Carl Sr. finally signed a contract of intent, and the deal was in fact completed, just waiting for the final legal formalities to be added, and Yang Lin would become the owner of the film company. Old Carl enthusiastically sent Yang Lin and Kidd away, while Daisy looked at Kidd's tall back without looking back with tears in her eyes, and she didn't know what it was like.

Old Carl patted her on the back lovingly, sighed and said, "You are always so strong, so self-righteous, you can't be more tolerant." No matter what you do, you have to do it according to your own wishes, completely ignoring the feelings of others, how can you be happy? I know you're still in love with Kidd, but I think people have abandoned you, and no one likes such an impulsive and selfish girl. ”

Daisy wiped her eyes, her tears wet the mascara, she smeared it black like a panda, gritted her teeth and said, "You wait and see, that silly boy from Kidd is a worm in the palm of my hand, I must him obediently return to my side, and I will be gentle in the future." But that damn Yang, why did he say those things? I'm so angry, I'm all embarrassed, I want him to look good! ”

Girls are very face-saving, and she felt very embarrassed by Yang Lin's words, so she hated Yang Lin so much, as for Yang Lin letting her realize that Kidd was a good man, she had already selectively ignored it.

Old Carl scratched his head irritably, his daughter probably had this temper, and she couldn't change it for the rest of her life.

It was still two days before the law firm's assessment results came out, and Kidd said goodbye to Yang Lin with a light body and a relaxed heart. He's going north to New York, and his resignation hasn't been handed in yet.

Yang Lin didn't have anything to do, and called to transfer the descendants of Hong Kong. Waiting to enter the new film company and build its own structure, he took Du Qingshan, Li Kaijun, the two second generals, and the newly recruited younger brother Brad Pitt, to play around Hollywood all day long. After shopping around Hollywood, I went to San Francisco, which is not far away.

Ju Jueliang, Pan Hengsheng, Ma Chucheng, and Zhang Shuping are Yang Lin's royal team, and after receiving Yang Lin's order, they immediately packed up, contacted Zhu Chuhong, and killed Hollywood together. Everyone was excited. Because they know that their group of people should be the first batch of pioneers of Hong Kong films to impact Hollywood, representing the highest level of Hong Kong films. is also burdened with the lofty glory of Hong Kong films, which can only succeed, not fail.

In the history before the emergence of Yang Lin, the whole of Hong Kong was the most eager to enter Hollywood and put in the greatest effort. It is Zou Wenhuai. Let Hong Kong films conquer Hollywood is almost his quest to win. Looking at the eye-catching front-page headlines of the newspaper in his hand, Zou Wenhuai pursed his lips, and he didn't know what it was like in his heart. Envy? Eat one's heart out? Angry? None of them, but they all have a little bit. It's good to be young, you can do whatever you want with your temperament, and even if you fall, you can get up and start over. But when he is at his age, he doesn't dare to do that, and he must be safe first in everything. If you fail once, you will probably not be able to turn over in this life. But what's the deal with you leaving some of your minions in Hong Kong and going into Hollywood single-handedly? "This shaft. Didn't you put me Zou Wenhuai in your eyes? Think you can compete with me just by setting up a bunch of messy film companies with this group of directors? It just doesn't make sense! "Zou Tycoon thinks it's a kind of red. Bare. The naked humiliation, because he couldn't see the slightest attention from Yang Lin, a "quasi-enemy", was a little annoyed and angry.

"Hehe" He Guanchang, who was drinking tea, chuckled, he hadn't seen Zou Wenhuai angry for a long time. "It's not that people don't pay attention to you, but they treat you as an opponent at all, judging from the current situation, this kid is not small. Do you believe it or not, if you defeat Red Star Pictures now, or even annex Red Star Cinemas, maybe people will grit their teeth and smile and be done? Hong Kong is a small place, and people don't pay attention to it. ”

