Chapter 476 What Is Luxury!

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

On Earth, the filming time of this drama was 2008, and at that time, the investment in this drama had reached 20 million.

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

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

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

In today's world, investing 50 million is just the most basic.

As for the lack of money later, Xu Ye will continue to invest money to make this drama a success.

Compared with the many problems encountered in the filming of "Armor Hero" 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.

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

Xu Ye will not be stingy with his investment in special effects.

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

If he can get the script of the Emperor Hero movie later, he can definitely make a big movie.

Is it a problem that the cost is high and it doesn't make money?

For no other reason, Xu Ye just wants to experience the feeling of the Emperor Armor fusion, and it is worth spending any money.

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

Because the most profitable part of special effects dramas has never been the TV series itself, but the peripheral toys.

Adults may not think that the sales of "Armor Hero" peripheral toys alone have reached several hundred million, and this is only the sales within three years after the release of "Armor Hero", and only the genuine ones are counted, not the pirated ones.

In this world, the management of copyright is also stricter.

When the drama becomes popular, it will be enough to earn back the production cost by selling toys alone, and it is a business that will make a profit without loss.

The premise is that the drama must be popular in the circle of children.

Xu Ye has no worries about this.

But it sounds different to Wang Zhibo.

50 million to shoot a special drama, what if it loses money?

Will you have to sell the company in the end?

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

He wanted to remind Xu Ye.

You can't spend money like this.

Xu Ye asked back: "Don't you want to use the best technology to shoot these armors?"

Wang Zhibo was silent after hearing this.

As a fan of special dramas, how could he not want to.

Xu Ye continued: "Money is not a problem. It is more important to shoot the drama well. I will send you the design drawings later. You can start preparing with people."

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

Wang Zhibo is not a person who procrastinates. Since Xu Ye said that money is not a problem, he will definitely spend money ruthlessly.

He wants to make all these special effects props, and they must be made very fine, even under the ultra-clear lens.

At this time, Wang Zhibo suddenly thought of something and smiled, "Mr. Xu, when are you leaving?"

"Let's go later." Xu Ye said.

"Then I'll go out and make some arrangements first." Wang Zhibo said.

Xu Ye immediately had a bad feeling in his heart.

Wang Zhibo hurriedly left the meeting room.

What kind of person is Xu Ye? As soon as he saw Wang Zhibo's expression, he knew that this person must have something bad in his heart.

After all, he has done this to others!

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

This is the cheers of a group of people.

There was no movement after the cheers.

Not long after, Wang Zhibo came back.

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

However, these will have to wait until "Armor Hero" is filmed before they can be produced.

The production time of this drama will definitely take much longer than the TV series he filmed.

It will take about two or three months for Wang Zhibo to make all the props for the crew, and the crew will not start filming until next year.

After the chat, Xu Ye was ready to leave.

When Wang Zhibo took him to the workstation outside, Xu Ye keenly noticed something was wrong.

All the employees looked at him with strange eyes.

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 girl in the administration put a Bluetooth speaker on the table, and then the song sounded.

"Give you a little heart, give you a flower~"

Along with the song, Wang Zhibo took the lead in dancing, and the other employees followed Wang Zhibo's movements.

But compared with Wang Zhibo's skilled movements, the movements of others were very unfamiliar, and they could only be said to be following.

Wang Zhibo danced this dance with his daughter every day, and he had learned it a long time ago.

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

He was an investment consultant who was introduced to Xu Ye by Wang Xu and specialized in handling acquisition business.

This acquisition order was worth 60 million yuan, which was a relatively large transaction amount even among the businesses he handled, and it was rare.

But the scene in front of him was even rarer.

What kind of people were they?

Watching this group of people dancing to the song, the investment consultant's toes had already clasped the soles of his leather shoes tightly.

In short, it was very uncomfortable.

Other acquisition projects had a grand scene.

Here they were dancing to "Listen to Me Say Thank You".

