Chapter 432 True and False
"Galaxy Visitor" was scheduled to be released at the end of the month, so during this period, Su Yun basically stayed in a small dark room to do part of the post-production, and the other relatively simple parts were handed over to the special effects production team of Industrial Light & Magic.
Due to "hardware" limitations, although the production team has far more staff and machines than Su Yun and her system cheats, the technical gap between them cannot be made up by quantity alone.
Therefore, Su Yun’s main focus is on simplicity and quality as well as high prices. In the eyes of outsiders, this means that she has her own set of high-tech machines and systems that can handle certain tasks that require a lot of computing and rendering and thus take a lot of time.
To a certain extent, except for some specific requirements or special circumstances, the technical and machine levels of today's special effects production teams have actually begun to catch up with most of Su Yun's work, provided that they are given enough time.
But the key point of "time" is the most difficult hurdle to overcome.
Simply put, for the same transportation, sea transportation is much cheaper and more abundant than air transportation. However, the reason why air transportation still occupies a place in the market is that it has an advantage in "speed" that other methods cannot match in the current era.
However, what is more precious about Su Yun than "air transportation" is that she basically only does her own work, or takes on work recommended by friends and friends in a cooperative way, and the benefits will never flow to outsiders.
Of course, people in the industry who have some knowledge of this area probably understand the reason for her behavior: in addition to the fact that the losses are indeed huge and there is a severe shortage of manpower, in order to prevent her leading technology from being leaked, she had no choice but to do this.
Don’t you see that Industrial Light & Magic, a company full of talented people, is also picky about jobs - their own company does this, so how could Su Yun, a foreigner, give up his trump card and let others have a share?
This is the only film by Su Yun, or even Hong Kong film, that can compete with Hollywood films.
Unless they really intend to confront Su Yun, Xiangjiang and the red flag behind them, otherwise, they must never go to the point of tearing their faces apart. They can only maintain social distance and obtain the assistance of magical technology from Su Yun through cooperation or transaction.
To be honest, it's really a blessing that Su Yun is not a researcher engaged in industry, but has devoted herself to the cultural and entertainment industry. Otherwise, with her advanced and accurate vision and thinking, coupled with such amazing hands-on ability... then the competition in the field of civilian science and technology might have been a different situation.
Before smartphones and WiFi technologies drastically changed the face of the world, most people did not seem to have imagined the huge impact and changes these technologies would bring to their world.
In general, the current situation between Su Yun and these people is a bit like the current Cold War situation. Everyone wants to gain benefits from the other side, but no one is willing to turn against each other first. In the end, it ends up being a situation where no one can do anything to anyone else.
However, for Su Yun, the stalemate in the overall situation is a transparent shadow hanging in the sky. Before this shadow can really tear down the peaceful face and press down, she can still continue to make money from them...
After all, this is still the era when the US dollar is the father. Su Yun spends most of her time focusing on doing business in Hollywood, and the profits she can make are far greater than in Hong Kong - Hong Kong films can only cover Asia and a small part of Europe and America at most, but if Hollywood starts with the "co-production" model, the coverage will be close to the world.
As a result, Su Yun's status in Zhao's company is rising day by day. Even Jiahe and Zhen Yicheng, with whom she has already started some cooperation, are "quite fond of" her: Su Yun not only promoted herself and Zhuang Long, an international male artist, but also recently sent Zhang Querong, who is under her, to the pinnacle of the international entertainment event, the Cannes Film Festival Best Actor Award. Moreover, she always relies on the resources of co-production films to gradually bring people who are on her side and are on her side to Hollywood.
It has been a very unfriendly place to Chinese people since a long time ago and even till now!
But Su Yun managed to bite off a considerable piece of cake from this tough guy bit by bit, and has been maintaining such small moves, time and time again, withstanding the pressure and controversy, and sending one artist after another out.
What's more, the most terrifying thing is that Su Yun doesn't care too much about this kind of achievement that can be said to be amazing in the eyes of others - ordinary people can send themselves and their people out to earn foreign exchange, and their tails are estimated to be soaring to the sky. However, while Su Yun takes his people out to make money, he always treats those people and things outside with an equal, or even slightly contemptuous attitude.
