Chapter 328 Spielberg Comes to the Door
Even so, the director team of "Season" is still proud of it.

"The main reason I cooperated with South Korea was to see how the Korean staff worked. I went to the set every day to observe his working mode and how he communicated with the Korean staff. This allowed me to learn from the perspective of Korean filmmakers and how I should do better."

"The director team, the sound recording team, etc. are all the teams I brought over from China. But in post-production, we must use Korean people."

"The Tiangong may be OK in the palace, but for a big production like ours, we still have to find a team from South Korea!"

Director Ku Zi always likes to express his ideas in front of the media. Especially when encountering such a rare big production, of course he has to publicize the cooperation between China and Korea all over the world.

Because in his opinion, with the cooperation of foreigners, the value of the movie will increase rapidly, right?

Besides, isn’t this the same routine you, Shen Lang?
Find a foreign post-production team to do it, package it as a Tiangong work, and then make money in China?

I understand, I understand everything!

But you are just fooling people who don't know what's going on.

After Shen Lang found out about this, he was so angry that he almost laughed.

There are fools every year, but there are especially many this year. If you don’t believe me, at least make a phone call and ask. Is it that difficult?

Oh, you are a big director, so please don’t say anything, right?

Okay, if you want to be a sucker, then it’s up to you. The Heavenly Palace will not serve you.

While Director Pants was busy preparing for the filming of "Seasons" with his South Korean team, Jialan Films welcomed one of the most famous directors on the planet, Steven Spielberg.

Spielberg came this time at the invitation of Shen Lang through John.

His main purpose was to find a more cost-effective and high-quality film post-production industrial contractor for his new work "Jurassic Park".

When John introduced Tiangong of China to him, he had never heard of the name of this company.

He has his own film special effects team that he works with all year round.

But when he saw the special effects of "Train to Busan" and the cost of producing it, he decided to fly to China.

On the first night after arriving in China, it was getting late, so after attending the dinner arranged for him by Shen Lang, he rested.

The next morning, he sat in the conference room of Tiangong Image and listened to Wang Peipei introduce the product in fluent English.

Wang Peipei and He Cang were both a little nervous. They really didn't expect that when Shen Lang agreed to invite the director team of "Jurassic Park 2" to visit, Spielberg actually came in person.

As the technical director, Wang Peipei calmed down and said to Spielberg, "Mr. Steven, welcome. First, please allow me to introduce..."

Spielberg interrupted Wang Peipei with a smile and said, "Miss, I think it would be better to go directly to the process that I am most concerned about!"

Wang Peipei was interrupted by Spielberg, and she became even more nervous. She subconsciously turned to look at Shen Lang and Gu Jialan.

Shen Lang smiled and said, "Just answer whatever Steven wants to know. Whether it can be done or not is just a matter of one sentence. Don't waste Steven's time. He is a very busy man!"

Spielberg laughed and said, "Jeff, John said you are a straightforward and good person, and it's true!"

"How about this, I'll ask a few questions first, and then decide whether to proceed to the next step!"

Shen Lang made a gesture of invitation.

“How can you make the dinosaurs in my movie feel real to the audience?”

The first question was very tricky, but fortunately Wang Peipei had already thought about this problem.

"Steven, we have never seen what dinosaurs look like, but we have seen large animals in this world, such as giraffes and elephants!"

"So!" She turned her laptop around and saw two giant brachiosaurs moving among the trees on the screen.

One of them raised its two front legs like an elephant, as if it was angry.

There was also one that was leisurely eating fresh leaves from the tall tree crown.

I saw this brachiosaurus eating leaves like a giraffe. It rolled its tongue and a large leaf was wrapped into its mouth.

Spielberg obviously didn't expect that Tiangong could really make such a sophisticated animation. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "What if a group of chicken dragons walked past you in a group? How would you deal with it?"

Wang Peipei didn't expect that the second question was even more tricky and directly hit the weak spot of Tiangong.

But Shen Lang nodded at her encouragingly, and Wang Peipei shook her head and told the truth: "This is a bit difficult for us."

"Oh?" Spielberg asked curiously, "What's the difficulty?"

"We have no problem with post-production CG effects, but in order to make the whole movie more realistic, we need to make a Chicken Dragon model that is closer to reality. Just one will do. This model cannot be a bad one. It must be a mechanical model with real skin, muscles and movement textures! Mr. Steven, I'm sorry, this is not our strong point!"

"But I know that Industrial Light & Magic in your country can make it happen. If you give the project to us, we will contact Industrial Light & Magic as soon as possible!"

Spielberg immediately became interested in Wang Peipei after hearing this: "Are you familiar with the post-production market in the United States?"

“Yes, my college classmate is a project manager at Industrial Light & Magic!”

Spielberg smiled and said, "Industrial Light & Magic can also do CG post-production. So why should I hand this job over to you? Why don't I just give it to Industrial Light & Magic? It would be easier this way."

"It will be easier for you to leave it to them, but it will save you money if you leave it to us!" Wang Peipei said firmly.

Spielberg was stunned when he heard this. He is a world-famous over-budget director.

The big film companies in Hollywood tremble in fear when they hear his name.

With a budget of 10 million, he could spend 1 billion US dollars in the end.

Such a reputation caused him to encounter many obstacles when filming movies.

Everyone wants to make a movie as cheaply as possible and as realistically as possible.

But is this realistic?

The little girl opposite told herself that she could make her budget smaller.

"In this movie, the Indominus raptor is the protagonist. I can ask Industrial Light & Magic to make the model, but how long will it take you to realize the shots of these dinosaurs drooling? How much will it cost?"

"Just this one shot?" Wang Peipei asked curiously.

"On a!"

"Well, this is considered a single project. It will only take about ten minutes, and the budget is almost negligible!"

Upon hearing this, Spielberg froze in his chair, unable to speak for a long time.

Just this one shot, if it were put in a large company in Europe or America, it would take at least more than 20 minutes and tens of thousands of dollars!
And the other party...ignores it...what the hell?

Wang Peipei didn't waste any words and said, come on, let's go first!
Ten minutes later... a ten-second video clip of Cang Jinkong yawning and drooling was placed in front of Spielberg.

Spielberg swallowed his saliva and said, "I think we can draft a contract of intent! Please give me an offer for the formal contract after you finish reading the script!"

Shen Lang and Gu Jialan smiled at each other. As expected, as long as the service is of good quality and cheap, there is no need to worry about business. Just sit at home and count the money!