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

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

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

Because now he was the only one in the entire office who didn't dance.

"Listen to me say thank you, because of you~"

"Warm the four seasons~"

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

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

Xu Ye's face was normal. Wang Zhibo's dancing in front of him with a group of people was simply a show of skill.

It was impossible to embarrass me!

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

The people on Wang Zhibo's side were obviously also excited.

In this situation, whoever stopped would be embarrassed, and the result was that no one dared to stop.

The investment consultant on the side couldn't hold it anymore. If the floor under his feet was not too hard, he felt that he would have deducted a three-bedroom apartment.

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

After saying that, he also jumped up with Xu Ye's movements.

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

Even though he is now dressed in a suit and tie, with the image of an urban white-collar worker.

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

After the dance, Xu Ye applauded and said, "Everyone danced very well, keep up the good work."

After that, Xu Ye went out as if nothing had happened.

The investment consultant next to him didn't come back to his senses for a while, and was still pulled 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 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 "Listen to Me Say Thank You" a few days ago, so they simply danced this dance to express their gratitude.

There are quite a lot of people who have covered this dance online recently.

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

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

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

Everyone immediately said: "Definitely not spread!"

Just kidding, who dares to spread this dark history, do you still have face?

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

Xu Ye said: "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 told you to name it like this?

In the end, the investment consultant still suppressed his idea of ​​making suggestions and went to handle the company's procedures according to this.

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

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

At the beginning, many reporters in the entertainment industry were still confused after receiving this message from others.

Xu Ye acquired a special effects company?

This matter sounds a bit incredible.

Why did he have nothing to do to acquire a special effects company?

These entertainment reporters also hurriedly inquired through their own connections, and in the end, everyone confirmed the authenticity of the matter.

It's not fake news, it's true!

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

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

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

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

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

Until this moment, the entertainment reporters finally put their minds at ease.

The industrial and commercial information has been changed, it can't still be a lie, right?

So, this group of entertainment reporters immediately sent out the news.

Since Xu Ye's new album was released, there has been no big news in the entertainment industry recently, and now finally found big news.

Sure enough, after this news was sent out, it directly entered the top ten hot searches.

Xu Ye is so popular now that he can be said to be a national star.

Many people clicked on the topic of Xu Ye acquiring a special effects company when they were looking at the hot search list.

Anyway, they were just curious.

The patients in Huohua Hospital were just looking for fun.

After a group of patients clicked in and saw the content in the news, they immediately started to be silly.

"That's a big company, you really know how to name it!"

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

"Don't you only eat potato chips during festivals? You are really rich!"

"Did you get that money easily?!"

"You ate potato chips and instant noodles, and you actually saved so much money!"

When other stars make money, the audience scolds them.

When Xu Ye makes money, a group of silly netizens are joking that it is also Xu Ye's due to make so much money.

With so many works he has created, it would be strange if he didn't make so much money.

These days, some traffic stars have nothing to offer, but can still get sky-high pay, and buy a mansion worth tens of millions of yuan at any time.

Xu Ye's spending power is far worse than these stars.

The patients of Huohua Hospital also dug up the previous remarks of Lin Shuo's fans.

At that time, Lin Shuo's fans said that Xu Ye was a Phoenix man, and that he was with Xiao Xu for money.

Now, Xu Ye showed up and slapped them in the face.

A man who can take out 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.

Then the Phoenix is ​​not under a phoenix tree, but a cash cow.

Lin Shuo's fans temporarily shut up.

The gap is too obvious.

Lin Shuo himself has invested in business, but they are all investments in hot pot restaurants, milk tea shops, snack bars, etc., taking the route of harvesting fans.

The final fate of such stores is basically bankruptcy, 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 operation of the company.

Besides, some celebrities can't do business.

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

"Xu Ye acquired the special effects company because he has money, which is nothing to praise, isn't it? It's not for making money, and he can just take orders by relying on his connections in the circle."

That's right, there is really nothing to praise when celebrities acquire companies. This is a normal business behavior.

