Five hundred and thirteen chapters of special effects short films
After getting John's approval, the mayor of Los Angeles rushed to San Francisco non-stop to collect taxes from the people, trying to take money out of the pockets of the people, which is not an easy task, and no one likes people to take money from their own pockets.
Therefore, in order to smoothly get the people to agree, the mayor of Los Angeles decided to keep pace with the times and adopt a new way, using the now developed computer special effects to produce the underground roads of Los Angeles and the planned city with special effects, and intuitively show them to the people, which is more convincing.
And after Lucas learned the purpose of the mayor of Los Angeles, he agreed to help make two short films of a few minutes without saying a word, one to promote the city, one to promote tax increases, and most importantly, it was free, which made the mayor of Los Angeles very happy, he originally planned to take out 2 million US dollars, but he didn't expect it to be free, this wave of happiness came so suddenly!
For a person who has donated billions of dollars, two short films are nothing, compared to being stuck in traffic jams every time he goes to Los Angeles! As long as the Los Angeles government agrees to build roads, let alone two short films, ten short films Lucas doesn't blink his eyes, and there is nothing else here in California, and it is too simple to make a short film.
After Lucas agreed to make a short film, the mayor of Los Angeles transferred more than a dozen relevant persons in charge to assist Industrial Light and Magic, and the movie scenes can be imaginative, but the construction video released by the government must be real, and it must be made in full accordance with the design plan and the effect after construction, and it cannot make some fantasy things, which is not a movie.
Two short films, Industrial Light & Magic can make a special effects short film to promote the city, and the other advertisement to promote tax increases, Lucas wants to make an animated film, the cartoon characters are more relatable and easier for the public to accept, so he called his friend Spielberg and asked DreamWorks to help make this animated short film.
A month later, two five-minute short films were released, and in order to maximize the content of the short films to the public, the city of Los Angeles not only released short films on local TV stations and movie theaters, but also on NBC and ABC.
"Congestion, noise, air pollution...... How long can you endure this kind of Los Angeles? Let's work together to build a new Los Angeles!
In the future, the government will invest 301.2 billion US dollars to build 16 main roads, 29 branch roads, and 13 subways underground, reconstructing the city's new transportation network, and completely bidding farewell to congestion, noise and ....... ”
The short film made with special effects is shocking, 45 highways, 13 subways, like spider webs all over the ground of Los Angeles, it looks both sci-fi and advanced! Just like the city that appeared in a science fiction movie.
And with the broadcast of the short film, thousands of Los Angeles citizens also knew that the government was going to build roads, and even John in New York saw it.
The mayor of Los Angeles did not expect this at all, but the effect is not bad, and the short film looks bluffing.
The 16 main roads are unified with 12 lanes in both directions, the 29 branch roads are unified with 8 lanes in both directions, and the middle 2 lanes are emergency rescue lanes. There are emergency exits every 2 kilometers to facilitate quick exit from the tunnel in the event of an earthquake or emergency. In the central area, there is also a parking lot in the tourist hotspot, and the car exhaust in the tunnel will be uniformly filtered and purified before being discharged to the outside, and in order to reduce the depression of the driver, the tunnel uses a light source close to the sunlight and plants are planted.
After the completion of the construction of all underground roads, the ground vehicles will be reduced by 60%, and the first and second rings of the central city will be closed to vehicles except for special vehicles such as fire fighting and first aid, and the viaducts will be demolished, planted with cherry trees and ginkgo biloba, and replaced by boulevards.
Seven high-speed subways will connect the surrounding districts from the city, airports and stations, and three high-speed railways will connect the satellite cities around Los Angeles and important cities in the surrounding states, and will also open a direct high-speed railway to New York, which will take only 15 minutes to reach by high-speed subway from Los Angeles to the districts, and only 30 minutes to take the high-speed train to the surrounding satellite cities, and only 4 hours to New York, which greatly shortens the ride time.
After the video was played, the whole Los Angeles area cheered and applauded.
It's almost a dog jam in Los Angeles, and you can't even say it's a traffic jam if you don't get stuck in traffic for an hour or two every day when you commute to work. Now that the government has finally built the road, the days of congestion are finally over, and the green area will be increased throughout the area, especially the boulevards of the first and second ring roads, which are very popular with the people.
So when the second short film promoting the tax increase was broadcast, everyone unanimously agreed to raise the tax, and everyone who owns a car will pay $2 a day, which is only $730 a year, as long as this money can solve the traffic problem and make the living environment beautiful. I'm stuck in traffic jams for an hour or two every day to get to and from work, and I'm really fed up!
In fact, even if the Los Angeles government does not make this short film, Los Angeles residents will take the initiative to ask for a fuel tax increase next year for the government to build roads.
The people of a place have reached the point where they have taken the initiative to apply to the government for tax increases to repair roads, which shows what the traffic here has become!
Of course, when these two short films sparked a lot of applause in Los Angeles, the whole country was also talking about Los Angeles' transportation and urban greenery, and the language was full of envy and jealousy, especially the people of New York, the largest metropolis in the United States, couldn't sit still after watching the short films.
Los Angeles is the most congested city in the entire developed country in the United States, and the congestion in New York is not much better.
So the day after the short film aired, the people of New York surrounded the New York City Hall with small signs, and they were willing to raise taxes like Los Angeles, asking the government to build roads and solve traffic and noise problems.
When the mayor of New York saw that tens of thousands of people surrounded the city hall, he quickly came forward to explain.
Finally, it was promised that New York would not only build underground roads like Los Angeles, but also renovate the subway, add high-speed trains, increase greenery, and invest more than $80 billion more than Los Angeles.
As soon as the people of New York heard that New York was going to build roads, the focus was that they had invested more than Los Angeles, and they finally went home with small cards on their backs.
Although the people of New York are satisfied, the people of other cities are not satisfied, and they have asked the government to "" solve the traffic problem, and finally the federal government came out to explain that it will invest trillions of dollars to support infrastructure construction in various places, and the amount of support will be invested according to the size of the city, GDP, taxes, and population.
As soon as this policy was introduced, the people of the United States were very satisfied, and even Clinton's public support rate increased considerably.
