"Hello, DreamWorks office? This is the editorial office of Today's Morning Post, and we want to ......"

"Hello, Mr. Lawrence? This is the editorial office of Entertainment Weekly, and we have ...... to your company."

"Hello, is Miss Alice-Wang the director of your company? Can she take our ......?"

From early morning to sunset, there have been countless calls of this type for many days. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Info Lawrence just hung up on one of these kinds of calls and sat in his office and sighed helplessly.

"Sigh, I think that's actually a good thing."

The man sitting on the sofa with a thick beard and a book with a green cover in his hand is none other than Steven Spielberg, a famous Hollywood director who directed such masterpieces as "Jaws" and "E-T".

"The entertainment industry is a place to eat by fame, and since that Alice is now a director, it is of course a good thing to become famous. Like her current fame, which is what many cutting-edge directors dream of, becoming popular overnight, this is not an achievement that anyone can have. ”

As a close friend of the well-known director, Lawrence didn't need to hide his feelings at all, and sighed helplessly: "The problem is, I really regret the contract I signed with her now." Why didn't I invest at all? From its release to now, not to mention the five-month ultra-long schedule, the box office itself has reached 215 million. God, that's 200 million dollars! And I can't get any money except for the fraction of the publicity fee! ”

Looking at Lawrence's bitter melon face, to be honest, Spielberg really wanted to laugh at him. After all, the veteran venture capitalist on Wall Street in front of him has always had an amazing record, and anyone will inevitably have the idea of gloating if he can suffer such a big loss.

"Ahem, Roger, tell me your next thoughts. Alice can now be said to be the pillar of your company, although this movie ...... I can't say whether it depends on publicity or completely depends on quality to have such a high box office, but her fame is here now, and the second movie she made will not lose money. ”

Lawrence didn't strike up a conversation right away, but looked out the window.

"Look, there's a figure in that window!"

On the corner outside the building, a reporter shouted: "This is the fifth time today, it must be the general manager's office, keep an eye on it to see if Alice Wang will show up!" ”

At the same time, without saying a word, waste a piece of film first and then make other conclusions.

"Five, six...... Eight ah. ”

Lawrence was in the office building, looking condescendingly out the window at the street: "Eight reporters, who were out there 24 hours a day, in shifts, not just to find Alice, and now the whole DreamWorks is in their coverage." Gee...... I like it. ”

In the past five months, although Alice has gone to Chinese mainland as early as the end of December, Lawrence has witnessed the changes that this film has brought to the company. Just like today, Spielberg came for nothing else, just to see the scripts that were sent in by writers from all over the country.

As early as before the release of "Ghost Record", DreamWorks was just a new company with a registered capital of more than one million, and the entire Hollywood, not to mention that there could be a hundred companies of this scale at any time, could still make up a dozen in half a year. If it weren't for the release of this movie, how could it have received half a file cabinet of script manuscripts in a month?

"Well, this "Death of a Middle-Class Man" seems to be a bit interesting......"

Spielberg flipped through the manuscripts, one of which began with the following text: "My name is Lester Banning, and I'm going to die in a year, but I don't know ...... yet."

The script seemed interesting, but just as Spielberg was about to read on, the office door suddenly opened.

"Hey, Uncle Roger, I'm coming...... Who is this? ”

It's a Saturday morning, and she's dressed up in a neat denim and shirt, and a white baseball cap.

Seeing the girl's surprised look, Lawrence laughed and said, "Come on, Steven, let me introduce you, this is Alice." Alice, this is ......"

"Steven Spielberg, it's an honor to meet you, and I can't say it's an exaggeration to say you're a fan."

Alice stretched out her hand to Spielberg in surprise: "It turns out that you know Uncle Roger, I really didn't expect to see you here." ”

Spielberg also shook hands with her face full of surprise, and couldn't help nodding and said: "I already know your name, Alice, when we meet today, you are really an unusual girl, and this temperament is not something that everyone can have." ”

Alice snorted, and her voice suddenly dropped: "Don't be kidding...... This kind of fame in the entertainment industry is really a bit unbearable. Just look at the paparazzi outside, Uncle Roger, do you know how I got into the company? ”

Lawrence was about to ask this question, he looked out the window again and said, "What about the eight paparazzi outside, you should have noticed, that is, they turned over from the back of the building?" No, you have to go through the main entrance, right? ”

"It's okay to open the window."

