Chapter 177, the sequel potential of the alien
When Alice returned, Frey was the first to step up and ask curiously, "What did you say to the people at Fawkes?"
Hannah followed up, blinking wide-eyed and saying, "Are you going to make a movie with Fox?
Spielberg had been paying attention to Alice and their talks, and had already seen Lex's surprised expression, and then he wondered: "It's definitely not Jurassic Park, right? With the current technology, making a dinosaur model is not expected to be much stronger than King Kong in the thirties, which is still two different from the steel spaceship of "Star Wars".

"Neither, neither. ”
Seeing that Sissi and Cameron also had a posture of talking, Alice shook her head and smiled: "I just asked Uncle Roger to get all the copyrights of "Alien". ”
"What!?"
Hearing Alice's fluttering words, everyone was stunned for a moment, only Frey reacted: "Alien copyright? Alice, what are you going to buy that kind of thing for?"
"What for...... Shoot sequels and make merchandise. ”
Alice was also a little confused by everyone's surprised expressions, you know, this is "Alien", the top classic sci-fi horror movie, the classic work of the famous director Ridley Scott. Is there any special reason for filming its sequel?
You know, although this 1979 movie seems to have a lot of unsatisfactory things in the later period due to the limited era, it is just a simple sci-fi set, and the horror atmosphere in the confined environment alone is extremely outstanding even in the 21st century!
Or from another angle, just looking at Ridley Scott's personal portfolio, you can feel what a great work "Alien" is. After "Alien", as far as Alice can remember, he has made more than 20 films, the most famous of which are "Blade Runner", "Flowers of the End", "Hannibal", "Black Hawk Down", "Prometheus", "The Martian", ...... Which one is not a classic?
And the density is so high......
"Alice, of course we know that your main purpose is to make a sequel, but the problem is not that simple. ”
Mr. Swan shook his head lightly and said, "Alien is a classic, and yes, I admit it's a very classic movie. But because it's classic and excellent, it's easy to spoil it by making a sequel casually. You only have to look at the entire history of Hollywood to know that we have hardly ever made a sequel to a movie, and if this kind of thing is done well, it will make a lot of money, but if it is smashed, it will be scolded to death by the audience. ”
Swan said very earnestly, and Alice saw that Frey also had a few expressions of approval, but a hint of disdain flashed between Cameron's eyebrows. It was fleeting, but it was very obvious to be caught by Alice.
It seems that Hollywood in the eighties was still very disciplined?
Alice was surprised to see that Swan could say this, but after thinking about it carefully, she was relieved.
After all, it has not yet reached the era of the information explosion, and the discipline of people in the industry is indeed relatively high. But when the timeline entered the 90s, after the global GDP increased exponentially driven by the Internet and computers, the people's desire to watch movies and their ability to pay also increased proportionally......
You know, after all, this is a place where making money is the essence, and those series of commercial films ......
The cold rice of "Ghost Street" was fried to the eighth part, and then Freddy and Jason fought like this kind of thing happened, what else is impossible?
"So, that's an upfront investment. ”
Alice smiled: "Mr. Swan, at least you can't deny that "Alien" is a classic, right? ”
That's true, but the risk of investment failure is enough to discourage most people. Swan looked thoughtfully at the corner of the ballroom, where Fox executives were whispering something to Lawrence, clearly engaged.
"yes, I almost forgot that Lawrence was originally a venture capital agent. ”
"yes, it's just another venture. In my opinion, "Alien" is the movie with the most potential for a sequel, after all, the stage given by Scott is too small and too big. Who's right, everyone?"
Frey shook her lips lightly and nodded slowly: "That's true, the dormant system of the space merchant ship, the cyborg with white blood, the asteroid that stores thousands of alien eggs, and the monster itself ......"
She looked at Alice with blazing eyes, and her expression was full of admiration that could not be concealed: "Alice, your summary is really in place. The small stage is also a very huge stage, so when you think about it, director Scott is indeed very talented. By the way, Dad, shall we ask Scott to make another movie?"
Then the father and daughter chatted on their own, and when the two of them separated from the small group, Spielberg said, "Then Alice, you and Miss Lawrence continue to play with yours, and I'll go first." ”
When the others were gone, Sissi grabbed Alice's arm.
