Chapter 55 George Lucas and Industrial Light and Magic

Li Zetian smiled and said: "Risks and opportunities coexist! Sometimes, the greater the risk, the greater the reward! Don't worry, make your investment without affecting the normal operation of Apple!"

Tian Shuai nodded: "Well, that's good! Then I'll help you contact George Lucas as soon as possible!"

"Okay!" Li Zetian nodded.

Tian Shuai said hello and left Li Zetian's office.

Li Zetian was thinking at this time that "Star Wars" was released in 1977. In 1975, George Lucas should have already started preparations for this movie...

…

Hollywood.

George Lucas was very puzzled. He just answered a phone call and the other person claimed to be the CEO of Apple. He had heard a little bit about Apple, a personal computer company that was in the spotlight recently. What's surprising is that the other party actually said that he would invest in the movie he prepared, and invited himself to Apple's headquarters for detailed discussions!

"Although it is strange why a computer company would invest in a movie, but no matter, since the other party is willing to invest, then I will go there!!!"

George Lucas has just completed a second draft of the script, titled The Adventures of Starkiller. At this moment, he took out the script script from the drawer, then went to the printer and made a copy, preparing to take it to Apple to let them have a look so that they can invest in his movie.

In fact, George Lucas has approached several movie companies, hoping that they can invest in his movies, but he has been repeatedly rejected. This time Apple took the initiative to come to his door. For him, it was like a sudden dawn in the dark night! To be honest, George Lucas is nervous and excited right now. After he copied the script, he carefully stapled it.

"I hope it works this time!" he said to himself, looking in the mirror.

The next morning, George Lucas flew to San Jose.

Hollywood and San Jose were both in California, and two hours later, George Lucas was at Apple's headquarters.

In the chairman's office, George Lucas met Li Zetian.

"Hello, Director George Lucas, I am the founder and chairman of Apple - Chronos Li!" Li Zetian introduced with a smile.

George Lucas was extremely shocked. The chairman of Apple was actually a teenager, and he was also Chinese!

"Hello, Mr. Li, it's nice to meet you. I didn't expect that you founded Apple at such a young age!!"

"Haha, thank you for the compliment! Oh, by the way, Director Lucas, do you want water or coffee? Of course, we also have apple juice here!" Li Zetian laughed.

"How can you go to Apple and not drink apple juice?" George Lucas quipped.

"Haha, let's have a glass of juice!"

Li Zetian poured him a glass himself.

George Lucas said "Thank you" and asked curiously: "Mr.li, Apple is a high-tech computer company. Why is it named Apple? It can easily be mistaken for someone who runs a fruit company!"

Li Zetian replied: "Oh, I didn't think much about it at the time. I happened to be eating an apple, so I named it Apple..."

When George Lucas heard this, he was stunned. He was so hasty in establishing a company and naming it...

Li Zetian saw the surprised expression on George Lucas's face and couldn't help laughing: "You're kidding! The reason why Apple is named Apple is because someone said that one day, Newton was sleeping under an apple tree and was suddenly hit by an apple. After reaching my head, I figured out the law of universal gravitation. Therefore, the meaning of Apple is technology, and it also means commemorating Newton, the great scientist! If you look at Apple's LOGO, does it mean that the apple has been bitten? It is like the Garden of Eden. The forbidden fruit makes people unable to extricate themselves, and finally can’t help but take a bite, so this is a symbol of Apple’s products that our users can’t extricate themselves!!!”

"That's it, it feels so profound!" George Lucas said in shock.

Li Zetian chuckled to himself, in fact, this was all nonsense... He named the company Apple because there was Apple in his previous life.

"Okay, Director Lucas, let's talk business!"

Li Zetian sat upright and asked, "I heard that you plan to shoot a science fiction movie?"

"Yes, Mr. Li, I have brought the script, you can take a look!" George Lucas said as he took out the script and handed it to Li Zetian.

Li Zetian took the script, read it briefly for a while, and said, "There's nothing wrong with the script. Please give me a brief introduction to how you plan to shoot this movie!"

George Lucas organized the language and said: "In addition to conventional shooting, I also plan to use a large number of computer special effects in this movie, using the most advanced high-tech and digital production methods to create an unprecedented space. world!"

"Director George Lucas, this is very expensive, and there are no successful examples before for reference. I guess no company is willing to invest in this movie!" Li Zetian frowned and said pretending, because he couldn't Act too eagerly, otherwise it won't be that easy when the terms are negotiated later.

When George Lucas heard what Li Zetian said, he thought that the investment matter was out of the question again. He felt a little disappointed, but he still nodded and admitted: "Yes, I have gone to many film companies, but so far no company has cooperated with me." Willing to invest.”

Li Zetian pretended to be thoughtful and said nothing. In the office, George Lucas looked at him nervously.

Time passed little by little, and for George Lucas, every second was torture.

After a minute, Li Zetian spoke, and he said slowly: "I thought about it, it is not impossible to invest in this movie..."

When George Lucas heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed. Finally, someone was going to invest in his movie.

"Mr. Li, thank you very much!"

"Don't rush to thank me yet, I haven't completely decided whether to vote or not!"

Not completely decided yet?

George Lucas felt nervous, like he was on a roller coaster.

Li Zetian continued to ask: "Has the computer special effects team been formed?"

George Lucas shook his head: "Not yet, but I have contacted experts in computer special effects and am ready to invite them to join!"

Damn it, Industrial Light \u0026 Magic hasn't been established yet, doesn't this give me an opportunity to intervene? ? ?

Li Zetian felt a little excited, but his face remained calm and unruffled.

"Apple is a high-tech computer company, so it is particularly interested in computer special effects. Let's do this. Apple will work with you to build this computer special effects team. What do you think?!" Li Zetian said unhurriedly, his eyes Secretly paying attention to George Lucas's expression, once the other party agrees, Industrial Light and Magic will get it. In the previous life, before the famous Pixar Animation Studio was sold to Steve Jobs, it was actually just the computer animation department of Industrial Light and Magic!

Of course, Industrial Light and Magic is inseparable from George Lucas, who developed Industrial Light and Magic into the world's top special effects company.

"I think……"

Jingle Bell! ! !

Just then, the phone rang suddenly, interrupting George Lucas.
