In the 70s, after Hollywood encountered a development dilemma, it began to boldly try all kinds of strange and novel film concepts.

Props, makeup, imagination, computers, and other elements that can be tried have been included in the scope of experimentation by Hollywood directors.

Among them, "Star Wars" is undoubtedly the most important experimental work. Lucas founded Industrial Light & Magic Studios, thus ushering in the era of film special effects.

Hong Kong's Baolong Film Company, with the most mature and shocking computer CG special effects technology used in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", has also begun to be concerned by a large number of directors who have the courage to try new technologies.

Steven. Spielberg is also a director who is very interested in the special effects in "The Tang Dynasty".

After hearing that Baolong Film Company would also attend the Academy Awards, Spielberg began to inquire about the hotel where Zhang Shaojie was staying.

At this time, after meeting Zhang Shaojie himself, Steven. Spielberg began to ask him about many details of some special effects shots in "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", and Zhang Shaojie replied in great detail.

When Spielberg asked, "How far can CG special effects be done in the future?" ”

"Be able to bring dinosaurs back to life!" Zhang Shaojie said suddenly.

Spielberg was stunned and said, "Resurrect the dinosaurs? ”

Zhang Shaojie explained: "Of course, it is not the real sense of resurrection of dinosaurs. Instead, computer technology is used, which can make lifelike electronic dinosaurs on the computer, and programmers can complete some simulated actions with the dinosaurs. It can also create a group of dinosaurs in a long shot."

Spielberg said: "Dinosaur well, with lifelike dinosaurs, this is enough to become a gimmick for a movie!" ”

"Yes, the dinosaurs tens of millions of years ago were the dominant creatures on earth. Today, these creatures are extinct. Imagine, if one day these dinosaurs are resurrected and clash with humans, will it become a huge focus news? Zhang Shaojie said.

Spielberg was stunned: "Dinosaurs vs humans, how is it possible?" ”

"It's hard to do in reality, but you can make up these scenes in a movie!" Zhang Shaojie smiled, "I already have a creative plan for a movie about dinosaurs!" ”

Zhang Shaojie roughly talked about the plot of "Jurassic Park". Dr. Hammond, the owner of Isla Nubrail, extracted the dinosaur genes from the dinosaur blood of prehistoric mosquitoes condensed in amber and repaired the dinosaur genes in the laboratory. In addition, the dinosaurs, which were extinct more than 65 million years ago, were resurrected. Hammond is ambitious to breed dinosaurs in large numbers on the island to attract tourists.

A sudden storm paralyzed Nublar's power system and communication system. The staff on the island stole the dinosaur genes, as well as the park's power grid and protection system. A large number of dinosaurs broke out of the protective net and killed the employees and tourists in the park.

The remaining survivors of the island began to find a way to escape this terrifying area.

Zhang Shaojie has long intended to create "Jurassic Park", after all, Zhang Shaojie is ready to lay out "Infinite Horror" in the future, which needs to use a super blockbuster like "Jurassic Park".

If the copyright of "Jurassic Park" is in the hands of others, Zhang Shaojie will undoubtedly fall into passivity. Therefore, he had to get these ideas out in advance, so that the copyright could be controlled by himself.

"If the script is complete, I ask to be the director of this film!" Spielberg's heart was very moved.

Over the years, although Spielberg has made "Jaws", he is not satisfied, but hopes to make a movie that shocks the world even more.

Zhang Shaojie's description of "Jurassic Park" is just a big scene described in a few words, which has already made Spielberg excited. Dinosaurs, a mysterious creature that once existed on Earth, are vividly displayed in front of the audience, and the shock must be greater than that of sharks and aliens. Sharks are not unusual. Aliens can only be imagined in a vacuum.

Only dinosaurs that once existed on Earth, but have become extinct, leaving behind a bunch of mysteries, are likely to become a global sensation!

Therefore, he can't wait to express his stance and hopes to become the director of this movie.

"Hehe, it's a great honor for me that you're willing to be the director!" Zhang Shaojie said with a smile.

Zhang Shaojie unintentionally befriended Spielberg, and he had no intention of making a huge gain from coming to the United States at this time. Even if it is an Oscar, it is not comparable to the friendship with Spielberg.

You must know that before Cameron became popular, the strong man who repeatedly broke the world movie box office record was Spielberg! Historically, in 93, Spielberg's "Jurassic Park" grossed $914.7 million at the global box office, setting a new world box office record. It wasn't until "Titanic" in '97 that it broke the record for "Jurassic Park" with a total box office of $1.8 billion.

