Chapter 213, George. Lucas One

People are social creatures, and there are natural exchanges between people, and in these exchanges, there are all kinds of circles, and a person's achievement is inevitably related to the circle of your communication.

The VIP customers of Midea Company are the same circle as the VIP customers of Citigroup, HSBC and other banks, and they are the real upper-class circles in the United States, and the people who enter are at least billionaires, and as long as they enter such a circle, they can slowly get in touch with the upper class society in the United States.

Now that Lei Weidong has begun to take such a circle, it is much better than another time and space tycoon Zou who can't get in touch with this level, and the main reason is the problem of money.

Although Zou Tycoon is making movies in Hollywood with a lot of money, he is ridiculed by many people as being stupid and having a lot of money, but in the eyes of those Hollywood tycoons, Zou Tycoon's approach is not pediatric, and he can't go to the level at all.

The main reason is that Zou Daheng is not worth enough.

If nothing else, just like Lei Weidong, who threw 60 million US dollars to buy things, Zou Tycoon couldn't do it.

According to Zou Tycoon's net worth, he didn't have so much money even if he sold Golden Harvest, Zou Tycoon's so-called investment of 60 million US dollars to make a movie in the United States is just a slogan, and 60 million dollars is not an investment, how can it cost 60 million US dollars just for tax rebates like Lei Weidong.

And in the United States, money is the measure of a person's strength.

Like Midea's VIP customers, billionaires are the lowest standard, and the threshold is constantly increasing with the development of the economy, and this standard is worth at least one billion dollars in the 21st century.

The value of money has depreciated too much.

Industrial magic was very famous in later generations, and was the first special effects company in Hollywood, producing special effects for a large number of Hollywood films, but it was very shabby when he was first established.

In the early days, it was Lucas who chose an old warehouse in Fannous, California, where ILM or industrial magic was born.

Because of the successful production of "Star Wars", in this era when special effects are still in their infancy and many Hollywood companies have not even established special effects departments, Industrial Magic can be said to have become the world's largest special effects production company

It can also be said that Lucas pioneered the special effects industry for films.

Some of them are engaged in architecture, some are modelling, some are shooting commercials, some are playing mechanical design, and almost none of them have ever engaged in filmmaking.

There are also certain advantages to such a composition, because everyone has nothing to do with the movie, so this energetic group is full of hippie spirit, completely escaped from the constraints of the system, and can empty their imagination.

It is this kind of personnel composition that allows Industrial Magic to break the tradition of Hollywood movies and develop the special effects industry, that is, in the large warehouse of Industrial Light & Magic, Lucas and his team began the journey of Star Wars, which changed the world.

Now, although the success of Star Wars has made industrial magic famous overnight, industrial magic is still nested in the original big warehouse for creation, and I didn't think about moving, in Lucas's words, every money for industrial magic now has to be used for special effects, as for those flashy appearances, now industrial magic is not needed.

Seeing the shabby appearance of the industrial magic in front of him, Lei Weidong, who came for the first time, almost thought that he had gone to the wrong place.

This so-called world's No. 1 special effects company is actually in a large warehouse, and the appearance is similar to that of an ordinary scrap acquisition company, which seems to be really polarized in the United States, and those business people are eager to spend every penny on the appearance of their company to show their strength.

And those technical men can be said to never pay attention to their appearance, and every penny is spent on technological innovation.

For example, Lei Weidong used to go to Apple, like Microsoft, where almost everyone has a beard and has never been rough in appearance, not because they like it, but because these technical men don't have time to tidy up their appearance.

In the words of later generations, these technocratics are the kind of people who only make money and don't enjoy life.

However, George. Lucas and Spielberg are obviously not such pure technicians, the business talents of the two can be counted in the entire Hollywood, for Lei Weidong, a big Kaizi from the East, no, it should be a monopoly Both of them attach great importance to it, and they know that Lei Weidong is coming over today, so the two of them greeted Lei Weidong at the door in advance.

Of course, because of the pragmatism of the Americans, the two of them did not have any welcome ceremony, and there were no flowers and beauties, let alone children offering flowers and saluting.

"Harry Potter, long time no see, I miss you." Spielberg happily hugged Lei Weidong and said, "You finally came to the United States, I thank you for all the flowers I waited for!."

"Stephen, I haven't seen you for a few days, don't hold it so tightly, I'm out of breath."

Foreigners have a heavy body odor, and in order to cover up, they often have to wear heavy perfumes. Lei Weidong's nose was very smart, Spielberg didn't know what to wipe on his body, he choked his nose, so smoked that Lei Weidong almost didn't dare to gasp, and hurriedly broke free from his embrace.

If the person holding Lei Weidong is a blonde beauty, Lei Weidong can still bear it, and the man's words are exempt, Lei Weidong is not glass.

"This is the investor I mentioned, Harry Potter. Ray, this is the great Hollywood director, George. Lucas, the director of the sci-fi blockbuster "Star Wars", grossed more than $400 million at the North American box office. "Stephen. Spielberg introduced the two of them separately.

George. Lucas is one of Hollywood's most bizarre directors, having directed several limited works during his lifetime, including the autobiographical American Landscape and the Star Wars series.

But it is these works that have made him one of the most well-known directors in Hollywood, and the movie "Star Wars" is still talked about by fans in the 21st century, and countless merchandise has been derived. Costumes, props, cards, video games, and so on, have become a part of American culture.

And George. Lucas has also made billions of dollars as a result, and it can be said that the whole of Hollywood is like George. Lucas is so lucky, and he is such a rich director.

You must know that Lucas's dream in his youth was actually to be a racing car driver, and he had little interest in movies, but a few days before graduating from high school, he was in a car accident and was seriously injured, but miraculously escaped death.

After the car accident, the immortal George . Lucas stopped racing and played movies, so he was admitted to the film department of the University of Southern California, and as a result, he made a splash in his first film class, and then went to work at Warner Bros. Pictures during the holidays, where he met Francis Coppola, the director who is famous all over the world for filming "The Godfather".

At that time, Coppola was already well-known in Hollywood, and he not only put George . Lucas recruited his own film crew and helped him find a job writing scripts, and after Lucas wrote the script, he became the director himself and made it into a movie, although there was no box office, but it had a good reputation.
