Chapter 308 A bottle of wine that shouldn't be
Chapter 308
"I absolutely can't guess? Are you sure?" Chen Tian raised his eyebrows.
Ivanka was not shy about it and confidently: "Of course, I'm pretty sure if you guessed it, you could make a request?"
"A request, anything is OK?"
Chen Tian's eyes rose with a strong oppression. Ivanka dodged for a moment, and then stubbornly met: "As long as you dare, I'm not afraid!"
"Okay, you won." Chen Tian shrugged helplessly. Ivanka couldn't help but smile, but a little loss flashed in his heart.
Chen Tian did not notice Ivanka's changes: "Is it Kenna Optics or newdealstudio?"
Kenner Optics is a miniature model company, but a year ago they were affiliated with Lucas' Industrial Light and Magic.
Industrial Light and Magic also provides visual effects for the first Star Wars film.
In nearly thirty years, Industrial Light and Magic has long become synonymous with film magic.
Vita Digital is the special effects consensus of "Lord of the Rings", but in fact, Vita Digital is not able to compete with Industrial Light and Magic at present.
However, the special effects shots in Chen Tian's "Raider" are Vita Digital. In the film, Chen Tian did not use the extremely extensive CG computer special effects technology that is now used, but chose relatively traditional miniature model technology.
Compared with computer CG technology, miniature models appear to be declining and are no longer the mainstream of the movie world.
But the effect shot by computer special effects BG animation is more realistic. This is the fundamental reason why computer CG cannot replace all miniature models at present.
Whether it is the current Lord of the Rings or the later generations of King Kong, or even the super blockbuster "Avatar", which swept the world, their success is credited with miniature models.
Especially now the seemingly incredible 3D immediate model technology pursued by the Kenner team is perfectly used in these Avatars.
However, the current situation is very difficult for miniature models. Since entering the 21st century, more and more special effects of film and television works have shifted from miniature models to the computer CG market.
After all, the cg special effects are more convenient and relatively cost-effective.
This directly led to the dilemma of miniature models. Kenner's team was previously an important part of Industrial Light and Magic, a Hollywood special effects company. They were responsible for miniature models.
However, the Kenner team, who left Industrial Light and Magic, did not develop smoothly. In order to find new directions, the entire team wanted to find how to use old model technology to develop new 3D three-dimensional technology.
Others don’t know, but Chen Tianyi, who is familiar with Hollywood film technology, knows it clearly.
The Kenna team's relatively advanced technical ideas at the moment have caused the Kenna team to invest a lot of funds and manpower, but they cannot see the profits, which has led to the fact that they are now underpaid and have a lot of debt.
And 3D videos in the future will be the mainstream of the market, although they are not the case now.
But except for Chen Tian, even Kenna's team is just an estimate at this moment, and they don't know how long they will wait to get through the predicament.
It is in this case that they choose to find investments to alleviate the company's debt pressure and to better research.
They collaborated with Chen Tian in "Raid". In "Raid", the scene in Jiulongzhai was restored very realistically.
It gave the audience a clear understanding of what the scene is like in Kowloon Village, the miracle land of Hong Kong that is circulating in the Western world.
Kenna Optics did it perfectly, allowing the audience to feel the original Jiulong Village.
It is precisely this perfection of cooperation that gave Chen Tian an idea to acquire Kenna, who was struggling to survive in the predicament, in the name of the company or his own personal name.
Chen Tian believes that no matter how technology develops, the miniature model will not be completely thrown away in a short period of time, let alone the successful cases of super blockbusters like "Avatar".
When Chen Tian shot videos, he always liked to present the most realistic scenes to the audience, and miniature modeling technology has become some of the best choices.
newdealstudio is also a small miniature company like this, but they have a slightly better living environment than Kenner.
After Chen Tian had a goal, he asked the Ellison brother and sister and Ivanka for this matter.
So at this moment, Chen Tian naturally thought of this matter. If this matter really succeeded, he would definitely be extremely grateful to Ivanka.
