Catherine Deneuve and Kelly Fisher.

Well, Huo Yaowen is actually not very satisfied with these two candidates, to be honest, if it was in the 80s and 90s, there were too many familiar Hollywood actresses, but now, I really don't know a few, he couldn't help but look at George Lucas, "Which one do you think you should choose?"

“……”

Lucas hesitated for a few seconds and said, "I'm more optimistic about Kelly Fisher, she's very young, and she fits the girl in the play who is trying to contact the Alpha civilization. ”

In terms of age, Kelly Fisher is indeed very advantageous, after all, she is only 17 years old at this time, 13 years younger than Catherine Deneuve, and looks a little baby fat, but full of collagen, it is still very good, at least it looks a lot better than a few years later.

But the heroine of "1999" has a lot of roles, and Catherine Deneuve, as a veteran actress in Hollywood, naturally has enough acting skills, on the other hand, Kelly Fisher may not be very good, although the other party has two years of experience in stage performances.

"Then Kelly Fisher, you're the director, and you think she can, then she can. ”

Huo Yaowen doesn't care much about who the heroine is, anyway, this movie is more about special effects than beautiful heroines.

At the mention of special effects, he asked again, "By the way, Lucas, how is the props team arranged?"

"It's not ideal, I'm going to look outside to see if there are people who are proficient in this area. Lucas shook his head, the props department of Fox was too old, and their thinking seemed to be stuck in the last century! Even with the rudimentary manuscript provided by Huo Yaowen, they could not restore a more realistic model of a space battleship.

The era of American special effects blockbusters should be regarded as the year of "Star Wars", and the Industrial Light & Magic formed by Lucas for the filming of Star Wars has almost become synonymous with Hollywood special effects.

Thinking of this, Huo Yaowen touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and said: "That's Lucas, in order to better shoot "1999", I will personally invest one million dollars to set up a special effects props company, and then let people look for talents in this area, of course, if you have any good candidates, you can also recommend them, so it will also help your shooting." ”

"Of course it's no problem!" Lucas's eyes lit up when he heard that Huo Yaowen was going to pay for the establishment of a special effects props company, he was now worried about how to simulate the picture of the space war, and now he has an eyebrow!

After the two chatted for another half an hour, after George Lucas left, Huo Yaowen called Wen Yingguang and Coverdale David, asking them to come to their room and tell them about the establishment of a special effects props company.

Wen Yingguang and Davide don't really understand what the special effects of the movie are, but Huo Yaowen also said very clearly, that is, looking for talents in the United States who are proficient in computers, makeup, model making, prop making, and so on.

There are many people who are proficient in makeup, model making, and prop making, but there are very few people who are proficient in computers. The most terrifying thing is that although there was already a prototype of a microcomputer at this time, the high price and extremely difficult operation discouraged many people.

If it's just that the price is high, or there are few people who are proficient in computers, the most troublesome thing is that personal computers have not yet been launched, and almost all of them are contracted by some universities and research institutes, and Huo Yaowen has nowhere to buy them if he wants to.

Looking at computer special effects didn't work, Huo Yaowen had to take Ultraman's special effects route, and decided to let "1999" use models to complete the few special effects scenes in the script.

originally planned to stay in the United States for two days and return to Hong Kong, but because of this, Huo Yaowen's return to Hong Kong was delayed, and it was delayed until the end of June, and he stayed in the United States for a month before he set up a special effects props production company.

The name of the new company is Matrix Digital Effects, which is based on the virtual world in his previous book Second World. As for the employees of the new company, there are no computer proficient personnel for the time being, and most of them are proficient in model making, architectural design, mechanical design, and makeup.

Although it is a company, there are only special effects departments and finance departments at present, and the financial director is temporarily concurrently served by Davide, and it just so happens that he has to cooperate with Wen Yingguang to supervise the flow of funds in "1999", and it is OK to be a financial director by the way.

As for the person to be the head of the special effects department, a middle-aged man named Needham Williams, whose job has almost nothing to do with the movie, is a docent of dinosaur fossils at the Los Angeles Museum of Natural History.

After years of boring work, Williams was bored with work, but he also liked model making, especially dinosaur models, he studied almost all the dinosaur fossil bones excavated in the United States, and made dozens of dinosaur models at home.

So as soon as the company's recruitment advertisement was sent out, this person immediately came to the interview, and brought a lot of dinosaur models that he had carefully made!

Huo Yaowen didn't ask the other party according to the previous interview process, and made a decision on the spot to let him join the matrix digital special effects.

Because these dinosaur models were so realistic, Huo Yaowen thought of another gold-absorbing weapon "Jurassic Park" in later generations!

After another two days, seeing that the matrix company was ready, and George Lucas often came here to discuss film production with these three-rate talents, Huo Yaowen breathed a sigh of relief, and finally didn't have to continue to spend energy on this movie.

It just so happened that Luo Cheng had successfully negotiated the purchase of the newspaper, and next week someone would come from Hong Kong to officially take over the Los Angeles Morning Post, and he was ready to fly back to Hong Kong the next morning.

But before he could do it again, he had to wait for Williams to send something.

……

Early the next morning.

When Huo Yaowen was about to pack up and go to Los Angeles International Airport with Luo Cheng, Williams hurriedly drove over, holding a thick stack of magazines and newspapers in his hand, "BOSS, this is the dinosaur fossil data that I have collected over the years from major professional institutions in the United States, and some ecological fantasies about the dinosaur period. ”

"Thank you, William. Huo Yaowen took these weeklies and newspapers, stuffed them into his suitcase, and said with a smile: "I will leave the cooperation between the special effects department and the crew of "1999" to you." ”

Williams patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, boss, I just discussed the first version of the spaceship model with Lucas yesterday, and I am now sketching the drawings." ”

"Your model-making skills are the best I've seen so far, and I'm not worried about that at all. ”

Almost none of this batch of special effects personnel are in charge, Huo Yaowen had to be a short general, and temporarily appointed Williams as the director, but to be honest, the special effects department at this time does not have too strict rules and regulations, and he doesn't have the time to formulate them now, so he had to hand it over to Davide and ask him to contact the headhunting company to poach another manager.

After chatting a few more words, Mark also rushed over, Huo Yaowen saw that the time was not early, so he said goodbye to Williams, took his suitcase and went to Los Angeles International Airport with Luo Cheng and Mark, ready to take the plane back to Hong Kong at ten o'clock in the morning.
