The Industrial Giant Reborn.

Chapter 413 Photoshop
The most important purpose of coming to the United States this time is to meet Michael Eisner. As long as he is willing to join Disney, then his acquisition will definitely be a blood profit. However, it is better to be better. For Disney, Chen Zhiwen Also give some help within your ability.

The most basic thing is capital, not only the 2 million US dollars to be injected, but also the huge debt that was originally on Disney. Chen Zhiwen also resisted for them, but it was similar and temporary. The money still needs to be paid by Disney. The company has to rely on itself to repay, and the deadline is half a year. After half a year, Disney still has to repay its debts.

Half a year is enough time for Eisner to make some changes.

On the other hand, what Chen Zhiwen can help is naturally to promote the early appearance of those classic cartoon movies in later generations.

As a time traveler, Chen Zhiwen does not have the kind of golden finger that can write out the entire plot of a movie, but he probably knows the content of the story. He only needs to briefly tell the plot, and leave the rest to Disney professionals. Various contents are carried out in detail.Even some classic anime movies come from some existing stories, such as "Beauty and the Beast", so I just need to point out the direction.

As Disney, which currently has the strongest animation film development ability, it should still have this ability. Even if it does not, he will ask Michael Eisner to build this team, so that not only can it meet its own requirements, but Disney will also need this in the future. team.

But now that Eisner has not officially joined Disney, he will not tell the other party these specific details. It is necessary to be defensive, although the possibility is unlikely.

"Okay, I understand." Michael Eisner didn't care, which is normal.

"Another point is that the computing power of chips in Silicon Valley is getting stronger and stronger. The current supercomputer should be able to draw and even convert into animation videos. Moreover, drawing with computers can also reduce labor costs on a large scale. In this regard, you Let's investigate." Chen Zhiwen said again.

If it is in Hong Kong or the mainland, the labor cost may not be worth mentioning compared to a masterpiece movie, but in the United States, hehe.

An animation is actually produced by switching countless screens quickly. There is a limitation of the human eye, that is, 24 frames per second. The characters are really moving and have a realistic feeling, but if it is less than this number, it will freeze and feel awkward.Including film is actually similar to this logic.If you look at previous cartoons, when people are talking, only the mouth moves, and other expressions are the same. This is actually to reduce costs and reduce the amount of painting.

A movie is at least two hours, 7200 seconds, and multiplied by 24, the original painting required is 10 levels, plus many failed comics, which are drawn by Yankees, and the cost is very high.

The improvement of computer performance can eliminate a lot of repetitive work.

"Hollywood, in fact, has paid attention to supercomputers a long time ago. When I was in Paramount, I also visited IBM. Their computing power should have this capability, but there is no relevant software to cooperate. There are also some on the market. Some painting software, but they are all very amateur, and ordinary people can play with them, but they are far from being used to make movies." Michael Eisner said.

"No professional drawing software?" Chen Zhiwen's heart skipped a beat.

"Yes, it may be because there is not a high demand for professional drawing software on the market, so there are currently no Silicon Valley companies specializing in this area." Michael said.

"Okay, let's not rush this matter." Chen Zhiwen nodded. Without professional software, Hollywood really can't be computerized quickly. Future adobe companies to benefit from it.

But the current Adobe, does not exist yet?The time to develop PS is even worse. In this case, this matter needs to be done by yourself.With the current financial resources of Midea, it should not be a problem to make it, but whether it can be done so well remains to be seen.

"Okay, that's it for today." Chen Zhiwen paused and said, "We have talked about the general plan for the future. What to do next, let's wait until you join the job to discuss the details."

"No problem, it may take me a month to resign from Paramount, and after staying at Disney for a while, I will go to Hong Kong and talk to you again." Michael Eisner said with a smile.

In fact, he also wants to leave Paramount. Although his opponent has an impulsive temper, he is not a fool. The chairman of Paramount has already felt that he has made great achievements. If he stays there, he will only be suppressed infinitely and will not get resources. He will definitely not have the previous achievements, so he might as well leave.

Now, he will also become the CEO of another entertainment company in Hollywood. Although the company has many problems, there is a boss with strong funds and support behind him, and he is very polite and polite to him, giving him enough freedom to manage the company. The remuneration is not bad, considering so many conditions, a fool would know how to choose.

