Chapter 23: Hollywood's Counterattack

Turner was not exaggerating, he was telling the truth. (i)

Stunts, for Hollywood, are too important. It can be said to be the most important pillar of Hollywood. Now, this pillar is being pried by Ye Chen, and it is in danger of breaking. This kind of blow is fatal to Hollywood.

A tycoon named Pete was very angry and said: "Stunts are the pillar of our Hollywood. We spend huge sums of money on the research and development of special effects production. We have always been far ahead of other countries. This is an important reason why our Hollywood movies are famous all over the world. Our After spending so much money to maintain the stunt team, it is not as good as a young man from China, I think they should all lose their jobs."

Hollywood has invested heavily in special effects production technology. For example, in order to shoot "Avatar", a special team was set up to develop 3D technology. It can be seen that Hollywood attaches great importance to special effects.

However, the team that spent a lot of money to maintain was actually compared to Ye Chen, who wouldn't be angry?

Pete's words immediately aroused echoes, and these giants felt that their stunt personnel were incompetent.

"Peter, what you said is very reasonable. I also think our stunt personnel are incompetent. But it's useless to say these things now. Let's find a way to deal with the immediate crisis." Turner reminded Pete that no matter how much this kind of nonsense is said, It didn't work either.

"Turner, how do you think we should deal with it?" asked a giant named Miller, his brows were tightly frowned.

"I think we should send someone to contact Ye Chen first to see if he is willing to transfer this technology." Turner thought for a while.

"Turner, don't think about this issue." Pete directly vetoed his proposal, saying: "First, there is no precedent for this Ye Chen to transfer technology. The photon chip is like this, and this stunt technology will be the same. .Secondly, Ye Chen’s technology is very advanced and of high value. Compared with 3D technology, this kind of stunt technology is much more advanced, it can be said that it has been advanced for several generations. Who would sell this kind of technology?”

Everyone was silent.

Pete continued: "If I had this kind of technology, I wouldn't sell it. Instead, I would open a special effects production company specializing in special effects, and I would make a lot of money."

I have to say that what Pete said makes sense. The value of this kind of technology is too great, it can change the mode of film and television, no one will be stupid enough to sell it, this is a cash cow.

"Third, if this technology is sold, the price is too high, which of us can afford it?" Pete said again.

Indeed, everyone knows that this technology has a bright future, not to mention whether Ye Chen will sell it. Even if Ye Chen wants to sell,

Who can afford it?

This kind of technology will cost tens of billions of dollars at least. If Ye Chen opens his mouth again, hundreds of billions of dollars is not out of the question.

Although the Hollywood film companies are strong, they cannot afford so much money.

"Peter, I have a suggestion about whether we can afford it or not. We can jointly buy it and then share it according to the amount of investment." Miller said hopefully.

"That's a good idea." Everyone agreed with this statement.

A film company certainly cannot afford it, but it is still affordable to gather Hollywood film giants and jointly raise funds. They also have no opinion on the method of sharing. Whoever gives more money will enjoy more. This is an axiom.

"Miller, your idea is very good, so, will Ye Chen sell it?" Pete asked.

Everyone was silent again.

Some people were not reconciled and had a glimmer of hope, saying, "What if Ye Chen really sells it?"

Pete hit him again and said: "Even if Ye Chen wants to sell, will the Chinese government allow him to sell it? It's not like you don't know that the Chinese government has always wanted to make movies, and it gave the Chinese film company a lot of discounts, and gave it back to us. There are many restrictions on the entry of China's films into China. If there were no such restrictions, our blockbusters would have dominated China's film market long ago, not half of the country now."

The market for the film industry is huge, and the country also wants to do it, giving preferential treatment to film and television companies, restricting the import of Hollywood blockbusters, and so on. After years of hard work, domestic films have made considerable progress.

Everyone knows the great value of Ye Chen's technology, and the government will definitely not allow Ye Chen to sell it.

"Okay, Pete, what you said is very reasonable. We can't buy it. Then, if we increase our investment, can we develop this technology?" Some people were not reconciled and proposed a fundamental solution.

Stunts have always been the mainstay of Hollywood, and Hollywood has invested heavily in it. If it can increase investment and develop this technology, it will be a great thing for Hollywood, and this crisis can be resolved in one fell swoop.

"This question should be answered by our stunt team." Turner looked at the stunt personnel present.

This is because of the crisis caused by the stunt, and it is natural for these stunt people to participate in this meeting.

These stuntmen all had ugly faces and pursed their lips tightly, but no one spoke.

"Iverson, when you asked us for money, you swore that you would be able to develop the world's leading special effects production technology. Now, tell me, can you do it?" Someone looked at a middle-aged man with a very unhappy tone.

This middle-aged man is called Iverson, and he is a well-known stunt production technician in Hollywood. He once led the team to develop many advanced special effects production techniques.

