After hurrying up with the governor's wife, Song Ya returned to San Francisco, where Hayden chose his new home in Silicon Valley in Atherton, an upscale residential area near Stanford University.

Occasionally, I just came to a place to stay, except for privacy, there was no other big need, Hayden chose a lot located in the depths of the community, sheltered by woods, with a swimming pool, and the house size and house type are similar to the old houses in Hyde Park, and all of them were completed for less than 1.5 million.

"In addition to the new rich in the Silicon Valley tech industry, there are also some old money, such as John Alilaga, who sold the land to the American music website, and of course his house is manor-style, which is much, much more expensive than here."

Hayden incarnated as a real estate agent one by one, this guy from a car salesman doesn't look at his own work ability, the real estate he is looking for for himself has not depreciated, of course, it is mainly related to the economic environment.

In the evening, he summoned the executives of A+ Apparel in San Francisco, A+ Pedal, A+ Liquor, A+ Audio, 3DFX in San Jose, and A+ Venture Capital to recognize the door.

Reese, who manages A+ Liquor, and Scott, the president of A+ Clothing, quarreled again not long after they met, and it was still an old problem, after Song Yaqiang ordered A+ Clothing to use the profits of soft sister coins to transfuse blood from A+ Liquor's production base in China, the two of them have been in conflict over equity distribution and the use of funds.

The personal relationship between these two guys is completely finished, and the kind that can't be saved, Song Ya asked Delai to stare at the point and put his hand away, "I heard that the price of VOODOO graphics cards is too high?" "His main accountability target is the 3DFX trio.

"yes, those damn board makers!"

The trio had the same rhetoric as Dr. May, but the emotions were much more agitated, "They're playing price leagues, shameless little tricks!" And those memory manufacturers, NEC, Hitachi, Micron, Samsung, Hyundai, LG...... The book and the Silla people all deserve to die! ”

"There is no way for the time being, in short, we will definitely be able to complete the listing task at the specified time node."

President Ballard was calmer, he took out a few games and IT magazines, "After a series of games and IT exhibitions in the first half of the year, the market's expectations for our products are very high, you can't imagine how crazy the game industry and the graphics card industry are to our VOODOO1, APLUS, we have no competing products, and other peers can only eat our exhaust." ”

"Yes, yes, we've overdone." The trio collectively nodded in agreement.

"I've been paying attention." Song Ya nodded his head, "I know that you are popular now, but the first priority of running a company is to make a profit, don't forget that." ”

"Of course, of course, we know, we know, don't worry."

The trio continues to peck at rice in front of the hip-hop star.

"Hmm."

Song Ya just wanted to warn them, and Dr. Mei also said that this brother is very bad at work, and he has been working overtime for a long time in order to ship before June.

At this time, Yeremov called, "Boss, the plan has changed, you may need to join the group in advance." ”

"Why?" It's going to throw your plans up completely.

"ILM said that some special effects will take a long time, and most of them are related to the scenes where you appear, so Catherine and I both think that the sooner you get involved in the shooting, the better." Yeremov replied.

"Okay."

Song Ya also knows that with a series of special effects blockbusters such as True Lies and Jurassic Park conquering cities around the world, the film industry now finally dares to spend a lot of money on visual effects.

According to what Mira told herself, Luc Besson claimed that 80 million of the 90 million budget for the Fifth Element project would be used to make special effects, so much so that after she learned that the male protagonist Bruce Willie took a pay cut and observed the rough set layout of the crew, she thought for a long time that the French director was pursuing her to boast and exaggerate the production costs.

As a superhero film with a budget of less than 30 million and more inclined to a live-action plot, Blade Warrior will probably give 10 million knives and hands to the special effects company Industrial Light & Magic, which is still an excellent friendship price for Catherine and George Lucas.

"Are you free tomorrow?" After hanging up the phone, he asked the 3DFX trio.

"What's the matter?"

"Let's go to ILM HQ?"

"Yes, yes."

The headquarters of Industrial Light and Magic is also in San Francisco, and the group went very conveniently, exporting the Star Wars series, George Lucas, who had a profound influence on the people of the United States, was busy with projects in Hollywood, and the four of them took a brief tour under the leadership of the staff.

"This is the project team we docked with Blade......"

The special effects guys here all use SGI's professional graphics workstations, and they have a common language with the trio who have worked at SGI, "You see, the most important special effects demo is being played." ”

Blade is a guy who specializes in slashing vampires, according to the screenwriter David Goyer and Marvel's setting, vampires will turn into dust after being slashed by his katana, and now the demonstration is how to achieve the steps, a real life model body gradually shatters, the skin first turns into dust, revealing the bones inside, and then the bones are also wiped out until they disappear completely.

Technology is advancing so fast, Song Ya remembers that MJ's MV for Remember The Time seemed to cost millions, and the special effects were far inferior to the demo in front of him.

"Each frame took longer to render than we expected, so ...... The sooner we get the raw material, the better. The special effects boss in charge of the demonstration said.

Song Ya stared at the SGI graphics workstation for a moment, recalling how the trio had been tricked into the semiconductor industry......

"Uh, what technology did you use to do that?" The trio hurriedly interrupted.

There was no way, his company's project was starring himself, and Song Adam had no choice but to revise the schedule.

Los Angeles, San Marino, after three weeks of filming of the black film produced by Xue Linfen, Song Ya sent little Robb back by the way, "It's better for you to come, I'm too busy, let me be a nanny, Aunt Susie still likes him so much, she often visits." ”

Song Ah pushed her son in front of her.

"Is it bad for him to be liked by Susie?" Xue Linfen frowned.

"Bichi!" Little Robb laughed and shouted at her.

"Now you know why, right?" Song Ya smiled bitterly.

"Looks like I don't have a holiday, come here!" Xue Linfen grabbed her son's little hand and strode him into the room.

"Forgive me, I'm helpless." Song Ya was a little reluctant to hear her son's crying, "I'll go to Hollywood to have a crew preparation meeting, and I'll come back in the evening!" He shouted inside.

"Go ahead."
