"Cause...... Because your eyes are blind......" Xu Zhen looked at Wu Wei with disdain and said in his somewhat stuttering tone, ordinary people are not too sensitive to the feel and appearance of industrial products, but for an artist like Xu Zhen, the lines and design of this mobile phone have reached what he thinks is relatively perfect.
This is not to say how perfect the process of the data is, but on the basis of the design of the mold line, it achieves the ultimate beauty of a golden ratio separation line.
Such an industrial product, in the same shape, the same structure, the same size, the same number of buttons, but can produce millions of forms, any part of a few millimeters of scale to give people the difference is huge, and in these millions of forms there is a perfect matching scheme.
When this perfect scheme is reached, any designer will find that any slight change he makes to the object will make this extreme beauty disappear, and it will not change a single point at all, which is the so-called relative perfection of design.
To do this, it must go through countless repeated revisions and thinking before there is any hope to achieve it, but Li Xiaole seems to just use his spare time to make this thing by thinking about it, which is really unbelievable, Xu Zhen has also been amazed by Li Xiaole's ability before, but there has never been a time when he feels so shocked as today.
He suddenly had a feeling that Li Xiaole was a naturally outstanding artist, and God gave him an unparalleled talent, no matter what he did, he would do it to a stunning height......
"I'll give it a try......" Li Xiaole looked at Xu Zhen and marveled at himself for a long time, and couldn't help but take the mobile phone from Wu Wei's hand, touch it carefully, and play with it on the phone, but frowned: "It's still a little bit worse in terms of feel...... The feeling of this back is a little less delicate, but forget it...... That should be enough. ”
Hearing Li Xiaole's evaluation, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and finally carried this view over...... This perverted director didn't even say that he was good enough, his perfectionism was too much, right......
"To ...... If only the items in the movie were as good as this phone...... texture, then the texture of our movie may be improved by a notch...... Grade. Xu Zhen said excitedly, with a sense of happiness in his heart that a craftsman made a perfect work.
"yes, there are 26 more products, one product takes a week, and we can complete all the items in 26 weeks." Wu Wei laughed self-deprecatingly, this matter seemed ridiculous from the beginning......
"Lao Wu, don't sigh, don't worry, we don't need to make anything else, just make this one." Li Xiaole put his arm around Wu Wei's shoulders and smiled.
"No...... Don't do it!? What about the movie!? Xu Zhen let out a strange cry excitedly, and it was neatly spoken.
"We went to Apple and asked them to provide us with the product." Li Xiaole pursed his lips and said, since Jihua started filming "Life Remote Control", he never thought about making those high-tech machines by himself.
Of course, he knew that it was very dangerous to shoot these sci-fi plots in the movie, and in the original version of "Life Remote Control", because of the rough production and low quality of the props in these future scenes, it greatly affected the realism of the movie.
Of course, it's not that the original Columbian production team didn't want to do this detail, but they simply didn't have the ability to make these, and you must know that these design futuristic technology environments are very few production teams that even in Hollywood have the ability to control.
Those cutting-edge technology designs are not something that can be exchanged for millions of dollars, and no matter how much money you spend, you can only make some mobile phones that look very reluctant, and the really impressive technology equipment that appeared in science fiction movies in the past are all provided by American technology companies or institutions, such as the machines in George Lucas's "Star Wars" series, all of which are discarded technological inventions that he bought from his partner Microsoft and experimented with in real life.
Spielberg, the famous director who is obsessed with alien genius, has shot various alien movies with equipment that is installed by several extreme technology companies under NASA.
Most of the amazing future devices that appear in these science and technology movies are development failures, or real products that are being developed, so they can be completely in line with the logic of science and technology, and they are so convincing on the big screen, which is also the most basic reason why American science fiction movies can be unique.
In China, in the 90s, some ignorant directors threw out the idea that "as long as enough money is invested, China can make sci-fi and disaster blockbusters like the United States." "At that time, it was also greatly recognized by the industry, which was actually a complete dream.
In science fiction and any other genre of film that involves the future era, Hollywood is the only film factory that can grasp the theme, because California is backed by San Francisco's Silicon Valley high-tech industry chain, and has the most creative tech talent and cutting-edge companies in all of Shijie.
