Chapter 331 The office space is too small, so buy a building
The head of the special effects team is Tang Yuanrui.

He is a very young man.

When Tang Yuanrui was first called into Lin Yicheng's office, he was a little nervous.

Speaking of which, the special effects department is quite inconspicuous in Galaxy Film and Television Company.

You can’t say that grandma doesn’t love you and your uncle doesn’t care about you.

But compared with departments such as the film department, television department, and script creative department, it seems less important.

Except that Lin Yicheng's works sometimes use them more or less.

Because the asking price was too high.

This special effects team simply can’t get any orders from other companies.

It inevitably gives people a feeling of doing nothing all day, just eating but not working.

When reporting the current situation of the special effects team to Lin Yicheng, Tang Yuanrui spoke haltingly.

The content of what he said was also dry.

After saying this, Tang Yuanrui looked at Lin Yicheng carefully.

There was no expression on his face.

Tang Yuanrui was a little panicked.

I thought Lin Yicheng was dissatisfied.

He quickly said, "Boss Lin, I know our price is a bit high, but it's really a fair price. The cost we paid and the effect we achieved are definitely worth the price."

"Boss Lin, how about this? From me to the rest of the team, we can all reduce our salaries..."

Tang Yuanrui asked nervously.

The salary of their team is indeed very high, much higher than that of their peers in the industry.

Tang Yuanrui felt bad for taking such a high salary but not creating any profit for the company.
-

"That's not necessary. Don't think too much. I asked you to come here today for something else."

Lin Yicheng smiled and waved his hand.

The reason why he had a blank expression on his face just now was because some of the words Tang Yuanrui used in his report were professional terms, which he did not understand, and he was trying to figure out what they meant.

I didn't expect Tang Yuanrui to misunderstand like this.

Seeing the smile on Lin Yicheng's face, Tang Yuanrui's heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down a little.

"I want to ask, with your current abilities and technology, can you expand into other fields? For example, animation and games."

After hearing what Lin Yicheng said, Tang Yuanrui was stunned at first, and then a look of joy appeared on his face.

If their team really expands the business, their position in the company will definitely not be what it is now.

"Yes! Of course I can!"

Tang Yuanrui first patted his chest and made a promise.

Then, he was no longer nervous, his tone stopped stuttering, and he began to talk to Lin Yicheng incessantly.

Design, programming, software, rendering, etc...

Lin Yicheng felt overwhelmed after hearing this.

He really loves and hates people like "programmers".

What I love, of course, is their abilities and talents.

What we hate is naturally this problem of theirs.

When it comes to professional matters, what is said sounds like a foreign language to people who don't know the subject.

"Stop, stop, stop talking..."

Lin Yicheng interrupted quickly.

If he continued listening, his head would explode.

"So, when you go back, you can divide the work according to the actual situation of the team."

"Divide your team into three groups, responsible for special effects, animation, and gameplay."

"If you need any talent, just go find them and recruit them."

"Make a list of the funding, equipment, and so on, and I'll ask the finance department to approve it for you."

"I will also give you some animation and game projects when your team is almost ready."

"I only have one request, to form a team as soon as possible and form combat effectiveness as soon as possible."

"Are you confident?"

Lin Yicheng's few words made Tang Yuanrui's blood boil.

A scholar dies for a confidant.

The boss treated him like this, giving him food, wages and guns when he asked for them.

If he can't build a team that can fight, he will have no face to stay in the company or in the industry.

"Don't worry, Mr. Lin. I can set up a team in a month at most. When the time comes, just give us the tasks and we will definitely get them done for you! If we can't do it, you can fire me!"

"That's not the case. Just work hard."

Lin Yicheng said with a smile.
-

After Tang Yuanrui went out, Lin Yicheng thought about it.

Dividing the special effects team into three groups increased the number of personnel and equipment.

The company's existing space is even more limited.

Once these three groups develop and become independent subsidiaries, it will be even more difficult to arrange venues.

Now, he has rented two floors in the building.

The other floors were already occupied, so he couldn't rent any more.

It’s time to buy a building that belongs to “Galaxy”.

At that time, we will integrate some of our subsidiaries and put them all in one building.

It is not only about integrating resources, but also about improving the work efficiency of each subsidiary and department.

The traffic in Beijing is so congested that Lin Yicheng is really fed up with being stuck in traffic wherever he goes.

