Chapter 628 Filming fever caused by color film Chapter 629 Dad died(2/4)
People have reduced our efforts one after another. At the same time, everyone realized that after the acquisition, the Lockettke Consortium actually increased its strength, almost equal to the Bank of America Consortium, becoming the most powerful consortium among the California Consortium.
This immediately attracted the attention of Rockefeller Consortium and other consortiums, and they also began to take various countermeasures.
Especially the Rockefeller Consortium, for them, our strength increase is the last thing they want to see, so after we acquired the Sicily Pharmaceutical Group, they immediately seized the steps to start with the Bank of America consortium, and then tried every means to set up difficulties in the reform of Lockett Pharmaceutical Company.
But for us, this is just a tickling action, under the full advocacy of Gulit's Bella, the reform of the company was carried out in a vivid and exciting way.
In mid-August, Coolidge's beloved son, Hannibal Coolidge, who works in New York, came to Los Angeles to report to me.
I am naturally very welcome to this young man who graduated from Harvard Business School.
After some consideration, I arranged him to Gulit Bella, and let him serve as the financial director and deputy general manager of Lockettke Pharmaceuticals, becoming the second-in-command of the company.
This arrangement is also my consideration. First of all, I don’t know much about Hannibal Coolidge’s level, so I want to use this to investigate him. Secondly, Gulit Bella is now in need of people, especially those who know economics and corporate management. The most important thing is that with Hannibal Coolidge, Gulit Bella can check and balance Gulit Bella. After all, Gulit Bella has just arrived, and some things must be guarded against.
After Hannibal Coolidge joined Lockettke Pharmaceutical Company, I was very satisfied. I am a talented student at Harvard Business School. As soon as I joined the company, this young man played a major role in the reorganization with his enthusiasm and outstanding talent. He received praise from Gulit Bella. And the Norman Bethune also surprised me a lot. I never knew that he was not only a good surgeon, but actually had a good marketing skill. The company was reorganized very heavily.
One part of the need is to reopen the Locketek Pharmaceuticals to go to the market across the country. This is a very cumbersome and heavy task, but Norman Bethune has done it very well. Since the company began to reorganize, he has flew almost all over the country. In addition to successfully completing the tasks assigned by the company, he also put forward many amazing suggestions. This made me very doubtful that Norman Bethune is still the person I remember?
The reform of Lockett Pharmaceuticals is in full swing. All work within DreamWorks is also continuing.
At the end of August, an event that will affect the history of world films occurred.
This incident is the DreamWorks Research Department that finally conquered the color film technology!
Colorful movies have been invested in research almost since the founding of DreamWorks. In recent years, a lot of manpower and material resources have been invested, which has condensed the countless hard work and sweat of DreamWorks. Finally, it was completed.
When I got this news, I was busy with Lockettec Pharmaceuticals in San Francisco. I rushed back as soon as possible.
When I arrived in the company yard, I saw everyone happy.
When I walked to the underground research laboratory of the Technical Research Department, I saw a large laboratory where a group of people were holding a celebration banquet.
"Boss!" Seeing me come in, these people who have been working hard on research for a long time have straightened their backs.
Complete this difficult task I gave them. They are definitely qualified to be so awesome!
Because they advanced the history of color films 7 years ago! You should know that in history, the first color film was not released until 1935.
"Boss, the last few weaknesses of color film have been overcome. The film we have developed has completely met the film requirements!" Baird said as their place, pointing to a pile of films on the test bench.
I walked over, pulled up the film and looked carefully, and my hands trembled.
Then I raised my glass to these researchers: "Everyone. It's been a few years, for several years, for this invention, you have paid blood and sweat. Today is a victory day! Everyone has done this glass of wine together!"
"Cheers to DreamWorks!"
"Cheers to DreamWorks!"
Everyone in the laboratory cheered in unison.
"Everyone, starting today, I will give you two months of vacation. In the past two months, DreamWorks escorts you to Europe for fun, and you can visit our European branch and arms branch." I smiled and narrowed my eyes.
"Long live!" All of these people jumped up.
For several years, they have worked hard day and night, almost never leaving their homes. The two months of vacation may seem nothing to others, but for them, it is an extremely rare opportunity to relax.
"In addition, each person who participates in the research will receive a villa in the West District of Hollywood. The funding reward will be distributed by the company's finance department. In addition, I promise you that my next film will use your color film!"
"Long live!"
"Long live!"
The researchers were all excited and hugged each other tightly.
These people are all the best in the field of American film technology. Since joining DreamWorks, they have never asked for this and that. They are so focused and down-to-earth, a group of people who will not appear in the public eye. Even many DreamWorks people don’t know them. When DreamWorks is in a glorious situation, people can’t see them, and when DreamWorks wins trophys
I was not on the scene, but I know that all the achievements made by DreamWorks are heavy!
"Boss, can you take your family to travel to Europe??"
"Yes, I haven't taken my kids out for several years."
...
The inquiries from these people made me feel sad.
"Take it! Take it all! Make good compensation for them! If you are not married, the company should arrange a partner for you!" My words made everyone laugh.