"Okay, inform my secretary in advance and I will arrange a private plane to pick you up." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile.

"I'm honored, this is the first time for me to take a large private jet." Michael Eisner said with a smile. Of course he knows that his boss owns a Boeing 747 private jet. It's hard to imagine how luxurious the interior of such an aircraft would be.

……

After confirming Michael Eisner's employment decision, Chen Zhiwen left Burbank, but before leaving, he still met with Jim Hughes and told him that he was more interested in a coffee chain store he had seen, and asked him to go to Check out Starbucks and invest in some if you get the chance.

Although he felt a little strange, Jim Hughes probably asked some of his friends and knew that this was just a small company, so he agreed.

Many big bosses have their own hobbies, and will invest millions of dollars because of these. If Chen Zhiwen likes the taste of this coffee, he is ready to invest, which is not surprising.

After leaving Burbank, Chen Zhiwen came to Los Angeles, the training base of the Lakers.

Naturally, coach Mike still accompanied him. Chen Zhiwen looked at a young black man on the field and said, "You recruited Michael Jordan so quickly?"

"Not to mention digging." Coach Mike said with a smile: "He doesn't have a contract himself, he just plays in the college training ground, so I naturally accept him, with a signing fee of 25 US dollars a year."

Even if he is a waste, when the boss is interested, he has to sign a contract. Not to mention, Coach Mike is also an experienced person. After watching two Jordan games in school, he immediately felt that this person has strong basketball skills and physical fitness. The quality of sports is very high, so I went to the principal's office immediately. After revealing my identity, I met Jordan under the arrangement of the principal and told the Lakers that they wanted to sign him.

Jordan was naturally happy and almost jumped up. His purpose of playing is to enter the league team, and now the Lakers, one of the strongest teams in the league, are here to personally recruit him. Can he not be excited?And the signing fee is also quite a lot.

"He won't go to college?" Chen Zhiwen asked.

"These people go to college for the chance to enter the league, because the playoffs are to select seedlings from various universities. Now that they can directly enter the Lakers, who will go to any university!" Mike said with a smile.

"Yeah yeah..." There was a burst of cheers from the stadium. It was Jordan who scored and dunked again, and it was two old players in the team who tried to stop him.

"Boss, Jordan's potential is very strong. Now in our team, there are only two or three people who can surpass him in strength. I think, this year's game, we can bring him as a strong substitute, and it is still no problem. Yes, the main reason is that he may not understand many rules of the league game, otherwise he can play directly." Mike explained.

"No problem, you can figure it out, you are professionals, but if possible, give him a chance to practice on the real field." Chen Zhiwen nodded and said.

No matter how strong Jordan's foundation is, it will take a while to reach the highest level, but it's better to be able to do it earlier. It's good to push him so that he can play earlier.You must know that all kinds of athletes, including basketball players, actually have the peak period of their sports career in a few years, at most ten years, and after that, no matter how good their skills are, they will also face the problems of physical decline and multiple old injuries.Now two years earlier, it may increase his sports career by about 15%, which is of great significance.

"Okay, no problem." Mike nodded and agreed. The boss was just requesting politely, but he knew what to do. Unless he encountered an evenly matched team and the game was hard to tell, otherwise he could send newcomers to the field. Yes, if you are strong, you can let the bench players go up to play after opening the gap by a few points, and vice versa if you are sure to lose.

But with the strength of the Lakers, as long as they don't meet those strong teams, everything else is just for fun.

"Okay, let's do it. If you can reach this year's finals, I will give everyone a big bonus." Chen Zhiwen said with a smile before leaving.

He actually likes basketball quite a bit. After he has a team, he naturally needs to support and encourage him a little more. This can be regarded as the fun pursued by the few super rich.

As for meeting Jordan in person, today is also unnecessary, and it won't be too late when he makes some achievements in the game.

After leaving Los Angeles, Chen Zhiwen returned to Hong Kong. The first thing he did after landing was to find Lei Shengli from Midea and said, "I want to develop a professional painting software called Photoshop. What do you think? "
