On a sunny day in September, Ling Shizhe came to a Chinese tea restaurant in the "imitation of the imperial garden of the Tang Dynasty" to drink afternoon tea comfortably, and now this garden has a new name, DreamWorks Film and Television City.

Since the success of "The Maiden Cixi", it has gradually become a tourist attraction for people, and in view of this, Ling Shizhe changed this place to a film and television city and put it under the umbrella of DreamWorks.

The new film and television city will continue to expand it, and the first project to be built is Chang'an Avenue to accompany the filming of the TV series "God of Cooking".

According to the original plan, after the completion of this Chang'an Avenue, in addition to being used to shoot film and television dramas, it will also be a commercial pedestrian street, as long as "God of Cooking" is famous, there will naturally be a large number of people here to travel and consume, just the rental income, you can recover all the construction costs of the pedestrian street, a profitable business, there is no reason not to do.

More than 20 years ago, this imitation of the Tang Dynasty royal garden was originally a residence and recuperation place for top political dignitaries and military bigwigs in the United States and Canada, and a nuclear fuel processing base.

And as the most important overseas production base in the United States, those big people will definitely come here from time to time to investigate, so choosing a place with beautiful mountains and rivers as a place for big people to live is also the proper meaning of the question.

It is a pity that the secret here was known by the Soviet Union, and finally it was exposed to the whole world, and the governments of the United States and Canada, under the pressure of protests from the people of ≥the two countries, had to withdraw from this place, and finally they both cheapened Ling Shizhe.

If someone comes here in the future, they will definitely exclaim: Isn't this the famous Montreal Ghetto, how did it become Raccoon Town?

Indeed, if the trajectory of the previous life was followed, this place would have been completely abandoned by Hughes in '76, and then it would have become a haven for vagabonds, drug addicts, smugglers, drug traffickers, prostitutes, and all criminals, the most chaotic and filthy place in Canada.

There are a large number of criminals who will gather here, and many of the original mansions will be turned into factories, transporting all kinds of drugs to the whole of North America.

This chaos will not change until the Obama administration takes office, and the shale oil revolution that Obama unleashed has ushered in a new city-building movement in which everything will eventually be lost to history.

In this time and space, it is natural that this place will not go down the old road of history, and it will appear in front of the world with a new look, Raccoon Town, and in the future, it will even be upgraded to Raccoon City, a beautiful high-tech garden city like Singapore.

"I'm sorry sir, I'm late."

A young man in his thirties stood opposite Ling Shizhe, Ling Shizhe smiled slightly, and said, "George, you are not late, I just came early." Sit down and have a drink? ”

"A cup of maple leaf tea." The young man did it.

The person sitting in front of Ling Shizhe is none other than George Lucas, the director of the famous movie "Star Wars" in later generations.

Born in 1944, he directed his first film "THX-1138" in 1971, and he directed many films in his lifetime, the most famous of which is "Star Wars", in addition, "Raiders of the Lost Ark" with the great director Spielberg is also quite famous.

Since Ling Shizhe told Zhao Xiaoyun about the fact that movie special effects can realistically reproduce the extinct dinosaurs that have been extinct for 65 million years on the screen, he naturally thought of "Star Wars", which caused the film revolution.

The film was only created by Lucas in 1974 and shot in 75 years with a total investment of $11 million.

Star Wars was originally scheduled to be released during the Christmas holidays in 1976, but was postponed to May 25, 1977 due to post-production taking longer than expected.

In later generations, George Lucas's "Star Wars" and Steven Spielberg's "E.T." and "Jurassic Park" were hailed as three monuments in the history of science fiction films.

Ling Shizhe remembered this film when it was the beginning of 73, when the idea of "Star Wars" had not yet been formed in George Lucas's mind, so Ling Shizhe shamelessly plagiarized it, and once it was launched on the market in the form of comics, it achieved great success, especially the grand space background in the comics, as well as various mysterious and powerful celestial powers, which made science fiction fans and astronomical meters even more deeply fascinated.

Since "Star Wars" was pushed out first, the copyright naturally belongs to Ling Shizhe, and if Lucas wants to put "Star Wars" on the screen like in history, he must obtain Ling Shizhe's consent.

Like DreamWorks' previous comics, it will be released once a month, and if the market response is good, it will be changed to a semi-monthly issue, and then various peripheral toys will be launched on the market.

As soon as the comic was released, it aroused George Lucas's great interest, and when he bought the comic home and read it, he fell in love with it, and he had a call in his heart, this sci-fi comic is the most ideal sci-fi in his heart, and the sci-fi in his mind should be like this.

