Having just experienced a great battle, Meng Ziyi was lazily leaning in Yang Hao's arms, savoring the lingering I felt the movement of the person next to me, and I saw Yang Hao get up from the bed, walk to the desk, and seem to be writing or drawing.
"Brother, what are you doing?" Meng Ziyi asked.
"I'm drawing the special effects shots for "The Witch," Yang Hao explained casually, still focusing on sketching with his head down.
"The Witch" is a 3D special effects blockbuster. This type of movie is the most time-consuming, and it often takes more than two or three years from project initiation to release.
In the past two or three years, the production of special effects shots accounted for at least half of the work.
Yang Hao can't afford to waste this time.
Yang Hao had seen the movie "The Witch" in his previous life, and he remembered some of the special effects shots clearly.
Yang Hao wanted to draw these special effects shots, so that the time for special effects production would definitely be greatly reduced.
"Special effects shot?" Hearing Yang Hao's answer, Meng Ziyi's big round eyes sparkled and her curiosity was instantly aroused.
She had read the script of "The Witch" a long time ago and could recite the plot by heart. Because of this, she knew that the core of this movie lay in the special effects.
Now that he heard that Yang Hao was drawing special effects pictures, how could Meng Ziyi sit still?
They were an old couple, so there was nothing to be shy about. She put on a hip-hugging halter dress without even a bra, and walked straight to Yang Hao. Two purple grapes could be vaguely seen.
"This?" Meng Ziyi was shocked when he looked down at the sketch drawn by Yang Hao on the desk.
It was the first time she saw Yang Hao drawing. She thought it was just some doodles, but she never expected that Yang Hao had such a strong foundation in sketching and the special effects drawings he drew were very vivid.
Yang Hao draws very quickly. In order to save time, he only gives simple outlines of the characters, and focuses on the actions, moves and special effects.
Meng Ziyi just stood quietly beside Yang Hao, watching him paint motionlessly, like a red-sleeved lady adding to his beauty.
In just one hour, Yang Hao drew four special effects sketches.
When Meng Ziyi was with Yang Hao before, she was more interested in resources, but gradually she became fascinated by her senior brother's muscular physique and inexhaustible physical strength, and at this time she was deeply attracted by Yang Hao's talent.
Looking at Yang Hao's profile as he was painting seriously and attentively, Meng Ziyi felt that Yang Hao was really handsome at this moment.
For nearly three weeks, Yang Hao spent time at home drawing special effects and movie storyboards.
When I feel tired, I play games with Meng Ziyi and do some exercise, which is a combination of work and rest.
"Huh! Finally done," Yang Hao stood up, stretched and relaxed his muscles.
"Ah! Brother, is the painting done? Can I see it?" Meng Ziyi, who was lying on the bed playing with her mobile phone, heard Yang Hao say that the painting was done. She immediately got up from the bed, came to Yang Hao excitedly, and looked at the pile of manuscripts drawn by Yang Hao with eagerness to try.
"Come on, give me a kiss, and I'll let you see." After completing the work, Yang Hao completely relaxed.
As soon as people relax, all kinds of little thoughts come to mind.
Seeing Meng Ziyi wearing only a thin, halter-shaped hip skirt, seemingly without any underwear, Yang Hao became extremely furious.
He put his arms around Meng Ziyi's slender waist and placed her on his thighs.
"Ziyi, you play with special effects pictures, brother will play with you, okay?" Yang Hao leaned close to Meng Ziyi's earlobe and whispered ambiguous words.
"Brother, you are so bad!" Meng Ziyi's earlobes turned red instantly when she heard Yang Hao's words, but she did not struggle. Instead, she lay obediently in Yang Hao's arms.
This is a typical example: Brother, you are so bad, but I, your sister, love you so much.
It can only be said that Meng Ziyi has been completely conquered by Yang Hao and cannot resist Yang Hao's affection at all.
I don't know when Meng Ziyi's hip skirt was...
……
When everything was over, Meng Ziyi picked up the special effects drawings and storyboards drawn by Yang Hao and looked through them carefully.
With the addition of storyboard images, Meng Ziyi had a deeper understanding of the script of "The Witch" and roughly knew what kind of picture Yang Hao wanted to express.
"Ziyi?" Yang Hao's hands were not honest and were still roaming around Meng Ziyi's body.
"Hmm?" Meng Ziyi thought that Yang Hao was in the mood again, and she leaned against Yang Hao with a sense of elegance.
"After reading the storyboard, you should know that this movie has a lot of fighting scenes. I plan to arrange a martial arts teacher to train you for a period of time to prevent you from failing during the filming," Yang Hao said softly while hugging Meng Ziyi.
