Chapter 116 "Terminator" Casting
The transaction with Wang Cong was completed very quickly.

Chen Fan bought 800% of the shares of Digital Password Special Effects for 80 million, and changed its name to Shengtang Special Effects at the same time.

Wang Cong was obviously not affected by the news about other special effects companies in the film and television industry, or he was really optimistic about Chen Fan for some unknown reason.

In fact, Chen Fan once offered to spend 1000 million more to buy the remaining 20% ​​of the shares, but Wang Cong refused.

Later, Chen Fan did not force himself on this point.

He also thought about it clearly. Although Wang Cong has encountered some difficulties now, he still has a solid foundation of connections, especially in the entertainment industry. Chen Fan may use him somewhere in the future.

After the company was handed over, Chen Fan immediately met with the person in charge of the special effects company, and renewed the work contract with each special effects talent.

The former person in charge of digital password special effects was named Zeng Zhihe, who was also from the IT industry. He was in charge of technology before and had more than ten years of experience in the industry.

As for the boss of the previous digital password business, Wang Cong himself was in charge.

It's just that Wang Cong is a bit overwhelmed now, and he doesn't want to manage the company anymore, so he entrusts Chen Fan with full authority to manage the Tang Dynasty special effects.

Chen Fan naturally couldn't wish for this, so he continued to appoint Zeng Zhihe as the head of Shengtang Special Effects Technology Department, and at the same time divided the special effects into Shengtang Entertainment, which was managed by Shengtang Entertainment.

As for the person in charge of the special effects of the Tang Dynasty, Chen Fan still needs to find out slowly, so naturally he and Lin Zixuan will take up the post for the time being.

At present, the special effects department is still in Wang Cong's industrial park for the time being, and will move there after the Tang Dynasty headquarters in Linyin Villa is completed.

After the special effects company was settled, Chen Fan immediately chatted with Zeng Zhihe and other special effects talents about the movie "Terminator".

Two days later, Zeng Zhihe issued a report to Chen Fan.

"Thirteen million? Is Mr. Zeng right? Thirteen million can handle all the special effects of "Terminator"?"

Lin Zixuan held the report at this time and was amazed. The special effects companies they had looked for in the industry before did not offer less than 3000 million yuan.

Chen Fan nodded. He remembered the communication with Zeng Zhihe, and at the same time confirmed the specific special effects of the movie.

"Actually, the special effects of "Terminator" are just a few giant robots that appear in the future world, and the final naked body of the real-world robot T800 Terminator model."

"So it's actually not that expensive."

Although the core of "Terminator" is his plot, Chen Fan doesn't intend to be sloppy with the special effects. In fact, the 300 million is still the cost of the special effects.

According to what Zeng Zhihe said, if it was just for general movie special effects, those few giant robots would not even cost a few million.

"Good, good, good! This special effects company is really worth buying!"

Lin Zixuan quickly made an account in his mind. He bought the digital code and produced the special effects of "The Terminator". The total cost was only 100 million. However, it would have cost more than 3000 million to directly find a special effects company to produce the special effects. The effect is definitely not as good as that produced by our own company.

"Mr. Chen, in this way, I feel that "Terminator" can be filmed first!"

Chen Fan nodded when he heard the words. That's true. After the Terminator's crucial special effects problem is solved, the problem of casting is actually not complicated.

There are only three main actors in this movie. Except for the villain Terminator robot played by himself, there are only the parents of the savior.

In other words, as long as a man and a woman are found to be the leading actors, the film can basically start shooting. As for the other supporting roles, there are not many roles, so there are a lot of such actors.

"Xiaomeng, hurry up and inform, the film and television department will hold a meeting in the afternoon!"

……

After not seeing each other for a few days, Chen Fan found that Yan Hong seemed to be a different person. The sloppy image before had disappeared. Now she was wearing a formal suit, had her hairstyle done, and removed the thick framed eyes. stunning.

"Director Yan, how's the cast of "Terminator" going?"

Yan Hong's expression turned serious. As the first time to independently direct a sci-fi blockbuster, she can be said to have devoted all her heart and soul to this movie these days.

"Mr. Chen, in the current market, the appeal of well-known actors is unparalleled. As a science fiction blockbuster, if there are no movie stars, it will inevitably make people think that our movie is produced by a small workshop."

