Zhou Yan did not tell Li Xiuhai that Jinhong Electronics was their family's property, but that didn't matter, as long as Li Xiuhai knew that Jinhong Electronics was related to him, and the lease relationship between them would not affect Jinhong Electronics' acquisition of them.
Basically, no other company can offer the conditions offered by Jinhong Electronics. Because Jinhong Electronics is in a period of rapid development, it can only absorb so many workers.
Originally, Li Xiuhai was worried that Zhou Yan's studio would affect the acquisition. Now that the biggest problem has been solved, there are no other problems.
Now he can basically wait for the acquisition later with peace of mind.
Halfway through the meal, Li Xiuhai couldn't help but ask, "After Jinhong Electronics acquires our factory, will the three buildings still be rented to you?"
Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Jinhong Electronics won't want your place."
"You won't want our place...you mean-"
Li Xiuhai thought of something Such a possibility, his eyes widened.
Is it possible that this acquisition was mainly to make room for Zhou Yan’s studio?
Li Xiuhai was secretly stunned. What kind of background does Zhou Yan have that he can get along so well in Yanjing?
Looking at the wide-eyed Li Xiuhai, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "Maybe if you come back to see it after a while, the factory will look very different."
"The next time I come here, I'm afraid it will be a long time. If this If this acquisition goes well, then the personnel migration will be completed and I will go to Huai Mine to take a job."
"So soon?" Zhou Yan said unexpectedly.
"Yes." Li Xiuhai nodded, "Originally, this matter was quite urgent. If the situation at the factory hadn't been so bad, I would have left long ago. But now, the factory has been acquired, and I It’s a lot of honor to leave.”
For Li Xiuhai, the acquisition of the factory may be considered a political achievement.
After all, compared to other factories, their electronics factory can be said to have been perfectly implemented. Now the factory will lose money every day it stays.
After dinner, Li Xiuhai left. It could be seen that he was in a good mood.
......
The electronics factory was eager to take action, but Jinhong Electronics was not sloppy at all.
It took less than two weeks for the acquisition to be finalized.
On the morning of November 22nd, as soon as Zhou Yan arrived at the studio door, he saw Jiang Mengfei and Liu Qing standing next to Building 3, looking towards the south gate.
"Brother Qing, Mengfei, what are you looking at?" Zhou Yan asked.
Jiang Mengfei pursed his lips in the direction of the south gate, "I don't know what happened, but early this morning, the equipment in the factory was shipped out one by one."
"The factory It has been acquired, and the equipment and workers have to be moved."
"Acquired? There is no news about such a big news," Jiang Mengfei said strangely.
"You don't deal with that place every day, how come you heard about it."
"What about this factory? Is anyone else moving in?" Liu Qing asked.
Zhou Yan shook his head, "No, we will be the only ones in this factory from now on."
"Only us? So these lands are just wasting here? I thought there was any plan. "
"Of course there is a plan." Zhou Yan pointed to the open space in front of him, "I am going to tidy up that place and build a basketball court. The previous basketball court is too dilapidated and the location is not good. Great.”
"It would be nice to build a basketball court, but there won't be any problems, right?"
Zhou Yan pointed to the building to the southwest again, "This building needs to be demolished first, and I'm going to build a living building." In that place, the canteen, convenience store and temporary dormitories are all located in that building."
As Zhou Yan's words became more and more outrageous, Jiang Mengfei curled his lips and said, "Old Zhou, look at what you said. It’s like you bought an electronics factory.”
Zhou Yan didn’t answer, just looked at him with a smile.
Liu Qingxian reacted, "Isn't it true that we acquired an electronics factory?"
"Yes, and no."
Jiang Mengfei said anxiously, "Is it true or not? Don't make charades."
"The electronics factory was acquired by my second brother, but they only need people and equipment. , this place is left to us."
Jiang Mengfei couldn't help but give a thumbs up, "Our second brother, awesome!"
Liu Qing licked his lips and said, " Can we use up such a big place?”
"Don't worry, Brother Qing, it must be used up. Maybe it won't be enough in the future."
Not enough...
The area of the electronics factory is actually not large. After all, it relies on three ring.
But there are more than three hundred acres, which is too large for their studio.
