The king of ghost horse comedy

Chapter 557 David Geffen.
Dave and Richard dared to say no, they all smiled and nodded.

To be honest, in the past few years they have cooperated with Xu Guanwu, and they have made money from this horror film.Because the cost of making horror films is relatively low, even if there is a little oil in the middle, they will not be discovered, so they usually take the opportunity to make a fortune.

Films such as "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Star Wars" have relatively strict control over funds because of the huge investment.Moreover, directors such as George Lucas and Steven Spielberg are not vegetarians, and they will not do it if they are too greedy.

So unlike these directors who made B-level horror films, they themselves were unknown little directors, and they were lucky to be able to make movies, so how dare they pick on the issue of funding? !In addition, David and Richard are more famous than them, so they are basically the only one on the set, so the money is naturally a little bit more ruthless.

Xu Guanwu also knew that Richard and David had dirty hands and feet, but he had no intention of pursuing it.As the saying goes, when water is clear, there will be no fish, and when people observe it, there will be no disciples.Even if Xu Guanwu sent someone to watch them all the time, there would still be a phenomenon of profiteering.So for Xu Guanwu, as long as the movie is well shot and the box office income is good, then he should be greedy.But if the actions of the two of them have affected the normal filming of the film, then Xu Guanwu will not be used to them anymore.Fortunately, Richard and David also know the importance, so there have been no mistakes in cooperation for many years, which is why Xu Guanwu has been looking for them to cooperate.

"By the way, have you found the author of the book "First Blood"?" Xu Guanwu asked Richard after chatting about "A Nightmare on Elm Street".

"We are sending people to check, but you also know how developed the American publishing industry is. Every year, 10,000+ books are published, so it will take some time to search." Richard Said.

"Well, hurry up, otherwise I'm really afraid of being snatched away by others." Xu Guanwu said.

"It doesn't matter, it's just a film and television adaptation right of a book. Even if someone takes it away, we can buy it back with money." David said with a smile, "If it is really a blockbuster movie, I think Stanley, you will not begrudge money."

Xu Guanwu couldn't help smiling when he heard this, "My creed is that money that shouldn't be spent will never be spent. If the owner of the film and television adaptation rights of this "First Blood" wants to blackmail the price, I will not accept him." That set."

"Understood, don't worry, we will continue to search." Richard nodded.

Xu Guanwu raised his hand to look at his watch, seeing that only an hour had passed, if he walked faster, he should still be in time to buy clothes with Azhi, so he wanted to get up and say goodbye.

At this time, I saw Steven Spielberg leading a man in, "David, I have already found a suitable theme song for the song "ET". My old friend David Geffen is willing to provide it for free. That song is for us to use. Hey, you are Mr. Xu, long time no see."

After Spielberg finished yelling at David, he suddenly saw Xu Guanwu still standing beside him, and quickly greeted him again.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Why, I'm busy with the post-production of "ET" recently."

"Yes." Spielberg replied. At this time, the man behind him looked at Xu Guanwu with great interest. The look in his eyes made Xu Guanwu feel uncomfortable for a while, but he didn't know why.

Spielberg was about to explain clearly to David, when the man behind him quietly approached Spielberg and said something.Spielberg glanced at him, then at Xu Guanwu, and suddenly said with a smile, "By the way, I forgot to introduce you, this is the person I just mentioned, my old friend David Geffen, He's the boss of Refuge Records."

"No, it's the former boss. Hi, I'm David Geffen, hello everyone!" David Geffen greeted everyone coquettishly.But only Xu Guanwu responded stupidly, while David and Richard seemed a little indifferent.

"Hello, I'm Stanley Xu. You can call me Stanley, or maybe you can." Xu Guanwu stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Thank you, my friend." David Geffen hurriedly reached out to shake hands with Xu Guanwu.

Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment. Although he was surprised by David Geffen's enthusiasm, he still reached out and shook his hand, "Mr. Geffen runs a record company?"

"Yes, but that record company has already been sold by me." David Geffen said with a smile.

"Why, isn't your record company doing very well, even the Eagles were made famous by you?" Spielberg asked suspiciously.

Hearing what Spielberg said, Xu Guanwu's ears perked up.The Eagles are famous. The song "Hotel California" can definitely be regarded as an immortal classic of psychedelic rock music. Xu Guanwu liked to listen to this song very much before. He never thought that such a famous rock band would be David Geffen became famous, so he really doesn't show his face.

"You also know that I was almost diagnosed with a terminal illness last year, so at that moment I was discouraged and sold the record company." David Geffen explained to Spielberg in a low voice, "But I'm planning to Re-opening another record company, because I feel that movies are not suitable for me, I still prefer to make records, because I like to discover new people, and then package them into big stars."

Xu Guanwu couldn't help laughing when he heard this, this is really hard to find, and it doesn't take much effort to get it.As soon as I wanted to set up a record company, God sent me an awesome character right away.Those who can support the Red Eagles should have some skills.