"Okay, brother, I'll listen to you," Meng Ziyi was very obedient, and Yang Hao liked obedient girls.

Chaoyang International Innovation Park, Building 9C-A 1, is home to Tiangong Yicai, a studio famous for its special effects work for "The Wandering Earth" and "Changjin Lake".
The movie "The Witch" requires a lot of special effects, and Yang Hao immediately thought of Tiangong Yicai.
Chang Hongsong, the president of Tiangong Yicai, was very excited at this moment. All this was because he received a call from Yang Hao yesterday and knew that Yang Hao would come to visit him today.
Who in the industry doesn’t know that Yang Hao’s new movie is a special effects blockbuster?
And it will be released worldwide.
At this critical moment, Yang Hao is coming to visit him. Even a blind man knows what signal this is sending.
Yang Hao's undefeated record gave Chang Hongsong too much imagination.
If they can produce the special effects for the movie "The Witch" and the movie becomes a global hit, then Tiangong Yicai will become famous all over the world.
Fame equals profit.
At this moment, Chang Hongsong seemed to see bundles of banknotes coming towards him.
Yang Hao was sitting in the car. From a distance, he saw seven or eight people waiting quietly under the building. They must be there to welcome him.
"Mr. Yang," as soon as Yang Hao got out of the car, Chang Hongsong took the initiative to walk up to him, shook Yang Hao's hand tightly, and kept complimenting him.
"Mr. Chang, you are too polite." Out of respect for the beauty of nature, Yang Hao was also very polite.
Afterwards, Yang Hao and Chang Hongsong entered the elevator together and came to Tiangong Yicai’s office.
It has to be said that the famous "Natural Craftsmanship" in later generations was still in a very dilapidated state at that time.
The office space is on a shared floor with other companies.
The office space of 70 to 80 square meters is divided into more than a dozen workstations of various sizes, making it look very crowded.
Yang Hao came to Chang Hongsong's office.
"Mr. Chang, is your special effects company currently accepting investment?" Without much nonsense, Yang Hao got straight to the point.
"Investment?" I originally thought that Yang Hao intended to let Tiangong Yicai take over the special effects production of "The Witch", but I never expected that Yang Hao actually wanted to invest in Tiangong Yicai.
Suddenly, an excited smile appeared on Chang Hongsong's face.
Tiangong Yicai was established as early as 2009, but its development has been unsatisfactory.
The Chinese film market seems to be getting more and more prosperous, but there are very few movies that need to use special effects CG. Occasionally, there are only a few shots of special effects CG in the movies. In order to survive, Tiangong Yicai takes on such low-profit jobs as color grading for movies and giving training courses.
Tiangong Yicai is really short of money, and of course even more short of resources.
It goes without saying that having an entertainment industry tycoon like Yang Hao invest in Tiangong Yicai will bring many benefits.
"Mr. Yang, are you really interested in investing in Tiangong Yicai?" Chang Hongsong asked cautiously.
"Of course," Yang Hao answered affirmatively.
"Then can you let us produce your next sci-fi action blockbuster?" Chang Hongsong asked tentatively.
"As long as you let me invest, these are all small problems." Yang Hao is now determined to acquire Tiangong Yicai.
Although China does not have any real special effects blockbusters now, Yang Hao knows very well that it will not be long before fairy tale TV series and science fiction movies will emerge like mushrooms after rain, and there will be more and more movies and TV series that require special effects.
The stock price of the special effects company has also skyrocketed like a rocket, and investing now is a sure win.
Yang Hao's investment was a win-win for both parties, and soon Yang Hao and Chang Hongsong reached a cooperation agreement.
Tiangong Yicai was valued at 20 million yuan, and Yang Hao invested million yuan, accounting for % of the shares.
The special effects for Yang Hao’s next film, “The Witch,” were also completed by Tiangong Yicai.
This kind of special effects company only has a few dozen people and some computer equipment.
As long as the technical staff leaves, this kind of company will become worthless in a minute.
While injecting capital, Yang Hao also signed an agreement with the technical experts who held shares in the company, stipulating that they would not leave the company in the next five years, and once they left, the shares they held would become invalid.
"Is this the sketch of the special effects shots for your next movie, Mr. Yang?" Chang Hongsong was shocked when he took the manuscript paper handed to him by Yang Hao and saw what was drawn on it.
"How is it, isn't the painting pretty good?" The ability to draw is given by the system when the director's ability is maxed out. This kind of painting skill should be considered top-notch among directors.
