Reborn IT Giant

The day after Zheng Yan returned to New York, under Liu Wei's constant urging, she had no choice but to help him make an appointment with Spielberg.

Since entering, Spielberg has been reading the script, and Zheng Yan and Liu Wei have not disturbed him. Zheng Yan is confident in his script, but Liu Wei is a little frightened.

As the person in charge of Longteng, Liu Wei has always paid attention to foreign films, and he also knows the difference between Hong Kong films and Western films. He believes in Zheng Yan's ability to create scripts, but now he is writing a script that is completely different from Eastern culture.

, Liu Wei doesn’t have that much confidence in Zheng Yan.

"Zheng Yan, I have to admit that you are indeed very talented in script writing. The script of "Schindler's List" is better than I imagined. Next, I think we can discuss the filming of the film.

."

After hearing Spielberg's words, Liu Wei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Steven, before we discuss the shooting of this movie, I have a few more scripts here. I hope you can take a look. If you think they are okay, we can definitely cooperate on a few more movies."

Before meeting with Spielberg, Zheng Yan had prepared several scripts, including "Jurassic Park" that originally belonged to him. Zheng Yan also sent someone to buy the adaptation rights of the novel. In addition, Zheng Yan

We have also prepared several scripts such as "The Truman Show" and "Forrest Gump", and even James Cameron's "Tacanic" has not been spared.

"Oh? How many more scripts are there?"

After reading the script of "Schindler's List", Spielberg no longer doubted Zheng Yan's creative ability, but he never thought that other scripts could reach the level of "Schindler's List". But because of

Out of politeness, he still took over the script from Zheng Yan.

"Oh Zheng Yan, it turns out that you bought the rights to adapt this novel. But luckily, it's finally back in my hands."

Amblin Entertainment also approached Michael Crichton. After hearing that the film adaptation rights of "Jurassic Park" had been bought, Spielberg felt very sorry. Now Zheng Yan sees "Jurassic Park"

For the script of "Child Park", Spielberg felt like he had lost it and found it again.

"history

Tivan, since you have also read this novel, you might as well read another script first. In fact, I think you can read "The Truman Show" first. I personally like this script very much."

Spielberg did not refuse Zheng Yan's suggestion. He also wanted to see what kind of script Zheng Yan could recommend. After just reading the beginning, Spielberg was attracted by the content of the script.

.

"The Truman Show" is a literary film, which can also be said to be a black humor comedy. It exposes the ugly behavior of profit-seeking and trampling on human rights in Western business activities. It also examines the negative aspects of morality, human relations and the state of the world.

A powerful sarcasm.

For the script "Schindler's List", Spielberg had already communicated the plot with Zheng Yan, but "The Truman Show" is a completely new script. Compared with the former, it is "The Truman Show".

The impact on Spielberg was even greater.

"Zheng Yan, I think you are completely tempting me. It's really hard for me to imagine that if one day I don't have the script you provided, I can still maintain my enthusiasm for film shooting. I can't wait to watch this film now."

It’s filmed.”

"Steven, there are a few more scripts here, don't you want to take a look?" Zheng Yan said with a hint of fun.

"No, no, no, good scripts are like fine wine. Don't be greedy for too much. But these two have already made me feel physically and mentally happy. As for the other scripts, I think it's better to read them later."

Spielberg also understood that the more he showed his love for Zheng Yan's script, the more passive he would be in the subsequent negotiations. However, leaving him indifferent to a good script, out of a filmmaker's love for movies, he simply

Can't do it.

"Okay, in that case, you can take the rest of the script back. Next, you can talk about the future cooperation. I am only a shareholder of the company, and the other is the screenwriter. It is up to you to discuss how to cooperate.

"

The reason why Zheng Yan was willing to provide the script was just to help pave the way for Long Teng. As for how Long Teng would develop, Zheng Yan had no intention of participating or intervening, so he left the question to Liu Wei.

When Liu Wei saw Spielberg,

He couldn't hold himself back any longer. It was finally his turn to play, so naturally he wouldn't be polite.

"Steven, this is the cooperation plan I have prepared. Please take a look at it first."

Before meeting Spielberg, Zheng Yan and Liu Wei had already discussed that in order for Long Teng to open up in the United States as soon as possible, they must produce a work with excellent reputation. Therefore, when the two of them formulated a cooperation plan,

Longteng is the sole producer, while Amblin Entertainment is the film's distributor.

"I think this plan is unreasonable and we should change it. Since it is a cooperation between Longteng Entertainment and Amblin, the producer is naturally the two companies. Of course, the filming funds are also shared by both companies."

Since the establishment of Amblin Entertainment, although the company has been in a profitable state thanks to Spielberg's extremely high popularity and extraordinary directing ability, in recent years, it has not produced any masterpieces. At present, Zheng Yan's scripts are rarely seen.

He saw hope and naturally would not give up easily.

Regarding Spielberg's reaction, Liu Wei and Liu Wei had already expected it, "Steven, you must also know that with the level of our current scripts, as long as we are willing, there will definitely be a lot of directors who are willing."

Directing. As for the later release, as long as we are willing to make enough profits, there will be no obstacles at all."

"Of course, we hope to have more cooperation with Amblin in the future. So although Amblin is only the distributor of the movie, we can increase your revenue share. At least in terms of profits, Amblin will not suffer a loss."

Longteng Entertainment is not short of money at present, it is just short of reputation. In Liu Wei's view, if it is just a movie, as long as it can guarantee reputation, it is not a big deal even if all the profits are given away. It is just a pity that Spielberg

Ge Chacha is not short of money either.

"If we go by what you said, we at Amblin can also promise that the investment in the film will be jointly carried out by both parties, and the production company will be Longteng Entertainment and Amblin. As for the profit sharing, we at Amblin can make concessions."

It would be difficult for Spielberg to accept that the film was directed by someone else, but it is not Spielberg's style to compromise so easily.