Spielberg laughed and took the lead of the topic back into his own hands: "Alice, what book do you have in my hand?" ”

Alice naturally saw the book in his hand a long time ago, the green and black book cover was the latest version of her previous life, and she grinned: "Jurassic Park, is Mr. Spielberg planning to make it into a movie?" ”

Spielberg's eyes widened: "That's right, I talked to Roger about this earlier, but he told me that unless the director can draw dinosaurs directly with computer technology, you will never authorize it, is that the case?" ”

The original film director in front of her was right, and of course Alice was not surprised at all when she saw that the other party was interested in this book, so she replied cautiously: "Dinosaurs are large creatures, and it is not possible to rely on actors to play them in a skin like "Alien", but if they are directly replaced by robots, not to mention the cost, it is still too unrefined." But computer graphics is different, now is a period of great development of the IT industry, Lucas's industrial light and magic has his "Star Wars" as an example, with that kind of technology to shoot to shoot high-quality products, do you say? ”

Spielberg didn't expect it so much, his brows furrowed slightly at this time, and after a little contemplation, he said: "Indeed, Star Wars impressed me very much, especially the way the laser sword and laser gun fire in it. If you can make a dinosaur with that kind of technology, it will indeed be ...... than the mechanical skin of the skin."

"The key is the undulation and texture of the animal's skin as it breathes, which is something that cannot be achieved by a skin machine. The current audience is not the one who watched "King Kong" in the thirties, if the director is so foolish, whether this film can lose money or not depends on the plot itself~"

Lawrence sat behind his desk and was amused: "It's good to look at the plot itself, by the way, Alice, now that your "Ghost Record" has shocked the global entertainment industry, are you interested in participating in the interview?" Uncle will definitely arrange it for you. ”

Alice glanced at the newspaper on the table, which is also Murdoch's industry, which is all Australian print media, and the headline of the entertainment edition is publishing the news of the local release of "Ghost Shadow": "Forget it, isn't it just a director, I'm not an actress who wants to rely on exposure to ask other directors for the unspoken rules, and I can't cause those troubles." ”

As soon as these words came out, Lawrence laughed, but Spielberg looked at Alice with a depressed face, crying and laughing: "I said girl, are you really only thirteen years old?" I've wanted to ask this question for a long time...... Besides, you seem to have scolded me for this, right? ”

Of course, Alice knew that she had fired a super-large map cannon, so she smiled and changed the subject: "Speaking of which, this movie really made me a billionaire in one fell swoop, although I still have to give a lot of money to the theater." Uncle Roger, are you still interested in taking advantage of this excitement to make another one? I believe in the strength of director Spielberg, there must be no doubt about box office revenue, right? ”

Lawrence nodded vigorously: "Indeed, Raiders of the Lost Ark II, which was released in May, has achieved very good results, and the scripts of both parts are written by George Lucas himself. I said Steve, you don't have any plans to shoot a third part, do you? ”

Spielberg laughed, waved his hand and said: "It's enough to shoot two films in one go, if it is released in a short period of time, the audience will have aesthetic fatigue, and I will be tired." So...... Alice, since you're so good at writing books, why don't you write another screenplay? ”

Seeing the expectant gaze of the two together, Alice rubbed her temples with some headaches.

Movies can indeed make money quickly, and the 80s are indeed a gap period for classic movies, but many of their favorite movie actors have to grow up in the 90s and the new millennium. Now it's really difficult to let her throw another one.

"Don't be in a hurry, haha, don't be in a hurry, you just think about it slowly."

Seeing Alice rubbing her temples, Lawrence took it for granted that the girl was under pressure, and hurriedly said: "After all, you are only a middle school student, and classes on weekdays are the main business, so there is no rush for this kind of thing!" ”

Alice chuckled.
