Chapter 169: Oh MyGod
PS: I'm sorry, I've been too busy these two days, so I'm just changing it now.
"Boss, you fought with Stallone and Schwarzenegger last night, who won?"
When he heard Xiao Ran's curious inquiry, Lin Yuquan was sitting comfortably on the flight from Los Angeles to San Francisco, looking at the clouds outside the window.
Last night's competition was more enjoyable than he imagined, it's been a long time since I've had such a pleasure, the last time I was filming "I Am a Special Forces", and Fang Yan and the elite special forces under him were very enjoyable, to be honest, he is not a violent person who advocates the use of force to solve problems, but compared to practicing boxing alone, it is really more exciting to fight against people, and when you defeat the opponent, you will have a deep sense of satisfaction, especially when the opponent is Stallone, Schwarzenegger and other Hollywood action superstars, this satisfaction is undoubtedly stronger.
It's a little regrettable that with his cultivation, his strength has improved more and more, and he can no longer let go of his hands and feet to have a good time, although the level of Stallone and Schwarzenegger is good, but it is only for ordinary people, and his skills are much worse than Lewis, you must know that a year and a half ago, he has been able to defeat Lewis and Muslim lightly. Abdulaev, let alone now, in the face of Stallone and others, who are not as good as the two, in the process of fighting, he is afraid of hurting the self-esteem of several people and taking care of them, he has been suppressing his strength, and it is difficult to fully enjoy it in the end.
"What do you think?" Lin Yuquan retracted his gaze looking out of the window, looked at Xiao Ran with a smile, and said casually.
"Of course I hope you win, boss." The meaning of Xiao Ran's words is self-evident, no one knows how strong Lin Yuquan is except himself, but Stallone and Schwarzenegger are world-renowned action superstars, as long as they have watched "First Blood" and "Terminator". Their image of an iron-blooded hunk man will suddenly be imprinted in their hearts, and after all these years, such an image has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. The two sides are in a big fight. It is estimated that no one will think that Lin Yuquan can win.
Of course, Lin Yuquan knew what Xiao Ran thought, because he was also an ordinary person, and before he got the memory of a cultivator, when he watched the movies of Bruce Lee, Stallone and others, his heart was also full of enthusiasm, and he felt that they were so powerful, and he would not think that a newly rising young man could compare to them, such thoughts were normal. It's a pity that Stallone and Schwarzenegger met themselves.
"I'm so unconfident, I thought you'd say of course I won, it seems that when, I'm going to fight you, or you don't have confidence in me."
"Boss, you spare me, how can I dare to fight you with my little arms and legs, but boss, did you really win? Boss, I'm not doubting your strength. It's just that I didn't expect the boss to be so strong, it was Stallone and Schwarzenegger, it's incredible. Xiao Ran said dryly.
"Let's talk about it. You still don't have confidence in me, pay attention to the media reports in the next few days, the media will definitely interview a few of them about this matter, and then you will know the battle between us, one-on-one, I will not lose. β
If the number is not enough, even if it is many against one, it will not lose, Lin Yuquan secretly added in his heart.
As long as you are not an idiot, you can hear the ease in Lin Yuquan's words. Obviously he didn't have too much effort to beat Stallone and Schwarzenegger, which is really amazing. Xiao Ran secretly spoke, although he knew that Lin Yuquan was powerful. But this kind of Cheng dΓΉ is far beyond his imagination, and if the news is really exposed as he said, it will definitely cause a huge sensation around the world.
