Chapter 255 Revisiting Movies
The news that a rich man and his son died of food poisoning at the same time was quickly covered by other news, and did not attract special attention from the public.

On the way to Los Angeles, An Yifei reflected on the information he got, "The oldest family among them prospered with the Age of Discovery and the Industrial Revolution, and there have been many conflicts before. It's not that I don't want to deal with them, It's that they still have upper layers that haven't been touched."

Lan Muyi followed his words, "You really have to calm down, this huge force controls a large part of the economic circle on the earth, if something goes wrong, it will be the people of all countries."

"Mu Yi, this is all good. What I am most worried about is that in addition to the economic aspects, these people also control the politics of various countries, controlling the apparent balance. When encountering difficult problems, they will frantically launch wars to divert conflicts of"

She has been a secret fragrance for a long time, and Lan Muyi is not a little girl who doesn't know anything. She nodded in agreement with him, "However, over the years, new forces have emerged one after another to get rid of their control. We are doing the same thing. Things, the world will eventually develop towards diversification.”

……

The perpetrators of the ambush suffered retaliation, and no one knew it on the surface.But the forces behind it are very clear, and they also know that it is very simple to gather all their strength to destroy An Yifei's economic development momentum, but his incomprehensible revenge methods are frightening.I was also worried about driving him into a hurry, and the situation subtly calmed down again.

The fiber optic cable company under construction is An Yifei's largest investment in the United States, which has completely blocked the mouths of some politicians.

In this project, An Yifei will invest a lot of money to grab the infrastructure before others.The Internet of the future is like the western United States that attracts many gold diggers, and what he does is to build a bridge on the gold rush road and collect tolls for rich dreamers.

Xiao Ye, who processed the information in the middle, sent the information An Yifei needed to him. On the way to the small town of Vesseny, he had already dealt with all the matters of the optical cable company.

Lan Muyi would not appear in front of other people with him, she kept her own mystery, and it was convenient to obtain information in the future, so when she was about to arrive in Los Angeles, she got out of the car and left early.

With the improvement of the intelligence system, An Yifei can receive a lot of news every day that is not in front of the public.One of them made him completely relieved. It said: IBM has developed a computer with advanced performance, but due to the "difficulty" of making it, it is currently limited to internal use.

This news allowed him to take out a more advanced computer, and the upgrade special effects company no longer needed to be secretive. It is not surprising that a powerful consortium owns several advanced computers.

The special effects company is having a headache for the production of the movie "Independence Day", because it involves a lot of special effects, and the equipment produced by the space is like a timely rain.

The employees in the company are all workaholics. According to their understanding: "Instead of wasting time chatting with the boss, wouldn't it be better to do more and get better results?".This is regarded as the most reasonable by the person in charge of Industrial Light & Magic and its employees, and has become a special corporate culture.

An Yifei didn't pay attention to these, on the contrary, he watched those special effects artists fiddling with new equipment with great interest.What left him speechless is: Now this "Independence Day" is a little different from the original version. The protagonist is no longer the black actor, but Gao Dejian, who is very popular in Europe and the United States.

It doesn't matter if the leading actor is him. When watching the film, An Yifei found out that Zhou Huimin, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, played the leading role's wife.The director Roland was very clever and took advantage of the fame of the female singer.

Knowing that the top and bottom of Guangmo Company are not deliberately ignoring themselves, the atmosphere in the company is like this.Therefore, An Yifei quietly left without paying attention, and then sent a written notice to ask them to keep the equipment confidential.In fact, this is also redundant. Has anyone actually seen the company's special effects equipment in the 21st century?No.

……

"It's hard work everyone, today I specially gather with you. Let's talk about the development of Hong Kong movies in Hollywood, and are there any difficulties that I need to solve?"

From Gao Dejian to director Wu Yusen and others are now based in the United States, because there is really no time to return to Hong Kong, and new films are almost continuously being shot.

But An Yifei also knows that the American public has very little awareness of China.In the 80s, before the Internet appeared, many people in Europe and the United States received news from newspapers and television with colored glasses.Many people's perception of the Chinese is still stuck in the impression of dragging pigtails and braids, sallow and emaciated.

With the prosperity of Gao Dejian and other film and television professionals, it is impossible for An Yifei to let them gradually waste away in the uninterrupted filming.Isn't most of the mainland's impressions of Europe and the United States come from the film and television dramas that gradually spread later?
"Sir, although our TV network has made a lot of efforts, there are still some Europeans and Americans who do not understand our culture and habits. Ah Jian and the others are indeed popular, but it does not mean that our Hong Kong film concept is accepted. This is an unstoppable problem. obstacle"

Director Wu Yusen has worked in Phoenix Film and DreamWorks for several years, and he knows what his boss wants to do. It is rare that he finally calmed down and paid attention to the film industry, so he was the first to speak and express his inner worries.

