Japanese big things

Compared with the cautious and depressing atmosphere in Japan, American society is indeed quite free, and the overall environment makes people feel very relaxed.

Along the way, Nakamura Masahiro could see genuine smiles everywhere. If it weren't for the English with various accents and the Western faces he saw, he would have doubted that he had returned to the other side.

Of course, if we look at it more than ten years later, in the context of economic downturn, there will be very little relaxed atmosphere left on the other side, and it will also be filled with a depressing atmosphere.

"Nakamura, Steven is in a meeting, we need to wait for a while..."

After sitting in the conference room of Universal Pictures for a while, Masahiro Nakamura saw Bill coming back. He had just gone to understand the situation.

"It's okay, just wait for a while."

Masahiro Nakamura expressed his understanding. A well-known director like Spielberg must be very busy. Since the other party is in a meeting, he can just wait a little longer.

"Want something to drink..."

Bill smiled and asked, "Can I have coffee?"

"It will be all right...."

Nakamura Masahiro didn't care about what he was drinking. He was always thinking about his meeting with Director Spielberg later.

Since the other party invited him to come to Hollywood for discussions, he must be interested in letting him direct a movie. Otherwise, there is no need to invite him from Japan.

Based on the impressions in the memory fragments and combined with this time point, the movie projects that can be screened out should most likely be the dinosaur movie.

After all, it seems that the only film project that can be related to director Spielberg and Universal Pictures at the same time is the Dinosaur movie series.

"Thanks...."

I was thinking about something in my mind when a cup of coffee was suddenly handed to me. Masahiro Nakamura thanked him politely and took the coffee.

"What were you thinking about just now?"

Bill held the coffee in his hand and sat across from Nakamura Masahiro. He lowered his head and took a sip, then smiled and took the initiative to chat with Nakamura Masahiro.

"Looking at you, you seem to be very serious."

"nothing...."

Nakamura Masahiro forced a smile and shook his head, not intending to reveal his true thoughts.

"Let me guess..."

Bill rolled his eyes, with a sly smile on his face. He said in a guessing tone: "You must be thinking about how to talk with Steven right now, right?"

His eyes widened subconsciously, and Nakamura Masahiro looked at Bill opposite him. He didn't expect that he could really guess what he was thinking.

However, Masahiro Nakamura felt relieved the next second. He was waiting for Director Spielberg in this place, and he seemed to have no unnecessary messy thoughts?

"Don't think too much. Since Steven invited you here, he must be interested in letting you direct the movie project..."

Bill looked at Masahiro Nakamura's reaction and found it inexplicably interesting. He comforted him: "You just need to talk to him about your ideas for filming the movie."

There was a pause in his tone, and Bill thought for a moment, and then added: "After all, your movie "Model Student" has already won more than 100 million US dollars at the box office in Japan. This is your confidence."

Hearing what the other party said, Nakamura Masahiro felt a lot more relaxed. The box office results of "Model Student" were his greatest confidence.

To say the least, even if this fails and he fails to get the opportunity to direct a movie project, Nakamura Masahiro will not have any impact.

As a result, Nakamura Masahiro and Bill, who had let go of their worries, soon started chatting and laughing.

About half an hour later, the meeting was probably over, and Director Spielberg finally appeared at the door of the conference room.

He has a thin build, wears a pair of black-rimmed glasses, and has silver hair. He looks like a kindly old man.

"Hello, Nakamura..."

"Hello, Director Spielberg..."

Masahiro Nakamura took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to shake Spielberg's hand with some respect, and then the two exchanged a few words and sat opposite each other.

"Nakamura, you must already know the reason why I invited you to come to Hollywood, right?"

After Spielberg sat down, he entered the topic very directly. He said: "I invited you here this time. A friend recommended you, and then I also watched the work you directed and thought it was very good.

..."

Masahiro Nakamura did not interrupt, but quietly listened to Spielberg's story. Out of the corner of his eye, he noticed Bill blinking at the side.

A doubt arose in his mind, and Nakamura Masahiro couldn't help but glance at Bill twice. He didn't know what he wanted to imply by blinking.

"I don't know, what do you think of dinosaurs?"

Soon, Spielberg asked Nakamura Masahiro what he thought of dinosaurs, as if he was conducting an assessment.

"I don't have any opinion. In the field of movies, dinosaurs are just a tool for us to attract audiences."

Masahiro Nakamura expressed his thoughts very frankly. He didn't know much about dinosaurs, and he only regarded this long-defunct animal as a tool to make money.

