Chapter 518: Professor Wilson is an entrepreneur

Industrial Light & Magic was pocketed by Shengtang, and Liu Lang's heart finally let go, as long as it continues to develop step by step, then Industrial Light & Magic will truly transform into a special effects company that shocks the world in the future.

According to the development of the previous life, this point in time was five years later when Toy Story was born, this 3D animation completed entirely by computer special effects heralded the official arrival of the era of computer special effects, and then Industrial Light & Magic continued to consolidate its supremacy in special effects with an animated film every year.

But this life is different, the name of Industrial Light and Magic is no longer called Pixar, as for what name Liu Lang is thinking, of course it must have Chinese characteristics.

In addition, there is no need to wait until five years later, once the chip is made by Manga, the computer will be applied to ILM immediately, and all Toy Story, Finding Nemo, Incredibles, and Cars will all come out to me.

Not only these movies that originally belonged to Industrial Light and Magic, but also the blockbuster movies such as Ice Age, Crazy Primitives, etc., are all owned by Industrial Light and Magic, anyway, every detail of these movies is in Liu Lang's mind, and they will be produced as long as the technology is mature.

In short, according to Liu Lang's plan, in the future, the market of 3D animated films will occupy at least 60% of the share of Shengtang culture, as for the problem of money, the stock market crash that swept the United States in June will occur, and the Dow Jones index will leak 500 points in one day, such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity is enough to make his $1 million into tens of millions of dollars, with this money as a basis, all problems will be solved.

The addition of Shengtang gave Industrial Light & Magic a new impetus, and everyone put down their original work and began to make Transformers cartoons, you must know that there is no computer now, all the cartoons are drawn manually one by one, most of them are the same between each and slightly different according to the design action inside, and then shoot one by one, 24 pictures a second, and connect them to make a film.

So, a minute of cartoon to draw 1440 pieces, the workload of an episode is very amazing, if you follow the traditional way, a person can draw twenty pictures at most a day, fortunately, industrial light and magic has more advanced technology, many pictures with duplicate parts can be directly extracted, no need to repeat the painting, but even so, a person can only draw about a hundred pictures a day, there are ten people in the animation department, that is, the fastest can only draw about one minute of animation plot every day, an episode of animation takes twenty minutes, three months to draw five episodes is good。

After dealing with the matter on the side of Industrial Light and Magic, Liu Lang took Sun Mingren and Sun Hu on the plane and went straight to Harvard University.

Liu Lang went to Harvard University not to inspect the school, but to see Professor Wilson, who is an economics expert at Harvard Business School and a researcher of American economic policy.

Los Angeles is located on the west coast of the United States, and Harvard University is located in the Boston area on the east coast, the two places are located in the southwest and northeast corners of the United States, separated by 5,000 kilometers, and the plane flew for nearly six hours before slowly landing.

In March, Los Angeles was already warm, but Boston was still blowing cold winds, which was about the same as the temperature in Northeast China.

"Professor Wilson was thoughtful and sent someone to pick up the plane!"

Liu Lang walked over with two people.

The other party was a twenty-four-five-year-old Chinese, who was looking around, and when he saw a child with two adults coming over, he immediately greeted him, and then asked in very jerky Mandarin, "Are you Liu Lang?"

"That's right, I'm the one you're waiting for!"

Liu Lang replied in English, and the other party's Mandarin was too awkward, and it sounded very difficult.

"Hello, I'm Professor Wilson's student named Louis Wang, and I'm here to pick you up as the professor instructed!"

When the other party heard Liu Lang's fluent English, he immediately replied in English.

"Okay, let's go!"

This Louis immediately helped a few people put their luggage in a jeep and drove to Harvard University himself.

Along the way, Liu Lang chatted with this young man, and learned that the other party's ancestral home is in Sichuan Province, his parents came to the United States when they were in their twenties, and he is teaching at a university in the United States.

In the chat, Liu Lang also learned some information about Professor Wilson, each college of American universities has its own industry, which can independently provide operational services to the society, such as the National Economic Policy Research Institute under the School of Economics of Harvard University. The Institute of Market Economy and several other institutions, in addition to Professor Wilson's own enterprises, an economic book publishing company and a research center for large companies to provide economic trends, Liu Lang's book on the tertiary industry wave was planned and distributed by the publishing company owned by Professor Wilson.

"This Professor Wilson is still an entrepreneur! I'm afraid he's a millionaire too!"

Liu Lang asked with a smile.

"Hehe, not only is he a millionaire, Professor He is an expert in providing economic policies for the country, every year many large companies come to him to provide consulting services for their industrial situation, and the price of each consulting report is hundreds of thousands of dollars, he has long been a multimillionaire!"

The other party replied with a smile.

Liu Lang nodded, in fact, this method is also very common in Chinese universities a few decades later, for example, if a company wants to prepare a feasibility report or development plan, then it needs to find relevant professionals, and if you want to be cheaper, you will go to a qualification agency in the society to compile it, but if you want to get a more professional, you need to find a qualification agency of a business card university.

For example, when Liu Lang's construction company wanted to engage in a good project, the boss hoped that the project could become a local landmark, such an architectural design ordinary design institute could not be completed, and finally found the School of Architecture of Huaxia University, and spent millions of yuan to come up with a very beautiful design plan, although in the end the project was not implemented because of the cost, but the plan of Huaxia University is still commendable.

Of course, this kind of work is not something that can be done by any university, at least you have to have excellent talents and teams, plus qualifications, in order to gain social recognition, otherwise even if you make a company and no one asks you to do it, it will be in vain.

As a well-known economist in the United States, Professor Wilson certainly has unique conditions, his knowledge is the greatest capital, and his subordinates are like clouds, so he can usually receive work.
