Chapter 34: Sorry, But This Super Special Effects Studio Is Mine

“Group leader, I’m sure you know how popular movies are these days. Commercial special effects blockbusters are very popular in the market.”
“If you invest in us, the funds will definitely be used for the movies.”
“Especially in special effects. Otherwise, if the effects are too bad, it will create a huge contrast and even directly affect the box office.”
“Nowadays, when the audience is watching a movie, not only do they need to feel it in their hearts, they also need to enjoy it visually!”
Creative Artist Agency’s Decca continued, “We plan to use 50 million of the 200 million US dollars to pay the actors, 100 million US dollars to set up scenes and post-production special effects, and 50 million US dollars to promote!”
“For post-production, the total is about 150 million!”
“If you are willing to invest $200 million, I can arrange the layout and give you 50% of the box office earnings.”
Charles looked carefully at what Decca said.
Then he slowly typed in the words.
“60% investment, but only 50% return?”
From Charles’ reply, one could tell that Charles was a newbie investor.
For a film company, such investors were the most popular.
The reason was very simple.
Creative Artist Agency’s Decca: “Group leader, you can’t say it like that. We’re planning to shoot a movie, and there are other costs as well. Manpower and material resources are all capital!”
“So that’s how it is…”
At this moment, Musk jumped out again.
“Beautiful Decca, you can’t scam the group leader like this. You said that spending manpower and material resources will be counted as part of the investment funds in the end.”
“@Group leader, don’t be fooled by beauty. Beautiful women are the best at deceiving people!”
Musk didn’t show any mercy to Decca. He defended Charles entirely.
“With a 200 million USD investment, anything less than 58% would be a trap!”
Not long after.
Creative Artist Agency’s company, Decca:”? ? ? ?”
Charles thought about it for a moment.
“Just as Musk said, 58% for the 200 million USD investment.”
“Also, I have a proposal for the post-production special effects.”
Creative Artist Agency’s Decca: “Alright, 58% then. No problem!”
“However, according to protocol, our company is responsible for the preparation of the movie. The investor can monitor the use of the funds, but isn’t allowed to check the production of the movie!”
Charles chukled.
“Don’t worry, I haven’t finished.”
Creative Artist Agency’s Decca: “Group leader, please continue.”
Charles: “I know of a super special effects studio. It’s pretty good.”
“Since Decca is planning to spend 150 million USD to produce special effects, you must want to make the special effects of the movie good. As long as you choose this special effects studio, I will invest this 200 million USD!”
“What? ? ? ?”
Creative Artist Agency’s Decca:”? ? ? ? Group leader! ! ! ! !”
Decca’s tone instantly became urgent. “Group leader, do you have the contact information of the Super Special Effects Studio?”
As the head of the major shareholder of the Creative Artist Agency, naturally she knew the current situation. What could escape their eyes in the industry?
The Super Special Effects Studio had gone viral lately!
Before Decca entered the chat group, she anxiously held a meeting with all the technical staff of the company.
At the meeting, they were all discussing the second video sent by the Super Special Effects Studio.
“The Avengers”!
An enhanced video!
Such an amazing effect was far better than the original version of the trailer by more than ten times.
Naturally, it caused an uproar in the industry!
Special effects production.
It was definitely time-consuming and labor-intensive work.
It was even longer than the shooting time.
The “Avengers” trailer had just been released, but it had already been produced for a month.
However, even though it had just been released, the Super Special Effects Studio had already enhanced it.
It took only a day?
That’s right.
The next day, the Super Special Effects Studio caught up.
In everyone’s eyes, the Super Special Effects Studio had completed it in one day!
However…
What they didn’t know was that the Super Special Effects Studio’s Charles only used half an hour to complete it.
It was only released the next day.
One could imagine.
How powerful the Super Special Effects Studio was.
The most impressive thing was its production speed.
To be fair, if there was enough money and time, even the special effects company that was the partner of the creative artist management company could do it.
But the premise was too harsh!
Who would use unlimited money to invest in a promotional film?
At the same time, how could there be so much time?!
The film industry also depended on time.
Only when there was enough time could money be made.
If they took three to four years to make a film with the accumulated funds, and three to four years to do special effects before it premiered, then it was almost certain that the movie would be gone!
Therefore, if the Creative Artist Agency wanted to shoot a sci-fi masterpiece, they had to hurry. They couldn’t wait!
Moreover, the Creative Artist Agency’s earnings was only 50 million US dollars. Most of the people who were hired were newbies. If they wanted to invest most of their funds into special effects, they had to get results.
Under such circumstances, Decca couldn’t help but want to know the contact information of the Super Special Effects Studio.
However, this Super Special Effects Studio seemed to have appeared out of thin air.
It was very mysterious.
There was no contact information.
As a result, all the bigwigs in the industry were asking about the management of the Super Special Effects Studio.
So when Decca of the Creative Artist Agency heard the news, she was instantly excited.
Charles’ idea was also very simple.
He couldn’t always rely on making money by people buying the goods in the group store!
Therefore, he had to invest.
“I do know the contact information of the Super Special Effects Studio.”
“In fact, I know the boss of the Super Special Effects Studio. I have a good relationship with him in private.”
Musk suddenly said, “Group leader, do you know the boss of the Super Special Effects Studio? Introduce us to him?”
Decca respected Musk very much. She even treated Musk as her idol. However, as long as it involved business and he could possibly become a competitor, respect was an afterthought.
This was also an important reason she became the leader of the Creative Artist Agency at such a young age.
“Senior Musk, this isn’t good, right?”
Her tone was very calm, but her competitive spirit was indeed aggressive.
Musk chuckled. “Decca, although our group doesn’t have a film industry, I’m a technology fanatic. Towards such a powerful technical special effects master, of course I’ll be curious! It’s not impossible to create a super company for him!”
“Ah, I’ll wait for the Super Special Effects Studio to finish producing the special effects for you guys before looking for a collaboration. Right now, it’s just a contact.”
