Chapter 309 Alien

Shortly after the press conference ended, many partners arrived one after another, and thousands of consumers called.

Computer manufacturers such as HP and IBM never thought that the Mango 32 computer would be so popular. They did not dare to try 32-bit computers easily, but now they regret it.

32-bit personal computers mean faster, more features, and more user-friendly computers.

Mango Computer Company became the first to try it. Not only did it make a lot of money, it also opened up brand awareness. Now, anyone who pays attention to computers knows that Mango Computer Company is the only company in the world with 32-bit computers.

As the saying goes, strike while the iron is hot!

The Mango 32 PC was officially released in the first week after the press conference. The product was very popular, and there were even long queues at the door of many stores.

…

"Yuqin, bring me this week's sales data from Mango Computer Company." Li Zetian raised his head and said to Dongfang Yuqin, who was sitting on the desk next to him.

"OK."

Li Zetian took the document handed to him by Dongfang Yuqin and looked at it casually.

Since the official launch of Mango 32, Mango Computer Company's performance has soared. In this week, 385,000 Mango 32 personal computers were sold. In addition, 155,000 16-bit Mango computers were sold.

This week's sales can crush the sales of many computer companies in one or two months.

Li Zetian still remembers that at the beginning of his business, the sales volume of Apple-I personal computers did not reach 10,000 in a year. In the past 12 years, great changes have been made, especially the popularity of personal computers in the United States is very high!

I have to say that Li Zetian contributed a lot to this.

"Next, we should vigorously develop the network and increase broadband! The broadband is too small to do anything! Looking at the development of history, hardware has always promoted the development of software! Without hardware support, pictures and online videos cannot be supported! And the Internet is A world of words, pictures and videos!" Li Zetian said to himself.

If Sprint had not merged with GTE not long ago, and it would take a period of time to adjust, Li Zetian would definitely continue to acquire a local phone company.

At present, the umbrella company still has more than 6 billion US dollars in its account, which is very sufficient. If it fails, it can still get a loan from the bank.

…

It’s hot summer, July 10th.

Li Zetian was invited to attend the premiere press conference of "Alien 2" filmed by James Cameron.

Li Zetian is a fan of the "Alien" series and wants to know the difference between "Alien 2", which invested US$60 million and was supported by Industrial Light and Magic, and its previous life. The original film production cost of "Alien 2" was only US$18.5 million.

So Li Zetian attended the movie premiere conference, also to cheer for 20th Century Fox Film Company, and also to show his goodwill to James Cameron.

Sure enough, when Li Zetian came to the film conference, the whole audience was shocked and shocked! There is no doubt that "Alien 2" and Li Zetian will be linked together and make headlines the next day, and the box office will definitely rise in the future.

"Hello Director James Cameron, the "Terminator" you shot is very good. I hope this "Alien 2" can be even better!"

"Thank you Mr. Li for the compliment!" James Cameron smiled, with a hint of shock and pride on his face. He thought to himself that even the richest man in the world came to support him, it was really a great honor.

Under the stage, countless cameras were pointed at Li Zetian, and the flashlights were flashing continuously. It was rare for Li Zetian to attend the film conference. This was really big news!

The reporters were so excited!

"Mr. Li, long time no see!"

A voice with a hint of charm came.

Li Zetian turned around and said calmly: "Oh, it turns out to be Miss Nikita Ricci!"

Nikita was overjoyed and thought, sure enough, Chronos Li has acquired 20th Century Fox and will definitely stand up to support its development. Since "Alien 2" has attracted his attention, he will naturally come to this press conference.

Li Zetian deliberately kept a distance from Nikita.

He had just made a mistake, and now he couldn't make a second mistake. Otherwise, he cannot forgive himself.

Not long after, the movie watching started and everyone entered the cinema.

Because of the sufficient funds for "Alien 2" and the support of Industrial Light and Magic, the sense of déjà vu of a blockbuster hit his face. Li Zetian had not enjoyed such a super refreshing audio-visual feeling for a long time. Although there are flaws in many places due to the original technology, it is already very good.

Li Zetian was so shocked, let alone the other viewers.

As soon as the alien appeared, people were immediately frightened and screamed, and then they were always worried about those humans.

"James Cameron really has the ability to make blockbusters. The more money you give him, the better-looking movies he makes! Foreign media in previous lives always said that "Alien 2" is the greatest sequel movie, and it is true. However, in this life, "Alien 2" can completely beat the previous "Alien 2", the plot has ups and downs, the scenes are shocking, it is simply explosive, it is perfect!" Li Zetian said to himself.

Li Zetian likes watching movies, especially science fiction movies.

But nowadays, there are very few excellent science fiction movies, which makes Li Zetian very regretful.

After the movie was played, people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"I didn't expect aliens to board the spaceship. I was scared to death. I thought humanity was going to be doomed!"

"The heroine is so awesome. She drove a cargo-moving machine to fight an alien, and actually won the fight. That's awesome! And at the critical moment, she opened the hatch and threw the alien into outer space, completely resolving the crisis!"

"Yeah, all the aliens should be dead by now! The planet was bombed by nuclear bombs, and the aliens in the spaceship were also killed!"

"Haha, this is not necessarily true. According to the film company's urine, the "Alien" series will definitely have a sequel... Do you remember that little girl? She was suddenly taken away near the end of the movie. Maybe the alien had already been in her There are insect eggs planted in the body!!”

"Damn it, this is really possible!!!"

