Chapter 308

"I would never have guessed? Are you sure? Chen Tian raised his eyebrows and looked at Ivanka. Trump.

Ivanka is not shy about it, full of confidence: "Of course, I'm pretty sure, if you guessed, you can make a request?" ”

"One request, anything?"

Chen Tian's gaze rose with a strong oppression, Ivanka dodged for a moment, and then stubbornly met it: "As long as you dare, I'm not afraid!" ”

"Well, you win." Chen Tian shrugged helplessly, and Ivanka couldn't help but smile, but a small loss flashed in her heart.

Chen Tian didn't notice the change in Ivanka: "Is it Kennametal Optics or NewDealStudio?" ”

Kennametal Optics is a miniature company, but until a year ago they were part of Lucas's ILM.

Industrial Light & Magic was developed by Star Wars director George W. Founded in 1975, Lucas also provided visual effects for the first Star Wars film.

And for nearly three decades, Industrial Light & Magic has long been synonymous with cinematic magic.

Nowadays, the only company that can PK with ILM is Peter. Jackson's Weta Digital.

Weta Digital is the consensus of the special effects of "The Lord of the Rings", but in fact, the current Weta Digital cannot compete with Industrial Light and Magic.

However, the special effects shots in Chen Tian's "Raid" invited Weta Digital, and Chen Tian, the Kowloon Walled City model in the film, did not use the extremely extensive CG computer special effects technology that is now used, but chose a relatively traditional miniature model technology.

Compared with computer CG technology, miniatures are becoming less and less common. It's not the mainstream of the film world anymore.

However, compared to the computer special effects, the effect shot by BG animation is more realistic. This is the fundamental reason why computer CG cannot completely replace the miniature.

Whether it is the current "Lord of the Rings" or the later "King Kong". Even the super blockbuster "Avatar" that swept the world, their success is attributed to the miniature.

Especially now that Kennametal team is looking for an incredible 3D instant model technology, it is perfectly used in these Avatars.

Since entering the 21st century, more and more special effects for film and television works have shifted from miniatures to the computer CG market.

After all, CG special effects are more convenient and relatively cost-effective.

This directly leads to the plight of the miniatures, which the Kennametal team was a major part of ILM, a Hollywood special effects company, and they were responsible for the miniatures.

However, the Kennametal team, which left ILM, did not go well. The whole team is also looking for a new direction, trying to find out how to use the old model technology to develop new 3D stereoscopic technology.

Others don't know, but Chen Tian, who is familiar with Hollywood film technology, knows it well.

The Kennametal team's relatively advanced technical ideas at the moment have made the Kennametal team invest a lot of money and manpower, but they can't see the benefits, and now they can't make ends meet and are in debt.

In the future, 3D films will be the mainstream of the market, although it is not like that yet.

But except for Chen Tian, Kenna's team at the moment is just an estimate, and they don't know how long they will wait to get through the predicament.

It is in this situation that they choose to look for investments to alleviate the company's debt pressure and better research.

They collaborated with Chen Tian on "The Raid". In "Raid", the scene of Kowloon Village at that time was restored very realistically.

It is very positive and directly gives the audience a clear understanding of what kind of scene Kowloon Zhai, the miracle of Hong Kong that circulates in the Western world.

And Kennametal Optics did it perfectly. Let the audience feel the original Kowloon Village.

It was the perfection of this cooperation that gave Chen Tian the idea to use the name of the company or his own name to acquire Kenna, which was struggling to hold on to the predicament.

Chen Tian believes that no matter how technology develops, the miniature model will not be completely thrown away in a short period of time, let alone a successful case of a super blockbuster like "Avatar".

Chen Tian has always liked to present the most realistic scenes to the audience, and miniature model technology has become some of the best choices.

NewDealStudio is also a small company with such miniatures, but they are slightly better off than Kennametal is living in.

After Chen Tian had a goal, he entrusted the matter to the Ellison siblings and Ivanka.

So at this moment, Chen Tian naturally thought of this matter, if this matter really succeeded, he would definitely be extremely grateful to Ivanka.

After all, after the success, Miramax Films and DreamWorks Animation, so that the three companies can form a whole, and they can also complete a film with maximum effect without relying on other companies.

