Chapter 1707: 3D
Near three o'clock, Ms. A pushed open the door of her boss's office and saw Miss Li curled in the man's arms and had a bright red face.
When the eldest princess saw Alison enter the door, she obviously turned to the man with a little intentional and hostility and said softly: "I don't want to wear shoes anymore."
Simon happened to pick up the girl in her arms with a pair of small feet, and then put down after hearing this: "Okay."
"I don't want to go to a meeting either."
"Ha, then I won't go, sleep here for a while."
His Highness the eldest princess stretched out her hand around Simon's neck and became more and more frustrated: "I want you to accompany me."
"This is not possible," Simon refused this time: "I still have to work hard to make money to support you."
"I don't want you to raise it," said Li Fuzhen. She felt her body being picked up by the man, turned around and landed on the leather chair that still had his body temperature. She subconsciously grabbed the man's cuff and showed a pitiful expression. She found that it was invalid and curled her lips: "You are obviously... damn."
Simon tidied up his clothes a little, lowered his head and grabbed the pretty face of the woman on the leather chair and kissed her: "Good."
When Simon left, Girl A pulled up to the door, and Miss Li, who was curled up on a wide leather chair, raised one foot helplessly and kicked it gently on the edge of the table twice, as if kicking someone.
After a while, I still cheered up and tried to get up.
I walked to the bathroom barefoot, washed my face with cold water, waited for the blush to subside, found my bag, took out the tools to make up, and then found the small high heels and went out.
When we arrived at the outside room, a blonde girl sat behind the assistant's desk, and Miss A was not there. There were two uniformed girls with obvious Korean faces in the lounge. Seeing Lee Fu-jin, the two girls immediately stood up and greeted her.
His Highness, whose cold look returned to his face, glanced at his two assistants and turned to the blonde: "When will Simon come back?"
I just forgot to ask.
The blonde probably knew Lee Fuzhen's identity, and the boss's work schedule today is not a secret. He lowered his head and looked up on the memo and said, "In an hour."
Miss Li also looked over, and the memorandum marked the man going to attend a discussion meeting on a 3D digital projection equipment. She had no intention of chasing her and planned to stay in North America for a few days and made an appointment to meet again on the East Coast on the weekend.
Thanking the blonde, Miss Li was about to leave to attend a somewhat late advertising cooperation meeting. She glanced at her two assistants, remembered something, signaled to them, and said in Korean: "You stay here, Simon will use it later."
She was already full just now, but the man was still hungry. In addition to having experienced it in the past, Li Fuzhen felt that it was just right to let these two vases stay.
I had the idea of pleasing him in my heart.
Moreover, this can prevent him from calling out other messy women temporarily, right?
The two assistants were stunned when they heard this, and then bowed their heads respectfully together.
Finally, she explained to the blonde girl next to her, Miss Li left alone. The blonde assistant couldn't understand Korean. She didn't know that Lee Fu really told her to do so just now, but she didn't refuse the other two colleagues to stay. Anyway, she was just outside, so she wouldn't let the other party rashly enter her boss's office.
On the other hand, Simon came to a small screening room on the lower floor of the same building, and there were already people waiting. In addition to several executives in his own theater business, there were also several Asian faces, from Sony, Japan.
The meeting was chosen here, and we mainly looked at the display effect of the 3D digital projection equipment developed by the two parties and commissioned by Sony.
Speaking of which, Simon began to pay attention to film screening technologies such as 3D and IMAX very early. At present, IMAX screening hall has become a sign of Daenerys Entertainment's global theater business, but in terms of 3D, the progress in recent years has been very slow.
There are many reasons.
First of all, traditional film projection equipment cannot display 3D image effects too well.
Secondly, even if you don’t worry about the picture, the cost of 3D copying of the film carrier is also a big problem.
For example, a blockbuster film only talks about the North American market. The scale of the screen is 3,000 yuan, and at a copy price of about 1,000 US dollars, this part of the expense is 3 million US dollars. If the 3D model is used, it will be doubled directly to 6 million US dollars.
This is not a neglectable expense.
In addition, IMAX, which Simon has always valued very much, is even more troublesome if it uses 3D screening. The huge copy of IMAX film itself requires a pickup truck to be installed. If it is used in 3D mode, whether it is the production, transportation or screening, it is very complicated and prone to problems.
In comparison, if all of these can be converted into a 3.5-inch digital hard drive, not only is the cost almost negligible, but other various processes will also be too stable.
As for the difference in the quality of numbers on film, to be honest, it is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish when they develop to the present level. Forced criticism and distinction are more of a subconscious mentality problem.