“Not just good, but great”
"You don't know that those of us who work on special effects are treated like grandsons by the client. In the past, when we received a request from the client, we worked overnight, but no matter how it turned out, they were always dissatisfied and asked us to make changes over and over again."
"We worked overtime to revise it, and finally the client said the first version was the best."
"Anyway, they won't give it to us unless we give it to them three or five times. They just think we make this money too easily."
"With this sketch, the effect you want is clear at a glance. It's so clear that we can produce special effects CG much faster."
"If all clients could provide this kind of finished product rendering like you do, it would be much easier for us to produce special effects."
When Chang Hongsong talked about the difficulties that Party A's father had faced in the past, his face seemed to be covered with a mask of pain, and it seemed that he was really heartbroken by Party A.
Financing is a very complicated matter, and only a verbal agreement was reached today.
Subsequently, auditors will need to audit the sources and flows of Tiangong Yicai’s funds, its effectiveness, and the income of lenders.
Finally, notarization is carried out before the financing agreement is signed.
Although the final agreement has not been signed yet, in order to save time, Yang Hao still gave the special effects order of "The Witch" to Tiangong Yicai for production, as he thought that Tiangong Yicai would not dare to break his promise to him.
"Mr. Chang, can the special effects of "The Witch" be completed within half a year?" Yang Hao asked worriedly before leaving.
"Of course there is no problem. Mr. Yang, you have provided such detailed special effects renderings. The production difficulties will be much less. Half a year should be no problem," Chang Hongsong gave an affirmative answer.
"Okay, happy cooperation then."
“A pleasure to work with”
-
After completing the special effects production, Yang Hao planned to start the "Witch" project as soon as possible.
Sitting in the office, Yang Hao was thinking about the casting of "The Witch".
Yang Hao suddenly felt that his company was a bit dominated by females and less males. There were many female artists, but too few male artists, just Yang Hao and Li Xian.
Moreover, Yang Hao didn't even consume many of the resources, and Li Xian couldn't consume them all by himself.
There are two male protagonists in the movie "The Witch", Mr. Cui and Mr. Noble.
Although "The Witch" is a movie with a strong female lead and the two male protagonists have very few roles, this is a movie that was released worldwide and used by Yang Hao to enter the Hollywood market. Even if they only have three or two minutes of roles, it is still a top resource in the circle.
Li Xian can only play one of them, and currently a male artist is still missing.
"Maybe I should sign a male artist for the company," this thought came to Yang Hao's mind.
Who to sign?
Suddenly Yang Hao thought of Chen Xiao.
When thinking of Chen Xiao, Yang Hao thought of Yu Zheng.
In fact, many people in the circle know about the grudge between Yang Hao and Yu Zheng.
With the rise of Yang Hao in recent years, although Yang Hao did not suppress the other party openly, many film and television companies subconsciously avoided cooperating with Yu Zheng Studio in order to please him.
Given Yang Hao's current relationship with Wanda Film Group, and his status as a major shareholder of Maoyan, some celebrities who have some ideas about movies are trying to avoid him.
This year, Yang Hao's company's TV dramas have gradually risen, with a number of hits produced one after another. Coupled with his own layout in variety shows, some TV stations are now deliberately distancing themselves from Yu Zheng.
This has caused Yu Zheng to have a very unhappy time in the circle recently.
Chen Xiao is signed to Yu Zheng Studio.
Yang Hao stole the male lead in "Legend of Lu Zhen" from Chen Xiao. His current situation is like Nie Yuan who lost the role of Yang Guo. His entire luck seems to have been taken away. He should have become famous, but now he seems to have lost his voice in the entertainment industry.
Chen Xiao, who has not had any filming for several months, is wondering whether he should retire.
It was at this time that he received an invitation to meet Yang Hao.
Chen Xiao knew about the grudge between Yang Hao and his boss Yu Zheng. Now that he was in bad luck, it was also indirectly related to the other party.
Chen Xiao didn't blame Yang Hao, he could only say it was fate.
"Should I go meet him?" Chen Xiao was very hesitant.
If Yu Zheng finds out that I'm going to meet Yang Hao, my situation will definitely get worse.
If he didn't go to meet him, Chen Xiao felt that he might lose an opportunity to turn things around.
Who cares! Life has already reached the bottom, he doesn't believe it can get worse than it is now?
Chen Xiao has recently become obsessed with stock trading, and the stocks he bought have gone down every day. But he is not upset, the market has reached 2850 points, he doesn't believe it can go lower?
Finally, Chen Xiao decided to meet with Yang Hao to see what he wanted to see him about. (End of this chapter)
