Chapter 470: The drunkard's intention is not to drink

"I heard that Mr. Joe is going to work with me on a fantasy adventure film?" In a hotel in Hollywood, George Lucas asked Qiao Feng with great interest.

"That's right." Qiao Feng nodded.

"I wonder what kind of story it is?" George Lucas asked again.

He knows what Qiao Feng's movie means, it is a lot of profits. Just like his Lucasfilm, whether it is the Star Wars trilogy or Indiana Jones (Raiders of the Lost Ark), it means a huge box office and peripheral income.

Is it because Qiao Feng is not optimistic about the prospects of the film, so he wants to cooperate? George Lucas has such a worry in his heart. Not only for the above reasons, but also because Qiao Feng is talking about a fantasy and adventure film, as far as he knows, there seems to be no fantasy soil in Hong Kong, fantasy stories? The legend of the Shushan Swordsman in Hong Kong back then was made by the team of Industrial Light and Magic under Lucasfilm that made special effects for Star Wars.

If that's the case, it's better not to cooperate with him, because if it's just shown in the East, it won't have much box office, and it won't be eye-catching. If it is to be screened in Hollywood, that kind of film is not likely to be liked by North American audiences, and the risk is too great.

Qiao Feng didn't know what George Lucas was thinking, and he didn't care, he smiled and said, "Peter Pan, is Mr. Lucas familiar?"

"Of course." George Lucas nodded.

Peter Pan is a full-length story written by the Scotsman and playwright James Matthew Barry, which was originally written by James Matthew Barry and was originally written by James Matthew Barry called Peter Pan in Kensington Park.

Tells the story of Peter Pan, a mischievous little boy who can fly, and his adventures on Nevermore Island.

Mr. Darling's three children, unable to resist the temptation of Peter Pan, a mysterious wild child flying in from the sky, soon learned to fly, and flew out of the window overnight in the absence of their parents to the bizarre "Neverland". The island is home to ferocious beasts, primitive tribe "reds", fearsome pirates, and of course fairies and mermaids.

In short, everything that often appears in children's dreams and fantasies is found here, so there is hunting against beasts, real wars between reds and pirates, or between children and pirates. The children were free from adults, free and free, and under the leadership of Peter Pan, they took care of everything on their own, played to their heart's content, and experienced all kinds of dangers.

But later, these runaway children, especially the eldest sister Wendy, began to miss their mother, and with her mobilization, the children said goodbye to the "Neverland" that brought them infinite joy and flew back home. Later, they all grew into adults. Only Peter Pan never grew up and never came home, he always flew outside, taking generations of children away from home and letting them go to "Neverland" to enjoy the joy of a free childhood.

In 1954, Walt Disney produced Peter Pan, a cartoon changed by Peter Pan, so Peter Pan is also synonymous with Peter Pan.

"Peter Pan", a boy who refuses to grow up, is a well-known figure in the Western world, symbolizing eternal childhood and never-ending adventure. In the Great English Dictionary, "Peter Pan" is included as a proper noun.

Such a famous figure, how could George Lucas not know.

Seeing that Lucas knew, Qiao Feng nodded with a smile and said, "What I want to cooperate with Mr. Lucas is a movie adapted from this fairy tale."

Knowing that it was Peter Pan who was going to be filmed, not some kind of flying fairy story in the East, George Lucas breathed a sigh of relief, and felt that it was still necessary to talk about it.

However, George Lucas had a question in his heart just now, that is, why Qiao Feng wanted to cooperate with him.Since it is a movie adapted from a fairy tale known to the entire Western world, it has a sufficient audience base, why did Qiao Feng cooperate with him.

George Lucas couldn't think of it, so he asked: "Why did Mr. Joe think of finding someone to work with, this story shouldn't be worried about the box office with Mr. Joe's screenwriting ability, right?"

"In the future, I will increase the number of film investments in Hollywood every year, and I will have a lot of cooperation with my Hollywood counterparts. Qiao Feng explained with a smile.

"Oh, I see." George Lucas nodded.

"By the way, Steven has a schedule recently, and I hope this film will be directed by him." Qiao Feng said again.

"Steven has been taking a break since directing the Empire of the Sun last year, and he should have the time and interest to work with Mr. Joe." George Lucas thought for a moment and said.

"Okay." Qiao Feng's eyes flashed with joy, this is the main reason for his cooperation with George Lucas.

Steven Spielberg is a big director pushed out by George Lucas, and he has been hanging in Lucasfilm in the past few years.As a top commercial director, Spielberg has a lot of injury projects, if Qiao Feng just finds Spielberg and asks him to be the director, Spielberg may not necessarily choose to cooperate with Qiao Feng.But working with George Lucas is different.Lucasfilm has been fighting for three years since 84 after producing Raiders of the Lost Ark 2 Demon Raiders.

85 Yukio Mishima passed on the loss, and even the Tokyo International Film Festival did not allow this film to participate, and the maze after that also had a general response.

tells the story of an alien duck's adventure, but the duck is played by a real person, and it is completely impossible to watch.Invested 30 million US dollars, but the box office only got more than 37 million less than 38 million.

George Lucas, who has lost money for three years in a row, urgently needs a movie to get Lucasfilm out of the predicament, at this time Qiao Feng asked him to cooperate, saying that if Spielberg directed, George Lucas would definitely persuade Spielberg, and Spielberg would agree.

"I'll have someone send the script over tomorrow, and someone will be in charge of the follow-up negotiations." Qiao Feng suppressed his joy and said.

"Okay."
