Chapter Ninety-Seven: What a Cool Name

After successfully signing the film and television rights of "Atlantic Empire", Xiansen rushed to DreamWorks non-stop, it was the middle of January, the temperature in Los Angeles was only about three or four degrees above zero, wearing a Christmas gift from Rachel - a sky blue sweater, Xiansen walked to Hollywood, where the headquarters of DreamWorks is located.

Prior to this, Bella Marceau had already made an appointment with David Geffen, one of the founders of DreamWorks, an entertainment tycoon who came out of the slums, and despite the fact that there were many things going on, he still found time to meet him.

Coming to the DreamWorks headquarters building again, looking at the signboard of "SKG", Xiansen couldn't help but laugh, remembering that the last time he came over, he was sent by a department manager, and this time he made an appointment directly

Major shareholder, this earth-shaking change sounds fantastic.

Straightening the collar of his sweater, Xiansen stepped into the DreamWorks building with a smile on his face.

The temperature in the building was very high, and as soon as the electric glass door was closed, a sultry air flow hit his face, and this sudden temperature difference made Xiansen very uncomfortable. Putting down the high collar of his sweater, Xiansen walked towards the reception lady who was standing there at the front desk.

"Do you have an appointment?"

The front desk lady was looking at the magazine in a daze, and when she sensed someone coming, she asked casually. Christmas had just passed, and the company's work plans had not yet started during this period, and most of the personnel were still resting, so the girl deserted during working hours.

"Ahem"

Seeing this reception without raising her head, Xiansen coughed slightly a few times to remind her that she was going to start work.

"Oops, is there a reception?"

The front desk lady closed the magazine in her hand impatiently, then raised her head, and her voice became smaller and smaller the moment she saw Xiansen, and then stopped abruptly.

"Uh, hello, excuse me, are you Mr. Mister?"

The front desk lady swallowed her saliva in disbelief, and then looked at Xiansen with a pitiful look in fear, as if begging the other party not to hit her little report in front of the boss. Shrugged helplessly, Xiansen nodded lightly.

"Huh? I'm sorry, Mr. Mister, I just "

I didn't want to listen to this girl's explanation, Xiansen didn't have time to waste on this kind of thing, so he interrupted directly: "Where is David Geffin, I remember that I seem to have made an appointment." ”

"Oh, the boss is waiting for you in the conference room, please come with me."

After speaking, the reception lady led Xiansen to a room, and after helping him push open the door, she whispered quickly: "Mr. Mister, please don't tell our boss about my rudeness." ”

Hearing this, Xiansen didn't say anything, nodded, and gave the girl a reassuring answer.

Walking into the conference room, David Geffen was already sitting there, with two cups of steaming coffee on the table, and when he saw Xiansen come in, this man who looked quite honest stood up and walked over with two cups of coffee.

"Hi Mister, David Geffen!"

Handing a cup of coffee to Xiansen's hand, David took the initiative to introduce himself.

"Thank you."

After taking the coffee, Xiansen thanked him, then shook David's hand and said with a smile: "Mister Sen, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

After some pleasantries, the two of them found a seat facing each other and sat down, they were both busy people, and time was precious, so they chatted a long story short.

"Mr. David, I heard that DreamWorks is planning to make a movie about secret agents recently? I don't know if the director has decided on it? ”

Xiansen went straight to the point: "I came here for this movie this time, and I want to direct this movie." ”

David Geffen knew the purpose of Xiansen's trip, and this meeting was meaningless, because the director of the film should have been scheduled if there was no accident, but out of interest in Xiansen, David Geffen still arranged this meeting, for him, just to get close to this young man who created the box office miracle of R-rated films.

"Truth be told, Mr. Mister, Steven was very interested in the film, and you know, most of the things in terms of filming are up to him."

Of course, Xiansen knows, because Steven Spielberg is one of the founders of DreamWorks, and it can be said that DreamWorks was developed and developed by him. Now that the boss is interested in movies, and this boss has blown himself up in all aspects, the possible surnames that Xiansen wants to direct this movie are almost infinitely close to zero.

