Yitan explained with a smile! "Mai. He joined us in the digital field in his early years. His skills are very good, and he especially likes stunt technology. Like you, he has many weird ideas. This time the layering method was thought up by himself. It is a A very capable young man.¡±
Mai Chengxiong has a doubt in his mind, but he is still not sure. This should be impossible. It stands to reason that the person he is thinking of has not yet shown his prominence at this time, so it cannot be him. As if seeing Mak Chengxiong's doubts, Peter introduced himself at this time and said: "Hello boss, my name is Peter Jackson. I am from Wellington, New Zealand. Since I watched "The Killer Isn't Too Cold" produced in the digital field last year, I am very interested in the digital field, especially after watching "Resident Evil" written by you. I rushed to Hollywood immediately. This is the movie I want. After watching this movie, it reminded me of my childhood. When I watched "Golden Net", the digital field was the best."
Mai Chengxiong was suddenly startled, could there be such a coincidence? He immediately asked: "Peter. I don't know what you did before coming to Hollywood. Have you ever been exposed to movies?"
Peter was a little depressed at this time, but he quickly came back to his senses and said to Mak Cheng-hsiung: "Actually, I am very interested in movies. Just after graduation, I wanted to join a film company. Unfortunately, I didn't do it. Then I worked in I'm working in a newspaper, developing photos, and as for movies, I tried a small production myself, but it's not finished yet."
Mak Cheng-hsiung feels like he has been struck by lightning. Is it really such a coincidence?
The fat man in the digital field, Peter Jackson, is the big commercial director Peter Jackson. He was originally in New Zealand, and this Peter Jackson only came to prominence in the early 1960s. He worked in a newspaper for 7 years, and finally filmed the movie "Interstellar". After "The Stranger". Only then did he have the funds for Zhan, who had not been optimistic about him before.
Peter Jackson fell in love with movies when he was a child. At that time, after watching the classic Hollywood monster movie "The Golden Web", he dreamed of becoming a stuntman and hoped to one day be able to shoot lifelike monsters, and he has always done so. He worked hard for this goal, but he was not very lucky in the early stage and did not enter a film company, so his love for movies became even more enthusiastic. When "This Killer Is Not So Cold" was released in New Zealand, he was shocked , and "Resident Evil" was just released. He watched it several times in a row, and at this time he had a crazy idea, that is, he must come to Hollywood, and this is where he should live. So he came to Hollywood without hesitation. Because his printing skills were very good, he joined the digital field and became a developer, which also gave him the opportunity to be exposed to his favorite stunt production.
Mak Cheng-hsiung came to the digital field for acquisitions before, so he didn't pay much attention to the new faces in the digital field. Unexpectedly, he almost missed a commercial film genius, but this Peter is still just a genius. He's just a developer, is he qualified to be the director of "Tomb Raider"?
Mak Cheng-hsiung couldn't give an answer to this point. After all, a director must be trained to grow up, so Mak Shing-hsiung decided to let Peter try to be a director. At this time, he asked tactfully: "By the way, Peter, You said you have an unfinished movie, do you have any ideas to continue directing?"
After hearing what Mai Chengxiong said, Peter's whole body trembled. He didn't expect that Mai Chengxiong would have this idea. He spent his own savings to shoot that movie. Unfortunately, he didn't have enough funds, so he just shot it. In the first half, due to financial constraints, he had to stop. It was at this time that he saw Mak Cheng-hsiung's film and could no longer restrain his heart. After embarking on the road to Hollywood, he said excitedly: "Boss, do you want me to complete that film?"
Peter is very unsure. He naturally wants to finish filming his Virgo, but now he is in Hollywood and wants to finish it. I have to go back to New Zealand and contact the crew and director. That will work. It was so troublesome that he gave up on the idea himself.
"Well, that would be too troublesome, but I have a very good script here. I just don't have a suitable director. Why don't you give it a try. Don't worry, I will take care of it. You just need to shoot what you want. ,How about it?"
Peter misunderstood what Mak Cheng-hsiung meant. In fact, Mak Cheng-hsiung wanted to use the film "Tomb Raider" to give him practice, and he and Yuen Woo-Ping were on the crew. If that didn't work, he could also bring in Cameron. Come out, in this way, it is still very rewarding to use a film to train future commercial directors.
Peter was so surprised that Mak Cheng-hsiung actually handed him a script. When he saw the name of the script, he even said excitedly:He said something because he also knew the script. Cameron spent a lot of effort writing this script, but now he is working on another one. I was very interested in the script, so I got this opportunity. This was also his luck. Originally, he thought that if he was lucky, he might be able to get involved in special effects production soon. After that, he started to think about shooting issues after gaining experience. Unexpectedly, Mak Chengxiong directly gave him the opportunity to direct. Naturally, he It is very cherished.
"What? Mai, you didn't set it up, did you? How could you give this script to a developer? Do you want to give up this script? If this is really the case, then you are still in a bad state "Sha must umbrella little" just threw the script to Cameron after hearing the news. Idebiho found Mai Chengxiong and yelled at Mai Chengxiong.
