew complete the filming of Century of Warcraft.
Of course Hao Yun knew Xu Qianshi's intentions.
This guy is not a philanthropist. If there are not enough benefits, it is absolutely impossible to propose such a generous offer.
The reason why he was willing to pay such a high price was mainly because he aimed at the huge influence of the Warcraft IP, and used the idea of "borrowing chickens to lay eggs" to help several traffic stars signed by Da Mi Entertainment transition into the film and television industry.
Just like Xu Shaoyuan and Hu Yanshu.
Although these stars are good at singing and composing music, they may not be as good at making movies as they are at their main job. Moreover, with their status as celebrities, they certainly cannot just arrange a low-cost production to cope with the situation. If the box office results are not satisfactory, it will affect their future acting career.
DaMi Entertainment needs a movie that does not require very high acting skills and is stable enough at the box office to monetize the traffic of its own big-name stars.
Obviously, World of Warcraft perfectly meets their needs.
Through motion capture and post-production CG production, even actors with no acting skills at all can successfully complete filming under the guidance of action consultants and directors.
Even if there are areas that are not done well, post-processing technology can also be used to modify the CG.
At least in terms of CG technology, Da Mi Entertainment is confident that it can do this.
Therefore, as Xu Qianshi said, this cooperation is a win-win situation for both parties.
But Hao Yun didn't expect that Xu Qianshi would be so concerned about this matter that he sent the head of the CG team from Shanghai the next day after making the call.
He hasn't even prepared a contract yet!
Seeing Hao Yun change the topic and take him into the building, Li Haoning had a puzzled expression on his face, but in the end he did not ask the question in his stomach.
The task he received from Mr. Xu was to cooperate with the work of Yunmeng Group and complete the development of the World of Warcraft movie. As for other things, he didn't say anything about it.
Anyway, he is here now.
As for other things…
It doesn't seem like it's something I should worry about.
Taking this expert from DaMi Entertainment, Hao Yun walked straight into the research institute. After swiping the key card, he took him to the crew of Ready Player One.
When he arrived here, director Guo Qifei was directing the filming work.
Seeing Hao Yun appear at the door, he handed over the work to his deputy, walked towards Hao Yun, and said with a warm smile on his face.
"Mr. Hao? Why are you here? You didn't say anything to me so I could go out and pick you up."
Hao Yun said with a smile.
"I'm just here to take a look, no need to bother."
At this time, Guo Qifei noticed the man wearing glasses standing behind Mr. Hao and cast a suspicious look at him.
"Who is this?"
"Let me introduce you. This is Li Haoning, from the CG production team of DaMi Entertainment Art Department." After introducing the person next to him, Hao Yun then introduced the person in front of him to Li Haoning, "This is our Yun Director Guo from Dream Media.”
"Hello, Director Guo!"
"Hello, hello! Nice to meet you!"
Guo Qifei shook hands with him politely, but the confusion on his face did not diminish at all, but became even more than before.
He didn't quite understand why the people from DaMi Entertainment were here.
And he is also the person in charge of the famous CG development team...
Probably guessing what he was thinking, Hao Yun looked at Li Haoning standing beside him, coughed lightly and said.
"Director Guo and I have something to discuss. Could you please wait here for a while?"
"It's okay, I can wait."
"I'm really sorry... I'll ask the staff here to take you to the lounge first. There are sofas there where you can sit and rest. We will talk in detail about the World of Warcraft movie there later."
Entrusting the accommodation of this guest to the staff of the institute, Hao Yun took Guo Qifei aside and explained.
"Didn't you tell me some time ago that one of the two strongest CG production teams in the country is in Sea Lion, and the other is in Rice. No, I got it for you."
Upon hearing this, Guo Qifei was immediately shocked.
"What the hell? You, you dug the corner of the Rice Group?!"
Isn’t this poaching? !
If it were dug out, it would be equivalent to moving an entire wall.
Of course, such a thing is obviously impossible...
"Don't think too much, just borrow..." Hao Yun coughed lightly, "Didn't you listen to what I said just now? They are here to cooperate with us in making the World of Warcraft movie."
"World of Warcraft movie?" Guo Qifei was stunned for a moment and quickly asked, "What is going on? Aren't we filming Ready Player One now? Why are we suddenly filming World of Warcraft again?!"
"It's a long story, mainly because the timing is too coincidental," Hao Yun sighed and continued, "It just coincides with the popularity of the World of Warcraft Music Festival, and Da Mi Entertainment also has demand in this area. I thought about it, and there is no such thing. There is no better time than now to officially announce this project. If you miss it, you may have to wait for several years."
Guo Qifei said with a wry smile.
"I still think it's better to think about this kind of thing in the long run..."
"You're right, but things have reached this point," Hao Yun looked at him and continued, "And don't you think this is an opportunity? Although we have shot several CG promotional PVs, we have never had a movie-level one. CG production experience. Compared with our peers, this area is our weakness. Even in World of Warcraft, compared to the games of our friend Sea Lion Group, there is indeed a certain gap... but these gaps are covered by our content. That’s all.”
"When Dami Entertainment sends people over, I will arrange the employees of our CG production team to work in the same place as the people from Dami. They can learn a little bit from eleven things."
"Not only for the ongoing filming of "Ready Player One", but also for the future of Yunmeng Games, I plan to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
After listening to Mr. Hao's plan in stunned silence, Guo Qifei opened his mouth and nodded slowly after a while.
"I understand... But this shouldn't have anything to do with my crew, right? I won't be asked to shoot two movies at the same time, right?"
"Of course that's not what I meant," Hao Yun coughed lightly and looked at him and continued, "In fact, due to the hasty start of the World of Warcraft movie project, there is not even a director, let alone a crew. So. … I need you to lend me someone.”
"Borrowing someone?"
"Well," Hao Yun nodded and said with a slightly embarrassed expression, "Is there anyone in your crew who is familiar with the work of a director? It's best to have played World of Warcraft... Anyway, let's deal with the people from Da Mi Entertainment first. Just people.”
Guo Qifei: "???"
How the hell do you deal with this!