Their two studios combined now have only a few dozen employees, excluding the band, and the two existing buildings are not fully utilized yet.
The Yanjing Studio not far from them only has less than 400 acres of land.
As for Yanjing Studio, most of the area is used in the film and television base at the back. The office building and editing building in the front occupy very little space.
It is impossible for their studio to be like Yanjing Studio and have a film and television base.
In Liu Qing's opinion, there is no need at all. It is really not cost-effective to build a film and television base by yourself.
Seeing Liu Qing's expression of disbelief, Zhou Yan smiled and said, "This will all happen later. It's still early. Now let's set up the TV drama department first."
Jiang Mengfei rubbed his hands and said, "In the future, our TV drama department won't be able to occupy a building by itself, right?"
"If it develops well, a building will definitely be indispensable."
In Zhou Yan In the plan, the TV drama department, film department, and music department should be divided into different buildings in the future. In addition, Zhou Yan is also planning to build a new media department in a few years.
The entire park will be built into a media convergence center.
“A building makes me excited just thinking about it.”
Zhou Yan smiled and patted Jiang Mengfei on the shoulder, "Okay, let's go back to work."
The post-production work of "Time Traveler" has come to an end and should be completed in the next two days.
"Oh, by the way, Director Han came just now. He is probably already in the screening room now." Jiang Mengfei then remembered telling Zhou Yan that Han Sanping was here.
“He came so early.” Zhou Yan was a little surprised.
In the past few days, Han Sanping began to ask Zhou Yan about the progress. When he called yesterday, he also said that he would come over today to take a look. However, Zhou Yan did not expect that Han Sanping would come so early and precede him. step.
"It can be seen that Director Han is very anxious."
Zhou Yan nodded, "Well, let's go up."
......
When we arrived at the screening room, Han Sanping Already watching the movie.
Not long after he arrived, the film started playing.
Seeing Zhou Yan coming, Han Sanping smiled and said, "You're here just in time, come and watch the movie with me."
In fact, Han Sanping had already watched the movie before, but at that time, the sound track had not been put in, so it was like Silent movies look and feel completely different.
Zhou Yan nodded, moved a chair, walked to Han Sanping and sat down.
"How is the review going?" Zhou Yan asked.
"No problem, there is still one last step. The movie is scheduled to be released on December 20th. What do you think?" "I can do it. It's up to you."
Han Sanping turned to look at Zhou Yan, "You can't say that everyone listens to us, your opinion is very important."
"I haven't done much research on the main issue of setting the schedule."< br>
"I'm worried that you have other things to do and you can't leave. Didn't I hear you say last time that you would attend the Zuo Representative Meeting in mid-December?"
"Well, the Zuo Representative Meeting It’s December 16th.”
"Isn't the representative meeting more than one day?"
"It lasts for five days in total, which happens to end on the 20th."
"Will that have any impact?"
Zhou Yan shook his head, "No, I just showed up two days ago to participate in the conference. The subsequent election and replacement has nothing to do with me, and I don't need to be there."
For the congress Generally speaking, Zhou Yan and the others are marginal figures, at most they are mascots, and the serious matter of changing the leadership has nothing to do with them.
"In this case, let's set the date for December 20. I had a phone call with Mr. Xu last night, and we can start promoting it later. Mr. Xu means to hold a premiere ceremony on that day."
"No problem from my side, but you have to ask other people's schedules."
For the premiere ceremony, all the main creative staff must be invited to the scene, so it is better to avoid scheduling with other people. conflict.
Han Sanping smiled and said, "I definitely have to ask, but their situation does not affect the result. Even if no one else has time to come, as long as you are here, it will be fine. After all, as long as you are there, you are the director and screenwriter. , the leading actor, and the soundtrack director are all here. Isn’t this lineup enough?”
Zhou was actually right, as long as he was there if no one else came to the premiere.
And not surprisingly, the heroine Joey Wang will definitely have time.
The male and female protagonists and the director are both here, so there won’t be any problems.
Although chatting with Zhou Yan, it did not delay Han Sanping from watching the movie. The movie had already played for two and a half minutes, and the first piece of music in the movie appeared, which was the background music at the dance.
Han Sanping asked, "Is this your original creation?"
