Song Yang went to inspect Hanhai Film Company.
He asked Ran Lianyi to keep a low profile, not alert the company's top management, and just go to the crew to take a look.
The lively crew has been disbanded, leaving only the core creative staff and regular employees, all in the studio.
The chief director looked at a display screen with a serious expression, on which was the post-production special effects made by the Haolaiwu team.
A man in ancient costume with a resolute face stood on the top of the cloud.
He spread his five fingers and yelled, "Don't hurt my big brother Lin Dong!"
Following his voice, an illusory tiger pounced down. Its movements were stiff and the traces of animation were very obvious.
Several foreigners were sitting on chairs. They were representatives of the special effects team, drinking tea and waiting for compliments.
The chief director frowned and said, "Why are all the special effects you made just phantom light waves, without any texture?"
A bearded foreigner said, "Hey director, we have done our best. Look how colorful the special effects are! Even Afanda can't reach this level."
The chief director said, "I've seen Afanda, that's real special effects. Your special effects are the same as those in fairy tale TV series. I can find someone to do it for very little money, but I paid you 300 million in commission!"
The bearded man said disdainfully: "Dear Director, we are the top-notch special effects team of Hollyhouse. Please don't compare us with the production of a small workshop! These special effects are absolutely top-notch. When the movie is released, the audience will definitely be shocked!"
The director pinched his fingers hard and said, "This is a cheap special effect! I paid you 300 million, not for you to make a TV series. I want a big production with big scenes. What is this?! Redo everything!"
The bearded man raised his eyebrows and said, "Mr. Director, please be careful with your words. We can only use special effects like this for the price you gave us. We will not rework it. If you are not satisfied, we will withdraw. Of course, we will not give you a penny less in commission of 300 million."
The director said angrily, "The sample you gave me was not like this. Now it's turned into this horrible state, and you have the nerve to ask for money?"
A tall foreign man stood up and said with sharp eyes: "Mr. Director, we must abide by the spirit of contract in everything. If you use special effects, you must pay for it!"
The chief director looked at him and said, "Who are you? I've never seen you before."
The foreign man said, "My name is Jackson Freese. I'm sure you've heard of my name."
The chief director was surprised and said, "You are the famous producer, star, and director of Hao Lai Wu, Jackson!"
Jackson nodded.
He had a reserved smile on his face.
What happened today was directed by him.
The movie "Fighting Sphere" is well-made, the actors' acting skills are superb, and the script is also top-notch. The only thing missing is special effects.
Top-notch special effects can only be created by Haolaiwu.
After seeing some clips, Jackson could foresee the future of this movie, and it will definitely be a strong rival to his personal movie "Queer Life"!
Jackson wouldn't let that happen.
He used his resources to have the special effects team replace the original production, and finished this shoddy special effects in one night.
Now he plans to use his celebrity status in Hao Lai Wu to put pressure on the chief director, making him give in and not only pay but also accept this kind of 5-cent special effects movie!
By then, his personal movie "Gay Life" will surely be a big hit!
Just thinking about Jackson makes me a little excited.
