Chapter 438: Epilogue, Heavy Treasure in Hand (Five Watches)
"Transformers" ended the scenes in most of the filming cities in the United States, and Hu Yifei pulled the entire crew to Las Vegas. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Las Vegas is a busy city after all, and the filming time was finalized after many negotiations between Erica and the Las Vegas City Hall.
Despite the strong support from the city hall, Hu Yifei didn't have much time to shoot, and the scene at the end was only a one-week shooting period, but fortunately, all Transformers would use CGI compositing in post-production without having to shoot their shots.
However, Hu Yifei is still engrossed, and before each shot is shot, the effect of the addition of Transformers must also be taken into account.
But after the real shooting, whether it is Paramount or the family film company, they all feel that Hu Yifei's progress is amazing.
It's only been more than two months, and most of it has been completed, or when Hu Yifei occasionally goes on a business trip and pauses to hand over the filming to Michael Bay. It seems that he didn't pay much attention, and the movie is about to come to an end.
This can't help but worry Paramount, even Paramount's boss Shirley Lansing has been here several times, and she wants to say: "Partner, it's okay for you to use a little snack, even if it's a little slow, the most important thing is to shoot well." β
It's a pity that Hu Yifei will listen to her?
So no one can criticize Hu Yifei's shooting.
The strange phenomenon of shooting is not fast, but the progress is fast, which is incomprehensible. But Michael Bay found the clue, because Hu Yifei has already made up the complete lens in his mind, and many of them can be done with the help of special effects, he only shoots the pictures he needs, and does not waste time in some superfluous places. That's why his shooting progress is amazingly fast.
But he didn't think there was a problem with this, but admired it!
At least there is nothing wrong with Hu Yifei's current shooting.
If there are occasional problems, it is also caused by Hu Yifei's brainstorming sometimes, coming up with some new ideas, and temporarily changing the shooting plan.
βcutοΌ Andrew, AA come over here. β
The sound of a megaphone sounded on the set, and after shouting to stop the entire crew, Hu Yifei beckoned the two leading actors to come over and give a lecture.
The crew is not surprised, because everyone has become accustomed to it.
It's the most famous of the Las Vegas Strips, but now it's not only temporarily closed, it looks as if it's just been invaded by an alien invasion, and the streets are littered with scrapped cars and asphalt debris.
Not far away, there are also several new US main battle tanks, as well as several fighter wreckage props. Hu Yifei's movie has changed a lot. Not only has it expanded its occupation to the whole world, it has greatly increased the combat effectiveness of the Autobots and Decepticons, and now it is not only satisfied with street battles in the city, but also needs to be destroyed and destroyed on a larger scale.
So he decided to expand the scale of the destruction again.
He summoned the heads of the crew's various departments such as photography, pyrotechnics, stunts and props to the temporary set, and called in the two leading actors, Andrew Garfield and Alexandre Ambrosio.
He simply said to cinematographer Valefiste, prop set designer Larry Dias, and VFX supervisor Russell Earle, "Add in the shot of the building toppling down, and the main character will be shuttling and dodging ...... below."
Then, he explained to Andrew and Ambrosio how to act for a while, and then restarted filming.
After filming for such a long time, Andrew and the two naturally know what the style of this film is, which is nothing more than to add more combat and explosion shots. The role of the heroine Ambrosio has also increased a lot, in order not to make her look too vase, Hu Yifei highlighted her wild charm of standing up and fighting bravely in the final battle.
ββ¦β¦ It's a blast scene, you go through the venue two more times, don't go the wrong way. Hu Yifei instructed.
The two nodded and went to prepare for the shoot in earnest.
The filming of an explosion scene is not easy, not only is it costly, but it is also very cumbersome, just to set up the scene, it took nearly several hours, fortunately, this kind of scene does not have high requirements for the actors' acting skills, otherwise Hu Yifei shouted "again", it would be no less than a disaster for the crew.
Hu Yifei didn't sit behind the TV anymore, raised the megaphone and stood in front of the rocker camera, personally operated it, and shouted a few voices to the venue from time to time, everyone's movements accelerated significantly, "Report the situation from various departments? β
"Photography is OK."
"Props are OK."
"Blast OK."
After the lighting and recording were ready, Hu Yifei looked at the two actors who were still communicating, "AA, Andrew, are you ready?" β
Ambrosio smiled at Hu Yifei and gave a thumbs up, indicating that he was fine.

Hearing Hu Yifei's shout, the entire crew moved. "Boom" several explosions exploded around the actors, which looked very terrifying, but in fact, the explosion trajectory was accurately calculated. As long as the actor follows the established route, it will not hurt a bit.
Holding the spark with one hand and covering his head with the other, Andrew Garfield turned his head to the back and shouted, "Ironskin! Ambulance! According to the setting of the role, the male protagonist Sam is not the sullen high school student he once was, and he does not lack courage at critical moments, "Cover me!" Cover me and rush over! With that, he rushed forward again, dodging a burning car on the side of the road, gradually speeding up, and at the same time quickly jumping over the ****** placed on the road.
Ambrosio also wore tight jeans, showing his wild charm on his face, and with the help of the injured bumblebee, he personally set up a peak, took the paralyzed bumblebee to the battlefield, manipulated the bumblebee's weapon, and began to meet the Decepticons.
"30 degrees to the right, hit Bichi hard!"
