Chapter 739: Lucas' plight
The filming took two days to complete, in which Johnson Lin and the boy Joe were about to show that they were facing real laptops and mobile phones.
Of course, there is no problem with Lin Qiangsheng. Even if the laptop in front of him is just a good product and there is nothing on the screen, he seems to be operating on a real laptop, as if there is really someone talking to him on the screen.
But Joe was not so easy. The little boy was only six years old, and he had never seen a big-screen mobile phone. Lin Johnson and Joe's mother coaxed him together and told the boy how to do it.
When shooting the scene on the dining table, "his" son snatched his phone, turned on the game, pretended to press and press on the screen, smiling exaggeratedly, as if the "game" really began.
After finally finishing the shooting, Joe's mother Julia hurried over. Qiao immediately left her fake cell phone and threw herself into her mother's arms.
Lin Johnson came over and said to Julia, "Joe is very smart. Your son is such a good boy. Thank you!"
Julia stroked her son's soft hair and said with a smile: "I've always been proud of him!"
Seeing that Lin Johnson turned his head, the boy pouted and turned his face. Lin Johnson said, "The filming is finally over. I want to thank you very much. Joe, you can make a request to me, I will try my best to satisfy you. What are you trying to do?"
Julia looked at her son, Joe turned her head, and the little boy asked naively, "Can I go to school?"
Julia's face changed and she hurriedly said to him: "We will go to school tomorrow!"
She said helplessly to Lin Johnson: "Joe misses his friends at school very much, but we also need money. It is not cheap to go to a good school!"
Lin Johnson nodded and asked Joe: "Do you like Star Wars?"
Joe recalled for a moment, nodded with a smile and said, "I like, I like Luke!"
Lin Johnson smiled and said, "I can accompany you to visit the studio and prop library of Star Wars. That is where it was born. There are so many new things that you will definitely like!"
Qiao asked curiously: "Is there a laser sword?"
Lin Johnson nodded and said, "Yes, and Sith warriors in armor!"
Joe looked at his mother. Julia nodded happily to him, and the little boy danced happily and giggled.
This is the last scene, the outdoor scene has been filmed. Lin Johnson and Julia discussed it. She thought it was good to take her son to see the shooting location of "Star Wars", but the only thing she was worried about was that Joe was a little tired and probably couldn't go today.
Lin Johnson said: "This is not a problem. I can book a premium hotel for you in Van Noos, and I will pay for everything. You can rest for a long time, and we will visit again in the afternoon, and stay in the hotel in the evening. I will send a car to take you off tomorrow morning!"
Julia didn't expect that there would be such a good thing. Her son filmed two scenes, which was $1,000, which was quite generous for Lin Johnson. The cost of staying in a high-end hotel was not low, so she had no objection. She took her son and went to Vannus City with Lin Johnson.
Lin Johnson is already very familiar with the employees of Industrial Light and Magic. In the production of props and animations, he has watched a lot of production processes. From designing to sample production, he basically followed him and gave a lot of opinions. The staff followed his ideas and turned the things on the drawings into real objects.
Due to the tight time, the laptop was replaced directly with the Toshiba t1100, which is a laptop that Toshiba just released this year. For the sake of need, it has been sprayed into black as a whole, and the keyboard has been retained. The screen has doubled and a large distance extends backwards. It looks better.
The mobile phone is easy to make. I directly found a similar LCD screen. Put it in the slot of the prop and glue it and paint it black. The driving computer is also made in this way, which is very simple.
The most difficult thing is to use computer animation to create and display content. In this regard, we have to rely on the joint cooperation between Lasset's animation department and Kamr's computer department.
In fact, these two departments should be considered a large department, a bit like a subsidiary of Lucas Pictures. Lucas is very capable of managing. He set up subsidiaries in different departments of the company, the special effects company is called Industrial Light Magic, the entertainment game is called Lucas Art Co., Ltd., and Lucas Pictures is responsible for film production and distribution.
By the way, Lucasfilm has been working with Disney to release movies.
After getting in touch with Kaml for a long time, Lin Johnson proposed the idea of his desire to acquire the computer animation department.
Kaml is the vice president and the actual person in charge of this department. He is very interested in Lin Johnson's acquisition, mainly because Lucas has invested a lot of money in the computer animation department before, hoping that this department can benefit him. However, after all, the film industry is still unfamiliar with computer animation and is relatively resistant. Hollywood's developed film industry has become the biggest obstacle to new technologies.
This short film by Johnson Lin is the first business outside the film company that Kaml received. He has been worried about not being able to find investors. If there is no investment, it will not be guaranteed for everyone's job. The boss is the boss, and Lucas needs employees to create benefits for him.
Lin Johnson invited Jamie Curtis to Van Noos. He admired the actress very much. Logically speaking, Jamie should be a rich second generation, but she has no spoiled temperament at all, and it is easy to get along with.
In the afternoon, the four people accompanied by Lucas to visit the huge warehouse of Industrial Light and Magic, which displays many props from "Star Wars", which made Qiao Huan so happy, as if he had dug up a treasure.
"Mom, what do you think this is?" Qiao held a metal grip in his hand, and the little guy needed to hold it with both hands to hold it.
Lin Johnson smiled and said, "Little Skywalker, have you found your weapon?"
Qiao Tian pressed the handle really, and his cute look made everyone laugh. He thought the laser sword was broken, and he looked at his mother and the laughing adults in confusion.
Julia didn't know how to answer her son, so she could only look at him helplessly. Lin Johnson said, "Well, maybe it's out of power!"
Qiao looked at Lin Johnson and his mother, curled his lips and said, "Lin, you lied to me, this is like those props, it's fake!"
Lin Qiangsheng was embarrassed all of a sudden. Faced with the little boy's questioning, he could only smile awkwardly and said, "There is also black armor, which is more fun!"
Joe lowered the hilt of the sword and saw the armor in the direction of his finger. He ran over and Julia followed him.
Jamie Curtis smiled and said to Johnson Lin, "Lin, you shouldn't deceive children. They are very sensitive inside and can understand anything!"
Lin Johnson nodded and shook his head, and said to Jamie: "But these cannot be explained clearly to the child. Then he will lose a lot of fun when watching Star Wars in the future!"
Jamie thought about it and felt that Johnson Lin was saying something. Lucas said to Johnson Lin: "Then let them discover what everyone will think about watching "Star Wars"? No one knows. This is the charm of this movie!"
Lin Johnson nodded and said, "That's right, maybe Qiao will become a scientist in the future, develop a strong interest in exploring the universe, or become a novelist and fantasize about the future. I think a great film can give people beautiful vision and hope, and this is its charm!"
