Rebirth of America, this is my time

Such a beautiful sight made Ethan blink his eyes.

Because he didn't understand why Spielberg would pick up his pants and walk out early in the morning.

This special code is also...

Isn't it too obscene?

Although he was doubtful, Ethan still took the initiative to say hello.

Hey! Steven! Where are you going?

‘? ’

The sudden shout made Spielberg pause.

Oh Ethan, why are you here? he asked in surprise, then looked at the time on his watch, Eight o'clock in the morning? Oh My God! Did you drive here all night?

Although he was asking a question, he had no intention of giving Ethan an answer. While pulling up the belt around his waist, he continued: Do you have anything to do with me when you come here so early? But I also have some urgent matters now and need to go there. Fox. If you're not in a hurry, then...

When it comes to this, Spielberg's words are a pause, because he has realized the problem.

He slapped his forehead and said in annoyance: Oh my god! What stupid things am I talking about!

If you can show up at this time, you must be looking for me in an emergency! Okay, don't wait for me here. You can go to Fox with me. You can talk to me on the way, because I don't know myself either. When can I come back...

Although Spielberg's words were somewhat repetitive, Ethan did not hesitate and followed him into the nanny car provided by Universal.

With a roar, the Volvo Business Car rushed the two of them out of the park. It was only then that Spielberg truly relaxed, and Ethan also opened his mouth in time to ask why the other party was anxious.

Spielberg didn't hide anything and directly told what happened.

It turns out that Spielberg received an invitation a week ago to go to Fox today to attend an internal preview of a friend's new film. But because his new movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind was in the midst of intense rough editing work and required him to control the overall situation, he spent all day in the editing room and immediately lost track of time until his assistant went to work this morning. When I asked him why he hadn't gone to Forks yet, he suddenly remembered that he might be missing out on his appointment.

Then--

I just washed my face with cold water, changed my clothes, picked up my pants and ran away.

Spielberg, who was leaning on his seat, tilted his head and said helplessly: If it weren't for time, I would even want to take a shower before going...

He pinched his collar and shook it, I haven't showered for several days!

It almost stinks!

As he moved, a strong smell of men's perfume penetrated the tip of Ethan's nose.

Although Ethan didn't have a mysophobia, the fact that he hadn't showered for several days still made him move instinctively. And that subtle movement made Spielberg raise his eyebrows——

Hey! Ethan! What do you mean!

he said loudly.

You think I'm dirty, don't you?

hold head high?

No, no, no... Ethan said quickly: I'm just allergic to perfume.

Ethan knew that the other party was joking, so he answered casually. Then he changed the subject and said, Oh Steven, is the internal preview you just mentioned important?

Is it so important that you don't even have time to take a shower?

Spielberg was very upset when he mentioned this matter.

certainly!

He said: What I want to watch today is actually George's movie! He has already cut out a rough version of his work. He called me over today because he wanted me to witness his great idea!

Oh - you may not know how excited I was when I received this call!

When Spielberg said this, Ethan immediately understood.

It turns out the movie this guy was talking about was Star Wars!

When this movie appeared, Ethan, who was still anxious because of the sudden switch between Milohua and Atari, suddenly became excited. He had no choice but to make him decide as early as last year that he would use How about Space Invaders catching on to the popularity of Star Wars?

Although this kind of thing can be done at any time, now is obviously the most appropriate time.

Because he needs to use a game to attract the attention of North American players!

Let them forget about Milowa and Atari machines!

Oh - then I'm really lucky -

Ethan said happily: If I remember correctly, you seemed to have told me before that George will use more powerful visual technology in this movie?

If that's the case, wouldn't it be a great honor for me to be the first person to criticize it?

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Spielberg was very excited when he mentioned this.

Oh Ethan - you may not know how powerful George's ideas are! When he was writing the script, I was already deeply shocked by his grand idea! At that moment, I even felt that he was just He is a true genius, and I am just an ordinary person who looks up to him!

And now, he has completed an epic story?

Oh - I really can't wait!

The excited words made Ethan smile and nod.

Having memories of his past life, he certainly understands what a great work Star Wars is.