He has always been sought after by these giants, and no one would dare to talk to him like this on weekdays, but the situation is stronger than others, so he had to endure his discomfort and said, "I'm very sorry."

"Isn't it okay for us to increase investment?" Someone asked again.

"Compared with our existing technology, this kind of technology is several grades advanced, and it is several decades, even hundreds of years ahead of us. We have no accumulation in this area, no basic research in this area. If we want to develop it, we have to do it from scratch. It's too difficult." Iverson was very unwilling, but he had to tell the truth, saying: "Even if we invest a huge amount of money now, it should be decades before we want to be successful."

Decades later? These giants can't wait to strangle him.

After decades of making it again, the day lily will be cold. By then, it will be questionable whether Hollywood is still around.

"Acquisition is not good, and research and development is not good, so we can only cooperate?" Someone said.

"Cooperation is really not possible, and this is the only way." Turner said with a displeased face, "Historically, only the people of the Celestial Dynasty begged us to do stunts. How can we ask the people of the Celestial Dynasty to do stunts? It's a shame. . But we have to live with the stigma until that happens."

Americans have always been arrogant, self-righteous, and self-righteous. It is difficult for Americans to accept it if they want to lower their face and ask the Chinese government for help.

"Compared to the benefits, shame is a trivial matter, we can accept it. But, will Ye Chen do it for us? Even if Ye Chen wants to do it for us, will the price be sky-high?" Some people are very worried.

This was another question worth worrying about, and everyone fell silent again.

Will Ye Chen do it for Hollywood? There is no need to worry too much about this, Ye Chen may find many excuses to embarrass Hollywood, but he will not make money, he will definitely do it for Hollywood.

However, the price must be very high, it must be sky-high.

Who said that only Ye Chen has mastered this technique?

"This is not the biggest threat yet. The biggest threat is that with the help of Ye Chen, the Chinese movies will rise, which will pose a huge challenge to our Hollywood, and even a life-and-death crisis." Pete is sober and sees far away. .

"Damn Ye Chen." This will definitely become a reality.

The Chinese government has always wanted to make movies, but it had no opportunity and strength before. Now, with the help of Ye Chen and the support of the government, if the movies of the Celestial Dynasty can't rise, then I will feel sorry for myself.

"We can accept Ye Chen's sky-high price, but we can't tolerate it. I think we should go to the congressmen to discuss it. The congressmen have taken so many political donations from us, it's time for them to do their part to stop the rise of Chinese movies. said Turner.

He reminded these tycoons and agreed unanimously to go to the congressmen to find a way.

Which of these giants has not funded some powerful congressmen? It's not just for this kind of time, it can come in handy.

Ye Chen sent Yue Jianqun and the others away, returned home, and told Mr. Tang about this, and Mr. Tang was very happy.

"Well, their response is quite fast." Mr. Tang appreciated it very much, and said: "Xiaoye, before, we always wanted to make movies and let domestic movies go to the world. But, there has been no chance. Now it's okay, Your technology will be our breakthrough, and the time has come for the rise of domestic films."

"Mr. Tang, I think there are many reasons why we can't make domestic films. Apart from weak strength and backward technology, it also has something to do with you. You really manage too much." Ye Chen has heard about film management. , the monitoring is very strong.

"Xiaoye, what I want to tell you about this question is that you have misunderstood. Surveillance is necessary, even in the United States, the surveillance of the film industry is not small." Tang Lao said very seriously.

"Old Tang, of course I know that monitoring is necessary. If there is no monitoring, it will be a mess. However, some monitoring is unnecessary, right? For example, the subject of tomb robbery is very popular in China and abroad. This movie about tomb robbery has become popular all over the world. But you are not allowed to make it, so is it lenient?" Ye Chen complained bitterly.

The theme of tomb robbery has been very popular in recent years, and almost every tomb robbery novel on the Internet has become a hit.

The pioneering work on the theme of tomb robbery has already sold the copyright of the film adaptation to Hollywood, which shows how influential this work is. Many film and television companies in China wanted to make this book, but they were told very seriously by the relevant departments that tomb robbery is illegal, and movies with this kind of theme are not allowed.

"Old Tang, I also think that you have taken a wide range of measures." General Xiao agreed with Ye Chen's words very much, and said, "Tomb robbery has existed for more than a thousand years since Cao Cao's Mojin school lieutenant. It’s been two thousand years, and it’s not something that’s happening now, do you need to be so strict? Making a movie is not a big deal, do you need to be so strict?”

Elder Tang stomped his feet, pointed to the ground, and asked, "Xiaoye, do you know how many treasures are buried underground in our country?"

Ye Chen was taken aback, and asked, "Old Tang, does this have anything to do with not being allowed to make tomb robber movies?" (To be continued.)