Zhou Yan nodded, "All the music that appears in this movie is my original creation."
Zhou Yan also thought about sampling some other classic tracks before, but after thinking about it later he decided to do it all himself.
“Well, it’s a pretty cheerful song.”
Because it is a background song for a dance party, the music style is lively and dynamic.
This style did not appeal much to Han Sanping, nor did it make him feel amazing.
However, he was curious about the effect of this recording, because it sounded like it was recorded live, but as far as he knew, the song had not yet been recorded when filming, so naturally it It couldn't have been recorded live.
"How is the sound received here?" Han Sanping asked.
“The song was recorded in post-production, and the other sounds were recorded live.”
“Why do they look like they were recorded together? Did you use any special technical means?”
"It's just mixed with two audio tracks, nothing special."
"Really?" Han Sanping was a little surprised, "We used two audio tracks before, but we couldn't achieve such an effect."
If two audio tracks are used in parallel for live sound recording and post-recording, it may give people a sense of separation. This is the case with many domestic movies. The sound sounds strange and even out of sync.
So many directors, if they do not receive satisfactory audio at the scene, they may record separately and try to use only one audio track to avoid defects.
Of course, the sound recorded in post-production, no matter how good it is, will still feel a bit fragmented, but it is much better than mixing two audio tracks together.
Zhou Yan explained with a smile, "Our equipment is good, and we really put a lot of effort into this part, so the mix feels okay. Of course, the money is not wasted."
< br>"No wonder it cost money later." Han Sanping said with emotion.
Compared to Zhou Yan's films, the money spent on post-production for other films produced by their studio is really pitiful.
There's nothing we can do about it. Their equipment is old and no matter how good their technology is, they can't do anything good.
The money spent on Zhou Yan's movie is really not wasted. The picture and sound are completely on a different level from ordinary domestic movies.
After watching the dance scene, Han Sanping couldn't help but sigh. Zhou Yan really studied the sound effects.
If this dance scene had been filmed by a domestic film, the background sounds would probably have been similar, but Zhou Yan's shot was very layered.
Under different scenes, the sound will change differently, and this change is very smooth.
The audience will follow the sound and unconsciously focus on where the director wants them to.
Actually, this is not an equipment problem. On the one hand, it is the directors’ different levels of sound research, and on the other hand, the difficulty of shooting is different.
If you want to achieve a layered sound, you may have to conduct multiple tests. One shot requires a lot of effort, which many directors cannot do.
Han Sanping also noticed that three songs appeared in this dance.
"Did you write three songs for this short section?"
Zhou Yan smiled, "Actually, it's not three. Basically, it's just as many as you heard."
" Each song is just a fragment?”
“These three songs combined took less than two minutes to record.”
“Isn’t this very troublesome?”
< br>
"It's not a problem for me. It's mainly because the singers are in trouble. I found three singers to sing these three songs, and I asked them to come to Yanjing to record them."
"In other words, They came all the way, and each person could only record for more than half a minute on average."
"That's not true, some singers have songs behind them,"
Han Sanping sighed, "That's right. It’s you. Anyone else would not be able to find so many singers.”
The key is that these are all European and American singers. Except for Zhou Yan, no one else in China has such appeal.
"It's not like I don't give them money. If you have money, life will be easy." Zhou Yan said with a smile.
Han Sanping rolled his eyes, thinking that Zhou Yan really deserved a beating for what he said.
Coming to China is not easy, and Zhou Yan actually said it was easy.
And as far as Han Sanping knew, Zhou Yan didn't give these singers much money.
After all, the budget of the movie is here, and the amount spent on music production is only more than two million yuan.
The total cost of "Time Traveler" is 29 million yuan, and the music production fee is 9%.
This ratio is already outrageous. Looking at movies across the country, this is the only one where scorpions poop.
But more than two million yuan is really not enough for the singers invited.
Not to mention anything else, these people have to spend a lot of money just for round-trip air tickets and food and accommodation after landing.
Other than this money, Zhou Yan didn’t have much money to pay those singers.
It can be said that those singers came here solely for Zhou Yan.
For many singers, they are very happy to be able to sing Zhou Yan's songs. (End of this chapter)
