Chapter 351 "Titanic"

Alan Shugart heard the words, but he was not annoyed. He smiled slightly and ordered the staff to start playing the DVD movie.

Soon, a high-definition LCD screen began to play a Disney movie.

As soon as they saw the picture on the big video screen, everyone was in an uproar!
"This picture is actually... so clear!!!"

Alan Shugart secretly smugly looked at the shocked expressions of the crowd.

"As you can see, in terms of the high-definition level of the movie, DVD is enough to crush any product!! This point must have been beyond dispute!" Alan Shugart pointed to the screen and said confidently, "Therefore , the videotape home video will definitely be replaced by DVD in the future! From the previous CD music to the current video DVD, Seagate Technology has been leading the technological trend. The purpose of this conference is to promote the Seagate DVD standard. I hope there will be More companies can join in!"

After finishing speaking, the audience immediately burst into applause.

Alan Shugart smiled slightly, and invited the bosses of many cooperative companies to the stage, such as dozens of CEOs from Disney, [-]th Century Fox, Netflix, etc., to sign DVD promotion agreements on the spot at the press conference.

This scene was very sensational and shocking. It demonstrated the strength and heritage of Seagate Technology, and let people know how powerful the Seagate DVD standard is.

Different from the reactions of ordinary guests, there were some people in the audience who had very ugly faces.

"I didn't expect Seagate Technology to start promoting the DVD standard so early, and it has so many allies!" A middle-aged white man frowned and said to the short RB man sitting next to him, "Yamashita-san, How is the development of Sony DVD? We must catch up with Seagate DVD as soon as possible.

The short RB man turned pale, sighed in a low voice, and said, "Our R&D speed is already very fast. How could Seagate Technology Company release DVD so quickly, which caught us by surprise. And Sony DVD probably won't be until next year." will be released..."

"So slow!!" The middle-aged Caucasian man's mouth twitched. He was a year slower than others. How can he compete?By the time Sony DVD comes out, Daylily will be waiting.

……

After the press conference, there was a celebration reception, and Li Zetian stayed to communicate with some business partners.

Many Hollywood film companies are the targets of Li Zetian's wooing.

At the moment, he is talking to the boss of Universal Pictures.

"Mr. Adam Ferguson, I heard that Universal Pictures is shooting a sci-fi adventure movie "Jurassic Park", which is adapted from the novel of the same name published by Michael Crichton in 1990?"

A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes and a hat replied with a smile: "Yes, directed by Steven Spielberg, the special effects of the film are still invited from your company's Industrial Light and Magic to help! "

"Hehe, the special effects must be great!" Li Zetian said with a smile on his lips, but he was a little depressed in his heart. He actually forgot to get the copyright of "Jurassic Park" to Disney.

Adam Ferguson nodded and praised: "Hehe, that's true. Industrial Light & Magic is indeed the most powerful computer special effects company in the world. I saw a short special effects video of "Jurassic Park". It was really shocking!"

"Then congratulations in advance for your "Jurassic Park" box office success!"

"Haha, thank you for your good words!"

"Hi, Mr. Li." At this moment, a woman's voice came from behind Li Zetian.Li Zetian turned his head and saw that it was Nikita, a well-known producer of [-]th Century Fox, wearing a red long dress, graceful and charming, with a thin waist and plump buttocks. Her skin was as creamy and exuded a luster like porcelain. The small lips opened and closed, extremely charming and alluring.

Adam Ferguson glanced at Nikita, then at Li Zetian, showing an ambiguous smile.

"Hehe, Mr. Li, let's chat. I'll go over there to talk to a good friend." After speaking, Adam Ferguson left immediately.

Li Zetian shook his head, gave him a look of contempt, then looked at Nikita and said, "Hello, Miss Nikita."

Nikita smiled and walked slowly. Li Zetian immediately smelled a charming fragrance.

"Mr. Li, you don't seem to want to see me? Is it because I'm ugly?" Nikita looked at Li Zetian with a resentful expression.

Li Zetian smiled awkwardly: "Hehe, how could it be, Miss Nikita is a natural beauty, a peerless beauty!"

"Mr. Li, you really know how to praise people! Am I so beautiful?" Nikita couldn't help but took a few steps forward, exhaling like blue.

Li Zetian shuddered, not far away, Dongfang Yuqin was holding a wine glass, and the old god was watching him.

Damn, this sexy little fairy wants to seduce me again, but she can't fall for it, Yuqin is still looking at me over there!
Li Zexia subconsciously stepped back a few steps, and when he saw a person approaching from the right, he seemed to have found a life-saving straw, and said to Nikita, "Oh, James Cameron is there, I happened to be looking for him for a while." Things to talk about."

As he spoke, Li Zetian immediately walked towards James Cameron.

Nikita frowned slightly, stomped her feet, and left angrily, cursing, "Hmph, I really don't understand style!"

"Hi, Director James Cameron." Li Zetian waved to him.

"Oh, Mr. Li, hello!"

The two quickly sat on the bench beside them and chatted.

Li Zetian asked: "Director Cameron, have you been making a movie recently?"

"No, I'm still resting."

"I had an idea and wanted to make it into a movie."

James Cameron nodded, motioning for Li Zetian to continue.

Li Zetian pondered for a while, and said: "In 1912, the Titanic cruise ship hit a rock and sank when it set sail on its maiden voyage. I want to use this as a background to tell about two people from different classes—the poor painter Jack and the noblewoman Ruth. The heartwarming story of Jack giving up the chance of life to Ruth in falling in love despite worldly prejudices."

After hearing this, James Cameron suddenly fell into deep thought.

Li Zetian couldn't help being taken aback, "Damn it, is this an epiphany?"

After a while, James Cameron looked a little excited, and said involuntarily: "Mr. Li, this is indeed a good story. I suddenly want to shoot this movie very much!"

Li Zetian secretly rejoiced, and said: "Great, then I will give you the full power of this movie, including the director, screenwriter and even the producer, and I will let you be in charge! This movie will cost at least 1 million U.S. dollars. If it is not enough, you can add it. I hope you can make it a very classic work!"

Hearing this, James Cameron was slightly taken aback, feeling very moved.

"Mr. Li, since you trust me so much, I will live up to your trust!!" James Cameron solemnly promised.

"Well, cheers!" Li Zetian smiled and raised his glass.

"cheers!"

After drinking this glass of wine, Li Zetian and James Cameron began to chat about the plot of "Titanic". Li Zetian frequently made witty remarks, which surprised James Cameron.

"Mr. Li, if you become a screenwriter, you will definitely be the top screenwriter in Hollywood."

At this time, Dongfang Yuqin unconsciously walked to Li Zetian's side, and said with a smile: "Director Cameron, Mr. Li used to be a famous writer, only for the two works "The Devotion of Suspect X" and "White Night Walk" It has already established his status as a master in the mystery novel world!"

James Cameron was shocked, "It turns out that Mr. Li turned out to be a master of mystery novels. No wonder he always surprises people when he writes stories. Mr. Li, why don't you write the script of "Titanic"?" ?”

Li Zetian quickly shook his head and waved his hands, "Uh, it's okay, I haven't written a novel for a long time, and I haven't even set foot in the screenwriting industry before, so the script of this movie is still written by you."

James Cameron said: "Okay, but when the film is finished, I will add your name to the list of screenwriters."

"Is this okay?"

"What's wrong? Didn't you come up with many of the plots of this movie... You should also have a share of the credit for the script, how can I keep it for myself? Besides," James Kame Long smiled, "With you on the screenwriter list, wouldn't it be better to promote this movie?! Mr. Li, for the movie to be a big hit at the box office, you won't refuse, right?"