Zou Wenhuai was silent for a while, and thought about it, otherwise you wouldn't be able to explain Yang Lin's current practice of completely letting go of Hong Kong's affairs. But he was still unconvinced: "Lao Tzu has been working hard to open the North American market for so many years, but how is the effect now?" Except for one Li Xiaolong, who is half the success, pushing kung fu movies forward, Cheng Long is a third-rate actor at all, and when people mention Hong Kong movies, they only know kung fu movies, which are still funny. I don't believe that Yang Lin, a doll with no hair, can do anything. Invest 200 million Hong Kong dollars? That's more than 30 million dollars, and he's crazy. ”

He Guanchang looked at the nagging Zou Wenhuai, and couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head: "That's the first method, where did you use 30 million US dollars?" The movie he wants to make is not a love film, and the biggest investment is the salary, even if the Hollywood salary is a little more expensive, it is enough to have 18 million, can he still invite those big names? Just look at him getting Ju Chuhong over to be the heroine. Also, what is the name of that Hong Kong sister Xie Ning, she was photographed with Yang Lin intimacy, but now it is not good. ”

He knew what Zou Wenhuai was so perversely nagging, Zou Wenhuai dreamed of bringing Hong Kong movies to Hollywood and succeeded, but he didn't want this glory to be completed by Yang Lin, so he was very conflicted.

Zou Wenhuai also knew that his mood was a little fluctuating, so he sighed and rubbed his brows: "What's going on over there in the Red Star Pictures?" Since Yang Lin is going all out to enter Hollywood, he doesn't believe that there will be no arrangements in Hong Kong.

"Xu Ke is filming "A Chinese Ghost Story" on the one hand, and on the other hand, he is setting up a 'film studio'. Du Qifeng joined Red Star Pictures after leaving TVB, he and Yang Lin are brothers, and the relationship has always been very good. I haven't heard of any movies I plan to make, but I'm preparing to build a film company like Xu Ke, which seems to be called 'Galaxy Image'. Yang Lin, this kid, wants to play the rest of our game, so that he can be liberated and enter Hollywood wholeheartedly. ”

Zou Wenhuai nodded: "I have to admit that this kid is really courageous." If he is in charge of Red Star Films, within five years, Hong Kong movies may be his world, but now it is not easy to say that he will put it down. ”

"Yang Lin's stunt team is very powerful. Now there are a lot of talented people on the Internet, especially those guys from the mainland, who are simply perfect at playing blasting. Our big production next year, "Brother Dragon and Brother". We have to learn from his stunt team, which is much more powerful than our own. And if possible, we can contact Yang Lin in advance, the company he bought in Hollywood is qualified for distribution, and see if we can give us a distribution in the United States. "He Guanchang is a person who always has the ability to take one step and see three steps, and use everything to the extreme.

Zou Wenhuai was silent for a while. Shen groaned and said: "It's okay, just to see if his thoughts and goals will take the opportunity to suppress us." But this "Dragon Brother and Tiger Brother" is a big production. Investing more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars and handing over the distribution rights in North America to him will be a little child's play? ”

He Guanchang shook his head and said: "If we take out 20 million, it will be called a big production, and people will invest hundreds of millions of dollars when they make a romance film." Yang Lin wouldn't look at it at all. Besides, even if it is handed over to someone else for distribution, what can it do? It's better to hand it over to Yang Lin, at least to show support and trust. ”

Zou Wenhuai nodded, remembering the dismal box office of Golden Harvest's movie in North America, and couldn't help but sigh again.

San Francisco Tang. People Street is the largest on the West Coast of the United States. Tang Dynasty. The street is also the largest outside of Asia. People community, the oldest history. Tang Dynasty. Located in the corner of a majestic and busy financial and business district, Renjie is an old district. The shophouses are relatively low, without the grandeur and grandeur of those foreigners' commercial buildings. But. Tourists still very much like to go to Tang. People shop and enjoy the atmosphere of oriental culture. In addition to the relatively cheap price, the shopping is also because the goods in its stores are like those in Southeast Asia, and you can eat, wear, use, and play all on one or two streets to achieve the purpose of tourists.