"So, aliens are coming to the earth? Oh, my God, the aliens are so powerful and have such a strong reproductive capacity. It will undoubtedly be an unprecedented disaster for the earth!"

"..."

After people walked out of the movie, they started talking and praising the movie. At the same time, they were looking forward to the next sequel.

Li Zetian and James Cameron walked together and couldn't help but said: "Congratulations, Director Cameron, this movie is very well made and it will definitely be a huge success! Look at these audiences, they all like it so much ! I wonder if you are interested in filming the next one?"

The copyright of "Alien" belongs to 20th Century Fox Film Company, and Li Zetian wants to build "Alien" into a super IP.

James Cameron shook his head, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, "Alien 2" is already the best work I have ever shot. If I continue to make the next step, I may not be able to surpass it."

Li Zetian nodded and asked no more. It would be good to have a director with a different style to make a movie with different highlights.

At around 10 o'clock in the evening, Li Zetian returned home. In the living room, Dongfang Yuqin and Yu Jingqiu were watching TV, while Youran and William went to bed.

"Is the movie good?" Yu Jingqiu took a sip of juice and asked.

Li Zetian sat between the two women, hugged each other, nodded with a smile, and said: "It's very beautiful!!! The special effects technology of Industrial Light and Magic is beyond my expectations. It seems that my investment has not been in vain! In addition, , James Cameron’s directorial skills are absolutely world-class, and the whole story is extremely exciting, full of ups and downs, and touching people’s hearts. In the cinema, people couldn’t help but scream many times!”

Li Zetian invested a lot of money in Industrial Light and Magic, especially the development of computer special effects technology. In addition, he also had a lot of skills to practice. If Disney's movies need special effects, they always turn to Industrial Light and Magic. In addition, most other film companies also use Industrial Light and Magic to do special effects for them.

In the hands of Li Zetian, Industrial Light and Magic has developed much faster than in the hands of Lucas. The current level of computer special effects can directly catch up with the early 1990s in the previous life.

Dongfang Yuqin and Yu Jingqiu were both slightly surprised, and made an appointment to watch the movie tomorrow.

Although I have a private theater at home, when I want to watch a movie, I have to go to the theater to enjoy the atmosphere.

"I'll go with you!" Li Zetian added, "Go quietly..."

After Li Zetian had a relationship with Dongfang Yuqin and almost lost Yu Jingqiu, Li Zetian suddenly realized the importance of his relatives and could not let them leave him again. After work, I have to accompany them. Work and entertainment are also part of life.

The next day, major media outlets across the United States reported on yesterday's "Alien 2" premiere conference. Li Zetian's attendance attracted attention! In addition, the movie also received praise from many film critics!

In order not to be recognized, Li Zetian, Dongfang Yuqin, and Yu Jingqiu all put on sunglasses and caps and went to the cinema to watch "Alien 2" together.

The reputation of "Alien 2" was overwhelming, it was hard to get a ticket, and the theater was full of people.

Although Li Zetian watched it for the second time, he still found it very exciting.

"Due to the existence of Industrial Light and Magic, the level of computer special effects in Hollywood is very good. Will Hong Kong movies be beaten?"

Li Zetian sighed slightly, thought for a while, and secretly decided to let Industrial Light and Magic establish a branch in Hong Kong to promote the development of Hong Kong films.

…

A month later, "Alien 2" landed in Hong Kong, and an "Alien" trend immediately started. The very real and terrifying aliens made people's hair stand on end. The Hong Kong movies released at the same time were crushed by "Alien 2".

Film companies such as Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest lamented why Hollywood movies are so great!

"The investment in this movie is really huge, 60 million US dollars. If converted into Hong Kong dollars, it would be 200 to 300 million US dollars!!"

"Does the United States like to make blockbusters? The investment is so huge. For our Hong Kong films, an investment of just a few million is good, but an investment of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars is very small!"

"Special effects are the most expensive. It is said that one-third of the production cost of this movie was to hire Industrial Light and Magic to do the special effects!"

"Bruce Lee has now left Golden Harvest and went to the United States to make movies! Maybe the leading actor in the next movie of Disney and 20th Century Fox will be him. After all, he and Chronos Li know each other and have a good relationship. .”

"It's not easy to make a career in the United States. So far, Bruce Lee is the only one who has enjoyed a good life abroad! But to be honest, making movies in Hollywood is really profitable. I heard that Bruce Lee's salary is millions of dollars, but I don't know the details. .”

"It's totally different. Even among the popular actors in Hong Kong, there are probably only a few who can get a salary of HK$1 million!"

"..."

Countless people are envious and jealous.

Within two days, the news that Industrial Light and Magic had established a branch in Hong Kong spread like wildfire.

The bosses of film companies such as Run Run Shaw and Zou Wenhuai couldn't help but be surprised.

"Why did Industrial Light and Magic establish a branch in Hong Kong?" Run Run Shaw frowned, very puzzled. Because he knows that Hong Kong movies rarely use computer special effects. Several movies may be shot in a month, and the cost of each movie is incredibly low. Obviously, it is a loss-making business for Industrial Light and Magic to open a branch in Hong Kong.

Maybe...

However, Li Zetian still believes that since Industrial Light and Magic has established a branch in Hong Kong, there will always be some film companies using Industrial Light and Magic. When their movies become popular and they taste the benefits, they will continue to cooperate with Industrial Light and Magic. In addition, Hong Kong's martial arts action is very exciting. Li Zetian feels that Industrial Light and Magic can combine action special effects and computer special effects here to strengthen Industrial Light and Magic!