Although it is not the first special effects film in the history of film, it is the pioneer of the special effects era. George Lucas single-handedly raised the visual effects of the film to a higher level. For people of his generation, The shock was like seeing Terminator 2 and Jurassic Park in the early 1990s, and then seeing Avatar in the early 21st century.

There are many things that change the world, but there are few opportunities to see them with your own eyes. Therefore, when Spielberg discovered that Lucas's idea was very dreamy, he was not excited. That was abnormal.

After Spielberg excitedly vented his emotions, he suddenly realized that Ethan was looking for something to do with him! So he slapped his thigh and apologized: Oh brother, I'm sorry, I was too excited. I haven't asked you what you want to see me for.

With these words, Ethan finally found a chance to speak.

And when Spielberg learned that Ethan was worried about Atari's new machine because he didn't know what kind of games Atari would install on that machine, Spielberg suddenly He patted his chest and said that he would find someone to help him find out.

Oh Ethan, your business is taken care of by me.

Don't worry, I will definitely be able to help you!

We have our own people in Warner. It may be difficult for others to ask, but for us...

Their office, it's no different than being undefended.

This fact made Ethan smile happily.

Since Spielberg answered so easily, he was relieved.

But... you need to wait for me. Spielberg said again.

Because there's no way we can go back now.

Wait a while?

Oh, it's okay Steven, I'm in no hurry.

In Ethan's opinion, if Atari really copied it, there would be no difference between him rushing back earlier or later. So, when he had already boarded the Star Wars viewing car... …

Walking there is the best option.

After all, there are not many opportunities to witness history.

After the car continued driving for half an hour, the two also arrived at Fox's headquarters. This is Century City on Santa Monica Boulevard in Los Angeles.

As soon as he arrived at the door, Ethan saw the big FOX logo. The two-story studio facade was painted with light brown wall paint. At first glance, it really looked like a fox. After going deeper, the spacious The venue is the same as Universal Studios, except that the word rich is not written on its face.

After briefly looking around, Ethan followed Spielberg into a four-story building. After some twists and turns, the two finally stopped at the door of a screening room.

At this moment, there are several people inside.

In addition to George Lucas, the father of Star Wars, whom Ethan could instantly recognize, the viewing team also included executives from Fox, two other friends of Lucas, and two cartoonists from Marvel.

After Spielberg's introduction, Ethan also learned their names. One of Lucas's two friends is Brian Palma and the other is John Milius. They are both Hollywood practitioners. Wei's cartoonists were Roy Thomas and Howard Kazin.

Several people at the scene were surprised by Ethan's arrival.

But the next second, they took the initiative to extend their right hands and smiled to show their goodwill.

Oh Ethan - it's nice to meet you, thank you for the gift you brought me - George Lucas smiled: Kurosawa Akira's wishful signature is the best gift I have ever received in my life!

Oh, you're welcome--you just like it-- Ethan nodded with a smile.

Steven is very good to me, and you are Steven's friend, then everyone is a friend.

Ethan climbed up the pole.

Although Ethan was not on the invitation list for this screening, the screening of a new movie actually involves commercial secrets, but this kind of thing is not important.

Because he came with Spielberg, that's enough.

After a brief greeting, Ethan took a seat next to Spielberg.

At this time, he also asked what was on his mind.

Steve, what's going on with those two people at Marvel?

It's just that Ethan is so curious. Who made Marvel so awesome in the movie field in his previous life? Although they are still just a little Karami in this era, in the future, they will be the only company in the world to make movies into TV series!

You mean Roy and Howard? Spielberg didn't mean to hide anything, and said directly: That's it. After George wrote the script of this movie, he was full of confidence in the movie, so he and I contacted Marvel and wanted them to draw a set of comics for me...

At the beginning, Marvel thought George was a lunatic because no one had ever done such a thing before. Before the movie was released or even shot, George wanted to change the movie into a comic? This kind of behavior To them, that’s just unreasonable!”

But after reading George's script, Marvel was immediately impressed by his genius idea. They said that if George could film the content in the script, then they would definitely create a short story based on George's movie Comics, so...

They're coming.

‘Is there such a thing? ’

Ethan was stunned for a moment.

