Chapter four hundred and eighty seventh long-term agreement
After the sniffing, the filming of the set continued. Liu Mei and Lydia stayed by the side to watch, while Liu Jinpeng went outside to call Liu Lang. Yiti was ready to send a holographic technology team, which consisted of five people. Most of the members were from Titanium Star Holographic Laboratory, and two were members of the technical department of Yangcheng Company. They would take the afternoon plane to Puhai to gather, and then take the flight to Los Angeles directly. In addition to round-trip air ticket reimbursement, there were also subsidies for going abroad.
Liu Lang was also very excited when he received the call from his boss. Titanium Star Protection has been silent for too long and has not had the opportunity to exert his strength. This time he went to Los Angeles to work as a preservation work is a difficult challenge. Liu Lang, one of the executives, is very clear about the outside world's covetousness for Titanium Star Technology. The boss is willing to let Titanium Star Protection protect the technical team together with the internationally renowned Blackwater Company, which is a great affirmation in itself.
After this affirmation and trust, it was a heavy responsibility. During the period after Lin Shenhe established his own business, Liu Lang spent a lot of effort to win people's hearts and tried his best to find the boss to support and treat him. This was all to improve the morale of his subordinates. After so long training, what is Titanium Star Security's level is, and he still has to take a walk.
The various test items provided by Titanium Star Laboratory were first tested for Titanium Star Protection, and the assembly work was the first to focus on them, so Titanium Star Protection's current equipment level is not inferior to any internationally renowned safeguard company. Liu Lang was confident that this task would be completed successfully, so he did not hesitate to send out the most capable forces, including Deputy General Dong Chengru, Tactics, and more than 20 security guards led by the fighting instructor.
The team will go to Puhai this afternoon and go to Los Angeles with the technical team. Their technical equipment is ready for consignment, and there are some things that need to be kept confidential, so they will also send escorts to protect them.
After calling, he returned to the set. Liu Jinpeng sat down next to Liu Mei and watched the filming work for a while. He had never watched the shooting scene directly before, so it was the first time he found that the filming was not as beautiful as he imagined. It is a common thing. Sometimes a clip will be filmed more than a dozen times until the director approves it. At this time, everyone will feel that they are about to go crazy.
There is no male lead role on the set today, so the male lead does not come either. Hai Lan and Gao Xiaoxia's acting skills can only be said to be average in Hollywood, which is more experienced than extras, but their experience comes from China. This kind of drama with more demands on inner feelings seems quite insufficient.
The supporting actors and extras invited by Liu Jinpeng have already arrived. Let Xiaoxuan walk behind the audience, pretending to be a chance encounter and said to Liu Jinpeng: "Oh, isn't this Brother Peng? When did you come?"
Liu Mei looked back and saw that the woman had heavy makeup on her face. She could hardly tell her age. Liu Jinpeng originally wanted to pretend that she hadn't seen it, but she had already said hello, so he couldn't pretend not to know her, so she had to turn around and said, "Ah, it's you, why didn't you accompany Brother Wan?"
What a smart woman Liu Mei is. As soon as she heard this, she knew that this woman must be confused with Wan Yichen. Her little hand secretly grabbed Liu Jinpeng from below and turned around to continue talking to Lydia.
Ling Xiaoxuan laughed and said, "Brother Wan is busy talking about things with Mr. Zhu, so I'm fine. It's the first time I'm here in Hollywood, and it's a bit new." In fact, she didn't think it was new at all. At first glance, there was no difference from domestic sets. The only difference is that the crew and director are basically foreigners.
The two said a few words without salt, and Liu Jinpeng didn't say anything to invite them to sit down. Finally, Xiaoxuan found that something was wrong and said goodbye with a smirk. Lydia whispered there: "You have to be careful. In order to become famous, these women dare to touch them in the middle of the night. If you don't look at them, you will suffer a loss."
Of course Liu Mei knew, but she was confident and didn't believe that Liu Jinpeng liked such women. The habits of women that Liu Jinpeng disliked the most include heavy makeup and a strong perfume smell, so the girls at home basically have no makeup, and no one uses perfume.
After the afternoon filming, Lydia invited Liu Jinpeng and Liu Mei to dinner, and Zhu Lin and Wan Yichen accompanied him, so there were no other unrelated personnel. Liu Mei thought that Liu Shuquan had come back very late, so she called her home and said that she could not eat outside.
