Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 1937

"Major controversy? Fortunately, he can think of it."

Kleidberg's guess was indeed correct. Lin Daoqiu was in the upstairs office when he visited.

But when he learned that it was the editor-in-chief of "Time" magazine, Lin Daoqiu just sent Richardson to meet him.

Lin Daoqiu never thought about accepting their interview from the beginning to the end, and he didn't even want to be the man of the year of "Time" magazine.

As for the major controversy that Kleidberg said to be clarified, it is simply lying, and the purpose is just to force himself to show up.

"Should I try it out and see what they found?"

Although Richardson also felt that Richardson was probably bluffing, just in case he felt that he should have a good talk with Kleidberg.

"He won't talk to you. He probably thinks that I'm avoiding him on purpose, so he will never tell the truth before he achieves his goal."

Lin Daoqiu felt that since he decided to ignore the opponent at the beginning, there was no need to contact the opponent, otherwise he might be led by the nose by Kleidberg.

Lin Daoqiu doesn't really care about what "Time" will publish at that time, but if it is a fraud, then "Time" may soon receive a letter from Lin Daoqiu's lawyer.

"Time Magazine has a lot of influence all over the world, and it would definitely not be a bad thing for us to have a good relationship with them."

What Richardson considered was that if he had a bad relationship with "Time" magazine, he worried that it would affect MGM's image.

After all, a media person can affect a company's image just by using a pen, and it just so happens that this media has quite a lot of influence.

"For a media that only knows about rankings, I'm not interested in being interviewed by them."

Richardson was speechless when he heard it. He couldn't figure out how Lin Daoqiu defined "Time" as a media that only engages in rankings.

But since Lin Daoqiu's tone is so firm, Richardson can't convince the other party. Now he only hopes that the things published in "Time" magazine will not affect MGM.

Lin Daoqiu named Magic Studio's studio in Hollywood the No. [-] studio, and the one in Xiangjiang was named the No. [-] studio.

Lin Daoqiu has spent [-] million US dollars on this No. [-] studio since it was built, and it can be said that it is being renovated and rectified every day, and the US dollars are flowing away like running water.

It would be very distressing to be the owner of another film company, but for Lin Daoqiu, the No. [-] studio could not meet his requirements and had to continue to be built.

For Dykstra, who was in charge of the studio at the time, he naturally agreed with Lin Daoqiu's decision.

Because Lucasfilm was acquired by Lin Daoqiu, some of the staff of Industrial Light and Magic were also assigned to work here.

With strong support, joining the No. [-] studio has greatly improved both in the research and development of special effects technology and in the progress of filming.

It's a pity that "1992" failed to catch up with this time, because "1992" had already entered the stage of post-production before Lin Daoqiu acquired Lucasfilm.

With the assistance of Lucas and others, Lin Daoqiu believes that "1992" would have been more perfect.

Although "1992" didn't catch up with the good times, movies of the size and size that will be produced in the future like "Xiang Xun" and other special effects will greatly benefit from it.

"Lucas is now on the crew of "Outlaws"."

Lin Daoqiu, who had just arrived at No. [-] studio, was very surprised when he heard the news.

He had already appointed Ken Ralston as the special effects director of "Extraordinary Men" before, so why did Lucas come to get involved?

It stands to reason that he should have his own film to produce, so how could he have so much free time to help out with the crew of "Phenomenon"?

Although there were a lot of doubts, Lin Daoqiu immediately went to the crew of "Heroes".

As a blockbuster action movie with special effects, the biggest selling point of the movie "Ghost Warrior" is the special effects and action.

After staying and working with Lin Daoqiu for so many years, Dykstra naturally knew what kind of effect Lin Daoqiu wanted to achieve.

"I heard them say you've been here three weeks."

Knowing that Lin Daoqiu had arrived, Lucas and the others put down their work and greeted him immediately.

""Warrior" was filmed with the latest special effects technology, how could I not come to join in the fun."

If you just look at the starring list of "Extraordinary Men", it can be said to be very shabby.

Brad Pitt and Nicole Kidman are two actors who are completely unfamiliar to Hollywood audiences.

Some media even deliberately ridiculed Lin Daoqiu after learning about the protagonist of this special effects action movie, saying that he is the boss who is best at using newcomers.

It stands to reason that the protagonists to be invited for such a large-scale production should be the most popular and top stars in Hollywood.

But Lin Daoqiu chose a pair of actors who are not well-known in Hollywood to act, which is really a puzzling thing.

Only Lin Daoqiu can do such a thing. If other film companies want to start shooting such a blockbuster, Brad Pitt and Nicole Kidman will definitely not appear on their list.

""Xenomen" can only be regarded as an attempt for MGM. There will only be more and more special effects action movies like this in the future. We must accumulate more experience in this area."

Lucas and Lin Daoqiu have the same idea. If this type of movie can be made well, it will definitely attract a lot of audiences to watch.

Although the media complained about Lin Daoqiu not looking for big-name stars in the newspapers, Lucas felt that the combination of Brad Pitt and Nicole Kidman was very suitable for this drama. After all, the combination of handsome men and beautiful women is indeed very eye-catching.

However, what he cared most about was the special effects of the film. In the past few weeks, Lucas learned about the strength of Magic Studio, which really surprised him.

Industrial Light & Magic, which Lucas regards as his hard work, is technically inferior to this special effects studio that was born several years after them.

Lucas got an even more shocking news from Dykstra.

From the early days of Magic Studio, Lin Daoqiu gave Dykstra tens of millions of dollars in research and development expenses every year to let Dykstra develop special effects.

I thought that my investment in the research and development of special effects was crazy enough, but I didn't expect to meet a boss who was more willing to throw money than him.

Lucas couldn't help thinking that if someone like Lin Daoqiu who was willing to spend money on special effects cooperated with him, ILM's special effects technology would definitely be improved to a higher level.

But it's not too late for him. After Lucasfilm was acquired by Lin Daoqiu, Industrial Light and Magic can now get at least 5000 million research and development funds every year, which was unimaginable before.