For this situation, Xiansen was already very clear before he came, but infinite proximity does not mean that it is equivalent to zero, and there is still a little opportunity here that Xiansen can obtain, that is, the schedule!

Bella Marceau will not let Xiansen come to be rejected for no reason, she told Xiansen that Steven Spielberg will put almost all his mind into a movie called "Minority Report" before June this year, and the most important thing is that Steven Spielberg wants to show a new visual effect through this movie, for which he has created a luxurious cast and production lineup!

Starring Tom Cruise, Colin Farrell, Shamantha Morton, Marcos von Sedo, Royce Smith and many other Hollywood A-listers join in! As for the production lineup, it is even more luxurious, including Oscar-winning cinematographer Janaz Kaminsky (who has filmed "Schindler's List" and "Saving Private Ryan"); Oscar-winning editor Michael Kahn (who has directed "Ark of the Law" and "Saving Private Ryan"); Prop designer Alex McDowell (for Fight Club) and Oscar-winning costume designer Deborah L. Scola for Titanic.

At the same time, Steven Spielberg also worked with ILM, bringing in visual effects executive producer Scott Faller (who produced "Artificial Intelligence") and Oscar winner Michael Lantery (who worked on "Jurassic Park") as the film's practical effects director, and Brian Smoz (who played in "Mission Impossible 2") to coordinate a lot of practical work.

These things are announced in detail on the official website of DreamWorks, and it can be said that this time Steven Spielberg's ambition is not only to stop at the box office, but also to create new ways of expression, and to become a leader of the visual revolution. For this reason, Steven will definitely not be distracted from other things until the movie is released.

And this is the slightest opportunity for Xiansen.

"Mr. David, I know Steven wants to direct this film, but, for now, he can't seem to be distracted by anything else, you know, it's a lot of time and effort to make a classic movie. I don't think Steven will put down his work for the sake of this movie. ”

Xiansen said, took a sip of coffee, and quietly watched David Geffen's reaction.

"Mister, Steven really can't be distracted, but this movie doesn't have to be made right away, I think we can wait until he's done with everything."

David's words Xiansen did not believe that since the filming plan of the movie has been rumored now, some relevant preparations must have been carried out, and the longer the preparation cycle, the more investment in the movie! So, in Xiansen's view, maybe it wasn't Steven Spielberg who wanted to make this movie, but someone else, such as the other two major shareholders. After all, a film and television production company of DreamWorks' size can't just let Steven make one movie a year, they need at least two excellent movies a year to support this sign, and as for excellence, Steven Spielberg is the best guarantee!

"Mr. David, I don't think it's a wise decision, I've seen the outline of this story, it's introduced on your official website, according to the storyline, the film goes through a typical business model, and Steven, he's now pursuing a model that is compatible with art and business." After a pause, Xiansen put the coffee cup on the table and continued: "If Steven succeeds, then maybe he will not be very interested in this movie, because such a story is not compatible with art; And if he fails, then this movie will be his second testing ground, I think, even DreamWorks doesn't want to experience two such failures, right? ”

After hearing this, David Geffen hesitated, and what Xiansen said also has a certain truth, if Steven fails, then according to his surname that does not stop until the goal is reached, this movie will also become the second failed experiment, and if Steven succeeds, is he still interested in such a commercial film? You know, this story is not Steven's own initiative, although he is very optimistic about this story.

"I think I'll need to talk to Steven."

After thinking about it for a long time, David Geffen still couldn't answer, and he decided to go and discuss it with Steven Spielberg before making a final decision.

"Okay, but it's not too long, you know, I'm not short of directing opportunities."

After speaking, Xiansen waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the door.

Perhaps out of curiosity, David Geffen looked at the back of Xiansen and asked, "Mister, can you tell me why you wanted to make this film?" ”

"Why? Because I'm also optimistic about this story, "Impunity", what a cool name! ”
