When Lucas heard Lin Johnson's plan, he smiled and said, "Lin, I really regret selling Pixar to you!"

Lin Johnson shook his head and said to him: "George, you won't regret it! I will develop Pixar better. I know you have had such an idea before. Now I just take over your dream!"

George Lucas looked at Lin Johnson. Seeing his eyes very firm, he nodded in understanding and said, "I sincerely hope that Pixar can keep going and stand out in the animation field!"

Lucas also had the idea of ​​developing the industry when he founded the computer animation department, but he was too advanced. Now he was still ten years away from the mid-1990s when computer animation was developing greatly. George Lucas thought of the use of computer technology in movies in the late 1970s. One step ahead is a hero, but after he fell silent, being ahead means being unique and will not be widely accepted by everyone.

Today's computer special effects and animations cannot show shocking effects and are in a period of slow technical accumulation. Computer technology at this period has not played a decisive role in the film industry. In addition, Lucas's own financial problems are not as ambitious as before. He began to consider the most realistic problems. Without anyone to invest, it means that there is no income and it will go bankrupt. The subsequent financial losses and reputation losses are all things he cannot afford, so he must get rid of financial difficulties as soon as possible.

Lin Johnson's words a little intensely made Lucas' confidence. Maybe this young man would be a good successor!

Finally, under the witness of lawyers on both sides, George Lucas solemnly signed the Daming on the resale agreement, and since then Pixar officially belonged to Lin Johnson!

Lucas held his hand and said, "Lin, I hope we can cooperate more in the future. I still remember that you want to invest in Star Wars!"

Lin Johnson nodded with a smile. He also hoped that Lucas could lead him as a newcomer into the film industry. Moreover, if Pixar wants to develop, he is definitely inseparable from Lucas's Industrial Light and Magic!

He said to Lucas: "Pixar will definitely strengthen cooperation with Industrial Light and Magic in the future. George, I hope you can help us contact people in the circle. Pixar needs more opportunities, and maybe you will be invited to the platform in the future!"

Lucas laughed and said, "You're welcome, I'll charge you!"

Lin Johnson also smiled and said, "I can afford it!"

Lucas found that Lin Johnson was easy to get along with and was very sensible to his appetite. After a moment of silence, he suddenly said to Lin Johnson: "Lin, are you interested in joining Industrial Light Magic?"

Lin Johnson asked in surprise: "How to join?"

Lucas smiled and said, "I invite you to invest in Industrial Light and Magic. Become a member of us!" As he said that, he thought for a while and asked his lawyer, "David, how many shares do I have in Industrial Light and Magic?"

David said: "George, now you own a majority stake in Industrial Light and Magic, except for President Doug Nobi, Special Effects Director John Dextra, Creative Director Dennis Mullen, who have no more than 7% of the shares, everything else is yours!"

Lucas nodded and thought for a while. He said to Johnson Lin: "In this way, I will transfer 12% of your Industrial Light and Magic shares!"

Lin Qiang-sheng suppressed his surprise and asked, "How much?"

"$50 million!" George Lucas quoted a sky-high price.

Lin Johnson really hesitated for a moment, but in the end he nodded and said to Lucas: "It's acceptable, I agree, this is just a friendship price!"

George Lucas showed a look of surprise on his face. He was waiting for Lin Johnson to bargain, but he didn't expect that he would agree.

Lin Johnson also had a condition and said, "But George, I need some time! I have spent a little too much recently. You know, I have acquired many high-tech companies and set up a startup fund in Stanford!"

The acquisition of 12% of Industrial Light and Magic's shares for US$50 million is expensive, but it is definitely worth it!

Lin Johnson understands the value of Industrial Light and Magic very well. It is the only special effects company that has won the National Science and Technology Medal of the United States. Industrial Light and Magic's technical strength is extraordinary!

Rather than saying that Industrial Light and Magic is a special effects company, it is a technology research and development and application center at the West Coast film industry base in the United States. Many of the latest technologies in the field of computer graphics and graphics were the earliest used by Industrial Light and Magic for film production.

