After recognizing Spielberg, countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Heng's mind in an instant, and at the top of the list was a great white shark with a large mouth open in blood.

If I remember correctly, "Jaws" was released in the summer of '75, and it was this hugely successful commercial film that redefined the summer slot, which was originally considered a "garbage dump" for movies, making it the prime time for all blockbusters to compete for.

The film's eponymous name was published earlier in '74, and the preparation and shooting of the film were not yet published.

That is, there is a high probability that the project has already been launched at this time.

Spielberg is 26 years old this year, with thick glasses, he is really a little introverted, under the inadvertent guidance of Zhang Heng, coupled with his own hard work, the atmosphere gradually became lively, and the two chatted more and more.

On Wednesday, Spielberg, who had just finished writing "Flywheel Blood" and was about to go home to recuperate, got an invitation to the party from Zanuk, the owner of his production company, Zanuk and Brown Studios.

The party is hosted by a rich third-generation playboy and Hollywood actress, which is not worth mentioning for a veteran producer like Zanuk who comes from a powerful Hollywood family, but it is an invaluable opportunity for a new director.

Zanuk hopes he can make some Hollywood connections, and even better if he can meet potential film investors.

Listening to the ins and outs of what he said, Zhang Heng joked: "You have the leisure to come here to sit down, it seems that you have gained a lot at the party." ”

"It's a good harvest to finally get to know you, isn't it?" After talking for a while, the two gradually speculated, and Spielberg regained his humorous nature in front of Zhang Heng.

Zhang Heng had to nod and admit it, thinking of the Zanuk he just mentioned, he wondered: "Does your producer have anything to do with Universal?"

Spielbock was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "Zhang, you're not from Hollywood, so you're not familiar with the inside story, Zanuk and Brown Studios are independent studios under Universal, operating independently and paying for their own profits and losses, but the shooting and distribution work is generally handed over to Universal to do." ”

"I see. Zhang Heng nodded, this time it matched the information of "Jaws" in his memory, and asked, "Take the liberty of asking, have they been preparing any movies recently?"

Spielberg smiled meaningfully: "What, are you interested in investing?"

"If the script is good, if they produce it and you direct it, I don't hesitate to invest a lot of money. Zhang Heng admitted frankly.

Spielburk didn't expect him to say this at all, and his face was immediately full of gratitude, and it took a while to suppress his excitement and say, "It's really possible that the company will prepare a movie ......"

The heart instantly mentioned his throat, and Zhang Heng asked, "Which one?"

"A news incident in Sugarland, Texas last year inspired me to write a few things, and I didn't have a complete script, but the two bosses were very interested and encouraged me to finish the first draft of the script as soon as possible. He said a little shy and a little proud.

"Sugarland?" Zhang Heng suddenly woke up, it seems that this is Spielberg's second officially released film, "The Sugarland Express", Chinese name "Rampage Escape".

He let out a long sigh of relief, it seemed that Zanuk and Brown hadn't noticed that Jaws was about to be released, and they still had a chance.

After this party, I couldn't get on the plane back to Xiangjiang as scheduled.

Since I happened to bump into it and thought of it, then the derivative copyright of "Jaws" must be won first no matter what!

The movie is still handed over to Spielberg and his production company in front of him, there is no doubt about it, that is a global box office of 470 million US dollars!

With the script and the accompanying investment, I should be able to get a piece of the pie.

At this time, Hollywood was not as unscrupulous as it was in the 90s, and Zhang Heng believed that effective financial and legal personnel would be sent to follow up and participate in the whole process, and Universal would not dare to make too many big moves.

After the success of this movie as in his previous life, Zhang Heng held the copyright of "Jaws", which is equivalent to occupying a gold mine, whether it is the periphery or the sequel, it will bring a steady stream of income.

For the success of the movie, even if Universal asks for a part of the copyright, he is willing to consider it.

But the copyright of the video game must all remain in his hands.

When the "Jaws" movie swept the world in 75, Daheng Technology launched a video game of the same name at the right time, what a wonderful scene it should be.

Thinking about it makes Zhang Heng unable to hold back the excitement in his heart!

It's going to be a video game that will go down in history, and with two years in advance, there's no going to repeat the mistakes of Atari's Aliens.

He is full of confidence in this!

Aliens, Star Wars, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, DC, Marvel ......

For a while, countless thoughts flashed through Zhang Heng's mind, and it was not until he felt Spielberg's puzzled gaze that he gathered his complicated thoughts and smiled at him: "I'm sorry, I was thinking about my spare funds just now." ”

"Are you serious?" Spielberg's eyes widened, and seeing Zhang Heng deliberately straighten his face, he hurriedly waved his hand to apologize, "I'm sorry, I originally thought that according to your age, you might not be able to use too much money." ”

Zhang Heng took out his business card and handed it over, Spielberg took it and looked at it, and muttered: "Director of Daheng Printing Paper, Daheng Printing Paper, I seem to have heard of it......"

"Post-mortem!"

"Oh my God, it turns out that the poster is made by your company. Spielberg slapped his forehead, and when he put it down again, his face was full of respect.

"I'm the inventor!" Zhang Heng said lightly.

Spielberg looked at him for a moment, then suddenly got up and ran over and put his arms around his shoulders.

"Zhang, you're so good, we'll have to take a photo later, I can show it to the two bosses when I go back, the inventor of the magic post, a handsome boy from the mysterious East, this is the biggest gain of my visit to Hawaii!"

Zhang Heng gently pushed him away and said with a smile: "I'm also very happy to take a photo with the future super director, but can you give me your business card now." ”

"Well, look, I didn't expect you to be so young, I'm so surprised!" Spielberg pulled out his business card and gave him his business card, and sat down and kept looking at him.

"Alright, Steven, you're going to misunderstand me if you look at me like that again. Zhang Heng smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Uh......" Spielberg was stunned and hurriedly looked around nervously.

Fortunately, there were not many people in the courtyard, and no one noticed the corner where they were, he breathed a sigh of relief, turned around to look at Zhang Heng, and didn't know what to say for a while.

"Steven, if your script is complete and your project needs investment, please contact me, I'm looking forward to receiving a call from you. ”

Zhang Heng got up and walked to the living room, he had received a huge surprise here, and it was time to complete the original task.
