readx;?“ Hi George,"

As soon as he walked into the door of the café, Duke saw George? Lucas hurriedly went over to greet him and said slightly apologetically, "I'm sorry for being late." Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info [Latest Chapter Reading]"

George? Lucas shook his head unmindfully, "It's early for us." ”

As he spoke, he turned to the side and introduced the two men next to Duke to him, "You should remember them, you danced lightsabers with them on the set when you were a kid. ”

He is talking about the seventies, because of the friendship between the two families, Duke went to the set of Star Wars several times when he was a child, although a long time has passed, he still vaguely remembers it, besides, as a director who is about to direct a new Star Wars film, how can he not know the two members of the Skywalker family in the Iron Triangle of the Star Wars trilogy?

"Hello, Mark. Hello, Kelly. ”

Duke shook hands with two middle-aged actors, who played Luke in the Star Wars trilogy? Mark of Skywalker and Princess Leia? Hamill and Kelly? Fisher.

The two sides greeted each other and came to a quiet booth, Duke has always been direct when working, and looked at George who was sitting on the side. Lucas, without any shying back, said, "I'm ready to start working on the new Star Wars trilogy, and I very much hope you guys will return to the series." ”

And so it doesn't come out of the mark? Hamill and Kelly? Fisher's prediction is that Hollywood is ready to start the Star Wars journey again after the rumors of Duke's acquisition of Lucasfilm.

However, they did not answer for the time being, but were silent, among them Kelly? Fisher also watched George? Lucas glanced.

George? Lucas has long said that the Star Wars prequel trilogy is the end of his Star Wars series, but the person who broke away from this series is Duke, and he is not breaking his promise to the media and fans, and as early as the mid-nineties, he invited Duke to be the director of the Star Wars prequel, but was rejected by the other party.

In his opinion, if Star Wars is reopened. There is absolutely no one more suitable for a director than Duke.

As the founder of the Star Wars franchise, putting this franchise in the hands of Duke, George? Lucas couldn't be more relieved.

So, George? Lucas vs. Kelly? Fisher nodded slightly.

Mark? Hamill and Kelly? Fisher was still silent. Duke is not in a hurry at all, these two people can be said to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of Star Wars at the beginning, and they are also the people who are most imprisoned, since the end of the Star Wars trilogy, there are not even any works that can be used.

Both used to be stars. With most of the consumption habits of Hollywood stars, the salary in the seventies and eighties is far from comparable with the salary of actors after Hollywood entered the nineties, the economic situation of these two people is actually not very good, and they can't find suitable films and roles at all. Brando is such an empty name, but his later life is quite down.

In Duke's investigative understanding, Harrison in the Star Wars Iron Triangle? Ford has been a big hit different, Mark? Hamill and Kelly? Fisher is no longer a real actor, and they don't even have an official agent.

Take 10,000 steps back. Even if Mark? Hamill and Kelly? Fisher and the others refused, and Duke didn't particularly care about it, and it was not difficult to get some props or scenes and other shots to touch the feelings of Star Wars fans.

Mark? Hamill took a sip of his coffee and said slowly, "I'm also happy to see the Star Wars series reboot, it's a great series." ”

Hearing this, Duke smiled slightly, and then looked at Kelly? Fisher.

Like Mark? Hamill is the same. Since there is no broker relationship, Kelly? Fisher couldn't make a promise, but he made his attitude clear, "I never dreamed of participating in Star Wars again." ”

These words are said. The atmosphere in the venue immediately became harmonious, especially recalling some scenes when Duke went to the set, and constantly let out bursts of chuckles.

Just Mark? Hamill and Kelly? Fisher knew very well that children had grown up to be something they needed to look up to.

Duke is too busy to stay here for long, after a cup of coffee. This meeting is also the end.

Before leaving, Duke reminded Mark, who was already seriously fat. Hamill and Kelly? Fisher, "I hope that from now on, the two of you can develop some good fitness programs. ”

Mark? Hamill and Kelly? Fisher naturally understood what Duke meant, and nodded busily.

Subsequently, Duke and George, who had been watching from the sidelines, were in contact with George? Lucas said hello and left the café to return to Warner Studios in Burbank.

Invite Mark? Hamill and Kelly? Fisher's return to the Star Wars series, to put it bluntly, is to move people with feelings, and they are just some of the many actors who have returned, Catherine as a producer? Kennedy, Charles? Rowan and Robin? Grande is in contact with living actors who have played in the Star Wars trilogy.

