Chapter 927 I'm Not Her!
During the visit, the confrontation was a bit fierce.
Except for Li Qian, there are only a handful of people in Minghu Culture who are qualified to enter the courtyard of Minghu Technology for visiting. Jin Han and Han Shunzhang must be the most professional, followed by Cao Zhan.
As for the 3D technology that the company has been promoting recently, the three of them are particularly interested on the one hand and full of doubts on the other hand.
Therefore, they had the most questions during their visit along the way.
As for the others, Qi Jie, Du Yihua, Zou Wenhuai and others are all laymen. Xie Mingyuan is the music director. As for these film and television matters, he is one of the few shareholders. any comments. In addition, although Yu Bojun, who is the general manager of the theater chain, has no idea in his heart, one is that he has great trust in Li Qian, and the other is that the investment of several hundred million yuan is not enough to make Young Master Yu panic, so he just Watching and listening all the way, basically not speaking.
On the contrary, Ma Aikui, who came here on behalf of Minghu Animation, asked Xia Yige repeatedly, "Is it possible to make computer-generated animation into 3D images? What is the technical difficulty in realizing this? Is it possible to Conquer from within?"
At this point, Xia Yige, who is completely unfamiliar with animation, was not very easy to answer, but Li Qian gave him an affirmative answer, "It will definitely work! It's just that we need more time!"
And he also announced on the spot that once the complete set of 3D photography, production and broadcasting technology is realized and can be perfectly used in the film and television production of Minghu Culture, then the research of 3D animation will follow. He got on the horse immediately, and he also repeatedly expressed to Ma Aikui, the deputy general manager of Minghu Animation, that he firmly believed that by then, this would be a matter of course.
Regarding this, Ma Aikui was a little skeptical, but still nodded.
He didn't ask follow-up questions, but in fact, Jin Han had already asked them for them just now.
The company invested several billions of heavy capital to focus on building 3D cinemas and IMAX-3D cinemas with higher specifications in the next few years, and also invested more than one billion in research and development funds to study 3D technology. Is there any point? ? With such a heavy investment, it is obvious that the company will produce 3D movies and promote them to the market in the future. Then, with such a high cost, will there be a market for this kind of 3D movies? How big is it? Even if there is a market, with such a large-scale investment, how much profit does it take to get back the cost of the movie?
It can be said that no one is sure whether a new technology will be popular before it really moves from the laboratory to the general audience, and in many cases, the more expert you are, the more you will be full of doubts.
In this regard, Li Qian stood in front of the group and seriously replied: "The times are developing, and technology is advancing too fast. In the era of vinyl records, music was only enjoyed by nobles and rich people, so that The era is the era of operas and concerts. There are also pop songs, but the scale and influence are not as great as later. It is tapes and CDs that have completely pushed pop music to its peak and even monopolized the entire music market. All forms of live music, in the entire music industry market, the remaining share is less than 10%.
"But now, tapes and CDs are falling behind, and the Internet is developing. People have various ways to listen to our music works online for free. There are also countless websites going abroad to build base stations and rent servers for profit. It is used as a pirated version of online music! Our company is currently cooperating with some professional electronics manufacturers to research a portable electronic device for music storage and playback. When that device comes out, I believe that the era of tapes and CDs will really come true. Gone is the past. Gone forever!"
"So, what about movies?"
"In the past two years, I believe that people who pay attention to the Internet can notice that with the development of the Internet and computer technology, various movie resources have begun to appear on the Internet. Some are played online, and some are simply Providing downloads of movies and videos, of course, are all pirated copies.”
"Moreover, I have to admit that there is a big difference between watching pirated videos on the Internet and going to a movie theater to sit down and enjoy a big-screen movie. So now, online piracy is very important to us. The box office hasn't had much of an impact yet, but what's next? In the future?"
"When Internet technology develops to a certain level, everyone can sit at home and spend no money, just connect the network cable, and then easily find those pirated resources with extremely clear picture quality on the Internet? What about the audience? Is there any reason to spend ten or twenty yuan or even more expensive prices in the future to waste time and go to the cinema to watch it? Spend two hours at home and enjoy a movie that belongs to you, isn’t it good? "
"I know you may not think so, but believe me, within three to five years, this kind of situation will definitely appear! The development of network technology, half a year is an era!"
"So, at that time, what kind of means should we filmmakers use to get the audience into the cinema to watch movies? In my opinion, the essence of movies is a comprehensive expression medium of sound and light. , Therefore, we start from the root and bring a sound and light revolution to the film!"
At that time, in a laboratory on the second floor, Li Qian pointed upstairs and said: "3D! And IMAX-3D! That's the way I think we should go!"
"Maybe everyone doesn't understand it for the time being and is full of doubts, but it doesn't matter, as long as you believe in me! Whether 3D will work, whether the audience will accept it, or like it, we will leave it to time! At the end of 2006, The 3D reconstruction and new construction of the theater will be completely completed, and will be fully put into use in 2007, and by that time, I will produce a 3D work to open a way for the 3D technology!"
…………
At Shuntianfu Airport, a young but tall girl, wearing sunglasses, stood outside the pick-up hall—it was hot, and the girl was a little restless waiting.
Four or five cigarette butts had been lost by her feet, and the person who picked her up hadn't come yet.
She took out the cigarette case, knocked out a cigarette, and struck a match again——years of wandering between England and France made her know that hiding matches in her backpack would make it easier for herself to get out of the airport when she got out of the airport. Then enjoy a puff of cigarette for the first time.
Yes, she's only sixteen, but she's been smoking for two years.
Even the above experience was first told by her father.
Of course, they were all smoked secretly.
The smoke enters the lungs, making me more anxious-it feels much, much hotter here than Spain!
