Chapter 609

Since the establishment of the 501 corps, founder Albin and his friends have been trying to carry out external publicity and communication. The 501 Corps has expanded its influence in different rhythms and ways in all corners of the world. One important part is to cooperate with the stars in the Star Wars world: including the actors and workers of the Star Wars films, as well as the writers and artists who have been making constant efforts to keep Star Wars hot during the long time between the main story and the prequel trilogy.

In the more than 20 years since the release of the film, these stars have actively participated in various Star Wars activities and maintained a wonderful contact with Star Wars fans. During this period, Albin has had various interactions with these stars, and the opportunity for the 501 corps to enter the Star Wars world has emerged.

In 1999, Albin was writing more background stories for the Legion and set it as a private guard of Darth Vader. One day, he had a whim and solemnly wrote a letter to the agent of Dave blaus, the actor of Darth Vader, introducing to him what kind of organization team 501 is and setting team 501 as Vader's subordinate, A complete background story is established for it.

In the letter, Albin made a direct request: "if Mr. blaus is willing to become the honorary leader of team 501, we will be honored as' Vader's fist '."

Later, in retrospect, it was really presumptuous. Albin felt that a big man like Vader would receive tons of emails from Star Wars fans every day. Unexpectedly, he soon received a reply from his agent, saying that Dave was very excited that the 501 Legion could invite him as the leader, and looked forward to the Legion's great development in the future.

In the later activities, Dave blaus, who played Vader, also participated in the activities organized by them, which is of course related to the official promotion.

Inspired, Albin began a somewhat bold plan in 2002. He hoped that the 501 Legion could do what other fan clubs could not do, organize the imperial soldiers and establish cooperative relations with these legends. The Legion will welcome Star Wars stars to join the Legion as honorary members. When they come to the location of the Legion branch, they will be supported by the Legion members. The 501 Legion can wear props and clothes to accompany them in signature activities, take them to eat and drink, and pick them up at the airport. The Legion members will be very professional and do not pay back.

Of course, there are always a lot of difficulties. This is indeed an arduous task. What is the identity of the Legion to do these things? How to invite these stars and approve them to join? What does the Legion give them as proof of membership? How to give it to them? Who pays the relevant expenses?

Albin's response to this is to do it first! Later that year, the animation show in highpoint, North Carolina, will invite three famous star wars Writers: Alan Alston, Michael stackpol and Timothy chann. This is a great time to implement new ideas.

Just do it. Albin began to look for souvenirs suitable for honorary members. One day, Albin wandered to a trophy shop in a broken building in central Colombia. The shop was dark and full of mildew and ancient antiques. An old man who felt sick took him to the back of the store and showed him a gorgeous Memorial board. "It's hard for you to find these things now," said the shopkeeper. "Giving these things to others can make your mind more weighty." there is an oval groove with black background at the upper end of each Commemorative Plate. Albin takes out the embroidered badge of the 501 Legion and puts it in it, which is completely appropriate in size. So he took out the only credit card that hadn't been maxed out, "all of it!"

With the opening of the exhibition approaching, Albin came to the hotel and met the newly appointed commander of the Carolina Garrison and a group of local Legion members who were busy about it. Everything was arranged in an orderly manner. Finally, seven storm soldiers and three scouts lined up to issue commemorative medals. The three writers expressed their sincere thanks to the Legion and accepted the invitation. They carefully held the commemorative plaque given by the Legion, asked the details of the 501 legion, and praised the props and clothes.

The whole ceremony seemed to be very successful. Albin could report to the whole Legion that three star wars heavyweights became friends and partners of the 501 Legion and a successful example for future activities, but the significance of this activity was far more than that. On that night, the most important moment in the history of the Legion suddenly came.

After a whole day of the exhibition, the Legion members gathered in the lobby to have a rest and chat. At this time, Timothy chann appeared. The world-famous Star Wars writer walked to the big table where everyone was, and saw the Legion's props, clothes and photos, as well as the 7-page introduction of the 501 Legion in the latest "people in the Star Wars circle". "Tell me more about the 501st corps," Timothy said, sounding just curious. The other soldiers looked at Albin, and he began to tell the story of the fan club.

