Zhang Ailun refused to give in at all in the quotation, which made Guo Bufan and others helpless. The strength of New Zealand Vita Digital is beyond doubt in the film industry.

If they didn't look for Vita Digital, they wouldn't have thought of any company that could meet their requirements. However, in terms of movie budget, it would definitely be overspending.

Guo Bufan had no choice but to say: "Mr. Zhang, I also believe in the strength of Vita Digital. We need to discuss some details again. Why don't you take a break first and we will discuss it later?"

"No problem." Zhang Ailun was not in a hurry. Guo Bufan had no other choice now. What they were worried about now was the price issue, and the only one who compromised was Guo Bufan and the others.

Zhang Ailun went to rest, while Guo Bufan and others frowned and were full of worries.

"Director Guo, I think it's better not to look for Vita Digital." Feng Ming said, "We can't afford their offer. The budget is only so much, and the cost of props is large, so the special effects production is not enough. Props are only part of the special effects! It's also good to use domestic merchants."

"Props can't be discounted anymore!" Visual Effects Director Miao Yu emphasized, "If you use inferior props, the visual effect will be too bad! What's the difference between it and other domestic science fiction movies?"

"But we don't have that much budget!" Feng Ming looked at Miao Yu and said, "Director Miao, are you willing to invest in increasing your budget for us?"

"How can I have that much money?" Miao Yu gave him a blank look.

"That's right!" Feng Ming said, "The fact is that we can only compromise a little in this regard. The domestic ones are not bad. The new art prop production company has only one-third of the offer of Vita Digital! And its strength is OK. I suggest working with them."

"Is that true? Have you seen their model concept map?" Guo Bufan asked.

"Well, I asked today. They have made several basic concept diagrams and can be used to display them at any time." Feng Ming replied.

"Okay!" Guo Bufan said, "Go and see the works of Xinyi first, and then make a decision."

The next day, in the conference room of the visual effects team, Guo Bufan and others were preparing to watch the concept map of the model released by Xinyi Company.

At this time, Zhang Ailun from Vita Digital also arrived, "Director Guo, I heard that you are visiting your colleagues' works. I don't know if Fang is not convenient for me to take a look. I am also very interested in the design of my colleagues in China."

"Of course." Guo Bufan thought that Xinyi's offer was much lower than Vita Digital, and it might be used as a bargaining chip to reduce the price with Vita Digital.

In front of the projection screen, Huang Shen, the new design director of Xinyi, introduced the model concept diagram they made in a hurry.

"You see, this mechanical exoskeleton looks like a large human-shaped armor..."

"Wait, I'll interrupt." Zhang Ailun showed a questioning expression, "I have a problem."

"Please say it." Huang Shen said.

Zhang Allen stood up and pointed to his model picture and said, "This looks a bit like the mechanical exoskeleton armor in "Pacific Rim"?"

Huang Shen's expression was a little awkward when he said that. Indeed, he "drawed from" other people's things and designers' affairs. Can it be called copying? And the boss asked to make it out in a short time, so how could it be too late?

"This may be a bit similar." Huang Shen's palm was a little sweaty and continued to introduce it.

He introduced some other concept pictures. This time, let alone Zhang Ailun, the experienced Miao Yu and Guo Bufan can see at a glance that these works have more or less borrowed from the designs in other films.

Zhang Ailun couldn't stand it anymore, and he said directly: "I have seen a lot of shadows of other designs in this concept picture. Director Guo, if you want to adopt such a design, I guess the original designer is likely to sue you for infringement!"

"What I doubt most is." Zhang Ailun stared at Huang Shen, "Can your company make such a mold?"

"This..." Huang Shen didn't know how to answer, and Zhang Dahai, who was sitting beside him, said: "We can design and of course we can make it. This is not a problem you are worried about."

Zhang Ailun smiled, with contempt in his expression, "If it is the usual level of Chinese science fiction films, then I will have no problem."

Although he didn't understand, everyone could understand that he refers to the inferior "50 cents" props that can only be made in new art.

Zhang Dahai was hard-hearted and knew in his heart that his company really didn't have the technology.

"Let me say, design or something can be modified. The key is the price!" Feng Ming emphasized, "The price given by Xinyi is very consistent with our budget!"

Seeing this, Zhang Dahai also followed the flow and said: "We will definitely modify these concept maps appropriately. And the price we give is absolutely conscience!"

Guo Bufan did not make any statement, but was in a dilemma. He could only choose one of them quality and cheapness.

"I would have a good quality and reasonable price. Unfortunately, our country's film industry is not that developed yet." Guo Bufan sighed in his heart.

At this moment, Guo Bufan's assistant informed him: "Director Guo, the person from Z time and space is here, and he wants to show the concept picture."

"Z Time and Space?" Zhang Dahai said with a surprised expression: "This small company with less than ten people is here to join in the fun?"

Feng Ming also said in surprise: "Did this company not withdraw last time? Or did I remember it wrong?"

Zhang Ailun smiled and said, "It seems that the competitiveness of these domestic peers really needs to be improved!"

Hearing their words, Guo Bufan and Miao Yu both lost interest in Z time and space. Out of politeness, Guo Bufan said: "They are here, let's take a look."

Soon, Du Mingxuan and Tan Chenglin arrived. After saying hello to each other, Tan Chenglin began to show the concept pictures Du Mingxuan carefully selected.

"Everyone is optimistic. The first thing we show is the individual mechanical exoskeleton independently designed by our company! In the movie, it will be the main equipment for the starring actors and the appearance rate is very high. So we have made the details very perfect, and the power design is not a problem. Let me say in advance. I personally like this design very much! I believe it will definitely open your eyes!" Tan Chenglin said with a compliment.

Unlike Tan Chenglin imagined, after his passionate speech, none of the people present had anticipation expressions, and even the deputy directors Feng Ming and Zhang Ailun were still looking at their phones!

Zhang Dahai looked disdainful, but he didn't believe it. Just those people in the time and space, what can they do to make at this time! The entire design department of his company worked overtime and added "reference" to make these display pictures. Du Mingxuan probably copied other people's designs!

"But that's good. With them in comparison, it seems that the new art is quite excellent." Zhang Dahai thought to himself.

Guo Bufan crossed his hands and dragged his chin with his expression indifferent. He was not listening to anything Tan Chenglin said, but was thinking about how to bargain with Vita Digital later. As for this small company, they could leave after passing the formalities.

Seeing this, Tan Chenglin opened the file storing the concept map, and through the projector, a beautiful mechanical design concept map appeared on the curtain.

In an instant, the room suddenly became quiet. The pupils of the people who saw the concept picture were rapidly dilated, and even held their breath!

"What's wrong?" Feng Ming, who was playing with his phone, felt something strange and raised his head. He immediately changed his expression from being bored to being surprised, and then turned into shock within a few seconds!