At the cocktail party, I called Gans and Baird in front of me.
"Have you applied for a patent for color film?" I whispered.
"I applied. I just approved it yesterday." Baird nodded.
I let out a sigh of strength and said, "That's good. This technology is very important and must not be leaked."
"Boss, don't worry. We know this." Baird nodded.
"Belde, I heard from Gans that the last time the DreamWorks people did a collective health check, you seemed to have a lot of problems." I looked at Baide.
Baird smiled awkwardly and said, "It's all a little problem."
"Bad! There are no minor problems with health issues. During these two months of vacation, don't go to Europe. Go to the First Hospital of Los Angeles to recuperate!" I gave a death order.
"Okay, then I'll go and cultivate." Baird licked his lips.
The color movies made DreamWorks crazy and also brought enthusiasm for filming.
Stenberg submitted one of his scripts to me and asked for filming to start in the second half of the year.
This script, called "Blonde Venus", is about a love story in Paris, but it hides Stenberg's struggle against society and destiny. Once the script was taken out, it conquered all the director teams in the mainland, and the movie was successfully decided to be filmed.
Munau and Flahadi later submitted a script together. The script's name is "Tao". The two requested a joint filming film, but it surprised me and the others.
This movie is a bit extreme, telling a story that happened on an island in the Pacific Ocean. The heroine was chosen by the sacrificial priest as a sacrifice. The hero went through a lot of hard work to rescue his lover. But he still couldn't escape death in the end. The story is full of the mysterious Moonau movies and their thoughts about fate. Heavy and profound.
After discussion, the film was successfully shot.
Among the remaining people, Dunar was appointed by me to shoot the third movie "Jihad Cavalry", "The Treasure Cavalry", which made Dunar very happy.
As for Griffith, the old man still decided not to make a movie, but decided to be my assistant director.
Since color films have been successfully studied, there have been differences on the issue of color films.
Munau and Flahadi believe that their movies are more suitable for black and white movies, and black and white movies are conducive to the emotional rendering of the movies, so it is determined that "Tao" is still a black-brand film.
Dunar finally got a chance to shoot a movie and didn't want to mess it up. In color movies, no one has any experience, so this guy also wants to make a black and white movie. He wants to do it after accumulating some experience.
However, this guy from Stenberg was very bold and insisted on making his new film into a color movie, which made me very happy.
I decided to go down and shoot, and the rest of my work was to build a lattice crew.
So, the various departments of DreamWorks began to be divided up by these guys.
Betty Davis was spotted by Stenberg and became the heroine of "Blonde Venus". The blonde girl is the right person to play the movie. In addition, Huang Zongzhan became the photographer of this movie. This guy went to my office more than eight times a day. He smiled and said that as a photographer, he wanted to try a new color movie and patted his chest and told me that he would learn the relevant experiences.
I had nodded to agree to his request.
Stenberg has always been decisive and after building the crew in a short time, he followed the ship of Lockettec Transportation Company to Europe, Paris, which was his filming location.
::.The task of building, Munau and Flahadi is the easiest, because they only need to choose the male and female protagonists. Other work will be completed on a small island called Cinnatina where they filmed.
In comparison, the work of building the crew of Dunar's "Raiders of the Lost Ark: The Holy War Cavalry" is much more arduous. Catherine Hepburn and Cary Grant were selected to be the leading actors and actresses, and at the same time, the company also tried its best to support his work. After all, this movie is the largest investment of all the films.
After the three crews took a short time to build the project, they went to work hard, and DreamWorks suddenly became busy.
Walt Disney's fourth factory was not idle either. They decided to use color film to shoot the first color animation film in history, "Snow White".
I naturally support this decision.
After all this, Stiller came back before I could breathe well.
That day, while I was thinking about what to shoot for my next movie in the office, Jimmy rushed in.
"Boss, let me know. Can't you yell?" This guy is so bold that he has started teasing me.
"Tell me." I pushed the typewriter in my hand away, and it was empty.
"Mr. Stiller is back."
"Stiller is back?! Really?!" I stood up suddenly.
"It's in the yard." Jimmy pointed downstairs.
I rolled and climbed downstairs, and sure enough, I saw Stiller surrounded by a group of people in the yard.
Looking at this guy's face, it was much better than before, with a rosy complexion. Even his voice was octave higher than usual.
"Stiller, why are you running back?!" My heart jumped up.
Stiller looked at me, scratched his head and said, "I don't know, on Santa Catalina Island, the high priest kept treating me. Yesterday he told me that I could come back, and I'm back."
"Then, did the high priest cure your disease?" I surrounded him and looked up.
"I don't know, it's just feeling
There are too many." Stiller smiled.
"It's not so amazing, right?" I shouted. Then I turned around and waved to Gans, saying, "Guans. I prepare the car, but Los Angeles First Hospital."
Gans immediately understood what I meant, pulled Stiller and ran towards the car.
"Woolf, it seems that Stiller is much better. Can you tell me the truth?" Looking at Stiller's back, I asked Woolf in a deep voice.
