413【Spielberg】

When Ye Jin saw this friend of Lucas, his eyes lit up.

Because his friend is really famous. The world-renowned "Jaws", which was sold globally two years ago, was directed and filmed by him.

That's right, Lucas's friend is the famous Stephen Spielberg.

As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, and geniuses always like to be with geniuses, so that they can have common topics.

George Lucas and Stephen Spielberg are alumni of the University of Southern California. They have unlimited enthusiasm for the film industry, and are both talented and creative genius filmmakers, so they quickly got together.

In career, the two support each other.

George Lucas was involved in the shooting when Stephen Spielberg filmed "Jaws", and Stephen Spielberg also gave his opinions when George Lucas filmed "American Style Painting".

Their two mutual friends, Francis Coppola, who is internationally famous for his reputation as a guarantee to help George Lucas solve the investment in "American Style Painting". Therefore, they can be regarded as a rare [Good Brothers Group] in Hollywood.

"Ye, let me introduce you to me. This is my good friend Stephen Spielberg." George Lucas introduced Ye Jin.

"Mr. Spielberg, I have long been famous!" Ye Jin walked forward with a smile. He had been famous for Spielberg for a long time.

Stephen Spielberg is a well-known all-round director in Hollywood. He is competent in art and commercial films, and he is very good at filming.

Ye Jin has watched the series "Raiders of the Lost Ark" directed by him, "et", "Jurassic Park", "Schindler's List", "Saving Private Ryan", "Cat and Mouse Game", "Happy Terminal", "Adventures of Tintin", "Player No. 1, etc., and all of them are well-known and popular classic works.

A filmmaker can have such an excellent movie in his life, which is enough to comfort his life. Spielberg has almost never made any mistakes since he started filming, and every work is above the standard.

His outstanding and stable performance fully demonstrates his talent. Compared to Ye Jin cheating with [Golden Finger], this person is the real master and deserves respect.

"Hello, Mr. Ye." Spielberg smiled and held Ye Jin's hand and said, "I have admired you for a long time."

"Is that so, then I'm so honored." Ye Jin was stunned, then smiled, "Come on, please sit down!"

...

"Mr. Ye, Stephen saw the movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark" you wrote, and he thought it was very well written." George Lucas said with a smile.

"Is that so, thank you." Ye Jin nodded with a smile.

"Mr. Ye, your "Raiders of the Lost Ark" is really great." Spielberg smiled. "I have always wanted to make an adventure movie like 007, and I hope you can allow me to join the filming of this movie."

"You want to direct this movie?" Ye Jin's eyes lit up when he heard this.

It was amazing to have this great director directing this movie.

"No," Spielberg nodded.

In addition to his desire to make an adventure film like 007, another purpose is to help George Lucas, who is now trapped in the quagmire.

He has watched the original film of "Star Wars" and thought it was very good. The reason why those film companies are not optimistic about it is mainly because their ideas are too old.

Now, the staff working in the six major Hollywood giants and have certain positions are almost all middle-aged people over the age of 35.

Their ability to accept new things has decreased significantly, and their style has become more conservative, without seeking merit but without making mistakes. Therefore, under their management, Hollywood has a rigid system, outdated concepts and increasingly depressed. This is also the reason why major Hollywood film companies have not lived a good life in recent years.

However, although Spielberg hates the giants of Hollywood, he also knows that they are rich and powerful, and it is difficult to compete with them by relying solely on personal strength. Therefore, if you want to change the rules of Hollywood's game, you must first abide by the rules of the game, participate in the game, achieve results, and then gradually guide it to change.

Now George Lucas has been cheated by Hollywood rules. His new film "Star Wars" is not recognized and has been hidden, which has also turned him from a hot commodity to a stinky tofu.

The only way to solve his dilemma is to give him a big hit. In this way, he can prove his value and turn it over. Therefore, Spielberg decided to participate in the production of "Raiders of the Lost Ark".

"Then of course I welcome it." Ye Jin smiled, "But what should George do?"

"I can be a producer," George Lucas said actively. "Star Wars's film cost has risen from 8 million US dollars to 18 million US dollars, which is my fault. So I decided to make a good budget for the new film and must save as much money as possible while ensuring quality."

"That's fine." Ye Jin nodded.

This movie was originally directed by Stephen Spielberg. If he could join this version, it would be great.

With his script, Spielberg's directorial skills and George Lucas' production skills, it's hard not to sell this "Raiders of the Lost Ark" without being sold.

Not to mention, the movie "Jaws" set a box office record in film history and made Spielberg the hottest director at the moment. Having him joins it will also help the movie box office.

To be honest, if he asked Spielberg to direct it, it wouldn't be worthy of face. But now, Spielberg, who is to George Lucas, takes the initiative to participate in the production, this is simply a fat pig arch, and he has come to wealth!

"Okay, then I welcome Mr. Spielberg to join this movie. I hope we can have a happy cooperation." Ye Jin said with a smile.

"Happy cooperation." Stephen Spielberg also said with a smile.

...

With Stephen Spielberg's joining, preparations for "Raiders of the Lost Ark" have been smoother.

The male protagonist chose Harrison Ford. Because "Star Wars" was hidden, Harrison Ford not only failed to become a big star, but also became known as "Unlucky" because of a movie.

The Americans are also very superstitious. Harrison Ford, who has this name, is willing to ask him to film and play the leading role, so he has to thank God for his blessing.

Therefore, he didn't dare to ask for much money at all, and he was still a pitiful 100,000 US dollars. In comparison, when he starred in "Raiders of the Lost Ark", he had already become a big star with "Star Wars: New Hope" and "Star Wars: Empire Strikes Counter" in his previous life, and his salary was as high as 2 million US dollars.

Therefore, this time, his salary alone can save a lot of money.