He wrote this script, and he himself is very satisfied. If the "True Lies" script hadn't appeared, he would have been ready to start filming by now. If Mak Cheng-hsiung had filmed this. As for the script, he naturally had nothing to say. But now that Mak Cheng-hsiung wants an inexperienced guy to do it, Cameron will naturally not agree.
Mai Chengxiong was also very depressed at this time. After all, he was a reborn person, so he naturally knew history. Although Peter is not famous yet, his talent does exist, but he has not yet had a chance to show it. At this time, he must first convince Cameron, otherwise it will be difficult to film this film.
"Cameron, in fact, this Peter is very talented as a director. I have watched the film he shot himself and I think it is very good. What he lacks is the accumulation of experience. But that director is not born with the ability to film. We He should be given a chance."
Cameron stopped ranting after Mak Cheng-hsiung said this, but he also worked hard to write this script. The most important thing is that this script is also a very good script. He would naturally be reluctant to give it to a newcomer like this. ()
Mak Chengxiong rolled his eyes at this time and continued to say to him: "Of course, you are the screenwriter of this script, so you are more familiar with how to shoot. I am also taking care of you on the set. If you are still worried, then the producer of this film Since you are in charge, you can be the final check, I think the shooting will definitely produce good results, what do you think?"
Cameron is restless at this time, but Mak Cheng-hsiung is also considering the digital field. After all, the digital field cannot develop without the addition and exploration of talents, and he also believes in Mak Cheng-hsiung's vision since he said that this newcomer is good. Then he must have something worthy of attention, so Cameron stopped stopping him and let Mak Chengxiong do it.
Steve is also very angry now. He did not expect Apple to be so decisive. It was just the failure of a project. Although he lost a lot of money, there was still a chance. The film industry is a hugely profitable industry. Everyone knows this, so after he was kicked out, he bought Pixar. In his own name, he is a person who refuses to admit defeat. Otherwise, he wouldn't have made it from scratch. This time he would do it well and let those people see it.
¡°It¡¯s just about developing Pixar. It can't be done in just one or two sentences. Originally, the Industrial Light and Magic Animation Department had a number of technical talents, but due to Lasseter's sudden departure, several core figures were also taken away. Now Pixar has only half the number of people before, and the shortage of talents has given him a headache. Fortunately, he has had frequent contact with the film industry in recent years and has met many company bosses, including several from the eight major companies, so this time he will use their help to establish Pixar.
To develop, Pixar has to make its own films, and Pixar¡¯s staff have always been engaged in animation, so he can only start from here. To be honest, he is not that interested in anime. But now there is no way.
When Steve heard that Lasseter actually had the idea of ??filming an animated feature, his heart could no longer calm down. After all, it was because of Lasseter's sudden difficulty this time that he was in the current situation. In an embarrassing situation, this time he decided to invest in Pixar and let them produce an animated feature, and he also lost a lot of money this time. Directly injecting Pixar's production costs, they must produce the best film this time.
Steve was also very motivated at this time, which made him feel like he was back when he first founded his own company. It was because of his hard work that he stood out among many small companies and was finally able to enter Apple. Just when everyone was in a hurry. Another Academy Awards ceremony has begun. This time, Mak Sung-hsiung started paying attention to the shortlist of films early.
What makes Mai Chengxiong very disappointed. It may be that everyone is jealous of the achievements in the digital field. Therefore, in this year¡¯s Academy Awards, only ¡°Resident Evil¡± was shortlisted in the digital field, and only ¡°Resident Evil¡± was shortlisted.It only received a nomination for the Best Visual Award. This made Mak Chengxiong a little disappointed, but he quickly calmed down. After all, both films are commercial films, and they want box office. If you want to win a grand prize, such a good thing will naturally not happen. Of course, Cameron is an exception, but Cameron is not good enough now.
What surprised Mak Chengxiong was that this time Cameron actually took the Oscars very lightly. I remember that he was still clamoring to win the award the year before last. This time he just looked at the list, then ignored it, and continued to concentrate on his script.
Mak Chengxiong was still a little strange and asked Cameron: "Why do you seem to be so unconcerned about Oscar this time? I remember you cared very much about it last time.
Cameron didn¡¯t even look up at this time. Instead, he said nonchalantly: "It's mine. After all, it's mine, and no one can take it away. And we have a lot of trophies now, so we don't need to care so much."
Cameron¡¯s performance was mediocre, so only Mak Cheng-hsiung was present at this Oscars ceremony. This time it was nominated for the Best Visual Effects Award. It is an honor in the digital field, but Stan has no idea of ??participating this time because his technology is at a critical moment. Only Mak Chengxiong took Lasseter, who had just joined, to participate. Lasseter attended the Oscars for the first time. I was still very excited inside. It's a pity that Mak Cheng-hsiung doesn't know much about Hollywood. Moreover, the relationship with other companies is not very deep, so these two people were almost ignored by everyone this time.
