MTL - This Star is Legal But Sick-Chapter 476 What is luxury!

Chapter 476 What is luxury!

 50 million is definitely not a lot, at least for the first part of "Armor Warrior".

On Earth, this drama was filmed in 2008. At that time, the investment in this drama had reached 20 million.

At that time, the house price in Chaoyang District of Beijing was just over 10,000 per square meter. Now the house price in Chaoyang District is almost 100,000 per square meter.

If all the 20 million at that time were used to buy a house in the capital, after a few years of reselling it, several small goals would definitely be achieved.

  It is conceivable that in that era, the drama "Armor Warrior" was definitely considered a big investment.

 At present, investing 50 million is just the most basic.

As for if there is not enough money later, Xu Ye will continue to invest money to make this drama a success.

Compared with the many problems encountered during the filming of "Armor Warrior" on Earth, it is not a problem for Xu Ye now.

 First of all, in terms of special effects technology, today’s special effects technology is much better than it was then.

The production of this drama must have taken much longer than the TV dramas he filmed.

Wang Zhibo fell silent after hearing this.

 But it sounds different to Wang Zhibo.

What he wants to do is not just to film "Armor Warrior" on Earth, but to make it better.

It will probably take two or three months for Wang Zhibo to produce all the props that the crew will use, and it will not be until next year if the crew starts filming.

  Secondly, the advancement of photography technology and the film and television drama industry has made it possible to shoot many shots that could not be shot before.

When Wang Zhibo took him to the work station outside, Xu Ye keenly sensed something was wrong.

The two communicated about the production of these special effects props, and Xu Ye also told Wang Zhibo about the effects he needed in terms of computer special effects.

 “Let’s go later.” Xu Ye said.

 The cheers were followed by silence.

Xu Ye immediately had a bad feeling in his heart.

“Then I’ll go out and make arrangements first.” Wang Zhibo said.

If we can get the script of the Emperor Man movie later, we can definitely make the movie.

 After finishing the chat, Xu Ye was ready to leave.

Wang Zhibo immediately said: "Okay, Mr. Xu."

Who is Xu Ye? One look at Wang Zhibo's expression and he knew that this man must not be holding anything good in his heart.

Wang Zhibo left the conference room in a hurry.

 Xu Ye has no worries about this.

Xu Ye continued: "Money is not an issue, filming the show is more important. I will send you the design drawings later, so you can start preparations with your people."

After the show becomes popular, just by selling toys, it will be enough to make back the production costs, and it will be a steady profit.

He has to make all these special effects props and make them very precise, even to the extent that they can still withstand ultra-high-definition lenses.

  Xu Ye will not be stingy in investing in special effects.

This is the cheers of a group of people.

At this time, Wang Zhibo suddenly thought of something and said with a smile: "Mr. Xu, when are you leaving?"

 As for whether he will lose money in the end, Xu Ye is not worried at all.

 Not long after, Wang Zhibo came back.

 50 million to shoot a special photo drama, what if you lose money?

 You won’t have to sell the company in the end, right?

Wang Zhibo quickly said: "Mr. Xu, I think 50 million is a bit too much. There is no such precedent in the country."

 Is it a problem that the cost is high but not profitable?

The premise is that the play must be popular among children.

 Because the most profitable aspect of tokusatsu dramas has never been the TV series itself, but the peripheral toys.

But these will have to wait until "Armor Warrior" is filmed before being produced.

  After all, he does this to others too!

Not long after Wang Zhibo went out, Xu Ye heard cheers coming from the workstation outside.

Xu Ye asked instead: "Don't you want to use the best technology to take pictures of these armors?"

For no other reason, Xu Ye simply wanted to experience the feeling of the emperor's armor being combined. It was worth every penny.

 He wanted to give Xu Ye a warning.

 In this world, copyright management is also stricter.

 As a fan of tokusatsu dramas, how could he not want to?

Adults may not have imagined that the sales of peripheral toys of "Armor Warrior" alone are in the hundreds of millions. This is only the sales within three years after the release of "Armor Warrior", and only the genuine ones are counted, not pirated ones.

 You can’t spend it like this even if you have money.

Wang Zhibo is not a grudger. Since Xu Ye said that money is not an issue, he will definitely spend money ruthlessly.

 The way all the employees looked at him was unusual.

At this moment, Wang Zhibo smiled and said: "Mr. Xu, before you leave, everyone has something to say to you."

As soon as Wang Zhibo finished speaking, all the employees stood up and walked behind Wang Zhibo.

 Xu Ye had already anticipated what was going to happen.

 Sure enough, at this time, the administrative girl put a Bluetooth speaker on the table, and then the singing started.

 “I’ll give you a little heart and a flower~”

With the singing, Wang Zhibo took the lead in dancing, and other employees followed Wang Zhibo's movements.