Tang Dynasty. The entrance to the street of people is in the cloth. At the southern end of Grant Street on Street, the gate is a medium. The Chinese-style archway, the green tile roof, several vivid dragons are very medium. The taste of the country. There is a grandson above the door frame of the archway. Middle. Mr. Shan's "the world is for the public" four big characters.

Yang Lin was standing at the bottom of this archway at this time, looking up at these big characters, and sighed in his heart. The tenacity and greatness of man. Looking along the street, the street is covered with Chinese red lanterns and full of Chinese lanterns. The signboard is written in Chinese, and everything you see is very medium. The traditional style of the country is decorated in every one. The national consciousness of the Chinese people will suddenly be sublimated. Chinese people are amazing, they can build a piece of their own land on other people's land!

Yang Lin looked back at Du Qingshan and Li Kaijun, who were shocked, and said proudly: "This is our territory!" Du Qingshan and Li Kaijun nodded their heads like chickens eating rice. Brad Pitt gave a thumbs up to indicate that he was in the middle . Praise and admiration of the Chinese people.

Walking around the Don. Person. The street is like going back to the old. Sea. The inside of the archway and the outside of the archway seem to be two completely different worlds. Distinctive signboards in both English and Chinese are hung horizontally on Tupan Street showing different events. The signs here are all in English and Chinese. The people here all speak Chinese, especially Cantonese. Eastern Cantonese is the main language here.

There are many gift shops, antique shops, Chinese medicine shops, Chinese medicine halls, ginseng shops, souvenir shops, Chinese restaurants, Western restaurants, craft shops, theaters, theaters, cultural centers, department stores, churches, theaters, bookstores, etc., showing the ancient and modern civilization of China.

Walking to the door of a Chinese restaurant, Yang Lin was seduced by the smell of shrimp dumplings and couldn't walk, so he raised his feet and walked in.

Entering the store, the Chinese-style wooden table, the glass bead roller blinds, and the mahogany counter seemed to be back in Hong Kong's "Lu Yu Tea Room". When the price of these snacks came up, Yang Lin rolled up his sleeves and beckoned the other three to eat.

While eating, a conversation on the table next to him attracted Yang Lin's attention.

"George Lucas has sent me an offer to his computer VFX studio, but I want to think about it, what do you think?"

George lucas? Computer VFX studio? Industrial Light & Magic! Coupled with the fact that they spoke Mandarin Chinese, Yang Lin's interest was immediately aroused.

In 1975, when Lucas set out to produce Star Wars, he was shocked that there was no ideal film effects production company in the country, so he decided to take on the role of this "magician" himself, and ILM (Industrial Light & Magic) was born. Time and again, Lucas has invested all the profits from his films into ILM, so that he can grow healthily in continuous technological innovation and exploration.

In the twenty-first century. ILM has grown from a studio that created special effects for films from traditional hand-drawn models to one of the largest and most advanced digital film effects production companies in the world. It is known for its own invention of design software, not only for Lucas's Star Wars. Indiana. Jones makes special effects, but also serves all the films that Hollywood needs. The special effects in the familiar films such as "The Love of Ghosts", "Forrest Gump", "Tornado", "The Abyss", "Jurassic Office Last Warrior II", and "Saving the GI" are all masterpieces of ILM.

That's right. Yang Lin came to San Francisco for the purpose of playing, which was to find Industrial Light & Magic to produce special effects shots for the movie "People and Ghosts".

Yang Lin turned his head to look at it, and he was a little stunned.

There were three young men sitting at that table. Young. People.

A guy with thick glasses was saying, "I'm not going, I'm a country. Home cultivated and learned the most advanced technology that I want to return. Country. Country. The home is still waiting for me to build. I'm not like you. You are free to choose your own work, but I have a responsibility, and I cannot abandon my responsibility. ”

Yang Lin was moved, really moved. This is the 80s, not the age of turtle swarms, every international student is a country. The wealth of the home, just after the end of the turmoil of the country. The family needs these people to dedicate their blood and youth. What a lofty ideal and personality is this? Some so-called scientists who are with Yang Lin's own family have turned their backs on the country. The family's behavior of cutting off father and son is simply scum.