From the details of the club concept to the potential to gather fans, and the background story of the most important and coolest Vader fist.

In the following year, the project of honorary members was still ongoing and expanded, and many stories happened. A year later, in another diffuse exhibition, Albin met Timothy. He told Albin a message: in his upcoming Star Wars works, the 501 Legion will appear as a role.

On February 3, 2004, the test of the survivor was released, which described the storm soldiers of the 501 corps, the "Vader fist", and then another electronic novel, the fool's agreement, more related to 501. This fledgling fan club was awarded the highest honor and mentioned by the official written works, Timothy also wrote about the deeds of the 501 Legion engaged in some charity activities in the role of Star Wars.

In 2005, the 501st Legion officially appeared in the film Revenge of the Sith. They followed Anakin Skywalker who fell into the dark side of the force into the Jedi Temple to clean the Jedi warriors, the guardian of the Republic.

From fan groups to official roles, the 501 Corps has entered the world of star wars in this way. Star Wars does not end after being released like other films, but has always had strong vitality. This stems from the love of star wars, and the feedback from this love also makes the feelings deeper.

Today, the 501 Legion officially followed their leader to pay tribute to the great star wars father Lucie Lucas, and the supreme leader of the Legion was actually played by King Mark, the tycoon who has taken over the Star Wars world and one of the Star Wars fans, which made all Star Wars fans proud and excited. The world belongs to us and let our friends have fun.

Today's event, 500 Imperial stormtroopers and aircraft were dispatched. In fact, it is a large-scale media public relations show. Now there are hundreds of journalists who also broadcast live on YouTube. It is not so big to promote the Star Wars brand. The annual peripheral licensing of this brand can bring hundreds of millions of dollars to Lucas film, It makes countless film companies envy and hate! If there is a film, it is even more wonderful.

Mm spent so much money to win Lucas film, with cash alone reaching 2 billion, and the rest is stocks. Of course, mm has to make several Star Wars films to make up for this part of the loss.

Mm layout has acquired Lucas for a long time. It has owned 10% of the shares of industrial light and magic for a long time. It has been bought in succession over the years, holding about 15%. If you are patient, you are willing to wait a few more years. In 2012, like the original Disney's acquisition of Lucas, the price may be preferential. Lucas is old and frail, unable to work hard, and may not use the original shares, Just pay cash directly.

However, this industrial light and magic is really important. Without controlling a world-class special effects company, they dare not build any transformer universe and Marvel Universe, because it is easy to get people stuck and others get stuck at the source, which makes a big joke. Therefore, only by controlling Lucas film can they dare to follow up with others.

Mark also has his grapevine news. This Disney's cassenberg is also a man with strong eyes. He also sees the value of Lucas film. In Disney, which lacks Pixar and marvel, he is more eager to get Lucas film than the original version. They have set up a group to specialize in the acquisition of Lucas film. Mark and others decided not to hesitate and speed up their efforts.

Now it's the first step to bring Lucas pictures under his banner. Mark can imagine how stunned Disney was when they jointly announced the M & a agreement? How angry the bald cassenberg is.

In Lucas film, there is the meaning of preparing for a new Star Wars Trilogy, but because the Star Wars prequel trilogy has bad beer, it has been scolded by Star Wars fans, so they have always had doubts. Lucas said that he will consider the Star Wars prequel only when he obtains the perfect story.

On his personal homepage, he also reiterated this matter again and again. To put it bluntly, he wanted to please these fans. Lucas knows that Lucas film has the truth of becoming and losing fans. On this issue, he has always crossed the river with eggs and is cautious.

In an online voting campaign he secretly led, he was undoubtedly the best director of new star wars. First, mark. Second, iron man and the Dark Knight fully demonstrated Mark's imagination and control ability. They are more reliable roles in the eyes of Star Wars fans. When Lucas expressed his weakness, mark became the best choice, They want mark to take over the galaxy and become the new galactic tyrant.
