The President's powers of special authorization are wide-ranging and include not only amnesty for prisoners, but also concessions for non-compliant conduct.

In fact, not only was Tanis Belbin's special grant of American citizenship, but some time ago, Donn also encountered such an incident.

Although "Mulan" is the majority of the Chinese investment, it is essentially a Hollywood blockbuster filmed in China.

The filming team and shooting equipment are arranged according to Hollywood's first-rate standards.

This story is based on the war between the Central Plains Dynasty and the northern nomads, and it will take a very magnificent battle scene.

Such a scene must be photographed by the air.

In the past, when filming "Hero", Lao Mouzi's team also used aerial photography, but it was the most basic and primitive aerial photography method - the cameraman carried the camera and sat on the helicopter to shoot......

This method has high cost, poor efficiency and high risk factor. Letting the photographer, an aviation layman, sit at the door of the helicopter and carry the camera to shoot, under the fright, will greatly increase the difficulty of shooting.

Moreover, there is also a problem of scheduling and communication, this kind of large-scale shooting cannot be done in one go, and over and over again, how to arrange the helicopter and photographer in the sky?

These are all questions.

Hollywood has the best aerial photography solutions in the world, and the Super Bowl, the opening ceremony of the Olympic Games, and the live broadcast of major events are all based on Hollywood's aerial photography solutions.

Bundled direct shooting of HD cameras and helicopters!

In other words, the high-definition camera is fixed on the helicopter through fixed equipment. Then, through the satellite signal, it interacts with the receiving tower on the ground, so that the photographer on the ground can control the lens direction of the camera on the aircraft through the engineer, and choose the shooting angle, so as to complete the magnificent aerial photography.

For example, the opening ceremony of the Athens Olympics last year used such aerial photography technology to create a very shocking opening ceremony of the Centennial Olympic Games.

Today's world's grand ceremonies, live events, concerts, and Hollywood blockbusters are basically using this aerial photography method.

However, this is only limited to mainstream countries such as Europe and the United States.

For China, there is a technological blockade.

There are no technical barriers to the transmission and reception of satellite signals.

However, fixing a high-definition camera on a helicopter and allowing the camera lens to change angles is a very sophisticated industrial technology, which is much more high-end than the industrial technology of ballpoint pen refills.

Although this is only a civilian solution, it is also strictly forbidden to open it to China, Russia, North Korea, Iran and other countries, in case they learn it and use it in the military field. During the honeymoon period between China and Japan in the 80s, Japan sold civilian submarine propellers to China, which greatly improved the noise reduction level of Chinese submarines.

As a result, Japan was severely sanctioned by the United States.

I want to bring this set of aerial photography equipment to China...... It's not easy.

Donn even spoke specifically with President George W. Bush on the phone.

"Mulan" is just a commercial movie, and the significance is indeed not too great. However, in 2008, China is going to host the Olympic Games, and when the time comes, no matter how technical blockade you have, you will have to make concessions to the Olympic Committee, and you must lend this set of equipment to the Chinese side for live aerial photography of the opening ceremony.

The act of leaking secrets by spies, of course, Don did not dare to do.

However, this set of advanced aerial photography equipment can indeed enhance the great ornamentation and shock of the large-scale war scenes of "Mulan".

Take a look at the war scenes in Lord of the Rings and Heroes. "Heroes" uses more actors and more props, and the effect that can be shot is no different from that of a rocker shot, which is far less shocking than the aerial shooting of "The Lord of the Rings".

After some approval, the president specially approved and allowed the crew of "Mulan" to transport a set of aerial photography equipment to China for use.

However, the equipment must be supervised by a permanent staff member in the crew at all times, and the Ministry of Justice will also send a staff member to accompany it. The daily job of these two people is to take care of this set of equipment!

The equipment was on the plane, and they got on the plane.

The equipment got off the plane, and they got off the plane.

In the evening, they had to arrange the most upscale hotel for the two of them, and they lived in it with this set of aerial photography equipment.

That is, high vigilance 24 hours a day.

All expenses are borne by the crew of "Mulan".

There is no way to do it, and Don can only agree. The situation in the world is like this, and he can't change it.

Interestingly, the Korean producer from China Film in "Mulan" contacted the military directly and found a military helicopter, equipped with two military pilots, with extremely high quality, as long as two meals and refueling, he can fly in the sky for 15 hours a day!

It will greatly meet the filming requirements of the crew.

It's just a movie, and why the military came forward is unknown. Is it that the Korean producer is well-connected and can help the crew enjoy free military services? Or is the military really interested, and what is there in it?

Anyway, the staff of the Federation did not make any reaction, and the crew of "Mulan" was certainly happy to see it.

In comparison, Tanis Belbin's citizenship grant was too easy.

