Chapter 738: Invite Michael Jackson

"What does Schindler's List mean?"

Spielberg asked, puzzled.

Seeing that the other party was puzzled, Liu Lang breathed a sigh of relief.

This film is one of Spielberg's masterpieces, and it can also rank in the top ten in the history of world cinema, not only at the box office, but also because of the film's torture of that dark history and the glorious depiction of human nature.

In Liu Lang's previous life, this movie was shot by Spielberg in 93, with a total box office of 370 million US dollars, and was nominated for 12 awards at the Oscars, and finally won seven awards including Best Film, Best Director, and Best Screenplay, becoming the most dazzling crown in the world film palace.

Liu Lang liked this movie very much in his previous life, he watched it several times, and he remembered every plot clearly, and he also knew that this movie came from an Australian name, but it was not very famous.

Spielberg doesn't know the name now, and apparently he doesn't have the script in his hands yet, so that's easy to do.

Liu Lang began to tell the other party this story.

When he heard that it was about the German Jews of World War II, Spielberg immediately became solemn, because he was a Jew himself and was all too familiar with that period of history.

Liu Lang only spoke briefly for more than ten minutes, and explained the general plot clearly, and Spielberg immediately became strongly interested.

"Jimmy, how did you come up with the idea of writing a history about the Jews?"

"Steve, if I'm not mistaken, you're a Jew, one of my classmates is also Jewish, we have a good relationship, sometimes we talk together, and what he says the most is the Jewish experience in World War II, which has become the DNA of your race, deeply engraved in your soul, but don't forget, we were only hurt more than you in World War II, not less than you, we are all victims.

Now that it has been 40 years since the end of World War II, many people have forgotten it, thinking that this history only survives in books, and the rest is only cold words, but some people can't forget, and dare not forget, these people should tell those who are about to forget that this history is not just cold words, behind these words is actually our humanity, and these will never leave us!"

"Well told, Jimmy, I can't believe you have such a deep thought about that period of history at such a young age, I want this script of yours, I will definitely make a great work!"

Spielberg exclaimed.

Liu Lang applauded himself in his heart: plagiarizing other people's scripts and making up a large set of anti-war theories, I am really a genius!

Liu Lang knew that Spielberg was a director who was good at reflecting on war, and "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan" were both popular and popular films, so he did what he liked, and it worked.

Liu Lang just wants to be good friends with Spielberg, this great director's films have never lacked box office, and you can consider cooperating with him if you have the opportunity in the future.

"Jimmy, you gave Steve such a good script, and we are closer, how about you? Why don't you write me a script too?"

Not far away, there was another person, James Cameron, who was closer to Lucas, and many of the special effects in the Terminator three years ago were made by Industrial Light & Magic.

"Okay, James, if you have a good script in the future, you can also ask me to invest in it!"

Liu Lang replied.

Ten years later, James Cameron filmed "Titanic", which reached $1.8 billion at the global box office and became the highest-grossing film in history, but there were also a lot of discordant voices afterwards, mainly because Cameron was too domineering, and the production costs continued to increase, and finally Cameron directly increased to 150 million US dollars, and even the producers were under great pressure.

If Liu Lang invests in this movie, there is naturally no pressure, anyway, it is not a loss, I can pay the 150 million by myself, and the final profit is at least more than a billion US dollars.

Liu Lang and the three major Hollywood "divine directors" came to a small film forum and talked about a lot of topics, Liu Lang said some trends in the future development of films, especially the special effects department is the mainstream, which was agreed by the three.

The four of them immediately became the center of the banquet together, and many Hollywood producers came over and listened humbly like a group of elementary school students, if this was in China, I am afraid they would take out their notebooks to record Liu Lang's quotations in detail.

Obviously, Shengtang Pictures has a great reputation in the film and television industry, and the next step is to "bombard" more violently.

Half a month later, the "Voice of America" decided the final eight, and the eight contestants will fight brutally in the final finals, who can wear the final crown of the first issue of "The Voice of America" has become the hottest topic, and at the same time, it is more interesting who will serve as the chief judge of the finals?

Shengtang Music officially announced that it will invite a heavyweight superstar to serve as it, as for who?

Liu Lang told the internal senior management that he would go to the superstar Michael Jackson to be the chief judge of the finals, Ye Jinsheng was of course very happy, if Michael Jackson could come forward, the ratings of the finals would be greatly improved, but Michael Jackson is not something that ordinary people can afford, this kind of commercial activity, his appearance fee will have to be two million US dollars, which is really a bit expensive, and no matter what, Shengtang is just a fledgling small company after all, will people look at it?

Of course Liu Lang has a way, he met each other at Lucas's banquet half a year ago, Michael Jackson also took the initiative to invite Liu Lang to sing, Liu Lang also agreed to the other party, now is the time.

Liu Lang had the other party's business card, he made a phone call to the other party, and the other party heard that Liu Lang had written a song for him, and immediately wanted to meet Liu Lang.

Michael Jackson as a superstar in the world pop music scene, there are many villas under his name, just in Beverly Hills there is a huge estate covering an area of more than 20,000 square meters, Lucas drove his Bentley, took Liu Lang and Sun Hu to the door, the iron door more than four meters high slowly opened, the three got out of the car, and then got into a prepared car.

Liu Lang sat in the car and looked out, there was a six-storey villa in the distance, the architectural style is completely different from the surrounding villas, the shape is like a castle where the princess lives in a Disney fairy tale, with a typical Gothic style, characterized by pointed arches, ribbed vaults and flying arches.

"Liu, this villa was built in eighty-one years, and it was not completed until last year, and it is the best building in the entire Beverly Hills!"

Lucas explained to Liu Lang.

"Michael is a child, and the places where he lives are full of fairy tales!"

Liu Lang deeply sighed that in his previous life, Michael Jackson was most famous for the "Dream Manor" in Las Vegas, which covers an area of more than 1,000 acres of land, and the facilities in it cost as much as 35 million US dollars, with a private sports field, playground, artificial lake, cinema and zoo, which is said to be based on the fascinating island in "Peter Pan".

Of course, this dream manor was built by Michael Jackson in '88, and he hasn't bought the land yet.

The manor was not as big as a dream manor, but it was not small, and the car drove a hundred meters inside to the front of the castle, and Jackson himself was standing under the eaves waiting for everyone, still wearing a hat and sunglasses, and looking cool.