Many advanced technologies were developed or adopted by this company, such as camera motion control system, using G technology to generate scenes, G characters, develop r image formats, establish image standards, and establish th sound effects standards.

It was the first to use video motion capture technology. When other companies were still using infrared cameras and putting reflective balls on actors, Industrial Light and Magic had adopted the process of identifying QR codes and point cloud information from the video.

The developed fluid special effects production process uses satellite remote sensing technology to observe ocean data. It lasts for a year to simulate the real ocean. "Pirates of the Caribbean", "Super Battleship", and "Pacific Rim", the extremely shocking sea scene is actually made by computers.

However, these are just a small part of the technology developed by Industrial Light and Magic. It is too great to describe its achievements!

In addition to these exciting technologies, Industrial Light and Magic has also fully involved in several major fields such as movies, TV series, advertising, and mtv. The industry is huge, the business is stable, and the industry is the first. This is what Lin Johnson values ​​the most.

Driven by Industrial Light and Magic, the best special effects company, he can build a leapfrog special effects technology team in China, and it is not impossible to gradually form an industry in China. Lin Johnson has this confidence and he wants to eventually change the process of China's film technology.

George Lucas did quote a sky-high price. He also thought that Johnson Lin would definitely bargain, but he didn't expect that he agreed so quickly. This surprised him and was a little surprised. The price was twice as high as the actual price. Unexpectedly, the young man in front of him agreed very happily. Lucas even began to regret that he had paid less.

"Of course, I can wait. We can sign a letter of intent first. You know there are many people who are interested in Industrial Light Magic!" Lucas said tentatively.

Lin Qiangsheng smiled, nodded happily and said, "Okay, I can sign a letter of intent!"

George Lucas was overjoyed. With Lin Johnson's money, he solved his major financial problems. He divorced his wife before, but lost half of his property, and the investment in the past two years was not going well.

This transaction was enough to relieve him. Even with this money, plus the $10 million Lin Johnson acquired Pixar, he could prepare for the fourth Star Wars.

The lawyers immediately drafted a letter of intent again. Lin Johnson asked Lucas with some confusion: "George, forgive me for asking, are you short of money now?"

Lucas hesitated for a moment. Westerners were reluctant to inquire about their financial issues, which belonged to *. But Lin Johnson signed such a big agreement with him, so he nodded silently and said, "Lin, I advise you that you must be cautious when choosing a partner, otherwise you will really lose both talents!"

Lin Qiangsheng held his laughter and nodded in agreement and said, "Believe me, I may not have any concerns about you!"

"I hope!" Lucas teased.

Lin Johnson suggested: "George, I can tell you an investment plan that will ensure that your assets will increase by 40% within half a year, and there will be absolutely no problem!"

The lawyers and Kaml in the conference room were curious as they heard the conversation between them. Lucas asked in surprise: "Really? Lin, what investment plan is it? Are you an investor?"

However, Lin Johnson's lawyer's eyes lit up and he immediately raised his ears. He smiled and said, "Ha, Mr. Lucas, don't you know that Mr. Lin is a famous investment master? He is very famous on Wall Street!"

"Really, it's incredible!" Lucas and Kaml were even more shocked when they heard this introduction. It seemed that they still didn't know much about the young man in front of them!

Lin Johnson didn't ask them to wait too long. In fact, he also deliberately made friends with this great director and made him owe him personal favors. So he said: "I expect the yen to appreciate significantly within three months. If you have no investment yet, buy it quickly. Your assets will appreciate by 40% by the end of the year. It is not impossible to double the profit in two or three years!"

"Oh my God!" George Lucas opened his eyes wide in surprise, unable to believe it.

Uh, Lin Johnson thrust the corner of his mouth. He turned Lucas into the financial field. Will he stop working on movie special effects in the future and change to invest in finance? (To be continued.)
