Chapter 822 (1/2)

Spielberg served and worked on some other work. Michael Ovitz left CAA headquarters at 11 o'clock and went to the Burbank Universal Studios on the other side of Beverly Hills.

Today, I have a lunch with Simon to discuss LinkedIn, which will be launched at the end of June.

After the project was finalized in February and received the venture capital of igritte, in recent months, Eisner has been mainly responsible for the project. Because neighbors and shareholders are two friends who often get together after dinner to discuss all the details of the site. This lunch is Eisner's invitation to Weiss Trojan, and finally decided to make an appointment in the internal restaurant of Burbank universal studios according to Simon's schedule.

feared that he would arrive in Universal Studios before he got stuck in a traffic jam, and the time was only 11:40.

Call Eisner and learn that the other party has arrived ahead of time. They are staying with westero at Universal cinema inside the studio.

Park in a parking lot near Kirk Douglas Avenue in the north of the cinema. Michael owitz is familiar with walking to universal cinema. He looks at the tourists around him and feels strange. In the Universal Studios, Spielberg first worked in universal studios as a tour guide. At that time, he was just a truant green boy who had run away from class to work in Universal Studios.

Now everything has changed.

after Denis's entertainment and acquisition of MCA, the Universal Studios, which occupy an area of 200 hectares, are more and more inclined to a more pure theme park. Most of the office departments have turned to Mali Bodin Nelly silk studios, even if the danielis produced the wisteria street scene and Friends studio, which are set up here. They will also be open to visitors regularly. The office space reserved for many Hollywood celebrities has also become a favorite attraction for movie fans.

's early Hollywood in order to make good friends with the famous film makers, often reserved an office for each other inside the studio. Spielberg's Berlin company had a small building specially built in Universal Studios.

CAA is the habit of keeping the office of the big coffee, actually it is inspired by the experience of tour guide in Universal Studios.

Danielis entertainment still retains this custom.

now, in addition to quietly moving Spielberg away from Berlin, in recent years, there are more big coffee offices in the two studios of Universal Studios and Malibu movie city.

Universal cinema is located in the middle of the movie city. In fact, it is a large multi hall cinema for tourists. Unlike Disneyland, Burbank Universal Studios is more like a large commercial center. Apart from all kinds of attractions, film city's interior restaurants, hotels, cinemas, shopping plaza and even hospitals are all lacking.

Michael owitz came here, and a staff member took him to a theater theater theater that was being renovated.

Entering the screening hall, in the dim light, owitz first noticed the ghosting picture on the big screen in front of him, vaguely distinguishing that this should be the clip of Jurassic Park 2.

3D。

The name flashed into owitz's mind for the first time.

Because of his work, owitz, who was not in Los Angeles some time ago, did not attend the premiere of Jurassic Park 2 held in the holy citizen auditorium on May 31. However, he also heard the shocking effect of IMAX broadcast mode in the film premiere. It is also rumored in the circle that Denise entertainment will vigorously promote this new film broadcast mode next.

Owitz, who likes to find out what happened, immediately asked his assistant to find the information of IMAX. After research, he felt that it was not easy to promote IMAX, because the cost of this playback system was too high.

However, it is not impossible to gather the power of Hollywood.

Now, seeing the 3D version of Jurassic Park 2 in the screening Hall of universal cinema, owitz realizes that, like the original CG special effects, danilisi entertainment is once again at the forefront of Hollywood in film technology.

The staff handed over a pair of 3D eyes. Owitz said thanks to each other. He went to an empty seat in the middle of the movie hall and sat down. Taking advantage of the light in the movie hall, he looked at the 3D glasses in his hand. They were not the red and Blue 3D he had seen in his memory. He put on the glasses and looked at the big screen. It was just the scene of the dinosaur army flattening the poachers' base. The sense of shock was not obvious To add.

It's a pity that what's playing on the big screen is not the whole story, but just a fragment.

In less than five minutes, the video was played and the lights in the projection hall were on again.

Simon, Eisner and others were sitting in the front row. When the light was on, owitz got up and went over to say hello to Simon and exclaimed, ”Simon, I just saw the future of Hollywood, right?”

”Of course.”

Simon nodded with a smile, said a few words to several danilisi entertainment executives around him, and took the a girl to get up and walk out with owitz and Eisner.

The meal is arranged in the inner restaurant in the north of the studio.

Everyone joked and went out of the cinema together. At noon, there were not many tourists. Simon put on a pair of sunglasses and soon got on a battery car and rushed to the North administrative district.Until they sat down in the restaurant, Simon and Eisner were still talking about 3D and IMAX.

Both 3D and IMAX have a history of decades. The main reason why it has not been popularized is not cost, but unnecessary.

Before the 1990s, there were few science fiction blockbusters in Hollywood, such as Star Wars series. Although Star Wars used a lot of new technology, it was not good at visual effects. It was mainly a new scientific fantasy world created by George Lucas.

In addition, most Hollywood movies are very traditional types.

Whether it's Sylvester Stallone's ”the first drop of blood” series or Spielberg's ”Raiders” series, the viewing experience of such films on 2D and 3D screens is not much different, and IMAX and ordinary screens are roughly the same.

Since there will be no disruptive changes in the viewing experience, there is no need to promote it.

Now it's different.

As CG special effects technology becomes more and more mature, more and more visual spectacle films are created by using a large number of special effects technology, such as Jurassic Park series and DC movie universe series. The viewing experience of these films on 2D screen is completely different from that on 3D screen or IMAX.

So now is the right time to start promoting technologies like 3D and IMAX.

The promotion of any new film technology is inseparable from the content and channels. In the final analysis, it is actually capital. Even if other studios don't cooperate, danilis entertainment has been able to complete the film screening mode reform by itself.

Simon is actually planning to do the same.