It's just that compared to Wang Zhibo's skilled movements, the others' movements are very unfamiliar. It can only be said that they are following along.

Wang Zhibo dances this dance with his daughter every day and has learned it long ago.

At this time, the man following Xu Ye was dumbfounded.

 He was introduced to Xu Ye by Wang Xu and is an investment consultant who specializes in acquisitions.

This acquisition order is worth 60 million. Even among the businesses he handles, the transaction amount is relatively large and rare.

 But the scene in front of me was even more **** rare.

 Who are these people?

Looking at the group of people dancing to the song, the investment consultant’s toes were already tightly clenched on the soles of his leather shoes.

 In short, it is very uncomfortable.

 In other acquisition projects, the scene is very high-end.

 This is the dance of "Listen to Me and Thank You".

But what he didn't expect was that in this extremely embarrassing situation, so embarrassing that he didn't even dare to move, Xu Ye started to move.

 Xu Ye's movements were very simple. He also started dancing, and he danced face to face with Wang Zhibo.

 In an instant, the investment consultant became even more embarrassed.

 Because he is the only one in the whole office who is not dancing.

 “Listen to me and say thank you, because of you~”

 “Warm the four seasons~”

When the words "thank you" rang out, Xu Ye and Wang Zhibo bowed to each other.

 As long as I am not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed.

Xu Ye's expression was as usual, and Wang Zhibo and a group of people dancing in front of him were simply doing what they did best.

 It is impossible to embarrass me!

The words "thank you" rang out again, and Xu Ye and Wang Zhibo bowed to each other again.

The people on Wang Zhibo’s side are obviously getting involved too.

 In the current situation, whoever stops will be embarrassed, and the result is that no one dares to stop.

 The investment consultant on the side couldn't stand it anymore. If the floor under his feet hadn't been too hard, he felt like he was about to rent out a three-bedroom apartment.

 Finally, the investment consultant shouted in his heart: "What a sin!"

 After finishing speaking, he also jumped up following Xu Ye's movements.

Once a person starts to go crazy, the embarrassment disappears instantly.

 Even now he is dressed in a suit and leather shoes, looking like an urban white-collar worker.

This scene did not end until the song "Hear Me Say Thank You" came to an end.

After dancing, Xu Ye applauded and said: "Everyone danced very well. Let's keep up the good work."

 After saying that, Xu Ye went out like a normal person.

 The investment consultant on the side didn't come to his senses for a while, but he was dragged away by Xu Ye.

 After Xu Ye left, Wang Zhibo and others felt ashamed.

I didn’t feel it when I was dancing with Xu Ye just now, but now I think about it, what did I do just now?

Wang Zhibo’s original idea was very simple. Xu Ye’s album had just released the last song “Hear Me Say Thank You” a few days ago, so they simply performed this dance to express their gratitude.

There are quite a lot of people doing this dance online recently.

 But he didn't expect that it would be so embarrassing in the end.

 From the moment Xu Ye also started dancing, the atmosphere was different.

Thinking of this, Wang Zhibo said in a deep voice: "What happened here today is not allowed to be spread to outsiders!"

 Everyone immediately said: "It will definitely not be spread to outsiders!"

Just kidding, who dares to spread this dark history and lose face?

After Xu Ye and the investment consultant got into the car, the consultant asked: "Mr. Xu, have you decided on the name of the new company?"

Xu Ye said: "Let's just call it a big company."

 The investment consultant was stunned when he heard this.

 He thought about it carefully and then reacted.

This is just like a big studio.

Who gave you such a name?

 In the end, the investment consultant suppressed his idea of ​​making suggestions and went through the company's procedures accordingly.

Xu Ye's big move naturally cannot be hidden from people in the entertainment industry.

Linghai Special Effects Company originally provided services for film and television dramas, and it also has a lot to do with the entertainment industry. Xu Ye especially went to the company for an inspection, which basically confirmed this matter.

 At first, many reporters in the entertainment industry were confused after receiving this news from others.

 Xu Ye acquired a special effects company?

This thing sounds a bit weird.

Why is he buying a special effects company when he has nothing to do?

These entertainment reporters also quickly inquired through their respective connections. In the end, everyone was sure of the authenticity of this matter.

 It’s not fake news, it’s true!

However, even at this time, the entertainment reporter was not in a hurry to send the news.

Xu Ye is too insidious, what if he deceives everyone again.

All procedures for Linghai Special Effects Company were completed quickly, and relevant information about the company can be found on some platforms in China.

Entertainment reporters soon discovered that the name of Linghai Special Effects Company had changed, and the information about the actual controller had also changed.

 The new actual controller became a big studio, and the company name became a big film and television technology company.

 Until this moment, the entertainment reporters finally felt relieved.

The business information has been changed, so we can’t still lie to people, right?

So, this group of entertainment reporters immediately posted the news.

