As soon as Li Zetian heard the voice on the phone, he knew that the call was from Yu Jingqiu.
"Hello, Zetian, have you missed me?"
"think!"
Li Zetian said, look at George Lucas, Nima is a big light bulb next to it!
"Is something wrong, Jingqiu?" Li Zetian then asked.
"Isn't it about to celebrate the New Year, I ask where are you going to celebrate the New Year?"
Li Zetian thought about it and said, "Go to Taiwan to celebrate the New Year with your parents! By the way, Jingqiu, you should go too, I will take you to meet my parents. In addition, I also called Uncle Yu together, and our two families lived together. Years!!!"
There was a pause on the other end of the phone, Li Zetian guessed, Yu Jingqiu must have been nervous when she thought of going to see her parents, and she was speechless for a while, hehe!
"Well, okay, then I'll ask the school for leave, then my dad and I will come to California to find you!"
"Okay, call me or call my pager before you come, and I'll pick you up at the airport!!"
"OK!"
"Well, that's it, I have a client on my side."
"Bye~~ I won't bother you anymore!"
"Bye~~"
Li Zetian hung up the phone.
George Lucas laughed and said, "It's a call from my girlfriend!"
"Yes!" Li Zetian nodded.
"Hehe, seeing how happy you are when you answer the phone, no one can guess. Even though you speak Chinese, I don't understand!"
"Really? So obvious? Well, let's get down to business, Director Lucas, what do you think of my proposal?"
George Lucas nodded and said: "No problem, with the addition and technical support of Apple, I believe that this film special effects team is stronger!"
Li Zetian said: "Then how about establishing Industrial Light and Magic Film Special Effects Production Co., Ltd., with Apple and Lucasfilm each holding half of the shares?"
"no problem!"
"Okay, then it's settled!!!"
Lucasfilm is a film company established by George Lucas in 1971, and the former Industrial Light and Magic is a subsidiary of this company.
At this moment, Li Zetian and George Lucas have reached a verbal agreement to jointly establish Industrial Light and Magic, and the investment in the movie "Star Wars" has not yet been discussed.
Li Zetian continued: "Since the film special effects production company is ready to be established, then Apple has also decided to invest in your movie "The Adventures of Star Killer", but I think the name of this movie should be changed to "Star Wars"! "
""Star Wars"? Oh, a very good name, I have no opinion!!!" When George Lucas heard that the other party agreed to invest, he was very excited. What does it mean to change the name of the movie, not to mention "Star Wars" "It seems that the name is much better than "The Adventures of Star Killer", and it is more domineering!
"How much is Apple going to invest?" he asked.
Li Zetian thought about it, after the release of Apple-ll, it will definitely make millions or even tens of millions of dollars for Apple, so he answered confidently: "2 million dollars, paid in five installments, first pay 500,000 dollars, The rest will be paid off by 1976!!!"
George Lucas figured it out, Lucasfilm raised $1 million by itself, and now it has raised another $2 million, which is $3 million, so that he is more confident to convince other films The company invested in this movie! !
"Mr.Li, 'Star Wars' is going to be a huge win for Apple!!!" George Lucas promised.
Li Zetian smiled, he had no doubts about it, because he knew that the production cost of "Star Wars" in the previous life was 13 million US dollars, and the box office was as high as 770 million US dollars, which was a real profit! ! !
"Director Lucas, I have another small proposal!"
"What a proposal!"
"It's like this, Apple's second-generation Apple-ll personal computer is under development and may be officially released around May. Apple-ll will be more innovative and commercially valuable than Apple-l, and it will certainly take the United States by storm, causing huge It's a sensation! I think if Apple-ll can appear in the movie "Star Wars", it will definitely attract people's attention and curiosity, and maybe they will pay for tickets to watch the movie!!"
George Lucas was taken aback for a moment, Li Zetian clearly wanted to use "Star Wars" to promote Apple-ll, and he just said that it was for the "Star Wars" box office, the key is that he even said it righteously!
"Mr.li, do you mind if I take a look at what Apple-ll looks like? You know, our movie is a sci-fi movie, if the look is too old..."
Li Zetian interrupted aloud: "In terms of fashion and sense of technology, I am afraid that no computer company's computer can compare to Apple-ll. Director Lucas, please come with me and let you experience Apple-ll."
Immediately, Li Zetian took George Lucas to the Apple-ll project development team.
A computer on the table instantly caught Lucas's attention!
"Mr.li, this is the Apple-ll personal computer?!!" Lucas couldn't help but asked.
"Yes! How do you feel?"
"Very beautiful, so cool, so much better than I imagined, it's like a computer from the future! Mr.li, I totally agree with Apple-ll being in Star Wars!"
Li Zetian smiled secretly, Apple-ll was originally a copy of the computer design of the future, so it seemed full of technology and fashion.
"Director Lucas, things are almost over, I think it's best to sign the contract in these two days, including the establishment of an industrial light and magic film special effects production company and the investment in "Star Wars"!!! "
"Okay, no problem!" Lucas nodded.
…
…
The next day, Apple signed a contract with Lucasfilm.
"Director Lucas, I'm afraid that $3 million won't make "Star Wars". After the special effects production company of Industrial Light and Magic is established, I suggest you go to 20th Century Fox and ask them some points. Investment, and secondly, we also need a powerful film distribution company!"
"Haha, that's what I planned too... Mr.li, don't worry, I won't let Apple's investment go to waste!"
After signing the contract, George Lucas looked very happy.
"Ah That's good!"
After lunch, George Lucas flew back to Hollywood, and Li Zetian murmured, "Brother, does this count as entering the entertainment industry??"
What Li Zetian is looking forward to is how much revenue and popularity it will bring to Apple when the Apple-ll lens appears many times in "Star Wars". At that time, you can promote the company's listing and financing! ! !
With money, you can do more things, and at the same time have the strength to challenge IBM!
"Hey, it's time to let go, the computer boss has been sitting for a long time, now it's my turn to sit!!!!"
When Li Zetian thought that one day, the blue giant, the proud of the United States, would surrender to his feet, the taste is not too cool!
What Wang An can't do, I, Li Zetian, can do it!
I see who in this world dares to underestimate our Chinese! ! !
Li Zetian looked out the window, his eyes seemed very firm and confident!
Jingle Bell!
At this time, the phone rang, Li Zetian answered the phone, and it was Yu Jingqiu who called to inform him that she and her father were going to board the plane at the New York airport.
After Li Zetian hung up the phone, he glanced at the calendar, and it was actually February 5, 1975, which was New Year's Eve on February 10.
"Time flies so fast, in a blink of an eye, it has been nineteen months since I came to this era, and it seems that I haven't enjoyed life much..." Li Zetian leaned on the chair, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, thinking, "Wait for the apple The two carriages of the company and Microsoft are on the right track, especially if Microsoft can dominate the operating system, you can give yourself a long vacation and enjoy this wonderful, rich life!"