This seemingly innate sense of national pride is completely different from the self-forgetfulness of those who, after making a name for themselves outside, begin to evolve into yellow-skinned, white-hearted banana people.
The outside world was full of turmoil, but it seemed to have no effect on Su Yun, who was squatting in the house in her own little world. After working hard to finish the day's work, she finally had some time to rest, so she took the time to go back and visit her aunt Huang Misheng and Grandma Su.
Drinking the delicious soup cooked by the two elderly people for her, she seemed to be able to wash away the fatigue and dust on her body.
Knowing that Su Yun is just like her husband Zhao Rifu, who would forget all his relatives when he was busy with work, Huang Misheng could only take care of Grandma Su. They sat on both sides of the dining table, persuading her to eat more of this and that, so as to add some flesh to her thin face.
Su Yun thanked the two old men for their kindness, and then turned into an incinerator, sweeping away most of the food on the table. Only then did she lean on the chair and slow down.
After a while, after finishing the sweet stew after dinner, Su Yun was finally able to support his heavy body and get up and go upstairs to rest.
After making a few phone calls and greeting the Mei sisters and the older and younger brothers, Su Yun, who was lying on the bed, supported her tired body and started a long-distance call to the capital.
In fact, this was quite a matter of luck. As the only male lead in "The Last Emperor", Zhuang Long naturally had many and heavy filming tasks. In addition, the current communication convenience in the capital was far behind that in later times. Su Yun made this call with the expectation that the call would not go through.
However, maybe the old hot soup gave her a little luck tonight. This call that she thought had little hope actually got through quite luckily: "Hello?"
Su Yun was even more surprised when she could tell it was Zhuang Long's voice: this phone number was the phone number of the hotel where he was staying. She originally thought that even if she was lucky enough to get through and someone answered the phone, it would be a hotel staff member who would then notify Zhuang Long to come over and answer the phone.
Unexpectedly, the person who answered the phone was the person she wanted to call.
Without giving it much thought, Su Yun simply asked him a few words, and after confirming that his health and the filming were all fine, she decided to hang up.
Knowing that Su Yun was truly "cold-blooded" when she was busy, Zhuang Long quickly said to Su Yun the second before she hung up the phone: "I miss you so much."
"Although I also want to reply to you, I miss you so much..." Su Yun was stunned for a moment, and then began to add a cruel follow-up, "But, I am really too busy recently and don't have the time to think about you..."
"I know." He laughed on the other end of the phone. His deep voice was a little distorted by the long distances between the wires, but the emotion in his tone didn't seem to be lost at all. "I just like your real and lovely appearance."
The most important thing is that Su Yun is too busy to think about him, let alone others.
If Su Yun called at this time and said some sweet words to coax him... then people would worry that she was guilty of being a thief.
What can he do when he meets such a little bastard who can go out and have fun in the colorful world without being supervised for a while? All he can do is turn a blind eye and hold on to this sweet trouble.
"Okay, stop saying these creepy things." Su Yun was really too unromantic when she wanted to be unromantic. She responded to him in a serious tone and then whispered, "If I have the chance, I'll visit you at work."
"Okay. I'll wait for you." After hearing the busy tone from the other end of the phone, Zhuang Long put away the smile he had been wearing since he answered the phone.
Although "I'll have the opportunity to visit you on set" is definitely not a sweet phrase, but for someone like Su Yun who spends most of his time in a workaholic mentality that doesn't understand romance, he seems to be able to chew out a hint of sweetness from this sentence.
It turns out that I am also a vulgar person who deceives myself and others by hoping to hear a nice word from the person I care about.
It was worth it that whenever he had a little rest time, he would stay by the phone without moving. No matter how others thought he was weird, he would still stay there, just for that long-distance call that might never come.
As for the premise of "opportunity" in Su Yun's words, he didn't expect too much.
Not knowing what Zhuang Long was thinking, Su Yun put down her mobile phone after finishing the call and picked up her half-charged PDA on the bedside table.
After checking the schedule for the next few months, Su Yun added a note on a certain date with certainty: go to the capital.
