Stan Winston was moving very quickly, and he dug up someone from Industrial Light and Magic in just a few days.
To be precise, it was still poaching James Cameron for the later stages of "Terminator 2", and James Cameron himself would also join the "digital field" special effects company.
"This is Scott Rose, a senior special effects engineer at Industrial Light and Magic, and an account manager." Stan Winston introduced.
Scott Ross is over 50 years old and is dressed in a very formal suit. He holds Kang Jian’s enclave hand and says, “Hello, Mr. Kang, I’m glad to meet you.”
"Hello, Mr. Ross." Kang Jianfei felt that this guy's hands were very rough. It seemed that when he was young, he probably often created movie models with his own hands.
James Cameron and Scott Ross met when they filmed the first part of "Terminator". The two collaborated again in "Terminator 2". Scott Ross was contacted by Cameron and Industrial Light and Magic.
In another time and space, after filming "Terminator 2", Scott Ross left Industrial Light and Magic and planned to start a special effects company in the digital field with Cameron. Cameron pulled his friend Stan Winston in, and the three troikas in the digital field were gathered together.
Among the three, Scott Rose was mainly responsible for the company's business management, James Cameron was responsible for filming blockbusters and posed problems, and Stan Winston was responsible for convening personnel to solve problems. As he raised and solved problems again and again, the company in the digital field grew step by step, and finally became a temporary addition to Industrial Light and Magic in the field of film special effects.
For example, James Cameron's blockbuster "Titanic", there are many special effects in it that are completed in the digital field. However, most people only notice the role of Industrial Light and Magic in this shipwreck film.
James Cameron was busy making the late stage of "Terminator", so he was not present today. Now the only ones sitting together are Kang Jianfei, Stan Winston and Scott Rose.
Kang Jianfei said that he was poaching people from Industrial Light and Magic. He asked Stan Winston to dig up several computer special effects talents, but who knew he had poached a business management talent.
But it doesn't matter, because Scott Ross patted his chest and said that the computer special effects talent was included in him.
Everyone first confirmed the company's shares. Kang Jianfei, as the funder, owned 65% of the equity in the digital field; Stan Winston originally had some shares in special effects studios, but now his special effects studio has been merged into a new company, with the original shares plus his entrepreneurial veterans. He owned 18% of the equity in the company; while James Cameron and Scott Rose's equity are 9% and 8% respectively.
Scott Ross is very satisfied with the shares that Kang Jianfei gave him, because Hollywood special effects companies have started to make money in recent years, and Weinstein's special effects studio has also had a considerable surplus in the past year. The 8% stake in the new company gives Scott Ross hope to become a rich man in the future.
For a special effects expert who is in his 50s, talking about entrepreneurial ideals is a bit vague, and real equity is the most convincing.
"I heard that Mr. Kang is going to work with Stanford University?" Scott Ross asked.
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "It was proposed by Mr. Winston. What do you think?"
Scott Ross smiled and said, "It's a very wise choice. Once a partnership is reached with Stanford, the talent and technology reserves in the digital field will be in place."
Kang Jianfei said: "I am going to donate $8 million to Stanford University. Mr. Ross, please help me contact me."
The $8 million at this time is not the 8 million 20 years later, and it is also a huge sum of money for Stanford University.
Kang Jianfei's donation was not caused by too much money. He donated the 8 million US dollars, even if he was named at Stanford University. Not only will the cooperation with Stanford University be smoother this time, but his children or friends' children will come to Stanford in the future, as long as Kang Jianfei makes a request, his admission conditions will be much better.
Coaster Ross said happily: "That's great, with this donation, I'm 100% sure to reach a cooperation with Stanford in the digital field."
Kang Jianfei doesn't want to pay attention to the future operation and development of companies in the digital field. Anyway, just give them to professionals to take care of. He opened the briefcase he brought, took out a stack of drawings, and said: "This is the first business of a company in the digital field. I hope everyone can successfully complete the company's entrepreneurial works."
The things Kang Jianfei drew were the corpse turtles, blood corpses, hydra cypresses and other monsters in the first story of "Grave Robbers". The draft is equivalent to part of the director's script. Various shapes about monster attacks, retreats, broken arms, and broken belly were drawn one by one by Kang Jianfei.
"Oh, this thing looks so ugly." Coaster Ross glanced at the drawing and laughed strangely. He is not only good at running a company, but also good at making special effects. He can help when there is not enough staff.
Stan Winston flipped through the drawings one by one, and then said after reading them all: "The special effects of this tree and the turtle tide are a bit troublesome. It is not a technical problem, but it takes time to do it."
"Time is not a problem, the actors of this movie have not yet been confirmed." Kang Jianfei smiled.
Stan Winston said: "I will bring you with you to Hong Kong in a few days. The special effects engineering volume of your movie is much larger than that of Terminator 2. You must prepare in advance."
"No problem, I'll go to Hong Kong together in a few days." Kang Jianfei also said that he would stay here until the New Year, but now he might have to break his promise, because Stan Winston must discuss with him as the director at any time for the preliminary preparations for the special effects.
After the two discussed the itinerary, Scott Ross said: "Leave the company's affairs to me."
