Chapter 606 New Special Effects Technology
There is a saying in Huaxia that good things come in pairs. When "Heroes of Heroes" crazily swept the world box office, Dream Special Effects Video finally made a breakthrough, and the new special effects technology was finally successfully developed.
Wu Hao burst into tears on the phone, and praised Zhang Yuan extremely well.
It turned out that the last difficulty was overcome by Zhang Yuan and others, and it took less than two days to find a solution.
As for Zhang Yuan's talent and ability, Wu Hao is full of admiration.
After getting the news, Xiao Yunhai came to the company quickly. After Wu Hao's detailed explanation, Xiao Yunhai was very satisfied with the new special effect technology.
Compared with the magic special effects, the simulation degree has reached 97%, and the work efficiency has been improved by 60%. The work that originally took a year to complete, now only takes four months to complete.
what is this? It's all money.
Xiao Yunhai asked Wu Hao to gather all the more than 110 technicians of the company into a conference room and held a commendation meeting.
Xiao Yunhai said: "After everyone's unremitting efforts, our dream special effects video company has finally achieved great success. Do you know what this means? It means that we already have the most important foundation for becoming the world's first special effects company."
"Today, we have sufficient technical staff and the most advanced special effects technology, and the world's first is already in our bag."
"Yeah, that's great."
"We are number one in the world."
Everyone was excited, and there was warm applause in the conference room.
Xiao Yunhai waved his hand,
Dao: "The company has made such a big breakthrough, and our personal income will naturally also have a breakthrough. Starting today, the wages and bonuses of all employees of the Dream Special Effects Image Company will be doubled, and each person will be rewarded 100,000 yuan. Magic special effects The company's technicians who came to help each were rewarded with $50,000, but the salary remained the same."
"Great, 100,000 yuan is enough for me to buy a nice car."
"The salary and bonus have doubled. God, doesn't this mean that I can get 12,000 yuan."
"The Emperor Yun is the Emperor Yun, it's too big."
With the stimulus of money, the applause in the conference room was even louder.
Xiao Yunhai continued: "It's not over yet. I'll give everyone a ten-day vacation, divided into three batches. You can take your family or girlfriend to Hainan for vacation. The company will be responsible for all the air tickets and accommodation expenses."
"However, after returning, everyone will enter the research and development work again. I think you should all know that, I invited Zhang Yuan, a top student from Tsinghua University, to be responsible for researching 3D film technology. They have been working on it for almost a year, and they are far from Success is not far away. You must cooperate well with his work. I can assure you that once this technology is developed and becomes the patent of our company, your salary and bonus will be raised to a new level, and each person will be rewarded 20 Wan. This is my guarantee, do you hear it clearly?"
"Listen clearly."
Everyone said excitedly.
Xiao Yunhai said: "Okay, let's end the meeting."
After everyone left, Xiao Yunhai said to Wu Hao, "Haozi, hurry up and organize the materials. Let's go to apply for a patent. In a few days, it is estimated that the people from the Patent Association will come down to accept it. Is there any problem?"
Wu Hao said firmly: "Boss Xiao, don't worry, I promise that there will be no problems. By the way, Zhang Yuan and the others have helped us so much, shouldn't they also give them some rewards?"
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said, "Then give each of them 20,000 yuan as a reward. If you give too much, it will be unfair to our people."
Wu Hao said with admiration on his face: "Boss Xiao, I'm really convinced by the classmate Zhang Yuan you're looking for. Whether it's work ability or work attitude, I don't think I'm inferior. These days, they eat and live in the office. , never went out."
Xiao Yunhai frowned and said, "Let them pay attention to their bodies. If something goes wrong with these classmates, I won't be able to explain it to President Gu of Tsinghua University."
Wu Hao nodded and said, "I understand."
Xiao Yunhai said: "Okay, I'll go back first. How long will it take you to prepare the materials?"
Wu Hao said: "It can be done tonight."
Xiao Yunhai said: "It should be sooner rather than later. I will come to you tomorrow morning."
The next day, the two went to the Huaxia Patent Association and handed over a large stack of materials to the staff.
That afternoon, Xiao Yunhai took the materials and flew to the World Patent Association in New York.
All that's done, all that's left is to wait for the Patent Association's reply.
Xiao Yunhai didn't stay in New York much, but flew to the Magic Special Effects Company and met Daniel.
"Daniel, let me tell you the good news, our new special effects technology for film and television has been successfully developed and is waiting for the approval of the Patent Association. The simulation degree is 97%, and the efficiency has increased by 60%. The world's first status It's really established."
Hearing this, Daniel jumped up excitedly and said, "Boss, that's great."
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "I'll call you in a while, and then you will send a group of people to study. This time it's brand new, and it will take at least a month to fully understand it."
Daniel nodded and said, "I understand."
Xiao Yunhai asked, "Is there any big news in Hollywood recently?"
Daniel said: "Yes. The eight major Hollywood studios have been sued."
"Sue the eight major companies?" Xiao Yunhai asked in surprise, "Who has the guts to do this? What's the reason?"
Daniel said: "The plaintiffs are all small and medium-sized film and television companies in Hollywood, and the reason is monopoly."
It turned out that the reason why the eight major Hollywood film companies can become giant enterprises is because they have the ability from film production to distribution.
Other small and medium-sized film and television companies do not have their own theaters and cannot distribute them. After filming, they can only ask their eight major companies to help show them.
Although the international film distribution standard is 43% for the producer and 57% for the distributor, in fact, the producer cannot get so much money. If you want people to agree to show their films, they must give them a rebate, and some small companies can even give the other party a 15% bonus.
For a movie with a box office of hundreds of millions, it is very good for small and medium-sized film and television companies to get 30 million. Over time, which company can stand it.
In recent years, the entertainment industry has developed rapidly, and many rich people have entered the industry with huge sums of money. According to statistics, Hollywood has established more than 30 film and television companies in just two years.
Faced with the oppression of the eight major film companies, these rich people will not be polite. They got together and discussed it, and they spent huge sums of money to hire three of the most powerful law firms in the United States, directly under the name of monopolizing film distribution and destroying the development of the industry. , brought the eight major film companies to court.
In fact, such incidents also happened in the 1950s in the previous life, and the final result was that the eight major companies were forced to sell their theater chains under the anti-monopoly law.
This world is a full fifty years later than before.
This incident has nothing to do with Xiao Yunhai, because he only owns 10% of the Universal theater chain and 5% of the Paramount theater chain, and the anti-monopoly law cannot find him at all.
However, he could profit from it.
Universal and Paramount are not enough for his film needs, because they add up to less than half of the country.
If you can have theaters covering the United States and even the entire North America, then you are done.
For Xiao Yunhai, he doesn't need the dominance of the theater, as long as he has the right to speak in the theater and can not hinder his movie screening, then that's fine.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai said to Daniel, "Do you think they can win?"
Daniel said: "All America knows that the eight major film companies will definitely lose, which is obvious at a glance. Everyone is saying that Hollywood will soon enter a chaos of competition for hegemony. If the eight major film companies do not have theaters, they will be in a very difficult situation. big predicament."
Xiao Yunhai said: "When will the judgment be made?"
Daniel thought for a while and said, "It should take less than a week. Even if the eight major film companies want to delay the judgment, it is impossible for the rich people behind those companies to give them this opportunity. Compared with this, these people have a deeper relationship. The only uncertainty is how the court will decide?"
Xiao Yunhai nodded and said with a smile, "I'm quite interested in their theaters."
