After the day's filming was over, Chen Tiandu couldn't wait to send the script into Tom Hanks's room, and then ......

Then there was no information. The wait was a week, and although he was in a hurry, he didn't ask anything for the week.

The day was still the same, the crew continued to shoot as intensely as usual, but when Tom Hanks was finished, he suddenly came over and said, "Your script is great." ”

"Thank you."

Chen Tiandu was a little puzzled, why did he suddenly say this, and suddenly thought of a possibility in his heart, could it be ...... But he still habitually pretended to be stupid first, and replied to the question: "Otherwise, Director Spielberg would not have taken a fancy to it." ”

Tom Hanks shook his head and said, "It's not this script, I'm talking about 'The Sixth Sense'." I watched it three times in a row, and it made me want to invest. ”

"Ah~~" Chen Tiandu suddenly understood, and his heart was ecstatic.

"You don't have to worry, I've already recommended it to Steven. In his eyes, he said that the script is very good, it shouldn't be wrong, and he should find you after a while. But you have to know that Steven is so focused on Saving Private Ryan that he doesn't like other people to be distracted. ”

"Thank you, idol, I know, so I haven't looked for Mr. Spielberg for the past few months."

"If you have any questions, come to me directly, maybe I'll help, maybe not, hehe." The actor patted him on the shoulder, smiled evilly and left.

DreamWorks has finally arrived, and it's an unexpected character - Jeffrey Katzenberg comes with an assistant himself.

In the United States, in California, there are countless film companies, the most famous are naturally the eight major companies in Hollywood history, including MGM, Paramount, Columbia, Warner Bros., Universal, United America, 2O Century Fox, and Disney; Of course, after so many years of evolution, with the "Paramount case", the law ruled that film companies cannot own theaters and movie theaters, and with the end of the era of big studios, the prestige of the eight major companies has long been gone.

They may become part of a media conglomerate, such as Paramount's acquisition by Viacom; Or continue to struggle to support, insisting on the identity of an independent production company, but at any time it will fall into a huge deficit, like MGM. However, they are still the bosses of the Hollywood film industry and the makers of commercial blockbusters.

And DreamWorks, which has only been emerging for a few years, can be ranked in the top ten in Hollywood, which is full of strong players, all thanks to the strong energy of the DreamWorks "SKG" triumvirate, "S" is Steven Spielberg, he rarely meets opponents in this era, so I won't say much.

The "K" of the Big Three is Jeffrey Katzenberg, an American businessman and filmmaker, CEO of DreamWorks Animation, and chairman of Walt Disney Studios from 1984 to 1994.

Fluent eloquence helped Jeffrey Katzenberg, a Manhattan native with only a secondary school education, climb to the top of the entertainment industry. Although he didn't start out with a small amount of capital, it took him decades to build a network that eventually helped him establish one of the most prestigious film companies, now DreamWorks Animation.

The "G" of the Big Three is the richest person in the entertainment industry in the world, and he is also a Jew, and his funds are the foundation to ensure the rapid rise of DreamWorks.

"Christmas, we've heard your name many times, and today we finally met the real person." Jeffrey Katzenberg is a bald man, although he is in a high position, he has no sense of oppression, he doesn't look good when he laughs, his red gum flesh is exposed, and he has a pair of short-sighted glasses all year round, which makes him even more approachable.

Chen Tiandu smiled and shook his hand: "Mr. Katzenberg, it's a pleasure to meet you." In our Chinese words, it is a long time to hear its name, like thunder, to see it today, and to be fortunate in three lives. ”

"I am flattered by the magical Chinese Chinese, I have always been interested in ancient Chinese culture, and we can discuss it when we have the opportunity."

"My pleasure."

Katzenberg smiled, "Sit down and talk, I'm sure you know what I'm here for." ”

Originally, I was thinking about whether to pull the skin for a while, fight the official tone, and pull the east and the west, in this regard, they are Chinese are the ancestors, but I didn't expect the other party to be so straightforward, and they went straight to the topic as soon as they met.

Fortunately, Chen Tiandu didn't have much confidence to defeat this guy in eloquence, and nodded: "The new picture company has contacted me before and wants to buy the script, but that is not my intention." Even if you find me now, it is not my intention. I was going to hand it to the director after the filming of "Saving Private Ryan" so that it wouldn't disturb the shooting, but the idol helped me a lot when he found out about my situation. ”

"Idols?" Katzenberg was confused.

"Oh, that's what we call Mr. Tom Hanks." Chen Tiandu explained and asked, "So is DreamWorks willing to invest in "The Sixth Sense"?" ”

Katzenberg's usual toothy smile, "We were intrigued by the script for 'The Sixth Sense,' and it's an excellent story. Although the subject matter is a paranormal horror genre that DreamWorks has never touched before, we are willing to give it a try. ”

Such a classic script, sent to any company will attract attention, they are unlikely to give up. In fact, when DreamWorks received Chen Tiandu's script again, it was more surprised than gained.

The script, the book of a play. Hollywood screenwriters don't earn much, but the film company's emphasis on scripts is one of the best.

If Chen Tiandu happened to write the script of "Saving Private Ryan", there was still an element of luck, but then he came up with a script of such quality as "The Sixth Sense", which was enough to attract attention.

"You don't accept selling the script separately, so do you want to direct it yourself? It's a lot of risk, and with all due respect, you're not even 23 years old, and you haven't even graduated from a comedy school in China, and you've only been in the U.S. for less than half a year. You know, the way the U.S. shoots is completely different from the way China shoots......"

“no！ no！ ”

Chen Tiandu suddenly shook his head and interrupted him, "This is a prerequisite, if this can't be achieved, we don't need to waste time." As for whether or not I have the ability to direct a film on my own, I don't think that's a problem. To tell you the truth, movies have been shown in my head from the first second to the last, including "Saving Private Ryan". To put it mildly, I was able to shoot all the shots that Spielberg needed. ”

"Oh? "Saving Private Ryan" is not easy to film. Katzenberg was surprised that this young man was not at all as modest as the Chinese.

But he is cunning and cunning, he will not let Chen Tiandu take the initiative, and said with a faint smile: "It's good to be confident, many young people are very confident, but some things that seem easy will not be so easy to do by yourself, otherwise there wouldn't be only one Spielberg in this world." ”

Chen Tiandu said: "I don't think I belong to that category. Mr. Katzenberg, maybe you should get to know me from the rest of the crew first, at least to know that I'm an ambitious young man, and an ambitious young man is usually stubborn. A stubborn young man who travels thousands of miles to the other side of the world sometimes represents a certain determination. ”

"Are we going to continue on the question of whether or not to direct?"

The opponent was a little impatient, which was a good thing for Katzenberg on the other side of the negotiation, but Chen Tiandu's insistence on directing still made him frown. He could feel the firmness in this young man's heart, did he want to continue to entangle?

He wisely chose to change the subject, "Okay, Steven does praise you, but as producers we have to think about it more and more comprehensively. Tell us what you think? ”

Chen Tiandu was overjoyed, took out the materials he had prepared earlier, spread them out on the table, and said, "4ooo investment budget, this is my expectation." Including my script fee of 15o yuan, director fee of 2oo yuan, starring salary of 1oo yuan, plus 1o% of the full revenue share, this figure also includes audio and video products and TV on demand. ”

"No, no, young man, you don't talk like that!"