"Yo, what's wrong?"
Feeling that Sissi's arms were stronger, Alice was a little surprised.
"I hate that Frey, let's get away. ”
Sissi glanced at the girl who was as dazzling as a flame rose with dissatisfaction, and took Alice's hand and was about to walk into the distance: "Hannah, do you want to have something with us? ”
Hannah shook her head: "I went to Oscar, he just went to the bathroom, and he hasn't come back yet." ”
Alice laughed: "That kid won't fall into the pit, right!?"
Hannah walked away, Spielberg was nowhere to be seen, and Mr. Lawrence was getting better with Fox executives, and it was not easy for others to get in. The banquet hall was still a scene of singing and dancing, surrounded by the soft singing and laughter of the guests of honor, and the bands invited to play live still sang loudly on the stage, and from time to time attracted bursts of applause from the nearby audience.
Alice was entangled: "I said Sissi, that Frei doesn't seem to offend you, right, what are you doing with a pout?"
Sissi almost forcibly dragged her to the buffet area, "You've been talking to Mr. Swan, that Frey, I've been paying attention to the way she looks at you." ”
Saying that, Sissi shook fiercely: "She must be a Lala, or she has a tendency to be Lala, that look, my God, gentle enough to be sweet to death!"
"Ah...... Yes...... Yes...... Are you sure?"
Alice swallowed and foamed, and even Sissi only subconsciously caught the plate when she handed it to her: "You said that Frei has always been very gentle...... Look at me?"
Sissi widened her eyes and flicked her jet-black hair, "What, you bastard looks like you're happy?"
Alice looked at Ji You's appearance with a smile: "How can I be happy? But Sissi, you look like you're jealous now, have you noticed it yourself?"
Sissi's eyes suddenly flickered, and then she cut off: "I'm just jealous, can't I?" You don't know that Frey, why does she look at you with that weird look?"
Seeing that Alice's expression became more and more strange, she paused, and her eyes drifted again: "Okay, I admit that the way you talked about it just now is really cool, and ordinary little girls are easily fascinated." So, it's not surprising that even if that Frey suddenly falls in love with you...... I'm just jealous anyway!"
As she spoke, Sissi's face even turned red.
But Alice wasn't much better than her.
"Hmph~"
After a pause, Alice pulled Sissi's arm harder: "Of course you should be jealous~ Don't forget my dear, you are the girlfriend I have been pursuing for several days to get my hands on, when other girls suddenly appear next to me and look at me with admiration, it is normal for you to be jealous, I can understand it~"
"Hey, when did I say I was in love? Can you not be so cheeky?"
"Didn't I say it? Cheekiness is a must for pursuing girls. ”
"That's a prerequisite for boys to chase girls, okay?
The bickering that should have continued, but this time, Alice took the initiative to be silent.
Sissi blinked, "What's wrong?"
The silence only lasted for a moment, and Alice touched her chin: "You actually have a point, it seems that I still have to adjust my mentality." It's not been a day or two since I was scolded and obscene by you, but I'm a person who is determined to be a goddess, and at the current pace, I'm afraid I'm going to become a woman!"
Let's thank you for the breadth and depth of the English language.
Although Sissi is French and English is a foreign language to her, far less proficient than Alice's native language, she also understands the meaning of those two special words very clearly.
"Poof. ”
She snorted, "Fool." ”
"Hey, I'm determined to be a goddess, call me a fool, can you afford it?"
"Hey, Alice, you've been found. ”
"Don't change the subject!"
"Really, Cameron is here. ”
"Huh?"
Alice looked in surprise at the corner of the banquet hall, where a white-haired man was speeding through the layers of crowds towards him.
And this scene also fell into the eyes of another person from a distance.
"What's wrong, Frey?"
Seeing his daughter suddenly in a daze, Swan was a little curious: "What do you think?"
"Ah, it's all right, Daddy, it's just a cranky idea. ”
Ben smiled softly, but after Swan's eyes turned away again, Frey sighed softly.
Then she looked in Alice's direction again, but this time she didn't find anyone. (To be continued.) )
