Chapter 576: David Geffin

. David and Richard didn't dare to say that it was wrong, they all smiled and nodded.

To be honest, in the past few years, they have cooperated with Xu Guanwu, and they have made money on this horror film. Because the cost of making horror movies is relatively low, even if they get stuck in the middle, they will not be discovered, so they usually take the opportunity to make a profit.

And films like "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Star Wars", because of the huge investment, they themselves have relatively strict control over funds. And then George. Lucas and Stephen. Spielberg and other directors are not vegetarians, and they don't do it if they are too greedy.

So unlike these directors who make B-grade horror movies, they are themselves unknown little directors, and they are already lucky to be able to make movies, so how dare they find fault with the problem of funds? ! In addition, David and Richard are more famous than them, so they are basically the only ones on the set, so naturally the money is a little more ruthless.

Xu Guanwu also knew that Chad and David were not clean, but he had no intention of pursuing it. The so-called water is clear, there are no fish, and there are no fugitives when people are observed. Even if Xu Guanwu sent people to keep an eye on them at any time, there would still be the phenomenon of rubbing oil. So for Xu Guanwu, as long as the movie is well shot and the box office income is good, then be greedy. However, if the actions of the two of them have affected the normal shooting of the film, then Xu Guanwu will not get used to them anymore. Fortunately, Richard and David also know the importance of the Tao, so they have not made mistakes in cooperation for many years, which is why Xu Guanwu has been looking for them to cooperate.

"By the way, have you found the author of the book "First Blood"?" After Xu Guanwu finished chatting about "Ghost Street", he asked Richard again.

"We're sending someone to investigate. But you also know how developed the American publishing industry is. Every year, more than 100,000 books are published. So if you want to find it, you have to spend some time. Richard said.

"Well, then hurry up, otherwise I'm really afraid of being snatched away by others." Xu Guanwu said.

"It doesn't matter, it's just the film and television adaptation rights of a book, even if someone takes it away, we can spend money to buy it back." David smiled and said, "If it's really a blockbuster movie, I don't think you will be stingy with money, Stanley." ”

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, "My creed is not to spend money that shouldn't be spent, and I will never spend it." If the owner of the film and television adaptation rights of "First Blood" wants to blackmail the price, I won't eat his set. ”

"Understood, don't worry, we'll keep looking." Richard nodded.

Xu Guanwu raised his hand to look at his watch, and saw that it was only an hour in the past, and if he walked faster, he should still be able to buy clothes with Azhi, so he wanted to get up and say goodbye.

At this time, I saw Stephen. Spielberg led a man in, "David, I've found the right theme song for the song "ET", my old friend David. Geffen was willing to give that song for free for us to use. Hey. You are Mr. Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time. ”

Spielberg finished shouting at David. Suddenly, he saw Xu Guanwu still standing beside him, and hurriedly greeted him again.

Xu Guanwu nodded, "Why, I've been busy with the post-production of "ET" recently." ”

"yes." Spielberg replied, at this time, the man behind him looked at Xu Guanwu with interest, that kind of look made Xu Guanwu uncomfortable for a while, but he didn't know what Lu Dao was because of.

Spielberg was about to explain it to David, when the man behind him quietly approached Spielberg and said something. Spielberg glanced at him, then at Xu Guanwu, and suddenly said with a smile, "By the way, I forgot to introduce you to you, this is the person I just mentioned, my old friend David. Geffen, who is the CEO of Vault Records. ”

"No, it's the former boss. Hi, I'm David. Hello Geffen, everyone! "David. Geffen greeted everyone with a lot of flirtat. But only Xu Guanwu responded stupidly, and David and Richard both looked a little cold.

"Hello, I'm Stanley. Allow. You can call me Stanley, or you can do it. Xu Guanwu stepped forward and said with a smile.

"Thank you, my friend." David. Geffen hurriedly stretched out his hand to shake hands with Xu Guanwu and said.

Xu Guanwu was stunned for a moment, although he was surprised by David. Geffen's enthusiasm, but still reached out to shake his hand, "Mr. Geffen is a record company?" ”

"yes, but I sold the record label." David. Geffen said with a smile.

"What's the matter, isn't your record company doing very well, and even the Eagles are popular with your song?" Spielberg asked, confused.

Hearing Spielberg say this, Xu Guanwu's ears suddenly stood up. The Eagles are famous, the song "Hotel California" can definitely be regarded as an immortal classic of psychedelic rock music, Xu Guanwu liked to listen to this song before, but he didn't expect such a famous rock band to be this David. Geffen is popular, but it's really a real person.

"You know, I was almost diagnosed with a terminal illness last year, so at that moment I was discouraged and sold the record company." David. Geffen whispered to Spielberg, "But I'm planning to start another record label again, because I don't feel like it's a good idea for me to make movies, and I still like to make records because I like to find new people and package them as big stars." ”

Xu Guanwu couldn't help but smile when he heard this, this is really a nowhere to find a place to step on iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. I just wanted to set up a record company, and God immediately sent a bull fork character. People who can win the Red Eagle Band should have some ability.

