Chapter 142 is the spice of life
Indeed, he was blind in vain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On a certain website, some good boutiques have the potential to be transformed into film and television works, and the potential should be good. However, in the domestic film and television industry of Daxia, it is difficult to make the effect described in the text of the work.
First, the technology of film and television production in Daxia is not up to par.
But in fact, the second is the main reason - I want to make money, but I am not willing to invest, and I am afraid of losing money!
For example, Zhou Yu is optimistic about several novels, one of which is written about the Zhuxia mythological system. The splendid myths of Zhuxia, every god, man, fairy and demon, and every mythological story can be shot independently to make a super blockbuster, such as Kuafu's sun, such as Houyi's sun, and so on! Corresponding to Hollywood's hero blockbusters!
But filming a movie with a mythological system has too high requirements for special effects. And computer special effects, in a word, burn money!
Hollywood's special effects blockbusters often cost a large part of the investment budget with only a few special effects production. is like those superhero films, in fact, there are not many special effects scenes, and their investment is in the hundreds of millions, or American knives.
You must know that if a Hollywood superhero blockbuster is really filmed according to the setting in the comics, three or two hundred million is not enough to burn.
Not to mention the more complex system of Zhuxia mythology.
Those mysterious and mysterious magic powers, what heavenly way, law, what magic weapon, treasure, realm and the like, if you really want to get out, then the investment will be big!
Billion? Billion?
Zhou Yu couldn't guess.
And there's almost no guarantee of a return on investment!
Sell and buy at a loss.
There is only Zhou Yu, I am afraid that he has this mind and can do such a thankless thing regardless of the cost.
However, Zhou Yu has this capital, and he is willful.
Thinking of buying a website, Zhou Yu contacted the movie special effects again, and couldn't help but say: "Now the best special effects team in Hollywood is still Industrial Light & Magic?" ”
"What do you think, dear?"
"Industrial Light & Magic..."
"Want to buy it again?" Tina chuckled.
"If possible." Zhou Yu did not deny it, and said: "Who is the leader of this special effects team now?" Or rather, to which one does it belong? ”
"Disney." Tina replied.
"Disney... I'm also a member of the California consortium, my own people. Zhou Yu's mind turned, and he said, "So, talk to them?" ”
"It's okay to cooperate, but if the Disney family wants to sell ILM, I'm afraid it's unlikely." Tina said: "When Disney bought ILM, including its owner, Lucasfilm, for 4 billion US dollars, the valuation of ILM at that time accounted for 60% of it. The current word..."
"You know, money is not an issue." Zhou Yu said: "Let Claire talk to Disney, if it doesn't work, it's okay to cooperate first." However, Paramount must have its own special effects team, after all, there will be many movies in the future. Buy off-the-shelf or new, baby, you're the president of CAMC, what do you think? ”
"But you're my man." Tina said, "What do you think?" ”
Zhou Yu laughed.
Tina hooked Zhou Yu's neck, sat on his lap, and said, "Actually, Paramount also had its own special effects team before. At that time, it was Paramount who paid Michael Bay to buy the digital realm. Over the years, however, the digital space has changed hands several times, and a few years ago it was declared bankrupt. Its core industry has been sold to a media company in Daxia. ”
"Bought by Daxia's company?" Zhou Yu couldn't help but be stunned: "But I haven't seen the special effects of Daxia's movie, what is the breakthrough?" ”
"You know, when a team is broken up and the best of it leaves, what's left in the shell?" Tina explained.
"Uh... That's the truth. Zhou Yu frowned: "So in addition to the digital field, what else?" ”
"Weta Digital." Tina rolled her eyes and said, "You should know its founder - Peter Jackson." ”
"Is that him?" Zhou Yu's eyes lit up: "It's him!" ”
Tina kissed Zhou Yu hard: "I knew you would say that." And," she chuckled, "the special effects collaborator for this film is Weta Digital, which is one of the conditions for inviting Peter." So, the cooperation with ILM is just talking. ”
"Is there such a truth in it?" Only then did Zhou Yu know that inviting Peter as an assistant director also involved this condition.
nodded: "Okay, Weta Digital is Weta Digital." ”
"Actually, Weta Digital is not bad," Tina said, "Avatar's special effects, they did it." Actually, I love the Loch Ness Monster movie the most, they made that monster no different than it really is. Otherwise, I wouldn't have made Claire agree to this condition. ”
"As long as the technology is passed, I don't care about the rest." Zhou Yu said, and said: "Paramount must have a special effects team, industrial light and magic is still in the first place, if Disney is not willing to let go, then Weta Digital." If you can, two together! ”
After making this decision, Zhou Yu said again: "In addition, let Claire prepare to contact a certain website and take down this website as soon as possible." ”
...
