Fat Cat Studio and Friendship Brothers Film and Television Group jointly announced that Mr. Xia Haoyang’s latest script "Squid Game" from Fat Cat Studio was sold to Friendship Brothers Film and Television Group for a sky-high price of 2.4 million. From then on, the script of "Squid Game" and its related films The copyrights for adaptations of games, games, variety shows and peripheral products are entirely owned by Friendship Brothers Group.
This announcement shocked the entire entertainment industry and became a hot news on the Internet. Before this, the highest copyright fee for a film and television drama was also Xia Haoyang's "Phantom Driver 2", but it was only priced at million, and it was not a cash purchase, not Xia Haoyang The highest film and television script copyright fee paid by other authors is million Chinese national dollars.
"From 2.4 million to million, Fatty, can you explain to us the reason?" Han Xiyu and other people who have not read the script find it incredible.
"Even after reading the script, I thought it was good, but I didn't expect it to sell for so much money." Lao Xie and Zhao Yishen also felt panicked and even a little scared about the price.
Suddenly the price is so outrageous that you can't understand it, and everyone will feel sad.
"Well, I don't need to explain. This is the interview with Mr. Wang from CCTV Six Princess's "Chinese Film Report" column. You can read it yourself." The head faces everyone.
The group of people who planned to question Xia Haoyang could only watch the "Six Princesses" interview with Mr. Wang of Friendship Brothers Film and Television.
"This is the virtual film studio we jointly created with Forty Thieves Film and Television, "Zhenxiang Digital Studio". When filming here, you can capture different scenery, different seasons, different needs, such as snowy days, sunny days, early mornings and evenings, all in one day. All filming can be completed." Mr. Wang talked about the high-tech virtual film studio he built in front of CCTV6 host Lan Yu.
"We couldn't shoot action scenes in virtual shooting before because the refresh rate was not enough, but we can shoot action scenes here, that is, the person moves in front, and the scene behind is no problem. You can see that the robotic arm has a camera, and the other screen can interact with the device. ." Mr. Wang was very proud of his virtual movie studio and patiently introduced it.
"This is a snowy scene. It's very realistic, and there are snowflakes floating." The host Lan Yu found it very refreshing.
"Yes, the virtual scenery combined with the actor's performance on stage can be taken in one shot, making it impossible to distinguish between real and fake."
"Director Guan is here too? What film are you shooting recently that requires the use of this virtual film studio?" Lan Yu walked up and greeted the familiar director.
"I have several films that will use this virtual studio. One is "Eastern Island", which is a disaster film. Disasters in the sea are technically difficult to shoot. In the past, the scenery was combined with computer stunts and virtualization, and then the real scene was combined. , it’s very complicated anyway, but it can be achieved very well when shooting here, and it doesn’t need to be so troublesome.” Director Guan introduced.
"Yes, our virtual studio is most suitable for some extreme weather, or science fiction movies about outer space, or disaster movies, or even road movies. For example, how did we shoot the road movies in the past? We had to block a section of uninhabited road. , and then shoot on location. But now I can do it all in my studio, and then go outside to shoot a few real scenes. There is no need to block roads to disturb people or affect normal traffic." Mr. Wang spared no effort to introduce.
"A big company is a big company. At least we can't build such a high-tech virtual movie studio now." Zhao Yishen sighed.
"Yes, big companies such as Forty Thieves Film and Television, Emperor Penguin Film and Television, including Friendship Brothers Film and Television, are not only in terms of personal connections, but also in terms of cooperation with directors, actors, and behind-the-scenes production teams. Not only are they soft power, they are also real in hard power. There are many leaders in the industry. Our Fat Cat Studio wants to be the strongest. It will take five to eight years of hard work to keep up with them." Lao Xie salivated when he saw the virtual movie studio belonging to the Friendship Brothers in the news. .
"Mr. Wang, the development of AI has kept pace with each other in the past few years. Nowadays, there are also films shot with AI in China, and not just cartoons. Even taking cartoons as an example, it once took a year or two for a painter to draw a scene. Even computer production takes several months. Nowadays, AI technology can be used to shoot a large-scale film in a few days. How do you think AI will change the film industry?" asked host Lan Yu.
"In fact, you can see that our studio has multiple functions such as virtual shooting, face capture, motion capture, including green screen, and immersion in real scenes. It can provide a good shooting environment for movies, TV series, and variety shows. Through virtual shooting technology, It can realize many scenes that are difficult to shoot in real life, such as natural disasters, sandstorms, extreme weather, etc. It does not need to be generated through CG in post-production. It can be realized by virtual shooting and post-production."
"AI plus virtual shooting will lead a new film and television industrialization process. AI will not subvert the film and television industry, but AI will eliminate and subvert some traditional and old shooting technologies, so we should accept and embrace AI as a technology. We are currently Some post-production technologies in the industry will become better because of AI.”
"It can be said that the current Chinese film industry has a good opportunity, that is, in the AI era, it can completely catch up with or even surpass the level of overseas film industries. I hope that we can use good film content plus technologies such as AI and virtual shooting to allow us to Chinese films are doing better."
"It seems that Mr. Wang is absolutely supportive of AI technology. I wonder if Friendship Brothers Film and Television has any new plans in the past few years?"
"In fact, we now invest in more than 70-80 film and television dramas every year. The latest five-year plan for most of the dramas that we focus on investing in is 30, and among the dramas we invest in, we used to focus on the box office. It depends on the number of moviegoers, but now we are more pursuing the diversification of film styles, rich themes, and the combination of scripts with current events to cater to the current situation, and we will pursue the linkage between movies and dramas."
"Also, we will strengthen investment and cooperation with film and television colleagues in the Greater Bay Area. Xiangjiang Film has a very mature and distinctive industrial film system, but it has been somewhat declining in recent years, but there are still good directors and producers in the Xiangjiang film circle. , actor, Xiangjiang Film is a very important part of Chinese films and a label for Chinese films to go international, so we will strengthen cooperation with them. I believe that Xiangjiang Films will one day recover, and the recovery of Xiangjiang Films will also Let Chinese films go global in a better way."