The explosion finally came to an end, although he was not particularly satisfied, but he basically achieved the desired effect, Hu Yifei was not ready to reshoot, he raised the megaphone, and said, "cut! Well done, this one is over! β
β¦β¦
At the end of another day's shooting, Erica suddenly came to her. Also here comes Fan Binbin, who plays a highly skilled hacker in this film who serves the country in the call of the Minister of Defense, and then discovers the secrets of the alien music spectrum first, and then participates in the global battle alliance against the Decepticons.
Hu Yifei, who had worked all day, suddenly saw a long-lost beauty, and suddenly smiled on his face and said, "It's here." β
Fan Binbin's mouth was deflated, he seemed to be a little aggrieved, and he was quite distressed to see Hu Yifei's tired face, so he nodded obediently, "Here, do you want to be so busy." Such a big boss still works every day and every night, and he doesn't take care of his body. β
She looked at Hu Yifei, her eyes seemed to be glowing, and Hu Yifei's heart fluttered, as if she was hooked by something.
"There's no way, I can't leave, it's fine after this year!"
Hu Yifei's heart warmed, "You wait for a while, and I'll take you to dinner later." β
"Yes."
Fan Binbin responded obediently, feeling panicked when he didn't meet, and only after meeting did he feel that his restless heart was instantly steady.
Erica came over and interrupted: "Hu, the information that Shirley gave you, you can take a look first." β
"Okay, let's talk as we go." Hu Yifei took the information and looked at it.
With more than 9,000 patents and nearly 1,000 patents to use, it is not easy to combine these patents alone. The main reason why Nortel Networks didn't think about using patents to gain benefits was that their patents were too loose, but these patents were very high-quality patents, covering wireless networks, telecom switches, Internet routers, modems, personal computers, search, social networks, and semiconductors.
Such a large number of high-quality, diverse patents, this is a strange thing in itself, Hu Yifei's previous Nortel network patents were later made public, almost shocked the world, but now, they regard these as such excellent, even as patents that can only be found in Bell Labs and IBM, a very important reason is that the structure of these patents is too loose.
Therefore, after Hu Yifei bought these patents, the first thing he needed to do was to integrate these patents and turn them into some patent portfolios to form his own powerful patent weapons, so that whether it is used as a defense, authorization, or even an attack on competitors, it is very powerful.
Don't underestimate these patent lawsuits, not long ago, Lucent sued Microsoft for infringing their MP3 patent, claiming $500 million, and then those patent lawsuits are also hundreds of millions, which is very amazing.
Hu Yifei once saw some news that by 2012, Qualcomm paid $4 billion a year in patent fees, while IBM, the world's largest patent holder, collected more than $1 billion a year in patent fees.
As for the Android phones produced by Google in its previous life, Google itself actually didn't make much money, but Microsoft made much more money from his series of patent licenses than Google, which worked hard to develop the Android system.
It can be seen that the patent war is bound to become the biggest barrier for high-tech enterprises in the next few years.
Riot currently holds nearly 9,000 patents, which has made Riot a successful leader in the industry.
After this period of negotiations, Shirley Sandberg's side finally achieved results, with an initial offer of $800 million, but the Northern Power Grid did not agree. Further negotiations eventually resulted in a $900 million acquisition.
This price is already the bottom line that she can negotiate, just waiting for Hu Yifei to sign.
When Hu Yifei saw this offer, he thought he was wrong. If I remember correctly, after the patent was hot in the original space-time, Google, Apple, Microsoft, etc. came to grab the patent, and at that time the Northern Power Grid Company had gone bankrupt, and the patent was put up for auction on the auction platform. Google took the lead in offering $700 million, and in the end, under the joint efforts of the company, it rose all the way to more than $4 billion, even so, the value of so many patents is far from being comparable to $4 billion.
Riot Technology is now making a move, and it only takes $900 million to get it, it's like pie falling from the sky, "Buy, haha, how can you not buy it!" β
Fan Binbin sat next to him in the car, and it was clear that this was not a million, tens of millions, but a $900 million acquisition. Hu Yifei even looked very happy, "What are you buying, asking for so much money?" β
"It's worth the price!"
Hu Yifei laughed, hooked her little head with a distressed expression while happy, and kissed her fiercely, which made Fan Binbin's cheeks red, but Erica was watching next to her. How can this be? She didn't have a face to see. Erica pretended not to see it, and said: "Actually, I don't understand your acquisition, is the patent right so valuable, if we press it again, maybe it will be cheaper to get it." β
Hu Yifei waved his hand and said: "It's better to win it as soon as possible, and the company can also carry out research and development, and the province will have extra branches." β
The news of the completion of another $900 million acquisition immediately attracted the attention of the world's media, when in reality, he himself did nothing.
I can't say that I didn't do anything, at least after finalizing my long-lost heart, I celebrated warmly in the evening, and I haven't seen Bin for a long time, and I can't go back to the hotel like glue. Almost from the doorway to the bedroom, it was a strip show. Since Nina came and gone, Hu has been storing the essence these days, and now he has all the brains to Fan Ye.
I don't know how long I tossed, until there was a roar, and both of them breathed a long sigh of relief.
Many people in the outside world don't know why Hu Yifei's acquisition, but after Jobs learned that such a deal was reached, he specially looked for information to check it, and only then did he realize how much he had missed a heavy treasure. This damn Northern Power Grid Company still hides such a large piece of patent copyright, why don't you publish it, cheap Chinese for nothing! (To be continued.) )