Because in his past life memory, he could not find any information related to the Star Wars comics.

He didn't know if it was because he was ill-informed or because he really wasn't.

but……

It's not important right?

After hearing this gossip, Ethan immediately pursed his lips and laughed.

Because he discovered that George Lucas turned out to be a madman!

Although Star Wars did become America's national IP in the end, as Spielberg said, no one can guarantee that the movie will be a hit before it is officially released. Under such circumstances, George Lucas directly contacted Marvel to make comics?

oh--

This really gives me confidence in my work!

And Ethan, who was already very interested in witnessing history, became even more excited because he knew——

George Lucas is definitely going to flip over today!

In his previous life, Ethan heard a report that until the second before the movie Star Wars came out at the box office, people were still questioning, what kind of garbage was this movie?

Because many people in the industry don't understand it.

Including publisher Fox!

And it is precisely because Fox did not understand this movie that when purchasing the rights, Fox did not want to spend too much money at all. It just bought the distribution rights of a single movie of Star Wars, and as for other possible subsequent ones Development?

They don't want it at all!

Therefore, when Star Wars exploded, George Lucas rocketed to the top and became one of the most powerful directors in Hollywood.

There is no other reason than that he holds the strongest movie copyright in all of America!

It is precisely because Ethan knew this that when Spielberg told him that George Lucas was confident in his work, he wanted to know how miserable this future great director would be now. And after the movie is officially released...

Come on!

Even though Ethan was mentally prepared, he was still dumbfounded. For the first half hour of the screening, he didn't even know what he was watching. The movie on the screen seemed to have no plot. Except for some special scenery, Ethan didn't remember anything.

But this is not the point. Looking back, Ethan becomes even more confused.

Because this version of the movie doesn't even have special effects.

In his previous life, the impact wave effects that impressed him deeply were now only a few wooden arrows; the scene of the Millennium Falcon in action was a historical image in reality, and he didn't know where Lucas got the planes in the dogfight; and when Da When S. Vader appeared on the stage, Ethan even laughed out loud...

Although he was a layman, he could still tell that the original voice of the other party was used in the current movie.

The dark lord's unprocessed voice really doesn't feel oppressive at all!

An ordinary conversation is no different from playing house!

When these facts emerged, Ethan immediately understood why in his previous life, countless people in the industry were not optimistic about the Star Wars movie.

He understands better why Fox has become a recognized loser in Hollywood.

If he had no memory of his past life, he would definitely be cursing a special code now!

The fact that this product is wrong is too serious!

And just like what he complained about, after the movie ended, no matter it was Fox executives, Marvel painters, or Lucas's friends, they all gave the movie bad reviews.

Marvel's Roy Thomas and Howard Kazin put it tactfully -

Oh George, with all due respect, what your film and script show...

There is still a certain gap...

Brian Palma and John Milius were friends of George Lucas.

So they chose to tell the truth:

Brother, if we remember correctly, when we first set foot in the film industry, our mentors would all say the same thing to us, that is, how to make the audience understand our work, and now... we don't know if the public can understand it. I understand, but we really don’t understand…”

If the words of the first few people were relatively mild, saving some face for Lucas, then when the Fox executives spoke, they were furious——

Oh my God! George! What the hell were you filming! Was that a movie we just watched? It was a piece of shit! We have no idea how you ended up in a piece of shit! You spent millions on shit! How could you spend millions to shoot something like this? Even if I asked a primary school student to shoot it, I think he would be better than you!

Can your movie really be released? Oh! Sxxt! - What nonsense am I talking about! What I want to say is, do you think there will be theaters willing to release your movie?

No! I can tell you right now! No!

The hoarse roar made Lucas, who was still confident, stunned on the spot.

Judging from his confused look, he seemed to be ready to receive flowers and applause.

Everyone...are you...telling the truth?

The young man with a beard asked with a stiff expression.

Is my movie...really...as bad as you say?

The intermittent words showed his inner panic, and just as everyone at the scene wanted to nod in agreement, Spielberg suddenly raised his right hand and said: Oh brother——

I love your movies so much!

real!

This is the greatest movie I've ever seen!

