Chapter 896 Movies are more important than technology
When you become famous at a young age, it may not be a good thing, and sometimes it will make a lot of people blind. The "Transformers" series has undergone many changes in Duke's hands. One of the heroines, Amber Hilde, can be described as being so red that she looks purple. She is definitely the most popular idol actor in the world in recent years.
Like most young actors, Amber Hilde is inevitably self-inflated and does something inappropriate.
For example, she can't control her mouth.
Originally, Transformers 4 was going to inherit the previous story and create a film starring Amber Heard and a Chinese movie star, but the plan never changes faster than that. With Amber Heard being eliminated, the whole story returned to Michael Bay's former rhythm.
Amber Hilde has attracted much attention for her beautiful performance in the Transformers trilogy and is also known as one of the sexiest actresses in the world. Although Amber Hilde claims to have withdrawn from Transformers 4 in order to seek better opportunities, she is really a disaster this time.
In an interview, Amber Hilde described Duke as a dictator on the set when filming "Transformers", just like the tyrant Hitler, which made people have nightmares. After she received the interview, her name immediately disappeared from the crew of "Transformers 4".
Duke only called Michael Bay at that time, "Fry her, change someone."
Just like Megan Fox is in a slump after leaving the Transformers series, Amber Hilde's road in Hollywood will definitely become narrower and narrower in the future.
"Why did Michael Bay choose Nicola Peltz?"
In the garden of Duke's Manor, Scarlett Johnson, who was walking with Duke, asked in confusion, "She does not meet Michael's usual requirements for the heroine."
Holding Scarlett's arm, Duke slowly walked among the palm trees and said, "Maybe Michael Bay wants to make some changes."
When I first saw the photos of Nicola Peltz, many movie fans' first reaction was that they were a little disappointed. The baby-faced heroine was not sexy at all, but Michael Bay and Duke had communicated with Nicola Peltz. The young image of Nicola Peltz is in line with the identity of the female high school student in the script re-written by "Transformers 4".
After that conversation, Nelson Peltz's Snape Beverage not only became the main sponsor of Transformers 4, but also invested $25 million in the film. Duke and Michael Bay had no reason not to choose Nicola Peltz.
Moreover, such investment will also bring certain returns. Michael Bay selected acting actor Mark Wahlberg to play Nicola Peltz's father in the film, and Irish actor Jack Reno will play her boyfriend. The two tough guys have become green leaves, and it is difficult for a little loli to be popular.
Strictly speaking, actors like Nicola Peltz who are born into child stars naturally have more opportunities in Hollywood than other ordinary actresses.
Among the child stars in Hollywood, the second generation of stars and the second generation of wealthy generation are not unusual, but dual identities like Nicola Peltz who are both second generation of stars and second generations are really rare. Although Nicola Peltz, born in 1995, is not famous enough, when it comes to family background, it can be said that she is a white and rich beauty born with a super platinum spoon.
Needless to say, her father Nelson Peltz, her mother is also a former supermodel Claudia Hefner. She has inherent advantages in making Hollywood.
Duke and Scarlett Johnson walked around the garden and saw that the time was almost the same. When he returned to the villa, he changed into a relatively formal outfit. He didn't wait long in the living room. Erin Lauder, who came to Los Angeles from New York to Los Angeles, came to visit him at the agreed time.
"Dear, I haven't seen you for a long time."
After Scarlett Johnson greeted Erin Lauder, Duke hugged her gently and deliberately joked, "Your wealth is getting richer and richer."
Erin Lauder chuckled and said, "No matter how good it is, you are."
When Duke brought Erin Lauder to the sofa, Scarlett asked in time, "What to drink, black tea or coffee?"
"The black tea is ready." Erin Lauder was not polite either. He took the tea cup sent by Scarlett, took a sip, and said in admiration. "Scarlett, your tea making skills are getting better and better."
Scarlett poured a cup for Duke and herself, and smiled at Erin Lauder, "The doctor and the nutritionist both advised Duke not to drink coffee, so I had to think of some solutions on making tea."
Erin Lauder put down his teacup and looked at Duke. "I really envy you and Scar."
Without waiting for Duke to say anything, she took the initiative to change the topic, "I only found out that my cousin Nelson Pelz had contacted you a few days ago. Has it caused you trouble?"
"Don't worry, no." Duke shook his head gently, "Nelson Peltz brings me help."
Erin Lauder was puzzled, "Help? What kind of help?"
Scarlett Johnson took the initiative to take the initiative to talk about the matter and Erin Lauder couldn't help laughing, "It would be a pity that you didn't go to business."
Several people laughed at the same time.
After talking about their respective investments and businesses, the three of them gradually turned to "Star Wars: The Force Awakens".
