Before Elias could finish speaking, Francisco Coppola turned to him and said, "This is Hollywood!"

The meaning of Hollywood between Coppola and Elias was completely different. Elias wanted to use his power to overwhelm others in Hollywood and make Song Yang suffer.

And Coppola, who is a veteran of the world, told Elias that in a vanity fair like Hollywood, there is nothing that cannot be sold. Judging from the amount of chips, with the weight of the Elias family, it is really

You have to be careful. If someone from Hollywood sells it to Song Yang, I'm afraid they'll still be helping count the money!

"We should participate in Bruno Song's film project, but we should not damage the relationship with the Bruno family." Francisco Coppola said.

Francisco Coppola, a bunch of veterans, is not as impatient as Elias, who only wants to make a fortune. A top rich man is of great significance to Italians in Hollywood. As long as Song Yang can stand in Hollywood.

With a firm foothold, the Italians will have another backer in Hollywood.

But now, Song Yang is not too close to them, and Elias and the Italians in Hollywood obviously want to make a lot of money this time, or get some important roles!

After hearing Francisco Coppola's words, Elias spread his hands helplessly. He really felt that Coppola's people were already old.

Elias believes that when Song Yang comes to Hollywood, he should follow their rules, just like the Italian gangs more than ten years ago. Anyone who enters their territory must pay them fees according to their rules.

.

Even if they are Italians, they may give them some care, but the rules cannot be broken. But now Francisco Coppola and the others have no intention of asking Song Yang to abide by the rules. Instead, they seem to want to support letting Song Yang obey the rules.

The meaning of Song Yang's decision made Elias feel dissatisfied.

When he entered Hollywood, he also followed a lot of rules. As soon as Song Yang came in, Francisco Coppola and others gave up this rule for him. This was a bit difficult for Elias to accept. More importantly,

, in this way, he will not be able to make a big fortune in this movie project!

The car drove all the way to the workplace of Lucasfilm. The film studio where various thrilling and gorgeous scenes were filmed was actually like a factory, far less sci-fi than in the movie.

Lucasfilm and Industrial Light & Magic also attach great importance to Song Yang's arrival. The bearded George Lucas, who created the legendary "Star Wars" series of movies in America, knows that Song Yang wants to

I attended the Industrial Light and Magic studio and personally brought several executives from Industrial Light and Magic to meet Song Yang.

When Song Yang comes to Hollywood this time, there are quite a few people who are eyeing his money bag. Although the movie project has not yet been revealed, there is already a lot of buzz, and everyone thinks that Song Yang may make a big splash this time.

, after all, if the upstarts of the Internet arrive in Hollywood and are young and rich, they will definitely have to spend a lot of money...

"Song, welcome to Industrial Light & Magic!"

After George Lucas saw Song Yang, he hugged Song Yang and others. Lucas was not as rough as he seemed, and was quite warm to Song Yang and others.

In his early years, when he first entered the industry, Lucas was promoted by Francisco Coppola. Although he is now close to Spielberg and other Jews, he also has a pretty good relationship with Italians in Hollywood.

"Dennis Mullen, technical director of Industrial Light and Magic..."

"Ed Camour, the first synthesized CG special effects in Hollywood, was completed by Ed!"

George Lucas introduced the talents of Industrial Light and Magic to Song Yang. Industrial Light and Magic holds up half of the special effects industry in Hollywood. People like Dennis and Ed are currently the best in Hollywood and even in the film industry around the world.

Master of computer special effects technology.

Song Yang, Gallo and others followed George Lucas and visited the factory office of Industrial Light and Magic. When they heard that all the special effects for movies were produced here, Gallo and others really felt like Grandma Liu had entered the Grand View Garden.

.

"This is a video editing system studio, a film laser scanner..."

The first thing we visited was the huge computer studio, with rows of computers, which made people feel like they were in Silicon Valley rather than Hollywood.

"Pixar Studio's first computer-animated short film, "The Adventures of Andrew and Willy," was completed here. Star Wars, Terminator, Jurassic Park, Forrest Gump and other movie special effects were all created here!

"

Dennis Mullen told Song Yang about the impressive record of Industrial Light and Magic. If you want to create visually stunning special effects movies, you should come to Industrial Light and Magic. This is already a common practice in Hollywood.

What supports the special effects of Industrial Light and Magic movies are not the models and props, but the professional-level film systems and patents developed by Industrial Light and Magic!

Unlike other people who come to Industrial Light & Magic and rush to see the over-the-top prop room, Song Yang spent more than half an hour in the computer department of Industrial Light & Magic, setting up the digital audio editing system, digital picture synthesis system, etc.

, experienced it all over again, and then stood up still unsatisfied.