A lot of his time was wasted in traffic jams.

So Lin Yicheng called Li Yuefang in.

"Contact the owner of this building and ask if he is interested in selling it."

Lin Yicheng’s first target is naturally the building where the company is currently located.

The company has many people and equipment, so moving is too troublesome and will also affect normal work.

This building has a good location and position, and has huge potential for future appreciation.

Although the building is not very high, with only seventeen floors, it is more than enough to accommodate the existing "Galaxy", so it will not be a waste if you buy it.

Moreover, it has been six years since we moved here in 2004.

This building has witnessed the entire process of Lin Yicheng's transformation from a green and inexperienced boy to a "billionaire".

Over the years, Lin Yicheng has basically been smooth sailing.

This building is his blessed land.

"If that doesn't work, take a look at other similar buildings nearby, similar to this one."

Lin Yicheng added another sentence.

"Okay boss, I'll do it right away."

Li Yuefang nodded in agreement.
-

"Also, let that person stay quiet for now. You can arrange for him to travel abroad or something. He won't be needed in the short term."

Lin Yicheng ordered.

From "the number one paparazzi in the world" to "the number four paparazzi in the world".

Zhuo Wei really stole the spotlight.

But no one is stupid.

Once or twice is ok.

But this has happened four times already.

Every time it is absolutely explosive and absolutely accurate.

It’s easy to figure out that this so-called “Tianxia” paparazzi is just one person or a group, a dog specially raised by a big boss.

If this continues, Zhuo Wei will be targeted sooner or later.

Some people don't dare to do anything to Lin Yicheng, the master, but they have no scruples towards Zhuo Wei, the dog.

In his previous life, Zhuo Wei was severely punished.

If I didn't have some life-saving cards in my hand...

Maybe this "China's No. 1 paparazzi" has already disappeared...

Although Zhuo Wei was somewhat reluctant when he first joined Lin Yicheng.

But since joining us, he has really worked hard and done a great job.

Lin Yicheng is not a cold-blooded person and would not do anything that would chill people's hearts.

Moreover, Zhuo Wei is a good knife that will be of great use in the future, and he doesn't want to see this good knife broken by someone.

The trend of "Treasure Hunters" is quite stable.

In early September, the decline remained below 9%.

As of September 9, "The Raiders" has successfully broken the record of "Taken", with a cumulative box office of 10 million.

It’s almost the same as Lin Yicheng expected.

On September 9, the box office of "The Thieves" successfully exceeded 14 million.

It officially became the first domestic film in history to break 9 million. After entering mid-September, the decline was still within 15% to 20%.

"The Thieves" has been reaping the box office revenue at a leisurely pace, and it has great staying power.

Zhang Hongsen is indeed one of us.

Lin Yicheng’s previous investment was also worthwhile.

Before Lin Yicheng could even open his mouth, Zhang Hongsen took the initiative to send out the extension key for "The Treasure Hunters".

"The Heist" will extend its run for another month!
That is to say, from its release on August 8 to early November, "The Raiders" will be in theaters for almost 25 days!

This situation was still common more than 20 years ago, before the reform.

But since the reform, except for certain movies produced by certain studios, the longest screening period for others is only more than 50 days.

Generally speaking, even if some movies can get the extension key, it will only be extended by ten days or half a month.

The release date of "The Heist" has been postponed for a month, which is a first in film history!

The industry was immediately shocked.

But they couldn't say anything.

Who made Lin Yicheng so ambitious?

Not only can it sweep domestic box office records, but it can also gain ground in East Asian countries.

They can only envy this ability that can earn both face and substance, and bring honor to those above them.
-

It was actually quite a hassle for Zhang Hongsen to get the one-month extension key.

After all, there is no precedent.

Zhang Hongsen wrote two reports in a row and also used some connections before he successfully got it.

Of course, he worked so hard not just for Lin Yicheng.

This is only part of the reason.

The key point is that "The Thieves" was only planned, filmed and released after Zhang Hongsen officially became the boss.

This order cannot be messed up.

This means that this is Zhang Hongsen’s credit and political achievement!
Now, Zhang Hongsen is even more looking forward to "Duobao Alliance" successfully breaking 1 billion than Lin Yicheng himself.

Zhang Hongsen told Lin Yicheng on the phone.