Gao Dejian and the other five big men who were selected by An Yifei at the beginning rejected the title of "Gao Jiaban" and called themselves "An Jiaban". It was Gao Dejian who was talking like a little leader.

"Brother Fei, we are very grateful. With your support, we have reached the pinnacle of life. But as we continue to make films and film again, we feel that we have lost our purpose in life. I don't know why this is going on. We are not short of money now , but it always feels like something is missing.”

An Yifei was silent, and after calling other Hong Kong practitioners outside the house, "In this way, there are very few people here in the United States. Tomorrow, according to the time difference, when Hong Kong is in the daytime, I will hold a meeting to discuss what to do in the future and how to get there." Let me explain. Prepare yourselves and say that I asked you to suspend all work.”

……

When setting up the venue, An Yifei personally attended the funeral of the two security guards who died in the line of duty, expressed condolences to their families, and gave a large amount of pensions.Such an attitude instantly raised the morale of the Blackwater side of the United States and bought the hearts of the staff.

"Xue Lin, this incident is not your fault. Don't blame yourself. I know you liked the villa earlier and couldn't bear to leave, but now your business is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more snoopers. The structure of the manor is good for security arrangements, moving Go to the manor I bought, the equipment there can withstand the attack of small legions, so I can feel at ease."

Xuelin was still a little depressed, "I should have listened to you earlier, moved to the manor, the villa is difficult to defend, this is the main reason why they died in the line of duty, alas"

Holding her in his arms, An Yifei patted her on the back, "Take care of yourself, their sacrifices are worthwhile."

After finishing speaking, she took the woman to sit down, and An Yifei talked about work to divert her attention, "After the Internet was built, the media company was truly complete. Before, newspapers, radio stations, etc. were used to promote products, It is an excellent experience, and it is helpful for the operation of new media. In the future, the hardware part will be separated out, but the software part will be incorporated into your management.”

Sure enough, she was attracted by the work problem, and Xuelin asked: "Ann, I learned about computers. If in the future, I can really communicate with others while staying at home, in the office, etc., this platform as a media will change the business model."

"That's right, Xuelin. In the future, in addition to the PC terminal, there will also be smart phones, which will combine TV, radio and other functions. In order to prepare for these, many experienced practitioners are required to participate in it, and we must do a good job in talent cultivation and reserves, which are critical”

After finishing speaking, she glanced at Xuelin, who was a little better, "The past is gone, it's not good to be entangled in the past, we have to look at the future"

The spirit was visibly shaken, and Xuelin also knew that this would not work, "Understood, Ann, you are always so good at comforting people"

……

Video and teleconferences are no longer a rare thing, and the various companies in the entire An's consortium have long been in contact with each other through this method.

The venue was on the top floor of a building in Vesseny Town, and video cameras and large screens showed the scene inside the Phoenix Building in Hong Kong.Hong Gu, Zhao Yazhi, and many practitioners were waiting there to hold this meeting.

Short-sleeved shirt, neat trousers, pure leather belt, and a watch on his wrist, the simple shape can't hide An Yifei's handsomeness.After scanning the venue with black jewel-like eyes, and waving to the people in Hong Kong, the man directly cut to the point.

"I have said a lot about Hong Kong movies, and I have been doing well. In the future, Hong Kong, together with Deep Blue Studios, will become the Hollywood of the East. To achieve this, culture is the foundation, without the nourishment of this soil , empty movies will be eliminated”

"Phoenix Films is rooted in Hong Kong and absorbs the nutrients of Chinese culture. Again, Huaxia was not something that the Manchu Qing Dynasty dared to replace for more than 200 years. The true Chinese spirit is open, inclusive, and enterprising. Therefore, the films we shot Backwardness should not be suppressed and displayed. On the contrary, the characteristics of our civilization should be displayed”

Looking around at the people under the stage and on the screen, An Yifei smiled, "You may have misunderstood what I once said. Hong Kong films should indeed show advanced thinking and modernity. However, it does not mean that only filming These, in our thousands of years of civilization, there are "Shan Hai Jing" and "Xiaoyao You" written by our ancestors. They are the composition of our culture."

"We have countless dynasties and a long history that can be filmed. What I want to express is: use the platform of film to bravely show the brilliant civilization of China, from our beautiful to dazzling costumes, to our understanding of nature and ghosts. The awe, yearning for the idea of ​​'harmony between man and nature'. Show it to those European and American people with poor history, and step on the negative comments such as pigtails and braids."
