Next chapter

The short film was shot in two days, and Lin Johnson and the boy Joe are facing real laptops and mobile phones.

Of course, Lin Qiangsheng has no problem, even if the laptop in front of him is a good thing, and there is nothing on the screen, he seems to be really operating on a real notebook, as if there is really someone talking to him on the screen.

It wasn't so easy for Joe, the boy was only six years old, and he had never seen a big-screen mobile phone. Lin Qiangsheng coaxed him with Qiao's mother, and took the trouble to explain what the boy should do.

Filming the scene at the dinner table, "his" son snatched the phone, opened the game, and pretended to press back and forth on the screen, smiling exaggeratedly, as if the "game" had really begun.

Finally, the shooting was completed, and Joe's mother Julia hurriedly walked over, and Joe immediately left the fake phone and threw herself into her mother's arms.

Lin Qiangsheng walked over and said to Julia: "Joe is very smart, your son is such a good boy, thank you!" ”

Julia stroked her son's soft hair and said with a smile, "I've always been proud of him!" ”

Seeing that Lin Qiangsheng turned his head, the boy pouted and skimmed his face, Lin Qiangsheng said: "Finally the filming is over, I want to thank you very much." Joe, you can make a request to me, and I will try to satisfy you, what do you want to do? ”

Julia looked at her son, Joe turned her head, and the little boy innocently asked, "Can I go to school?" ”

Julia's face changed, and she hurriedly said to him, "We'll go to school tomorrow!" ”

She said helplessly to Lin Qiangsheng: "Joe misses his friends at school very much, but we also need money, and it's not cheap to go to a good school!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and asked Qiao, "Do you like Star Wars?" ”

Joe recalled, smiled and nodded, "Yes, I like Luke!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled: "I can accompany you to visit the "Star Wars" studio and props library. That's where it was born, and there's a lot of new stuff you're going to love! ”

Joe asked curiously, "Is there a laser sword?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded. Said: "Yes, and Sith warriors in armor! ”

Joe looked at her mother. Julia nodded happily to him, and the little boy danced with joy and giggled.

This is the last scene, the exterior has been filmed, Lin Johnson and Julia discussed, she thinks it is not bad to take her son to see the filming location of "Star Wars", but the only worry is that Joe is already a little tired, I'm afraid I can't go today.

Lin Qiangsheng said: "This is not a problem. I can book a high-end hotel for you in Fannoos, and I will pay for everything. You can rest for half a day, we will visit again in the afternoon, stay in the hotel in the evening, and I will send you a car tomorrow morning! ”

Julia didn't expect this kind of good thing, her son filmed two scenes, that is, 1,000 US dollars, which is a very generous price given by Lin Johnson, and the cost of staying in a high-end hotel is not low, so she has no objections. took his son and went to Fannus City with Lin Qiangsheng.

Lin Qiangsheng is already familiar with the employees of ILM, in the production of props and animation. He watched a lot of the process of making zuò. From the design to the sample, he basically followed, gave a lot of advice, and the staff completely followed his ideas and turned the things on the drawings into real objects.

Due to the tight schedule, the laptop was directly replaced with the Toshiba T1100, which is a laptop that Toshiba just released this year. For the sake of need, it has been sprayed black in its entirety, and the keyboard is retained. The screen is doubled in height and extends back to make room for a large chunk. It looks even better.

And the mobile phone is very easy to make, and I directly found a similar LCD screen. Put it in the slot of the prop and glue it and paint it black. The trip computer is also made in this way, which is very simple.

The most difficult part was to create the display content with computer animation, which relied on the cooperation of Lasseter's animation department and Kamel's computer department.

In fact, these two departments should be considered a large department, a bit like a subsidiary of Lucasfilm. Lucas had a lot of managerial skills, and he set up subsidiaries in different parts of the company, the special effects company called Industrial Light & Magic, the entertainment game company called Lucas Art Ltd., and Lucasfilm was responsible for the production and distribution of films.

Incidentally, Lucasfilm has been working with Disney to distribute films.

Lin Johnson had more contact with Kamle, and he came up with the idea of buying the computer animation division.

Kammel is the vice president and de facto head of this department, and he is very interested in Lin's acquisition, mainly because Lucas has invested a lot of money in the computer animation department before, hoping that this department will generate benefits for him, but after all, the film industry is still relatively new to computer animation and is relatively resistant. Hollywood's well-developed film industry, on the contrary, has become the biggest obstacle to new technologies.

Lin Qiangsheng's short film is also the first business that Camel received outside of the film company, he has been troubled by the lack of investors, if there is no investment, there is no guarantee of everyone's jobs, the boss is the boss, Lucas needs employees to create zào benefits for him.

Lin Johnson invited Jamie Curtis to Fannus, he admires the actress very much, it stands to reason that Jamie should belong to the rich second generation, but she does not have a pampered temperament at all, but is easy to get along with.

In the afternoon, the four of them, accompanied by Lucas, visited the huge warehouse of Industrial Light & Magic, where a lot of Star Wars props were displayed, which made Joe very happy, as if he had dug up a treasure.

"Mom, what do you think this is?" Joe has a metal grip in his hand, and the little one needs to hold it up with both hands to hold it.

Lin Qiangsheng smiled: "Little Skywalker, have you found your weapon?" ”

Qiao innocently pressed the handle, and his cute appearance made everyone laugh, he thought that this laser sword was broken, and looked at his mother and the laughing adults suspiciously.

Julia didn't know how to answer her son, so she could only look at him helplessly, and Lin Qiangsheng said, "Well, maybe it's out of power!" ”

Qiao looked at Lin Qiangsheng and his mother, pursed his lips, and said, "Lin, you lied to me, this is just like those props, it's fake!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng was embarrassed all of a sudden, and in the face of the little boy's questioning, he could only smile awkwardly and said, "Then there is black armor, it's more fun!" ”

Joe lowered the hilt of his sword and saw the armor in the direction of his finger, and he staggered over, Julia following him.

Jamie Curtis smiled and said to Lin Johnson: "Lin, you shouldn't deceive children, they are very sensitive in their hearts and can understand everything!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and shook his head, and said to Jamie: "But these can't be explained clearly to the child, then he will lose a lot of fun watching "Star Wars" in the future!" ”

Jamie thought about it, and also felt that Lin Qiangsheng had some truth, and Lucas said to Lin Qiangsheng: "Then let them discover for themselves, no one knows what everyone will think when they watch "Star Wars", which is the charm of this film!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said, "That's right, maybe Joe will become a scientist in the future and have a strong interest in exploring the universe, or he will become a novelist and fantasize about the future." I think a great film can give people beautiful vision and hope, and that's its charm! ”

"Thank you for the compliment!" Lucas said with a knowing smile. (To be continued.) )
