There are four major special effects companies on the planet, Industrial Light & Magic, and then the digital field at its peak, as well as Weta Digital and Sony Pictures.

But there are only three major in the metaverse: Industrial Light & Magic and Sony Pictures, and the digital field.

Unlike Earth, the digital realm did not die at the hands of Exploding Be, but it was also in debt, and Weta Digital disappeared from this world, or was not famous.

The reason is very simple, the rise of Weta Digital on Earth is because this company was created by Peter Jackson and his friends, and a series of special effects, costumes, makeup, and props completed for the "Lord of the Rings" series, and since then it has embarked on a terrific road, but there is no Lord of the Rings on Meta Earth.

"I'll take a stake in a special effects company first, and then I'll wait until I get "The Lord of the Rings" and then do it...... It's not right, when I have enough money, I must make the whole theme of the Three Emperors and Five Emperors period in ancient China, which is also a blockbuster. ”

Chu Shun finally combined his own needs and found XF Technology Studio, headquartered in the magic capital.

This special effect was created by a Chinese, and because it was very cost-effective, it was popular with some small and medium-budget Hollywood films, and then it was acquired by Industrial Light & Magic.

After the acquisition, XF Technology learned a lot about ILM, so the technology has made great progress.

Chu Shun's "The Matrix 1" is precisely a cooperation with Industrial Light and Magic, but the executor is XF Technology.

Let's not talk about light and magic, it is still the first in the special effects of the movie, and Chu Shun has negotiated.

The matter of part of the shareholding is a little troublesome, and Chu Shun feels more and more that he has to hire an assistant who will come and leave at a moment's notice.

The specific cooperation drafted the plan and talked for three days, that is to say, Chu Shun stayed in Los Angeles for five days, and returned to China tomorrow, and he still had to go back to the hotel today, and then take the plane after sleeping enough.

Back to your hotel room.

"It's a pity that Lucas filmed Star Wars in '77 and founded ILM, otherwise if he had filmed Star Wars, he would have gone sideways in the United States. Chu Shun lay on the sofa chair and muttered to himself.

Chu Shun knows very well that if the most profitable movie series in the world is the "Harry Potter" series, then the one that has the greatest impact on the United States is "Star Wars", and there is no one.

"It's not right, even if it is drawn to the next few films, it is impossible to achieve this influence, it is a matter of time, and the copyright is also in the hands of others. Chu Shun put aside his miscellaneous thoughts, and then prepared to take a look at the actor that Brother Fu found for him.

"Yo, this is really handsome, it actually makes me feel a little threatened. Chu Shun opened the email, saw the first photo, and felt that this son was extraordinary.

Then I looked at the second one, and almost blinded his eyes, but it wasn't too ugly, mainly because the contrast was too strong before.

This is the best way to bring a brother on a blind date, a girl to a sister, and then the wingman to dress up a little dirty, so in contrast, the appearance adds a point out of thin air.

"What the hell is this Nima?" Chu Shun, who was questioning, looked at the information and understood that the previous photo was eight months ago, and it was already a little decadent at that time, and then the latter photo was Xu Tanggu's current appearance.

"Even if you tell me it's a person, I don't recognize it. Chu Shun looked at it carefully and still couldn't recognize it, of course he cared more about another thing.

According to Brother Blow, the appearance of the first photo has been a little attenuated, and this situation and this appearance is terrifying.

"Then what does this product look like? Chu Shun searched the Internet, and Xu Tanggu was very famous, so there were many photos in one search.

Even the stinky and shameless Chu Shun couldn't help but admit defeat, this person is as handsome as him, and they can share the nickname of the ball grass together.

"System, who is handsome between me and this photo?" Chu Shun regretted it a little as soon as he finished asking, because the system doesn't lie.

[The host's appearance is the highest, indisputable] The system's crisp and neat answer was a bit unexpected by Chu Shun.

"What does it mean that Song Yu is in the eyes of a lover, this is!" Chu Shun muttered, and then looked at the information of the second person.

The second is an island country, who was born as an island model, and later transformed into an actor, and especially likes to act in some spoof dramas, such as "Panty Superman", wearing the underwear worn by girls on her head, it will explode with great power.

Chu Shun searched the Internet, the stills of this movie for the actor of this island country, and he decided to choose Xu Tanggu decisively, he really couldn't imagine that the savior was this product.

When Morpheus asks you if you choose the red pill or the blue pill, Neo laughs "I choose panties, hahaha", it's so chilling.

Chu Shun sent a message back to Brother Blowing, asking him to take Xu Tanggu as a candidate, find two foreign countries with good looks, and finally choose.

The stubble of grabbing the "lover" slowly dissipated over time, and anyway, in the end, there was no trouble, and a big advantage was that the onlookers were all-you-can-eat melons.