Nonsense, can you not fall in love with it, the historical Star Wars was originally his work.

At this time, Lucas's second film "American Painting" had just been released, and with the experience of directing two films, he keenly felt that this comic was very suitable for the big screen.

George Lucas knew that he had fallen into it, so he packed his bags, despite the fatigue of directing his second film, and went north to Raccoon Town, Canada, without resting, and then there was a meeting between Ling Shizhe and George Lucas.

George Lucas, like most Americans, spoke straightforwardly, and as soon as he sat down and took a sip of tea, he directly stated that the purpose was to bring the Star Wars comic book to the big screen.

Seeing that he was automatically sent to the door, Ling Shizhe was very happy in his heart, but in line with the principle of maximizing interests, he naturally couldn't agree in one go, but had to take care of it first, and said: "Since the release of "Jurassic Park", there have been many Hollywood studios who want to buy his film rights at a high price, what price can you give me?" ”

Lucas was obviously prepared, and said: "I'm sorry I don't have a penny, I'm not here to buy the rights, I'm here today to talk to you about how to bring it to the screen." Mr. Ling, I want to direct this movie, I will never bury it, I will definitely make this movie a legend. ”

It will indeed become a legend, and it is also a series of legends, Ling Shizhe said in his heart, but he said: "You mean that I will invest and hand it over to you to direct, right?" Seeing him nodded, Ling Shizhe continued: "It's not impossible, the key is how do I believe you, if this comic is to be put on the movie screen, its investment will never be low, and with current technology, how to show various scenes in space in front of the audience?" If it can't be realistically shown and let the audience see that it is just a simple embodiment of some prop models, the whole film will be a huge failure. ”

"Ling, I admit that we are facing a lot of difficulties in terms of special effects technology to present Star Wars in front of the audience's eyes, but I already have a general idea, and, Mr. Ling, your Ambrera company is a high-tech company, and its blade supercomputer is the greatest invention in the world, if you can help me with this, I don't think it's a big problem."

The idea of using computers to simulate various movie special effects was put forward by George Lucas in history, but during the shooting, he found that the general computer could not meet his expectations, so he and his special effects team developed the world's first graphics computer, so there was later Industrial Light & Magic, was it at this time George Lucas had the idea of establishing Industrial Light & Magic?

With questions, Ling Shizhe said tentatively: "How do you want me to help you?" ”

"I want to set up a computer special effects studio to deal with all kinds of special effects technical problems in films, Mr. Ling, I hope to get your investment."

Sure enough, but I don't know when he had this idea, could it have been when he made his first movie? After thinking about it, Ling Shizhe said: "Use electronic computers to make movie special effects? This is a very interesting idea, I am also engaged in computers, if your idea can be realized, then the computer has another application field, I agree, how much money is needed to build this studio, and how to distribute the benefits? ”

"It takes $10 million, and we'll take half of the shares."

"That's not good, you must know that the computer technology and funds are all from me, all technical problems have to be solved by my people, you don't do anything, you will account for 50% of the shares, this is too unfair to me, give you 10%."

"It's too low, Mr. Ling, you know, the first movie I shot "THX-1138" was a science fiction movie, in order to shoot this movie, I became a team, we have accumulated a lot of experience and technology in the filming of the film, these experience and technology are very valuable assets, those technicians are also very valuable assets, in this way, you 50% unchanged, I will account for 40% less, and the remaining 10% will be given to them."

"80%, and the remaining 20% are divided by yourself."

"You vampire, the last price, 60%, the remaining 40% is ours, if you don't agree, I'll find someone else."

Ling Shizhe knew that this should be his final bottom line, and after thinking about it, he agreed to the equity distribution plan he proposed.

The next thing is to discuss how to set up the studio, the studio is named Industrial Light & Magic, the CEO is George Lucas, Ling Shizhe, as an investor, has the right to know the studio's finances, he will send a professional financial team to supervise the studio's financial situation, in addition, Ling Shizhe in addition to providing funds to the studio, but also to provide them with relevant computers, of course, these will be calculated in the purchase list.

As the studio came to an end, Lucas proposed a Star Wars shoot and offered to write the script himself.

Ling Shizhe rejected his request on the spot, proposing that the script of the film must be created by DreamWorks, and you Lucas as a director can participate in it, just kidding, Lucas is a good hand as a director, but as a screenwriter, he can be called the worst screenwriter in the world.