After all, after success, Miramax Video and DreamWorks animation department, the three companies can form a whole and complete a video with the greatest effect without relying on other companies.
There is no need to be limited by others. This is an important reason why Chen Tian wanted to take advantage of the situation to acquire Kenna Optics. Another reason is that if Kenna Optics is acquired, the price is far less than that of DreamWorks Animation.
In Chen Tian's opinion, it is possible to complete the acquisition of Kenna Optics for 50 million yuan, and the debts to assume Kenna Optics will not exceed 100 million US dollars.
If it were a year ago, Chen Tian, who had just started, would never think about such things, nor would he even dare to have such thoughts so early.
But now there is a huge gap between Chen Tian and a year ago, and both his abilities and strength have been improved absolutely.
Chen Tian also has a different perspective, from a director who only needs to consider big and small things in a film to becoming the head of a company.
Even if there are many things, others can do it for you. Chen Tian also knows the importance of delegating power, but the premise is that he himself must understand it.
Delegate power based on knowledge, and then consider the overall situation yourself, not just the production, shooting and then distribution of one and two films.
Even if he does not acquire Kenner Optics and DreamWorks, Chen Tian is confident that Miramax will gain a foothold in the extremely fierce competition in Hollywood.
But what Chen Tian wants is not just to gain a foothold and become famous. He hopes to build Miramax into another giant in Hollywood, and even takes ten or twenty years to send Miramax to the No. 1 position in Hollywood.
Then DreamWorks, Kenna Optics becomes very important, but Ivanka doesn’t know that Chen Tian is thinking so much and so far.
"Are you waiting for my answer? I tell you no!
Unfortunately, you are still much short of asking me." Ivanka smiled softly, and the curvature of the curvace of the curvaceous mouth was very attractive.
"No? Then I can't imagine that you just don't tell me that you miss me, so just come here." Chen Tian joked.
"I really come, do you dare?" Ivanka greeted Chen Tian with a provocative look.
"Ivanka, you should know how much you are attracted to men."
"Hmph!" Ivanka snorted coldly, "I came for one thing, the invitation of President Forbes' dinner."
“Forbes Dinner Invitation?”
Chen Tian never thought that Ivanka came because Forbes invited him, and he never thought about such a thing.
“Don’t you know how popular you are, not just movies, but investors and entrepreneurs are sought after.
If you are willing to accept investment, you will definitely know what is going on.
Forbes will launch this year's wealth list on October 10, and then a dinner will be held on the evening of October 10, and they offer you an invitation.
I was going to call you and send an invitation letter, but I knew that you and I were neighbors, and then it turned out to be my errands. They would send you the invitation letter in the near future.
Do you have time? That's a high-end dinner, and there will be a lot of people attending,,,.”
Chen Tian is not a fool. Although he is a filmmaker, his identities are different now. After contacting these people, he may seek help. Connections are a wealth that cannot be measured by money.
"I can't think of any reason not to go." Chen Tian shrugged, "Do you want to have a glass of water?"
"I also know you won't be so stupid. Give me a glass of red wine and go back to sleep after drinking it. I am not a literary worker like you!" Ivanka leaned against the sofa and stretched beautifully.
The beautiful scenery with concave and convexity was fully displayed, but unfortunately Chen Tian had turned around and walked away but couldn't see it.
"Manni also likes to drink red wine, and there should be something good. I don't know anything about these at all. Do you want to choose one by yourself?"
Chen Tian opened the wine cabinet. His understanding of red wine was limited to brands, and he had never heard of many brands at all, but at this moment it did not look worse than what he had heard of.
"Justin, you are the director. How could you not know that this will disappoint your movie fans." Ivanka stood up with a smile and walked towards Chen Tian.
There were rows of wine in the wine cabinet in front of Chen Tian, and a bottle of brand red wine that Chen Tian had never heard of was placed on the iron wine rack below the wine cabinet.
Chen Tian knew that this bottle of wine was prepared by Scarlett, but before he could drink it, Scarlett left early.