When this word appears...

Everyone there! Even Ethan was shocked!

He never imagined that Spielberg could tell lies with his eyes open!

Can a movie with this level of completion be called a movie?

It’s really a piece of cake!

When everyone was surprised, Spielberg said again:

Oh friends, I know what you think. You think this movie has no highlights, or in other words, it doesn't even meet the passing standards. It's the kind of garbage that makes people avoid it when it appears on the ground. . But I want to say that the reason why this happened is because George did not finish the visual effects. When he finished all the content...

This will definitely be the best movie in the history of cinema!

‘…’

Okay!

Ethan was convinced.

He thought he was here to have fun, but he didn't expect that Spielberg would show his intuition about what a world-famous director is in front of him. What he saw was obviously a bunch of garbage pictures, but in the end he was able to turn these pictures into What will be the result after the visual effects are completed?

oh--

No matter how you look at it, this thing is nonsense——

Also thinking it was nonsense were Fox executives.

After listening to Spielberg's shouting, a fat middle-aged man suddenly said:

Oh Steven, all of us know that you are an excellent director, but we know even more that you are George's good friend, so your words are of reference to us, but they have no reference value.

You said the poor screen performance we just saw was because the visual effects were not finished?

Then please tell me...

“What about the bad story content?”

So far! We don't even know what we are looking at!

Can any of you tell me what story George is telling with this movie?

Who can tell?

hold head high!

Fox executives yelled at Spielberg.

Even if Spielberg is the most famous director in Hollywood at the moment...

That's no use either!

Because it doesn't change the fact that they think Star Wars is a piece of shit!

And his words also caused everyone around him to nod slightly.

Yes!

Although they don't have Spielberg's unbridled imagination, they can still tell whether a movie has special effects or not! They also know that the movie just shown is a semi-finished product, but the unfinished visual effects cannot cover up the narrative...

Even if the visual effects are not finished, now that the movie has been edited, the story must be complete!

But now?

Maybe only George Lucas and Steven Spielberg understood the entire scene, right?

However, Fox executives’ doubts did not affect Spielberg.

He glanced at Lucas, and the expectant look in his eyes made him continue to speak——

I admit that George's film has some narrative problems.

As soon as these words came out, Lucas's eyes suddenly dimmed.

Everyone at the scene also breathed a sigh of relief.

Spielberg finally stopped telling lies with his eyes open.

But before they could express their approval, Spielberg added: However, the narrative problem can be improved. After today, I will work with him to edit the film again. I believe that after the correction, Movies will definitely show their greatness.”

‘…’

Everyone present was almost defeated by Spielberg.

They just couldn't understand, how could Spielberg be so stubborn?

Fox executives were even furious after hearing this!

Steven! Do you know what you are talking about? We originally agreed to release the movie this summer! But now you are telling me to re-edit it?

oh--

I think you should know better than me how much time this will take, right?

And, if I remember correctly, you still have a movie on your body now?

Yes, but I can put down my work first and help George complete this epic work. Spielberg looked at the other party very calmly.

You... Fox executives were speechless when Spielberg retorted.

As much as they'd like to say they feel Star Wars is unsalvageable, when the current box-office record holder says he's willing to put down his own work to help Lucas...

No one can refute this!

There is no way, in this world of Hollywood, whoever can make money has a louder voice!

What about the time? Do you want to postpone it?

No... I think this movie only needs simple modifications to be released. If we don't continue this endless quarrel, it should be released in the summer...

Although everyone at the scene didn't know who gave Spielberg the courage to say that a piece of shit could be released with simple modifications. But at the same time, they can only believe Spielberg. Because they knew they were limited and couldn't save the movie.

As Spielberg finished speaking, the Fox screening fell into silence.

Several Fox executives looked at each other for a while and finally reached an agreement.

Okay, Steven, if this movie can be released on time this summer, then we will not hold you responsible. At the same time, I also want to know...how to promote this movie?

The fat Fox executive said: We are all in the movie business, and we should all know that the promotion of a movie needs to be carried out at least three months before the movie is released.

It's February now, and summer is only three months away. It's precisely because according to plan, the promotion of Star Wars should start, so we have today's movie viewing party.