Just look at the storyline of "Star Wars", the story of the entire series is simply rotten to death, and the plot of the movies he made is a mess except for the special effects.

This is not Ling Shizhe's hypocrisy, but the story made up by Lucas is too pitiful, "Star Wars" is a commercial movie with a big cast, the storyline will definitely not be very exciting, to make audiences all over the world willing to pay for tickets, the storyline must not be too complicated, secularization and popular plots are the foundation of commercial films, because the storyline of commercial movies must be understood by everyone, and only when everyone can understand it can the audience be interested in continuing to watch, This is also the real reason why Hollywood's commercial blockbusters can be seen by audiences all over the world, and what people are pursuing is the box office.

No matter how simple other people's stories are, the audience can at least understand them, but Lucas doesn't, the script is bad enough, but he still wants to add some bullshit metaphysics and/or when it is said to be religious to understand and express thoughts, rub, what is this, it was originally a simple story, and even ghosts can't understand it.

This is also the reason why the "Star Wars" movies of later generations have invested more than the other, and the special effects are more gorgeous than the other, but the box office is worse than the other, especially the last one, not to mention the word of mouth, and the box office is also the lowest in "Star Wars".

In view of this, when Ling Shizhe was making the "Star Wars" comics, except for a few necessary characters and props, the rest were overturned and re-set the storyline.

Ling Shizhe has his own definition of blockbuster in his mind, and this definition is, wonderful story + grand scene + dazzling and colorful special effects = blockbuster.

According to this principle, how to design the story structure of "Star Wars", the story should be exciting and the background should be grand, so Ling Shizhe referred to the DND mode of "StarCraft" and "World of Warcraft" in later generations, and designed a grand space background world for it.

The original story setting was a confrontation between the Galactic Republic and the Galactic Empire, and this setting was too Cold War, and a "Top Gun" to reflect the Cold War was enough, "Star Wars" should forget it, and it would be better to replace him with another one.

The background of the game "StarCraft" Ling Shizhe looks good, and the time sets him in 5xxx AD, when the earth has entered the space age, and there are human colony planets everywhere in the galaxy.

There is not only one intelligent creature in the galaxy, but there are three intelligent beings and three cosmic civilizations, which are:

The human civilization of mankind, the Angela civilization composed of the Holy Race, and the Azyaki civilization composed of the Zerg.

The Angela civilization of the Holy Race is much higher than the human civilization, and the Zerg Azyaki civilization is a little lower than the human civilization, but the Zerg are very barbaric and bloodthirsty.

They all formed their own countries, and humanity centered on the earth and established the Galactic Federal Republic; With the planet Angela as the center, the Holy Race established the Empire of the Divine Realm; The Zerg established the Yaki Empire centered on the planet Angela.

The entire galaxy is ruled by these three civilizations, and they each occupy one side of the galaxy, among which the Zerg has the largest territory, standing nearly half of the galaxy, the Holy race stands for more than one-third of the galaxy, and finally humans occupy the least.

In order to compete for more galactic resources, the three civilizations often engage in large-scale wars with each other, and the origin of the story of "Star Wars" begins here:

In 5xxx AD, human beings have broken through the idea of space time, which led to the era of space colonization, human beings have established colonies everywhere in the galaxy, and space cities can be seen everywhere in the galaxy, but human beings are not satisfied with this, and are still actively exploring larger colonies......

One day, human beings discovered a planet called Pandora, which has a mineral element "unobtanium" on it that can completely change the energy structure of human beings, but the problem is that the resource-rich planet Pandora is not suitable for human life, the air here is deadly to humans, and the native animals and plants are fierce predators and extremely dangerous.

The environment here has also created a race that is different from humans: the 10-foot-tall (about 3 meters) blue humanoids called the Na'vi. The Na'vi resented the arrival of the human pioneers, and did not like the scars left by the human machines as they mined everywhere on the planet's soil.

Although the environment of Pandora is harsh, humans can even work on Pandora with bare skin as long as they wear an air filtration mask.

Since humans could not communicate directly with the Na'vi even if they learned the Na'vi language, scientists turned to cloning: they combined human DNA with Na'vi DNA to create a clone of the Na'vi, which allowed human consciousness to enter it and become the "avatar" of human freedom on the planet.

Not anyone can manipulate this clone'vi, only those whose DNA matches the human DNA in him does.

Jack Sully's twin brother is the human DNA donor of this Clone Na'vi, he can manipulate this Clone Na'vi, but he is killed, and the mining company must find someone who can manipulate Clone Na'vi instead of him in order not to let the money go down in vain (the Clone Na'vi is expensive), and this person's DNA must also match his match, so they naturally found Jake Sally, and Jake Sally was happy about it, because it meant that he could walk again.

