Stan Winston moved very quickly, poaching someone from Industrial Light and Magic in just a few days.
To be precise, it was poached by James Cameron who was still doing post-production work on "Terminator 2". By the way, James Cameron himself also wanted to join the "Digital Realm" special effects company.
"This is Scott Ross, a senior special effects artist at Industrial Light and Magic and an account manager." Stan Winston introduced.
Scott Ross was over 50 years old and was dressed in a very formal suit. He held Kang Jian's flying hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Kang, nice to meet you."
"Hello, Mr. Ross." Kang Jianfei felt that this guy's hands were rough. It seemed that he had often built movie models with his own hands when he was young.
James Cameron and Scott Ross met when they were filming the first part of "Terminator". They collaborated again in "Terminator 2". The relationship between Cameron and Industrial Light and Magic is
Contact Scott Ross.
In another time and space, after filming "Terminator 2", Scott Ross left Industrial Light and Magic and co-founded a digital special effects company with Cameron. Cameron then brought his friend Stan Winston to
Pull in, and the troika in the digital field will be gathered together.
Among the three, Scott Ross is mainly responsible for the company's operation and management, James Cameron is responsible for making blockbusters and raising problems, and Stan Winston is responsible for gathering people to solve problems. In raising and solving problems again and again,
Companies in the digital field grew step by step, and eventually became as dominant as Industrial Light and Magic in the field of film special effects.
For example, in James Cameron's blockbuster "Titanic", a lot of special effects were completed in the digital field, but most people only noticed the role of Industrial Light and Magic in this shipwreck film.
James Cameron is busy doing the post-production of "Terminator", so he is not here today. The only people sitting together now are Kang Jianfei, Stan Winston and Scott Ross.
When Kang Jianfei originally talked about poaching people from Industrial Light and Magic, he asked Stan Winston to poach a few computer special effects talents. Who knew that he poached a management talent?
But it didn't matter, because Scott Ross patted his chest and said that he had the computer special effects talents.
Everyone first confirmed the company's shares. Kang Jianfei, as the financier, holds 65% of the shares in the digital field; Stan Winston originally had some shares in the special effects studio, and now his special effects studio has been merged into the new company. The original
Including his status as an entrepreneurial veteran, he holds 18 shares of the company; while James Cameron and Scott Ross hold 9 and 8 shares respectively.
Scott Ross is very satisfied with the shares Kang Jianfei gave him, because Hollywood special effects companies have begun to make money in recent years. Weinstein's special effects studio also had a considerable profit in the past year. The new company has 8 shares.
Give Scott Ross hope to become a rich man in the future.
For a special effects artist who is over 50 years old, talking about entrepreneurial ideals is a bit ethereal, and real equity is the most convincing.
"I heard that Mr. Kang is planning to cooperate with Stanford University?" Scott Ross asked.
Kang Jianfei nodded and said, "This plan was proposed by Mr. Winston. What do you think?"
Scott Ross smiled and said: "It's a very wise choice. Once we reach a cooperative relationship with Stanford, the talent and technology reserves in the digital field will be in place in one step."
Kang Jianfei said: "I am going to donate 8 million US dollars to Stanford University. Mr. Ross, please contact me."
The US$8 million at this time is not the US$8 million 20 years later. It is also a huge amount of money for Stanford University.
Kang Jianfei’s donation is not a waste of money. If he donates the 8 million US dollars, he will be recognized at Stanford University. Not only will the cooperation between the digital field and Stanford University be smoother this time, but his children may also be
When a friend's child enters Stanford, as long as Kang Jianfei makes the request, the admission conditions will be much more favorable.
Coster Ross said happily: "That's great. With this donation, I am 100% sure to achieve cooperation with Stanford in the digital field."
Kang Jianfei didn't want to care about the future operation and development of companies in the digital field. He could just leave it to professionals anyway. He opened the briefcase he brought, took out a stack of drawings, and said: "This is a company in the digital field.
This is my first business, and I hope everyone can successfully complete the company's entrepreneurial work."
The things Kang Jianfei drew were the corpse turtles, blood corpses, hydra cypresses and other monsters in the first story of "Tomb Robbers". The drawings are equivalent to part of the director's script, about monster attacks, defeats, broken arms, and broken bellies.
Various shapes were drawn one by one by Kang Jianfei.
"Oh, this thing looks really ugly." Coster Ross took a look at the drawing and screamed with laughter. Not only does he know how to run a company, he is also a good hand in special effects production. He can also help when there are not enough people.
help.
Stan Winston flipped through the drawings one by one, and after reading them all, he said: "The special effects of this tree and the corpse turtle tide are a bit troublesome. It is not a technical problem, but it is time-consuming to do."
"Time is not a problem, the actors for this movie have not been confirmed yet." Kang Jianfei said with a smile.
Stan Winston said: "I will take my manpower to go to Hong Kong with you in a few days. The amount of special effects work for your movie is much greater than that of "Terminator 2", so preparations must be made in advance."
"No problem, let's go to Hong Kong together in a few days." Kang Jianfei also said that he would stay here until the Chinese New Year, but now he may have to break his promise because Stan Winston must discuss with him as the director at any time for the preliminary preparations for special effects.
Just fine.
After the two discussed the itinerary, Scott Ross said: "Leave the company's affairs to me."
