The richest man

Chapter 98 "King Kong"

"Okay, then I'll do it for a while!"

Zhang Jun immediately asked everyone to vacate a place, and then stood in the middle and began to sing and dance at the same time.

In the office hall, screams continued.

Zhang Jun's approachability has made many employees identify with him.

After a dance, Zhang Jun was already sweating profusely. Dancing and singing was the most test of physical strength and singing skills.

"Okay, everyone, go back to your work immediately." George Lucas said, otherwise the group of people insisted that Zhang Jun sing another song.

Currently, ILM is under the management of George Lucas.

Everyone heard the president speak, so they dispersed slowly.

Zhang Jun followed George Lucas and Steven Spielberg to the office.

"Zhang, let me introduce you to Industrial Magic Light."

Lucas began to introduce that although Industrial Light and Magic was established for a short time, it was the first special effects company in the United States, and thus attracted many professionals.

The total number of employees is 65 people.

George Lucas has been perfecting the script for "Star Wars," but a small number of special effects have already begun.The current main task of Industrial Light and Magic is to do the special effects of "Jaws". The filming of this film will start soon, and it is expected to be released next year.

In the case of "Star Wars", at the rate Lucas is shooting movies, it will not be released until at least 1977.

After Zhang Jun learned about Industrial Light & Magic, he was quite satisfied.

Throughout the afternoon, the three of them discussed the scripts and shooting techniques of "Star Wars" and "Jaws" in the office.

Looking at the eager faces of the two people in front of him, Zhang Jun suddenly felt that "Star Wars" and "Jaws" might be better than the previous life...

In the next few days, Zhang Jun stayed at Industrial Light and Magic, having long talks with Lucas and Spielberg.

Meanwhile, nothing else was delayed.

Legendary Toys Co., Ltd. and Hasbao Toys Co., Ltd. have reached a cooperation to sell Transformers through the sales channels of Hasbao. The animation of "Transformers" was given away for free, and all powerful TV stations in the United States received a copy of the first 10 episodes of "Transformers".

As for the TV station still wanting the following episodes, they can only spend money to buy them.

Zhang Jun's profiteering nature is fully exposed.

Another thing Zhang Jun is more concerned about is the copyright issue of "King Kong". Zhang Jun finally bought the copyright of "King Kong" for a huge price of 80 US dollars.Next, make the arcade "Donkey Kong", and you will not encounter copyright issues again.

The movie "King Kong" can also be filmed at the same time. When the game is released, and with the promotion of the movie, both will explode.

However, Zhang Jun didn't know who was the right candidate for the director of "King Kong", which troubled him quite a bit.

As for the script, Zhang Jun felt that he could write it himself, directly copying the 2005 version of "King Kong".

"Lucas, have you seen "King Kong" released in 1933?" Zhang Jun moved his body from the sofa, stretched his waist, and asked Lucas casually.

Lucas has been in Hollywood for more than ten years, so he might be able to recommend a director to him.

"I've seen it, this movie is a classic and the beginning of a monster movie!"

"I have bought the copyright of "King Kong" and plan to remake it. Do you have a suitable director?"

Lucas shook his head, "Not yet, there are very few major directors in Hollywood who make this type of film."

Zhang Jun sighed: "Then we can only look for it slowly."

"Zhang, I will keep an eye on you. If there is a suitable candidate, I will contact you immediately."

"Ok."

Zhang Jun nodded, and began to recall more powerful directors in the 80s and [-]s in his mind.After thinking about it, I didn't find one.No, and Steven Spielberg!He should be the most suitable director for this kind of movie!
But he is currently filming "Jaws", there is no schedule.

Ok?
No, with my own guidance, the difficulty of shooting "Jaws" has been greatly reduced, and the filming can be completed in a few months, and there will be professionals in the post-production. Spielberg has not yet obtained the right to edit the film.

Therefore, Spielberg can make "King Kong" after filming "Jaws".

As for the "Donkey Kong" arcade machine, it will not be released yet, but will be further improved. When the movie "King Kong" is released, it will be a hit.

Thinking this way, when Steven Spielberg came to Industrial Light & Magic, Zhang Jun took the opportunity to invite him.

"Spielberg, have you seen the movie 'King Kong'?"

Spielberg nodded and said, "I've seen it, it's a wonderful movie."

"If you were to be the director of "King Kong", would you be willing?"

Spielberg was taken aback when he heard this.

Zhang Jun continued: "I have bought the copyright of "King Kong", and now I officially invite you to be the director of the film!"

Spielberg was very excited. "King Kong" is an insurmountable classic, with warmth and human indifference. The whole film is full of contradictions.Back then, the scene of King Kong climbing the Empire State Building, the tallest in the world at that time, shocked countless people.

Spielberg wanted to make this movie very much, and nodded without hesitation: "I do!"

A smile appeared on Zhang Jun's face. With director Spielberg in charge, the movie "King Kong" is absolutely stable. It may surpass the previous one and become a classic movie in the history of movies.
