After talking about the script, Lucas talked about "Raiders of the Lost Ark" again.

In order to save money on this film, he also took great pains to do a lot of preliminary preparations.

For example, inviting comic artist Jim Strank to set the image and scene for "Raiders of the Lost Ark". In this way, props, stylists, and artists all know how to make props, design styling for actors, and set sets for movies, saving a lot of time.

For example, draw all the storyboards with Spielberg in advance. In this way, every scene and every shot is clear. In this way, when shooting, you already have a draft in your mind, which can not only ensure the quality of the shooting, but also speed up the shooting progress.

Time is money! Saving time and speeding up progress will undoubtedly save a lot of money.

It’s like when "Star Wars" was filmed in Tunisia, the crew’s filming progress was greatly lagging behind due to the once-in-a-fifty-year storm. Ye Jin paid a price of millions of dollars.

"Very good, George, you're intent." Ye Jin nodded with a smile, "You can shoot this movie carefully, I'll give it to you all. I won't give you pressure or comments, everything is up to you."

"Yes, thank you Mr. Ye." Lucas nodded, thanking Ye Jin for his trust and support.

"Mr. Ye, it would be great if the Hollywood funders were as gentlemen as you." Spielberg couldn't help but sigh.

A funder like Ye Jin who is willing to invest but does not interfere with the director's work is really hard to find. But for a director, it is too difficult to be able to avoid interference and film the film he wants to make.

Even if he has a successful work like "Jaws", he has long proved his talent and strength. But if he wants to fully control the filming of the movie, he is still unable to catch up.

Therefore, he really envied George Lucas for being able to get the support of Ye Jin, the financial supporter. He was envious of him and almost had to find a way to pry the corner from Lucas.

...

After learning that the preparations for "Raiders of the Lottery Ark" were going well, Ye Jin returned home happily.

Then, he began to prepare for the filming of "Dragon Hard Boy 2".

Mai Jiashang, Shi Jian, Michelle Pfeiffer, these old teams will naturally return. In addition, Master Zhong Hefeng needs to screen them carefully.

After receiving Ye Jin's invitation, Mai Jiashang soon came to his dream manor.

"Mr. Ye, your mansion can be called a mansion. In comparison, those mansions in Xiangjiang have become thatched huts in the countryside." He smiled as he looked at Ye Jin's house.

Because every inch of land is valuable, even the mansions of wealthy people are generally small, with a maximum of one or two thousand square meters.

Ye Jin's Warner Manor covers an area of ​​six acres and 24,000 square meters, which is equivalent to the area of ​​nearly four football fields. The villas, gardens, swimming pools, and courts... are decorated both luxuriously and comfortable, just like the palace of the European royal family, showing their wealth.

"Don't envy me. If you make two more movies, you can buy a house here." Ye Jin said to Mai Jiashang with a smile.

Because he filmed two big-selling works of "Dragon Hard Boy" and "Rocky", Mai Jiashang is now famous in Hollywood.

However, he has two major shortcomings. One is that he is Chinese and is more excluded and discriminated against in Hollywood.

If a white director achieved such a result, he would have been praised by the media early on, and the industry rushed to invite filming, and the pay rose again and again, exceeding 500,000 US dollars.

Another disadvantage is that he is not a creative director, unlike George Lucas, Steven Spielberg, etc., who can write scripts and shoot them by himself.

He needs to rely on a good screenwriter to exert his strength. A good screenwriter is rare in Hollywood.

In Hollywood, there are as many as six digits of registered screenwriters, and as many as 100,000 scripts registered with the Screenwriters Association every year. But only five percent of the scripts can be truly made into movies every year. Among them, half of them cannot make money.

Therefore, the probability of a director who encounters a dead mouse and encounters a reliable script is 2.5% in 1000. This probability can be said to be quite small.

If you don’t have a certain vision and can effectively distinguish a good script and a bad script, the probability of hitting a bad script is almost 100%.

Mai Jiashang has hit the board twice in the past two years. He has taken on two movies, but the box office is not very good, which has affected his overall reputation.

But no matter what, he still has two successful works, so overall it is still very good. Currently, his salary is $200,000, and he can make a home in Beverly Hills as long as he shoots two or three movies.

"Yes, it's all thanks to your support from Mr. Ye." Mai Jiashang smiled. He has always been grateful to Ye Jin for bringing him to Hollywood to develop. Otherwise, he would not have the glory he has today.

You know, not to mention the directors in Hong Kong, even the 200,000 Hong Kong dollar pay, not every director can get the 200,000 Hong Kong dollar pay.

...

"Okay, let's not talk about this. You can read the script first, and then let's discuss it." Ye Jin smiled.

Although he is happy to be kind, he also hopes to see these people be grateful to him. However, he also knows that it is a failure to express loyalty and gratitude.

Loyalty and gratitude are not what you say, but what you do. Just like Corleon in "The Godfather", he likes to win people's hearts and likes people to call him Godfather. And when he needs it, he uses these favors to help him do things.

"Okay." Mai Jiashang nodded, took the script, and started to read it seriously.

At this time, the housekeeper James stepped forward and asked Mai Jiashang what he wanted to drink.

After Mai Jiashang ordered the coffee, a cup of fragrant Italian charcoal-roasted coffee was soon delivered to him by the maid.

"Mr. Ye, your life is so nourishing." Mai Jiashang took a sip of coffee and felt it was so fragrant and smooth, with a fragrant mouth and endless aftertaste. It was the best coffee he had ever drunk.

If I lived in such a beautiful big house every day, with a close butler and servant serving him, I would really not want to change it to the emperor.

"If you want to be as moist as me, I will give you a clear path." Ye Jin smiled, "You buy all the money you earn. In a few years, after the stock appreciates, you will be able to live such a life."

In 1976, Intel's market value was only $1.5 billion. However, in the future, its market value may reach $300 billion, up about two hundred times.

Mai Jiashang now invests 500,000 US dollars, and then he will be able to make 100 million US dollars. 100 million US dollars is enough for him to live a very rich life in Amerika.