A few years later, Jack Sully arrived on the planet Pandora, and he found that the beauty of Pandora was indescribable, with towering trees up to 900 feet (about 274 meters), mountains floating in the sky, dense rainforests full of colorful and exotic plants, and various plants and animals that glow at night, just like a fantasy garden in a dream.

However, he soon experienced the danger here, a dead beast (a native creature of the planet Pandora) met him in a narrow way, in the process of escaping for his life, Jack lost contact with his teammates, and was attacked by a pack of coyotes at night, Jack rose to fight, and during the whole battle, Jack was outnumbered and in danger, an arrow shot at the critical moment killed the poisonous wolf, and Jack was saved. He was rescued by the princess of the Na'vi tribe, from whom Jack learned more about the planet Pandora.

The Na'vi have always lived a simple and natural life in harmony with the other species of Pandora, and in the process of getting along with the Na'vi girl, Jack gradually changed his perspective on humans coming to mine here, and he realized that he had found something worth fighting for......

Driven by profit, humans sent warplanes to destroy the Na'vi people's homestead tree, and despite Jack and others' repeated efforts to hope that they could not do so, the mining company was determined to destroy it.

The humans destroyed the giant tree on which the Na'vi depended, and the leader of the Na'vi was killed by artillery fire......

At this time, Jack and the others were locked up by them because of their conflict with the interests of the mining company. Later, they took the opportunity to escape, and Jack rode the Phantom to the sacred tree where the Na'vi were temporarily living, and called on the Na'vi to resist, and he finally gained the trust of the Na'vi again.

At Jack's appeal, they contacted people from other peoples on the planet Pandora, and together they formed a resistance army of several thousand people, forming a defense line by land and air.

Then, the Na'vi rebel alliance and the mining company's army fought a bloody battle, and in the end, the human mining company failed and was driven out of the planet Pandora, and Jack became the leader of the Na'vi on the planet.

The mining company returned to Earth in disgrace, and their defeat caused a huge wave in the Galactic Federal Republic, and humanity could not tolerate failure, let alone Jack, a "shameful" traitor to humanity.

Revenge, revenge, the planet Pandora is ours, we must destroy these bugs, so a huge space fleet with 300 motherships called Battlestar (referring to the shape of the mothership in the cartoon "Battlestar") as the core slaughtered the planet Pandora......

The difference in strength between the Na'vi and the human race is too great, they have no power to fight back at all, and the human race quickly wiped out all the Na'vi people on the planet Pandora, as well as other peoples on the planet Pandora, Jack, the shameful human "traitor", was also eliminated, and the human race completely occupied Pandora.

Just as humanity was celebrating the return of Pandora to human ownership, the Holy Race and the Zerg also discovered Pandora, and they both wanted to take possession of the resource "Unobtanium" on Pandora alone, so the war began......

Rick is a space fighter pilot on Battlestar who has a beautiful girlfriend, the big singer Aki Yimi, who meets a human stray child on the planet Pandora during a combat mission.

It's strange that this kid isn't afraid of the deadly air of Pandora.

The child's name was Anakin Sith, and seeing that he was a human child, Rick took him back...... Little did Rick know that this kid was the child of Na'vi leader Jack Sully.

Rick took the Sith as his own, and in order to make him the greatest hero of mankind, Rick had the Sith learn from the Jedi Knight "Yuda......

After graduating from high school, a group of boys and girls must make choices about their future. At the instigation of his girlfriend Carmen, Anakin Sith enrolled in the mechanized infantry school, while Carmen chose the Naval Academy, where she dreamed of becoming a female Starfleet pilot.

During the training, Carmen has a crush on the cold and handsome instructor Bacarlo, while the Sith has a relationship with Diczi, a female classmate assigned to the same barracks. Flores developed feelings.

Soon after, news of an alien Zerg attack came from the Sith's hometown of Buenos Aires, and that his mother, Ming Yimei, and his friends had been slaughtered.

Carmen, who was in charge of reconnaissance, transmitted the footage from the air to Anakin Sith, who had been promoted to the rank of officer, and the grief-stricken Sith decided to lead his men into battle.

The Galactic Federation military greatly underestimated the power of this spider-like insect, which was several times larger than the human body, with an indestructible shell, powerful pincers and razor-sharp teeth, they were tenacious and belligerent, and were a very terrible weapon of killing, and the first encounter ended in a complete defeat for the American army, with 100,000 soldiers spilling blood on the battlefield.

