The team of Industrial Light & Magic, at the request of Zhang Shaojie.

George. Lucas organized 10 animation special effects technicians, 15 computer CG special effects teams, and finally some ordinary post-production personnel.

These special effects teams, in George. In Lucas's eyes, it was extremely deformed. At least at this time, Zhang Shaojie only needs 2 people related to the strength of industrial light and magic - model special effects and so on.

"You're such a science admirer!" George. Lucas said.

Zhang Shaojie smiled: "Science and technology are the primary productive forces!" ”

The list of the team, most people, Zhang Shaojie is not impressed, but-"Richard. Taylor" attracted the attention of Zhang Shaojie, a special effects master, known as the "world's first" special effects studio, one of the founders of Weta special effects studio!

This man, in the 90s, was also a friend of the famous director Peter . Jackson co-opted, betrayed ILM, and founded Weta Studios.

Weta Digital Studios, a terrible mess, started a business for Peter. Jackson's "Angel of Sin" did CG special effects and won a certain popularity. Then, Weta Digital Studio made special effects for "The Lord of the Rings Trilogy", so that the entire industry realized that Weta Studio's strength is not inferior to Industrial Light and Magic.

And blockbusters such as "Van Helsing", "X-Men", and "King Kong" are also special effects made by Weta Studios. Cameron's "Avatar" hired more than 40 special effects companies to do special effects, of which Weta Studio won more than 6% of special effects orders!

Since then, many film companies have realized that Industrial Light and Magic is outdated, and the most awesome special effects studio is already "Veta"!

Zhang Shaojie looked at Richard meaningfully. Taylor, thinking to himself: "This brother, he only changed jobs in the 90s?" It's too condescending! ”

Richard. Taylor appeared on the list, and Zhang Shaojie couldn't help but have the idea of digging into the wall.

Originally, when he came to the United States this time, Zhang Shaojie also wanted to invest in "The Terminator" and promote James. Cameron or something!

However, looking at the shriveled wallet, Zhang Shaojie was melancholy

Just as "the incense burner produces purple smoke, Li Bai came to the roast duck restaurant." The saliva is 3,000 feet, but unfortunately there is no money in the pocket. "General melancholy.

James. Cameron's "Terminator" is a $6.5 million investment and a big $80 million box office. Although Zhang Shaojie knows that Cameron's domineering does not need to be explained, the problem is that he still can't afford Cameron.

Even Hollywood movie giants, if they don't pay attention, they will be in tears by the pit of a money-burning monster like Cameron. What's more, it's Zhang Shaojie now?

Cameron has always fooled those film companies, and the budget he said was never true. If Cameron said that the budget was 50 million, the budget of 50 million might be spent and only a small part of the movie was made, and if the investors didn't want to invest in the previous and lost all their money, they could only continue to pay for Cameron to finish filming, and the final budget would be even hundreds of millions of dollars!

This kind of king of cheats, every film investor, is terrified, for fear that his capital chain will be because of James. Cameron is making a movie while breaking.

However, the miracle is that Cameron's movies, although when they were filming, they burned money like water, but after the movie was released, it always showed the domineering spirit of the king - "Terminator 1" released in 1984 invested 6.5 million US dollars, and finally the global box office was 80 million US dollars.

"Alien 2", released in 1986, invested $18.5 million and earned $180 million at the box office.

1989's "Abyss" had an investment of 70 million yuan and a box office of 110 million US dollars, although it was a bit small, but the sale of video tapes, as well as TV broadcast rights, etc., also recovered the cost.

In 1991, the investment of $120 million in "Terminator 2", investors and Cameron were ready to lose money, but it was a $520 million box office and a big profit!

In 1994, Cameron's "True Lies" invested $110 million and $365 million at the global box office, but this movie was the first blockbuster that caused a stir in the Chinese film industry for a Hollywood film!

In the early 90s, when China's regular cinemas began to implement the cinema system and the dividend system, when the total box office of the cinema system was only 700 million, "True Lies" won 102 million yuan at the box office in Chinese mainland, accounting for one-seventh of the total box office of Chinese cinemas that year. For the first time, a Chinese director realized what a blockbuster is!

In 1998, Cameron's "Titanic", with an investment of 200 million US dollars, not only swept the box office of 1.8 billion US dollars worldwide, but also refreshed the box office record of the cinema chain after the implementation of the box office system in China - 360 million yuan box office! This box office record was not broken until after 2009 by blockbusters such as "The Founding of the People's Republic of China", "Transformers", and "2012".

