The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 98: Meet Spielberg

   "Hello, DreamWorks Office? This is the editorial department of "Today Morning Post", we hope to..."

   "Hello, Mr. Lawrence? This is the editorial department of "Entertainment Weekly". We treat your company..."

   "Hello, is Alice-Ms. Wang the director of your company? Can she accept us..."

   From early morning to sunset, for many days, there are countless calls of this type. Lawrence just hung up this type of call and sighed helplessly while sitting in the office.

   "Sigh, I think this is actually a good thing."

The man sitting on the sofa has a bushy face and a book with a green cover in his hands. It is the famous Hollywood director Steven Spielberg who has directed such masterpieces as "Jaws" and "ET". .

"The entertainment industry is a place where fame eats. Since that Alice is now a director, it is of course a good thing to become famous. Like her current fame, but how many new directors dream of it, it’s not everyone. What can be achieved."

As a close friend of the well-known director, Lawrence didn't need to hide his feelings at all, and sighed with great helplessness: "The problem is, I really regret signing the contract with her now. Why did I have no investment at that time? What? From the release to the present, the five-month long period not to mention, the box office itself has reached 215 million. God, this is 200 million U.S. dollars! And except for the fraction of promotional expenses, it is actually nothing. Can't get it!"

  Looking at Lawrence's bitter face, from the bottom of my heart, Spielberg did want to laugh at him. After all, the veteran Wall Street venture capitalist in front of him has always had an amazing record. If he can suffer such a big loss, no one will inevitably have the idea of ​​gloating.

"Ahem, Roger, let's talk about your next step. Alice can now be said to be the pillar of your company, although this movie...I can't say whether it depends on publicity or quality. Such a high box office, but she is now famous here, and she won’t lose money in the second film she made."

   Lawrence did not speak immediately, but looked out the window.

   "Look, there is a figure on that window!"

   On the corner of the street outside the building, a reporter shouted: "This is the fifth time today. It must be the general manager's office there. Keep an eye on it and see if Alice-Wang will show up!"

   At the same time by my side, without saying anything, first waste a film before making other conclusions.

   "Five, six... eight."

Lawrence was in the office building, looking down at the street outside the window: "Eight reporters stayed outside 24 hours a day in shifts, not just to find Alice, now the entire DreamWorks is within their coverage. Tsk...this I like fame."

   I was really helpless and happy. For five months, although Alice had gone to China as early as the end of December, Lawrence had witnessed the changes brought to the company by this movie. Just like today, Spielberg came for nothing else, just to see the scripts submitted by screenwriters across the country.

DreamWorks, before the release of "Ghost Record", was nothing more than a new company with a registered capital of more than one million yuan. Not to mention that there could be 100 companies of this size in Hollywood at any time, a dozen of them could still be pooled in half a year. from. If it weren't for the release of this movie, how could it be possible to receive a script from a small file cabinet within a month?

   "Well, this "Death of a Middle-Class Man" seems a bit interesting..."

   Spielberg flipped through the manuscript, and one of the opening words read as follows: "My name is Lester Banning, and I will die in one year, but I don't know yet..."

   This script seems very interesting, however, just as Spielberg was about to read on, the office door was suddenly opened.

   "Hey, Uncle Roger, I'm coming... this one is?"

  The person here is Alice. Today is Saturday morning. She is free to wear a neat denim and shirt dress, and wears a white baseball cap. She looks hearty, charming and energetic.

   Seeing the girl's surprised look, Lawrence laughed and said, "Come on, Steven, let me introduce you, this is Alice. Alice, this is..."

   "Steven Spielberg, it's an honor to meet you. I can say that I am a fan of you."

   Alice stretched out her hand to Spielberg in surprise: "So you know Uncle Roger, I really didn't expect to see you here."

Spielberg also shook hands with her in surprise, and nodded and said: "I already knew your name, Alice, when we met today, you really are an extraordinary girl. This temperament is not the same. Anyone can have it."

Alice hummed, and the tone dropped suddenly: "Don't be kidding... this kind of entertainment circle is really unbearable. Just look at the group of paparazzi outside, Uncle Roger, you know me How did you get into the company?"

