Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1516 Don't Listen to Gossip
Sammo Hung's worries were a bit unnecessary, Lin Daoqiu had no time to take care of Di Bao's affairs at all.

And Lin Daoqiu didn't take Di Bao too seriously, otherwise they would never live so comfortably now.

Only after seeing the press conference held by Di Bao and Pu Taijian, Lin Daoqiu could probably guess why Han Guo invited Di Bao to set up a branch.

If his guess is correct, what Han Guo wants is actually the special effects technology company jointly opened by Dibao and Jiahe.

Although I don't know how Pu Taijian persuaded Pan Disheng and them, this is not what Lin Daoqiu cares about.

After all, compared with Magic Studio's technology, the special effects company's technology is far behind.

Regardless of the fact that Dibao, Golden Harvest and others jointly invested one billion Hong Kong dollars in the research and development of special effects technology.

But over the years, Dibao has not made any special effects blockbusters. If it only relies on technical research without applying it, it will end up being a closed-door project.

A special effect technology that is not very good in the first place, even if it is stolen by those cold country people, it will not be able to change anything.

Although Lin Daoqiu couldn't block Han Country's technology, it was more than enough to delay their progress in special effects technology.

Lin Daoqiu didn't pay too much attention to Di Bao's matter. What he was thinking about now was the leading actor in the movie "The Hero".

After returning from Baodao, the scene of "Alien Invaders" in Xiangjiang is still being filmed, and it will enter the post-production stage after filming is completed.

But before that, Dykstra had mentioned to Lin Daoqiu several times about the talent issue of Magic Studio.

Some people were poached away by Dibao and Jiahe before, although it didn't hurt the magic studio.

But Dykstra, who didn't have many people who could use it, is a little bit busy now.

So on this trip to Hollywood, Lin Daoqiu not only wanted to settle down the leading actor of "Crazy Boys", but also helped Dykstra find some helpers.

The former is easy to handle, but it is not difficult for Lin Daoqiu to find a young actor with potential.

But the latter matter may be really tricky.

Before "Godzilla", the talents of special effects in movies were not paid much attention. Even with the popularity of "Star Wars", no film company invested huge sums of money in special effects technology.

But when Lin Daoqiu's "Godzilla" swept the world, all Hollywood studios changed their minds.

Special effects technology will be popular, this is the common idea of ​​everyone, Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic is the only existence that can be compared with Lin Daoqiu's magic studio.

But apart from Industrial Light & Magic and Moli Studio, there is no other special effects company that can compete with them at this time.

After leaving Xiangjiang, Lin Daoqiu once again set foot on the land of Hollywood.

Because he had greeted Langmeyer in advance, after getting off the plane, Langmeyer sent someone to meet Lin Daoqiu. Because he was busy with business, he could not meet Lin Daoqiu until tomorrow.

But Lin Daoqiu's purpose in coming to Hollywood this time was not to meet Lang Mayer, so he didn't mind about it.

"Do you know any interesting things happening in Hollywood recently?"

Lin Daoqiu hasn't paid much attention to Hollywood news for a long time.

"I don't know if Mr. Lin wants to hear the gossip and gossip about those celebrities?"

Lin Daoqiu shook his head with a smile, he had no interest in these things at all.

"Hollywood is full of gossip and rumors. If Mr. Lin doesn't like it, then the most widely circulated thing recently is that Mr. Lucas of Industrial Light and Magic is going to sell his computer animation department."

Originally, Lin Daoqiu didn't take it seriously at first, but a few seconds after the other party finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu suddenly opened his eyes.

Lucas was about to sell his computer animation department, which reminded Lin Daoqiu of the sensational deal.

"Do you know who the buyer is?"

"It is said that it is Jobs who left Apple."

Hearing this name, Lin Daoqiu connected everything together.

I didn't expect that I was so lucky. It seemed that God wanted me to make a lot of money.

The person sitting in the co-pilot who came to pick up Lin Daoqiu heard that Lin Daoqiu did not continue talking, so he thought that he was not interested in the news, so he did not continue the chat.

When Lin Daoqiu arrived at the hotel, he contacted him as soon as he sat down to meet Lucas.

Lucas on the other side was surprised when he received the news, but he still likes Lin Daoqiu very much. After all, everyone is relatively accomplished in special effects movies.

Although Lin Daoqiu dug Dykstra to Xiangjiang, this did not prevent Lucas from admiring him.

After all, that "Godzilla" really shocked him, so he also wanted to meet this Mr. Lin.

The two met on the next day. Lin Daoqiu did not go to see Langmeyer immediately, but made an appointment with Lucas at his company.

In fact, the purpose of Lin Daoqiu coming to Lucas this time is very simple, that is to buy the computer animation department of Industrial Light & Magic.

Lin Daoqiu's reason is also very simple. He opened a MAG company in Neon, so he bought the computer animation department of Industrial Light and Magic for MAG, which makes sense.

When I came to Industrial Light & Magic, Lucas and several others were already standing at the door waiting for Lin Daoqiu.

When Lin Daoqiu got out of the car, Lucas stood there and looked at him. At first, he couldn't believe that the young man in front of him was the all-powerful Lin Daoqiu in the movie world.

But it wasn't until Lin Daoqiu walked towards him that Lucas realized that this ridiculously young guy in front of him was really that Lin Daoqiu.

"Hello, Mr. Lucas, I'm Lin Daoqiu. Nice to meet you."

Lin Daoqiu took the initiative to reach out to Lucas.

The other party was stunned for a moment. After being reminded by the people next to him, he woke up and immediately held Lin Daoqiu's hand.

"It's unbelievable. Mr. Lin looks like a young man in his early twenties. I'm your age and I've just finished filming "Freiheit", but you are already a world-renowned movie mogul."

Speaking of this, Lucas has to feel that some people are born geniuses. Compared with Lin Daoqiu, most people in this world may not be able to compare with him.

"Mr. Lucas, don't make fun of me. You are a pioneer of special effects movies. As a junior, I still have a lot to learn from you."

Lin Daoqiu is very humble, but it should be. After all, Lucas is the real master of special effects movies, and it is necessary to be humble in front of him.
