Blooming America

Chapter 706: Lucas' plan

Thunder Lab.

Several technicians shook their heads.

"This is really not good, Mr. Soundcaster, Mr. Li's speed is so fast, the photos on the film can't be seen at all, and it can't be used for special effects."

"Why is this?"

Lucas thought it was a little absurd, but it was so.

A real martial arts master can not only be fast, but if you really want to be fast, you can even make you not feel whether he is playing left or right, or even if you have played.

In this world, only Brother Zhen Fan can do this.

In this frame after frame, Bruce Lee's tuǐ is so fast that all the images are afterimages. In this case, there is no way to create special effects.

These special effects are based on non-linear editing methods.

Non-linear editing is compared to traditional chronological editing. Non-linear editing uses a computer for digital production. Almost all the work is done in the computer. So many external devices are no longer needed. The calling of the material is also instantaneous. There is no need to repeatedly search on the tape to break through the single The time sequence editing limit of, can be arranged in various orders, with quick, simple and random features. Non-line xìng editing can be edited multiple times as long as it is uploaded once, and the signal quality will never decrease, so it saves equipment and manpower and improves efficiency.

Of course, this improvement is relative.

Catherine's "Ling Hún Reaction" can be regarded as a kind of "non-linear xìng" editing in a broad sense.

In the process of filming the film, each picture has 30 frames, and each frame is completed by allowing people to hand-paint them one by one, with high precision, unprecedented in history.

The same is true for computer special effects, but compared to Catherine's way of burning money, computer special effects do save a lot of money...well, it also saves a lot of time.

But in a situation like Bruce Lee, it won't work.

Lucas scratched his hair.

"Should we cut this paragraph?"

Spielberg tried to ask.

"Cut it off? No, why cut it off?!" Lucas quit.

"But it's all vague, what about this?"

"Retake!" Lucas gritted his teeth: "Let him come out a bit slower, let's retake this part!"

The big deal is equivalent to NG once!

The original part of the filming has been completed by more than 80%, but because of this matter, the progress may have to be reduced by about 10%, but in order to shoot a perfect film, Lucas gritted his teeth.

After saying this, Lucas felt a little weak.

"Steven," he said suddenly to Spielberg, "I have a plan. After shooting this film, I am going to set up a company that specializes in special effects."

"Special effects? What are you going to do?" Spielberg asked strangely.

"Look, Steven. Not one by one now, in the present and for a long time in the future, there are not many companies that can do computer special effects, right?"

"It's not that there are not many. I don't think anyone besides us would do that."

"Yes, because of this, we can have a great opportunity for development!"

He looked like dancing: "So you see, we can set up a special effects company after the meeting, and then specialize in special effects for other companies!"

"Hmm..." Spielberg was thinking, this seems to be feasible: "But special effects are expensive, right?"

"So one by one, if our "Star Wars" can be successful, our company has hope." Zhanks said: "And I have already thought of the name, it is called Industrial Light and Magic."

"Industrial Light & Magic? That's a good name." Spielberg nodded: "So specific?"

"I am going to be affiliated with DreamWorks first and become its subsidiary, and when it develops, I will lead the company to develop on its own."

Personal subsidiaries are a good policy in DreamWorks. Anyone can set up affiliated subsidiaries.

"Well, as long as Hollywood can pay for it, all problems are not a problem... Honestly speaking, the funds consumed by the film "Star Wars" can be given to Hollywood. I am afraid that they can already shoot two or three epics. The masterpiece.

Such special effects are purely money-burning.

Lucas and Spielberg both inherited Catherine’s tradition of burning money, and it is precisely because of this. For a long time, companies that want to invite them to film must first weigh it before grit their teeth. Please come over with two people.

This situation will continue for a long time in the future, until another money burning **** Cameron turned out, the limelight of the two was overshadowed by each other... Lucas decided to re-shoot that part of the series. On Catherine's side, Catherine and the Bell Helicopter representative were discussing the fire control system.

Although y is regarded as an unplanned product of Catherine, there is no doubt that this product has brought huge benefits to Catherine.