Lawrence was still about to ask this question, he looked out the window and said: "What about the eight paparazzi outside, you should have noticed that they turned over from the back of the building? No, you have to go through the front door, right? ?"

   "It's all right if you turn the window."

   Spielberg laughed, and took the topical dominance back to his own hands: "Alice, look at what book I am holding?"

Alice has naturally seen the book in his hand. The green and black cover is exactly what the latest version of her previous life looks like. She smiled: "Jurassic Park, Mr. Spielberg intends to Make it a movie?"

Spielberg's eyes opened wider: "Yes, I also talked to Roger about this issue just now, but he told me that unless the director can use computer technology to draw the dinosaur directly, otherwise you would never Authorized, is there such a thing?"

The rightful original film director in front of me, Alice was not surprised to see that the other party was interested in this book, so she cautiously replied: "Dinosaurs are large creatures. Like "Alien", they rely on actors to wear a skin. It’s not okay to play it, but if it is directly replaced by a robot, let’s not talk about the cost issue, it’s still too delicate. But computer graphics is different. Now it is a period of great development in the IT industry. Lucas’ Industrial Light and Magic is even more important. With his "Star Wars" as an example, you can only use that kind of technique to make a good product, don't you think?"

Spielberg didn't expect so much. At this time, his brows were slightly frowned, and after a little thought, he said: "Indeed, Star Wars impressed me very much, especially the way the laser sword and laser gun fired. If you can use it. That kind of technology to make dinosaurs is indeed better than skinned machinery..."

"The key is the skin undulation and texture changes when the animal breathes. This is an effect that the skinning machine can't achieve. The audience now is not the one who watched "King Kong" in the 1930s. If the director is so foolish, this It’s all about the plot itself if the movie doesn’t lose money~"

Lawrence sat behind his desk and he happily said, "It's so good to see the plot itself. By the way, Alice, now your "Ghost Record" has alarmed the entertainment industry around the world. Are you interested in participating in the interview? Uncle will definitely arrange it for you."

Alice glanced at the newspaper on the table, both of which belong to Murdoch’s industry. This is all Australian paper media. The entertainment headline is carrying the news of the local release of "Ghost Records": "Forget it, it's not just a director." Well, I’m not an actress who wants other directors’ unspoken rules based on exposure, so I can’t make trouble."

As soon as this was said, Lawrence laughed loudly, while Spielberg looked at Alice with a gloomy expression, not crying or laughing: "I said girl, are you really only thirteen years old? Even though I wanted to ask this question a long time ago. ……In addition~www.novelmtl.com~ You seem to have scolded me too, right?"

Of course, Alice knew that she had driven a huge map cannon, she smiled, and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, this movie really made me a billionaire in one fell swoop, although I have to give a lot of points to the theater. Luo. Uncle Jie, are you still interested in making another movie while this is happening? I believe that with the strength of director Spielberg, there must be no doubt about the box office revenue, right?"

Lawrence nodded vigorously and said: "Indeed, the performance of "Indiana Jones 2" released in May was very good, and the scripts of both songs were written by George Lucas himself. I said Steve, you should not have any more. Are you planning to shoot the third part?"

Spielberg laughed and waved his hand: "It is enough to shoot two films in one breath. If you focus on the show in a short time, the audience will be aesthetically tired, and I will also be tired. So... Alice, since You can write a book so well, why don't you have another script?"

   Seeing the two gazes full of expectation, Alice rubbed her temples with a headache.

  Movies can indeed make money quickly. The 1980s is indeed a gap in classic movies, but many of the movie actors that I like will only grow up in the 1990s and after the new millennium. It would be really difficult to ask her to throw another one now.

   "Don't be in a hurry, haha, don't be in a hurry, you just think about it slowly."

   Seeing Alice rubbing her temples, Lawrence took it for granted that the girl was under pressure, and quickly said: "After all, you are only a middle school student, and class is the main job on weekdays. Don't worry about this kind of thing!"

  So, Alice hummed a smile~www.novelmtl.com~ Welcome readers to read, the latest, fastest and hottest serial works are all at ~www.novelmtl.com~ mobile phone users, please go to read.