Lin Yuquan, who was not a sensation, didn't care, remembering Stallone's unintentional emotion, a smile immediately appeared on his face: "What do you say will happen if we star in an enjoyable kung fu movie just for fighting?" β
Xiao Ran was stunned, seemed to be shocked, and didn't react for a while, with his understanding of Lin Yuquan, this is not just a casual question or a dream-like idea, think about Stallone, Schwarzenegger, Jason. Statham, Shang Ge. Winton, Bruce. Wesley appeared in the same movie, and the fist-to-flesh competition was so exciting that he couldn't help but gasp and said in a slightly hurry: "I think it will definitely make countless people crazy." β
The straight-line distance from Los Angeles to San Francisco is only more than 600 kilometers, which is not far away, and naturally it does not take long, 1 hour and five minutes, and the flight arrives at San Francisco International Airport. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that he needed to leave the United States directly after dealing with things, it would only take more than 5 hours to drive by himself, and he would prefer to rent a car by himself and enjoy the scenery along the way.
"Man, Luna C-Two Hotel in Marina, speed." As soon as he got out of San Francisco International Airport, Lin Yuquan, Xiao Ran, and Ning Zetao got into a taxi, and before coming, Xiao Ran booked a room at the Luna C-Two Hotel online.
βokγβ The young taxi driver made a gesture, started the car quickly, and went straight to the hotel without making any circles.
Luna C-Two Hotel is a very common motel in the United States, close to Lombard Avenue and the University of San Francisco, from the hotel, only a few minutes to reach the Presidio Theater and the Palace of Fine Arts, such an excellent location, of course, there is no shortage of food nearby, after checking in, Lin Yuquan and the three of them easily found a small scale, but relatively neat steak restaurant, and enjoyed a lunch with local characteristics.
"Let's make an appointment with each other at 2 p.m." After eating and drinking, Lin Yuquan stretched out in satisfaction, and then asked Xiao Ran.
"Hmm." Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"Then let's get ready to go!" Lin Yuquan looked at the time.
Xiao Ran immediately called the rental company and asked them to send a car over.
The convenient transportation environment is good, that is, in five minutes, the reserved taxi came to the outside of the restaurant, and the driver was a white middle-aged man.
"Lightman Center for Digital Art, Presidio District."
"Wow, you guys go to Lucasfilm, are you working in film?" The driver seemed very talkative and asked curiously.
In fact, this is not difficult to guess, and no one in the average person will run towards Lucasfilm, Lin Yuquan nodded with a smile.
"Oh, it's good to work in a film, my dream when I was young was to be an actor. also joined the Screen Actors Guild, but unfortunately after three years, there was never a decent opportunity. Later, the child was born, so I opened a rental for a living. Are you an actor, an investor, or a distributor? To be honest, looking at your appearance, they are definitely not actors, but you are very much like an actor, are you Chinese? I think you're a little familiar, maybe I've seen you in movies before. You don't know, my memory is very good, I can easily memorize any script lines, damn it, those directors dislike my appearance, is it my fault for my appearance? This is from parents, innate," the driver gushed out, although he asked Lin Yuquan, he didn't give him time to answer, and said to himself.
Under the continuous nagging of the driver. It seemed like a long journey that was not far away, but fortunately, we finally arrived at our destination.
Lucasfilm is the owner of George. Lucas founded the American film company in San Francisco, California, in 1971, and the company's most famous work is the Star Wars series. The lowest box office in the world, the six-part series that has already started shooting, is also as high as $475 million, but that was in 1983, considering inflation, it is equivalent to more than a billion dollars now, and without inflation, the highest-grossing one is "Star Wars Episode I: Phantom Crisis", which grossed as much as $924 million, ranking third in the global box office charts, only behind "Titanic" and "The Lord of the Rings 3: The Invincible". It is no exaggeration to say. The Star Wars franchise has become a symbol of science fiction and Lucasfilm, but it's not just Star Wars. Indiana. The Jones series is equally famous for its American style paintings, Indiana. The Jones series is Steven. The "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series directed by Spielberg. "American Painting" may be a little less famous, but remember that this autobiographical film directed by Lucas himself earned $145 million at a cost of only $780,000 in 1973, and also won five Academy nominations and a Golden Globe for Best Comedy Music Film. The horror of Lucasfilm can be seen in general.
