I Am A Trilionaire - Chapter 38
After listening to the conversation from his employees, Henry felt a little annoyed by the information and he also didn’t know whether he had feelings for Helen or not, after all in the eyes of other people his age was not suitable for falling in love earlier.
And building a business is more important now to prepare for a better future, love problems will come naturally when he is an adult.
And for Helen, Henry will keep her from being with the son of the chairman of the IGN company with the excuse: “It will interfere with Helen’s work.” Henry is selfish but his feelings now are very complicated.
Back at the house, Henry finishes his shower, then turns on the computer and opens the email.
Apart from providing information by telephone, the company on behalf of Henry will also send some information in the form of e-mails. Henry caught a glimpse of the content in general, but when he saw that Pixar Animation Studios had officially completed and launched the RenderMan computer image rendering program, Henry was delighted.
Perhaps, by obtaining a group of people in the Light and Magic Industrial, he could form his own special effects company!
With ReaderMan, he worried that this was far from being able to set up his own film special effects company, but at least there was a solid foundation. Everything gets really tough at the start but with ReaderMan, it’s at least halfway through success.
The next day, Henry went to Pixar’s animation studio, chatted with them all morning, and decided to start a special effects company!
Film special effects technology will increasingly be used in future films, and even film special effects directly determine the success or failure of a film! ! !
Therefore, film special effects technology is very important!
When it comes to film special effects, the first thing that comes to mind is definitely Industrial Light & Magic.
Pixar Animation Studio was originally part of Industrial Light and Magic. Therefore, knowing the basics of Industrial Light and Magic and getting deeper into the core!
Within a week, Henry acquired over a dozen people from the Light and Magic Industry, all of whom were experts in special effects!
Apart from people obtained from the Light and Magic Industry, Henry still recruited workers from the University. New graduates can fill the company with more vitality and innovation! Then, Henry also expressed his wish he asked to hire a special effects technology master named Stan Winston. The digital special effects company created by Stan Winston is second only to Industrial Light & Magic in the industry! Even though the digital special effects company went bankrupt in 2012, then the company by then changed hands to someone else, and Stan Winston, a core figure in the digital space, died of illness in early 2008!
When Henry sent someone to contact Stan Winston, he learned that Stan Winston had built his own studio which was also involved in film special effects. Henry made the fateful decision and said he would buy Stan Winston’s studio outright for a great price. Stan Winston finally agreed and agreed to join Henry’s newly founded film special effects company. However, she also made her request that she should also invite her friend James Cameron to join her.
James Cameron!
Hurry up, call him to join together! ! !
Henry immediately agreed to Stan Winston’s request. Soon after, James Cameron and Stan Winston came to Pixar’s animation studio to meet Henry.
Stan Winston is a tech geek, hidden behind the scenes, few people know about him, previously Henry only knew his name. Stan Winston wore casual clothes and glasses.
James Cameron is famous and is the best film director in Hollywood!
He directed the series “Terminator”, “Titanic”, “Avatar”, every film that deserves to have an important influence in film history! ! !
Henry was delighted to have James Cameron and Stan Winston welcome, and he warmly welcomed them!
After everyone introduced each other, Henry told James Cameron that he liked the film: “Mr. Cameron,” Terminator 1 “is a good film. The first time I saw it, I liked it., Moreover, the T-800 played by Arnold Schwarzenegger was really cool. !!! ”
James Cameron, who was praised by Henry for his good film, was very happy, smiled, and said to Henry: “Thank you!” Terminator 1 “it is an honor for me to get your recognition!”
“Mr Cameron, when will you be shooting” Terminator 2 “I think the majority of movie fans can’t wait for him!”
“I have this plan, but there are still a lot of things that haven’t been prepared …” James Cameron said this, his tone suddenly had a hint of helplessness. In James Cameron’s budget, “Terminator 2” needed to invest hundreds of millions of dollars. This amount of money was too risky for the film company. Few people dare to invest in James Cameron. Therefore, “Terminator 2” has been postponed until now, and no more projects have yet been created.
“Is it a financial problem?”
“Oh, yes, you guessed it, yes, it’s a financial matter. The budget for this film is estimated at $ 100 million, and no company wants to invest in me …” James Cameron shrugged helplessly.
“It’s okay, I’ll invest in your film!” Henry said immediately without thinking.
Don’t look at the James Cameron project that costs a fortune, but Henry knows James Cameron will make more money! ! !
“Terminator 2” will eventually hit more than 500 million box offices in history. With the addition of video tapes, peripheral income is just an advantage! ! ! Henry estimated that if he invested 100 million, he would not only recover his investment funds, he might even be able to make two to three billion dollars!
When James Cameron heard Henry was willing to invest in him, he immediately got excited, pulled Henry to talk about how he was going to invest and how the film was going, and promised it would be a big box office hit.
“Mr. Henry, rest assured, as long as you are willing to invest, I guarantee your money will never be lost in vain !!!” said James Cameron firmly.
“Hehe, I’m more confident than you right now!” Henry laughed.
When James Cameron heard this, his face was a little surprised. He had not seen such an investor since filming in many years. He has invested hundreds of millions of dollars yet he is very calm!
Henry and James Cameron are negotiating an investment in “Terminator 2”!
However, Henry originally only planned to set up a special effects company for the film, but there was an advantage that he agreed to invest in “Terminator 2”, so Henry decided to set up another film company of his own and invest in “Terminator 2” on behalf of the company.
Why? one is tax evasion, and the other is through the movie “Terminator 2”, the newly founded film company is sure to catch everyone’s attention, and thus gain fame and foothold in Hollywood! ! !
Henry was already thinking about a name for a new film company, which would be called “Galaxy Film Company”. Therefore, Henry’s newly founded special effects company was called “Galaxy Movie Special Effects”, which was a subsidiary of the Galaxy Film Company!
Henry said the plan, James Cameron and Stan Winston agreed. They join a special effects company, whereas for the parent company of a special effects company this is not very important.
After some discussion, Henry invested 5 million to acquire Stan Winston Studio, and founded a new film special effects company, having resolved the problems of Pixar ReaderMan technology, the light and magic industry, and founded the company “Galaxy Film Special Effects”. Furthermore, Henry invested US $ 25 million, Stan Winston invested 6 million, James Cameron invested 4 million, and the proportion of company shares held by the three was 75%, 15%, and 10%! ! !
After everyone signed the agreement, they had a small party to celebrate.
The chairman of the company is undoubtedly Henry, the CEO is Stan Winston, and James Cameron is at the heart of film special effects. As James Cameron said himself, he did not have time to run the company. He only made movies. Movie special effects are used to create movies. So he was a man with experience in film special effects.