Without even reporting to the president, the White House staff replied with the message, saying that the matter was in the interests of the United States and would promote the development of sports in the United States, and the president would soon give an answer.

……

Don returned to Los Angeles for the world premiere of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith.

He was the director of the first part of the Star Wars Prequel trilogy.

In addition, the heroine Natalie is busy with her graduation thesis and graduation defense, and she can't find time to come back to promote, so Don can only take over and help with some promotion.

But even so, George Lucas was not satisfied, and he did not give Done a good face at all.

The heroine is not coming back?

An actress who dares to make such a big decision?

At first glance, it was Donn's instigation!

"Ahem, George, I'm here in person, what else do you want? Could it be that my box office appeal is not as good as Nat?" Don was ashamed, and his face was sneering.

Natalie is violating the actor's contract if she doesn't come back to promote the movie.

If it weren't for Donn's face, Lucasfilm could have even filed a lawsuit.

George Lucas snorted coldly, "I don't care if you come or not, I just want my heroine!"

Don rolled his eyes, "George, that's not interesting, you know she's very busy with her studies right now, and the professors in Israel are all old and stubborn. If the defense does not pass, it will be more troublesome. ”

"Donne, are you taking it for an idiot?" said George Lucas's old face.

Don scratched his head, smiled, lowered his voice, and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, George, how did I hear that...... You're going to rebuild the animation department?"

George Lucas's eyes widened, "You have a lot of information." ”

Donn frowned, "George, I remember discussing this with you many years ago, Lucasfilm and Pixar are the same family. There's really no need for you to start Lucasfilm Animation anymore. ”

George Lucas disagreed, and said: "Since the release of "Star Wars Episode 2: Attack of the Clones" in 2002, I have thought about it. You know the story of the prequel trilogy very well, from "Attack of the Clones" to "Revenge of the Sith", there was a 3-year hiatus during this period. What happened in the past three years, and how Anakin and the rest of the Jedi resisted the invasion of the Federation of Independent Systems? These are the gaps that are missing in the film. ”

Don certainly understands that.

The limited length of the film, coupled with many commercial market considerations, forced the creators to abandon many of the original elaborate ideas. These wonderful clips can be filled by derivative cartoons.

However, cartoons ...... Can you make a quality spec that meets Star Wars standards?

George Lucas was going to make animated series, not animated films.

Compared with animated films, the production of cartoons must be "shoddy"!

Tang En said in a deep voice, "George, I can understand your feelings. The plot of the Star Wars Prequel trilogy...... There has been a lot of controversy, and the nature of commercial movies doesn't allow you to show too much of the Star Wars story in your heart, and you want to fill these gaps with cartoons. But I think the 'Star Wars' brand is more important than filling in the gaps. It's a high-end brand that can't be tarnished with shoddy cartoons. ”

"Shoddy? I don't think so. ”

George Lucas was deeply unimpressed.

He now has money and status.

The most important thing I want is fame.

How to improve your reputation?

Of course, it is to tell the story of "Star Wars" more perfectly and higher. As for whether the way of telling the story will make money, he doesn't care much anymore.

In the previous life, Lucasfilm had an ambitious plan to release 7 seasons of "Star Wars" cartoons, telling the story of the three years between "Star Wars Prequel 2" and "Star Wars Prequel 3".

George Lucas wants to tell this story to perfection.

In fact, he did.

Compared with movies, the plot of cartoons is more introverted and profound, reflecting the style, attitude, ideals and spirit of "Star Wars" to the fullest, and more character-centered.

However, the commercial market has failed completely.

Even Lucasfilm's partner, Twentieth Century Fox, refused to broadcast it!

This is a cartoon, not an animated movie with the exquisite connotation of DreamWorks and Pixar, and adults are not interested in watching it at all.

Let the children see it?

I'm sorry, but the plot is too deep, and the vague dialogue and political flavor are simply incomprehensible to children.

In the end, there was no way, George Lucas promised in a high-profile manner that whoever takes over the cartoon will get the distribution rights if the cartoon is adapted into a live-action film in the future!

Even so, many TV channels still refuse to broadcast.

Because George Lucas is very demanding, cartoons must be broadcast in prime time, not cut, no random editing, and no ads......

In the end, it was Warner's Cartoon Channel that took over.

In those years, Disney Channel replaced Cartoon Channel as the children's channel with the largest number of users in the United States.

After Disney acquired Lucasfilm, the first thing it did was to cut the series! Just set up a special feature on Lucasfilm's official website, and told fans all the follow-up plots with words and pictures.

Because of this incident, the angry George Lucas directly withdrew from the production of the new "Star Wars" trilogy.

Donn has ambitions for Lucasfilm and the Star Wars brand.

The "Star Wars" cartoon is simply destroying the brand's market expectations and fan cohesion.

I don't know if I can stop him. ()
