Chapter 284: Spielberg
"I'm just lucky, there's nothing to brag about. By the way, Steven, I was just inviting Kate and Sasha to my manor, since you're here, would you like to visit my manor?"
Zheng Yan still knows a little about Spielberg, and when Spielberg signed the agreement with DreamWorks Films, he deliberately added a clause: even during the filming stage, Spielberg must be given a fixed time every night to go home for dinner with his family.
In addition, the "story meeting at the dinner table" is also a major feature of Spielberg's home. Before each meal, Spielberg would first tell the main line of the story, and then let the children make up the plot of the story one by one, usually after twenty or thirty minutes, and Spielberg would take his turn to make a summary or end to the story.
All in all, Spielberg values his family very much, and Zheng Yan believes that it will be a pleasure to get along with such people.
Hearing Zheng Yan's invitation, Spielberg was a little hesitant. He was very curious about Zheng Yan and didn't mind befriending Zheng Yan, but after all, it was the first time for the two to meet, and it was inevitable that they would be a little abrupt when they came to the door directly.
Zheng Yan naturally saw Spielberg's hesitation, but Zheng Yan didn't want to miss such a good opportunity, if he missed it today, God knows when he would be able to meet it again.
"Steven, you only know that I am the boss of Yanhuang Investment, but you don't know that I have another identity. Actually, I'm still a film screenwriter and have my own film company in Port City, so I'm sure we will have a lot of common topics. ”
"Okay, then we'll bother. As far as I know, your estate has a lot of fine wine, and I hope you don't get stingy. ”
When Spielberg saw Zheng Yan's repeated invitations, he did not refuse, and even made a joke. However, he was a little disapprehensive of Zheng Yan's identity as a screenwriter, Zheng Yan's ability to make money is amazing enough, if he is still a good screenwriter, then the screenwriter is too worthless.
"No problem, as long as you like it, I will pack all the red wine in the future. ”
Seeing Spielberg agree, Zheng Yan was very happy, but the happiest was Lisa, who had never been willing to let go since she was holding Sasha, and even when she went back, she was in a car with Spielberg and her wife.
"Sir, ma'am, you are back. ”
As soon as the car stopped in front of the castle, Morry Wharton greeted him.
"Maury, let the kitchen be well prepared in the evening, I'm going to entertain the guests. Also, go to the cellar and get some good bottles of wine. ”
"Steven, Kate, welcome to my castle. ”
Although Zheng Yan's castle is luxurious, the Spielbergs are not surprised at all because they have never seen the world.
"Lisa, why don't you give Sasha to me, you should be tired after hugging me for so long. ”
Kate Capshaw also felt strange, Sasha usually doesn't let others hug her, and even if she lets her hug it for not too long, she doesn't reject Lisa at all.
"Not tired at all, let me hold it a little longer. Let's go, I'll take you and little Sasha to visit the castle. ”
Lisa seems to be addicted and resolutely refuses to let go of Sasha, and takes the two upstairs with them.
"Steven, would you like to visit my castle?"
"Forget it, I'm more interested in your collection of wines and you personally than visiting the castle. At the beginning, you resolutely chose to invest in crude oil futures when everyone was not optimistic about crude oil futures, and later you proved right. Now that the crude oil futures market is in good shape, to be honest, I'm really curious, did you make a move this time?"
Originally, Zheng Yan thought that Spielberg would talk about movies with him, but he didn't expect that the first thing he mentioned was crude oil futures investment.
Zheng Yan got up and poured Spielberg a glass of wine, "Steven, I'm very sorry, it's inconvenient for me to disclose this for the time being." However, if you have followed the information on this front, I am sure that there will be an answer soon. In addition, if you have idle funds, you may wish to hand them over to Yanhuang Investment Management, I am sure you will not be disappointed. ”
The moment he heard Zheng Yan's words, Spielberg was indeed a little moved, but he still held back. As Bill Miller said, there is only one successful case of Yanhuang Investment, and although the results are amazing, it is not convincing. It wasn't long before Spielberg almost regretted his decision...
"I appreciate your kindness, but I have little interest in investment, especially this kind of speculative investment, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will consider your suggestion. ”
"Well, as long as you want, my Yanhuang investment is always welcome. ”
The so-called twisted melon is not sweet, and it is a melon that cannot be twisted, and Zheng Yan is not reluctant.
"By the way, Zheng Yan, don't you have a film company in Hong Kong City? I remember that there is a film company called Long Teng in Hong Kong City, I don't know if you have heard of it? Their company has a movie called "Farewell My Concubine", which is a very good movie. ”
Spielberg didn't think Zheng Yan could write a good script, but apart from movies, Spielberg was not good at anything else, so he had to turn the topic to this.
Before last year, Spielberg basically didn't pay attention to the Hong Kong film industry, because the Hong Kong movies in the 90s, although they were at their peak, even in the global film industry, they had a lot of influence, but the production was basically purely commercial films, which was somewhat inconsistent with his philosophy. But the birth of "Farewell My Concubine" made him pay attention to Longteng Entertainment.
As a senior film director, Spielberg naturally participated in the Cannes Film Festival, and he also admired the Palme d'Or "Farewell My Concubine", although he won numerous awards, but he never won the Palme d'Or in his life, but he knows the weight of this award.
Zheng Yan almost laughed out loud when he heard Spielberg's words, someone sent a pillow when he was really sleepy, "Steven, the Dragon Entertainment in your mouth is the company I founded, and the "Farewell My Concubine" you just said, I am the screenwriter of this movie, do you think I have heard of it?"
Hearing Zheng Yan's answer, Spielberg's first reaction was not to believe it. Zheng Yan is too young after all, and "Farewell My Concubine" must have started filming a few years ago, how old was Zheng Yan at that time?
But after thinking about it again, I feel that Zheng Yan can't lie, after all, this kind of lie is too easy to debunk, and there is really no need. Under the double contradiction, Spielberg didn't know how to answer for a while.
