It is naturally a happy thing that the ratings of "Evil Force" have achieved the expected success, and the happiest thing is that the "730" theater has achieved initial success, and in the second week of the investment reception, it got an advertising contract of 8 million US dollars.

Although there is a big gap between $8 million and "The Voice of America" is often hundreds of millions of dollars, this is a good start, "730" is a column that focuses on American dramas, and it is more difficult for him to build a brand, at least don't expect a drama to establish a reputation. Just like the domestic Jade Emperor TV, it was also established through 7-8 excellent dramas in a row.

For this reason, Chen Lin threw out the "American drama feast" at the TV conference work conference. Ji Luhua filmed three American dramas from the second half of 99 to 2000, namely: "Vampire Diaries", "4400", and "Lost".

Chen Lin threw the outline of these three American dramas to Lawrence and ordered him to register the intellectual property rights first, and the task of the TV drama department this year and next year is to produce four American dramas, including "The Power of Evil".

With these four American dramas in hand, the "730" theater will also be able to make a name for itself, thereby boosting the overall ratings of the TV station.

After explaining these tasks, Chen Lin unloaded the work burden of the TV station and handed it over to Lawrence's team, and he and Liu Dehua went to California together to attend the premiere press conference of the "Grim Reaper" animation.

The three-dimensional animation "Grim Reaper" finally came out after 6 months.

Pixar's premiere press conference was held at the University of Southern California's George Brown Start. Held in the Lucas School Building.

Chen Lin has participated in many ceremonies, and originally had no expectations for this press conference, but he didn't expect the surprise to come soon.

There was a long line at the entrance of the University of Southern California to the Lucas Building. There are thousands of people, 99% of whom are Chinese, not only Chinese students from the University of Southern California, but also students from other universities in California, as well as the elderly and children in the crowd, all of whom are Chinese who have settled in California.

Thousands of people lined up in a long line. Each of them either holds a comic poster or a portrait of Chen Lin and Liu Dehua, and some children also hold a five-star red flag in their hands.

When Chen Lin and Liu Dehua got out of the car, the crowd suddenly erupted in cheers. Listen closely, they are all calling out the names of both of them.

"Brother Hua, I didn't expect us to enjoy the treatment of a national leader." Chen Lin and Liu Dehua glanced at each other, and the two were also surprised that the scene in front of them was usually only visited by dignitaries from some countries, and it would be welcomed by the Chinese in such a grand manner.

The two of them were surprised, and at the same time felt a strong warmth, this is a foreign country, and it is indeed touching to see so many compatriots.

While walking towards the press conference, they waved to the Chinese compatriots, and the two also wanted to shake hands with the compatriots. Two sentences of condolences and the like, but today I came to participate in the event, and it is not good to be late for the delay, so I can only wave and bow to apologize to everyone.

The two did not stop and walked into the Lucas school building. As soon as I walked in, I saw George. Lucas greeted him.

"Jason, Andy, you're here just in time, I'll introduce you to a few friends." As soon as they met, Lucas began to introduce several invited guests around him.

"This is Lang of "Fire Ambition", "Kidnapping Order", and "Apollo 13". Directed by Howard. ”

"Hello Director Howard, my name is Jason. Old. ”

As soon as Chen Lin heard Lang. Howard's eyes lit up with the name, and he knew the name of this Hollywood first-line director.

Howard is one of the few Hollywood companies who can be popular with studios at the same time. A director who has been recognized by the academy. Because his films are both good and meaningful. Chen Lin has seen two of the most famous films he directed are "A Beautiful Mind" and "The Da Vinci Code". Of course, these two films have not yet been born.

Lucas also introduced another big-name director, Robert Forrest Gump, the director of "Forrest Gump". Zemeckis.

The atmosphere of conversation was still very harmonious, and they exchanged business cards with each other.

Chen Lin felt that he had gained a lot from coming to the ceremony this time to meet several Hollywood directors, and his contacts were accumulated bit by bit.

After a few pleasantries. I went up to a large lecture hall on the second floor, which was already full of people, including school teachers and students, as well as media reporters.