Lydia's treat is also in Hollywood. On a shopping street near Beverly Hills in the West End, there is a Japanese restaurant here. It is a shop that Lydia likes very much. It is said to be the manager of a well-known chef from Tokyo. The store's store looks very Japanese. The bottoms of the walls on both sides of the door are painted with blue wavy patterns, and a white background on it. The scenery above the waves are comic red seal ships and Warring States samurai.
After entering the store, the attentive waiter brought the guests to a private room similar to the train seat. There was no such a closed private room here. They were all such train seats. A little louder conversation could be heard by the side. Obviously, it was not suitable to talk about shameful things. The five people were a little troublesome for the train seat, so they added another seat on the side. Lydia was not afraid of trouble, so she sat down on the additional seat, next to Liu Mei who was leaning outside on the left and Wan Yichen who was leaning outside on the right.
Japanese cuisine goes back and forth, and Lydia ordered a plate of sushi for six people, then added a grilled pork ball skewers, and ordered a bowl of seafood udon noodles; Liu Mei ordered grilled chicken skewers, chicken grilled green onions, bacon enoki mushroom rolls and grilled lamb chops. Most of these things are not available in pure Japanese cuisine, and are completely changed only when it comes to the United States.
Liu Jinpeng and several other men were much more welcome, and they unified the pork cartilage ramen with roasted crispy bones and roasted ribs. I don’t know how to roast ribs in Japanese barbecue. Naturally, they drank sake. Liu Mei found that although the wine here is also a brand of "Laurel Crown", the taste is not as good as that he bought at Jin Market. It is probably a little change in the taste of the Americans.
While eating and drinking, Lydia told part of her plan. She has invited more than 10 friends of different fame to make guest appearances in the play, so this science fiction drama has a certain epic feeling. Because there are many characters on the scene, it is necessary to achieve a good balance here, which is not something that a rookie director can master.
The director Lydia wants to hire the most is George Lucas, but if Mr. Lucas refuses to surrender, he must have a substitute. Currently, Lydia prefers Ridley Scott. This famous director has many familiar film works, such as "Alien", "Blade Runner", "Gladiator", "Dynasty", "American Gangster", etc.
This talented old director is 7 years older than George Lucas. Since he filmed science fiction films like "Alien" and "Blade Runner", everyone thinks he is one of the greatest science fiction directors of this era. The difference between him and Lucas is that he pays more attention to original plots than to emphasize special effects. In other words, holographic technology is definitely not as attractive to Mr. Scott as Mr. Lucas.
However, now that I have just started to contact, I still don’t know whether Lucas is willing to take over this film. The key is that Lydia is a newcomer with no experience in film and television. No one knows how her acting skills are. As a director who has achieved something, he is generally unwilling to take on such a job, in order to avoid destroying the reputation she has established.
At the same time, Lydia still hopes to use holographic technology to reduce the cost of appearance and post-production. These two are big for any movie, and science fiction films have more special effects costs. If you can cut these three costs, the cost of the entire movie will probably be much lower, and the low cost will be much less pressure on film manufacturers, at least you won’t worry about not being able to make a cost.
Liu Jinpeng is quite supportive of Lydia's idea. I have to say that this woman's proposal is very win-win. Not only does she help her achieve her goals, but she also promotes holographic technology. Everyone knows this. So Liu Jinpeng reminds her: "My database has some very real video materials. Don't ask me where I got it. I can authorize it to you at a low price or even free of charge, but we have to sign an agreement. Starting from the second part, any videos using this video database will have to pay a certain fee."
Lydia agreed readily: "There is absolutely no problem. We can sign a long-term agreement. As long as you have real and beautiful image materials, we can cooperate for a long time."
Liu Jinpeng and Lydia met with glasses and congratulated him with sake. Now the New Year images in the Titanium Asterisk database can be sold for a good price. After being able to launch the probe, you can also create a special topic on planetary changes in the solar system, and you can continue to make money at that time.
Before the dinner ended, Lydia said she would pick up foreign friends who came to play tomorrow. She was responsible for all the expenses of these people in Los Angeles, and the price of the guest appearance without the performance fee. Wan Yichen and Zhu Lin both had to pick them up. They were both dedicated to making a familiar face in this circle, and the more people they knew, the better they would promote their agency services.
Liu Jinpeng didn't want to go very much. He reminded Liu Mei: "Disney tickets are for three days, can you still go?"
Liu Mei was having fun at the time and must have wanted to play, but now everything is full of things, so everyone is obviously busy with work. If she pulls her boyfriend away, it doesn't seem very good, so she smiled and said, "It's better to accompany Lida. It won't take much time to pick up people, and we still have the chance to play."
Chapter completed!
