Chapter 402 Two scripts related to aliens

A movie caused such a big sensation in the United States, and even directly caused more than one third of the tourism industry in the United States to be paralyzed.More than [-]% of families now avoid going to the beach for vacation. The beaches in Hawaii are sparsely populated, and Dasini Beach is deserted, let alone other places. All tourist attractions that are close to the sea are deserted.

"This is a disaster!" the head of the United States Tourism Bureau said in a statement: "'Jaws' made us lose our golden vacation, and we were closed for the entire peak season, and it was all because of the Oriental man. It happened with Spielberg, they should apologize, they should be responsible!"

"Well, I admit that Jaws is nothing more than a disaster movie that relies on visual effects to make money, and the chain reaction caused by its release is itself a disaster."

Due to the bad impact of the incident, hundreds of travel agencies across the United States jointly went on strike, causing those scenic spots that were not beaches to come to a standstill. The director's union received instructions from the government department and asked Wang Xiaohu to make a compromise apology on the surface.

Why use "superficial" apology? In fact, people in the industry can figure it out with their toes. Wang Xiaohu is now a major taxpayer in the United States. As a legal taxpayer, Wang Xiaohu should be protected by the government. There is no clear indication of which beach spots have great white sharks, not to mention that the beach in the film is from Australia, does it have a half-dollar relationship with the United States?No, if it weren't for the bad influence of the incident, the US government would have simply kept silent.

Even with such a short apology, Wang Xiaohu was very aggrieved. When he was interviewed by reporters, he said: "Guys, I only wanted to invest in making a profitable movie at first, and I didn't even think about it. What kind of impact does it have, and I've never seen a film that can draw people into such strong emotions."
"I express my deep regret for this, and I would like to say to those in charge of travel agencies: If your beach attractions do not have great white sharks or other ferocious marine life, then you are lucky, this movie is just a reminder to you, do business We must always regard customers as God. If God is happy, we will be happy too! If you have great white sharks there, that’s good, and you will be lucky too. Why don’t you launch an action to expel great white sharks? I believe many citizens are very happy. Be willing to participate, of course, you must organize a large team and pay attention to safety."

Before that, many colleagues in Hollywood still wanted to see his excitement, but he resolved the main conflict with a few words, and even came up with a very dynamic planning plan for those travel agencies!

As soon as the words fell, many people at the press conference left quickly. They were all representatives sent by the travel agency. After hearing this good plan, they immediately reported the good news to their bosses. I have to say that Wang Xiaohu's plan is very good. It is provocative, and it is foreseeable that a group of people who make a living from fishing in the United States will become the first lucky ones. They will be hired by major beach attractions and directly appointed as shark catching experts in "Jaws" Brown's role, leading the thrill-seeking passengers to gallop on the sea.

"Hey, did you see that "Jaws" may not be a disaster, and it may even spawn a new way of travel." When Wang Xiaohu apologized to reporters, it was already a month after "Jaws" was released At this time, the cumulative North American box office of "Jaws" has reached 300 million US dollars. Although it has not broken the box office records left by "Rocky 1" and "Home Alone", you must know that the director of "Jaws" is not Wang Xiaohu. , is director rookie Spielberg, Wang Xiaohu only gave Spielberg a script and a sum of money.

"Jaws" has created several records in the history of Hollywood movies. First of all, the large investment, starting from the filming of the film, the production of mechanical sharks, the selection of Oscar-nominated actors, the production of special effects, the recording of music, etc., Wang Xiaohu poured in without blinking his eyes. 500 million. If you add the later TV promotion, poster promotion, etc., this number has reached a staggering 2000 million. What's more important is: the money was completely taken out of Wang Xiaohu's own pocket. The main reason for the shock of their Hollywood counterparts.

You must know that such behavior was absolutely crazy at the time. Even big companies such as Paramount, Warner, Universal, and 20th Century Fox would not dare to take risks, let alone a large investment of 2000 million yuan into a relatively unpopular movie. In terms of subject matter, to achieve such success, except for a few people who have strong confidence in Wang Xiaohu's script, most people feel that Wang Xiaohu is playing with fire!

Facts have proved that Wang Xiaohu succeeded, not to mention the gold leaf earned at the box office, and Spielberg has also become a dazzling new star in the Hollywood director circle.

