    Things about the movie are simple and clear. The general matter has been decided. Some details can be discussed by the people below. What we want to talk about now is nothing more than the issue of funding and production cycle.  After a few minutes of discussion in low voices, Director Liu and the others quietly quoted the price: the two units together cost RMB 955,000, to the nearest thousand, and they should be completed before the end of the year.  Of course, if there are actors and crew members from Xiangjiang, the salary will be calculated separately. China is reluctant to bear the salary of actors from Xiangjiang. It is too expensive.  Li Xuechu¡¯s eyelids twitched slightly, the cost gap was several times higher.  The two movies together are worth 10 million yuan in Hong Kong. The live-action movie "Cowherder Spring" may be cheaper, but the animated movie is more expensive. There are at least twelve frames per second and a length of more than 90 minutes.  In total, the screen length is over 70,000.  In an era before computers were used in animation production, this workload was no joke.  Although the current domestic exchange rate between the RMB and the Hong Kong dollar is set at about one to five, and looking at this exchange rate, the cost is about half lower. However, this exchange rate that is patted on the head is not recognized outside. Li Xuechu can exchange millions of RMB in Xiangjiang.  Less than five million.  Li Xuechu agreed with a heartbeat of two million dollars. If it is not enough, he can add more.  It is also guaranteed that if the finished film can achieve box office results, the producer can be rewarded with 500,000 as a share of the box office.  The film studio also enjoyed the pleasure of cooperating with local tycoons, and the atmosphere at the wine table was peaceful.  Li Xuechu knew that the film studio would basically spend all the two million, and would most likely come over to ask for money in the later stages.  But I am not willing to waste two good movies for the sake of three melons and two dates.  "By the way, can the movie be released in China?" "Um" Several people looked at each other, and Director Liu finally answered: "Currently, the boss has only provided a filming permit. The release has not been mentioned yet. Mr. Li,  You didn't ask for it to be released in China before. "I didn't mention it. It's just a pity. I still hope that these two movies can be released in China, and I have confidence in your scripts.  , It¡¯s just a pity.¡± Wu Yigong also fell silent. As a director, of course he hopes that his works will be recognized by the outside world, especially in his own country.  I like this script very much, and I even postponed the filming of Once Upon a Time in Chengnan, which I had been eyeing for a long time. I have been thinking about this work for two years.  The film to be shot cannot be released, which is also a blow to the director.  The atmosphere suddenly became cold again.  "I would like to ask Director Liu to inform his superiors that if these two movies can be released in China, I don't have to make any money. I will just charge one yuan of copyright royalties for each of the two movies." Li Xuechu pondered for a moment and said: "Of course, after three years of copyright, I will  Take it back, and if it is screened in China, you can put the Modu Film Studio's logo in front of it. " Director Liu Changxi, this is another big meat pie.  With this sentence, the outsourcing business that was originally a one-time deal turned into a cooperative operation.  Of course, the profits of state-owned factories must be turned over to the state, but this is not a political achievement, and there are still ways to keep some.  It can be given as a benefit.  It is not difficult to pass the censorship. The two films are basically not related to politics, especially the cartoons, and there is basically no risk of being rejected.  If it were owned by a domestic company, there would be no such trouble.  The difficulty lies in the background of foreign investment.  The foreign exchange that the country has accumulated through hard work over the past few years with agricultural products, oil and minerals is not willing to be earned back.  "Haha, as you said this, I will definitely report the situation. I think there will be no problem." The busty Factory Manager Liu still dared to take pictures.  "That's good. As long as it can be shown, I'll be relieved." "I'm sure, don't worry about this. I will definitely take this matter as my own business." Can you not take it seriously?  This money is basically his own. Director Liu can now take two yuan out of his pocket.  Reimbursement is generously waived.  "Hahaha, happy cooperation." "Happy cooperation." Li Xuechu has made preparations not to make money in China within five years. As long as the Oriental DreamWorks brand is well remembered by domestic audiences, he will not worry about making money in the future.  Hollywood has also been exporting movies at cabbage prices for a long time. Once they are familiar and recognized by audiences in other countries, it is a good opportunity to capture the market. All the previous losses have been made back a hundred times, not to mention that the cost of exporting movies is really not high, it is just a few copies.  That¡¯s all.  After a meal, both things were settled.  But it's too early to go back. I will have to stay here for at least half a month to deal with the Famicom.  How can I go home without seeing the technicians taking reassurance?  "Ahu, please refund tomorrow's air tickets. It looks like we have to stay here for a while." "Okay boss." The one-eyed bodyguard hesitated for a moment and asked: "Boss, can I ask for leave?"Xuechu was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead. Seeing how this happened, of course he wanted to go home and have a look after finally coming back.  "Of course. I've neglected this matter. I'll give you a month's paid leave. It's best to bring the whole family to Xiangjiang, so that you can work with peace of mind. I'll handle the visa matter." Chen Hu's rare gift  He showed a sheepish smile.  "It's enough for me to take half a month's leave, mainly to see the children at home. However, the two elders are getting older, and I'm afraid they won't be used to going to Xiangjiang, a place they are unfamiliar with. Let's see about this before we talk about it." "Look at it.  Let's do it, but I still suggest you bring everyone here." Li Xuechu thought about it and said, "Also, Ah Hu, please help me keep an eye on whether there are any suitable bodyguards, including veteran special police officers. Bring one if you can.  "Ten people, please come over." "I have asked Brother De about this matter, but compared to Brother De who has a criminal record, Chen Hu, who retired due to injury and came to Xiangjiang through regular channels, is obviously more suitable.  "Okay!" Ahu agreed.  Looking at Chen Hu who turned around and strode away, Li Xuechu shook his head and laughed.  This man was really born to be a bodyguard. He kept a cold face all day long and showed few expressions. He could reply in three words but not five. He seemed to ignore everyone, including himself.  After being together for so long, I have seen her temperament.  Director Zhang acted faster than he thought, and brought someone over the next day to knock on Li Xuechu's room.  "Is this the 'technical authority' you found?" Li Xuechu looked at the young man in his late thirties in surprise.  Director Zhang smiled awkwardly: "This is Comrade Gu Xinwei, a talented student who graduated from a prestigious American university. He just returned to China the year before last year. Although Xiao Gu is a little younger, Mr. Li, please don't underestimate him." Li Xuechu was in awe.  It's not that they are top students from old American universities, but that the talents who can be called back to the country accordingly in this era are basically respectable in character.  Li Xuechu asked himself if he would be reborn in this capacity.  You may not dare to make such a decision.  It is not uncommon in Xiangjiang to have top students studying in the United States, but most of them major in business administration or law and finance. Engineering talents cannot stay in Hong Kong because there is no such soil.  "Hello, Mr. Li." Gu Gong felt a little unhappy at the slighting of this young man who was younger than himself, but he still said hello in a neither humble nor condescending manner.  Technicians have their own tempers, especially now.  I usually ignore those high-ranking officials, but this time I would never come here to mess around with a local tycoon from Xiangjiang if it weren't for the pressure from my superiors.  Is there anyone in Xiangjiang who knows electronic technology?  Gu Gong, who has stayed in the old American territory all year round, does not look up to the outside like some people in China now.  At most it's a new electronic watch, if this can be considered electronic technology.  "Disrespect, disrespect." Li Xuechu welcomed the person in.  Just be a reliable person.  It is normal for a skilled person to directly tinker with the Little Overlord thing.  "What kind of 'electronic high technology' are we going to do this time?" As soon as Pu entered the door, Gu Gong asked straight to the point.  ¡°It¡¯s not really high-tech, it¡¯s just an electronic product that our company wants to develop.¡± Ignoring others¡¯ irritated attitudes, Li Xuechu took out the sketches and product explanations he had drawn in the past two days.  Gu Gong took a stack of drawings and instructions and started reading them directly, while Li Xuechu tried his best to explain them in layman's spoken language.  "Generally speaking, this product is a game console, controlled by one master and two handles at a time. Gu Gong, do you know about handheld consoles?" "Yes." How could Gu Gong, who has been in the United States for so long, not know about the past few years?  The electronic products that came out, looking at the control buttons of this controller, obviously evolved from handheld consoles.  "What is the output device used for?" asked Gu Gong.  "Huh?" I couldn't understand it for a while.  "I'm talking about what to play with. Do you want to make a monitor?" "Oh. It doesn't have to be so troublesome." Li Xuechu pointed to the TV set next to him: "Just use it. It's best if a color TV can distinguish the effects of colors. A black and white TV  If you use a computer, you can use different shades of gray to display different colors." "Use a TV?" Gu Gong was a little surprised for a moment, but he lowered his head and thought about it.  Agreed: "It is indeed feasible." Without TV, the penetration rate would not be that high.  This is the biggest success factor for the rapid popularity of the Famicom.  Li Xuechu continued to explain: "The TV serves as the display screen, and the game controller is used to control the game, and the game itself is realized by a special game chip. I have thought of a few simple games here. Let's see if you have any specialized integrated circuit talents to help me.  Realize it. The size of the chip memory does not need to be large. There is a dedicated slot on the game console to switch between different games." Gu Gong thought for a while.  Regretfully said: "Software is my weakness, but we still have professional software talents. Mr. Li, youYou must worry.  This project is not difficult and very feasible. I personally think it has great market prospects.  Mr. Li, I wish you success.  "    "Thanks.  "The two held hands together. "Gu Gong, who has been exposed to the American electronics industry, does not despise the game industry like other Chinese people. From a purely economic point of view, as long as there is a market, making game consoles may not necessarily make less than making airplanes.  , although the difficulty and impact on the industry are not at the same level. However, there are many international giants who have developed from small projects. In fact, this is something that the country must pay attention to. ¡°Oh, you must pay attention to production costs when doing research and development.  "Li Xuechu mentioned an issue that has been ignored by later generations of state-owned enterprises for a long time, but then changed his mind: "Forget it, let's make the thing first and grab the patent first.  " "I will pay attention.  "Gu Gong said with a smile. Li Xuechu breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was someone who had been exposed to the world of capital. If he were replaced by someone who didn't care about costs and just realized the technology, communication would be much more difficult. "I'll take these materials back and study them.  I think Mr. Li, you will definitely be able to see the finished product within three months.  "After estimating the technical difficulty, Gu Gong also had a good idea. This idea is excellent, but technically it is not difficult. Domestic technicians who are working on billions of computers can easily implement it by sending a few mid-level people.  "Gong Gu, you can do whatever you want.  By the way, after a while I think I need to buy a patent. Gu Gu, do you have time to accompany me?  "It's hard to find someone who understands the Western world and has professional knowledge, and this is the person in front of me. "Buy a patent?  Okay, I'll report it to my superiors and I'll give you a reply tomorrow.  "After all, coming from the West, Gu Gong will not think that this thing is unimportant. In the West, if the company's products want to gain a foothold, they will probably be cheated if they don't have this thing.