Whether it is a movie or an acquisition of a website, in fact, for Zhou Yu, it is just a spice in life. The farm is the foundation.
Without a farm, everything is closed.
Although he usually pays attention to the filming process of the film and the progress of the acquisition of the website, Zhou Yu spends most of his time on the farm and never leaves.
But Anji didn't come back, Qu Jing and Fang Tingting had to be busy with movies and school, and Tina was actually not a woman who liked to have fun, so sometimes Zhou Yu felt bored.
He couldn't have gone to the beach alone to collect shells.
It is also impossible to go camping alone in the mountains.
So he put his energy on the research of new crops.
The new variety of rice, in the second season of this year, is almost ripe by August. In terms of observations and laboratory results, it is gratifying.
Especially the part of the rice that has escaped the influence of the jade seal, this is the third season of sowing and harvesting in an ordinary environment. Through laboratory testing, it can be completely seen that the ability of its root nodules to transform into mysterious elements has been stabilized and will not change suddenly.
In other words, this rice can now be promoted.
At this time, it is less than half a year since the contract agreement with Morgan and Brian.
in the laboratory.
Tina put down the information and said to Zhou Yu: "We are completely sure that the combination between the nodule gene used to transform the mysterious element and the mysterious element of the newly planted rice has been stabilized. My dear, what are you going to do next? ”
"My agreement with your father and Morgan was two years, and now there is a year and a half left. And at first, we were also going to observe it a few more times to make sure that there were no drawbacks to this crop? So, there's no need to rush. Let's watch one more season. ”
"But my dear, I succeeded, so I'm not motivated."
"Not motivated?" Zhou Yu laughed out loud: "Then how about giving you another motivation?" ”
"Huh?" Tina clasped her hands to her chest and looked at Zhou Yu.
"Now that new crops have been developed, we can also study new livestock." Zhou Yu laughed and said, "For example, beef cattle, or turkeys? ”
Tina winked at her big blue eyes, "I think the turkey fits." ”
"So what are you waiting for?"
The two smiled at each other and walked out of the lab.
Plants and animals, there is too much difference. Therefore, to study a turkey that is different from the past, but contains mysterious elements in meat quality, for Zhou Yu and Tina, it is almost necessary to start from scratch. Many of the data obtained from previous research on crops could not be used in the next experiments except for a little reference.
But fortunately, I have been raising turkeys in a farm environment for more than a year, and the materials containing mysterious elements are ready-made, which is a lot more convenient.
Speaking of which, the turkeys raised on the farm have also undergone some changes until now. In addition to being one size larger than the average turkey in terms of size, most importantly, the feathers of these turkeys, mainly feathers, have a tendency to milky whitening.
Just like earthworms.
In the previous research on rice, the root nodule genes of beans were taken, and the results were achieved by mistake.
And now when studying turkey, what should be done so that that the element can stay in the turkey meat and not degrade in an ordinary environment?
Zhou Yu and Tina discussed for a long time.
Gene transplantation between plants is now a more mature technology. But gene transplantation between animals is much more difficult.
It often has the effect of genetic rejection, which leads to failure.
According to Tina, some biologists have proposed to combine the genes of various animals, which are superior to humans, with human genes to create super humans.
But this idea was quickly rejected.
First, because of morality and ethics -- are humans who have been transplanted with animal genes still human?
Second, there are technical difficulties.
Therefore, it is almost impossible to perform gene transplantation on animals.
The two discussed for a moment, but they could only retreat.
"We can start by working on the kind of turkey that can only be passed down from one generation to the next." Tina advises: "The second generation of turkeys is still able to retain some of the characteristics of the mystical elements, and by the third generation, it is completely degraded. In this way, the difficulty is much less. ”
"And, after all, animals are not like plants. Even if a turkey with the same characteristics as a new rice seed is developed that can be passed down from generation to generation, how can we make a profit? Is genetically restricted surgery done on this turkey? If you don't do it, as long as you flow out a batch, you can quickly grow and develop, and it doesn't matter to you. ”
"It's better to do the kind that can only be passed down from one generation to another, and make a profit, with the sale of seedlings as the core."
"That's the truth." Zhou Yu frowned and said, "But in this way, the scale is limited." Even if I set aside another piece of land to raise turkeys and hatch seedlings, how much can I hatch at one time? ”
"It's better than being busy for nothing, isn't it?" Tina retorted.
Zhou Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath and groaned for a long time before slowly bowing his head: "Well, since the technology of animal gene transplantation is not up to standard, let's do as you say." After ten or twenty years, the technology will come up, and we will make improvements. ”
"It's the best option." Tina shrugged. (To be continued.) )