After the reporter's interview, Spielberg excitedly said to Wang Xiaohu: "Boss, I feel that you should hold a celebration reception."

"Huh? I'm not interested in receptions. If I have the time, I might as well go home and sleep." Wang Xiaohu yawned in a lack of interest and said, "It doesn't matter if you want to hold it. After all, you can be your own now. There are many Necessary entertainment still needs to be carried out.”

"Boss, you..." Spielberg hesitated to speak, implying: Boss, don't you need to socialize, after all, you're in Hollywood now.

"Steven, I think you're going to waste your tongue again!" George said.After hearing this, Lucas walked over and said: "Our boss was a genius who refused even the official Oscar celebration patty. He didn't like this kind of occasion."

"Hehe." Wang Xiaohu smiled, he could clearly see that the two guys were singing and trying to squeeze him out, but he didn't care, in Hollywood now, apart from a few directors who had to make friends, there were not many stars he could take a fancy to Yes, after all, he doesn't have much time to waste on hypocritical communication.

"I'll give you another ten days to finish handling the matter here, and then you pack up and go to Hong Kong with me, and we'll go over there to work on the special effects shooting of "Shaking Earth"."

After Wang Xiaohu finished speaking, he yawned again and again and was about to dodge, but was stopped by Spielberg.

"Boss, wait, you seem to have forgotten something?" Spielberg said anxiously.

Wang Xiaohu turned around and looked at him, frowning slightly and said, "What is it?"

"The script, the script of my next movie! You promised to give it to me! But a month has passed, and you never mentioned anything about the script!" Spielberg was a little depressed.

Now he's not the kid he once was. "Jaws" made him an unprecedented success, and many people regard Spielberg as an upstart.The waiters speculated about his clothes, which he might have bought from K-Matt's, and the Mercedes that had replaced the battered brown car he bought on Rampage, which was actually rented.During the meal, the waiter asked him to sit at the table next to the toilet.At the L'Ermitage, a then-fashionable restaurant in Los Angeles, Spielberg shrugged off an uncommon waiter who saw Spielberg's long hair and called him a lady.

As a reward for the success of Jaws, Spielberg finally got his dream bungalow, or half a bungalow, because he shared the house with John Milius.He added a large table with tape lattice, which was worthy of splendor, and it was very luxurious.He added an AM/FM stereo radio, a computer, a night light, sticky notes, a mechanical pencil sharpener, a computer phone, and a color television.This color TV can show people coming and going by the front and back doors. He joked that he has been so corrupted that he takes a shower twice a day.
In fact, Wang Xiaohu gave Spielberg more rewards than these superficial ones, but Spielberg is used to the current life, and the bonuses given to him are all stored in the bank. Now the most important thing for Spielberg is One thing is: what am I going to do in my next movie, and will I still have the same sense of superiority I have now?
Because Hollywood has a reminder for newcomers, even the most successful ones: Hollywood doesn't need any newcomers.

Now Wang Xiaohu is not only Spielberg's boss, but also a mentor, idol, and ultimate goal. Spielberg is now eager to take Wang Xiaohu as his ultimate goal and pursue the great sense of accomplishment he has obtained, so he has been dreaming for a month. Guess what kind of script Wang Xiaohu has prepared for him.

"Uh!" Wang Xiaohu patted his head and said, "Steven, my old buddy, I'm really sorry, I've been practicing spacewalks with Michael recently, you know, now Michael wants to fly solo, he's very worried about the future , he needs my help."

Wang Xiaohu didn't lie. At this time, Michael Jackson had already had the idea of ​​going solo and was busy with his personal biography. At this juncture, Wang Xiaohu's arrival was undoubtedly a guiding light for his singing career.But our classmate Xiaohu really knows very little about Jackson. He has only studied the spacewalk mechanical dance and a few classic songs. Other than that, he doesn't interfere too much with Jackson, so let little Jackson do whatever he wants. .But it's still fun to practice with Jackson every day.

"Well, there are two scripts, both of which are related to aliens." Wang Xiaohu rubbed his temples and said, "One is a script that I accidentally mentioned to me two years ago. Adapted and perfected, but I want to remind you that this script involves a lot of political factors, and you may encounter a lot of trouble during the filming process."
