Kenny Ortega's desire to make "Youth Musical" into a 3D movie is so strong that he wasted more than half an hour and asked Lin Mingyang to watch an IMAX-3D version of the movie, just to pull Lin Mingyang into his camp.

After coming out of the science museum, Kenny Ortega invited Lin Mingyang to drink coffee, and before the coffee was served, he impatiently expressed his thoughts.

Lin Mingyang stirred the spoon, and the aroma of coffee in the cup was accompanied by the rising white vapor, just like his contradictory and complicated heart at this time. Emotionally, he is willing to support Kenny Ortega; But reason told him that it would cost a lot to make a real 3D movie. The "High School Musical" series made a lot of money for the Disney Company, but it was not easy to really convince them to pay for it.

"The Disney Company has already made a lot of money in the first two films, and the sales of extended merchandise driven by the film are even more amazing, with a circulation of more than 15 million DVDs, a circulation of 13 million for the original soundtrack, and 10 million box office receipts for theme concerts, all of which only happened to the first two films." Kenny Ortega angrily accuses the Disney Company of being "greedy."

"Now "Youth Musical" is no longer just the name of a series of movies, but has become a famous brand that Disney Company has created great revenue every year, and Disney is fully capable of investing more money in the final episode of the film at this time!"

The sugar cube in the cup had melted, Lin Mingyang stopped stirring the coffee and looked directly into Kenny Ortega's eyes: "I want to know, do you want to make a real 3D movie, or just want to convert the finished movie into 3D format?" ”

According to Lin Mingyang's understanding, the real 3D film is actually a method of observing the scenery with the human eye, using two film cameras placed side by side, representing the left and right eyes of the person respectively, and simultaneously shooting two slightly horizontal parallax movie screens.

But as we all know, making 3D movies is a "money-burning" job. In order to win a high box office and save costs to the greatest extent, Hollywood studios not only began to put 3D labels on their own movies, but also invented a "pseudo-3D technology".

This is a lazy behavior that saves time, effort and money, and it is a flat image taken by a regular camera, and then several layers are made on the computer through software and slightly staggered. Because the staggered distance is calculated by formula according to the distance of the front, middle and back scenes shot by the camera, some directions are dead angles that the computer cannot change, which makes the whole image lack a sense of depth, so some viewers joke that "pseudo-3D" movies "only the subtitles are three-dimensional".

In Hollywood, the real 3D film technology has matured, but many companies are reluctant to spend a lot of money to invest in technology, and only rely on computer post-compositing, this approach is actually going backwards in Lin Mingyang's view, and simple conversion will eventually make 3D movies lose their audience and eventually kill themselves.

If Kenny Ortega just has the idea of making a "pseudo-3D" movie, then it would be foolish for Lin Mingyang to support him again, but Kenny Ortega really wants to make a real 3D movie, and Lin Mingyang is happy to stand on the same front as him.

A 3D version of a cabaret movie, if you think about it, it's a really good idea.

---Kenny Ortega, of course, wanted to make a real 3D movie, and got Lin Mingyang's support, he didn't even have time to eat dinner, so he rushed to discuss the matter with Disney's production director Orson Ivey, but the reply he got was that the other party couldn't stop shaking his head, Orson Ivey thought his idea was too "naïve" and didn't want to talk to Kenny Ortega at all.

The way to direct negotiation was blocked in this way, and Kenny Ortega had to think of ways from other aspects, seeing that he didn't think about tea and dinner in the crew, Lin Mingyang's heart softened, and finally gave him an idea.

When Kenny Ortega went to find Orson Ivy again, he was unsurprisingly "closed"

"Miss Lisa, I know Mr. Orson is in the office, I have to see him today, and this is the last time!"

Orson Aiwei's assistant Lisa smiled professionally, "Mr. Orson is really not in the office, he has something to go out today." ”

"Then you call him now, and say that I want to see him immediately!" Kenny Ott was furious as soon as he heard this.

"But at this time... Mr. Orson may be on his lunch break. Miss Lisa grimaced.

