Hollywood in 1994 was definitely the most brilliant period in history, with various commercial blockbusters emerging in an endless stream throughout the year, and even gently slammed into a gap in the door of the other side of the Pacific Ocean and began to implement the box office revenue sharing policy.

In this context, another shocking event happened in Hollywood in October, or enough news to make all Hollywood practitioners admire.

In October 1994, Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, David Geffen, three ambitious guys, created a film company, DreamWorks.

At the beginning of its establishment, DreamWorks aimed at the seven major Hollywood studios and wanted to break the long-standing monopoly.

It can be said that this newly established dream factory has the support of almost all Hollywood practitioners.

At the same time, the three founders of DreamWorks are all veterans in Hollywood and have very large network resources.

Even Ryan, who has never liked to attend banquets, accepted the invitation to the world-famous Hollywood dinner.

That night, North Hollywood was star-studded, and a Hollywood upper-class man came, and Ryan's identity was barely qualified to enter, and he didn't have a chance to talk to the DreamWorks triumvirate.

Only at the level of George Lucas can you go over and talk to him, which shows how beautiful the DreamWorks Triumvirate is at this time.

Such a scene is emotional, who would have thought that DreamWorks was just a flash in the pan, and in just ten years, it would eventually decline little by little.

"Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, David Geffen, an unbelievable combination. Looking at the place where the crowd gathered not far away, Ryan sighed.

Steven Spielberg, directed the thriller movie "Jaws" in 1975, on June 12, 1981, filmed the action-adventure movie "Raiders of the Lost Ark", and on June 11, 1993, filmed the sci-fi adventure movie "Jurassic Park".

If memory serves, in a little more than a month, another film directed by him, "Schindler's List", will also be released, and for this film won the 51st American Film and Television Golden Globe Award for Best Director in the Film Category and the 66th Academy Award for Best Director.

However, these were only the beginning of a legend for Steven Spielberg.

Jeffrey Katzenberg, perhaps now he is far less famous than Steven Spielberg, but as one of the Big Three of DreamWorks, Jeffrey Katzenberg, who is at the helm of feature film animation, is still not to be underestimated.

In just a few years, several animated feature films have been produced, and they have been sold one after another, making the reputation of the DreamWorks animation department second only to Pixar Animation Studio, and steadily overpowering Blue Sky Animation Studio.

Even if DreamWorks is mired in the quagmire of the future, DreamWorks' animated feature films are thriving.

David Geffen, a name that is hard to remember, founded the famous Geffen Records, released Elton John, and albums from bands such as "Sonic Youth", "Guns N' Roses", "Nirvana", and "Aerosmith" until 1990, when the company merged into the MCA Group.

It has to be said that his achievements in music are extraordinary.

"It's unbelievable. ”

Helen's tone was a little complicated, she sighed lightly, and then her expression was straight, and she said cautiously to Ryan: "Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, and David Geffen are very influential in Hollywood, but they ......"

"I'm saying but, at least for a while, it's best not to get involved with them. ”

"Spielberg is Jewish, has a wide network of Jewish people, and can not be afraid of the suppression of other film companies, but others do not have this qualification. ”

Not to mention Hollywood, but in all walks of life in North America, and even in every corner, there is no lack of Jewish influence.

Ryan nodded slightly, he naturally understood what Helen meant, "Don't worry, I don't want to offend the seven major film companies, not to mention that the current DreamWorks has just been established, and there is not even a distribution channel in North America, so it is too early to talk about cooperation at this time." ”

"And, so far, the cooperation with Twentieth Century Fox has been pretty good. ”

Unless DreamWorks can really break the monopoly of the seven major film companies and have global distribution channels, Ryan will not have anything to do with it for a long time to come.

In his previous life, Paramount had been staring at DreamWorks for a long time, and finally took it into his pocket, and he didn't want to be targeted by Paramount.

"Alright, let's get over. Helen gestured to George Lucas, who was idle, "Remember, don't talk about Spielberg and DreamWorks for a while, these things are not for you to talk about." ”

With that, she walked over to George Lucas.

"Hello Uncle George. ”

"That's what I talked about Ryan Gosling. Helen politely introduced.

"Nice to meet you, Mr. George Lucas!"

"Thank you for your many helps. Ryan spoke in a respectful tone.

George Lucas looked Ryan up and down, showing a look of surprise, and said, "It's as young as Helen said." ”

"I've seen the promotional plan for 'Blair the Witch,' and it's been unexpected. ”

"What's even more unexpected is that the University of Southern California is your alma mater!"

As rumored, George Lucas seems to like to give back to his alma mater, USC, by helping some of the USC graduates for a long time.

His voice changed suddenly, "Looks like our little Sophia isn't here!"

"I heard she became an executive producer?"

Apparently George Lucas was surprised by Sofia Coppola's decision to become executive producer of Saw Horror.

From his words, you can hear that she has known Sofia for a long time, or rather knows her father, director Coppola.

As soon as the feast began, Sophia was called away by his father. Ryan didn't expect that George Lucas actually knew Sophia.

"That old guy is still as stubborn as before, he has to tie Sophia to his side, there is no room for young people. George Lucas seems to be very familiar with director Coppola and talks about it unceremoniously.

"By the way, Helen said you want to invest in Blue Sky Studios?"

"Very bold investment plan, if you need help, manage the opening. ”

George Lucas reached out and patted Ryan on the shoulder and said, "I'm going to meet that old stubborn Coppola and casually free our little Sophia." ”

"Helen, remember that next time you have time, you can bring Ryan to the manor for dinner. ”

When George Lucas was gone, Helen explained: "Uncle George and director Coppola have known each other for a long time, and they should have known each other for decades. ”

"Director Coppola is the leader of Uncle George, and the first short film he directed was completed under the guidance of director Coppola"

"There is also Uncle George's first official film "American Painting", director Coppola helped him a lot, and the producer of the film is director Coppola, so they have always had a good relationship. ”

Ryan suddenly had a recognition of Coppola's family connections.

It's no wonder that Sophia was an actress if she wanted to be an actress, she went to the fashion industry if she wanted to, and even when she was a director, she didn't have to look for distribution companies everywhere, as most independent film directors do.

The role played by director Coppola is by no means as simple as it seems.

Even Nicolas Cage has to admit that his success is inseparable from the support of director Coppola.

"Leaving Las Vegas" allowed Nicolas Cage to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor and the Oscar for Best Actor, which is two statuettes, while the film's director, Mike Figes, was only nominated for two awards.

There must be the influence of director Coppola in it, otherwise with Nicolas Cage himself, it is almost impossible to get two little golden figures in one fell swoop.
