Chapter 3167: Swearing-In Ceremony
w The movie scene was built as quickly as Tom Wright said. After Ken spent double or even triple the price, the speed of the scene construction was far beyond the imagination of many directors. The construction of "Alien" was relatively simple in scale, mainly inside the spaceship, so it was completed in just one week. Walking in, it was like being in a spaceship. Of course, this is not an illusion. Instead, a spaceship was really built.
In 7 days, Tom Wright mobilized 30,000 workers to work day and night, 24 hours a day, and people rested while machines did not rest, and built a spaceship in the "Future City". This is a miracle!
Of course, the greater miracle is still in the construction of the "Resident Evil" scene. After Paul Anderson arrived, he began to build the "Resident Evil" scene. The underground structure of the "beehive" in the first "Resident Evil" was built (except for the subway, which is temporarily incapable and will be opened in the future), and the original facilities were restored as much as possible. Although this investment seems unreasonable, after all, its scenes can only be used in the first "Resident Evil", but it can be used as the scene of other science fiction movies and zombie movies in the future.
One-time investment, lifelong benefit. Moreover, it can be opened to tourists and charge tickets, which is definitely profitable.
"Boss, this worker is not enough!" Tom Wright frowned.
In order to build these scenes in the past few days, the construction of the "Dream City" has almost stopped, which completely affected Tom Wright's plan.
"Well, then recruit people. Still the same. 70% from China. 20% from locals, and 10% from Africa!" Lin Feng said.
Tom Wright was stunned.
"Tom, you will become my chief engineer in the future. In terms of construction, my requirement is that 7 of the 10 engineers must be Chinese. Because I am Chinese, I have to give priority to my compatriots, 2 are locals, because I avoid giving the local government an excuse to make trouble, and the last one is African. My future industry will be in Africa, so I have to play the emotional card with them." Lin Feng said.
Tom nodded.
"Then this time, I plan to recruit another 100,000 people." Tom asked tentatively.
He originally wanted to recruit another 50,000. To make up 100,000 people. Working day and night, in 2 years, the main structure of this 'Dream City' should be fully completed. But seeing that Lin Feng seemed to have no shortage of money, he wanted to witness this miracle in architectural history as soon as possible, so he proposed 100,000 people. I just don't know if Lin Feng will agree. After all, the more people there are, the greater the cost of rushing to work day and night. Because once the number of people increases. The number of on-site supervisors, logistics service personnel, and various infrastructures will increase, and the cost will increase.
Unexpectedly, Lin Feng nodded.
"I don't care how many people you plan to use, as long as everyone can make the best use of their resources. Even if you recruit another 100,000 people, I agree." Lin Feng said with great pride, "For me, money is not a problem."
Now Lin Feng is not short of money, so Lin Feng will absolutely not spare any cost in investing in the 'Dream City'. Lin Feng wants to build this place into a holy place, a movie holy place, a movie holy place beyond Hollywood. Of course, if you want to know why Lin Feng did not build it in China, it is because of the economic status and international status of the United States, as well as its transportation, environment and other factors.
Lin Feng invested so much, not just for investment, but also to build a miracle at the cost of money. Lin Feng wanted to make money. The same thing, one built in the United States and one built in China, will bring completely different benefits. Therefore, Lin Feng chose Los Angeles, the United States, for the "Dream City".
Of course, another reason is that it is adjacent to Hollywood. Since being humiliated by the Oscars, Lin Feng has vowed to bring down Hollywood. And this "Dream City", a "Dream City" that allows major crews and major film companies to shoot movies at the lowest cost, is the biggest weapon to defeat Hollywood.
Of course, the large number of Hollywood grassroots personnel signed by Lin Feng is also the key. However, due to the amendment of the US labor law and commercial law, Lin Feng has lost the right to use these grassroots personnel to threaten those film companies. As early as last year, when he threatened those film companies and conspired to bring down Sony Pictures, the US Department of Commerce and the Department of Justice revised the law to prohibit such things from happening again. Otherwise, if Lin Feng continues to do this, I'm afraid there will be only one company left in the United States, that is Lin Feng's 'Second Pictures Co., Ltd.' Therefore, the U.S. Department of Justice and the Department of Commerce asked Congress to forcibly amend the law to prohibit this from happening again.
