Chapter 888: UCLA
September 18th, afternoon.
The last shot of the live-action part of "The Avengers", the protagonist is Robert Downey Jr.
This shot was not originally in Don's plan.
Here's the advice of Robert Downey Jr.
Through a true story, he convinced Donn to add this shot.
Now Robert Downey Jr. has quit drugs. (In fact, it is maintained with alternative medicines)
In fact, in April last year, he often participated in various "poison parties" and carnivals with various fox friends and dog friends.
That time, Robert Downey Jr. was driving his Maybach sports car with a lot of drugs in the trunk, intending to have fun with his friends.
Passing by a gas station, he was a little hungry, so he went to the convenience store at the gas station and bought a burger.
It just so happened that the TV at the gas station was playing a speech by Donn.
At that time, because Tang En was going to shoot "The Departed", he accumulated acting experience through practical investigations, participated in an "anti-drug" operation, and was commended by the Los Angeles Police Department for his brave and righteous performance, and awarded him the title of "Honorary Policeman".
“…… If a person can control his body freely, not be manipulated by desires, not be controlled by evil thoughts, and insist on doing the right thing and taking the right path, this is the greatest success! I sincerely hope that Hollywood artists can purify themselves and become pure and successful actors!"
“…… Celebrities have a lot of appeal and influence, and what they do will deeply affect some young people. I hope that Hollywood stars can self-discipline, set an example, and become role models!"
On the TV, Donne's speech stunned Robert Downey Jr. and greatly touched the value of his life.
Then, while eating the hamburger, he felt a wave of discomfort that he had never felt before.
I want to vomit, but I can't.
Vomiting in the chest.
That feeling of paleness and powerlessness, Robert Downey Jr., understood, was a sequelae of drug addiction.
The blows of two events in a row made him finally firm up his belief in drug rehabilitation.
Then he drove the car to the beach and threw all the drugs into the sea.
Since then, start anew!
Then, good luck came, and he got Donn's approval, giving him the opportunity to take on "Iron Man".
Both career and life have ushered in a big turnaround.
Of course, such a story can't be completely copied into the movie.
It would be nice to have a hint.
Don arranges for Robert Downey Jr. to go to the gas station to buy a burger, and then sees the news on TV about "Spider-Man" saving civilians.
Robert Downey Jr. shrugged his shoulders and said to himself, "Where did Spider-Man come from?
Between the words, there is a lot of disdain.
This also laid the groundwork for the later Avengers with "Iron Man" as the core and refusing to join "Spider-Man". It also left clues for the plot of "Iron Man" who saved "Iron Man" falling from the sky in the final battle.
The rocker arm was raised high, giving a large panoramic view from mid-air, and Robert Downey Jr. wore a pair of sunglasses, full of rich boy style, and walked into the convenience store.
Robert Downey Jr.'s acting skills are undoubted, and he is the best acting actor among these superheroes of the Avengers.
Such an additional drama is not difficult in terms of performance.
"No problem!"
Don watched Robert Downey Jr.'s performance through the monitor and watched the replay again to make sure there was nothing wrong with his performance. I asked about the other groups, and there were no questions.
Tang En breathed a long sigh of relief, with an excited laugh on his face, stood up, and shouted loudly at the entire crew: "Now I announce that the live-action filming part of "The Avengers" is officially completed! Guys, now, give you a year off, and we'll see you next summer!"
"Wow!"
The whole scene erupted in enthusiastic cheers.
The staff of each group also began to applaud, and a large number of people were hugging.
They all know it in their hearts.
Don't look at what Don said, we'll see you again next summer. However, next year's shooting plan is green screen shooting, and there is no need for such a huge crew.
More than 80% of the crew, after completing the live shooting, is equivalent to saying goodbye to the "Avengers" crew completely.
……
During the filming of "The Avengers", Donn was a bit out of touch with Hollywood.
However, Hollywood has always been without his legend.
If the cooperation between MPAA and the Korean Film Promotion Council still belongs to a higher-level dimension, then the standardized process of film and television special effects production proposed by him is completely popular.
In particular, the new word "Previz" seems to be the hottest word in Hollywood at the moment.
In view of Donn's outstanding contributions to film theory, the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) specially extended an invitation to him: "Dear Mr. Donn Walker, in view of your outstanding achievements in film art and theory, as well as your great social influence, after discussion with the School Board and the School Board, the University has decided to award you an honorary doctorate in media arts and practical philosophy!"
Truth be told, over the past few years, Donn has received honorary doctorates from no less than 20 universities around the world. As for the many honorary masters and honorary bachelors...... Don would be "modest" and politely refused.
Most of them are to rub Donn's popularity.
Private universities always have to find a way to make ends meet.
UCLA is different, this honorary doctorate title is very valuable!
There are two major film schools in Hollywood, one is USC and the other is UCLA, and the two are in competition with each other.
Previously, Don won the honorary doctorate title of USC because of the explosive theory.
As a competitor, UCLA certainly can't afford to play stinky feet when USC has taken the lead.
Now, here's your chance!
Donn's second great film theory has appeared again, following the "hit theory", his "special effects theory" can also bring a deafening feeling to Hollywood!
This time, UCLA is one step ahead!
For Donn, he will become an honorary doctorate from the two top film institutions at USC and UCLA, which is a great honor for a filmmaker.
For a businessman, it doesn't matter.
Even...... On the contrary, it is cumbersome.
When Don received his honorary doctorate from USC, he donated $100 million to USC to build an IMAX academic building.
This time, I went to receive an honorary doctorate from UCLA, and I had to donate a lot of money.
After completing the acquisition of Liverpool and buying three top players, Down Capital was left with $50 million. Another 15% stake in Tesla would cost another $30 million.
Only $20 million remained, which was far from enough.
However, this donation must be in the name of New Global.
Financially, USC has a lot of money with large donations from George Lucas, Robert Zemeckis, Steven Spielberg and others. Their students, when it comes to using cinematic equipment, are up to date.
Although UCLA is known as the "cradle of Hollywood masters", masters like Francis Coppola and Martin Scorsese really don't have much money. Most of the equipment used by the students here is donated by Twentieth Century Fox, Universal Pictures, Disney and other companies, and it is all second-hand equipment that has been decommissioned.
Such conditions have led to the indignation of UCLA students.
New Globe took the lead and made huge donations.
At least you can keep an incense burning.
Back then, Don spent a huge amount of money to donate an IMAX teaching building at USC, and two years later, he has already seen the return. Although the college students have not yet graduated, there are many more high-achieving students from USC who come to IMAX for internships than before.
In particular, many of them are students who specialize in IMAX technology. In the future direction of their business, it is very likely that they can only choose IMAX.
This kind of long-term strategic planning is so important!
Talent is the core resource.
Don donated an IMAX academic building at USC, and of course he couldn't favor one over the other. At UCLA, make a difference, too!
He's already figured it out.
Donate a "Dolby Building"!
