Chapter 509 Peng Yichen's Dream Factory?!

got rid of the pestering ABC hostess, Peng Yichen and Yu Jing finally walked into the awards ceremony hall.

But at the entrance of the hall, the two unexpectedly ran into two Hollywood bigwigs, David Geffen and Spielberg.

Spielberg needless to say, he is a world-renowned top director.

And this David Geffen's identity, of course, is not simple.

He is a well-known entertainment mogul, ace producer, and music company owner in Hollywood. Born on February 21, 1943, in the slums of Brooklyn, New York, he came out to work without finishing college and started a music company. He ranks 31st among the top 50 philanthropists in the United States and 40th on the "Star Flag Country Rich List".

He is one of the most successful owners of the film, television, record and entertainment industries in the United States, and he founded a company that owns or has many famous stars or productions, such as the famous "Guns and Roses" and John Lennon.

His company has also produced: the Broadway musical "Cats" and a large number of films,

In Peng's previous life, the letter "G" in the world-famous Hollywood film DreamWorks (Dreamorks SKG), which he co-founded with the great director Spielberg, represents the first letter of David Geffen's name.

He is the highest status gay in Hollywood, and "Out of the Closet" magazine once selected the 50 most powerful gay celebrities. David Geffen is undeniably number one.

And in this life, although David Geffen and Spielberg did not cooperate to form DreamWorks, the two of them are still very good friends.

So seeing them appear together didn't make Peng Yichen strange.

At this time, the other guests had already entered, and these two bigwigs were standing here, obviously waiting for Peng Yichen.

"Hello, Director Peng, can you introduce us to this beautiful lady next to you?" said David Geffen with a smile on his face.

He had actually only met Peng Yichen once, but Yu Jing had never met him once.

Of course, he didn't admit that he couldn't be quiet, and such "knowingly asking" was just to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor and politeness to ladies.

"This is the executive chairman of the Star Flag Country Geffen Records, Mr. David Geffen!" Peng Yichen smiled and introduced Yu Jing.

"Hello, Mr. Geffen!" Although Yu Jing has been developing in the Chinese entertainment industry before, she has also heard of the most famous gay boss in Hollywood.

After arriving in the Star Flag Country, I heard a lot of "lace news" about David Geffen in various street tabloids.

It is said that Geffen used to like women as well.

But after he became a Hollywood bigwig, he soon made public the news that he "came out".

This is a smart person who does his own thing and doesn't care about the eyes of others.

Of course, even in the open Star Flag Country, it is difficult for a well-known figure like him to come out of the closet to be accepted by the public.

Therefore, in the country of Xingqi, rumors about him are endless.

Some people say that he has set up a special department in the company to find and deal with "love partners" for him.

These "love objects" also have a nickname - "Geffen Baby".

It is also said that he and Keanu Reeves were secretly "married", and the reason why Levi later faded out of the film industry was because he was banned by him after breaking up with Geffen.

Of course, few people will believe this nonsense.

And David Geffen, who is on the cusp of the storm, as one of the top Hollywood bigwigs, deals with these rumors in a very simple way, that is, to ignore them all.

Because only a cowardly dog will bark at others.

Lions will only eat their enemies in one bite.

This is Geffen's life credo.

In this regard, his style is very similar to Peng Yichen.

"I've been wondering what kind of charm Ms. Yu has that fascinates our Director Peng, and now I think I've found the answer!" Geffen gracefully shook hands with Yu Jing.

The proportions and distances of his speech are controlled by him.

It not only made Yu Jing feel the sincerity and enthusiasm of his words, but also did not make Peng Yichen, her husband, feel offended.

Just by looking at this ability to treat people and things, you can understand why Geffen has become one of the top bigwigs in Hollywood.

"I also have long admired Mr. Geffen's name, and it is my honor to know you!" Yu Jing shook Geffen's hand generously and said with a smile.

"Oh?" Geffen deliberately "huh", "It can't be that Director Peng is often speaking ill of me to you, right?"

"You're laughing!" Yu Jing shook her head lightly and said with a smile: "My husband is not a person who likes to speak ill of people behind his back. In fact, I've seen some reports about you in the newspapers, and I think you're a very interesting person!"

"Most of the media reports are just far-fetched!" said Guffing, nonchalantly.

Of course, he knows that those media like to chew their tongues behind their backs, but he doesn't care about the nonsense of those lace tabloids at all.