Swedish netizens said: "I don't know what a foreign director has to fight for." ”

Dutch netizens said: "The Palme d'Or has won all the directors of our country, there is nothing unusual." ”

German netizens said: "This director is very strong, but he definitely doesn't understand our German culture." ”

British netizens said: "We have many good directors, and there are more directors with high artistic achievements, and we will never grab an oriental director." ”

Argentine netizens said: "Director Chu Shun can actually come to Argentina with Valentina to have a look. ”

"Why is there a strange country mixed in?" said Britain, Germany, the Netherlands, and Sweden stared at Argentina.

It seems that British netizens are really confident in their country, but they haven't thought about which country has the most famous directors in Europe, as the center of art films?

Italy!

The world's modern art film "Holy Trinity", Fellini is Italian, De Sica, the son of the Academy Award, is Italian, Lucino, the last temptation of classicism, Rossellini, the initiator of neorealist films, and Antonioni, the king of film aesthetics, are all Italians, and even Italy is robbing, and Britain doesn't know who gave the confidence.

Chu Shun returned to China, and there is still a week before "Paradise Cinema" is released all over the world, Chu Shun can also relax for a while and save energy, after all, the next step will be a few months of closed training.

That's right, before the filming of "The Matrix" began, Yuan Baye specially trained the male and female protagonists and other leading actors for four months, so the fight was so good-looking, and it felt clever.

Chu Shun will also ask the main actors who have collapsed in action scenes to join the special selection, with Chu Shun's current fame, even if there is no schedule, as long as they are selected by Chu Shun, 99% of the actors will be happy.

Before the energy began to be full, Chu Shun was called to the Beijing Hotel the next day.

The Jingcheng Hotel is generally a place for important foreign guests to stay in China, or for some meetings, it will rent the conference room downstairs.

Before Chu Shun was hindered by the fame of the Beijing Hotel, and then stayed for a few nights, the only impression was that the hall was very calm and elegant, but the room was very old, and even gave Chu Shun the feeling that it was a hotel twenty years ago.

Of course, the most powerful thing about the Jingcheng Hotel is the location, which is no more than ten minutes' walk from Tiananmen Square.

"Brother Sun, why are you calling me in such a hurry today?" Chu Shun saw someone asking.

"You don't know?" Sun Guangtai also looked at Chu Shun strangely, and then suddenly realized: "It's normal, they have never issued a press release for this award, and I was very confused when I came for the first time a few years ago." ”

So what kind of award is it? After talking for a long time without a focus, Chu Shun looked at Sun Guangtai and waited for the following.

He didn't know what award was so arrogant, the notifier didn't send any invitation, and there was no customer service to confirm that the winner was contacted, what if the winner didn't come?

The key is that there are no reporters around, and the award ceremony is chosen at the Beijing Hotel, which is strange everywhere.

Chu Shun called Principal Hu to ask him to come, and said with a smile that it was beneficial.

"The 16th Spiritual Civilization Construction [Five One Project] (2019-2022), Chu Shun, your movie must be on the top ten movies. Sun Guangtai said.

Hearing the five-one project, that's fine, everything weird makes sense.

Nima's award was founded by the Propaganda Department of the CPC Central Committee, and ten good movies, ten good songs, ten good dramas, ten good TV series, ten good books, and ten good radio dramas were selected for three years.

Applications are not accepted, and the nominees are all provincial and municipal government units, such as the Beijing Propaganda Department that nominated Chu Shun's "Sweet Honey" work.

Then the Writers' Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles can nominate good books, and there is also a precedent for MGTO to nominate operas, in other words, this award is an official award through and through, more official than the Huabiao Award.

If he won the award, the Central Propaganda Department would definitely not be able to call the award-winning person directly, and would directly find the brokerage company, but Chu Shun was more special, and he had only graduated for more than a year, so he called Beiying.

And Principal Hu of Beiying may have wanted to surprise or something, so he deliberately didn't say it.

Chu Shun thought about it, and a large part of his award was due to his status as a United Nations Youth Ambassador.

"Then Brother Sun, why are you here?" Chu Shun thought about it, as far as the top ten are concerned, it will not be Sun Guangtai's turn anyway, the reason is very simple, the director came to accept the award when the movie won the top ten, and Sun Guangtai didn't write books or sing.

"What's the matter, I'm also the vice president of the Filmmakers Association, so of course I have to be there. Sun Guangtai decided that the next time he played, he must give Chu Shun a 0:9.

As soon as he entered, Chu Shun found that the scene was really not small, Sun Guangtai, vice president of the Filmmakers Association, Liu Guanhong, vice president of the Directors Association, vice chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles, vice chairman of the Writers Association, and others to tell the truth, it may be a leader, Chu Shun doesn't know.

The Five One Project Award is a certificate and a certificate, there are no reporters at the award ceremony, there is no dinner, and there is no big conversation, Chu Shun is the first time to see such a clean award ceremony.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, you will know that there is a list of five one-project awards on the Internet, but have you ever seen any photos circulating at the scene?

No, not one, not only no, but also not even the person who receives the award and presents it every year is not clear.

Put the awards back on the shelf, Chu Shun is almost in China now, the Lily Award, the Huabiao Award plus the five ones, who else?

Two more days passed.

On July 15, "Cinema Paradiso" was released.