For example, Pete who played Chewbacca? Mei Yu has already promised to continue to play this role.

In comparison, Chewbacca's old partner Han? Solo is the hardest of the veteran actors of the Star Wars trilogy.

Charles? Rowan personally approached Harrison? Ford and his agent, the other party directly demanded $20 million plus revenue share.

And if put it in Harrison? In Ford's heyday, such a salary was not too much, but today's Harrison? Ford is no longer the Harrison of the past? Ford, Duke and Lucasfilm will not agree to such an actor contract unless their heads are in water.

Currently Charles? Is Rowan still with Harrison? Ford's agent talks, but the negotiation is quite difficult, and the two sides are fighting for every inch of land, and Duke is also ready not to appear in the film. Solo's preparations.

For Star Wars, even the Iron Triangle of the year was not essential.

Plans to remake the Star Wars series have reached the implementation stage, and no obstacle is enough to justify canceling this plan.

While Duke is busy with his own work, he is also keeping an eye on several competitors.

David? Naturally, Ellison needless to say, after quitting Hollywood, although there was less pressure from Duke's side, he was still targeted by the Los Angeles County Police Department and the FBI? The investigation into Diesel's death has been a bit of a mess, but the series of hacking incidents in North Korea triggered by "The Interview" has also distracted the media and officials from his attention, and in these respects, it is not without benefit to cede some benefits to Duke and quit Hollywood.

To put it simply, like Larry? Ellison and Bill? Like Gates, characters at this level can dislike each other, and even use methods like "cleaner spy" that can't be put on the table, but no one will easily start a life-and-death fight, which is not good for each other, and even the winner will be scarred, leaving others with a chance to come and stomp on it.

From beginning to end, Duke is very clear that he has strong collaborators such as Time Warner and Google in Hollywood and the United States, but there is never a shortage of competitors or even enemies. Solomon's Mover.

This is a highly competitive society, and he is not so stupid as to think that when he yells, all enemies will kneel and surrender and be his little brother.

Not to mention the enemy, even those movie stars who have worked with Duke, it is difficult to say what kind of opinion he has.

The Duke and Ellison families have always been on either side of a line, even if it is Larry? Ellison's arrogance and recklessness would not have crossed that line easily.

The two interest groups also ended their nearly 10-year entanglement with a deal.

The Ellison family's tentacles into the film industry were cut off, and Duke had no knowledge or interest in Oracle's business, and without competing interests, there would be no large-scale contradictions and conflicts between the two sides.

There's also Walt Disney, the one that has been most influenced by Duke among the six traditional Hollywood labels.

The former Mickey Mouse, since the acquisition of ABC TV, has shifted from a traditional production and distribution company to a media group, and is the only company among the six major labels that has truly successfully transformed, and later acquired Pixar Studios, swallowed Marvel Comics, merged with Lucasfilm, and once won the throne of the world's most valuable media company, which can be described as unparalleled.

The current Walt Disney is just an acquisition of ABC TV, not only was Duke robbed of Pixar Studios, Marvel Comics and Lucasfilm, but also deeply involved in Robert? Iger and Michael? The whirlpool of infighting between the two major groups of Eisner could not extricate themselves, which seriously affected the development of the company.

The loss of Pixar Studios, in particular, had an unpredictable negative impact on Walt Disney. Camel and John? Under Lassett's leadership, Walt Disney's animation business has re-emerged, and there are even commercial works such as "Frozen".

However, without the help of Pixar Studios, Walt Disney also released a relatively unfamiliar "Frozen" by Duke this Christmas file, but the results were very unsatisfactory, especially the cliché plot of the prince saving the princess with a kiss of love, which was heavily criticized, and the box office in the first week of release was just over $20 million.

Without Lily to save the world, without the Brainwashing Divine Comedy, this "Frozen" can only become the most ordinary of Disney's many animated films.

Duke remembered this film, but he couldn't find a suitable producer, "Frozen", a greasy genre that dances and sings sweetly, is not suitable for Pixar Studios at all, and if it is imposed on Pixar, I am afraid it will become a different look or a business that is destined to lose money.

As for writing a script and selling individual animation studios? No kidding, the production cycle of an animated film is super long, and the script can be said to be a very insignificant part of it, far less important than the production technology.

Then there's Twentieth Century Fox. (To be continued.) )
