Head-to-head Hollywood Chapter 957's foray into the fashion industry Avatar's project is still in its infancy, but that doesn't hide Cameron's enormous enthusiasm for the project. He shot a short 30-second 3D experiment to show the effect. Dunn was invited four times in a row and let him observe the scene. Dunn was helpless. After parting with Nicole Kidman the next day, he went to the 3D experiment hall of Universal Studios. Cameron has been waiting for a long time, and said with a smile: "Dawn, you should come! You will be a witness to the birth of 3D movies!" Dunn said angrily: "I still have a lot of things over there! Hurry up, look See what you shoot." The 3D experimental hall is not a normal screening hall, but a huge monitor screen that can imitate a variety of 3D screens, and 3D glasses are also divided into several types. 3D movies are in their infancy, and everything is groping. After being seated, Cameron introduced to Dunn with great interest: "Only after the actual shooting will you know that 3D is not only the advancement of visual technology, but also can be used as a new film language, just like pushing and pulling. Moving the same way, adding more diverse expressions to the narrative of the film." Dunn shook his head and said disapprovingly: "A scene that is too realistic will numb the audience's mind. 3D is a tool for commercial films after all." Mellon pouted, and at this moment, the screen lit up. This is a short film that has no real meaning. Through a series of long shots, a male protagonist follows the process of entering the house, changing shoes, undressing, going to the kitchen to drink water, and walking into the bathroom. Mainly to test the 3D effect. The previous 3D images were static 3D because the camera was too bulky to move. Dynamic 3D is made through post-processing. This short film is actually a dynamic 3D picture shot by a movable 3D camera. On the screen, the male protagonist is holding the key to open the door, and a male face appears. The effect is very flat and lacks three-dimensionality. When he opened the door and the room inside appeared, the depth of the picture suddenly increased, and he felt the male protagonist, the door, and the wall all stand out at once, showing a 3D effect. Then, the camera followed the actor into the room and captured the movements of his slippers and clothes from the side. In the surrounding environment, the 3D effects of shoe cabinets, walls, and chandeliers are all good, but the actions that the actor is doing lacks sufficient 3D effects. The same goes for subsequent shots. The visual effect of the large background is good, but the local effects, especially the 3D rendering of dynamic effects, are not outstanding. After watching the short film, Dunn frowned and said: "The macro depth is there, but the micro effect is lacking. James, your 3D camera needs to be upgraded. You can't always rely on the background depth and the Kurishov effect to highlight the 3D effect. This looks very clumsy." Cameron laughed: "This is just the original version, I'll show you the restored version!" Then, Cameron gestured to the staff behind him again, and the short film was played again. Sure enough, the short side played this time has a very strong 3D effect, and even the outline of the male protagonist's facial features shows an excellent 3D effect. Tang En has experienced the era when 3D movies were popular in later generations, and he has seen many beautiful 3D pictures. The short films at the moment can only be said to be average. However, for this era, such a picture appears, and it is indeed gratifying. Cameron shot this set of dynamic 3D short films, the 3D effect is even better than those shot with still 3D cameras! Tang En nodded, "You can't put the cart before the horse. Since it's a straight shot, you need to maximize the shooting effect. Post-repair is equivalent to post-production conversion. It's easy to get started, but the upper limit is low." Cameron said with a smile: "Don't worry. , this is the first short film. Before the film officially starts, I plan to shoot 10 experimental short films, and I will never start the film until the best results are achieved!" "Okay." "By the way, there is one more thing, I have to find you. Help." Dunn looked at him with a funny look, "This is the main purpose of your looking for me today, right?" Cameron didn't hide it, he smiled, "I just came back from Tokyo." "Tokyo "I went to see a Japanese cartoonist, Yukito Kijo, and bought a set of comic rights from him. I plan to make it into a movie." Tang En said angrily, "Avatar, can you be busy?" Mellon said: "I only serve as a producer, the workload will be very small, and..." "What comics?" Dunn suddenly thought of something. "Bombardment Dream." Cameron replied quickly, "It's a science fiction comic, the story takes place in the 26th