 Ever since Xu Ye’s new album was released, there hasn’t been much big news in the entertainment industry recently, but now we finally have some big news.

Sure enough, after this news was released, it immediately entered the top ten hot searches. Xu Ye is so popular now that he can be said to be a national star.

When many people look at the hot search list, they will click on the topic of Xu Ye’s acquisition of a special effects company.

  Just curious anyway.

The patients at Huohua Hospital are just looking for fun.

 After a group of patients clicked in and saw the content in the news, they immediately began to make fun of it.

 “That’s a big company, you really know how to name it!”

"What? Dean, you spent 60 million to acquire a special effects company. How did you get the money?!"

　　“Don’t you only get to eat potato chips during the holidays? You are so rich!”

 “Did you get that money from a good source?!”

“You managed to save so much money just by eating potato chips and instant noodles!”

Other celebrities make money, and the audience scolds them.

  Xu Ye makes money, and a group of netizens are joking. Xu Ye deserves to make so much money.

 With all the works he produced, it would be strange if he didn't make so much money.

These days, some popular celebrities want nothing, and they can still get sky-high salary, and they can easily buy a luxury house worth tens of millions.

Xu Ye’s spending power is far behind those of these celebrities.

The patients at Huohua Hospital also dug out previous comments made by Lin Shuo’s fans.

At that time, fans of Lin Shuo said that Xu Ye was a Phoenix man and that he and Xiao Xu were all together for money.

This is good, Xu Ye showed up and slapped him in the face.

A person who can spend 60 million in cash to acquire a special effects company, you say he pursues Xiao Xu for money, you say he is a Phoenix Man.

The phoenix has a money tree instead of a sycamore tree.

 Lin Shuo’s fans temporarily shut up.

 The difference is too obvious.

Lin Shuo himself has invested in business, but he only invested in hot pot restaurants, milk tea shops and snack bars, taking the route of harvesting fans.

 The final fate of such stores is basically to close down, and very few do well. The reason is also very simple. There are too many things about celebrities, and it is impossible to keep an eye on the company's operations.

 Furthermore, some celebrities don’t know how to do business.

But soon, this group of fans found a new angle.

“Xu Ye acquired the special effects company because he was rich. There is nothing praiseworthy about it. It was not just to make money, but to take orders through his connections in the industry.”

 That's right, celebrity acquisition companies are indeed nothing to be praised for. This is a normal business behavior.

 Xu Ye had no intention of publicizing this.

 Just bought a company with a mere 60 million.

 But now that this matter has been exposed by marketing accounts and the popularity is so high, it’s time to ride on the popularity.

 That afternoon, This is a Big Studio and Dream Building Studio posted a Weibo post together.

“This is a big studio will join forces with Dream Studio and That’s a big special effects studio to enter the domestic special effects drama industry. The new drama is already in preparation and is expected to be launched next year!”

 After that, That’s a big company also registered a Weibo, reposted this Weibo and said: “That’s a big studio will be responsible for all the special effects technology of this show.”

 That is the external name of a large company, that is, it is a large special effects studio.

 When this news came out, everyone was really confused.

 Many people have asked: "What is a tokusatsu drama?"

 Tokusatsu dramas are actually a niche subject, whether abroad or domestically. It is not surprising to have such doubts.

 Netizens also popularized the science for those who didn’t understand it, and everyone suddenly understood it.

“So it turns out that Xu Ye acquired the special effects company to shoot special filming dramas?”

“Isn’t the cost too high? It’s completely unnecessary.”

 “What is luxury? This is luxury! I bought a company for this drama!”

“I always feel like the director has been deceived. There are no good domestic tokusatsu dramas, so the money will definitely be wasted!”

　　Tokusatsu drama is an unfamiliar word to too many people.

 There are also a lot of negative voices popping up on the Internet.

 These were all within Xu Ye’s expectations.

 The heat is coming.

 At the very least, most people now know that Xu Ye is going to make a special drama, which will be good for the promotion of "Armor Warrior" later.

 Xu Ye didn't care about these things anymore.

As for the main work of "Armor Warrior", he has handed it over to Gao Leyong and a director he selected from Sound and Light Entertainment.

 It is impossible to find a professional tokusatsu drama director in China, there are none.

This director used to make short films. When Xu Ye was filming "Wulin Gaiden", this director was in the team and there was no problem with his quality.

 As for the rest, it is up to him to learn in practice.

As an animation director, Gao Leyong can provide some animation creation ideas and integrate them into the shooting of tokusatsu dramas.

 After all, the main audience of "Armor Warrior" is actually children, not adults.

 In terms of camera language, it is somewhat different from film and television dramas for adults.

 After arranging the affairs of "Armor Warrior", Xu Ye also received a message from Zhou Dachen.

 The post-production of "Unexpectedly" has been completed.