Although controlling the bottom personnel of Hollywood can no longer threaten many film companies, as long as this film base is successfully built, the effect will be the same. No film company is unwilling to reduce costs and make good movies. Therefore, as long as this 'Dream City' is built, it will inevitably become a movie mecca. A movie mecca that can rival Hollywood, no, it can surpass Hollywood.
"Boss, then I won't be polite." Tom Wright's eyes sparkled. Since Lin Feng patted his chest and admitted it, he won't be polite. 100,000, this is not enough. He wants to recruit another 200,000 people and gather 250,000 people here to start working at the same time.
250,000 people opened their mouths at the same venue. Tom Wright can guarantee that this is definitely the largest project in the world since the feudal era. But think about it, he is not building a building, but a city. A city with a very different style, super avant-garde, super modern, and super ancient. And this city will be built by him!
Lin Feng laughed.
You're welcome, you can take a look. I don't care!
At this moment, the entire American media is frantically reporting the miracle of the 'Dream City'. They can't see the scene of "Resident Evil", but they can see the spaceship. It took seven days to build a spaceship. How domineering and crazy it is. Many media took aerial photos through helicopters, and even at high altitudes, they could see this super huge luxury spaceship from a distance. It's like a science fiction movie, too shocking.
If they didn't know that the construction here started every day and that many media witnessed the miracle of seven days of construction, these reporters would definitely think that this spaceship really came from outer space and fell from the sky.
Miracle! A miracle made in China! ——Everyone cheered.
Compared to the madness of the media reporters, many Hollywood film companies looked bitter. Of course, the really bitter ones are the big-name film companies. That is, six film companies, Fox Film, Universal, Paramount, Warner, Disney, and Samsung Columbia.
These six companies, at this moment, gathered together for another meeting, and everyone looked miserable.
"Everyone, see, a miracle, a miracle is really born. If this goes on, the 'Dream City' built by Lin Feng at a huge cost will definitely surpass Hollywood. At that time, I'm afraid we will all have to look at his face." The president of Universal said with a headache.
Once this 'Dream City' is built, it will become a must-see place for many film companies to shoot, and in this case, these giants will definitely look at Lin Feng's face when they go to shoot. Otherwise, if Lin Feng doesn't let you shoot, you won't have a place to cry. But if you say, don't shoot, then fine, you can find a place yourself. Spending more money and not getting better results, isn't this nonsense? And the ups and downs of film companies are actually very fast. If you invest in a few blockbusters and lose money, your liquidity will basically be gone. You will have to borrow money to shoot, and if the box office is not good, you will have no money to shoot. At that time, you will fall into a vicious circle.
At the same time, other film companies will use the hardware facilities of this "Dream City" to make good enough movies. In that case, the gains and losses will be greater than the losses. Therefore, the six film companies are facing an extremely severe reality.
They must come up with a way to solve the increasingly severe dilemma in front of them.
"We must unite to fight Lin Feng. At least we can't let Lin Feng strangle us by the throat and manipulate us in the future." The president of Paramount Pictures clenched his fist and said.
"But how can we deal with Lin Feng? His hardware facilities are here, what can we do?" said the president of Disney.
"Yes, Lin Feng spent tens of billions of dollars to build this "Dream City". What can we do? Unless we also build a city like this." Samsung Columbia President Li Fuzhen said helplessly.
Build a city like this? Is that possible?
Several major American film company giants shook their heads. Although it is known that this will definitely make money in the long run. But who has so much cash to invest? No! No one has so much money to invest. This is not one or two dollars, but a huge investment of tens of billions of dollars. And it is something that cannot get enough returns in the short term. No one will do it.
"I think we should unite. Otherwise, Hollywood will be ruled by Lin Feng from now on." Li Fuzhen proposed.
"Yes, we must unite, we must form an offensive and defensive alliance to ensure that our legitimate interests will not be infringed. We must unite many large and small film companies to boycott Lin Feng." Disney President said loudly.
Many presidents nodded in agreement. No matter what, they must not let Lin Feng control them in his palm and let Lin Feng have the final say in everything. This is absolutely unacceptable to them.
Then, the six major film companies came forward and contacted thousands of Hollywood film companies, and sat together to hold a very serious and important "round table meeting". At this 8-hour round table meeting, a total of 1,072 film companies, with the alliance headed by the six major film companies, were established again. This is the second alliance since the last one failed to boycott Lin Feng. This time they vowed to make Lin Feng bow down and ensure their legitimate interests. (To be continued)
