Steven? Spielberg was called the 'Movie Weaver' by Hollywood journalists, and on the one hand, he was able to shoot "Jaws", "E. T。 can make such a shocking work as "Schindler's List". It can be said that Spielberg perfectly combines the profound ideological and commercial elements of the film, allowing the audience to experience the shocking and magnificent picture effect while feeling the profound connotation conveyed in his film, which makes people still unfinished and has an endless aftertaste. Therefore, Sun Ziming once put Steven in public? Spielberg is known as the No. 1 director of contemporary Hollywood, and has won the approval of the vast majority of people.

However, with the release of "The Shawshank Redemption", "Forrest Gump" and "Braveheart", reporters put Sun Ziming and Spielberg side by side, calling them 'It/seems/that/be/neck/and/neck/now'.

In private, the relationship between the two is also very good, not only because Sun Zi Mingren respects Spielberg very much before and behind his back, unlike Lucas, who is also a great director, who often sings and sings with James and is sarcastic; is also because the two have the same views and pursuits of film: artistry must be combined with commerciality, even when artistry is emphasized, at least the audience must understand it; While paying attention to commerciality, the film must also be quite artistic and ideological, and cannot make a pure popcorn movie.

It can be said that among several recognized top directors in Hollywood, Spielberg, Sun Ziming, James, and Lucas have the most bizarre relationship, and it is almost Spielberg who has been mediating the relationship between the other three.

Especially after light and shadow effects swallowed up industrial light and magic, James? Cameron's broken mouth brought up the agreement between him and Sun Ziming three years ago, pretending to blame his friend for not counting his words, and did not bankrupt the common enemy of the two, so that he didn't have a chance to send steak and red wine to people if he wanted to. And James is not to blame for this? Cameron fell into the ground, and the blame was that the grudge with Lucas was too great, which made him haunt him for a few years.

However, this is a very slap in the face, and it makes Lucas angry, who let his industrial light and magic be swallowed up? Embarrassed, Lucas accelerated the preparations for the "Star Wars sequel", thinking that he would start a new business when his financial situation improved. China Ming is a little better, after annexing and destroying the light demon, people respect themselves very much in front of and behind them, that is, James's bastard is simply a complete bastard! It's better to kill yourself when working with such a bastard!

Later, under the reporter's arrest and questioning, the angry Lucas continued to be angry, slightly modified what he said a few years ago, and entered a counterattack against James, only replacing his ex-wife with Sun Ziming.

James is also relying on China to make money and is willing to spend money, so he relied on money to pile up "True Lies", and now he is tinkering with "Titanic" that cost more than 200 million US dollars. James also relied on China Ming to help him brag, so he got a fourth and a half Hollywood director, in fact, in terms of talent, he is not as good as Sun Ziming's former follower Chris? Columbus. If he James really has the god that China blows, he will also spend fifteen million dollars to make a movie with a box office of more than 200 million for everyone to see?

Yes, that's what I think, James is a man who relies on the strength of others to earn a reputation for himself! Think about it, Miss Jill's career was very good at the beginning, but what happened after she met James? A blow-up 'The Abyss' made Miss Jill almost bankrupt, and in the end she had to go back to be her producer......

It is said that after James heard this, he smashed the monitor on the set, which scared Leonardo? DiCaprio and Kate? Winslet was so frightened that he was afraid that the real 'tyrant on the set' would be angry with them.

……

Now the two have completely become sworn enemies, they will pinch each other if they don't meet, and when they meet, they treat each other as if they don't exist, which really creates a lot of news for reporters, and also makes Spielberg and Sun Ziming quite nerve-wracking. Spielberg is friends with Lucas and Sun Ziming, and he doesn't want everyone to be too stiff.

Sun Ziming wants to sell well because he is cheap, after all, Lucas's "Star Wars" and "Raiders of the Lost Ark" series are cash cows that can help him make a lot of money. Besides, both of them have now become shareholders of the company, although Lucas is forced to be a shareholder of light and shadow, but it is not like to quarrel every day. There are no good words to quarrel, in case the two of them quarrel and say something that should not be said, sooner or later it will affect the interests of the company.

Wait until James? Cameron finished all the filming of "Titanic" and began to work on post-production, Lucas, who was designing the special effects of "Star Wars Sequel" at a special effects company, had a conflict with him, and the two quarreled in the company conference room.

Sun Ziming, who was visiting Spielberg's family, listened to Yoshiyo Sato's whispered report and said with a wry smile: "Steven, those two guys are pinching up again." ”

Spielberg rubbed his temples and said in distress, "Why this time?" ”

Kayo Sato looked at Sun Ziming's face and explained: "It's still special effects, James thinks that the machine of "Star Wars Sequel" is too inferior and has no artistic beauty. Lucas, on the other hand, believes that the machine qì is a mass-produced armed force, which pursues high practicality, high efficiency and low cost. ”

'Hey', Spielberg lamented, the two bastards were also resentful because of their work, one liked to build yì, the other disagreed the most, two stubborn people got together, and the result was that Mars hit the Earth.