"Are you really planning to work with Spielberg?" Gu Long said, "That "Jurassic Park" sounds like it burns money like water, right? ”

Zhang Shaojie said: "Well, this is serious. However, consider that Jurassic Park will cost at least more than $100 million. When the time comes, you may need to co-produce with a Hollywood studio! ”

"Fit? Which company? Gu Long asked.

Zhang Shaojie said with a smile: "Universal Pictures, Spielberg and Universal have cooperated for many years, and it is easy to pull investment from Universal. When the time comes, I will personally invest in "Jurassic Park" with Universal Cooperation and Spielberg, and of course, most of the special effects orders needed in the movie will be Baolong Films! At that time, the large order of tens of millions of dollars is estimated to be enough for Baolong Film Special Effects Laboratory, from equipment to technical level, can take a big step forward! ”

For the next period of time, Spielberg often visited the hotel where everyone from Powerlong Film Company was staying.

Gradually, not only Zhang Shaojie, but also Gu Long, Tsui Hark, Cheng Xiaodong, Richard. Taylor and others have also become familiar with this great director.

And Spielberg also brought clear news - if the script of "Jurassic Park" is approved, Universal Pictures can contribute $50 million, and Spielberg himself can also contribute $50 million.

If Zhang Shaojie sells scripts, he can also sell them for a sky-high price of $3 million.

Of course, Zhang Shaojie's script is not for sale, but as a bargaining chip for cooperation. In this blockbuster, Zhang Shaojie participated in the project with a script and an investment of 20 million US dollars. only requires 15% of the box office dividends, but the adaptation copyright of "Jurassic Park" and the subsequent copyright belong to Zhang Shaojie.

These are just cooperation intentions, and the cooperation with Spielberg will not officially start until Zhang Shaojie's script is completed!

"Damn, he deserves to be the best director in Hollywood!" Richard. Taylor has communicated with Spielberg several times in the past few days, and he is also flattered by the risk of the big director.

"Come on, one day, you will also be the world's first-class special effects master!" Zhang Shaojie said casually.

"That's," Richard triumphant!

———————————— "The Legend of Double Dragons", which participated in the Oscars this time, is from the mysterious Asian Hong Kong region.

Although in the 70s, Bruce Lee's movies were once popular in Europe and the United States and achieved huge attention. However, the entertainment industry in the United States still feels quite mysterious and unfamiliar with Hong Kong movies.

When Zhang Shaojie, Gu Long, Lin Qingxia, Tsui Hark, Cheng Xiaodong, Richard. Taylor, Zhang Shuping, and a group of people got off a bus, which attracted the attention of many media.

Click, click, click

A large number of American media, as well as more Asian media reporters, have aimed their cameras at Baolong Film Company.

A CCTV reporter got to the front, struggled to hand the microphone to Zhang Shaojie, and said: "Mr. Zhang, I am a CCTV reporter, can I interview you?" ”

Zhang Shaojie said: "Yes, excuse me." ”

"At this moment, one billion viewers across the country are very concerned, and your "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" represents a Chinese-language film and has been nominated for an Oscar for the first time to participate in the award ceremony. For the 55th Academy Awards, do you have the confidence to represent Chinese films, stand out and win higher honors? "The reporter of CCTV is very fast.

Zhang Shaojie said: "I focus on participation, and I don't know about the award. However, being nominated for an Oscar is already a huge step forward. Even if we can't win the Oscar now. However, one day, Chinese films will win the Oscar with their strength! ”

Next, there was a question from Fuji TV reporter from Fuji TV, Fuji's reporter, in addition to asking some questions about the movie "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty", paid more attention to the schedule of the launch of the anime version of "Datang".

Zhang Shaojie replied: "The animation problem is the responsibility of Tokuma Bookstore, I don't know very well. However, the director of the anime, Hayao Miyazaki, is a very talented anime director, and the anime of "Datang" may become a classic! ”

Next, TVB reporters in Hong Kong and China Television reporters in Taiwan asked questions one after another

Zhang Shaojie knows that this time to participate in the Oscars, no matter whether it is won or lost, Baolong will be the most influential film company in Asia.

And Zhang Shaojie, with the cooperation between Spielberg, will also become the world's first-class cultural giant.

In the past, the Chinese-speaking cultural circle, even Jin Yong and Gu Long, lost their huge influence outside the Chinese-speaking cultural circle. And Zhang Shaojie is trying to become a cultural giant that influences the world and makes Chinese culture the mainstream culture of the world!