She took another puff, and suddenly a hand reached out and snatched the cigarette from her hand—"Hey!" She was startled, and when she turned her head to look, she saw a familiar face.
Although wearing big sunglasses, but still very handsome.
The cigarette butt was thrown away and stamped out with his foot. Li Qian raised his head and said seriously: "On the phone just now, your father didn't mention that you are a smoker."
Elizabeth McCullough complained disapprovingly, "Oh my god, I just got here and you called him! Are we friends? I'm your friend, not your friend's daughter! Get it? We're equals of!"
Li Qian shrugged, "But...Elizabeth, you are underage!"
Elizabeth yelled, "I have already passed my sixteenth birthday! In British law, I am already an adult! And don't think I don't know, I checked the information on the Internet, so I know, you Chinese Girls, you can get married after the age of sixteen, right?"
Li Qian spread his hands and looked at her without saying a word.
Her yelling just now has already attracted a lot of attention.
For Li Qian, this is actually a very dangerous signal-you know, in the past year, although his exposure rate has dropped again and again, but over the years, his influence and popularity in China, It has already reached the point where everyone knows and everyone knows without needing to maintain exposure.
And if he is recognized on the street, without certain security measures, it may cause a certain degree of swarming, and even serious accidents such as stampedes may be caused.
But at this time, he was not in a hurry to pull Elizabeth into the car, but instead looked at her quietly.
Although the man came, and McCullough looked very irresponsible, he said that he would leave the daughter to you for a while, but he should try his best to send it away if he could. If he couldn't, some things had to be started Just make it clear - Li Qian doesn't want to cause trouble around him.
Sixteen years old is still a girl. Although the laws of different countries are different, no matter which country you are in, this is a very sensitive age group.
As a result, Li Qian looked at her without saying a word, and she did not show any weakness, but glared angrily.
But in the end, she waved her hand, said "Fuck!", and then said helplessly: "Okay, okay, as long as you give me a job in your crew and pay me on time, I can work during the working hours." Quit smoking!"
Li Qian didn't speak, but continued to look at her.
Elizabeth broke out again, "Don't go too far, I'm already an adult, I have the right to choose whether I can smoke or not! You have no right to interfere with me!"
Li Qian simply hugged his shoulders.
The two looked at each other for a moment, and Elizabeth was once again weakly defeated, "Okay, okay! I'll listen to you!"
Li Qian just smiled, bent down to pick up her travel bag, and said, "Let's go!"
After getting into the car, Elizabeth still looked unhappy. Li Qian started the car and said, "I've already had someone book the hotel for you. I'll send you there later, and I will arrange someone to accompany you." Go around, take a look, have fun in our China, and then, after the holiday is over, you can go back, OK?"
Elizabeth turned her head to look at him, and then turned away from him angrily, "Li, you are really not a good friend!"
Li Qian shrugged and drove onto the airport expressway.
When the car merged into the traffic flow and started to drive smoothly, Li Qian asked: "Can you tell me? Why can I feel a lot of anger or dissatisfaction in your heart? Did you encounter any unhappy things? Why? Thinking of coming to China to find me?"
Elizabeth immediately said: "Hey, Qian, we agreed! We agreed that I will come over to apply for your assistant director, or... photography assistant, or something during the summer vacation. This is not a sudden thing! "
Li Qian shrugged and didn't speak.
After a pause, he nodded, "Well, although I thought you wouldn't come, this is my problem and I was wrong. I agree with your statement. This is an agreement."
Since this meeting, this is the first time that Li Qian has made a little concession. Even though it was only a verbal concession, Elizabeth seemed very happy.
She sat down, thought for a while, and still couldn't hold back, said: "Yes, this is an agreement, not a sudden thing, but when I said it, my mother strongly opposed it! She opposed my going to China Come on, especially against me coming to you, joining your film crew, and being your assistant! Oh...God, Qian, don't get me wrong, my mother doesn't have any dissatisfaction or opinions with you, she just...she just... "
Li Qian nodded, "Understood! Your mother is a very good person, and we had a great conversation."
Elizabeth shrugged and waved her hands, "She chased her from France to England at the age of fifteen or sixteen for love and for my father, so she thought I would be as crazy as her! How is it possible! The age is different! I am not She! I am myself!"
Li Qian shrugged, "Understood!"
After a pause, Elizabeth said seriously again: "And I didn't fall in love with you either! You are not my father! You are far behind him!"
Li Qian curled his lips, "Oh...Elizabeth, you are too straightforward!"
Elizabeth shrugged playfully.
"So, I said I was going to Spain for vacation and flew from Spain to China!"
Li Qian nodded slowly.
Then, the car began to quiet down.
Li Qian drove quietly, and Elizabeth quietly watched the passing street scene in a daze.
Suddenly at a certain moment, she suddenly said: "Qian, I really know how to take pictures, trust me, I am a professional! I can be your photographer or director assistant, really, trust me!"
Li Qian nodded again, "I know, you come from a family! Your father is one of the best film artists in the world, and your mother is one of the best actors in the world."
Elizabeth was very dissatisfied, but didn't know what to say.
Until Li Qian drove her to the reserved hotel, the people watching the company were already waiting, so he handed over her luggage, told Elizabeth to take a good rest, and then turned around to leave.
But Elizabeth stopped him, and opened her travel bag in the lobby of the hotel, took out a small wooden box, handed it to Li Qian, and said, "I made it by myself, selected the materials by myself, cut, carved and polished it myself, and handed it to Li Qian." Paint... for you!"
Li Qian opened it and saw that it was a beautifully crafted and well-shaped briar wood pipe.
He couldn't help but took a deep breath and said, "Thank you, Elizabeth!"