So far, this product can bring at least 100 million yuan in profit to Catherine every year-net profit-and this amount is still rising every year.

Now that Shi Fang needs this fire control system, does Catherine have a reason not to make a profit for him?

The bōston consortium wants to use Bell Helicopter to make a turnaround, and Catherine must not make them cheap.

The so-called bōston consortium was formed by the Lowell, Lawrence, Adams, and Rocky families in the bōston area, which was rich in the slave trade in the old century, and the new Kennedy family.

At that time, these families invested huge sums of funds accumulated from overseas colonial plunder in commercial banks, insurance businesses, and investment companies, and relied on these financial institutions to provide funds to operate workshops, tanning, shoemaking, clothing, food, and Light imitation industries such as chemical industry. Due to the rapid development of the textile industry, by the beginning of the 20th century, the bōston first national bank, the bōston first national bank, formed the bōston consortium.

The strength of the bōston consortium in industrial and mining enterprises is not as good as that of the eastern consortium.

Therefore, from the 1950s, the scientific research results of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have been used to develop emerging technology industries, from the light industry to the development of electronics, optics, space, and missiles.

For example, the Textron company it controls has merged with many small and medium-sized companies after the war, and its strength has grown. Its business direction has also changed from the light industry industry to the aerospace industry and electronic industry development, and it has become a diversified company with many subsidiaries. It not only manufactures aviation and aerospace products, various electronic components, aircraft parts, but also operates clockwork, furniture, and poultry industries.

The Bell Helicopter company that Catherine sees now is one of them.

The bōston consortium has superior technical strength in the development of emerging technology industries. The scientific research of famous universities such as Harvard University and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has strongly promoted the development of cutting-edge industries in the bōston area. Its affiliated companies such as Chikstrom Corporation, Lexi Ang Corporation and Bō La Royde Corporation, etc., have grown rapidly in economic strength due to the thorny effects of emerging technology industries.

Until the 1960s, the bōston consortium can be said to have developed very rapidly.

But at this moment, they encountered a cheating.

Politically, the bōston consortium once united with the geckefeller consortium to support Kennedy as president. Kennedy entered the White House and won a large number of military orders for the bōston consortium, which caused strong dissatisfaction with the Morgan consortium.

As a result, Kennedy was assassinated in November 1963, which dealt a big blow to the bōston consortium and made it lose its position in competition with other consortiums.

Catherine maliciously guessed, is it because of this reason that the Morgan Consortium bought the murderer?

Regardless of whether it is Morgan or Rockefeller, they are not good crops... Until now, the bōston consortium has been in decline among the top ten consortia in the United States.

If you can get the now easy-to-use CNC fire control system, you might be able to make a turnaround.

Catherine understands the psychology of the bōston consortium.

After all, the reason why their competitive position is declining is not because of the declining arms purchases?

Of course, Catherine believes whether the other party can really get the Pentagon's order.

Anyway, in this world, there is no better group to fool around than the Pentagon.

It's just that other consortiums are also fooling each other, so how effective the bō Tuton consortium can be. This is not certain.

After all, the president also represents the power of a consortium. They naturally serve their own consortium. Kennedy is from the bōston consortium, and he will naturally negotiate and exert his influence for the bōston consortium.

Now that Nixon is in power, the umbrella company and other consortia are in a better position.

The dead fellow is not dead and poor. If you lose your money, I earn mine. Anyway, the money you exploit is also the people's, isn't it?

We are walking for the sky, representing the moon and destroying you!

After talking with the other party for a long time, Catherine dismissed the other party, and Catherine left the next thing to the next.

"Huh, it looks like you can write scripts at ease during this time." Catherine is about to write the script of "Alien".

"One by one, I'm afraid not." Elsa poured a basin of cold water at this time.

"...Huh? What?"

"Kate~www.wuxiaspot.com~ don't you want to go to Washington again? Meet Nixon?"

"Wait, when is there such a plan?"

Catherine froze for a moment.

"One by one just now."

Elsa took out a letter, "Mr. Badua gave me this. President Nixon wants to see you."