But now... He spread his hands and said, We don't understand the movie ourselves, how should we promote it?

When this question came up, everyone at the scene nodded.

Two Marvel artists, Roy Thomas and Howard Kazin said:

Yes, we are watching movies today because we want to get inspiration and make comics.

But now...we don't understand...

John Milius and Brian Palma also said:

Without understanding the movie, publicists really can't make a publicity plan.

In Spielberg's view, this problem is not a problem at all——

This matter is very simple. George can tell you what the movie is going to show...

The suggestion made George Lucas nod.

At the same time, hope was restored to his face.

However, before Spielberg could finish what he said, Fox vetoed it righteously, No! Steven! We can listen to you on other matters! But this matter is absolutely not allowed! George himself didn't even think about it. How dare we make a publicity plan based on his description even if the film is clearly shot?

While speaking, Fox executives also glanced at other people present. On this issue, regardless of whether they are people from Marvel or friends of Lucas, they all agree.

Such a situation made George Lucas's eyes dim again.

He sat aside decadently, a little at a loss.

The same goes for Spielberg. At this time, he also discovered that he really couldn't convince everyone.

But Ethan, who witnessed all this with his own eyes, was a little emotional.

Although the memory of his previous life told him that the release of Star Wars was very bumpy, he did not expect that the real process would be so painful.

When the whole world was questioning George Lucas, the pressure he was under was unimaginable.

At the same time, Ethan also understood why the relationship between Spielberg and Lucas in his previous life was so good that it was like a glue.

Whatever special effects Spielberg wants, Industrial Light and Magic will do it until he is satisfied... Spielberg wants to develop a big IP, and the bearded man will give it to him for works like Raiders of the Lost Ark...

When the whole world questioned Lucas, only Spielberg stood firmly on his side!

I helped him talk without saying anything, and at the same time helped him re-edit the movie!

This kind of support in times of need can indeed be remembered for a lifetime.

And just when Ethan felt that this trip was full of rewards, not only did he get help from Spielberg, but he also saw the original version of Star Wars, and even witnessed the future boss being frustrated, a voice suddenly got in. into his ears.

Ethan——

That was Spielberg calling him.

ah?

Ethan was a little confused when his name was suddenly called.

Isn't he now a man in the melon field?

Why do these melons take the initiative to call him?

He doesn't understand!

But in the next second, Spielberg already told the reason, Although it is an accident to bring you here today, I still want to know, what do you think of this movie?

Spielberg said: I think you should understand this movie, right?

Because I heard you laughing while watching a movie just now.

These words made everyone present focus on Ethan!

That look of surprise was no different from seeing a monster!

Ethan was even more confused like a two-foot-long monk!

Although he did laugh just now, what he was laughing at was that Lucas' directing skills were so rubbish!

He didn't even know what kind of story the movie just shown was about!

Of course, you can't tell such a big truth, right?

Now he is from Spielberg's side!

You have to help him blow it no matter what!

And just when Ethan was thinking about how to describe it so that it can be beautiful, how to describe it so that it can be carved, a refutation suddenly came——

Oh Steven - you're not interesting anymore!

Who in America doesn't know that Ethan is your friend?

When Pac-Man was launched, you publicly declared that he was the best game producer in the world! When such words appear, do you still have any credibility in your mutual comments?

You asked him what he thought of the movie?

Oh - I believe - he will definitely speak for you -

These words made the surrounding audience nod slightly, and they thought there was no problem.

Ethan, on the other hand, was a little embarrassed because he was really thinking about flattery.

Spielberg was a little unconvinced, You can't do this.

Now that Ethan has watched the movie, he has the right to speak.

Ethan thinks this is quite right!

Even if he blew a few words, no one would die, right?

and……

With the blessing of his past life memories, he is not afraid of being slapped in the face at all!

In this case, his blowing is not called blowing, but he has the vision to discover beauty!

But Fox executives didn't want to continue. In their view, this pull made no sense. Oh, Steven, I can understand how you feel.

Ethan, I also have to apologize to you first.

It's not that I don't want you to speak, but your evaluation is a niche here.

