Seeing the other party's confusion, Liu Lang breathed a sigh of relief.
This movie is one of Spielberg's masterpieces and ranks among the top ten in the history of world movies. It is not only the box office, but also the movie's torture of that dark history and its depiction of the glory of human nature.
In Liu Lang's previous life, this movie was shot by Spielberg in 1993. The total box office reached 370 million U.S. dollars. It was also nominated for twelve Oscars and finally won the Best Picture.
Seven awards including Best Director and Best Screenplay have become the most dazzling crown in the world's film palace.
Liu Lang liked this movie very much in his previous life. He had watched it several times and remembered every plot clearly. In addition, he also knew that the movie was derived from an Australian novel of the same name, but this novel was not very famous.
Spielberg doesn't know the name now, and obviously he doesn't have the relevant script yet, which is easy.
Liu Lang began to tell the story to the other party.
When he heard that it was about the Jews in Germany during World War II, Spielberg immediately became solemn because he was a Jew himself and was very familiar with that period of history.
Liu Lang only spoke briefly for more than ten minutes, explaining the general plot clearly, and Spielberg immediately became very interested.
"Jimmy, how did you get the idea to write a history about the Jews?"
"Steve, if I remember correctly, you are a Jew. One of my classmates is also a Jew. We have a good relationship. Sometimes we chat together. What he talks about the most is the Jewish experience during World War II. That period
Experience has become the gene of your race and is deeply engraved in your soul, but don’t forget that the damage we suffered during World War II was only greater than yours, not less. We are all victims.
It has been forty years since the end of World War II, and many people have forgotten it. They feel that this period of history only survives in books, and what is left is just cold words. But some people cannot forget, and do not dare to forget. These people should tell those who are about to
People who have forgotten, this period of history is not just cold words, behind these words is actually our humanity, which will never leave us!"
"Well done, Jimmy. I never thought you had such profound thoughts about that period of history at such a young age. I want your script, and I will definitely make a great work!"
Spielberg shouted.
Liu Lang applauded himself in his heart: I plagiarized other people's scripts and made up a whole set of anti-war theories. What a fucking genius I am!
Liu Lang knew that Spielberg was a director who was good at reflecting on war. "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan" were both critically acclaimed and box office hits, so he went with what he liked, and it really worked.
Liu Lang just wants to make friends with Spielberg. This great director's movies never lack box office. If you have the opportunity in the future, you can consider cooperating with him.
"Jimmy, how about you giving Steve such a good script and our relationship getting closer? Why don't you write a script for me too?"
Another person walked up not far away, and it was James Cameron. He has a closer relationship with Lucas. Many of the special effects for the Terminator three years ago were done by Industrial Light and Magic.
"Okay! James, if you have a good script in the future, you can also ask me to invest in it!"
Liu Lang replied.
Ten years later, James Cameron filmed "Titanic". The global box office of this movie reached 1.8 billion US dollars, becoming the highest-grossing movie in history. However, there were also many discordant voices afterwards, mainly that it was stuck.
Mellon was too overbearing, and production costs continued to increase. In the end, Cameron directly increased the cost to 150 million US dollars. Even the producers were under tremendous pressure. If such a large investment failed, the film company might go bankrupt. Fortunately,
In the end it was successful.
If it were Liu Lang who invested in this movie, there would be no pressure. Anyway, it would be a guaranteed profit and no loss. I would just pay the 150 million myself, and the final profit would be at least a billion US dollars.
Liu Lang and three major Hollywood "supervisors" came to a small film forum and talked about many topics. Liu Lang talked about the future development trends of movies, especially the special effects department which is the mainstream. This was agreed by the three of them.
.
The four people together immediately became the center of the banquet. Many Hollywood producers came over and listened humbly like a bunch of primary school students. If this was in China, I'm afraid they would take out their notebooks and record Liu's details in detail.
Lang’s quotations.
It is obvious that Shengtang Film Company has already gained a great reputation in the film and television industry, and the next step is to "bomb" more intensely.
Half a month later, "The Voice" has decided on the final eight. The eight contestants will fight brutally in the finals. Who can wear the final crown of the first episode of "The Voice" has become the hottest topic.
What’s more interesting at the same time is, who will serve as the chief judge of the finals?
Shengtang Music has officially announced that it will invite a heavyweight superstar to take the role. As for who it is? You will only know at the finals.
Liu Lang told the internal executives that he would find the superstar Michael Jackson to be the chief judge of the finals. Ye Jinsheng and everyone were of course extremely happy. If Michael Jackson could come forward, the ratings of the finals would be greatly improved, but Michael Jackson could not
It's not something that ordinary people can afford. For this kind of business activity, his appearance fee is two million US dollars, which is a bit expensive. Moreover, after all, Shengtang is just a fledgling small company. People will see it.
Up?
Of course Liu Lang has a way. He met him at Lucas's banquet half a year ago. Michael Jackson also took the initiative to invite Liu Lang to sing, and Liu Lang agreed. Now is the time.
Liu Lang had the other party's business card, so he made a phone call to the other party. The other party heard that Liu Lang had written a song for him and wanted to meet Liu Lang immediately.
As the king of pop music in the world, Michael Jackson has many villas under his name. There is a huge manor covering an area of more than 20,000 square meters in Beverly Hills. Lucas drives his Bentley car,
He led Liu Lang and Sun Hu to the door. The four-meter-high iron door slowly opened. The three of them got out of the car, and then got into a prepared car.
Liu Lang sat in the car and looked outside. There was a large six-story villa in the distance. The architectural style was completely different from the surrounding villas. It looked like a castle where the princess lived in a Disney fairy tale, with a typical Gothic style.
, characterized by pointed arches, ribbed vaults and flying buttresses.
"Liu, the construction of this villa started in 1981 and was not completed until last year. It is the best building in the entire Beverly Hills!"
Lucas explained to Liu Lang.
"Michael still has a childlike heart, and the place where he lives is full of fairy tale atmosphere!"
Liu Lang deeply sighed. In his previous life, Michael Jackson was most famous for his "Neverland Manor" in Las Vegas. This villa covers an area of more than a thousand acres, and the facilities inside cost as much as 3,500 yuan.
It is worth millions of dollars and has a private sports field, playground, artificial lake, cinema and zoo. It is said to be based on the fascinating island in "Peter Pan".
Of course, Michael Jackson started building this Neverland Ranch in 1988, and he hasn’t purchased the land yet.
This manor was not as big as Neverland, but it was not small either. The car drove a hundred meters inside before arriving at the front of the castle. Jackson himself was standing under the eaves waiting for everyone, still wearing a hat and sunglasses.
