Li Zetian smiled and said, "Risk and opportunity coexist! Sometimes, the greater the risk, the greater the reward! Don't worry, invest without affecting the normal operation of Apple as much as possible!"
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 greeted him and left Li Zetian's office.
Li Zetian was thinking at this time, "Star Wars" was released in 1977, and in 1975, George Lucas should have already started preparations for this movie...
…
…
Hollywood.
George Lucas was very puzzled. He just answered a call, and the other party claimed to be the CEO of Apple. He has a little knowledge of Apple, which is a personal computer company that has been in the limelight recently. It's just surprising that the other party actually said that he wanted to invest in the movie he prepared, and invited himself to the Apple headquarters for a detailed discussion!
"Although it is very strange, why does a computer company invest in movies, but no matter, since the other party is willing to invest, then I will go there!!!"
George Lucas just finished his second draft of the script, titled "The Adventures of Star Killer." At this moment, he took out the script draft from the drawer, and then went to the printer to make a copy, ready to take it to Apple and let them see it, so that he could invest in his movie.
In fact, George Lucas has approached several film companies, hoping that they can invest in his films, but has been repeatedly rejected. This time Apple took the initiative to come to the door. For him, it was like the dawn suddenly appeared in the dark night! Truth be told, George Lucas is nervous and excited right now. After he had copied the script, he carefully stapled it together.
"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 are both in California, and two hours later, George Lucas has arrived 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 stunned that the chairman of Apple was actually a teenager, and he was also a Chinese!
"Hello, Mr. Li, it's a pleasure to meet you. I never imagined that you would create Apple at such a young age!!"
"Hehe, 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 not drink apple juice when you get to Apple?" George Lucas quipped.
"Hehe, then have a glass of juice!"
Li Zetian poured him a cup himself.
George Lucas said "Thank you" and asked curiously: "Mr.li, Apple is a high-tech computer company. Why is it named Apple? It is easy to misunderstand that it is a fruit company!"
Li Zetian replied: "Oh, I didn't think much about it at the time, I happened to be eating apples, so I named it Apple..."
When George Lucas heard the words, he was stunned for a moment. The name of the company was so sloppy...
Seeing George Lucas's surprised expression, Li Zetian couldn't help laughing: "Just kidding! The reason why Apple is named Apple is not because someone said that one day, Newton was sleeping under the apple tree when he was suddenly smashed by an apple. When I got to my head, I came up with the law of universal gravitation. Therefore, the meaning of Apple is technology, and it also means to commemorate the great scientist Newton! When you look at Apple's LOGO, is Apple bitten? It's like the Garden of Eden The forbidden fruit made people unable to extricate themselves, and finally couldn't help taking a bite, so this symbolizes that Apple's products make our users unable to extricate themselves!!!"
"It turns out that it feels so esoteric!" George Lucas said in shock.
Li Zetian secretly laughed, in fact, this is all nonsense... He named the company Apple because there was an Apple in his previous life.
"Okay, Director Lucas, let's talk about business!"
Li Zetian sat upright and asked, "I heard that you are planning to make a sci-fi movie?"
"Yes, Mr. Li, I have brought the script, you can take a look!" George Lucas said, taking out the script and handing it to Li Zetian.
Li Zetian took over the script, watched it for a while, and said, "The script is fine, please give me a general introduction, how you plan to shoot this movie!"
George Lucas organized the language and said: "In addition to regular shooting, I also intend to use a lot of computer special effects in this film, through 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 to refer to before. Presumably no company is willing to invest in this film!" Li Zetian frowned and said pretendingly, because he couldn't The performance is too eager, otherwise it will not be so easy when the conditions are negotiated later.
When George Lucas heard Li Zetian say this, he thought that the investment thing was over again, and he felt a little disappointed, but he nodded and admitted: "Yes, I went to many film companies, but so far there is no company with willing to invest.”
Li Zetian pretended to be contemplative at this time, but did not speak. In the office, George Lucas looked at him nervously.
Time passed, and for George Lucas, every second was an ordeal.
A minute later, Li Zetian spoke, and he said slowly: "I thought about it, it's not impossible to invest in this movie..."
When George Lucas heard this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed that someone finally wanted to invest in his film.
"Mr. Li, thank you very much!"
"Don't rush to thank you, I haven't completely decided whether to vote or not!"
Not quite decided yet
George Lucas felt like he was on a roller coaster.
Li Zetian continued to ask, "Has the computer effects team been formed yet?"
George Lucas shook his head: "Not yet, but I have contacted experts in computer special effects and am going to invite them to join!"
Holy crap, ILM hasn't been established yet, isn't this a chance for me to intervene? ?
Li Zetian was a little excited in his heart, but his face remained calm, Gu Jing was calm.
"Apple is a high-tech computer company, so it is very interested in computer special effects. So, what do you think about Apple building this computer special effects team with you?!" Li Zetian said slowly, his eyes Secretly pay attention to the expression of George Lucas, once the other party agrees, Industrial Light and Magic will get it. In the previous life, the famous Pixar animation studio was actually just the computer animation department of Industrial Light and Magic before it was sold to Jobs!
Of course, ILM is inseparable from George Lucas, who developed ILM into the world's top special effects company.
"I think… "
Jingle Bell! ! !
Just then, the phone rang suddenly, interrupting George Lucas.
