Chapter 378: Video Production Type Dream Space(2/2)
You might as well just make special effects for your own movies from now on, be unique and maintain a sense of mystery.
Moreover, the special effects must keep up with the times and not be too advanced. They should be on the same level as Hollywood special effects, and occasionally exceed them a little. Anyway, it is what the current level of technology can do.
Wait, it doesn’t have to be a movie.
Since this thing is a post-production special effects production machine, it is not specifically designed for movies. It can not only produce picture special effects, but also sound special effects.
In other words, if he brings in a blank audio tape or record, he can still record the music he wants here.
By then, there will be no need for a recording studio or recording of records. How much trouble and cost can be saved?
At this time, movie video tapes have to be handed over to China Film Company for domestic distribution, so forget it.
However, the distribution of audio tapes is not controlled and does not have to be a monopoly of one company.
No, forget it.
It doesn't take much effort to record records, and the cost savings are very limited. There is no need to do this, otherwise it will be difficult to explain when people ask.
At most, I can get some vinyl records, CD records, etc., and some collector's editions here.
For ordinary recording, just do it seriously. Recording doesn't take much effort anyway.
Huh?
In this way, even in China, the movie that pays tribute to "The Garden of Words" can still be made.
Even now, the movies produced by the studio must be handed over to China Film Company for distribution.
But Cao Zhiqiang remembers that at this time, there was no such thing as film copyright in China. China Film Company only purchased and distributed the film, not bought out the film copyright.
Only those who pay attention to copyright, mainly co-productions, will sign a copyright ownership contract. But in China, this contract is of little use, because no matter who your copyright belongs to, it can only be distributed to China Film Company.
However, things were different after 1993.
Cao Zhiqiang remembers that after the film was remade, those old films that did not clearly state the copyright ownership automatically belonged to the film studio before the fifty-year copyright protection period expired.
For example, the later Shanghai Art Film Factory was once almost out of food, but later it was able to survive just by collecting copyrights.
In the same way, if your movie does well, even if you can't get a big share of it now, you can get the copyright in the future.
As long as it's a classic movie, you don't have to worry about not getting the copyright fees.
With these photography equipment and audio-visual production dream space, the cost of making your own movies can be extremely low, the shooting speed can be extremely fast, and the effect can be extremely high. It is simply a god of cost performance.
You know, almost 60% of the budget for Hollywood blockbusters is special effects.
And Cao Zhiqiang has this audio-visual space, which means he saves this part of the money, and the effect is even better.
In fact, you can make pure cartoons here just like playing games, and it will be even less easy for you to reveal your secrets.
However, in this case, it is no longer enough to just do it domestically. We need to diversify our investments and build companies.
Only by setting up special effects divisions in multiple places around the world and establishing a confidentiality agreement can the special effects issues not be easily revealed.
So in the early stage, you still have to suppress your inner excitement and keep a low profile and then a low profile.
"Forget it." Cao Zhiqiang smiled slightly when he thought of this.
"Anyway, we have already invested 100,000 yuan in Beijing Film Studio, so let's just keep making the movie, just treat it as an experiment."
"But since I pay for the money, the equipment, the people, and the special effects, I'm not polite."
"So I want to write, direct, and act in this tentative drama. I want it all!"
"As for Director Xu, okay, let him be the assistant director and check for omissions for me."
"Presumably he is also happy!"