"David, I'm sorry, I just overheard the conversation between the two of you." Xu Guanwu said with a smile, "I seem to have heard that you want to open a record company, right?" ”

"Yes, Xu, do you have any opinions?" David. Geffen asked Xu Guan Wudao with a smile.

Xu Guanwu smiled, "That's right, I'm also very interested in music, and I'm also very optimistic about the American record market, if you don't dislike it." Let's start a company together. How is it? ”

David. Geffen was stunned. Then he smiled, "It's a good thing that someone is willing to invest in me, and of course I have no reason to refuse." ”

"That's great, I wish us a happy cooperation." Xu Guanwu smiled and stretched out his hand.

David. Geffen smiled, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xu Guanwu.

"Okay, we'll talk about the cooperation between the two of you another day, and I'll finish talking about my own business first." Spielberg said rather anxiously. "I've found the right episode for 'ET', and David has agreed that we can use it for free."

"That's great news, congratulations Stephen." Richard said with an exaggerated smile, "I think the follow-up production of our "ET" can finally move on to the next link. ”

"What you don't understand, the soundtrack is very important to a movie, if the inappropriate soundtrack is played in the wrong place, then not only the appeal of the film will be greatly reduced, but even the audience's perception will deteriorate." Spielberg heard the ridicule in Richard's mouth, and couldn't help frowning.

"Yes, I know that what you said makes sense. But if you can pick up the pace a little bit, I think I'll shut up too. Richard nodded.

"Alright. You two don't have to quarrel anymore, the quality of the movie is the most important thing, if you can improve the quality of the movie, it doesn't matter if you spend a little more time. Richard, don't rush Stephen, I think he will be a responsible director" Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

"Xie Lu, thank you, Mr. Xu, for your trust, then I will continue to be busy with the follow-up production of "ET". Spielberg agreed, turned around and was about to walk out, "David, aren't you coming with me?" ”

"I also want to stay and talk to Mr. Xu about cooperating with him to open a new record label." David. Geffen said with a smile.

"Oh, there's no need to rush that matter, since Stephen has something to do with you, then we'll talk about it next time." Xu Guanwu smiled.

"In that case, let's make an appointment next time." David. Geffen nodded and turned to talk to Stephen. Spielberg walked with him.

"Stanley, if you say that, you're going to spoil these people." "They're more emboldened to keep delaying the time, but we're still going to have to catch the schedule." If the ticket jumps at that time, it will have a great impact on the box office of the film. ”

"You two should be considerate of each other, and you can always find a solution to the problem." Xu Guanwu waved his hand.

"By the way, Stanley, you're really going to talk to David. Did Geffen start a record company together? David asked suddenly.

"Yes, the person who can win the Red Eagle Band should have some ability." Xu Guanwu smiled and said, "What, is there anything wrong with him, could it be that he is a liar or a villain who often cries his partners?" ”

"That's not it, he's really capable, he's become a millionaire at a young age, and the people who work with him don't say he's bad. But he's gay. Richard waved his hand, opened his eyes wide, and said to Xu Guanwu seriously, "And his boyfriend died of AIDS last year, so he may also be a carrier of AIDS." ”

"I'm X!" Xu Guanwu couldn't help but scold, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

"We don't know about it, and don't you notice that we're cold to him?" "But I don't think you need to worry too much, daily contact shouldn't be contagious." ”

Xu Guanwu still feels very uncomfortable, no wonder David. Geffen looked at him so strangely, no wonder David and Richard were so cold to him, it turned out to be this reason.

"Now you know that his record company is running well, but why should he suddenly sell it?" Richard nodded and said, "It's because he was worried that he would be infected and contracted an incurable disease, so he simply sold the company and waited for death." ”

"Then he's coming back now, he should be fine, right?" Xu Guanwu suddenly asked.

"Probably, but it's hard to say." David waved his hand.

"Forget it, forget it, don't scare yourself, it's just a handshake, it won't be infected." Xu Guanwu waved his hand and said, "Okay, if there's nothing to do, I'll leave first." ”

……

Coming out of the Fox company, Xu Guanwu looked at his watch, but only an hour and a half had passed, and there was still enough time for his wife to go shopping, so he hurried back to the hotel. Unexpectedly, after going back, I saw that Ah Zhi had already taken Xiao Simo out of the city, "Alas, why is the addiction to shopping so big, can't you wait for me for a while?" ”

Xu Guanwu lost his temper at the empty house, and then he had to turn on the TV and watch it resignedly. But it happened to be the Oprah talk show on Marvel TV. Seeing this show again after a year, Xu Guanwu felt that Oprah was much more mature, and her hosting style was more delicate, which moved the audience and the audience to tears.

"This woman is getting more and more foolish." Xu Guanwu said with a smile.

When it was noon, Xu Guanwu received a call from his wife again, telling him to come out to eat and have good Japanese sushi to eat. Xu Guanwu didn't want to eat Japanese food, but after thinking about it, the Chinese food here is too heavy, and it is not bad to eat some light Japanese sushi occasionally, so he agreed to eat sushi at noon today.
