The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 153 The Rich Chinese Man (for collection)

After talking with Lei Shidong, Xu Guanwu packed up his mood and went to meet the legendary director, Steve Spielberg.

"Ah Wu, this director is really so good, is it worth you to meet him in person?" Zhao Yazhi asked suspiciously.

The status of producers in Hollywood is quite high, they are the controllers of the entire film, and the director is just a person who serves them and is responsible for directing and shooting.

"In Hollywood, the vast majority of directors rely on the producer's face to act, but there are still a small number of directors who need the producer to act on their face." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "The one we are going to meet today is that One of a handful."

"Is he that powerful? Why haven't I heard of it before?" Zhao Yazhi asked suspiciously.

She read a lot of Hollywood movie magazines, none of which published the director's report.

"Although he hasn't become famous yet, he has outstanding talent." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Trust me, after this movie is released, you will know how powerful he is."

When Zhao Yazhi heard what Xu Guanwu said, she couldn't help showing a skeptical expression on her face.

……

Taking a car to the studio established by Richard Darrell and David Brown, Xu Guanwu took a look at the company, and saw that the company was really small and pitiful, comparable to the earliest Xu Brothers company .

All the staff, including Richard and David, are only four people, squeezed into a car warehouse of more than 20 square meters, which is a leather bag company with the front and rear of the car.

"Ah Wu, did you invest 1000 million US dollars in this company last year?" Zhao Yazhi frowned and looked around for a week, no matter how she looked at it, she thought it was a scam.

"The United States is like this. Although there are only a few people, the office is still a car warehouse, but it has unlimited development potential." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "Don't underestimate this kind of car warehouse. Many large companies in the United States start from the car warehouse. Developed. Like apple, youtube, etc.”

Wait, Apple Computer doesn't seem to have come out yet, and YouTube won't appear until the new millennium...

Xu Guanwu quickly shut his mouth, not daring to speak nonsense to reveal the secret.

Fortunately, Zhao Yazhi didn't care at all. She looked at this simple office with a look of scrutiny in her eyes.

"Stanley!" David came forward and shook hands with him affectionately.

"Why didn't you see Richard?" Xu Guanwu asked with a smile.

"He went to negotiate with 20th Century Fox. Although his father is still the chairman, business is business, and there is no family relationship to talk about." David laughed.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "I want to meet Stephen, is it convenient now?"

"Convenience, why is it inconvenient? You, an investor, want to see the director. It's not a matter of a phone call. I'll call him now." David said with a smile.

"No, just in case he is busy. I think we should go find him." Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

"Stanley, you'll spoil him like this." David shook his head.

In Hollywood, producers are the real power holders, and directors are nothing more than tools to make money in their eyes.

If you are a big-name director who can bring them huge box office profits, then they will worship you as a god.

But if several movies in a row fail miserably at the box office, there is little room for recovery.

Many directors who were very popular at the time ended up with no films to shoot because the box office did not meet the requirements.

Hollywood, which is mainly driven by profit, is so cold and realistic.

"Liu Bei pays homage to Zhuge Liang, and he still has to pay three visits to the thatched cottage. It doesn't matter if we drive over to see him now. Besides, we are not busy now, so it just happens to be a tourist." Xu Guanwu laughed.

Seeing Xu Guanwu's insistence, David Brown had no choice but to go with him.

Steve Spielberg is currently working on Jaws in a film editing room in Hollywood.Although it is only to participate in the comments, it is already very rare.

Many directors in Hollywood are not even qualified to participate in editing after filming according to the script.

It's like working hard to conceive for ten months, but after giving birth to the child, I don't even have the qualifications to raise it.

This also made many directors indignant.

……

"Steve, do you think 20th Century Fox will invest in my movie?"

When Xu Guanwu, accompanied by David Brown, excitedly came to the editing room, he suddenly heard someone talking in the room.

"George, it's hard to say about this kind of thing. Maybe they will invest. I think your idea is great. If 20th Century Fox still has vision, then it will definitely choose your movie."

"Really?! But the news I heard is not optimistic. 20th Century Fox is on the verge of bankruptcy. I'm afraid it will be difficult to come up with enough funds for my filming."

"George, don't worry, your "American Graffiti" is such a hit, it has already demonstrated your strength. Even if 20th Century Fox doesn't invest, other production companies will appreciate your strength."

"Hey! If, like you, I find such a rich Chinese man who is not short of money, I will be happy."

"Trust me, you'll find it."

"Cough!" David couldn't help coughing, and smiled awkwardly at Xu Guanwu.

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but rubbed his nose, he didn't expect his generosity to be called such a local tyrant - Chinese rich guy, sounds like a rich local tyrant.

The people in the house were startled when they heard the movement outside, and then heard the gurgling sound coming from inside.

"Steve, George, come out, someone wants to see you." David shouted through the door.

"Who wants to see us? David, we're at a critical moment in editing." Steve shouted displeased.

"It's the person you mentioned just now." David roared with embarrassment.

The room was stunned for a moment, and then the door opened a thin crack, and two young men squeezed out through the crack.

Xu Guanwu knew that the editing room needed a dark environment, so he quickly turned sideways to make way.

The two young men quickly closed the door, "David, who wants to see me?" Steve Spielberg asked.

Xu Guanwu carefully looked at the young version of Steve. To be honest, he is a little uglier than he was in later generations.

Although the later generations are a little older and have a long beard, they have the charm of a mature man.

But now Steve has a white and clean face, and he still has the long hair typical of hippies. He is unkempt, and he doesn't have the temperament of an artist.

And the young man next to him has a round face, a very short chin and a small mustache, which looks a little funny.

"This is the investor of "Jaws", Stanley Xu, this is the director of "Jaws", master Spielberg, this young man is George Lucas, a new Hollywood director, the year before last He directed "American Graffiti" with a box office of over [-] million, and also participated in the production of our film." David introduced.

Hearing David say that Xu Guanwu is the investor of this movie, Steve and George Lucas looked over in surprise.

Xu Guanwu was also extremely surprised. He never thought that he would meet Lucas, the father of Star Wars, by such a coincidence.

God bless me rich!