There is no need to be limited by people, this is an important reason why Chen Tian wants to take advantage of the trend to acquire Kennametal Optics, and another reason is that if Kennametal Optics is acquired, the price is far less than that of DreamWorks Animation.

In Chen Tian's view, the acquisition of Kennameko Optics can be completed with 50 million yuan, and the debt of Kennametal Optics will not exceed 100 million US dollars.

If it was a year ago, Chen Tian, who was just starting out, would never have thought about such a thing, and would never have considered it, and he would not even dare to have such a mind so early.

But now there is a huge gap between Chen Tian and a year ago, and there has been an absolute improvement in both ability and strength.

And Chen Tian's perspective has also become different, from a director who only needs to think about the big and small things of a film, to becoming the head of a company.

Even if there are many things, other people can do it for them, Chen Tian also knows the importance of delegating power, but the premise is that he himself must understand.

Delegate power on the basis of understanding, and then think about the overall situation yourself, not just the production of a two-film film to the shooting and then distribution.

Even without acquiring Kennametal Optics and DreamWorks, Chen Tian is confident that Miramax will gain a foothold in the fiercely competitive Hollywood and make a name for himself.

But Chen Tian wants not only to stand firm and become famous, he hopes to make Miramax another giant in Hollywood, and even send Miramax to the first position in Hollywood in ten or twenty years.

Then DreamWorks and Kennavision Optics have become very important, but at this moment, Ivanka doesn't know that Chen Tian thinks so much and thinks so far.

"Are you waiting for my answer? I sue you not!

Unfortunately, you're still a long way from what you asked. Ivanka smiled lightly, and the curvature of the corners of her mouth was very seductive.

"Not? Then I can't think of it, as long as you don't sue me, you miss me, so just come here. Chen Tian joked.

"Do you dare to come?" Ivanka greeted Chen Tian with a provocative look.

"Ivanka, you should know how much attraction you have to men."

"Humph!" Ivanka snorted coldly, "I'm here for one thing, the Forbes President's dinner invitation." ”

"Forbes dinner invite?"

Chen Tian couldn't have imagined that Ivanka came because Forbes invited him, and he never thought about such a thing.

"Don't you know how popular you are, not just for movies, but also for investors and entrepreneurs.

If you're willing to accept investment, you know for sure.

Forbes will launch this year's Fortune List on October 10th, and then they'll have a dinner party on the evening of October 10th, and they've invited you.

I was going to call you and send you an invitation, but I knew that I was neighbors with you, and then it turned out to be me running an errand and they would send you an invitation in the near future.

Do you have time? It was a high-end dinner party that would be attended by a lot of people, such as Bill. Gates, Steve. Jobs, Larry. Ellison: A whole bunch of things you can imagine. ”

Chen Tian is not a fool, although he is a filmmaker, his identity is somewhat different now, and after contacting these people, there may be some places to ask for help, and connections are a wealth that cannot be measured by money.

"I can't think of any reason not to go." Chen Tian shrugged, "Do you want a glass of water?" ”

"I also know that you won't be so stupid, bring me a glass of red wine, go back to sleep after drinking, I'm not a literary and artistic worker like you!" Ivanka leaned back on the couch and stretched her waist.

The beautiful scenery with bumps and bumps is on display, but unfortunately Chen Tian has turned around and walked away and can't see it.

"Red wine for beauty, Mannie also likes to drink, there should be a good one, I don't understand these at all, do you want to pick one yourself?"

Chen Tian opened the wine cabinet, his knowledge of red wine was limited to brands, and many of them he had never heard of at all, but at the moment it looked no worse than what he had heard.

"Justin, you're a director, how could you not know that this will disappoint your fans." Ivanka stood up with a smile and walked towards Chen Tian.

In the wine cabinet in front of Chen Tian, there were rows of wine, and a bottle of brand red wine that Chen Tian had never heard of was placed on the iron wine rack below the wine cabinet.

Chen Tian knew that this bottle of wine was prepared by Scarlett, but before he could drink it, Scarlett left early.

If Scarlett was here, she would definitely not let Ivanka take this bottle of wine, but unfortunately Chen Tian and Ivanka didn't know. (To be continued......)
