Reborn in America, I'm serious about making money.

In North America, there are many people named Stephen. There are two in the fruit company alone. In the film industry, there is a top director with the same name. Today, he has come to Hong Kong from North America.

His film "The List," released last year, grossed $3.3 million worldwide by the time it finished its run, a result of a collaboration between Universal and Anlin.

Speaking of this, director Stephen A. Smith has a very good relationship with Universal. He helped Universal obtain the rights to the movie "Dinosaur," so the movie will be a collaboration between the two companies.

The filming was originally scheduled to begin earlier, but it was postponed because he was filming "The List." Meanwhile, Universal Pictures' Dinosaur Park on Lantau Island in Hong Kong is nearing completion.

Given the circumstances on both sides, filming could only begin in March 1993.

When the crew members and support staff from the Hong Kong branch arrived, they initially thought it was a construction site. However, upon arrival, they discovered that the initial construction had already been completed.

"Wow, when did you start building this? It's comparable to the movie studios in North America."

Director Stephen exclaimed in admiration upon seeing the film studio in Hong Kong; Manager Chen of the Hong Kong branch, standing nearby, smiled and explained, "It's been over a year. This area used to be mountainous, and a lot of the mountains have been leveled."

"What's that big ship for?"

Manager Chen began to explain, "That's related to the facilities for the next movie, 'The Big Ship.' It will be a hotel that's a 1:1 replica of 'The Big Ship,' and it will include... it will become..."

"Is it finished there?"

"Director Stephen, you can go up and take a look. It's mostly finished, and we're just working on the details now."

Originally, we were going to take them to their lodgings, but now we need to go see that big ship first. That big ship is so conspicuous; it's simply the most eye-catching thing here.

Led by Manager Chen, they climbed the ladder onto the once-renowned unsinkable ship, the Taitan. Seeing the extensive renovations and the large number of workers still working on it, they knew that the investment here must have been enormous.

The luxurious interior impressed the cast and crew of "Dinosaurs," with its opulent details and exquisite craftsmanship that transported viewers back to that glorious era.

The Grand Ship Hotel's lobby is spacious and magnificent, with dazzling crystal chandeliers hanging from the ceiling, illuminating the entire space. Luxurious carpets with intricate patterns and a soft, luxurious feel cover the floor. The surrounding walls are adorned with exquisite carvings and murals, showcasing artistic charm.

The cabins are equally luxurious, with beds upholstered in soft silk bedding and furniture made of fine wood, inlaid with gold trim. Each room is decorated with gorgeous curtains and wallpaper, in vibrant yet harmonious colors.

Furthermore, the restaurant is another highlight of the decor. Exquisite porcelain and silverware are displayed, and candlelight flickers on the tables, creating a romantic and elegant atmosphere. The luxurious staircase, with its intricately carved railings and handrails inlaid with artificial gemstones, makes one feel as if they are in a palace.

Although the details are not yet complete, they are already astonishing.

Manager Chen said with some pride, "Director, this is a 1:1 replica of the original blueprints. All the decorations are custom-made. This ship cost hundreds of millions of dollars."

"We also have an underwater restaurant here, please come with me."

Manager Chen led them to the underwater restaurant at the bottom, which shocked them even more, as if they were in an underwater world.

The underwater restaurant transports these North American guests to a magical and enchanting underwater world. The spacious and bright restaurant is surrounded by enormous transparent glass walls, through which guests can see colorful corals, leisurely swimming schools of fish, and mysterious underwater landscapes.

The restaurant's interior decoration usually echoes the ocean theme, with specially designed lighting on the ceiling to create a dreamlike feeling as if you are underwater, giving people a tranquil and romantic atmosphere.

Diners feel as if they are in an underwater palace when they dine in this environment.

The menu often features seafood, with fresh lobsters, crabs, shellfish, and various types of fish becoming gourmet delicacies.

Manager Chen explained, "In the underwater restaurant, you can not only enjoy delicious food, but also admire the surrounding marine life, which will bring you a visual feast."

"This place is amazing! When are you ready to open?"

Manager Chen said, "We are preparing to start filming immediately. It may not be open to the public until the movie is released next summer. We are ventilating the area now, otherwise it will not be suitable for people to live here."

Stephen nodded. "Dinosaur" will be released at Christmas, so that will avoid the same release date.

Manager Chen continued, "We've arranged villas next door for everyone; those are part of the film studio's facilities, a resort." Director Stephen was very satisfied with their arrangements, and the other members were also pleased with the treatment.

The visit took two hours. After leaving the Grand Ship Hotel, they got into a car and started driving towards the villa complex on the nearby mountain. These villas were hidden in the forest and were very comfortable.

"Wow, this place is amazing."

"Director Stephen, crew members, we have also provided you with a dedicated chef and cleaning staff to ensure a comfortable living environment."

Director Stephen exclaimed, "The service you provided was extremely satisfactory."

Manager Chen said, "If you want to visit downtown Hong Kong, please tell our staff. They will take you there, but you must come back at night."

Everyone accepted Manager Chen's words and the other party's arrangements.

The next morning, the crew inspected the replica dinosaur park. They felt that the park itself was very similar to the original park, and that all the plants inside were prepared for the movie.

Zhang San had seen movies like Dinosaur Park, so he could naturally recreate them; including those laboratories, those small houses, and the warehouses hidden among the trees.

"You are very well prepared, that's fantastic."

At noon, a press conference was held to mark the start of filming. Many reporters and media outlets attended. Director Stephen's new film naturally attracted a great deal of attention.

They also introduced the dinosaur park.

Zhang San, who was in Shanghai, also received a call from Manager Chen, who reported that the filming had started very smoothly and that the props had been brought out after the reporters left.

"The boss and crew members were terrified by the realistic dinosaurs there, thinking we had actually brought those ancient creatures to life."
