Chapter 922 Change of Plan

After hurrying up with the governor's wife, Song Ya returned to San Francisco on the same road. His new home in Silicon Valley was chosen by Hayden in Atherton, a high-end residential circle near Stanford University.

It’s just a place to stay once in a while. Apart from privacy, Hayden has no other major needs. Hayden chose a lot located deep in the community, covered by woods, with a swimming pool. The size and layout of the house are similar to the old houses in Hyde Park. Second-hand villas can be settled for less than 1.5 million.

"The surrounding residents have some old money besides the newly rich in the technology industry in Silicon Valley, such as John Aliraga who sold the land for the American music website. Of course, his residence is a manor-style house, which is much more expensive than here."

Hayden turned into a real estate agent and introduced one by one. This guy who was born as a car salesman didn't look at his job ability.

In the evening, he summoned senior executives from A+ Apparel in San Francisco, A+ Pedal, A+ Liquor, A+ Audio in Sunnyvale, 3DFX in San Jose, and A+ Venture Capital to make a name for themselves.

Riise, who manages A+ Liquor, and Scout, the president of A+ Apparel, quarreled not long after they met. The two parties have been having conflicts over issues such as equity distribution and the use of funds.

The personal relationship between these two guys is completely ruined, the kind that can't be saved even if they can't be rescued, Song Ya asked Di Lai to keep an eye on it and then let it go, "I heard that the selling price of the VOODOO graphics card is too high?" He asked The main accountability target is the 3DFX trio.

"Yeah, those damn board manufacturers!"

The trio said the same thing as Dr. Mei, but with much more emotion, "They are playing price alliances, shameless little trick! And those memory manufacturers, NEC, Hitachi, Micron, Samsung, Hyundai, LG... this book , Silla people should all be damned!"

"There is no other way for the time being. In short, we will definitely be able to complete the listing task at the specified time node."

President Ballard was relatively calm. He took out several game and IT magazines, "After a series of game and IT exhibitions in the first half of the year, the market has very high expectations for our products. You can't even imagine the game industry and the graphics card industry. How crazy about our VOODOO1, APLUS, we have no competing products, other competitors can only eat our exhaust."

"Yes, yes, we overfulfilled the task." The trio collectively nodded in agreement.

"I've been paying attention." Song Ya nodded her forehead, "I know you are popular now, but the first task of running a company is to make a profit, don't forget this."

"certainly,

Of course, we know, we know, rest assured. "

The trio continued to peck rice in front of the hip-hop star.

"Um."

Song Ya just wanted to warn them. Dr. Mei also said that the three brothers are very desperate to work, and they have been working overtime for a long time in order to ship the goods before June.

At this time, Yeremov called, "Boss, the plan has changed. You may need to join the team earlier."

"Why?" This can completely disrupt your plan.

"Industrial Light and Magic said that the production cycle of some special effects will be very long, and most of them are related to the scenes in which you appear. Therefore, Catherine and I think that the sooner you participate in the shooting, the better." Yeremov replied.

"All right."

Song Ya also knows that with a series of special effects blockbusters such as True Lies and Jurassic Park attacking cities around the world, the film industry now finally dares to spend a large amount of production costs on visual effects.

According to what Mira told herself, Luc Besson claimed that 80 million of the 90 million budget of the fifth element project would be used for special effects, so that she learned that the male protagonist Bruce Willie cut his salary and observed the rough set arrangement of the crew. For a long time, I thought that the French director was bragging and exaggerating the production cost in order to pursue her.

As a superhero film with a budget of less than 30 million yuan and more biased towards live action plots, Blade Warrior probably has to give 10 million yuan to the special effects company Industrial Light and Magic. This is the excellent friendship between Catherine and George Lucas. price.

"Are you free tomorrow?" He asked the 3DFX trio after hanging up the phone.

"What's up?"

"Shall we go to the headquarters of Industrial Light and Magic?"

"Yeah."

The industrial light and magic headquarters is also in San Francisco, and a group of people went there very conveniently. George Lucas, who exported the Star Wars series and deeply influenced Americans, was busy with projects in Hollywood. The four of them briefly toured under the guidance of the staff. Fan.

"This is the project team that we are docking with Blade Warrior..."

The special effects masters here all use SGI professional graphics workstations, and they have a common language with the trio who have worked in SGI, "Look, what is playing is the most important special effects demo."

Blade Warrior is a guy who specializes in cutting vampires. According to the setting of screenwriter David Goyer and Marvel, vampires will turn into dust after being cut by his katana. Now the demonstration is how to realize the steps. A real model body Gradually shattered, the skin first turned into dust, exposing the bones inside, and then the bones also disappeared until they disappeared completely.

Technology is advancing so fast. Song Ya remembers that MJ's MV for "Remember The Time" seemed to cost millions, and the special effects are far inferior to the demo in front of him.

"The rendering time of each frame is longer than we expected, so...the sooner we get the original material, the better." said the special effects boss in charge of the presentation.

Song Ya stared at the SGI graphics workstation in a daze. He recalled how he was tricked into the semiconductor industry by the trio...

"Uh, what technology did you use to achieve it?" The trio hurriedly interrupted.

There is no way, the project of my company is starring myself again, Song Yaren refuses to let it go, so I have to modify the schedule.

Los Angeles, San Marino, after the three-week filming of the black film produced by Xue Linfen, Song Yashun sent little Robb back, "You should come, I am too busy, and the nanny will take care of me, Aunt Susie still likes him so much and visits him often."

Song Ya pushed her son in front of her.

"Isn't he liked by Susie?" Xue Linfen frowned.

"Bitch!" Little Robb yelled at her with a smile.

"Now you know the reason?" Song Ya smiled bitterly.

"It seems that I don't have a vacation, come here!" Xue Linfen grabbed her son's little hand and strode him into the inner room.

"Forgive me, I'm also very helpless." Song Ya was a little bit sad when she heard her son's crying, "I'm going to Hollywood for a crew preparation meeting, and I'll be back at night!" He shouted inside.

"Go."