Kang Jianfei stood up and shook hands with Scott Ross and said, "Mr. Ross, I am very relieved to hand over the company to you."
"Realize your mission." Scott Ross smiled. He was willing to leave Industrial Light and Magic and join the digital field, which was also a bit ambitious. It was not just for money.
...
After Kang Jianfei said goodbye to the two, he did not go back to Beverly Hills directly, but came to a hotel in Los Angeles. He stood at the door of a room and rang the doorbell. Soon the door opened, and Li Zhi, who had just finished taking a shower, stood inside.
When they entered the room, they took the door. Kang Jianfei hugged Lizhi without saying a word and kissed her. The two of them took off their clothes while kissing, and walked heavily to the big bed in the bedroom, with clothes spilling everywhere along the way.
As one of Kang Jianfei's secretary, Li Zhi is responsible for the United States and usually only collects information. Report to Kang Jianfei in an important way. Or if there are important figures in the United States who want to see Kang Jianfei, she will ask and arrange it on her behalf.
In short, Lizhi's work can be said to be very idle or very busy, but she is living a very comfortable life.
Many times, Lizhi stays in the United States. People who are a little more informed in Hollywood know that she is Kang Jianfei’s personal secretary. So Lizhi is very proud in the circle. Some well-known stars even take the initiative to approach and please her.
The only thing that made Lizhi dissatisfied with was her emotional life. She dared not look for other men, and it was difficult to see Kang Jianfei from afar, but her work was sometimes boring, which made it extremely uncomfortable.
Sometimes, Li Zhi would fly to Hong Kong to have a private meeting with Kang Jianfei on the grounds of work to relieve the pain of lovesickness...
Before Kang Jianfei could slowly appreciate her devilish figure, Lizhi was already like an octopus, with all his limbs wrapped around Kang Jianfei's strong male body.
After the passion, Lizhi, who was filled with emptiness, lay on Kang Jianfei with satisfaction and said, "Sophie Marceau's plane was at 8 o'clock in the evening, and the room was across the aisle."
Kang Jianfei stroked Lizhi's slender waist and kissed her cheek and said, "Don't mention other women now, I only have you in my heart."
"No matter how nice this coaxing words sound, do you think I will believe it?" Li Zhi said resentfully, "You don't know how lonely it is to stay alone in the United States."
Kang Jianfei patted her buttocks and comforted her: "Okay, I'll go back to Hong Kong a few more times in the future."
Lizhi didn't complain anymore, she just lay in Kang Jianfei's arms and told the pain of lovesickness. She talked about her experiences in the Hollywood circle, and finally fell asleep.
Kang Jianfei helped her cover her quilt, got up and took a shower, then picked up the keys on the cabinet and went to the opposite room.
Since parting in France, Kang Jianfei has met Sophie Marceau in a total of five times in the past year, three of which were Sophie Marceau who came to Hong Kong to find him.
This time, "The Pretty Beauty" was sold well in North America. As the heroine, Sophie Marceau became famous in Hollywood, and her salary even rose to $3 million. Many directors still invited her to film. Sophie Marceau finally decided to move to Los Angeles to settle down. She is no longer the second-year middle school girl who only knew art. The salary of $3 million is much more attractive than French art films, not to mention that if she encounters a good script, she can go back to France at any time.
When it comes to Hollywood celebrity pay, we have to mention the agency caa. It is the rise of this company that has driven the soaring pay for Hollywood celebrities in recent years to a certain extent.
In the early 1980s, Hollywood A-level stars generally paid only two to three million dollars in films. Only a few years have passed, and the pay of big-name stars has been many millions or even tens of millions of dollars.
Take "Terminator 2" for example. The male lead Arnold Schwarzenegger's pay is $8 million, which is definitely a sky-high price. Moreover, the $8 million pay was due to Kang Jianfei's existence, which made the movie film more than a year ahead of schedule, otherwise Schwarzenegger's pay would have increased to at least 10 million.
In comparison, when Arnold Schwarzenegger filmed the first part of "Terminator", his salary was only 750,000, which was so popular.
Kang Jianfei came to the room opposite and estimated that he ordered two meals and asked someone to deliver them. Sophie Marceau came soon.
"It's going well on the road." Kang Jianfei took the luggage in her hand and kissed Sophie Marceau's forehead.
"It went very smoothly, but I was a little sleepy after taking the plane for a long time." Sophie Marceau said.
Kang Jianfei put his suitcase in place and said, "Then let's eat something first, wash and rest early."
"Well," Sophie Marceau nodded and said, "Fei, you can accompany me to see the house tomorrow. I want to buy one in the suburbs of Los Angeles."
"No need, the house is ready for you, just move in." Kang Jianfei smiled.
"You always think so thoughtful." Sophie Marceau smiled and held the fork, stuffed a piece of cut meat from the plate on the table into his mouth, and said in a hurry, "Even the steak is cut."
Kang Jianfei asked with a smile: "Did you suddenly feel very happy?"
Sophie Marceau raised his eyebrows: "Don't you want to buy me with a house and a plate of steak."
Kang Jianfei asked: "What else do you want?"
Sophie Marceau thought for a while and said, "Spend more time with me."