Anakin Sith and his men witnessed the carnage and figured out why the Zerg were smarter than humans, as they sucked the brains of dead soldiers into their bodies as they cleaned up the battlefield, so that they could concentrate the wisdom of several people.

In one valley, the Sith was attacked by hundreds or thousands of insects, which came in like a tidal wave, and the advanced machine guns seemed powerless in front of them.

At the critical moment, Anakin Sith, as a Jedi, drew out the laser sword given to him by his master "Yuda" and slashed at the Zerg to cover the evacuation of his subordinates...... After a fierce battle, only a few people, including Sith and Flores, survived.

At this point, the Sith realized that he had to use more advanced weapons to fight these murderous monsters, so he led the rest of the crew to join the Galactic Starfleet, fighting alongside Carmen and Bacarlo, to fight back against the enemy......

This new comic that resets "Star Wars", Ling Shizhe gave him a major operation, using the game "Star Domination" as the background, taking the "Avatar" story as the starting point, and integrating "Battlestar" and "Star Troopers" into the story system of the original movie version of "Star Wars".

In this way, the story of "Star Wars" is more than a star and a half stronger than the original, the story is ups and downs, the meaning is far-reaching, and the background has become very grand, it is simply a space epic.

Desert Planet, Federation Princess, Robot R2 and C3P0, Villain Da Mojin and other characters were also retained by Ling Shizhe, and finally Anakin * Sith will be the same as the original, after learning about his own background, plus losing his lover, he finally rebelled out of the Human Federation and became the biggest villain in Star Wars, the ruler of the Holy Race......

At this point, the story can go on, and as long as the audience doesn't get tired of it, "Star Wars" can be turned into a super series of movies that will continue to be filmed non-stop, while also launching various sister and side stories based on the world of "Star Wars". For example, a new version of the Battlestar comic and movie with the Star Wars world as the main character can be launched with Rick, the adoptive father of Anakin Sith.

Even many sci-fi manga such as famous Japanese anime "Gundam Tron", "Mobile Suit Gundam", "Star Guard", "Revolutionary Machine Valvrave", "Gundam SEED", "Horizon on the Borderline", "Space Adventure", "Captain Earth", "Mobile Suit Gundam SEED-SP", "Super Robot Wars", "Full Metal Mania" and many other science fiction manga can be integrated into the world system of "Star Wars".

Of course, these comics have a typical Japanese comic style, and in order for them to be integrated into the Hollywood-style "Star Wars", they must undergo major surgery. For example, "Horizon on the Borderline" can be changed to a Jedi version, which can be used as the main story of "Star Wars" at that time, and can be taken out as a new comic book on its own, just like the superheroes of Wiman Comics, "Star Wars" is marketed as a science fiction system brand.

"Ling, the background of your "Star Wars" story is too large and complex, for example, taking the opening part of Pandora as an example, with the current special effects technology, it is impossible to make the effect we want, so we can't shoot according to the plot order in the comics, we can only select a story fragment to shoot, it can't be too complicated, it must meet the technical requirements of the special effects that can be done now, this is the purpose of why I insist on creating the script by myself."

Ling Shizhe would not be fooled by him, he smiled and said: "George, Hollywood's film creation rules, I understand you even if I don't say it, do you think I will believe you?" I've seen two of your films, and to be honest, the scripts you wrote were really not good. Tell me, which of the stories did you choose? Say it, you can participate in the script writing, and we will create it together. ”

Seeing that Ling Shizhe didn't let go, Lucas had no choice but to compromise, took out the latest issue of the Star Wars comic from his black briefcase, and handed it over.

Ling Shizhe took the comic and flipped it up quickly, and laughed before he finished it, it turned out that Lucas gave him the comics, and the story told in it happened to be the story in the first "Star Wars" in the original history, but the story has just begun, and it will take a few issues to finish, but I didn't expect Lucas to target him now.

History really has a huge similarity, or the inertia of history is huge, and after going around in such a big circle, it actually goes back to the original trajectory.

(I haven't changed it for a few days, I'm sorry everyone, I won't say the excuse, in short, it's my fault, I have a problem with myself, and I'm decadent.) Today I will give you a compensation and a big chapter. "Star Wars" is the most classic movie shot by Lucas, but I have been complaining about the storyline in it, it is too difficult to make up, which greatly affects the enjoyment of the film, so I re-set him, I don't know if everyone agrees with my major surgery on "Star Wars", if not, skip it. ）
