"Brother Guodong, where is that Industrial Light & Magic company?"
Liu Lang felt that although Industrial Light and Magic was not a big company, it was founded by the great director Lucas after all. Isn't Lucas's reputation as good as these small companies?
"Mr. Liu, we'll be here soon!"
Lin Guodong pointed to the front just after he finished speaking. Liu Lang looked over and saw that there was a factory a few hundred meters away. There were three factories and an office building built in it. There were four buildings in total, and the factory area was not big.
It's only about 7,000 square meters. A factory of this size is really no different from those small factories.
"This is Industrial Light & Magic? It's really unique!"
Other factories plant flowers, plants and trees in the open space, and some even build rockery pavilions to have some sentiment. However, the factory in front of us is a different scene.
The open space is filled with various models, including spaceship models made of steel, building models made of wood, and many human-shaped statues. There are all kinds of strange and weird ones, such as human-shaped statues with dog faces, and six with fangs.
There are monsters with beast-like legs, and there are many unnamed guys, but few of them look human anyway.
Liu Lang saw some images from the Star Wars movies among these models, but he forgot their names.
The car arrived in front of the door, and the door was not closed, but Lin Guodong still pressed the doorbell, and soon a man rode a three-wheeled car from inside.
"Dear Liu, why are you so free today? Do you agree with our quotation? You must know that we are the best special effects company in Hollywood. Although the price is more expensive, the effects we produce are absolutely first-class!"
Liu Lang knew that Lin Guodong was negotiating with Industrial Light and Magic to produce the Transformers cartoon. The production cost of each episode was 35,000 US dollars, which was 10,000 US dollars higher than other animation production companies. It can be said to be the highest price in the United States.
But Lin Guodong felt that these guys were deceiving him. Even though Liu Lang told him to pay more attention to them, in his eyes, what value did a company that was about to go bankrupt have?
"Jack, I've said it before, your asking price is too high. Even if you can produce better quality pictures as you said, the increase in cost means a decrease in profits. With our Transformers image, even if it is produced into the most ordinary animation
It will also sell well, and the market will not recognize your approach regardless of cost!"
Lin Guodong replied.
"Ha, you Chinese are all very stingy... OK, what are you doing here? Looking for George? If you still insist on your previous decision, then you don't need to see him!"
"Jack, I can't say anything about the price, because I'm just the head of a branch, but this time I invited our chairman, and he came in person to see George!"
"Oh, Chairman? Are you the Chairman of Shengtang?"
The other party looked at Sun Mingren and Sun Hu. There were only three of them present... No, there was another child, he should be the chairman's son!
"Mr. Jack, I am not the chairman!"
Sun Mingren smiled and shook his head.
Sun Hu's face was serious and expressionless, as if everything had nothing to do with him. Of course, he was not the chairman.
"You're not, are you the one driving the car?"
Jack looked into the car again.
"Mr. Jack, I am the chairman of Shengtang Company. You can just call me Jimmy!"
Liu Lang finally spoke at this time.
"you………?"
The other party glanced at Liu Lang, and then his face darkened.
"You Chinese people are really annoying. Are you bringing a kid here to laugh at us? Huh, you go, we won't deal with rude people!"
Obviously the other party thought that Lin Guodong was teasing him.
"Mr. Jack, the Chinese are a group of modest and polite people. How can they deceive their friends? I am indeed the chairman of Shengtang Company, and I am also the designer of all Transformers images. If you go to the U.S. Patent Office to search, you can find out who I am.
What you said is correct!"
Sun Mingren and Lin Guodong looked at the red-faced Jack. The angry and embarrassed expression on the other side was really funny. To be honest, you can always see various expressions around Liu Lang, including anger, embarrassment, and confusion.
, surprised and even dumbfounded, the other party's expression changed so quickly and richly that it was far better than any actor.
"Are you...are you a stupid kid?"
There was a look of confusion on the other person's face.
"Mr. Jack, it seems that you know too little about China. We Chinese are not only humble and polite, but also geniuses and prodigies. I am seven years old this year and founded Shengtang Company two years ago, but in my hometown there is also
At the average level, there are many people who are better than me, and the most powerful one among them can speak since he was born, so he is much better than me."
Sun Mingren and Lin Guodong were holding back their laughter. Liu Lang's language skills were so strong. Yesterday when he was talking to Robert, he was speaking in a "London accent", but now it has become authentic American English, and he even talked to the other person.
Jokes, this kind of language ability can be called language art.
After hearing Liu Lang's words, the other party's face showed a look of surprise again. Indeed, such words were not something a child could say.
"Are you...really only seven years old this year?"
"Okay, I'm here to discuss business with Director Lucas. If you can make the decision, we can also discuss it!"
"No, I'm not the chairman...Okay, come in!"
The other party's head is a little confused now, so we can only let the other party come in first and then talk.
Several people entered the factory area and were led by each other to the central workshop. This was a steel structure workshop, all made of steel bars. Steel structure buildings have not yet appeared in China, but they have been in the United States for a long time.
It has become popular. The Empire State Building, the second tallest building in the United States, is made entirely of steel structures. What are the tallest buildings in the United States now? They are the two World Trade Center buildings that were hit by planes fifteen years later.
Walking into this spacious factory, Liu Lang and the others were immediately attracted by the scene inside.
This is obviously the studio of Industrial Light and Magic, with models placed everywhere, but unlike those models outside, many of the models here are "acted" by real people. For example, Liu Lang saw a monster image from Star Wars
, with two horns on its head and gray and rough skin. This monster is holding a big ax and swinging it around.
Of course this monster was dressed up by people, but the model and props were very realistic.
The humanoid monster was waving constantly, and two cameras were slowly rotating around him to capture his movements.
