Chapter Forty-Eight: Meeting

Spielberg is definitely one of Hollywood's greatest directors!

Of course, there will definitely be people who question this sentence, especially now in this era of people who like to overturn cases!

I wonder why so many people worship Steven Spielberg. Even use the word great to describe this as a mediocre Hollywood director. "Schindler's List" is obviously an overrated type, and it was made entirely for the sake of winning awards!

Apparently, Steven Spielberg had a lot of fun shooting political subjects one after another to confuse critics.

The previous "Munich" and "Lincoln" were all such mediocre works, and it was Oliver Stone who was really filming political themes!

If you want to see political themes, go to "JFK" and "Born on July 4".

Spielberg is using politics to promote the American set of theories. Judging from the fact that there is an American flag at the beginning of "Private Ryan", how hypocritical he is. ’

In some people's minds, Spielberg is certainly not as good as Stanley Kubrick.

But in the eyes of most viewers, and even Hollywood's top brass as a whole, Kubrick simply can't compare with Spielberg.

This is especially true for the Hollywood film industry.

To put it simply, Spielberg belongs to the founders of the Hollywood film industry.

Jaws, the creation and establishment of Hollywood's summer program. "E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial" that established a new sci-fi film style.

Both of these alone are a testament to his greatness and importance to the development of the Hollywood film industry as a whole!

When it comes to the importance of Hollywood as a whole, Spielberg is a big deal with Kubrick.

"Jurassic Park" and "Titanic" opened up the world market for Hollywood and completely promoted the globalization of Hollywood movies;

"Jaws" created Hollywood's summer model, which laid the foundation for Hollywood films to become popular all over the world.

Before "Jurassic Park", although Hollywood had the world's most eye-catching film industry and the most enviable North American market in the world, there were still rivals around the world, such as French films, Italian films including HK films.

At that time, HK movies were popular throughout Southeast Asia and East Asia, and there was an extremely vast overseas market.

It is impossible for many HK movies to return to their original costs just by relying on the local box office, but with a vast overseas market, they dare to play big productions!

Then, "Jurassic Park" came, directly raising the HK box office record from 4000 to 6000, which lasted for 20 years!

Looking at the big dinosaurs raging in the movie, the HK filmmakers really felt the despair!

The investment in "Jurassic Park" is enough to make these HK filmmakers so shocked that they want to cry!

Coupled with "Titanic" in 97, the HK movie was completely out of action.

……

Shen Lin certainly has a lot of respect for Spielberg.

He was always in awe of any of the seniors who actually made movies!

Arriving at the destination, Zhou Xiaohui and Spielberg sat on both sides of the sofa and talked happily.

"Hello, Mr. Steve. ”

Shen Lin hurriedly quickened his pace.

"Hello, Shen Lin!"

Zhao Liying also ran over with her husband and bowed in salute.

"This is Zhao Liying, I like your performance very much!"

Spielberg was very face-saving, and praised Yingbao to his face, and the latter was honestly afraid.

This is Spielberg, one of the few remaining masters in the world!

After a while, the two sat down.

Before sitting down, Shao Xiaofeng, director of the board of directors of Alibaba Pictures, complained very dissatisfied: "Director Shen, you are too much, the box office of "Operation Mekong" is 2.2 billion, and the big money is Bona!

"No, "Mekong" is Bona's project, and I also want to make a movie by Ali, isn't there no chance, so the next film will definitely be invested by Ali..."

Shen Lin is also a little embarrassed, although he joined Ali Pictures with the mentality of making a fortune and getting out, but the whole Ali is very good to him, and he will not mention the courtesy, and the key to the previous 'Shen Lin derailment Tong Liya incident' was also settled by others.

No matter what, you should also shoot a movie with a rewarding attitude!

"That's good, we bought a few big IPs, and you can pick one to direct when the time comes!"

Rich is awesome, and what people say is, 'Pick a director!'

"Okay, I'll take care of it. ”

Shen Lin nodded, and turned his gaze to Spielberg: "Mr. Steve, are you here to promote Jurassic World this time?"

"Almost, after all, the influence of "Jurassic World" in China is a little small. ”

Spielberg looked a little tired.

Nonsense, I flew from Lao Mei to China, and I rushed to the Ali building just after getting off the plane.

How is it possible not to get tired?

He is already a seventy-year-old man!

"Will you be there at the Magic Capital Film Festival tomorrow?"

"I have agreed to the invitation of the organizers and will definitely go. ”

"Okay, then we'll talk later. ”

……

The Magic City International Film Festival is the 18th this year.

With the rapid rise of the mainland film market, more and more people are beginning to notice this gold mine, and more and more people are rushing to China to participate in this annual gluttonous feast.

Although the Magic City Film Festival has been criticized for its selection of awards, that is, the legendary Golden Goblet Award, it has indeed driven the exchange of Chinese and foreign films.

Many awesome filmmakers have served as judges in the main competition unit of the Magic City Film Festival, such as Ang Lee, for example, the king of sunglasses.

However, with the establishment of the Peking International Film Festival, the magic capital is feeling the pressure!

There is no way, Beiping itself is the center of the Chinese film market, coupled with the intentional or unintentional support of the General Administration, the development speed of the Beiping Film Festival is like a wing.

800 million, 2.7 billion, 4.3 billion, 7.8 billion, 13.9 billion, the transaction volume during the Peking Film Festival directly made the world look sideways!

Fortunately, the Peking Film Festival did not set up a main unit competition, which made the magic capital take a breather.

On June 14th, the Magic City Film Festival officially announced that an in-depth dialogue will be held at the Magic City Grand Theater: 'Big Data Promotes Big Movies: Take You to Play and Take You Fly!' The two sides of the dialogue are Spielberg and Shen Lin!

The influence of these two people is not too much, and the number of spectators on the scene speaks for itself!

The Modu Grand Theater was full, but it still couldn't stop the enthusiasm of some audiences, and many people even stood in place to watch the exchange between the two filmmakers live.

"This uncle, do you understand English? Just squeeze in? The conversation between Shen Lin and Spielberg must be all in English!"

"Isn't there a translator?"

"Where's the translation? You think it's a movie?"

"What then, boy, could you please translate for me?"