He has already said hello.

Waiting for the National Day.

There will be relevant units and organizations to book the venue.

How can the benefits not be distributed?

Watching movies is also a benefit.

Besides.

In order for "The Treasure Hunters" to break 1 billion, Zhang Hongsen added a double insurance.

Well, there is no specific document and no clear instructions.

Anyway, several Hollywood blockbusters originally scheduled to be released in October have been inexplicably postponed.

Postponed to mid-November or end of November.

Perfectly avoiding "The Heist".

What do you mean by coincidence?
what?
Do Hollywood producers have any objections?
Do you think I am willing to pay attention to you?
Just follow the arrangements obediently.

Come on, believe it or not, you can release several of your films on the same day?
Let you experience what “…characteristics” are!
Lin Yicheng readily accepted Zhang Hongsen's kindness.

He neither steals box office revenue nor moves box office revenue. He acts upright and honestly. What is there to be embarrassed about?

Some minor flaws are okay.

When "The Heist" finally breaks 1 billion, who will care about those minor flaws?
When his future movies continue to break 1 billion, or even 2 billion, 3 billion or even more, who will remember those minor flaws?
The victor is beyond reproach.

A winner who always wins will never be blamed!

On September 9, the 18 million box office mark in front of "The Thieves" was like a membrane that broke with a single poke.

On September 9, "League of Legends" successfully exceeded 25 million, and is very close to the goal of billion.

At this time, although the daily box office of the movie has dropped to tens of millions, the trend is still very stable.

Industry peers, various media, countless audiences...

Everyone is paying attention to "The Heist", waiting for the day when a miracle happens.

Tencent News has created a very interesting webpage.

The most eye-catching thing is the three numbers and a picture in the middle.

There are three numbers: one is the cumulative box office of "The Heist", one is the daily box office of the movie, and the other is how far it is from the billion mark.

These three numbers change every day.

That picture is a moving picture.

On the body of a rocket, the four characters "Treasure Hunting Alliance" were written in bold black ink.

As those three numbers change, the Rockets move too.

The flame at the bottom of the rocket was constantly gushing out, and its position was constantly rising.

It gives people the feeling that it can break through the atmosphere and rush into the galaxy at any time.

This Tencent webpage attracts millions of views every day.

Some people have even developed a habit.

When the box office data is released in the afternoon every day, please visit this page.

Let’s see when the rocket of “The Heist” will finally take off.

Tencent is doing this.

NetEase, a staunch ally in the “galaxy”, is not willing to lag behind.

NetEase did something cool.

They held a quiz with prizes.

Guess the day when "League of Legends" will successfully break 1 billion.

All viewers who guess correctly will receive prizes.

The first ten viewers to guess correctly will receive a huge prize!

With this cool move, NetEase really attracted a wave of traffic.

The total number of people who participated in the guessing game is more than 4000 million!

This is more than one-third of the country’s Internet users!
-

10 month 1 day.

This is a day of national celebration.

For some people, today is a day of double happiness.

"The Heist" has broken one billion!
Ends at 9:30 am on September 12th.

"The Thieves" has a cumulative box office of 10 billion!
Normally, according to the normal trend, it wouldn't be this fast.

But is "The Raiders" a normal movie?

From September 9th to September 27th, for three consecutive days.

The box office of "The Heist" is falling every day!

In the end, the box office revenue exceeded 6500 million in three days!
The whole place is booked.

And he just arrived.

The market will continue to fall for a few more days!

This "unbelievable" trend left colleagues stunned.

First there was the extension key, then there were various private bookings.

This kind of treatment is truly unparalleled.

Boss Lin is worthy of being Boss Lin.

However, Lin Yicheng himself was not very happy.

It’s not because of the movie box office.

Instead, the 2010th Busan International Film Festival will be held in 15.

He has to go to Bangzi again.

Last time, he was really hurt by the bad feng shui of the Koreans.

I really don't want to go.

But I have to go.

Gotta get the award.

Using "take" to describe it may not be accurate.

It would be almost the same if you changed it to something like "shopping spree".

　A bit difficult to stretch.

Yesterday’s 35, I was locked up for most of the day again.

It was released only after being edited.

Lin Yicheng has double happiness.

Misfortunes never come singly.

The originally good chapter 184 was also included.

Ugh.

Again, guys, please try to read on.
