After ILM's trip, Sophia takes John to a manor near San Francisco, owned by George Lucas, the famous father of Star Wars.

Speaking of George Lucas, we have to mention "Star Wars", this man used his unlimited imagination and the most avant-garde technology to erect a monument in the world of light and shadow, influencing generations of people.

At the Academy Awards, the truck driver who held up the little golden man and shouted "I am the king of the world" was only because he watched "Star Wars" that he got into the directing industry and filmed "Terminator", "Titanic" and "Avatar".

And a 15-year-old boy who watched "Star Wars" in the same year as him, after watching "Star Wars", silently told himself that he would become a director in the future to shoot such a movie, and many years later, this teenager really became a director and successfully directed the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy.

Another 40-year-old director watched "Star Wars" and caught up, filming "Alien" two years later and "Blade Runner" five years later.

So "Star Wars" has long gone beyond the scope of a movie in North America, and has become a symbol that has penetrated into everyone's heart, and the person who has accomplished this great feat is the man with a beard standing in front of John at this moment.

"Uncle George....... ”

Sophia raised her hand happily and waved.

"It turned out to be Sophia, I haven't seen ...... for a long time. George Lucas saw that it was Sophia and hugged her happily.

When the two separated, Sophia introduced John to George Lucas. "Uncle George, this is director John Chris Deng, and "Stealing Love" is from him. ”

George Lucas heard Sophia say this and watched as John stretched out his hand. "It turned out to be Mr. Chris Deng, a new Hollywood ghost director!"

"Don't dare to be a ....... John hurriedly shook George Lucas's hand and humbly. How much courage it takes to call a ghost in front of this man.

"Deserve ....... George Lucas let go of John's hand and said seriously. "Isn't the person who can enter the 100 million yuan club with his first movie a ghost?"

"But I would never dare to call it in front of you. John hurriedly waved his hand. ""Stealing Love" is nothing compared to "American Painting", which not only earned $110 million at the box office with this $780,000 film, but also won five Academy Award nominations. ”

George Lucas belongs to the kind of people who appreciate the food of his grandfather, and his first movie was an instant hit, and the second movie made "Star Wars", and by the way, he made a legendary company that changed the film industry - Industrial Light and Magic.

"I actually had a short film before I made American Painting, and I was 29 years old at the time, and you were only 20 years old when you were filming Stealing Love, so you deserve the title of ghost. ”

George Lucas heard John speak of his glorious deeds, and felt a little pride in his heart.

"I said, can you not boast so much in disguise?" Sophia on the side couldn't stand it, and John and George Lucas complimented each other as soon as they met, which was simply boasting in disguise.

"Haha......"

John and George Lucas smiled at Sophia's words.

"Okay, let's not be so polite, sit down. George Lucas laughed and waved his hand and ordered the servant to bring two cups of coffee.

Sophia took a sip of her coffee and pursed her lips. "Uncle George, we just came from ILM and found you out you weren't there. ”

George Lucas nodded and smiled. "How's it going, it's going well!"

"Yes. Sophia nodded. "What should be explained has been explained, and it is very smooth. ”

"That's good!"

George Lucas nodded in satisfaction, then looked at John and thanked him. "It is a great honor for director Chris Deng to be able to hand over the special effects of Forrest Gump to Industrial Light & Magic. ”

"Mr. Lucas, you are so polite. John was businesslike. "As a benchmark in the industry, I am relieved to entrust the special effects of Forrest Gump to it. What's more, with Mr. Dennis Mullen personally leading the team, I am even more relieved. ”

"That's fine. George Lucas nodded again. He was pleased with John's attitude, he had seen many young people, but few were as steady and polite as John.

"I heard that director Chris Deng's "Forrest Gump" will be used for public welfare?" "Forrest Gump" announced at the opening ceremony that all proceeds will be used for public welfare, so it is not unusual for George Lucas to know.

"Yes. John nodded. "I want to do my part for public welfare. ”

"Well......" George Lucas nodded approvingly. "There are very few young people like you who care about good causes. With that, he proposed. "I'm also very passionate about public welfare, and I don't know if I can join it. ”

"Absolutely. John smiled. John was not surprised that George Lucas wanted to join, and after George Lucas retired in his previous life, he spent all the money from the sale of Lucasfilm on public welfare.

For a person like him, in this life, he has to be famous and have money, and the rest of the time is to pursue some higher-level spiritual needs.

And George Lucas smiled even more after hearing that John agreed to his offer, and he was not worried that John would lie to him, because his friends Francis Ford Coppola and Martin Scorsese were among them. And the person in charge of public welfare is Audrey Hepburn, and the credibility of this angel is still worth trusting.

In the end, after negotiation, George Lucas donated 500 million dollars to the special foundation founded by John with ILM to bear the packaging fee for the special effects of Forrest Gump.

Of course, it is not that ILM does not charge the packaging fee of "Forrest Gump", but this money will be paid by George Lucas, after all, the technicians in ILM still need to support their families, and the company also needs to go through the accounts, and when it comes to tax returns, this part of the expenditure can be legally exempted.

John and George Lucas met this time, because of the public welfare, the conversation was very harmonious, once people have a common pursuit, they will have a common language, communicate more, and the relationship between them will become closer and closer.

In the end, George Lucas also took John to the Star Wars base, and after some excursions, John finally figured out how Star Wars was filmed, and the most surprising thing for him was the lightsaber in the movie, he always thought that this thing would glow, but after seeing the lightsaber used for filming, he knew that this thing was a plastic soft stick with a highly reflective paint on the surface.