On Earth, when "Wan Wan Wan Fang" was launched, the supervision of online dramas was not that strict. "Wan Wan Wan Fang" adopted the method of self-examination and self-broadcasting by the video platform.

 But in this world, the supervision of online dramas has been formalized. If online dramas want to be officially launched on the video platform, they also need to obtain relevant documents.

 Xu Ye can take advantage of the loopholes, but there is no need. He is a legal citizen.

 “Then send it to trial.”

Cao Na, the team leader of the review department, looked confused after receiving the documents submitted by Zhou Dachen.

 This file is the wrong size.

For ordinary TV dramas, even if one episode is only twenty minutes long, the samples submitted are the clearest version and the size is more than one G.

 But the video file of each episode of "Unexpectedly" is very small, not as big as a movie of dozens of minutes.

“Could it be that the wrong document was sent?” Cao Na wondered in her heart.

 But among these documents, some are large and some are small, and it doesn’t look like the wrong document was sent.

 After all, you can’t just send the wrong files randomly.

After reading the text version of the information submitted, Cao Na was already confused.

She felt that she understood the story, but she also felt that she didn’t quite understand it.

 “This doesn’t seem to be a TV series?”

People in the review department are also human beings, and they also pay attention to the trends in the entertainment industry, and they also browse Weibo to see hot searches. Cao Na has seen the promotional content of the drama "Want to Expect" before.

 She remembered it was a comedy, and she thought it was a comedy like "Wulin Gaiden", but it seemed to be different from what she thought.

 “Let’s take a look first.”

 Cao Na opened the first episode.

 When the first episode started playing, a line of words appeared first.

“This program is sponsored by a big studio. Are you happy today?”

 After seeing this sentence, Cao Na smiled knowingly.

 Followed by the title of the first episode, there is a large paragraph of text under the title.

Just when Cao Na was about to watch, the screen went black, and then Wang Dachui's face appeared on the screen.

Wang Dachui, played by Xu Ye, has a paralyzed expression on his face and his eyes are looking ahead blankly.

The dubbing also sounded.

 “My name is Wang Dachui, I am an actor…”

 Cao Na hurriedly pressed the pause button. For a moment, she didn't know whether to go back and read the words under the title, or to continue reading what story was going to be told later.

 The type of this drama is very weird.

“Xu Ye’s face is so funny! This paralyzed expression was forced on him, it was not easy.”

Other stars want to perform complex expressions, but they only have a paralyzed face.

Xu Ye is different. He can't be paralyzed, so he can only act like a paralyzed face.

 Finally, Cao Na decided to go back to the front and take a look at what was written under the title.

 After returning, she could clearly see the words on it.

“Is it as hot as a dog? It’s a hot dog, woof woof woof,”

　　The set lunches provided by the crew are extremely unpalatable, but if you don’t eat them, you will definitely die.

Have to work **** acting today because it’s fifty yuan a day haha,

I am a man who wants to become an Asian movie star. I can definitely do it.

 Because I live at No. 431, West 5th Building, Asia Community. "

 Cao Na could still understand the first four sentences, but she didn't quite understand the last sentence.

 “What the **** is this!”

 Then, Cao Na continued to look down.

 As a result, she couldn't stop after looking at it.

The whole drama didn't take long. When she finished watching the whole drama, Cao Na had one sentence echoing in her mind.

 “My name is Wang Dachui, I never expected it.”

 She finally understood why the play was called Wan Wan Unexpected.

The plot of this drama really focuses on the unexpected, which is a perfect match for a **** like Xu Ye.

 Cao Na even suspected that Xu Ye's illness had infected the entire crew.

 She couldn’t stop laughing while watching this drama.

 Sometimes I find her embarrassed and funny at the same time.

 The most important thing is that she really didn’t expect that Xu Nanjia would be the heroine, wasn’t it?

Looking at the scenes in the drama, the heroine is obviously the cross-dressing boss!

 The women's clothing boss also left a deep impression on Cao Na.

 This type of comedy seems like something she has never seen in domestic dramas before.

They are all comedies, and they are very different from "Wulin Gaiden".

"The scale of some places in this drama is a bit big, but after all, it is just an online drama, so it doesn't matter, and it can also be seen that it has a satirical significance to some phenomena in society in the entertainment industry." Cao Na said in her heart

　　 Xu Ye revised some of the excessive lines in this drama.

 After all, the two worlds are not exactly the same. The works cannot be copied directly, and attention must be paid to the details.

 Finally, Cao Na gave the opinion that the review passed.

If she has any other objections, it is that she hopes the show can be longer.

 The drama "Unexpectedly" is really too short, some episodes are only five or six minutes long.

 How can you satisfy the audience in this small amount of time?

 It was over before I even felt happy.

When the news came that "Never Expected" had passed the review, Xu Ye also started arranging follow-up publicity work.