century, it tells the story of a mechanical girl with super combat power breaking the old order and uncovering her life experience. Mysterious adventure." This should be the movie "Alita: Battle Angel", but Dunn was not optimistic and refused: "Not good. Science fiction theme, at first glance, it is a commercial production with an investment of over 100 million yuan. The risk factor is too high for a girl to be the protagonist. This year, Dunn Pictures' "Mechanical Enemy," starring Will Smith and Nicole Kidman, only made more than $400 million at the box office." Cameron seems to have to fight, Dunn directly blocked his words, "I'm not interested in going to Japan to make movies, New Universal has its own comic company. You should know that Japanese-themed movies have already lost their market in Hollywood, so you should concentrate on studying "Avatar" "Let's go." It is enough to use a "Mulan" to reflect his feminist tendencies. There's no need to make another Alita: Battle Angel. ... Dolby Laboratories will complete the acquisition of 4 small companies to complete the development of video disc players, and complete the integration of technology, production lines and supply chains, which will cost a total of about 18 million US dollars. Dunn doesn't pay too much attention to this trivial matter. In addition to the film business, he only cares about the company's big strategy and big projects! For example, the acquisition of Prada. On November 16, 2004, New Universal issued an announcement: wholly-owned acquisition of the Italian fashion brand Prada! At the same time, Prada also officially announced that the chairman, Ms. Miuccia Prada, resigned and only served as the artistic director; Pagio Bethel also officially stepped down as CEO. The new management will be arranged separately after the merger is completed. Because both parties are not listed companies, and did not give a specific acquisition offer. However, the commercial media still gave many authoritative conclusions. The total capital involved in this merger and acquisition transaction will be as high as 3.8 billion euros! The price is higher than the market expected 3.5 billion euros. Among the 3.8 billion euros, New Universal will take on Prada's debt of 1.5 billion euros, pay $240 million in cash, and provide 19.8 million shares. After the merger is completed, the Prada family will have a board seat in the new Universal. The Prada family has also become the fourth largest shareholder of the New Universal Group after Dunn, Jobs, and Dolby and his son! Since then, New Universal has officially taken a step forward and entered the fashion industry with a high profile! Moreover, as soon as the shot is made, it is a thunderous punch! "Bloomberg Businessweek" reported: "New Universal's acquisition of Prada will have many benefits. It can use its advantages in information dissemination channels to strengthen Prada's recognition in the hearts of users and greatly enhance the brand value. Prada, a century-old store. Investing in the embrace of the emerging power of New Universal will maximize the glow!" The New York Times believes: "New Universal won Prada, which is a successful foothold in the fashion industry. Prada has a very strong presence in the industry. The foundation and appeal are the ace brand in Italy. This acquisition indicates that New Universal will have more room for market expansion.” The Los Angeles Times reported: “New Universal has saved Prada’s debt crisis, there is no doubt that, This merger is a very promising merger. It is rumored that Universal Pictures has long been promoting a movie called "The Devil Wears Prada", which is based on Lauren Weisberg's eponymous adaptation. Now, they There is a better reason." Compared with the peacefulness and praise in the United States, the Italian media is a little crying. Milan, Italy, is the capital of fashion. Prada is the brightest pearl in the fashion capital! Fortunately, it was bought by an American company. "Italy lost a national treasure, and the government's policy mistakes made Prada fall into a debt crisis and become a game of capital." "Prada's transfer to New Global will completely lose its luxurious artistic temperament." "New Global uses barbaric capital. Opened the door of Italian fashion." "Prada's death." ... Dunn doesn't care how Italians view this merger. Europe is the capital of luxury goods, but Europeans are not very enthusiastic about luxury goods. North America and Asia are the largest consumer markets for luxury goods. Dunn has only one idea now, and that is to quickly get the movie "The Devil Wears Prada" out! Using the movie, the popularity of Prada has been quickly increased, and the entire industrial chain of the upper, middle and lower reaches is opened up. Although Anne Hathaway moved out of Villa 2, she couldn't refuse Dunn's call. She is only 22 