These film processing systems, as well as those patents, are the accumulation of decades of industrial light and magic, and they are also the most valuable heritage of industrial light and magic. Even if you want to build a similar special effects studio, the most difficult thing is not to find technical personnel, but these

Film processing systems and patents cannot be completed in a short time by spending money!

After leaving the computer studio, Song Yang followed George Lucas and others to visit the production plant for prop models. Once inside, character models that had appeared in various movies appeared in front of him. These gadgets were all industrial.

The prop master of Light and Magic made it himself.

As for the awards that Industrial Light and Magic has received, not to mention, as long as you talk about technical trophies, Oscars and overseas film festivals, almost all of them have been won by Industrial Light and Magic. The Oscar technology award, for Industrial Light and Magic

Speaking of which, it’s already a bit of a mess!

After the visit, Song Yang, Lucas and others entered the office. Lucas asked Song Yang, "There are media reports in Hollywood. Song, are you planning to invest in an Internet-style science fiction movie in Hollywood?"

Industrial Light and Magic executives such as Dennis Mullen and Ed Kammuer also looked at Song Yang enthusiastically. They were so active today because they wanted to win this big order.

The landlords don’t have enough money to spare. The Industrial Light and Magic family has a great business. It can do special effects technology, but it is too expensive. Generally speaking, it is not a big movie production, and basically they will not come to Industrial Light and Magic. To put it bluntly,

The actions that the special effects technicians in those movies can complete would probably cost several times more if replaced by a special effects studio. Therefore, some movies would rather let the special effects technicians take risks than use computer special effects synthesis.

"There is this plan. As early as last year, I mentioned to Kevin Kelly that we would make a movie about Internet culture!"

Song Yang did not veto, but directly admitted that the purpose of coming to Hollywood this time was to prepare for the "Matrix" project. Industrial Light and Magic was unavoidable and its special effects technology was definitely needed.

"The movie project is still under preparation. This movie may require a lot of special effects. I think it needs technical support from Industrial Light and Magic!"

Song Yang said it directly. Although there are no scripts, directors, actors, producers, etc., it does not prevent Song Yang from drawing a big pie first.

"What kind of special effects are needed?" Ed Kamul couldn't help but asked first.

Song Yang smiled and said nothing, and did not say it directly. The biggest special effects selling point of The Matrix is ​​"bullet time". It has been imitated by almost countless major movies in later generations.

After finishing speaking, Song Yang quietly probed towards Lucas, "Director Lucas, I know that Industrial Light and Magic is the best film special effects company in Hollywood, and even in the world. I don't know if Industrial Light and Magic has any

Financing plan?!"

Hearing Song Yang suddenly mention this, George Lucas couldn't help but smile. He didn't know why Song Yang suddenly mentioned this.

However, George Lucas shook his head firmly without thinking too much, "Industrial Light and Magic was founded by me. Like Lucasfilm, it is all my hard work over the years!"

Lucas's intention is very clear, that is, he does not want to sell these two companies now. Lucas can rely on Star Wars movies to support Industrial Light and Magic, although the profit is not enough.

If not, Industrial Light and Magic, as Hollywood's hot cakes, would have already been swooped in by major film giants to take a bite.

Song Yang seemed to be asking casually, without saying much more, and stretched out his hand to George Lucas, "I hope to cooperate with Industrial Light and Magic!"

Watching Song Yang and the rest of the group hurriedly leave Industrial Light and Magic after a quick tour, George Lucas looked at Song Yang's figure and couldn't help but fell into deep thought. He was warm to Song Yang this time, except for the so-called

In addition to having a good impression of Italians and being a good friend of Spielberg, DreamWorks also wanted to take over Song Yang's film project.

But looking at Song Yang, Lucas suddenly felt that this time the people in Hollywood had made a mistake. What if Song Yang was not the fat in the eyes of the hungry wolves in Hollywood, but a dragon crossing the river?

!

At least since Song Yang personally visited Industrial Light & Magic today and got to experience the film processing system, he doesn't seem to be planning to leave after just one shot in Hollywood.

"Go to Weta Digital Studio!"

After getting in the car, Song Yang said to Ulf who was driving, if he just wanted to get a ticket in Hollywood and leave, then Song Yang would naturally not need to worry about special effects and just use the technology of Industrial Light and Magic.

But if you are prepared to stay in Hollywood for a long time, a special effects company is indispensable. The future of movies will be the era of special effects. No matter whether the audience is bored or not, the special effects of movies will become more and more gorgeous and real. There is a need for

It’s better to have your own special effects company, otherwise you won’t even know how long you’ll have to wait in line for Industrial Light and Magic to produce the special effects.