"Mr. Chen, your comeback can only be used as a surprise. The structure of the story can be a killer feature, and a famous movie star is an attractive gimmick. After all, fans must come in, so that our movie can be promoted better!"

Chen Fan nodded. He told Yan Hong earlier that the production cost of "Terminator" was 6000 million, but now the special effects have saved 2000 million, but Chen Fan did not reduce the production cost.

The first three films, as the pioneering work of Shengtang Entertainment, must not be missed, and must be an instant hit.

"So, as Shengtang Entertainment's first sci-fi blockbuster, I decided to invite well-known actors to play the parents of the savior."

"Currently the male lead has been confirmed, Liu Lanyun will play the role, and the initial salary is set at 600 million."

Liu Lanyun?
Information about this actor flashed through Chen Fan's mind. Liu Lanyun, currently 36 years old, has been in the industry for 13 years and won the Golden Face Award for Best Actor in 03.

There have been many works in recent years, but the pay is not high, which is a good and cheap choice.

"Okay, sign the contract early!"

Yan Hong nodded excitedly when she heard the words, and Chen Fan agreed without saying a word. This trust moved her quite a bit.

"As for the heroine, there are two people currently in contact, one is Jiang Douer and the other is Zhou Xiaoyu. The remuneration offered to Jiang Douer is 1000 million and Zhou Xiaoyu's remuneration is 600 million. considering."

Jiang Douer, Zhou Xiaoyu...

Chen Fan also has an impression of these two people. Jiang Douer is 33 years old this year, the winner of the Golden Mask Award for Best Actress in 06, and one of the hottest actresses in China.

And Zhou Xiaoyu is only 24 years old, and she is the hottest actress of the new generation in China, and she was even nominated for Best Actress for a time.

"Okay, these two, you continue to follow up. Once confirmed, sign the contract immediately. You can also worry about the other actors. After the personnel are in place, immediately prepare to start filming!"

After Chen Fan arranged the actors, he looked at Li Ye and Huang Weiqiu, thought for a while and said:
"The "Terminator" will be handed over to Li Ye and your crew. In the past two days, you have assembled the crew members and are ready to start shooting at any time!"

"Good boss!"

Li Ye was overjoyed when he heard the words, and unconsciously glanced at Huang Weiqiu who was at the side. It seems that the boss still treats the elderly preferentially.

Huang Weiqiu looked indifferent. He also knew that the first movie of Shengtang Entertainment would hardly fall on him. After all, he was currently considered the second crew member of Shengtang Entertainment.

But Chen Fan did not forget Huang Weiqiu.

"Huang Gong, your crew must be on standby at all times, and the casting of "Miracle Boy" is coming to an end, you must always be ready to catch up!"

"Okay, boss."

"That's it, everyone take their places, the meeting ends!"

Chen Fan became more and more familiar with the identity of the boss of Shengtang Entertainment.

……

After the meeting, the sugar baby, who had been silent all this time, sneaked into the lounge, turned on his cell phone and dialed a number.

"Hey, Yueyue, what have you been doing lately? Have you accepted the show yet?"

In the office building of Modu Films, Nangong Shiyue was having a meeting with her manager and some senior executives in a small conference room.

The agent is reporting things at this time.

"Now, there are two crews that invite Yueyue. Director Luka intends to invite Yueyue to participate in "Fengshen Bang 2", and director Fang Buping intends to invite Yueyue to participate in "Cantonese Fortress."

"It's just that everyone knows that the story of the Conferred Gods List has actually been told in the first part. Nano Films produced the second part, obviously to catch up with the popularity of the first part."

"We analyzed the script. "Feng Shen Bang 2" tells the story of the gods after the Zhou Dynasty destroyed the Yin and Shang Dynasties. As the heroine of the first film, Yueyue's role in Daji is only a few minutes."

"If you consider Director Luka's reputation, Yueyue can participate in the show, but she may waste a long time with the crew."

"And "Cantonese Fortress" is produced by Cantonese Film Industry, and it is said that it has invested more than [-] million yuan. Although there is a lot of water in it, it should not be underestimated."

"And Yuefeng Group reported on the Internet that popular movie stars will be invited to participate in this sci-fi blockbuster, and even released rumors that Yueyue has agreed to participate in this movie."

"They did invite Yueyue, but they are only willing to pay 1000 million for the film, and Yueyue's current worth is definitely far more than this price!"

"So we are still negotiating."
