Chapter 456: Dr. Walker

The USC School of Film and Television is the largest exporter of Hollywood film talent, and it is also one of USC's most prestigious schools.

On this day, outside the George Lucas school building at USC, surrounded by enthusiastic students, the water was overflowing.

The strength of the school police is not enough to maintain order on the scene, so USC specially applied to the Los Angeles Police Department for 200 police officers, a spectacular scene comparable to the Oscar red carpet show!

The world's youngest billionaire, the most legendary layman on Wall Street, the popular venture capital expert in Silicon Valley, and Hollywood's biggest business director, Donn Walker, is going to give a theoretical speech on commercial films here!

It is said that he will share the successful experience of some commercial blockbusters such as "Titanic", "Spider-Man", and "Unsinkable" and share it with all students and Hollywood colleagues.

This speech caused a sensation far more than USC.

The same is true for Hollywood!

The six major film giants all have executives at the top of the power to appear.

Amy Pascal, CEO of Columbia Pictures, Jim Garnopoulos, president of Twentieth Century Fox, Adam Goodman, director of production at Paramount, Alan Horn, president of Warner Bros., and Adam Ferguson, president of Universal Pictures, were all unveiled.

Disney is even more exaggerated, with Chairman Michael Eisner and President Robert Iger in attendance at the same time!

In addition, New Line Pictures, Lionsgate, Legendary Pictures, Pixar Studios, DreamWorks, MGM, Hollywood Pictures and many other companies have also sent executives to the scene to seek the truth.

As for Hollywood producers, directors, that's even more!

For example, Achewa Gosman, Stuart Baird, Lawrence Gordon and others are not well-known and unknown.

However, the appearance of top directors such as Ann Lee, Robert Zemeckis, James Cameron, Sam Mendes, and George Lucas still attracted a burst of restlessness on the scene.

This is a lecture on film theory, and there will be no popular actors and stars.

But these top Hollywood celebrities, their influence and fame are no worse than movie stars!

In particular, the appearance of George Lucas caused a riot, and the fanatical students on the scene showed their greatest enthusiasm, as if movie fans were chasing stars.

This school building is called the "George Lucas Building" and it was donated by him!

……

Don arrived early, and was in the office on the fourth floor, having a friendly conversation with Dean Sandy Daly and Vice Dean Alan Baker.

This was an academic lecture, and it was a very formal occasion, so the makeup artist dressed Don seriously and wore a pair of flat glasses, just to look more stable and mature.

Dean Dali is a lady who was a producer at MGM and an Emmy nomination before that, and she has expressed strong support for Donn's bombardment of the Golden Globes.

Not only that, Dean Dai Li also said with sincerity: "Mr. Walker, are you willing to accept the title of honorary doctor of the USC School of Film and Television?"

"Huh?" Don was slightly stunned, "Is this okay......?" You know, I didn't even graduate from high school. ”

Vice Dean Baker said with a smile: "Academic qualifications don't represent everything, and your achievements in the field of film are obvious to all." If you wish, we can even apply to the university to hire you as a visiting professor. ”

Tang En immediately waved his hand, "The professor is exempt, I am afraid of misleading people with this bit of ink." ”

Dean Dai Li said softly, "Mr. Walker doesn't have time to lecture, we understand. But you don't have to shirk the title of honorary doctorate, right? Just by exposing the inside story of the Golden Globe Awards, you have made an indelible and important contribution to American films, and you fully deserve this honor. ”

Of course Don was excited, Ph.D.!

Dr. Walker?

It's beautiful to think about!

Although it is only a false name, the United States is a meritocracy, and this false name is very important!

After thanking him again and again, Tang En suddenly asked, "By the way, Mrs. Dean, Mr. Vice Dean, ...... I've heard of IMAX technology, right?"

"Of course, that's a spectacular viewing mode, but there are too few sources. Dean Dai Li immediately responded.

"IMAX cameras are too heavy to shoot mainstream films. ”

Tang En smiled: "This situation, I'm afraid it's going to be gone forever." ”

"Oh?"

Dean Dai Li and Vice Dean Baker both showed a little excitement on their faces.

Both of them are academics and theoretical masters, so they can naturally see the potential of IMAX theaters.

Don didn't mind putting gold on his face, and said, "I've bought imax, and we're working on a DMR technology that can convert film taken with a regular camera or digital images shot with a digital camera into a copy of imax 70mm film. When the time comes, we can go to the IMAX cinema and watch real IMAX movies, instead of the documentaries of the past. ”

"Really?"

