Wang Jie stayed quietly on the farm, and he was not going out before Christmas.

This year's Christmas, Wang Jie is going to take everyone to Los Angeles, and he is ready to buy the Los Angeles Lakers before Jerichs, anyway, it is just a small amount of money for Wang Jie, who has just received a large box office dividend.

On December 22, three days before Christmas, two guests arrived at William's Farm, George Lucas and his friend Steven Spielberg.

Wang Jie received them warmly. The maid in the parlor brought the coffee and retreated, and Spielberg said, "Master William, I heard that Hal Barwood's play "Contact of the Third Kind" was bought by you, and I don't know if it can be transferred to me. ”

Wang Jie took a sip of coffee, he didn't like the taste of coffee very much, but liked tea very much. Wang Jie put down the cup and said: "I will not transfer the script, if you come to direct, I can invest." ”

"But I've already negotiated the terms with Columbia Pictures......"

Wang Jie interrupted Steven Spielberg, "That's your problem, if you agree, the publisher can leave it to Fox." After that, he ignored Spielberg and turned to talk to George Lucas about the sequel to Star Wars.

Lucas glanced at his good friend helplessly, he had already reminded Spielberg before he came, don't treat Wang Jie as a child, after all, he is the largest individual shareholder of Fox and belongs to the predators at the top of the Hollywood power list.

Steven Spielberg is actually a white supremacist, and he is a businessman by nature, and he has made many anti-China remarks in the original time and space, and immediately overturned all previous remarks after China rose to become the world's second largest vote base. Everyone in Hollywood knows that Steven Spielberg is a director when he picks up the director's tube, and he is a businessman when he puts down the director's tube.

The success of "Jaws" made Spielberg a little fluttering at this time, who previously thought that Wang Jie was just a lucky yellow-skinned ghost, and subconsciously ignored the fact that Wang Jie was half Jewish, and now he realized that he was very wrong.

After all, the United States is a country where money reigns supreme.

"I'm sorry Master William, I'm a little abrupt! I don't know what the conditions are for me to direct?" In front of interests, Steven Spielberg is also a person who can afford to let go.

Wang Jie will not fall out with Steven Spielberg, after all, the other party will be a Hollywood super director in the future, and Wang Jie will have many things to rely on him in the future.

"It's okay, Mr. Spielberg, after all, there are some things you can't help yourself, but I hope to be able to join the group to learn this movie, of course, I'm just curious about the filming process of the movie, I won't cause you any trouble, everything will be based on you after the crew is completed. Wang Jie originally wanted to find an opportunity to learn about movies, Steven Spielberg is the most suitable leader, Spielberg is a famous fast shooter in Hollywood, and the shooting time is short and the quality and quantity can be guaranteed. If Wang Jie and James Cameron learn from each other, keep the anger and vomit blood, and a film will be filmed for several years, then Wang Jie will not have to do anything.

Spielberg thought for a moment and said, "No problem, I'm welcome to join you." ”

On December 24, 1976, Wang Jie took everyone to Los Angeles on Christmas Eve. Last month, the United States welcomed one of its worst presidents, James Earl Carter. After checking the information from the supercomputer, Wang Jie found that the most suitable for Jimmy Carter is to be a diplomat.

This Christmas has passed without waves, Wang Jie and everyone are a year older, and after getting along for more than a year, the girls have long regarded each other as relatives, studying together, practicing together, and the superior life has also made them gradually forget their former home.

As soon as New Year's Day passed, Wang Jie asked the old butler to contact Jack Cook, at this time the NBA professional league teams were not very valuable, and the favorite sport of Americans was American football (football), and basketball was only ranked fourth in this era. Jack Cook had long wanted to sell the team to develop other industries, one wanted to buy, the other wanted to sell, and the two sides quickly reached a consensus, and in the end, Wang Jie bought the Lakers for $15 million.

After many disasters and difficulties in 1976, China finally ushered in the spring breeze of 1977. Wang Jie knew that Deng Gong would be in charge of Qiankun this year, and since then Huaxia has begun to develop in the fast lane.

Wang Jie is still ready to take everyone to Xiangjiang to spend this year's Spring Festival, but in the past two or three months, he will spend it in Alabama, because "The Third Kind of Contact" has started filming, and he wants to join the group to study.

In late 1973, Spielberg signed a contract with Columbia Pictures to make a science fiction film, with Michael Phillips and Julia Phillips as producers. Spielberg originally planned to make a documentary or a low-budget film about UFO believers, but he later changed his mind and decided to make a film that relied on technical skills, and the film was named "Watch the Skies", in December 1973, Spielberg hired Paul Schrader to write the screenplay, and planned to start filming at the end of 1974, and then Spielberg postponed the filming of "Watch the Skies" because of the preparation for "Jaws". During the preparation stage, Spielberg had a disagreement with screenwriter Schrader, and the former immediately approached John Hill to rewrite the script, but Hill's script was also rejected by Spielberg. Hal Barwood and Matthew Robbins suggested child abduction, and Spielberg began writing the script himself, and his writing style was heavily influenced by "When You Wish upon a Star," the theme song of the film Pinocchio. The title of the film was later changed to "Close Encounters of the Third Kind", and Dr. J. Allen Henick, who worked with the U.S. Air Force on Project Blue Book, served as the film's scientific advisor.

At this time and space, after Wang Jie heard about the shooting plan, he took advantage of Spielberg's lack of time for "Jaws", and found Hal Barwood to write the script in advance, and after registering with the screenwriters' union, it was publicized through various channels, and finally won the copyright of "The Third Kind of Contact".

In order not to fall out with Columbia Pictures, which was also one of the eight major Hollywood companies (at this time United States was not bankrupt), during this time, after negotiating with Columbia Pictures, which came to the door later, the film was finally co-produced by Twentieth Century Fox Pictures and Columbia Pictures, and the distribution was handed over to American Broadcasting Corporation (English full name: American Broadcasting Corporation, Inc, abbreviated as ABC), with an investment of 10 million US dollars each.
