Ye Jin and Lin Qingxia took a plane and arrived in Los Angeles, they first went to the Lucasfilm headquarters in Hollywood.

"Hello, Mr. Lucas!" Ye Jin smiled and said to George Lucas, "I'll introduce you to Miss Lin Qingxia."

George Lucas has a distinctive appearance, with a short body, a round head, and a beard that all look a bit cute.

"Hello, Mr. Ye, hello, Miss Lin." George Lucas and Ye Jin and Lin Qingxia shook hands one after another, with a very serious expression on her face, and she didn't seem to want to see them.

"Mr. Lucas, I'm here to pay attention to the preparations for "Star Wars"." Ye Jin pretended not to see George Lucas's eyes disgusted and smiled slightly.

"Sit inside." George Lucas nodded, leading Ye Jin, Lin Qingxia and others to the office, and then began to introduce, "Now, many of our work, such as actor auditions, shooting scripts, storyboards, props, costumes, sets, etc., are progressing steadily..."

Ye Jin nodded frequently while listening to his speech.

From the current perspective, the preparations for "Star Wars" are still going smoothly. The shooting script has basically been arranged, nearly two-fifths of the storyboard have been drawn, nearly one warehouse has been prepared, and more than 300 sets of clothing have been customized...

"Very good, Mr. Lucas, it seems that it is indeed a wise choice to leave this drama to you for shooting." Ye Jin smiled, "I don't think I need to bother."

"Mr. Ye, you still need to worry." George Lucas couldn't help but speak when he saw Ye Jin so relaxed, but he was as tired as a dog.

"Is there any problem?" Ye Jin asked in confusion when he heard this.

"Yes." George Lucas nodded, "We searched all over Hollywood and couldn't find a suitable film special effects company."

"Can't find a suitable movie special effects company?" Ye Jin said in surprise when he heard this.

"Yes, their technology is too backward to meet our needs." George Lucas nodded, "You also know that Star Wars is a science fiction movie that requires a lot of special effects. If the special effects are not good, the quality of the movie will be greatly affected."

When Ye Jin heard this, he nodded.

"Star Wars" requires many special effects shots. After analysis and summary, it requires almost 300. "Lord of the Rings 1: The Rings Guardian" invested in the New Century uses more than 200 special effects shots. It can be seen that the production difficulty of "Star Wars" is very difficult.

The main selling point of science fiction action blockbusters like "Star Wars" is gorgeous special effects and grand action scenes to bring refreshing audio-visual enjoyment to the audience. Once the special effects technology is not up to standard, the quality of "Star Wars" will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

"There is really no special effects company that can take on this business?" Ye Jin looked at George Lucas and said.

"Well, no." George Lucas nodded.

In the 1960s and 1970s, the Hollywood film industry was shaking due to the impact of the TV industry. Even giants like Twentieth Century Fox Films were forced to sell and survive, so they had no extra money to develop special effects technology.

This has caused Hollywood's special effects technology to stagnate over the years, and the number and quality of employees have also declined greatly.

Like "Star Wars", it requires more than 360 special effects shots. No company can handle such a large workload. Moreover, because George Lucas has very high requirements, no special effects company's technology can meet his requirements.

"If that's the case, why don't we set up a special effects company ourselves to specifically develop the special effects needed for Star Wars?" Ye Jin looked at George Lucas.

As far as he knows, the Industrial Light and Magic Special Effects Company is a special effects company specially established by George Lucas to film "Star Wars".

In the future, it has developed into the world's most technologically advanced special effects company, and has participated in the production of "et", "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series, "Jurassic Park" series, "Legend of Gods and Ghosts" series, "Harry Potter" series, and so on.

In the film industry, it seems that there are not a few directors who set up special effects companies in order to better film.

For example, Peter Jackson established Vita Digital, which specialized in producing special effects for the Lord of the Rings series, King Kong, and the Hobbit series. James Cameron also established the digital field to provide special effects support for "Titanic", "Avatar", "Iron Armored Steel Fist", "X-Men" and so on; Xu Ke also established the special effects department of the movie studio, filming "Xiaoqian", "Shushan", "Green Snake", etc.

The reason for this is mainly because many directors are technical control and technical gullies, who are obsessed with improving the quality of the movie and pay high prices for this.

Like Li An used 120-frame projection technology in "Billy Lynn's Midfield War" to make the picture clearer. However, because this technology is too advanced and the picture is too clear, it caused some discomfort among the audience, resulting in the box office not being as expected.

When Stephen Spielberg was filming "Jaws", he was not very satisfied with some of the shots. Therefore, after the film was completed, he also took some shots in his own swimming pool, and the money spent was entirely his own money.

It is precisely because of this enthusiasm for movies that directors are more enthusiastic about special effects technology than film companies.

Sure enough, George Lucas was also very excited to hear Ye Jin say this, "Mr. Ye, your advice is very good."

"Do you agree too? Very good? Let's do it, you and I will jointly host the special effects company." Ye Jin nodded and then suggested, "How about splitting the equity equally?"

He has also been famous for Industrial Light and Magic for a long time. In his previous life, he was the most technologically advanced special effects company in the world. Almost all Hollywood special effects blockbusters are inseparable from the special effects support of Industrial Light and Magic.

If you get half of the equity of this company, then all its technical patents will be distributed to Ye Jin half. Moreover, Ye Jin can also apply the most advanced special effects technology to his own movies, making his own movies exciting and beautiful. To be honest, this special effects company alone is already priceless.

George Lucas nodded when he heard this.

He also knows that investing in special effects companies is very costly.

Because special effects research and development is a particularly expensive thing in itself.

It involves many fields, such as electronic technology, mechanical research and development, physics, mathematics, chemistry, microcomputers... Almost all of them require high-end talents, and the salary of talents is naturally extremely high. In addition to various equipment, hardware, software, and consumables...

Even for Hollywood giants, it is difficult to support a special effects company. Therefore, it is too late to welcome George Lucas with Ye Jinken to invest together.