Xu Ye had no intention of promoting this.

He only spent 60 million to buy a company.

But since this matter has been exposed by marketing accounts and the popularity is so high, it is time to take advantage of his popularity.

That afternoon, This is a big studio and Dream Building Studio posted a Weibo together.

"This is a big studio will enter the domestic special effects drama industry with Dream Building Studio and That is a big special effects studio. The new drama is in preparation and is expected to be launched next year!"

After that, That is a big company also registered a Weibo, forwarded this Weibo and said: "That is a big studio will be responsible for all the special effects technology of this drama."

That is the name of the big company to the outside world, that is, That is a big special effects studio.

When this news was released, everyone was really confused.

Many people asked: "What is a special effects drama?"

Special effects dramas are actually equivalent to a niche theme whether abroad or at home, so it is not surprising to have such doubts.

Netizens also popularized science for those who did not understand it, and everyone suddenly understood it.

"So Xu Ye bought a special effects company to make a special effects drama?"

"Isn't the cost too high? It's totally unnecessary."

"What do you mean by luxury? This is luxury! He bought a company for this drama!"

"I always feel that the dean has been cheated. There are no good domestic special effects dramas. This money will definitely go down the drain!"

Special effects drama is an unfamiliar term for too many people.

A lot of negative voices have also emerged on the Internet.

All of this is within Xu Ye's expectations.

The popularity is coming.

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

Xu Ye didn't care about these things anymore.

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

It is impossible to find a special director for special effects dramas in China. There is no such director at all.

This director used to shoot short films. When Xu Ye was shooting "Wulin Wai Zhuan", this director was helping in the group, and there was no problem with his level.

As for the rest, he had to learn in practice.

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

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

In terms of camera language, it is still somewhat different from TV dramas for adults.

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

The post-production of "Never Expected" has been completed.

On Earth, when "Never Expected" was broadcast, the supervision of online dramas was not so strict. "Never Expected" took the way of self-examination and self-broadcasting by video platforms.

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

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

"Then let's submit it for review."

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

The size of this file is wrong.

For ordinary TV dramas, even if an 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 like the size of a movie of dozens of minutes.

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

But among these files, some were large and some were small, and it didn't look like they had been sent the wrong files.

After all, you can't just send the wrong file 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 like a TV series?"

The people in the audit department are also human beings, and they also pay attention to the trends in the entertainment industry, and they also check Weibo to see the hot searches. Cao Na has seen the promotional content of the drama "Unexpectedly" before.

She remembered it was a comedy, and she thought it was a comedy like "Wulin Gaiden", but it seemed 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.

Then there is the title of the first episode, and there is a large paragraph of text under the title.

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, had a paralyzed expression on his face and his eyes were looking ahead blankly.

The dubbing also sounded.

"My name is Wang Dachui, and 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 show is very weird.

"Xu Ye's face is so funny! This paralyzed expression was forced on him. It was not easy."

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

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

In the end, 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. Woah woah woah?

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

I have to work hard on my acting today because it’s fifty bucks 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 hell is this!"

Then, Cao Na continued to look down.

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

The whole drama didn't take long, and by the time 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 show was called Wan Wan Unexpected.

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

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

She never stopped laughing while watching this show.

Sometimes I find her embarrassed and funny.

The most important thing is that she really didn't expect that Xu Nanjia was the heroine as promised?

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

The cross-dressing boss also left a deep impression on Cao Na.

It seems that she has never seen this type of comedy in domestic dramas before.

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

"Some places in this drama are a bit big, but after all, it's 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.

In the end, Cao Na gave the opinion that the review passed.

If she had any other objections, it was that she wished the show could be longer.

The drama "Never Expected" is really too short, with some episodes only being five or six minutes long.

How can you satisfy the audience in this little time?

It's over before I feel happy.

When the news came that "Unexpectedly" had passed the review, Xu Ye also started arranging follow-up publicity work.