"That's right, it's a tool."

Spielberg nodded with a smile, obviously very satisfied with Nakamura Masahiro's answer.

Maybe in other places, dinosaurs have different meanings, but in Hollywood, they only have the function of tools.

"Am I late?"

Suddenly, the door of the conference room was pushed open, and a tall, thin man walked in. He also wore black-rimmed glasses.

"Patrick, aren't you busy?"

Spielberg turned around and glanced. The other person was Patrick Crowley, the producer of the film project, with whom he had a good relationship.

"No matter how busy you are, you still have to come and take a look..."

Patrick Crowley responded to Spielberg with a smile, pulled out a chair, and plopped down.

"If the director of this film project is not chosen well, there will be a lot of trouble later."

As he spoke, he turned his attention to Masahiro Nakamura, smiled in a friendly manner, and asked politely: "Is this director Nakamura from Japan?"

"Hello, I'm Nakamura..."

Masahiro Nakamura stood up and greeted him politely. Although he didn't know the identity of the other party, he could get along easily with Spielberg, so he must not be a nobody.

"This is Patrick Crowley. He is a producer at Universal Pictures and also serves as a producer on film projects..."

While Nakamura Masahiro was chatting with the other party, Spielberg took the initiative to introduce the identity of Patrick Crowley.

"Hello...."

Patrick Crowley's face was filled with a smile. After he sat down aside, he said to Masahiro Nakamura: "Nakamura, your movie "Model Student" is very good. I heard that it has received more than 100 million in Japan.

dollar box office.”

Listening to the other party's slightly complimentary words, Nakamura Masahiro didn't know how to answer the call for a while, so he could only respond with a business smile.

"Steven, how was your conversation?"

Patrick Crowley turned to look at Spielberg and asked: "If there are no big problems, then Nakamura will direct the movie project."

"We just started talking..."

Hearing Crowley's words, Spielberg couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He said patiently: "Making a decision so soon?"

"What's there to think about..."

Crowley said disapprovingly: "The box office of Nakamura's movies is convincing. Counting the box office of other countries, "Model Student" can earn at least 200 million US dollars."

"Don't you think the box office of 200 million US dollars is not convincing enough? Do you want to choose the newcomer Colin?"

When the other party said this, Spielberg could no longer remain reserved. After all, he was already inclined to choose Masahiro Nakamura.

After a few brief exchanges, Spielberg and Crowley immediately agreed with Nakamura Masahiro to direct the film project.

Subsequently, Nakamura Masahiro directly hired a professional lawyer in Los Angeles to confirm that there were no problems with the director's contract before he signed it.

Although this is the first time to cooperate with Hollywood, both the impressions in the memory fragments and the rumors in the circle show that Hollywood is not simple.

Isn’t the Jewish capital on Wall Street impressive enough? When it comes to Hollywood, it is still cheated by Hollywood film companies.

A small body like Nakamura Masahiro cannot withstand the torment of Hollywood. He does not have much ambition and just wants to get the benefits he deserves.

"This is a movie script. You can take it and read it first... If there is a revised version later, we will send it to you."

Handing a thick script to Nakamura Masahiro, Crowley said in a warning tone: "You should handle the domestic affairs in Japan as soon as possible, and then come over and take over the crew."

After thinking for a while, he continued: "If everything goes well, the selection of roles may start soon, and you will be needed to make the decision..."

"Nakamura, make this movie well and you will have no trouble in Hollywood."

Spielberg didn't have much to say. He just looked at Masahiro Nakamura with a kind smile and said a few concise sentences.

"In the future, there will be more opportunities."

After shaking hands with Crowley and Spielberg, Nakamura Masahiro, led by Bill, visited the preliminary preparations for the film project.

Different from the ordinary film shooting process, the dinosaur movie project has actually started relevant preparation work before the director is confirmed.

After all, it is a large-scale production worth hundreds of millions of dollars, and a lot of work needs to be prepared in advance in all aspects. It is impossible to proceed step by step like a regular movie.

For example, the production of dinosaurs, the protagonists of the movie, and related models and special effects take a long time. If they are not started in advance, the progress will be infinitely stretched.

"Nakamura, if possible, please handle your affairs in Japan as soon as possible..."

At the end of the visit, Bill also reminded Nakamura Masahiro. He said solemnly: "This film project is a large-scale production and cannot cause problems. I hope you can focus more on the film."