Kang Jianfei stood up, shook hands with Scott Ross and said, "Mr. Ross, I feel relieved to hand over the company to you."
"It fulfills its mission." Scott Ross smiled. He was willing to leave Industrial Light and Magic to join the digital field. It was also a bit ambitious, and it was not just for money.
…
After Kang Jianfei said goodbye to the two of them, he did not go back to Beverly Hills directly, but came to a hotel in Los Angeles. He stood at the door of a certain room and rang the doorbell. Soon the door opened, and there was a man who had just finished taking a shower.
Lizhi.
After entering the room and closing the door behind him, Kang Jianfei hugged Lizhi and started kissing her passionately without saying a word. The two of them took off their clothes while kissing, and walked to the big bed in the bedroom with heavy breathing, with clothes scattered everywhere along the way.
As one of Kang Jianfei's secretaries, Lizhi was responsible for the United States. She usually only collected information and selected important information to report to Kang Jianfei. Or if there were important people in the United States who wanted to see Kang Jianfei, she would inquire and make arrangements on his behalf.
In short, Lizhi's work can be said to be very leisurely or very busy, but she still lives a very comfortable life.
Lizhi spends a lot of time in the United States. People in Hollywood who are a little more well-informed know that she is Kang Jianfei's personal secretary, so Lizhi is very respectable in the circle, and some famous celebrities will even take the initiative to approach and please her.
she.
The only thing that dissatisfied Lizhi was her love life. She didn't dare Hongxing to go out and find another man, and it was difficult to see Kang Jianfei across the ocean. However, her work was sometimes boring.
The situation is extremely uncomfortable.
Sometimes, Lizhi would use work as an excuse to fly to Hong Kong to have a private meeting with Kang Jianfei to relieve the pain of lovesickness. Sometimes she would simply masturbate to solve personal problems.
Before Kang Jianfei could slowly appreciate her devilish figure, Lizhi was already like an octopus, with all her 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 flight is at eight o'clock in the evening, and the room is across the aisle."
Kang Jianfei stroked Lizhi's slender waist, kissed her cheek and said, "Don't mention other women now, you are the only one in my heart."
"No matter how nice your words are, do you think I will believe you?" Lizhi 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 will go back to Hong Kong more times in the future."
Lizhi stopped complaining and just lay in Kang Jianfei's arms and told her about the pain of lovesickness. She also talked about some of her experiences in the Hollywood circle and finally fell asleep.
Kang Jianfei covered her with the quilt, got up and took a shower, then picked up the key on the cabinet and went to the opposite room.
In the past year or so since their separation in France, Kang Jianfei met Sophie Marceau five times in total, and three of them were when Sophie Marceau came to Hong Kong to look for him.
This time, "Pretty Woman" is a hit in North America. As the heroine, Sophie Marceau has become famous in Hollywood. Her salary even suddenly increased to 3 million US dollars. Many directors still ask her to film. Sophie Marceau
She finally decided to move to Los Angeles and settle down. She is no longer the middle-school girl who only knew art. The salary of 3 million US dollars is much more attractive than French art films, not to mention that she can return to France at any time if she encounters a good script.
When it comes to the salaries of Hollywood stars, we have to mention the brokerage company CAA. It is the rise of this company that has, to a certain extent, driven the skyrocketing salaries of Hollywood stars in recent years.
In the early 1980s, the salary of top Hollywood stars was usually only two to three million US dollars. In just a few years, the salary of big-name stars has easily reached millions, or even tens of millions of dollars.
Take "Terminator 2" as an example. The male lead Arnold Schwarzenegger's salary is 8 million US dollars, which is definitely a sky-high price. Moreover, the 8 million US dollars salary is because of the existence of Kang Jianfei, which makes this film
The movie was shot more than a year in advance, otherwise Schwarzenegger's salary would have to rise to at least 10 million.
To compare before and after, when Arnold Schwarzenegger was filming the first part of "Terminator", his salary was only 750,000, which made him famous very quickly.
Kang Jianfei came to the room opposite, estimated the time and ordered two meals to be served. Sophie Marceau came not long after waiting.
"Have a good trip?" Kang Jianfei took the luggage in her hand and kissed Sophie Marceau on the forehead.
"It went very smoothly, but I was a little sleepy after sitting on the plane for a long time." Sophie Marceau said.
Kang Jianfei put the suitcase away and said, "Then let's eat something first, wash up and get some rest early."
"Well," Sophie Marceau nodded and said, "Fei, please accompany me to see a house tomorrow. I want to buy one in the suburbs of Los Angeles."
"No need, the house has been prepared for you, just move in." Kang Jianfei said with a smile.
"You are always so considerate." Sophie Marceau smiled, holding the fork, stuffing a cut steak from the plate on the table into her mouth, and said in a whisper, "Even the steak has been cut.
.”
Kang Jianfei smiled and asked: "Do you suddenly feel very happy?"
Sophie Marceau raised her eyebrows: "Don't think about buying me with a house and a plate of steak."
Kang Jianfei asked: "Then what do you want?"
Sophie Marceau thought for a moment and said, "Spend more time with me."
"No problem, I'll be with you these days." What Kang Jianfei was thinking about was how to explain to Lin Qingxia and Lin Fengjiao. I don't know if he could handle it if they were running on both sides. r1152