"Mr. Spielberg, I don't know what is the matter with you coming to me?" Peng Yichen suddenly interjected with a smile.

He did not introduce Spielberg to Yu Jing, because the two officially met at the Oscars last year.

"Can't I meet you if there's nothing to do?" Spielberg shook hands with Peng Yichen first, and then with Yu Jing, like an old man next door, and said with a smile: "I have watched several movies starring Ms. Yu seriously." If I have the chance, I would like to invite Ms. Yu to play one of my roles in the film!

"It's my honor to be able to star in your movie!" Yu Jing smiled calmly.

If it were any other actress, it would certainly be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be able to work with Spielberg.

But her husband Peng Yichen, but in the eyes of the media of the Star Flag Country, he is already a director of the same level as Spielberg.

Therefore, she did not feel too excited about Spielberg's invitation.

Inviting Yu Jing to star in her own movie is just by the way.

Spielberg came to Peng Yichen today, and of course there were other important things.

He saw that there was still half an hour before the award ceremony could start, so he pulled Peng Yichen and Yu Jing to a small box on the side.

After the four of them sat down, Spielberg said what he wanted to do today.

It turned out that Spielberg and David Geffen had the intention to set up a film production company many years ago.

It's called DreamWorks.

It's just that in this world, the power of Wall Street's financial consortium in Hollywood is much greater than that of Peng Yichen's previous life.

Spielberg and David Geffen saw at that time that all seven major Hollywood film companies had become lackeys and tools in the hands of financial conglomerates.

Spielberg's original intention in establishing DreamWorks was to get rid of the restrictions of financial conglomerates.

This means that if DreamWorks is established, then this company will become a thorn in the side of the seven major Hollywood studios.

You must know that the distribution and media publicity channels of the North American film market are basically controlled by the seven major film companies.

The newly formed DreamWorks, without the support of the seven major film companies.

The cost of film distribution, publicity and distribution channels, and peripheral profitability will be greatly limited.

In other words, all the movies shot by DreamWorks rely on the box office to make a profit.

As long as their films fail at the box office, and DreamWorks can't recoup its costs through peripheral products and copyright operations, the company's financial chain could break at any time.

It was too risky, so the two of them gave up on the decision to start DreamWorks in the first place.

But now, Huaxia Film Capital has entered the Star Flag Country and successfully acquired Time Warner Group.

The original Legendary Pictures was also successfully acquired by the newly formed China Time Warner.

This means that Hollywood filmmakers, in addition to financial consortia, have a new choice, that is, to cooperate with Huaxia Film Capital.

Spielberg's reason was simple: he wanted Peng to join him and David Geffen in their plans.

Together, the three of them formed DreamWorks Productions.

Each person contributes 30% of the company's shares, and the remaining 40% of the shares will be given to China Time Warner, and 10% will be used for the company's future incentives to attract high-end film talents.

After the establishment of the company, all the films produced were handed over to China Time Warner for distribution, and the later film peripherals and copyright operations were also handed over to China Time Warner for operation.

DreamWorks only retains the rights to the film.

For Peng Yichen, this matter is beneficial and harmless.

The establishment of DreamWorks means that Spielberg and David Geffen have joined the camp of their Chinese film capital.

With the connections and qualifications of these two Hollywood bigwigs, China Time Warner will be able to gain a faster foothold and develop in Hollywood.

And Spielberg and David Geffen can also ask for the restraint of financial consortia and freely make their favorite movies.

It's a win-win partnership.

Therefore, when it came to forming DreamWorks, Peng Yichen and Spielberg and David Geffen quickly reached an agreement.

As for the specific cooperation agreement and content of the company's establishment, it is natural that there are professionals under their hands to negotiate and implement it.

They don't have to worry about it.

And the second thing Spielberg came to Peng Yichen was to ask Peng Yichen to direct a movie, and he would be the producer of the film.

For Spielberg's proposal, Peng Yichen is not surprised.

In Hollywood, Spielberg is a top director, but at the same time a great producer.

He often gives some of his favorite movie scripts to those directors who he thinks are suitable for guidance.

Even "Schindler's List", which he filmed with the best reputation and reputation, originally planned to find other directors to shoot.

It was only in the end that no director dared to take over, so he finally chose to direct this great classic anti-war movie himself.

As for today, Spielberg came to Peng Yichen to ask him to direct which movie, Peng Yichen couldn't guess.
