Chapter 708 Returning to the Boxing Arena
Well, of course Kelly Logan was joking, anyway Lin Xiao thinks so.

He has become a scumbag who has broken through the bottom line, but Lin Xiao never thought about sowing seeds all over the world.

This idea is too crazy.

However, it's no wonder that Kelly Logan thinks so. In this revised script of "Terminator", the hero and heroine are from two countries.

Therefore, it is normal for her to joke about this plot.

Later, Lin Xiao went to meet Rand, the vice president of Dick Group.

The two parties can be regarded as old acquaintances. After all, Rand has always been in charge of the cooperation with Ling Xiaoge.

"Wow, Lin, you are so jealous, hey, Kelly, so you have agreed to star in Lin's new movie?" Rand exaggerated.

"Yes, Lin's movie is very good, I think few people can refuse, right?" Kelly spread her hands and said.

"Kelly, you are exaggerating." Lin Xiao shook his head.

If this is said in China, there is no problem, but this is North America, Lin Xiao still has self-knowledge.

"No, no, no, Lin, it's not an exaggeration at all, "Kung Fu Panda" and "Once Upon a Time" let audiences across the United States once again appreciate the charm of Kung Fu, and there are so many directors in Huaguo, so many Kung Fu movies, only you can do it Arrived, so Kelly's words are not exaggerating at all."

"But Lin, why aren't the special effects done by a Hollywood special effects company?" Rand asked.

"Actually, the special effects technology that needs to be used in this film is not very advanced. Our special effects company in Huaguo is fully capable. The key point is that Hollywood special effects companies are too expensive, and Aurora special effects is my own company, so you understand Yes." Lin Xiao said lightly.

Dick Group also has a special effects company. Although it is not considered top-notch in Hollywood, it is definitely not a small company.

However, it is impossible for Lin Xiao to hand over the special effects to other companies, so that the benefits will not flow to outsiders. After all, the special effects involved in "Terminator" are not so many.

Aurora special effects can be done, he is not burning too much money, why, like some domestic film companies, in order to create a gimmick, let the Hollywood special effects company take advantage of it and slaughter it.

In fact, despite the fact that Hollywood special effects companies seem to be very good, many domestic film and television companies are promoting the special effects produced by a certain Hollywood company, but in fact, those special effects are often outsourced to other small special effects. The company does it.

Really big special effects companies, top special effects companies, they are generally responsible for those new special effects or special effects for real blockbuster movies and big productions.

Although the film special effects industry is said to have high investment and high return, in fact, the real high investment refers to the investment in new technology development and the rapid replacement of computer equipment required.

The cost of some mature special effects images is actually very low, and the income is also very high.

At this point, Lin Xiao didn't know the tricks in it until he created the aurora special effect.

For example, for a special effects company, there are actually several places that spend the most money. One is equipment. Some special effects screens require many high-end computers to render countless times, and the replacement speed of these computer equipment is too fast.

A computer equipment for special effects is conservatively estimated to cost about [-] US dollars. Take the Aurora special effect as an example, there are currently more than [-] such computers.

And such a computer usually needs to be replaced every one to two years, that is to say, in about two years, the cost of equipment alone will cost more than 1000 million US dollars.

Another aspect is labor. In many cases, the production of special effects screens requires a lot of labor. These people may not have outstanding skills, but more people are needed, which is also a very expensive expenditure.

Finally, there is the cost of the software.

What?The software is free. If you think too much, the software developed by film special effects production companies are all charged, and many of them are charged by time, and even some are charged per view.

The key point is that a large production often requires not one or two pieces of software but many pieces of software, and most of these software require an expensive fee.

Huaguo's labor costs are still relatively low, which is still very advantageous.

However, the biggest disadvantage of companies like Aurora Special Effects is that there are very few special effects production software developed by themselves.

The negotiation with the Dick Group went smoothly. Of course, Lin Xiao was only talking about an intention, and the final details of the negotiation will naturally be discussed by a dedicated person.

"By the way, there will be a Harrison game tomorrow night. If Lin is interested, he can take Kelly to watch it." Rand suddenly smiled before leaving.

In fact, Lin Xiao is most famous in North America not as a director, but because of his other two identities. One is a singer, and the other is that Harrison, the boxing champion who swept the boxing world all over the world, was once defeated by him.

Boxing has limited influence in China, but it is a very popular sport in North America, and Lin Xiao is the only player who has defeated Harrison since he became the boxing champion.

Boxing matches are very memorable for both Lin Xiao and Kelly Logan.

The two of them had an affair because Lin Xiao came to North America to fight in the World Boxing Championships.

The shooting of "The Terminator" is still very early, and now it's just started to talk, and the preparations for the crew, scene scouting, etc. have not officially started yet.

And in two months, "Star Academy" will start filming, so basically, "Terminator" will officially start filming in the second half of the year.

The next night, Lin Xiao and Kelly Logan appeared in the stands of the Dow Jones Boxing Center in Los Angeles.

Because there is a boxing champion Harrison's match tonight, it can be said that there are no empty seats.

As for the arrival of Lin Xiao and Kelly Logan, they didn't inform the host, but they were discovered by the careful director.

Before the boxing match, the camera was given to Kelly Logan.

Well, the other party actually discovered Kelly Logan.

However, one of the two commentators soon discovered a breaking news.

"Wow, wow, look who I saw? Look who came to the scene tonight?" the narrator exaggerated.

Naturally, the camera took a close-up of Kelly Logan and Lin Xiao in a dignified manner.

Lin Xiao waved at the camera generously.

Many people at the scene didn't know Lin Xiao, but there must be some people who knew Lin Xiao.

"The only boxing champion from China who has defeated our boxing champion Harrison, Lin! He actually appeared on the scene. I believe that tonight will be a very interesting night!"

"Wow, is it true, the player who defeated Harrison? From Huaguo?" Some uninformed audience asked in surprise.

"That's right, it's true. In the last World Boxing Championship, Hua Guolin won the boxing championship belt with undisputed strength. Harrison also failed to win the championship because of that failure. Slam!"
