517 Spielberg

In a flash, the time came to September, and Huo Yaowen was writing "Antarctic Love" at home, while paying attention to the situation in the mainland. I learned the news from the Chinese community and learned that the rescue was very fast, and I felt a lot of comfort.

Kowloon Tong, Fok Family.

The heavy rain outside the house kept falling, Huo Yaowen stood by the window of the study, watching the heavy rain outside the house gradually cover the lawn outside the house, and his heart was quiet.

Recently, a typhoon struck, and there was a heavy rainstorm in Hong Kong, which lasted for seven or eight days in a row.

At the desk, Anna was patiently reading the manuscript of "Antarctic Love", and was moved by the process of the two acquaintance, acquaintance, and love, but when she saw the finale on the last page, the hero and heroine fell on the snow, and the sky appeared when the beautiful aurora appeared, and the story came abruptly, which made Anna feel quite unfinished.

"My dear, is this final ending Li Haohan and Chen Ran dead?" Anna couldn't help but look up at Huo Yaowen who was watching the rain by the window.

Hearing this, Huo Yaowen looked back at his wife, walked over with a smile, sat on the handle of the chair, hugged her waist and asked, "Do you think they are dead or saved?"

"Hopefully, of course, they'll be saved. ”

"That's saved. ”

"But you didn't say at the end whether the two were rescued, and you also wrote about heaven, doesn't this mean that Chen Ran and they are dead?" Anna frowned, pointing to the "heaven" in the last phrase describing the aurora.

Huo Yaowen shook his head: "For us, heaven is not a single representation of the death of the living, but also the hope of life. ”

"What do you mean......"

Anna lowered her head and pondered for a few seconds, then raised her head again and said, "When the aurora appeared, hope appeared, and the rescue team came?"

"You can understand it that way. Huo Yaowen shrugged his shoulders.

At this time, the phone in the study suddenly rang.

Huo Yaowen picked up the phone, it was Wen Yingguang who called, he said that Qingxia, Hu Yinmeng and Liu Songren had returned from filming in the United States, and they were accompanied by a person named Spielberg from the United States, and at the same time, Haruta Asai, vice president of Toho Co., Ltd., also came from Japan, saying that he wanted to discuss the filming details of "Jurassic Park" with his boss.

"Okay, I see, you arrange for them to stay first, and I'll see them again tomorrow morning. ”

"Good general manager. ”

The phone hangs up.

Anna asked curiously, "Who's coming?"

Huo Yaowen said: "It's nothing, my Jurassic Park is going to be made into a movie, the director and Japanese partners have come over, and I will ask them to meet tomorrow." ”

"Jurassic is going to be made into a movie, aren't you investing in the second part of "1999"?"

"Well, the second part of "1999" is almost finished, and now it should be done with post-production special effects. Jurassic was decided last year, and the two were originally filmed together, but because the prop model was more troublesome to make, it was delayed and did not start filming today. ”

"Well, then don't forget the orientation party held by the kindergarten the day after tomorrow. ”

"I won't forget, I will definitely go. Huo Yaowen smiled.

Speaking of the orientation party, Huo Yaowen has a headache, it's just a kindergarten, what kind of orientation party to do. Aren't the entrance ceremonies all held by middle schools and universities? Even if they are held in elementary schools, they can endure it, even in kindergartens!

……

Early the next morning.

Universal Films.

Huo Yaowen hurriedly pushed open the door of the conference room, looked at Spielberg and Haruta Asai who had already arrived, and couldn't help but say apologetically: "I'm sorry everyone, I'm late." ”

"It's okay Mr. Evan, we've only been here for a short time. Spielberg and Haruta Asai stood up together.

Haruta Asai smiled and stretched out his hand and said, "Mr. Huo, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Yes, Mr. Asai, it's been a long time since I've seen you. "When Huo Yaowen went to Japan two years ago, Huo Yaowen was invited to visit Toho Club once, and he had a relationship with this Haruta Asai.

At this time, Wen Yingguang walked up to Huo Yaowen and introduced: "General manager, this is our director Steven Spielberg." ”

Because the two spoke in Chinese, although Spielberg didn't understand, seeing Huo Yaowen looking at himself, he also took the initiative to say: "Mr. Evan, I like your book "Jurassic Park" very much, and I thank you for giving me this opportunity to direct." ”

invited Spielberg to shoot "Jurassic Park", not because Huo Yaowen wanted the original director to shoot it, let alone on his own initiative. Last year, a thriller movie was released in the United States, with a global box office of $470 million, becoming the second highest box office in global film history, and this thriller movie is Spielberg's famous work "Jaws".

"Jaws" tells the story of a mutant shark attacking humans, and from another point of view, it can be regarded as a monster-based movie. So at the beginning of the year, after Huo Yaowen agreed to cooperate with Japan's Toho Co., Ltd. and the American Fox Film to shoot "Jurassic Park", Spielberg, who has experience in directing monster movies, became the focus of their attention.

After more than a month of negotiations, Fox and Toho decided to appoint him as the director of the film.

For most of the year, Spielberg did not conduct actor auditions, nor did he prepare for the crew, but has been making dinosaur prop models with all his might.

"Mr. Spielberg, I have seen your "Jaws", I have to say that it is a very wonderful movie, I like it very much, you can get this directing opportunity, or you yourself have this ability. Okay guys, let's sit down and talk. ”

Huo Yaowen waved his hand, and when the four of them sat down, he took the initiative to ask Spielberg how the prop model was made.

Spielberg said: "It's almost done, Mr. Evan, more than 100 kinds of dinosaurs that appear in your book, I have seen fossils in museums in various countries, and it took half a month, after the restoration of professional archaeologists, as well as the support of matrix special effects technology, I tried to achieve the most realistic effect of each model."

We made a total of 65 different dinosaur models, and although we didn't make all of them, they were enough for us to shoot this film. By the way, I've brought some photos with me, and I think you'll be very satisfied, Mr. Evan. ”

As he spoke, Spielberg took out a folder and handed it to Huo Yaowen.

In another time and space, "Jurassic Park" was filmed around 1993, when computer special effects technology was relatively developed, except for the prop models used in close-up shooting, most of the dinosaur running scenes in the movie used the most advanced digital technology.

Although Huo Yaowen's matrix digital special effects company has also made great breakthroughs and innovations in the field of computer special effects in the past two years, it can only make some of the simplest technologies due to the requirements of hardware, and the effect is not particularly good, so this "Jurassic Park" still uses the old method to make dinosaur props and models.

Different from the starships that only have the appearance of "1999", this batch of various dinosaur models, in addition to the reduced version, and the 1:1 restoration of the huge version of more than ten meters high, the interior of these dinosaur models is also installed with a lot of advanced technical devices, such as blinking, opening the mouth, raising the hand These actions can be done.

For this reason, it cost more than 10 million US dollars just to make this batch of models, which is still the result of saving as much as possible.