years old this year, and her career is still on the rise. It is impossible to accumulate enough information like Nicole Kidman, and it is no longer necessary to please Dunn through her own hue. For a beauty like Anne Hathaway who is in her prime, her body is still the biggest capital. "Dawn, I'm not happy!" Anne Hathaway sat on the sofa pouting, and didn't tease Dunn with her head and gestures as usual. "What's wrong?" Tang En was not in a hurry, and poured two glasses of red wine with a smile. Anne Hathaway stomped her foot, "Last year I made a movie called "Pretty Woman", that was my first **** scene, I just wanted to break the impression of being silly and sweet, and I was performing There has been a breakthrough in Shangneng. As a result, I received news a few days ago that this film will be released directly on DVD and will not be released." Dunn smiled: "Have you been cheated?" Anne Hathaway's emotions He said in a low voice, "No, the director of the film is Barbara Capo, and the screenwriter is Stephen Gahan. It's not the film company, the strength is too poor." Dunn said helplessly: "I didn't tell you. , don't pick up the movie indiscriminately, especially foreign film companies, it's very unreliable. And don't obediently undress on the big screen because of the flickering of individual film artists." Anne Hathaway sighed, "Dawn, What do you say? After the release of "The Princess Diaries 2", everyone said that my acting skills have not progressed. It is no different from when I was filming "The Princess Diaries". The box office of "Pirates 2: Gathering Souls" is very good. , but the word of mouth in the industry... Hey, everyone is not satisfied with my performance, it is said that my English accent is fake and ugly." Tang En walked over and sat down beside her, handed over the red wine, and comforted : "Don't worry, didn't I arrange everything for you?" "Arranged? "Brokeback Mountain"?" "Yes, "Brokeback Mountain"! This movie will make you gain the recognition of a group of film critics ." "Oh, I hope so." Anne Hathaway shook her head, took a sip of wine, and began to undress, ready to go to work. She was called over today, isn't that what happened? Dunn smiled and said, "Don't worry, finish the business first." "Any other business?" Anne Hathaway blinked her beautiful big eyes. Tang En said: "The Queen Wears Prada has officially been approved. You are the female lead. She has agreed to play with Meryl Streep." Anne Hathaway was immediately excited, "Yes It's great! Who is the director?" Dunn said: "The director is a newcomer, his name is David Frankel, who has made a lot of TV dramas before. When filming "Band of Brothers", he was very popular with Tom Hanks Approved and recommended it to us. Later, he filmed Starz TV's TV series "Star Companion", which was quite successful." Anne Hathaway said in surprise: "Ah! "Star Companion"! It just ended last weekend. Is the first season broadcast? I am a loyal audience I have followed every episode, it is very interesting. I also know that you are the screenwriter of that TV series." Screenwriter? Well, Tang En once "scripted" dozens of popular American dramas and reality shows in his previous life, all of which were registered by the Writers Association and the Producers Association. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is the screenwriter of "Star Companion". "You have to be careful with this movie. Your character is an assistant, and you'd better find an opportunity to intern for a while. Otherwise, you can't compete with Meryl Streep." "Well , I know." Anne Hathaway nodded, in a good mood, with her signature bright smile on her face, "Otherwise, if I can be your secretary for half a month, it will be considered an intern." Me?" Tang En raised his eyebrows. "Can't you? My academic performance in school is very good, not worse than your Natalie. Moreover, I have been admitted to New York University, and I will go to study next year, majoring in personalized research." Anne Hathaway She raised her white chin, slightly mean-spirited. Dunn is still pondering. Anne Hathaway leaned over and said quietly, "When I'm busy, I'll help you work, and when I'm not busy, I'll help you... Relax, okay?" "Relax? How to relax?" Looking at her with a smile. Anne Hathaway pursed her lips, got up and sat on his lap, then slowly slid down until she knelt in front of him, her voice very enchanting and charming: "Is that okay?" Tang En laughed He smiled, "Go and be Tosca's assistant for a period of time. You can't handle the work on my side. When you need you, you will naturally be called." Anne Hathaway laughed, " That's ok! Then... let's start now?" "Let's start." Tang En held a glass of red wine, and at a certain moment, his eyes narrowed, and then he drank a glass of wine, looking like he was enjoying himself. . It tastes right. Good wine! /35_.