By 2010, Cameron once again set a new record in global box office history with a total investment of $500 million and a global box office of $3 billion in "Avatar". Of course, in China, "Avatar" also broke the box office record of Chinese cinemas with a record of 1.35 billion yuan.

It can be said that Cameron is a super monster!

He set the total box office records in most countries around the world! All directors can only be speechless again and again for his strength.

By the time of "Avatar", film critics had already used another translation of "Avatar" - the coming of the gods to describe Cameron.

In the film industry, directors are arrogant and pretentious. However, when film critics called Cameron the "King of Movies" and "King of Directors" and other laurels, surprisingly 99% of directors lost their voices!

For Cameron's perversion, Zhang Shaojie, even if he is a reborn, deeply feels awe.

Most of the world's big directors, as well as film companies, want to create another director as strong as Cameron.

But all along, Cameron has never been imitated, never surpassed!

If it is said that commercial hype can produce "Harry Potter" and "Transformers", Zhang Shaojie is understandable.

But the same cost, the same publicity, that is, no director can reach the level of Cameron, this kind of irreproducibility completely explains what it means to be a king and domineering.

This kind of dignified and majestic director.

It is countless times more powerful than those directors who play with creativity, hype, and gimmicks!

Because, regardless of the gains and losses, the blockbuster made by burning money can be the king and hegemon, and convince the opponent of defeat.

Other "Harry Potter", "Transformers", and superheroes mostly rely on the large popularity and word-of-mouth accumulated in novels and comic book versions to get big hits every time they are released.

However, Cameron's movies did not use the popularity brought by novels and comic book adaptations!

In fact, the box office appeal of Cameron alone has surpassed the popularity brought to movies by any super popular novel or comic book in the future!

―――――――――― San Francisco. Aerodrome.

The team of 5 members of ILM, including Richard Brown. Five special effects masters, including Taylor, boarded the plane with Zhang Shaojie and Gu Long and went to Hong Kong first.

When they went to Hong Kong, they first had to set up a special effects studio that was simpler than industrial light and magic, and cooperate with "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" to do special effects.

For the time being, you can buy some computer equipment, as well as animation equipment. The equipment needed later will be purchased by Industrial Light & Magic!

With the progress of "The Legend of Double Dragons of the Tang Dynasty" and the initial availability of the Hong Kong studio, 47 people from Industrial Light & Magic will be sent to join the special effects production in Hong Kong.

"See you in Hong Kong in October, Teresa Teng!" Zhang Shaojie waved his hand.

Teresa Teng smiled sweetly and said, "Goodbye, Zhang Shaojie!" See you in October, when the time comes, you must go to my Hong Kong concert! ”

Zhang Shaojie nodded, a little expectant: "Definitely!" I will definitely go! ”

Starting in October, Teresa Teng will perform at the "Lincoln Center" concert in New York, USA, which has been a great success and has been highly praised by the European and American music circles. After Teresa Teng's successful singing in the United States, she returned to Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places to tour.

With her return. People have forgotten the negative comments about Teresa Teng's 79-year fake passport incident.

In the following years, Teresa Teng, who re-entered the market, became popular and approached the front-line music superstar. Later, in the music scene, Chinese singers basically did not reach the height of Teresa Teng's popularity.

However, throughout the 80s, Teresa Teng was banned in Chinese mainland, and Teresa Teng's songs at that time were mostly some early rock singers, listening to Teresa Teng's songs on the radio. Write down lyrics, tunes, and sing them on the streets, in bars, etc. After the 90s, Teresa Teng's songs were no longer "glamorous sounds" and could be released on records in China. However, soon after, Teresa Teng died of illness while singing in Thailand.

I have to say, this is a big pity.

If Teresa Teng takes better care of herself, for example, when she is still healthy, she often goes to the hospital for check-ups, and prevention is the king!

With the airport radio informing that the plane is about to take off.

Zhang Shaojie boarded the plane with everyone.

Teresa Teng under the plane, still with a sweet smile, kept waving goodbye.

Zhang Shaojie couldn't hear Teresa Teng shouting, but his heart was full of her shadows. Especially her singing, like having a record player, is constantly replaying and echoing in Zhang Shaojie's mind.

Sweet.

I love good wine and coffee

Zhang Shaojie's heart was turbulent, and he muttered: "Goodbye, Teresa Teng, see you in Hong Kong in a few months!" ”
