Chapter 765: The Next Movie of Industrial Light and Magic
"Xiaohu, you're here, our buddies are together again!"
Ye Jinsheng held Mu Xiaohu's hand very kindly.
"Brother Ye!"
Mu Xiaohu was also very happy to see Ye Jinsheng.
Ye Jinsheng and Mu Xiaohu are barely friends in the world, but in China, Ye Jinsheng can't get to each other, after all, his father has died, and there is no one in the Ye family in the officialdom, and the relationship between the two can only be nodding friends, and in the United States, Ye Jinsheng has become Mu Xiaohu's backer.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this gentleman is one of the founders of our Shengtang Company, Mr. Mu Xiaohu......... Everyone must know him, but few people have seen him, but without him, Shengtang Company would not exist, and I may not have the opportunity to work with everyone, so his contribution to Shengtang Company is huge!"
Liu Lang first affirmed Mu Xiaohu's merits, which also established a certain prestige for Mu Xiaohu.
Liu Lang spoke in English, and Ye Jinsheng on the side whispered to Mu Xiaohu as a translator.
"Liu, don't worry, Mu is the founder of our company, and we will cooperate happily in the future!"
Lucas, of course, knew the severity, and took the lead in showing his attitude.
"George, don't worry, Mu will not be in charge of specific affairs in the company, and you, Brother Lin and Brother Ye are still responsible for business matters!"
Liu Lang gave the other party a reassurance.
After introducing Mu Xiaohu, a group of people began to discuss the company's affairs, the movie "Die Hard" has been completed, and the rest is the post-production, the post-production of this kind of large-scale film is very important, and the thrilling feeling must be expressed, but the current manufacturing level of industrial light and magic is not what it used to be, and I believe that the movie "Die Hard" is even more exciting than in the previous life.
This year's work of the Shengtang company is very perfect, the "American Voice" talent show, a few songs and a movie have made the Shengtang company the most popular entertainment company in the United States, and the limelight has completely overshadowed those old companies, but this is just the beginning, next year the Shengtang company will make persistent efforts, even more than this year, and now there are five songs on the project, as well as the cartoon "Toy Story".
After nearly two years, the production of "Toy Story" is nearing completion, the world's first stereoscopic animated film is expected to be officially released in three months, this project is the key project of the Shengtang company next year, the box office may not be as much as the other songs, but the impact on the whole world is undoubtedly huge.
In addition to these projects, Liu Lang also gave Lucas a script, that is, "Schindler's List" that he talked about with Spielberg before, this movie has of course become a work of Shengtang Company in this life, no matter who directs, the investor must be Shengtang Company, Lucas didn't like it too much after reading this script, of course, Liu Lang didn't want him to be the director, this is Spielberg's masterpiece.
"George, this script is handed over to Steve, he is Jewish himself, he is very familiar with this history, I believe he will not refuse, and I am sure that this film will definitely win the favor of the Oscars!"
In the previous life, this film won seven awards at the 66th Academy Awards in 1994, including the two most important awards for Best Picture and Best Director, and the global box office reached 360 million US dollars.
"Okay, no problem, but Liu, you can't favor one over the other, you write a script for Steve, what about me? Die Hard This movie is very good, but it will never be in the eyes of the Oscars, when will you write a script for me, let me also taste the taste of the Oscars!"
Seeing that Liu Lang wrote a script for Spielberg, Lucas was a little "jealous".
"Well, George, let's do it, I'll write you a script next year, as long as you can handle it well, I believe the Oscars will have a place for you!"
Liu Lang thought for a while and said.
"Next year? It's just January, so don't I have to wait a year?"
"George, a year is a fleeting time, besides, you won't be idle this year, "Toy Story" is almost finished, and then our second animated film will start preparation, I am ready to make an animated film every two to three years in the future!"
Liu Lang's script for Lucas is the famous "Forrest Gump", this movie won six Oscars in 95, and has a box office of 630 million US dollars worldwide, compared with "Schindler's List", and the plot of this movie is much lighter, not as serious as "Schindler's List", Lucas should be able to control it, but Liu Lang is not too relieved, what if such a classic film makes Lucas smash it?
He doesn't have much time this year, he will return to China in half a year, and he will definitely be busy for a while, and next year may be a little easier, so he can give on-site guidance.
As for Sheng Tang's second animated film Liu Lang also thought about it, that is, "Finding Nemo", this movie was also very popular in the previous life, and it won a box office of 900 million US dollars worldwide, which is a classic in 3D animated films.
Mu Xiaohu watched Liu Lang "instruct the country" from the side, even the Americans had to be obedient, and he was completely impressed by his momentum.
Liu Lang stayed in Los Angeles for a few days, discussed the storyline of "Finding Nemo" with Lucas, Chengxian and others, and then drew the character design drawings by himself, no, not character design drawings, there are basically no humans in this movie, just a group of fish on the bottom of the sea.
The main character is a clownfish named "Nemo", the plot is very simple, Nemo runs away from home in order to prove that he is a "man", and his father has gone through a lot of trouble to find his son across the Pacific Ocean, and both clownfish have found what they are looking for in the search.
The plot is very simple, but the process is bizarre and thrilling, and the magnificent underwater world and wonderful underwater creatures are like a beautiful picture unfolding in front of human eyes.
When Liu Lang told everyone the storyline, everyone was interested, and they all agreed that the protagonists with their own characteristics in Liu Lang's mouth were too distinctive.
The first is the main character, Nemo, an orange clownfish with stripes, who has a mischievous and tenacious personality, especially an adventurous person, like today's young people.
Then there is Nemo's father, Marin, who is timid and cowardly by nature, who lost his dear wife and all his children except Nemo in a shark attack, and has since become more cautious, but loves his son even more, which is a portrayal of all fathers.
The son wants to go out on an adventure, but the father is frightened by the danger, but when the son runs away from home, he resolutely embarks on a dangerous journey, and he would rather sacrifice himself for the sake of his son, this design has both strong conflict and resonance with the audience, and the relationship between father and son is also a big problem in the United States.
In addition to these two protagonists, the other supporting roles are even more amazing.
A female blue kingfish named Dolly, she is enthusiastic and optimistic, but she is a forgetful chatterbox, taking Marlin to find her son, but often taking the wrong way, making too many jokes on the way, and is the first funny person in the movie.
There is also a great white shark named Bruce, but it is a vegetarian carnivore who often does unexpected things, which is the second funniest role.
There is also a peculiar pelican named Nigel, who has a crush on any species except seagulls, and shows off his skills when he escapes from seagulls with Nemo, and a bird plays a large flock of seagulls, this part of "gull mouth escape" is definitely a highlight in the movie.
In addition, there is a angelfish named Ji Ge, this fish is a bit of a triad boss, hates humans, originally from the sea, has a scar on his face, and has a crippled right fin, as if he has experienced a lot of hardships, lives in the dentist's fish tank, longs for the free sea, teaches Nemo a lot of truths, and finally escapes from heaven and returns to the sea with several fish brothers and shrimp brothers in the fish tank.
