"I've admired the name for a long time, director Coppola, it's nice to meet you, I'm Walter Volt, just call me Walter. ”

Seeing the pioneer of the film industry of the Godfather trilogy in front of him, Walter was very happy to stretch out his hand and say hello, for this kind of big director who attaches equal importance to the box office and word of mouth, according to his standards, he must pay enough attention.

"Hello, Walter, just call me Francis. I'm glad you can see the sparkle in George, I think he has all the abilities of other great directors, but he's just been waiting for someone else to find out. Coppola shook hands with Walter and looked at Lucas beside him in admiration.

"Okay, Francis, so I'm indeed Lucas's second Bole?"

"What does that mean?"

"Well...... A proverb from distant China says that during the Spring and Autumn Period in ancient China, there was a man named Bole, who was known for his good horses, and often found people buried as good horses as good horses......

"Oh, that's a funny name, but George isn't the horse, or else, what are we?" Coppola laughed, then patted Lucas's body and said, "Right! George!"

"Yes, I'm not a horse!" Lucas echoed with an innocent face spread out his hands at the right time, his eyes and movements amused, which made everyone present laugh when they saw it.

"Interesting! Funny!" Coppola clapped his hands and laughed, then suddenly thought of something, looked at Walter and asked, "You turned out to be George's second Bole, what about the first one?"

"The first one?" Walter frowned, seemingly incredulous, and then looked at Coppola very seriously and said, "Don't you know?"

"What do I know?" asked Coppola, his eyes wide, his eyes revealing a lot of confusion.

"George's first Bole, naturally, is you, Francis. ”

"It's me?" Coppola muttered to himself, first stunned and even more puzzled, and then suddenly reacted, clapping his hands and saying, "I'm really George's first Bole...... Walter, you're such an interesting person!"

"No, I'm just a truth-teller? Am I wrong?"

"How is that possible? Of course you're right!"

……

Lucas and Coppola had a deep friendship, and when he was young, Lucas, like countless American teenagers, was obsessed with motorsports that was popular at the time and liked to drive over the speed limit. This is reflected all the time in "American Painting", and Lucas has always reflected himself with the love of young people for cars, especially speeding.

However, when the great American actor James Dean - James Dean, due to speeding, accidentally collided with a Ford car, which eventually led to the crash of the car and the death of the driving accident, the accident killed Dean at the same time, but also made Lucas give up his racing hobby, so he studied hard, and was subsequently admitted to the film department of the University of Southern California. Later, when Lucas was a student at the University of Southern California, he met Coppola, the film director who would later direct The Godfather, and became a good friend with him.

It was very pleasant to have the first meeting and interaction with Coppola and Lucas, and Walter then chatted with them and the Disney executives next to him.

Of course, from beginning to end, in the face of Coppola, Walter did not make other requests, such as inviting him to Disney. Because Walter knows that before the Godfather trilogy is completely out, this is just a delusion, after all, now that "The Godfather" was a big success last year, unless Coppola has a brain in the water, he will make other movies after that, and it's not just him, even Paramount, who signed the contract behind his back, will not let Coppola go, at least wait for the sequel of "The Godfather" to be dispatched.

Thinking that the copyright of "The Godfather" was bought by Paramount early, Walter had to sigh that Paramount could rise after the decline, and once stood in the limelight, standing at the top of Hollywood, and they saw the future early, invested in high-concept films like "The Godfather", and achieved great success with simple and powerful stories and large-scale publicity.

It seems that the tyrant of Disney and his friends, who stayed in Paramount during this time, were the ones who brought these experiences to Disney after Paramount figured out this model, and then Disney's rapid rise after finding the right direction, and the tyrant used the loopholes in the corporate system after gaining the trust of Disney's top management, constantly mastered Disney's grassroots power, and finally almost turned Disney into his own company.

However, it is clear that now with his arrival, the tyrant has no place for him, and as for Disney, it will also open its secret to success in advance in its own hands, and finally use it for itself.

Walter thought proudly, although this is shameless, but there is no doubt that the tyrant's road to success is worth learning from, and letting himself completely master Disney can avoid some detours. Wait, it seems that Paramount is also facing an acquisition later, should I eat it at that time? In this case, a batch of excellent movies like "The Godfather" are in my hands, after all, it is "The Godfather......

Just as Walter was still chatting with Disney executives and fantasizing about himself, two figures in suits and leather shoes walked up to them, and the bald young man behind them, with a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and a smile on his face, caught Walt's attention.

"Hi Roy, congratulations, such a great result. "It was another middle-aged man who came to greet him, and he was obviously very familiar with Roy.

"Thank you, Zelman, the world is not bad, the outside world is very optimistic about your "Liar". Roy was obviously very familiar with this person, and hurriedly greeted him.

After listening to the conversation between the two, Walter realized who this person was, Wa Zelman, an American music company and the head of MCA Universal.

As for the other person, after Roy and Zelman greeted him, Zelman introduced him to the crowd: "This is Duel - the director of "Duel", Steven Allan Spielberg - Steven Spielberg. ”

Sure enough, it was him, and Walter squinted as if he had found another good horse, looking at the smiling young man.