I originally thought I would be able to enter the venue smoothly. But at this time, Mai Chengxiong and Lasseter suddenly felt a strong gaze looking at them. Looking over, it turned out to be someone from Industrial Light and Magic. Lucas stared closely at Mai Chengxiong. The main reason is that Lasseter, the big fat guy, is too conspicuous here, because of Mak Cheng-hsiung's physique. She also looked much thinner standing next to him, which was in sharp contrast.
This time Industrial Light and Magic is also nominated. They also have a nomination for the Best Visual Effects Award. The two parties are like enemies meeting.
Lasseter was the first to lower his gaze. After all, Lucas was once his boss. Although he was very harsh on the animation department, he still took good care of him.
Then Lucas swept a cold light at Mak Sung-hsiung, which was meant to provoke him. See you at the Best Visual Effects Award.
Mak Chengxiong patted Lasseter on the shoulder and said comfortingly: "Don't worry. In fact, Lucas's eyes are not directed at you. It's just that the competition between the digital field and Industrial Light and Magic has been too fierce in the past two years. We are Industrial Light & Magic¡¯s biggest rival, so they treat us as enemies.¡±
¡°But this year¡¯s Oscars are really too bland. There are no outstanding films that Mak Seng-hsiung is familiar with. Many movies have only been heard by name. He didn't even look at it.
When the award for Best Visual Effects was awarded, Lasseter was also very nervous at this time, and Mak Chengxiong also sat upright. After all, the Oscar award is a huge honor, and even if he was still in his heart, he could not calm down at this time. However, this time it was the special effects production team of the film "Cocoon" that won the award. Digital Domain and Industrial Light & Magic both failed to win. Mak and Lucas stepped down at the same time. At this time, Lucas was not targeting Mak. What Cheng Xiong meant was that after all, there was no conflict of interests between the two parties this time, and it could actually be considered calm.
Yuan Heping also rushed over from Hong Kong. When he arrived, he couldn't wait to read the script. Soon he found that this script was different from the previous one. "Resident Evil" is somewhat similar in terms of fighting effects, and the heroine is both Yang Ziqiong. The burden on him is very heavy. If he cannot come up with new ideas, fans will feel visual fatigue, which will have a huge impact on the film.
In fact, Mai Chengxiong has thought of this problem for a long time. That's why he asked Yuan Heping to come here early just to discuss and solve this problem with him.
Yuan Heping¡¯s brows furrowed deeply. After all, his style is hard work and hard work. The effect is very single and lacks variety. After thinking hard, Yuan Heping said to Mak Chengxiong: "It seems that I will have to fight for my life this time. The action of this film The design needs to add fancy movements to achieve maximum visual appreciation and avoid a flashy feeling. Ah Xiong, you have given me a big problem this time."
Mai Chengxiong was dumbfounded at this time. Unexpectedly, Yuan Heping, who was not good at talking and had a straightforward personality, actually joked with him at this time, which showed that he was under great pressure.
In fact, Mai Chengxiong¡¯s requirements are not too high. This film is still mainly about grand scenes and thrilling plot, but it needs to be accompanied by action to achieve the best effect, so he found Yuan Heping, and naturally Mak Chengxiong did not say these words. Yuan ?Ping is a conscientious person. As long as he takes this film, he will do his best.
Because the "Resident Evil" website was downloaded not long ago. So filming "Tomb Raider" this time was also a very big challenge for Yang Ziqiong. After all, two different characters require different performances, otherwise it will be a failure. After Yang Ziqiong came to Hollywood, she has been silently working on the script, trying to understand the character of Laura from all aspects. She wants to play this strong woman.
What makes Yang Ziqiong a little scared is the costumes this time. The costumes this time are bolder than the costumes in "Resident Evil". In order to highlight Yang Ziqiong's status, Mak Chengxiong made a very fitting suit for her. The tights, and they are bright silver, are designed based on Julie's outfit in the sequel to "Tomb Raider". Although it is a full body suit, it is not as naked as in "Resident Evil", but because it is Tight clothes, so the final effect is bolder, highlighting Yang Ziqiong's entire figure. The body curves are clearly visible.
Fortunately, with the experience of the last shooting, Yang Ziqiong just adapted to it and calmed down. However, after paying attention to fitness, her figure curve has become much more obvious, and she is also a beautiful woman, which still attracts people. It attracted a lot of green eyes from the crew.
Next, the preparations for "Tomb Raider" were also completed. This time there were also a large crew. Because Lasseter was about to prepare his own animated feature film, he also joined the crew this time. Mak Cheng-hsiung and Yuen Woo-Ping assisted in the filming, and Cameron was also the nominal producer, controlling the final quality check.
So the real directors on the set are two big fat guys.
Today¡¯s condition is really bad, I will make up for it tomorrow. You don¡¯t have to wait for the second update, go to bed early.
