Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

In fact, Mr. Bao really doesn't care about the royalties for publishing a book. But the more readers the novel has, the more people will know about Fucaira in the future; then when Jurassic Park is built, the more people will come to visit it. This is the effect he wants to achieve, but if he wants to make Jurassic Park more famous, he really needs the help of these big Hollywood directors.

Whether you admit it or not, Americans are indeed at the forefront of the world in the field of movies. Although the French invented cinema, it was the Americans who popularized it all over the world. Hollywood has become a cultural business card, so sometimes it is necessary to borrow other people's promotional methods.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "It's just a small work in my spare time. I don't know much about this aspect. Since Director Spielberg feels that he can publish a book, he can help me contact people. At present, Yulin Institute of Technology, although There are also cooperative publishing agencies; however, they are more specialized in essays and are not very good at novels.

In fact, Heiyun Group cooperates with quite a few publishing houses. But since Spielberg wants to direct this movie, he will naturally be more attentive. And you can also look at the other party's strength. If you can't do such a small thing well, then it's better not to cooperate in the future.

Spielberg was a little surprised to hear that he was completely responsible for the novel. Although he only read it once, based on his professional analysis, it is inevitable that the novel will sell well. There are hundreds of millions of dollars in profits involved, but when I think of the other party's identity, I feel relieved.

As the world's richest man, he really doesn't care about that little money. You can earn hundreds of millions of dollars in one day. This is the gap between people. It’s not okay to be unconvinced!

Spielberg thought for a moment and said: "Since Mr. Bao trusts me so much, I will not let you down. I am very familiar with several major international publishing houses, and I will definitely maximize the benefits."

People may not care, maybe it is more of a test. Although as a well-known Hollywood director, he does not need to prove anything to the world; but this young man still needs to give a satisfactory answer when he poses a question to himself.

Although Bao Zixuan is young, who cares about his identity? As the most successful entrepreneur in the world, his overall strength is much stronger than that of a well-known director. Before, he was the one looking at the actors, but now it was his turn to be looked at. Maybe this is the gap, but it is also a reality that everyone must face.

Paul Allen may not know much about it, but the other two people have a good understanding of what's going on inside. With Bao Zixuan's popularity, any book written will become a hit. There are so many fans around the world, and if everyone supports it, it must be a terrifying amount. Now the work is directly handed over to Spielberg. On the surface, it seems that he is not familiar with the publishing industry, but there is definitely an element of testing in it.

George Lucas said with a smile: "Mr. Bao, you can really bring surprises to people. In fact, I also want to direct this film; but if that is the case, Steven will have to work hard with me."

"The film will inevitably involve a lot of special effects shots, and I think Industrial Light and Magic can complete this task."

Industrial Light and Magic, referred to as ILM, was founded by the famous filmmaker George Lucas. He founded Lucasfilm in 1971 and became a Hollywood independent filmmaker.

In 1975, George Lucas was preparing for the first movie "Star Wars". This was the fourth episode in the Star Wars series and the first in the main series. Lucas was ready to go big.

But Lucas faced a big difficulty: the film required a large number of special effects scenes, and there were no professional companies in Hollywood at the time to provide technical support.

In fact, he had already completed the entire script of the Star Wars series in 1973. However, the story he wrote was too colorful and the scenes were too grand, which resulted in the film's budget being too high. At that time, major Hollywood film companies were not very interested in investing in a space science fiction movie that required high investment.

After many efforts by Lucas, 20th Century Fox finally agreed to inject $8 million into Lucasfilm, which was a huge gamble for both parties at the time.

After the filming of the movie started, because the talents in this field were scattered all over the place at that time, it was difficult to ensure the production of ideal effects. So George Lucas used the money to rent an old warehouse in Van Nuys, California, and moved the scattered talents. Talents gathered here and ILM was born.

The "Star Wars" series achieved unimaginable success, 20th Century Fox made a lot of money, and Lucasfilm took off. ILM became the first professional film special effects company in Hollywood and even the world.

In the days that followed, Industrial Light and Magic became almost synonymous with the world's special effects movies. They win the best special effects awards almost every year.

This is one of the reasons why George Lucas has a higher status than Spielberg. Because he is a boss himself, even though the company is small, no one dares to treat him as an ordinary wage earner.

Bao Zixuan smiled and said: "That's your business. If the movie needs investment, just give me a figure. As for the screenwriter's fee, there is no need to pay. It is best to participate in the dividends."

They had seen how arrogant Bao Zixuan was in the past few days.

George Lucas smiled and said: "Mr. Bao, I have a project, I wonder if you are interested in it."

Jews may be born with business knowledge and can discover business opportunities anytime and anywhere. However, Mr. Bao has no objection to this, because cooperation means profits. If you let yourself invest in an unprofitable business, then there will probably be no future.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Although I am an engineer by background, I am also a businessman. Mr. Lucas is a director and also runs a business. No one will refuse business when it comes to him."

George Lucas was very moved when he heard what the other party said; after all, the fundamental strength of the two sides was not unequal. It is said that it is cooperation, but it is more about getting orders, or taking advantage of the other party.

Bao Shaofu's answer makes you feel very comfortable listening to it. It can be said that this is also a skill. Why people can succeed will be reflected in all aspects.

George Lucas said very seriously: "Thank you Mr. Bao for your recognition. Movie special effects are only one aspect. Don't you want to build Jurassic Park? With existing technology, it can be said that it is impossible to perfectly replicate a living dinosaur." impossible."

"But we can't let tourists just look at skeleton fossils. After a long time, no one will buy it. Industrial Light and Magic still has some technical strength in the field of special effects, so I want to undertake the Jurassic Park project in Fucaira."

"Of course, the current technical strength and hardware level are not enough. But Heiyun Group is undoubtedly the world's number one in the computer field. If we can cooperate, we will definitely achieve the effect of one plus one being greater than two."

Of course Bao Zixuan understood what it meant, and had thought about this before. I just haven't thought about whether I should do it independently or find a company to cooperate; now it seems like an opportunity.

In the field of special effects, Industrial Light and Magic is second; probably no one dares to say that they are first. Although Heiyun Group is far ahead in the computer field, it has specialization in the field of technology. The technical reserves in special effects are not there at all; but compared to Industrial Light and Magic, they are definitely far behind.

This means that if both parties cooperate, the project progress will be accelerated. And starting everything from scratch is not as easy as imagined.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "This is great! I was thinking about finding a special effects company to cooperate with before, but I didn't expect that it would take no effort at all. Although I am not a Hollywood professional, I still know a lot about the strength of Industrial Light and Magic. two."

"Your company is also a customer of Heiyun Computer Company. You have purchased a lot of computers with advanced performance. For a company that is willing to invest, I believe that the technology will never be bad."

George Lucas didn't expect that the other party would actually know that Industrial Light and Magic had purchased Black Cloud computers. You must know that compared to Heiyun Group, they are too small to be a small customer. In addition, Bao Zixuan is famous for being a hands-off shopkeeper; even more so after becoming a father. It seems that it's not that people don't pay attention, they just don't want outsiders to know.

As a company owner, you may not have to worry about everything. However, checking orders, revenue, etc. still belongs to the scope of daily basic work.

At this moment, George Lucas is very excited to undertake the Jurassic Park project in Fucaira; it will not only bring the technical strength of Industrial Light and Magic to a higher level, but also increase the business scope invisibly!