Only the technological prowess of Silicon Valley can turn the almost absurd technological shijie described in the movie into a truly convincing reality, and even make science fiction movies a real predictor of the future.
If other countries want to make movies involving future science fiction, they can only be reduced to nondescript like "Future Police" and "Wesley Blue Bloods" in Hong Kong movies......
Li Xiaole knows this truth very well, so as early as the beginning of preparing to shoot "Life Remote Control", he did not plan to make those movie props by himself at all, his goal is very simple, to find Shijie's most scientific and technological strength and creative spirit of the enterprise - Apple, for cooperation.
"Apple...... Apple ......!? Xu Zhen's mouth opened wide in surprise, and all the people in the props team also had the same expression, and the room instantly fell silent.
"Don't joke, Director Li ......" Wu Wei, who has been in the digital industry for more than 20 years, stayed for a long time before reluctantly laughing: "How can a company as big as Apple cooperate with a small film company like ours......"
"Not necessarily...... Or...... Maybe we have a chance. Xu Zhen's eyes widened when he suddenly realized something.
"Don't be naïve, Jobs is indeed interested in movies, but he bought Pixar back then, and our United States is completely a leather bag company...... "Wu Wei certainly knows what Xu Zhen is thinking, Apple's president Jobs is a recognized genius designer in the film industry, technology industry, and even the digital industry, and he is very interested in the film industry, but his vision and temper are as high as his talent, and it is impossible for Apple to support United States.
In the eyes of Wu Wei, who is engaged in digital jishu, Jobs is a god-like noble existence like Bill Gates, and although Li Xiaole is also very good, it is not only a star and a half worse than Jobs.
"I've made an appointment with Apple's investment department, we'll go to San Francisco today, we should be there in the afternoon, and you two should talk with me too." Li Xiaole looked at his watch, and then asked him to carefully put the molded phone in his bag.
Wu Wei and Xu Zhen are both stupid, this Director Li really doesn't think about it casually, everything has been arranged, do you want to meet Steve Jobs...... Oh, my God......
"Quick...... Let's go, not to see Beyoncé...... Joe...... Jobs was just a big man. Xu Zhen patted Wu Wei's shoulder and teased.
Wu Wei originally wanted to fight back, but when he saw the sweat left by Xu Zhen on his shoulder, he was also happy, this Korean guy was more nervous than him.
It took six hours to get to No. 1 Infinity Road in Cupertino, San Francisco, and the scenery along the way was very refreshing, which eased the tension of Wu Wei and Xu Zhen a lot.
Li Xiaole just enjoyed the scenery along the road, and didn't feel any apprehension at all, Xu Zhen and Wu Wei's reactions he could fully understand, although Apple has not yet released the Iphone that changed shijie, but after the return of Jobs, Apple has dominated the shijie walkman market with iPod, plus it is still the only competitor of Microsoft in the personal computer industry, it can be said that it is one of the top technology companies in shijie, and he wants to cooperate with this kind of company, which sounds like a fantasy to others.
However, as soon as the three of them stepped into the Apple headquarters building, Wu Wei and Xu Zhen's emotions began to be anxious again.
Looking at the 4 apple trees planted in the hall that symbolize the prosperity of the apple formula, the huge white glass that looks up delicately carved the IPOD icon, the 128 iPods under the glass of the promotional display table in the hall are playing various MV pictures, the left hand side of the corridor is a one-to-one humanoid poster of the Beatles, and the walls are hung with black and white photos of various scientific and technological people, and the two have an inferiority complex in their hearts.
That's not because the clothes they wear are not brand-named, or they drive a broken car and have a sense of frustration in wealth, but because they feel the elegance of the culture and technology that Apple conveys to them, which makes those who do jishu feel that the gap is too big, and they are inevitably a little ashamed of themselves.
Li Xiaole also took a few deep breaths before puffing up his chest and questioning at the reception, and the handsome white guy in a suit at the front desk politely led them to the office of the investment department.
As he walked through the corridor of the atrium, he happened to see a dinner concert at Apple's headquarters, and from a distance, he saw a white man in his 40s with a microphone singing a country ballad.
"Is that Tim Cook......" Wu Wei couldn't help but ask the handsome guy who received them.
"yes, Tim always shows his hands at dinner concerts whenever he has time, and to be honest, he doesn't have a good voice haha." The handsome white guy teased with a smile.