"The heroine will be a British actor, and the hero is a Chinese actor..." Duke briefly introduced a few words, "The second hero is a Latino American, and the original iron triangle Mark Hamill, Kelly Fisher and Harrison Ford will also return."
The negotiations between the crew and actors of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" have entered the final stage, and it is basically confirmed that Daisy Ridley, Daniel Wu, and Oscar Isaac will be the new Star Wars Iron Triangle.
Duke also left the actors with nearly three months of preparation period. Such a short preparation time is undoubtedly a bit nervous, but in order to meet the needs of publicity, the start of the new "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" has long been set by Duke and Lucasfilm on Star Wars Day.
Star Wars Day is a festival derived from the famous line "may.the.force (homophony forth)be. (May the Force be with you)".
This special festival dates back to 1979. Mrs. Thatcher was just elected as the first female prime minister of Britain. To congratulate her on her election, the ruling party published an advertisement on half a page in the London Evening News to write:.,!
After that, on May 4th, loyal Star Wars fans shouted the saying "May the Force be with you" in every corner of the world. Over time, this day was officially designated as "Star Wars Day". May 4th of each year also formed a tradition of revisiting Star Wars culture.
Setting the start of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens" on this day will undoubtedly attract the attention of countless media and movie fans.
Originally, Duke and Scarlett planned to invite Erin Lauder and Sophia Coppola to go out to sea the next day, but something went wrong with the special effects of "The Force Awakening" produced by the Industrial Light and Magic headquarters. Duke had to rush to San Francisco. Fortunately, Erin Lauder was also an avid movie fan when he was young. He was also very interested in the famous Industrial Light and Magic. Duke simply took her to San Francisco and visited the Industrial Light and Magic headquarters.
The Industrial Light Magic Headquarters is located on a hill in San Francisco's pastoral Pusidi Park, which is also one of the most important military bases on the West Coast of the United States. At the main entrance of the company, a sculpture of Master Yoda stands calmly in the middle of the courtyard. It seems that he is greeting the employees and tourists who are coming and going.
Behind the statue is a group of renovated buildings connected internally and well-lit. These buildings are warm rooms that give birth to world-renowned special effects blockbusters, a laboratory for exploring future technological development, and a museum that pays tribute to the company's own history and film works.
Inside the building, it is not difficult to see some familiar faces, black warriors, r2-d2, e.t. sitting in bicycle baskets, and a wide range of trophies - in terms of technical achievements alone, Industrial Light and Magic won 26 Oscars, and the walls of the corridor were hung with a large collection of valuable private movie posters.
Of course, these posters are by no means ordinary decorations. It is the film art form they represent that brings these like-minded people together and form the Industrial Light and Magic.
"Movies are more important than technology" - this concept has evolved into an important purpose of Industrial Light and Magic, and has led it to continue to grow and develop.
While special effects companies such as Digital Kingdom and R&H have been stumbled one after another, Industrial Light and Magic has not taken a wrong step, but they are still facing strong competition from special effects companies such as Vita Studio, Framestorecfc, Dneg and MPC.
These companies that are both enemies and friends together outline the future territory of the film visual effects industry.
The competition is getting stronger and stronger, and the prospects of Industrial Light and Magic are full of challenges. Technical advantages are undoubtedly the most commendable aspects of Industrial Light and Magic. Industrial Light and Magic is the only special effects company that has won the national science and technology medal in the United States. This shows that Industrial Light and Magic's technical strength is extraordinary. Rather than saying that Industrial Light and Magic is a special effects company, it is better to say that it is a technical research and development and application center of the American film industry base. Many latest technologies in the field of computer graphics and images were the earliest used by Industrial Light and Magic for film production.
However, Industrial Light and Magic has never been tied to technology. For company members, no effect cannot be achieved. The key is to work closely with the director and the crew, try to meet the director's requirements, and maintain their attitude towards the quality of the special effects.
In the future technological development of Industrial Light and Magic, the Star Wars series will once again play a role in promoting it.
Every movie is a technological innovation, and "Star Wars: The Force Awakening" will not be an exception. Every new film will achieve an innovation, which has become an indispensable part of the development of Industrial Light and Magic. All the new technologies developed will be used for subsequent movies. All the technologies developed by Industrial Light and Magic in the past few years will be reflected in various forms in "Star Wars: The Force Awakening".
Subsequently, the negotiations between the crew and the main actors were completed, and Lucasfilm officially announced the list of actors. During this special period when the Oscars ceremony was about to be held, some glass hearts inevitably broke. (To be continued.)
ps: I was busy lately. My wife has a baby and she is almost unable to drive the car. She can only take the driver's license exam. I just took a physical examination yesterday and found that the glasses are a bit low and the corrected vision cannot meet the requirements...