"I'm the director invited by Disney to film, not an employee of Dinis, I don't care if it's working hours or not, you call him and call me, if he doesn't want to solve this matter today, then I'll go directly to your president!" Kenny Ortega is full of anticipation and wants to make this film well, but the other party's reaction is so cold, anyone who encounters such a thing will inevitably get angry.

Kenny Ortega's grim expression was definitely not a joke, Miss Lisa quickly dialed a phone, and after connecting it, she whispered a few words into the microphone, and then said "Understood", and then hung up the phone.

Orson Ivey wasn't on his lunch break at all, and he was playing golf when he answered the phone. Kenny Ortega's stubbornness gave him some headaches, and in desperation, he asked Lisa to invite Kenny Ortega over. Orson Ivey is ready to play golf while enlightening the stubborn director.

Despite a tantrum outside the office door, Kenny Ortega calmed down on his way to the golf course. When he met Orson Aiwei, he didn't refuse the club he handed over.

Orson Ivey swung a shot, but it was too hard and the ball was deflected wide by him. Kenny Ortega has been watching quietly, and from the way he swings, he can conclude that Orson Ivey is a veteran, so Orson Ivey will only have one purpose in doing this, he is deliberately doing it to Kenny Ortega.

Sure enough, Orson Aiwei shook his head, handed the club to the caddy behind him, and said seemingly casually: "Sure enough, I'm a little anxious!" "He's talking about himself on the surface, but he's actually alluding to Kenny Ortega.

Orson Ivey "acting" in front of Kenny Ortega, the director, is simply a class axe. Kenny Ortega was very direct at him: "Your game isn't that bad, so what do you want to tell me?" ”

"I want to persuade you to give up that crazy idea, even if I support you, but you promise that you can convince the other directors?" Orson Aiwei directly picked out the words.

"To you, maybe my idea is crazy, but great ideas come from whims, and I need a chance!" Kenny Ortega took a deep breath and steadied himself.

Orson Ivey stared at Kenny Ortega, "You don't have enough chips on you, why should we trust you?" ”

"And what about the film rights to the Twilight series of novels?" Kenny Ortega said lightly, but Orson Ivey froze. Twilight has only been released for the first time so far, but it has sold more than 35 million copies worldwide, and with the success of Harry Potter on the horizon, no one can doubt that it is an excellent film adaptation. For the film adaptation rights of "Twilight", major film companies have always been eyeing it. This time, in order to help Kenny Ortega, Lin Mingyang actually threw out such a condition that was difficult to refuse.

If he can win the film rights of "Twilight", even if Kenny Ortega finally smashes the 3D version of "Song and Dance 3", Disney will not lose money. Orson Aiwei quickly calculated the pros and cons in his heart, and quickly made up his mind.

"You come with me to Mr. Wallace, the president!"

――――At the beginning of the new year of 2005, the Disney Company officially announced that the filming budget of "Youth Musical" 3 had been increased to 50 million US dollars, which was already a groundbreaking investment record for a youth song and dance movie without any special effects. Kenny Ortega announced his plan to make "Youth Musical" into a 3D movie in a high-profile interview with reporters in a subsequent interview, causing an uproar in the media.

For a time, Hollywood undercurrents surged, and the film copyright of the much-loved "Twilight" series of novels finally "spent" Disney with a transfer fee of $15 million, and after the film was released, Lin Mingyang will also receive 20% of the income dividends.

Except for the profit sharing with floating risks, Disney's offer is not high, but it only took a week for the two sides to reach an agreement from contact, and other film companies have not had time to react.

With plenty of money, Kenny Ortega brought in professional 3D film shooting technicians. Emma Roberts and two other lucky new actors have arrived on the set one after another. The first thing this small but likable little girl did when she arrived at the crew was not to say hello to director Kenny Ortega, but to run to Lin Mingyang to ask for an autograph.

Kenny Ortega also joked that Lin Mingyang would have another "little tail" next to him. His joke unfortunately came true, and after the initial strangeness disappeared, Emma Roberts's clingy kung fu gradually showed, and she came to Lin Mingyang's side when she was fine, and under the guise of asking for advice, she kept getting close to Lin Mingyang. This seemingly innocent little Lori always has an innocent smile on her face, which makes Lin Mingyang unbearable to refuse every time.
