Chapter Fifty-Eight: Your Star Wars
A few days later, in the Disney headquarters in Burbank, Walter pressed the elevator with a tired face and bumped into Ron Miller, who was also going upstairs, who had obviously just arrived at the headquarters.
"Morning, Uncle Miller!" Walter glanced at the other party and nodded, there were only two of them in the elevator, so there was no need to call them so formal, after all, the two were also a family.
"Hmm!" Miller replied, undeniable, and then asked as the elevator went up, "How's that Chinese movie of yours?"
"Good, good, everything went as expected. Walter replied insincerely, he didn't want to be seen by Ron Miller, who had always turned to Roy Disney and regarded himself as a hostile enemy for power.
Although Allen was sent to Hong Kong by the board of directors to supervise, he would only pay attention to the financial accounts, and obviously would not report what happened to him in Hong Kong, and Robert, not to mention, as his direct subordinate who had just been recruited, he didn't even have his own connections at Disney, how could he report it, so Disney didn't know what happened to Walter in Hong Kong at all.
With a "ding", Miller reached the floor, turned around and glanced at Walter coldly: "Remember that you are not surnamed Disney, don't get too close to Roy's guy, Disney has no place for you." ”
Watching Miller leave, Walter glanced at the guy who was destined to not be able to stay at Disney, too lazy to bother with him, for him it was the last word to make a fortune quietly.
Walking into his office, Walter glanced at Molly, who was handling affairs, and said, "Have I made another appointment recently?"
"No, there are some documents that you need to sign, and I have already placed them in your office. ”
"Okay, by the way, when is Mr. Lucas coming?"
"It's about ten o'clock, and it's going to be soon. ”
"Okay, invite him in when you come. Walter glanced at his watch, and after seeing that the hands were approaching "10", he nodded and commanded.
"Okay, boss!"
Entering the office, Walter threw himself on the desk and rested well, not that he was weak, but he was tossed by Basinger a few days ago, and his body did not recover well at all.
Knock! Knock!
"Please come in!"
While he was still resting, there was a knock on the door, and as Fu Quan subconsciously shouted, he saw a young white man with a black bushy beard and a pair of black-rimmed glasses that looked a little dirty and scum, and his face was a little apprehensive.
Thinking of this young man's name, Walter felt a burst of pride in his heart, the world dropped money for him to pick up, and it was a waste for him not to pick it up, because this young man's name was George Lucas.
In the office, as the young female secretary named Molly left with a cup of warm bitter coffee for herself, Lucas looked up at the very young assistant director of Disney film productions in front of him.
If it weren't for the authenticity of the other party's identity, Lucas might have thought he was a liar, because the director named Walter Volt was so young that he should be about the same age as him.
"Hello, Mr. Walter, I'm George Lucas, thank you for enjoying my script, I'm hesitant right now, after all, the future of science fiction movies is really not good......"
"It's alright, George, you can just call me Walter, did you bring the script? ”
"Okay, Walter. ”
Walter suddenly interrupted Lucas, who was still at a loss, and said straight to the point, today's meeting, he is looking forward to no less than Lucas, who is looking for investors at the moment, after all, this is a famous entertainment boss in the future.
But obviously, at this moment, because of the difference in identity, Lucas is still very respectful to Walter, think about it, after all, Walter is a financier to Lucas and an investor in the movie.
Unless Lucas is willing to give up everything and never want to make movies again, otherwise, without funds, he can't make anything if he has a script in time, and funding is naturally available to Hollywood producers like Walter.
Although in his previous life, Walter was only interested in beautiful stars in Europe and the United States, but this did not prevent him from knowing the man in front of him. This is the thigh of the two cash cows that later created the "Star Wars" series and "Industrial Light and Magic", if you don't take it now, will you sit back and wait to make a fortune for others?
Of course it's impossible, so two days ago, in order to fulfill his agreement with Basinger, Walter returned to Disney, and other documents that needed to be handled by him were not processed, so he directly investigated the scripts of various movies that he had recently sought investment.
It's just that it was really like the world fell a little stupid, and he was thrilled to find out that George Lucas, the name translated as George Lucas.
Originally, Walter thought it was a coincidence, and the person seeking investment from Disney was just the same name and surname as the person in his memory, but he was confirming this Lucas's information. After conforming to the thigh in his memory, Walter decisively sent someone to contact Lucas, saying that he wanted to invest in his script and asked him to talk to him in person.
After all, no matter what, he can't miss any opportunity, only after meeting once, Walter can understand whether the other party is the guy in his memory.
Until now, looking at the appearance of the young version of Lucas in front of him, who was obviously the later Lucas, Walter had no doubts in his heart, and immediately determined that this was the person in his heart.
It's just that when Lucas took out his script, Walter's face suddenly collapsed, this is not "Star Wars"!
On the cover of the script, the English character "American Graffiti" with the name of the script clearly visible is printed - after the American style painting, Walter really saw the hell in his heart.
What's going on?
What about Star Wars?
Why didn't Lucas give himself Star Wars?
Is it this "American Style Painting" that I don't even know?
……
All kinds of questions kept popping up in Walter's heart, you must know that he hoped to establish his status in Disney with a quality epoch-making movie, but this "American Style Painting" is obviously not his cup of tea.
"George, do you only have this script right now, and what about your Star Wars?"
In the end, Walter still couldn't hold back the doubts in his heart and opened his mouth, compared to "American Style Painting", it was obvious that "Star Wars" fascinated him more.