Of course, this has nothing to do with Lin Yuquan, he didn't come to Lucasfilm to invest in the production of films, among the subsidiaries of Lucasfilm, the most famous is undoubtedly Industrial Light & Magic, and Industrial Light & Magic is of course the most famous is visual effects, this company was born in an old warehouse because Lucas shot the first "Star Wars" has long become the world's largest special effects production work, and everyone in the film industry knows it. Lin Yuquan said at the previous meeting that he was looking for a special effects company, and it was Industrial Light & Magic that he was looking for.
The Lightman Center for Digital Art was only completed this year, and in July, Lucasfilm moved most of its divisions and subsidiaries, including the marketing department, website management department, license management department, Industrial Light & Magic, and Lucas Art Ltd., to the area.
When they were in the car, Xiao Ran had already contacted the people of Industrial Light and Magic, so when Lin Yuquan and the three of them got out of the car, they immediately saw three middle-aged whites waiting at the door.
"Hello, Mr. Lin, I'm Carl, Stoker, the current general manager of Industrial Light & Magic, welcome to you." Cal. Stoke is a middle-aged man with a rather elegant temperament.
"Hello, Mr. Stoker, I'm really sorry that you came down to greet you, the special effects of my new film will trouble your company this time." Lin Yuquan shook hands with the other party with a smile.
"It is our honor for Mr. Lin to choose our Industrial Light & Magic, and I believe that we will soon have another masterpiece." Cal. Stoke smiled.
"Is it the Academy Award for Best Visual Effects? Then I'll see. Lin Yuquan also smiled, pointed to Xiao Ran and Ye Zetao behind him and said, "They are the director of our Shuguang Film Company in charge of publicity and distribution. Xiao, Zetao. Ye, who are these two? His gaze turned to Carl. The other two people next to Stoker.
"I'm glad I will." Cal. Stoke shook hands with Xiao Ran and Ye Zetao before saying, "This is Cliff, the chief technology officer of our Industrial Light & Magic. Plummer, who is VFX supervisor Kim Plum. Ribery. β
"Hello, nice to meet both."
"Hello, Kung Fu Lin, I don't mind if I call you that, my son is a die-hard fan of yours, and your kung fu is really great." Kim. Ribery laughed.
"Thank you."
"Hello, Mr. Lin, your special effects in "Red Cliff", I think you will definitely be nominated at this year's Oscars, but I believe that you chose ILM, and you will definitely not regret your decision today." Cliff. A smile on Plummer's face.
"Of course I do, because it's ILM."
Lin Yuquan's sonorous and powerful words immediately won the favor of the three of them.
Although it is always said that post-production special effects, in fact, special effects do not start after shooting, but like film shooting, starting from the sub-shot, when planning the script, the creator will let go of the imagination, jump out of the traditional linear thinking mode, completely break the concept of time and space, and create special effects, and in the process of the special effects company, the first will be customer communication and pre-setting work, the special effects company will do the pre-atmosphere map according to the customer's needs, and after finalization, the model and 3D department will start modeling according to the setting, textures, and rigging, and the need to work out which parts of the picture need to be filmed and what special effects to use, and which parts are left for post-computer processing, this process can be very tedious but crucial.
After a brief visit to the company, all the relevant personnel sat in the spacious and bright conference room of Industrial Light and Magic, at the beginning of the meeting, when talking about the preliminary setting, Lin Yuquan immediately took out a thick pile of materials in his handbag and put it in Kim. Ribery before.
Kim. Ribery thought it was just a storyboard script created by Lin Yuquan, but when he turned a few pages at random, his expression changed greatly, and then he retracted his smile and watched it intently, in the process, his mouth opened wider and wider, and finally he could put down an egg.
The Industrial Light & Magic personnel who didn't know the inside story looked at Kim in surprise. Ribery, I don't know why he behaved like this, Carlstock frowned even more casually, Kim is really, how can he not be regardless of the occasion? In front of the guests, this is too deceitful and detrimental to the image of ILM.
At this moment, Kim. Ribery slammed the table and yelled, "Oh, mygod." (To be continued) R466