Vice Dean Baker was particularly agitated and a little unsettled.

Tang En smiled slightly, "This technology has been successful, hehe, you know, this summer, Tang Pictures will launch two commercial blockbusters, "Spider-Man 2" and "Pirate League: The Curse of the Black Pearl". "Spider-Man 2" has a tight schedule, but "Pirate League" is already in transition. When it is released in July, you can go to the IMAX theater and see the magnificent pirate ship. ”

Dean Dai Li gasped and muttered, "That must be very shocking!"

Vice Dean Baker said: "Yes, it is conceivable that the scene will already be very realistic, this ...... This is likely to be a new direction for special effects blockbusters!"

Don nodded, "Movies are developing in the direction of technology, and X technology is a general direction." Mr. Dean and Vice Dean, I know that the USC School of Film and Television has technical majors, but there must be a lack of exploration in the field of IMAX technology, so I plan to donate an IMAX Technology Building to help students understand the latest, most advanced, and most promising film technology. ”

Donating a teaching building to an American university is not like the Shaw Building, which costs millions of yuan to build, and the teaching equipment and high-end scientific research equipment inside also need to be provided by donors.

The George Lucas Building cost more than $100 million, and the Don Walker Building ...... It's a tech building, and it will cost more!

After the "911 incident", Town's account funds were as high as $9 billion, 7 billion was injected into Tangen Films, 500 million was invested in the Scott Swift Venture Capital Foundation, 500 million bought airplanes, built a mansion, 500 million completed the subscription of Apple's remaining shares, and there was still 500 million US dollars, which was enough to maintain Tang's daily expenses.

Even if another 150 million is donated, it will be more than enough.

The remaining funds of $350 million have an annual interest of $20 million, and Hasbro also pays dividends of $10 million to $30 million a year, which is enough to meet the daily expenses of so many women in Donn.

Of course, Donn's donation of a teaching building also has a deeper consideration.

On the one hand, he is grateful to the hospital for giving him the title of honorary doctorate, and on the other hand, it is also for the sake of the company's future development.

IMAX is Donn's!

Students study IMAX technology in school, where to work after graduation? The first choice is, of course, IMAX!

Use the school's teaching resources to train employees for yourself, don't make too much money in such a deal!

However, the two deans were still very excited, and they both stood up, shook hands with Don, and thanked them again and again.

USC is George Lucas's alma mater, and he deserves to make a donation.

But Don En is different, Don donations, more generosity.

"What a good young man!"

Don went downstairs to the auditorium to speak, and Dean Dali looked at his back and muttered to himself.

Vice President Baker exclaimed: "He is too young, so the media image is not very good. But his personality is definitely a role model for this generation of young people. After the 911 attacks, he donated $5 million in Los Angeles in the name of Down Pictures. Later, I went to New York and donated another $45 million in my own name!"

Dean Dai Li laughed and said, "Have you forgotten? He also donated $50 million at the box office of "Unsinkable" to help the victims relieve their mental pressure. ”

Vice Dean Baker patted his head, "He is only 24 years old, and he has donated more than 100 million US dollars to the society? God, with this teaching building, the total donation will exceed 200 million US dollars!"

Dean Dai Li pondered deeply for a while, "By the way, didn't he co-authored a book with someone else?"

"Yes, "Gone Girl", sold more than 6.5 million copies nationwide last year, and I heard that a movie is going to be made...... Do you want to?"

"Well, in addition to the Academy of Films, I think the Faculty of Arts also deserves to give him the honor of an honorary doctorate!"

……

Don took off his suit jacket, held a thermos cup in his hand, and walked up slowly.

The waist is straight, the step is calm, and there is a bit of a big entrepreneur's attitude.

The audience applauded thunderously!

Don was accustomed to this kind of thunderous applause.

In his opinion, he deserves so much applause!

He put the thermos cup on the podium, held the remote control pen, and simply debugged the PPT slide projected on the big screen behind him, and found that everything was normal.

Don took a deep breath and smiled at the filmmakers, teachers, students, and media reporters in the audience.

As if it had been discussed, the applause came to an abrupt end the moment Don turned to stand still.

"Hello everyone. ”

Applause again.

"Hello USC students!"

The applause was louder.

"I'm Done Walker. ”

The applause, like a tide, came again and again, like the sea.

……

James Cameron, George Lucas, Sam Mendes and others in the audience looked at each other.

Has the lecture started?

Is this a demonstration of the director's ability to control the scene?