The pedestrian walked into the classroom and was immediately greeted with applause. Suddenly, Liu Dehua touched Chen Lin: "Linzi, you see there are reporters from domestic TV stations over there." ”

After a look, Chen Lin really saw TV reporters holding CCTV, Phoenix Satellite TV, and Hunan Satellite TV logos. He also saw an acquaintance among reporters, Mei Dong, a famous anchor of Hu*nan Satellite TV.

The two hurriedly waved to the domestic media reporters, and at this moment, when they saw these familiar station logos, they both had different feelings in their hearts, and they felt very cordial.

The two felt cordial and the feelings of the three domestic media reporters were even more complicated, Mei Dong, a reporter from Hunan TV station, because Chen Lin was from Hunan, he had a feeling of pride in his heart, just like his own children were smart and smart, which would be unanimously praised and envied by his neighbors.

The two reporters, Phoenix Satellite TV and CCTV, have a sense of pride and freshness in their hearts. Usually they cover major current affairs news abroad, usually with national leaders, but it is indeed rare to cover entertainment news like today, and it is also very rare to see Chinese stars on the scene of Hollywood-dominated entertainment news.

Now there are four more famous Chinese stars abroad, in addition to Bruce Lee, Chen Long, Jet Li, Zhou Runfa and so on. One is Liu Dehua and half is Chen Lin, because he is a celebrity and can only be called half a star.

"Andy, I love you." Just as Chen Lin and the others waved to reporters, a blonde and blue-eyed American female student in the audience shouted loudly and ran onto the stage with a bouquet of flowers.

Standing on the edge of the podium, the two security guards saw that the schoolgirl was not threatening, and kindly did not stop her from coming up and giving flowers to the idol.

"Andy, I'm your fan, I like you so much, this flower is for you."

"Xie Lu Xie, you are as beautiful as a flower. May I know your name? ”

"Hee-hee~~ My name is Angela, Andy, can you sign it for me?"

"Hehe, of course you can."

Liu Dehua happily signed his name on Angela's notepad, "Andy, I will always support you, come on." Angela happily took her notebook and ran off the stage.

After such a small episode, soon the premiere ceremony of the "Grim Reaper" animation began, this press conference is not only to promote "Bleach ", Pixar also used this to show a lot of cutting-edge CG animation techniques, such as Pixar showed a set of advanced motion capture techniques, which can perfectly reproduce the various movements of real people and animals, which opened everyone's eyes.

After watching it, Liu Dehua whispered in Chen Lin's ear and sighed in Chinese: "Lin Zi, after looking at people's skills, I know that our Hong Kong film is backward, and the Hong Kong film company is becoming less and less enterprising now, which company is willing to invest in these techniques?" When did we have this set of motion capture technology in China? ”

"Hehe, Brother Hua, there is a big gap between us and the Americans in terms of technology, but there is no need to be presumptuous, as long as we realize the gap and work hard, we can catch up." Chen Lin said with a smile: "We will have motion capture technology in less than three years, and I have a company that is studying this technology." ”

"What you said is true?" Liu Dehua couldn't help but be curious when he heard Chen Lin's words.

Chen Lin smiled and said that he and Nicholas Tse jointly funded and founded a "PO Chaoting" technology company focusing on the research and development of computer special effects, which is very inconspicuous, so few people know about it.

The reason why he is sure that he will be able to develop a set of motion capture technology within three years is based on the participation of Google's engineers.

"Lin Zi, you are even engaged in computer technology, I can be regarded as convincing you." Liu Dehua couldn't help but patted Chen Lin on the shoulder and exclaimed.

Chen Lin smiled and said nothing about Brother Hua's amazement, the two deserted for a while, and then put their minds on the press conference again, one of the two is the original author of the animation, and the other is the image spokesperson of the animation, which is naturally the focus of the release, and many questions from reporters are also aimed at the two.

The press conference lasted for two hours, and Pixar had a cocktail party at noon.

At the reception, Lucas delivered a message to Chen Lin, the owner of Pixar and the head of Apple Computer, Steve Jobs, to meet him.

The appointment of the famous Qiao gang leader naturally couldn't be shirked, and Chen Lin was originally going to go back to Hong Kong with Brother Hua that night. Now only Brother Hua can go first, and he will leave after the appointment. (To be continued......)