"David, I'm sorry, I accidentally overheard the conversation between the two of you just now." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "I seem to have heard that you want to start a record company, right?"

"Yes, Xu, do you have any comments?" David Geffen asked Xu Guanwu with a smile.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "That's right, I am also very interested in music, and I am also very optimistic about the American record market. If you don't mind, how about we start a company together?"

David Geffen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled, "It's a good thing if someone is willing to invest in me. Of course I have no reason to refuse."

"That's great, I wish us a happy cooperation." Xu Guanwu smiled and stretched out his hand.

David Geffen smiled, and quickly stretched out his hand to shake Xu Guanwu's hand.

"Okay, let's talk about the cooperation between the two of you another day, and I will finish my own business first." Spielberg said rather impatiently, "I have already found an episode suitable for "ET", and David also Agree that we can use it for free."

"This is really good news, congratulations to you Stephen." Richard said with an exaggerated smile, "I think our follow-up production of "ET" can finally proceed to the next stage."

"What you don't understand is that the soundtrack is very important to a movie. If an inappropriate soundtrack is played in an inappropriate place, not only will the film's appeal be greatly reduced, but the audience's perception will also be deteriorated. "Spielberg heard the ridicule in Richard's mouth, and couldn't help frowning.

"Yes, I know that what you say makes sense, but if you can speed up your pace a little, I think I will shut up too." Richard nodded.

"Okay, you two don't have to argue anymore. The quality of the movie is the most important thing. If it can improve the quality of the movie, it doesn't matter if it takes a little more time. Richard, don't rush Stephen, I think he will be a A responsible director," Xu Guanwu smoothed things over with a smile.

"Thank you, Mr. Xu, for your trust. Then I will continue to work on the follow-up production of "ET." Spielberg promised, then turned around and walked out, "David, won't you come with me?"

"I still want to stay and talk to Mr. Xu about opening a new record company together." David Geffen said with a smile.

"Oh, don't worry about that matter. Since Stephen has something to do with you, let's talk about it next time." Xu Guanwu smiled and said.

"In this case, let's make an appointment next time." David Geffen nodded, turned and walked away with Steven Spielberg.

"Stanley, if you say that, you will spoil these people." Richard said, "They will have more confidence to continue delaying the time, but we still have to catch the schedule. If the ticket is skipped, yes The movie box office has a big impact."

"You two should be considerate of each other, you can always find a solution to the problem." Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

"By the way, Stanley, are you really planning to start a record company with David Geffen?" David asked suddenly.

"Yeah, the person who can support the Red Eagles should have some skills." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "Why, is there something wrong with him? Could it be that he is a liar or a villain who often deceives his partners? ?”

"That's not true. He is indeed very capable. He has become a millionaire at a young age, and the people who worked with him didn't say anything bad about him. But he is gay." Richard waved his hand , opened his eyes wide, and said to Xu Guanwu solemnly, "And his boyfriend died of AIDS last year, so he may be a carrier of AIDS."

"I'm X!" Xu Guanwu couldn't help cursing, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"We don't know that you don't know about it, and haven't you noticed that we are very cold to him?" David said, "But I don't think you need to worry too much, daily contact should not be contagious. "

Xu Guanwu still felt very uncomfortable. No wonder David Geffen looked at him so strangely. No wonder David and Richard treated him so coldly. This turned out to be the reason.

"Now you know that his record company is doing well, but why did you suddenly sell it?" Richard nodded and said, "It's because he was worried that he would be infected and contract an incurable disease, so he simply Sell ​​the company and die."

"Then he's back again now, so he should be fine?" Xu Guanwu asked suddenly.

"Probably, but this kind of disease is hard to describe." David waved his hand.

"Forget it, forget it, don't scare yourself, it's just a handshake, it won't be contagious." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "Okay, if there is nothing else, I will leave first."

……

Coming out of the Fox company, Xu Guanwu looked at his watch, but only an hour and a half had passed, and he still had enough time to go shopping with his wife, so he hurried back to the hotel.Unexpectedly, when I went back, I saw that A Zhi had already taken Xiao Simo out, "Oh, why is my addiction to shopping so big, can't you wait for me for a while?"

Xu Guanwu lost his temper at the empty room, and then he had no choice but to turn on the TV and watch it.It happened to be the Oprah show on Marvel TV.Seeing this show again after a year, Xu Guanwu felt that Oprah was much more mature, and her hosting style was more delicate, which moved the audience both offstage and on stage to tears.

"This woman is getting more and more good at fooling around." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

When it was noon, Xu Guanwu received another call from his wife, telling him to come out for dinner, and there was good Japanese sushi to eat.Xu Guanwu didn't want to eat Japanese food at first, but after thinking about it, the Chinese food here is too strong, and it would be nice to have some light Japanese sushi occasionally, so he agreed to have sushi for lunch today.