The three of them were somewhat silent. They all ate xiaolongbao silently.

Yang Lin stood up and walked over under the surprised gazes of Du Qingshan, Li Kaijun and Brad Pitt. He smiled and said, "Hello, can you talk?" ”

The three young people who were eating were slightly stunned, and they all looked at the young people who were about the same age as them curiously, well, since they spoke Mandarin, they were a family. A young man in an old jacket stood up politely: "Hello, may I ask what is the matter?" ”

Yang Lin smiled and nodded to him, pulled a chair over the familiarity, sat down between the three of them, and said with a smile: "I'm a film director, and I just want to go to Industrial Light & Magic to make a few computer special effects shots." Overheard your conversation, how many of you were invited by ILM? ”

The young man with glasses nodded: "Yes, we both graduated from college this year, because we have a senior who is now working in Industrial Light & Magic, and he recommended us." ”

Yang Lin gave him a thumbs up: "I just heard your words, you are among us. The pride of the Chinese people, I am proud of you! One sentence quickly shortened the distance between the two sides, and they were strangers in the same place, and they soon became acquainted.

The bespectacled young man is called Guo Huajian, inland lake. Nanren, the one who wears the old jacket is called Fang Guanghua, the new. A native of Canada, and the other one with a split hair is called Mak Zi Nam, a native of Hong Kong.

All three of them are top students of computer design at Stanford, and they were invited by their seniors to come to San Francisco to participate in an interview with ILM, whose headquarters is at the Lightman Center for Digital Arts in San Francisco, California. But because Guo Huajian temporarily repented and thought that he should return to China after completing his studies, and Mai Zinan was not very optimistic about the future of Industrial Light and Magic, there was a little disagreement.

"Not optimistic about the future of ILM?" Yang Lin was relatively curious about this view, but then remembered that this was still 1985, and Industrial Light & Magic and George Lucas were not yet famous more than a decade later.

Mai Zinan nodded, probably thinking that Yang Lin could be regarded as a family, so he had nothing to hide, and said his opinion.

In 1983, the Star Wars trilogy came to an end, but George Lucas's family and company were crumbling under the impact of divorce.

It was a difficult time. George Lucas had to concentrate all his energy on caring for his young daughter, as well as the flaunting production company and ILM, and Star Wars' copyright revenue was a breath of fresh air. However, ILM "eats" a lot, and every time he finishes a film, he comes to Lucas and asks: "We need money to make another Star Wars." But this doesn't work, it should be the company serving George Lucas instead of George Lucas making money for the company, no one can hold it up like this, George Lucas has been exhausted by the "big-bellied child" of Industrial Light and Magic at this time, and almost went bankrupt.

In 1986, the interview for "Captain Io" was the solution to George Lucas's urgent need. "Captain Io" was written by the late singer Mike Io. A 3D sci-fi short film starring Le Jackson. The 17-minute musical film is produced and directed by Giorgio Lucas and Francesco Coppola respectively. The film September 1986 in the United States. It caused a sensation after its release, and the box office revenue was quite considerable, which gave George Lucas the money to continue to invest in industrial light and magic.

Doesn't that mean that this is the most difficult time for George Lucas and ILM? Yang Lin touched his smooth chin thoughtfully.

"Hey, I don't know what Mr. is called?" Mai Zinan saw that Yang Lin was a little distracted, and couldn't help but ask. The other two companions also think that Yang Lin is not very reliable, and you are still distracted when chatting? It's so rude.

Yang Lin woke up from his contemplation, and hurriedly took out his business card and distributed it to the three of them: "I'm a director, and I just bought a film company in Hollywood. ”

The three of them looked at this simple business card, there was nothing on it, only the name of "Yang Lin", and two lines of numbers, which were phone numbers in Hong Kong and the United States. The background of the business card is a glittering red star.

Mai Zinan took the business card, kept scratching his head, looked at Yang Lin again, and asked hesitantly: "You won't be the Yang Lin from Hong Kong Red Star Pictures, right?" (To be continued......)