This is now in 2000, and the subsequent digital screenings will only be better.
Therefore, even if it is not for promoting 3D, the film to digital is the general trend in the entire theater industry. What Simon did is to actively promote this trend so that he can gain more dividends.
Let’s talk about the research and development of technology.
Speaking of digital photography and digital screening, in North America, companies such as Kodak are not much worse than those of the Japanese. The world's first digital camera was developed by Kodak. The problem is that, for example, Kodak, until it went bankrupt, always stuck to its own film interests and completely missed the change to the digital age.
Simon also had no choice but to cooperate with Japanese manufacturers.
Anyway, this is the last chapter.
Both the content and channels are in the hands of Daenerys Entertainment. Although the Japanese have technology, just like many Japanese cutting-edge technology fields later, they can only deliver accessories to people and act as supporting roles, so they naturally won’t get much profit, let alone take the initiative.
After an hour-long meeting, I first watched a 3D digital sample converted from "Jurassic Park", and continued to understand various technical details, subsequent research directions, and even the planning of Daenerys' theater cooperation. Simon finally asked about the progress of the supporting 3D digital camera development.
Time passes by in a blink of an eye.
The specific details of the cooperation were handed over to the head of the theater business to continue consultation with the Sony team. Simon left the small screening room and returned to the office upstairs. On the way to the office, A girl sent a folder to her boss.
Because of Miss Li, Simon remembered the question of selecting the role of Lai Ti in "Fast and Furious". He asked Alison to contact Linda Waggs, the head of his royal casting, to send a copy of information.
Not in a hurry to turn it over, Simon walked into the elevator and asked the girl A beside him: "Does Jerry and the others have any intention?"
Jerry is Jerry Brookheimer, who was also the producer of "Fast and Furious" that Simon personally finalized, and can also be regarded as escorting Lin Yibin, who is unfamiliar with blockbuster production.
Girl A nodded: "There are 26 candidates in this folder, but there are three of them who prefer, Angelina Jolie, Milla Jovovich and Charlize Theron."
The role of Laiti Ortiz, first of all, is an action-type actress, and all three candidates are matched; again, beautiful and wild, or match; finally, the acting skills must be excellent enough, and all three girls have rich acting experience, and they are also matched.
Simon thought about it a little in his heart and realized that any of the three girls was enough to take responsibility.
So, since it has not been finalized, on the one hand, Simon has to make the decision by himself, and there are obviously other problems.
Thinking of this, Simon said: "Charlize has already made arrangements."
This is his own new version of Black Widow. He has given Charlize Theron the key characters in the two blockbusters, "Chicago" and "The Lord of the Rings". Although the Fast Furious Series does not conflict with the Marvel Cinematic Universe, if the "South African Diamond" is too high, the Marvel Series will be a bit difficult to deal with.
Simon didn't want to make the mistake of Disney, because he failed to bind in advance, which led to Scarlett Johnson, who had few roles in the Marvel series, always getting a high salary of $20 million, second only to Robert Downey Jr.
When Girl A heard her boss's instructions, she didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and agreed, and then said: "In addition, Angelina and Mira, in terms of appearance, the latter is more in line with the boss's aesthetics, but Jerry and Lin prefer the former."
Simon compared himself again and nodded, "If it were me, I would choose the former."
Simon attaches great importance to personal aesthetics. He doesn't want his entertainment industry to be full of exaggerated sausage mouths and silicone buttocks.
However, things are certainly not absolute.
Even though it does not fit personal aesthetics, Simon recognizes Julie's appearance and acting skills. Think about it again, this actress's wild temperament is more suitable for a racing girl like Lai Tie than Mira Jovovich.
Girl A understood what her boss meant and continued: "The problem is that Julie is unwilling to sign a long-term contract, while Mira is willing. In addition, Julie's personality is also very unstable and she has a drug addiction, which is what Jerry and the others are most worried about."
On the timeline, Simon knew Angelina Jolie's messy private life very well. Unexpectedly, even if his big butterfly appeared, it would not change this.
Thinking of this, the elevator door opened, Simon stepped into the corridor and said, "Let me take a look at the list in my hand first."
It is not clear how much Julie is addicted this time, so Simon decided to be more cautious in terms of the project.
When they came to their office and were about to enter the door through the outside room, Simon found two Korean girls. When the two girls saw Simon appear, they took the initiative to come over and bowed humbly to greet them.
The blonde assistant here briefly explained, and Simon understood it roughly, but did not refuse. He smiled and signaled that the two beautiful vases would follow him into the door.
