King of Special Effects

After getting off the highway, a light truck drove directly to the gate of Liangyi Media studio in Shunning.

Pulled on the car are brand new clothing and several customized props.

This is the costume for Yi Yang's next movie "The Three-Body Problem".

All the preparations for this movie are going on intensely, and now it has entered winter, and after several days of light rain, the average temperature in Sunning is only four degrees.

The staff who were busy with the studio layout had to work with the air conditioner on.

Yi Yang came here only in the morning, and the script has been prepared. After the main actors are confirmed, now Tan Xincheng is busy looking for other actors.

There is also Yuan Zhengzhong's concept map. Although it has only been started for a month, the speed of progress is quite good. The few of them can design at least a dozen plot screens every day.

What kind of scene is that scene, which is described in detail in the script, they just need to follow the script to complete it.

The other is Amin's studio layout and Su Yan's search for new locations.

This movie still needs a lot of on-site scenes. Although Yi Yang can use special effects to produce all these places, he doesn't need to do so if he can find a place to shoot.

Su Yanxin took people to find a place, and Amin was in charge of the reconstruction of the studio alone.

The custom-made clothes arrived today, and he brought Yi Yang to check the goods.

"All the custom-made clothes are on this car. There are more than 1,600 sets of various clothes, all of which are rushed out by the clothing factory in the next city according to the design drawings we sent over."

Yi Yang took a set of plastic-wrapped clothes and touched the material. Clothes of this quality may tear if they are torn.

But these clothes are not very practical, and clothes with such a shape can't be worn out after filming.

"Let the people in the clothing team put the clothes in the warehouse for safekeeping. It's too early to leave for shooting. Don't lose the clothes before the machine is turned on."

A Ming nodded, took out his mobile phone and called the leader of the clothing team, asking him to bring someone over to collect the clothes.

The other is the layout of the props group. Some props on this car are to be placed directly on the shooting site. This also requires people to complete. Amin also called the props group over.

Now "Progress" has occupied the top five positions in the global movie box office, and the ranking becomes more difficult as it advances.

From the very beginning, Yi Yang held great hopes for this "Three-Body Problem". According to his own thinking, this will be the pinnacle of Liangyi Media.

In fact, Liangyi Media is already at its peak, just relying on one movie.

Many film companies have been developing for decades, but they can't do something like Yi Yang.

·····

Huayi's efficiency is very high. In just a few days, they have already confirmed the release of "Progress" in Australia, but the specific schedule and release time are yet to be discussed.

Zoji Entertainment also sent back good news within a few days. Twenty-four theaters in the UK in Western Europe agreed to screen "Progress".

The British film market ranks high in the world. When the number of moviegoers in the five Nordic countries and France has dropped many times, only the United Kingdom has bucked the trend and achieved annual box office growth relying on the support of local films.

For a long time, the local market has been dominated by Hollywood movies. Although the proportion of Chinese movies in the UK market is far lower than that of Hollywood movies, they still have a fixed audience.

Many Chinese-language films released in the UK have achieved satisfactory results for both theaters and distributors.

Of course, in order to adapt to the differences in film culture, Chinese-language films released in the UK will be shown in relatively small cinemas.

For example, OPS Cinema, which screens the most Chinese-language movies in the country, but this cinema has only four screening halls in the London area, and each screening hall can only accommodate no more than 100 people.

Moreover, according to past data, the size of theaters that can generally accept Chinese-language movies is about the same as that of OPS.

According to the feedback from the release project team of Zaoji "Progress", sixteen of the 24 theaters that agreed to release the movie are small-scale theaters, and there are only eight theaters that can be considered large. As far as these eight theaters are concerned, the schedule for this film is not high. Three of them only show one show a day, four have two shows, and one has four shows.

This is the best result Zaoji can achieve.

They divided the "Progress" publishing agency project team into two groups, one group is responsible for the UK, and the other group is responsible for Germany and France.

Market development in Europe is carried out in these three countries.

And even this is still difficult. For example, in Paris, the agency team spent four days, but they didn't talk about the next theater.

They had no choice but to put it aside temporarily and go to the major theaters in Germany to talk.

Although there are fewer domestic films released in this place, it does not mean that there are no such films as "Youth", "Where Has Time Gone" and "Twenty Two" in the past few years.

Although it was released in only two cities, it did not achieve much success.

This time, Yi Yang didn't have too high expectations for this place, he just hoped that the box office won by this movie after its release would not make the distribution agent lose money.

If you can't even earn back the air ticket money and food and accommodation money for the agency team, it will really make people laugh out loud.

Australia has negotiated, and the UK has also negotiated similarly. What Yi Yang is looking forward to most now is the Tianzhu market.

This is a place that should not be underestimated. It is second only to the Chinese market and the third largest film market in the world.

Over the past few years, the film cooperation between the two parties has grown significantly. There are many domestic films screened in Tianzhu, and there are also many Tianzhu films screened in the mainland.

The film market cooperation between the two parties has been going on for a long time, and Yi Yang is also benefited from Huayi now, and the possibility of opening up is very high.

As soon as Yi Yang returned to the office, he received a call from Wu Jin.

Not for the overseas release of "Progress", but to ask again when "Three-Body Problem" will start.

He promised Yi Yang that he would come to play a cameo, and now he can't wait to see how he looks.

The launch time of "Three-Body" is still only in a rough range: early next year, it should be around March or April at the latest.

The specific time depends on how the preparations are progressing.

"The Climber", which was released in August, achieved good results and once caused a hot topic.

But after Yiyang's "Progress" was released in October, the topic of "The Climber" was snatched away for two months.

Until now, directors Wu Jin and Li Rengang are still rejoicing. They originally planned to release this movie on National Day.

But because of the big IP "Transformers 6" released on the National Day file, they decided to release the movie ahead of schedule.

Facts have proved that their decision is very correct. They may still achieve good results in Hard Steel "Change 6", but they will never be able to resist the "Progress" that came out halfway.

This is a movie that even a veteran IP like "Change 6" can't beat.
