Chapter 55: George Lucas and ILM

Li Zetian said with a smile: "Risks and opportunities coexist! Sometimes, the greater the risk, the greater the gain! Don't worry, invest in the case of not affecting the normal operation of Apple!"

Tian Shuai nodded: "Well, that's good! Then I'll help you contact George Lucas as soon as possible!"

"Okay!" Li Zetian nodded in response. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Tian Shuai said hello and left Li Zetian's office.

Li Zetian was thinking in his heart at this time that "Star Wars" was released in 1977, and in 1975, George Lucas should have begun to prepare for this movie......

……

……

Hollywood.

George Lucas was puzzled by a phone call from someone claiming to be the CEO of Apple. He has heard a little about Apple, which is a personal computer company that has been in the limelight recently. It's just surprising that the other party actually said that he wanted to invest in the movie he prepared, and asked himself to go to Apple's headquarters for a detailed discussion!

"Although it's strange why a computer company wants to invest in movies, it doesn't matter, since the other party is willing to invest, then I'll go over and !!"

George Lucas has just finished his second draft screenplay, titled The Adventures of Star Slayer. At this moment, he took out the script from the drawer, and then went to the printer to make a copy, ready to take it to Apple so that they could see it so that they could invest in their film.

In fact, George Lucas has approached several studios in the hope that they will invest in his films, but has been repeatedly rejected. This time Apple came to the door, and for him, it was like a sudden dawn in the night! To be honest, George Lucas was both nervous and excited right now. After he had finished making copies of the script, he carefully bound it with a stapler.

"Hopefully this time it will work!" he said to himself, looking in the mirror.

The next morning, George Lucas flew to San Jose.

Hollywood and San Jose are both in California, and two hours later, George Lucas is at Apple's headquarters.

In the chairman's office, George Lucas met Li Zetian.

"Hello, Director George Lucas, my founder and chairman of Apple - Chronos Li!" Li Zetian introduced with a smile.

George Lucas was shocked that the chairman of Apple was actually a teenager, and he was also a Chinese!

"Hello, Mr.Li, it's a pleasure to meet you, I didn't expect you to create Apple at such a young age!!"

"Oh, thank you for the compliment!Oh, by the way, Director Lucas, do you want to drink water, or coffee? Of course, we have apple juice here!" Li Zetian said with a smile.

"How can you go to Apple without apple juice?" quipped George Lucas.

"Hehe, let's have a glass of juice!"

Li Zetian personally poured him a cup.

George Lucas said "thank you" and asked curiously: "Mr.li, Apple is a computer high-tech company, why is it named Apple, it is easy to mistake people for a fruit company!"

Li Zetian replied: "Oh, I didn't think much about it at the time, I just happened to be eating apples, so I named it Apple......

When George Lucas heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and it was so hasty to choose a name for the establishment of the company......

Li Zetian looked at George Lucas's surprised expression and couldn't help laughing: "Just kidding! The reason why Apple named Apple is not because someone said that one day, Newton was sleeping under an apple tree and was suddenly hit on the head by an apple, and then he came up with the law of gravitation. Therefore, the meaning of Apple is science and technology, and at the same time, it also has the meaning of commemorating Newton, a great scientist! If you look at Apple's logo, is it that Apple has been bitten? This is like the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden, which makes people unable to extricate themselves, and finally can't help but take a bite, so it symbolizes Apple's products so that our users can't extricate themselves!!

"I see, it feels so profound!" said George Lucas.

Li Zetian laughed secretly in his heart, in fact, this is all nonsense...... He named the company Apple because of the Apple company in his previous life.

"Okay, Director Lucas, let's get down to business!"

Li Zetian sat down and asked, "I heard that you plan to shoot a science fiction movie?"

"Yes, Mr.Li, I've already brought the script, you can take a look!" George Lucas said as he took out the script and handed it to Li Zetian.

Li Zetian took the script, read it roughly for a while, and said: "The script is no problem, you give me a general introduction, how do you plan to shoot this movie!"

George Lucas organized the language and said: "In addition to the regular shooting, I plan to use a lot of computer special effects in this film, and through the most advanced high-tech and digital production methods, I want to create a space world that has never been seen before!"

"Director George Lucas, this is very expensive, and there are no successful examples to refer to, presumably no company is willing to invest in this movie!" Li Zetian frowned and pretended to say, because he couldn't be too eager, otherwise it would not be so easy to negotiate the conditions later.

When George Lucas heard Li Zetian say this, he thought that the investment thing was out of action again, and he felt a little lost, but he still nodded and admitted: "Yes, I have been to many film companies, but there are no companies willing to invest so far." ”

Li Zetian looked pensive and did not speak. In his office, George Lucas looked at him nervously.

Time passes, and for George Lucas, every second is an ordeal.

A minute later, Li Zetian spoke, and he said slowly: "I thought about it for a while, and it is not impossible to invest in this movie......

When George Lucas heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed that someone was finally going to invest in his film.

"Mr.Li, thank you very much!"

"Don't be in a hurry to thank you first, I haven't completely decided whether to vote or not!"

Still undecided?

George Lucas's heart tightened, and it was like riding a roller coaster.

Li Zetian continued to ask: "Has the computer special effects team been formed?"

George Lucas shook his head, "Not yet, but I've reached out to the experts in computer special effects and am ready to invite them to join!"

Damn, Industrial Light & Magic hasn't been established yet, so isn't this an opportunity for me to intervene???

Li Zetian was slightly excited in his heart, but his face was silent, and there was no wave.

"Apple is a high-tech computer company, so it's particularly interested in computer special effects. In this way, Apple will work with you to set up this computer special effects team, what do you think?!" Li Zetian said slowly, his eyes secretly focused on George Lucas's expression, once the other party agreed, Industrial Light & Magic was in hand, in the previous life, the famous Pixar Animation Studio was actually just the computer animation department of Industrial Light & Magic before it was sold to Jobs!

Of course, ILM is inseparable from George Lucas, who has developed ILM into the world's top special effects company.

"I think ......"

Jingle Bell !!

Just then, the phone rang suddenly, interrupting George Lucas.