Sun Ziming is also very helpless, in "The Abyss", if James listens to Lucas's opinion, the artistic effect will be weakened, but the commercial value can definitely be improved, so as not to make the producer Miss Jill, that is, James's bastard's ex-wife, almost bankrupt. Lucas is not wrong in saying that even James has privately admitted that after successive successes, he has inflated himself, and he has not balanced the combination of art and business in "The Abyss". However, for a proud person like him, self-criticism is okay, but it must not be allowed to be criticized by others, especially criticism with mockery! In this case, like James? What Cameron wants to do most is to fight back hard and make them all shut up with their big smelly mouths!

Both of them are very clear about the causes and consequences of the grudge between the two people, and they also know that this resentment is difficult to reconcile, because they are also very stubborn people in their bones, but their personalities are a little softer, and they will not be as sharp as those two guys.

'Hey', Spielberg sighed again, pointed to the "Broken Lock Rage" on the armrest of the sofa, and said helplessly: "Ming, if this script is in Lucas's hands, and when he comes back, he will definitely not indicate his opinions and reasons in detail, but it will be a completely new script, and it is likely to be the opposite of the original intention of this script." ”

Sun Ziming also smiled bitterly, this is the difference between everyone. Lucas and James succeeded too quickly, and they were unborn geniuses, and occasional setbacks did not detract from their reputation as geniuses. The most striking characteristic of genius is that it is self-confidence beyond ordinary people, and it is difficult to hear that it is self-serving. It's just that the two of them are stubborn, and most of the time they are right, so there is no room for disagreement, unless you have enough reasons to convince him.

In this way, he will always think of a better way to overturn your opinion and prove that although you are right, he is more correct than you. It's like when he quarreled with James's bastard, he could explain what was still vague in his heart, and he couldn't let him honestly draw a scoop on the gourd. "Titanic" has its own most suitable shooting plan, James? Cameron still found another way, always trying to prove that he is more talented than himself, and the budget still reached 220 million US dollars, if it were not for the special effects discounted by his own company, it is estimated that 220 million would not be able to beat, which is 50 or 60 million higher than the 'original'.

"Forget it, I don't make money from movies anyway. Steven, I'm building yì you also check the copyright thing, am I Jean Dean? Devlin was scared. ”

Spielberg waved his hand and teased: "Ming, you are purely unlucky, it must be that God thinks he is too generous to you and gives you a little trouble." Is this script Debbie? Ms. Allen's outline based on BlackMutiny, and I wrote the script based on hers. For this, Debbie? Alan also paid $100,000 to William? Owen, who acquired the rights to the adaptation of BlackMutiny. ”

Then there is no risk, now Sun Ziming thinks of Dean? Devlin is not happy, the kind of copyright protection method of sending himself a parcel is simply an opportunity to create a zào blackmail and blackmail.

"Hey, I heard that the new line is interested in taking over the project of Alien Invasion?"

Sun Ziming smiled, "Seems to be, Clifton? Mr. Johnson made a point of calling me to inform me of the incident, hoping that I would not mind. ”

Spielberg chuckled narrowly, with what he knew about this guy, Dean? It's no wonder that Devlin can take advantage. Sun Ziming is not shy about it, the new line company wants to use its own reputation to hype, and it is impossible not to pay a price.

"I can't blame me, friends are treated like friends, and partners will be treated with discounts. My grandson Ming is in business, and he has always valued his friends very much, and New Line is reluctant to sell me the adaptation rights of "The/Lord/of/The/Rings" (The Lord of the Rings), that is, he does not treat me as a friend. Since you don't treat me as a friend, of course you can't enjoy the treatment of a friend! ”

Spielberg couldn't help but laugh, this guy is really weird. As long as it takes a few more years and the special effects technology is more advanced, "The Lord of the Rings" will definitely be a cash cow, and people will not sell him to him, but they will not treat him as a friend? The price of being his friend is too high.

Sun Ziming was dissatisfied: "What do you know? Do you know how high my conditions are? A whole $100 million, and that's only 50% of the adaptation rights! ”

"What, God, you're a madman!"

Crazy? Sun Ziming is not crazy, when he knew that he could not get the copyright of the film adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings", he proposed a film that was enough for J? R? The price of the contract broken by Tolkien's descendants with the new line company, what they can't get, others don't want to eat peaches!

Hmph, with that $100 million disruption, won't the new line take the initiative to take over Dean? Devlin's script, wanting to trade with himself. Dean is a fool, he really thinks that there are such cheap things in the world, and this world is about strength!

Peter? Jackson, Peter? Jackson, the company he founded, actually wanted to replicate the model of light and shadow effects in New Zealand, which was a headache.

However, what Sun Ziming didn't expect was that a few days later, the thing that gave him a headache was actually solved by his assistant and a child who had never thought about it. And they worked together to prepare a devastating mine for New Line and Peter, waiting for those unlucky people to step on it.
