Chapter 55 Meeting

Wang Hao had already anticipated the questions from the team members, so he had made preparations in advance.

At this moment, he began to answer everyone's questions calmly.

“I will figure out the film’s funding issue. With the successful cooperation we had last time, the film channel will definitely support us strongly.

As for the special effects, Zhang Yang, you can start preparing in advance according to the script outline."

"Our movies are broadcast on televisions. The picture clarity is there, so even if the special effects are a little worse, the audience won't be able to tell."

“If the special effects can be shot realistically, then do so. For the shark, we can learn from Jaws and try to create a suspenseful and terrifying atmosphere. And if it can be made into a model, then use a model.

It’s a 75-year-old movie, we can’t be worse than it.”

"We can also save a lot of money on the actors. The main role of this play is a young, beautiful and well-built young woman. We can directly choose newcomers in the industry and save a lot of money on the pay."

"Try to choose a place with water around Shangjing as the location. For safety reasons, it is best to shoot in a pond. It would be best if you can find an abandoned fish pond or swimming pool, which can save production time and expenses..."

As Wang Hao spoke, the others took notes, and soon, all the production issues regarding the new movie "The Shallows" were sorted out.

At the same time, this also made Zhang Yang and others full of confidence in the next project. After all, after Wang Hao's explanation, this project seemed to be quite promising.

From this aspect, we can also see how important a reliable director is.

After the new script was initially sorted out and ideas were unified, Wang Hao distributed the tasks reasonably.

At the end of the meeting, he did not forget to remind:
“Okay, you guys should prepare for the new movie first. Besides, we have a meeting this weekend where we need to summarize and discuss the problems we found in the previous movie.

I hope you will think about this carefully and make sure you have something to say so that we can lay a good foundation for our next film."

Everyone present nodded in agreement, and after the meeting, Wang Hao turned his attention to attracting investment.

Of course, when it comes to "pulling" investment, he actually has only one option at the moment, which is to continue looking for his uncle to make money.

Wang Hao had no embarrassment about this. Although he used connections, he also relied on his own real ability. Besides, good movies could also bring ratings to the movie channel. This kind of thing could be said to be mutually beneficial.

While he was busy organizing the new project plan, the influence of the movie "Buried" was also spreading.

After all, it is a work shot with their own money, and it is also one of the rare science fiction films in the country. The movie channel will certainly not just play it once and then put it on the shelf.

So during this period, the movie channel rebroadcast "Buried" several times.

As more and more viewers watched the movie, more and more people discussed it, and the ratings of the movie channel naturally skyrocketed.

The film channel is of course happy to see this happen, and the staff at the station also have great respect for Lu Guotao, who single-handedly led this project.

However, there is only one person who is worried about this, and that is Chen Mingyong, who has resigned from BBK and is currently the CEO of OPPO Electronic Technology Information Co., Ltd.

As a science and engineering man, when he first saw the design draft in Wang Hao's hand, he knew that the mobile phone full of futuristic sci-fi atmosphere must be an epoch-making product. This is why he spent 100 million to buy the manuscript and sponsorship rights, and then hurried back to the company, stopped the MP4 project that had just been launched, and invested all his energy in the research and development of new products.

Now that the movie "Buried" has been successfully released, after seeing the performance of mobile phones in the movie, Chen Mingyong feels more and more that his decision was correct.

Compared with the mobile phones in the movies, all the mobile phones on the market today, including foreign products, have become so-called garbage.

Of course, Chen Mingyong didn’t know that Apple on the Bald Eagle side had already launched the “Project Purple” project last year.

But even if he didn't know it, after seeing the release of "Buried", his heart was filled with a sense of urgency.

There is no other reason, it’s just that the movie is so good, so good that people have already started discussing the smartphone in the movie on various mobile phone forums and technology forums on the Internet.

After all, it is one of the main props of the movie. Although it only shows a few limited functions, the black technologies such as full touch screen, virtual keyboard, APP application, and gesture operation are already amazing.

Chen Mingyong didn't know what other people were thinking, but he knew that among those who had seen this movie, there must be some people with outstanding vision.

Perhaps, some people have already been tempted and are ready to take action.

"Why do you say he made such a good movie? It's just one million, why would he risk his life for it?"

Of course, Wang Hao didn't know that the big boss who was thousands of miles away was blaming him. At this moment, he was sitting in his uncle's office, handing over the new movie project plan that he had spent several days to prepare.

Lu Guotao took the plan, flipped through it, looked at it for a few seconds, and then put it aside.

It’s not that he doesn’t value his nephew’s planning project, but with the performance of the first film as a foundation, he can fully trust Wang Hao’s ability.

"Is this the same as last time?"

Although he only took a quick glance, he still saw the general content. Combined with the concept of "science fiction movie universe" that Wang Hao had told him before, he could guess it almost exactly.

Sure enough, Wang Hao nodded.

"Yes, in the first phase of the science fiction movie universe, I plan to shoot three movies, in a step-by-step manner, with scenes from simple to complex, and actors from a small number to a large number, gradually expanding the 'science fiction movie universe'.

So this movie is still the same as the last one, a stream-of-consciousness soft sci-fi thriller with a single setting and a cast of rookies.

But unlike the previous film, this time we saved money on actors’ salaries and used new actors, but the cost was actually higher because we needed to spend more on the special effects of the film.”

“Special effects?!”

When Lu Guotao heard this, he finally showed an interested look on his face.
Although "Buried" shot by Wang Hao before was claimed to be a science fiction film, in fact there were not many special effects scenes in it, and it won more by the ups and downs of the plot.

Fortunately, it seems that after achieving initial success, Wang Hao seems to have become much bolder in the production of new films.