Because whether it's Roy or Howard...whether it's John or Brian...

None of us understood the movie.

Ethan was a little unhappy hearing these words.

He felt that he could spray without thinking.

What does it mean that his evaluation is niche?

Are you not given the right to speak out if you disagree?

Why is your special number even more outrageous than that of Fo Bole?

But before he could criticize, Fox executives turned their attention to Spielberg.

Steven, now that the matter has come to this, let's be honest. If you really want to help George, you might as well communicate with Ethan!

Let him create a game based on your two ideas...

This way, we can still have something to offer when negotiating with theaters.

We can tell them, hey! This movie is going to be a hit!

Because the inventor of Pac-Man and Snake made a game specifically for this movie! He thinks the movie is good, so why don't you show it?

‘…’

‘? ? ? ’

‘! ! ! ’

When these words appeared, Ethan was shocked!

He forcefully suppressed the insulting words he was about to blurt out!

At this moment, he even suspected that his ears had heard wrongly!

Fox executives, seeing no future in Star Wars, wanted Spielberg to convince them to make a Star Wars game to promote the movie?

Oh! My! God!

What kind of crazy imagination is this special code!

Ah, no—

What kind of divine advice is this special code?

Now Ethan only has one idea in his mind!

That is to promise him!

He wants to change the name of Space Invaders to Star Wars!

Mi Luohua and Atari came up with a new machine full of gimmicks?

It also comes with a lot of new games?

so what?

These things are all nonsense in front of Star Wars!

In his previous life, Space Invaders could become a nationwide hit just by riding on the popularity of Star Wars, but in this life, Space Invaders, which was based on Star Wars, became the real Star Wars After that... who can beat it with the special code!

Ethan didn’t believe it! When games and movies are released together, will Americans still be able to see Milowa and Atari game consoles?

When the Millennium Falcon spaceship flies across the screen, there will be no other game in the land of America! Just with the name Star Wars, the special code can kill everything!

As for the reason?

Because its name is Star Wars!

It’s as simple as a special code!

Thinking of this, Ethan, who had been silent until now, spoke.

Oh Steven, you are right, I like this movie very much! In other words, this movie gave me a complete inspiration about video games...

‘? ? ? ’

When these words appeared, everyone at the scene was stunned!

The Fox executive who had previously suggested that Ethan make a game was even more wide-eyed!

Because he couldn't understand why there were still people in this world who could understand this movie!

He really just said it casually!

His bigger idea is just to ridicule Spielberg!

But now...

Oh - Ethan - do you really understand? He asked with difficulty, his Adam's apple twitching.

Ethan ignored him, because when he turned his attention to Spielberg and Lucas, the faces of these two guys were filled with excited surprise.

Steven... Ethan said, Do you remember that I came to you last year?

While you're making the movie.

You and I talked about the origins of the idea for your new movie, Close Encounters of the Third Kind.

You may not believe it, but at that time, I already had an idea related to aliens popping up in my mind. I felt that if aliens were made into a game, it would definitely be welcomed by the public.

But unfortunately, that inspiration has never been perfected by me.

Because in your movie, the aliens are friendly, and how do you put a friendly alien in a video game? That's a problem I can't solve.

But when I just watched George's movie, I discovered that as long as the aliens' camp identity is simply changed, from good to evil, from friendly contact with the earth to invasion of the earth, the game's battle mechanism Just came out...

And when I saw the Millennium Falcon spaceship crossing the screen, I thought it would be a good idea to let players play human pilots and drive the spaceship to resist aliens...

Having said this, Ethan gave George Lucas a thumbs up.

George, Star Wars is a very good movie. What they don't understand is that they lack imagination, and it has nothing to do with your own idea.

When these words appeared, Lucas, who had been sad for a long time, was excited!

He patted Spielberg beside him and shouted excitedly: Oh Steven! You are right!

Ethan just understands my movies!

While speaking, he jumped up, rushed to Ethan and gave him a big hug, Oh Ethan - thank you - thank you - thank you for understanding me -

And Spielberg...

Now only thirty-one years old, he looked around and spread his hands.

That look almost had it written on his face——

I think everyone here is rubbish!

His arrogant appearance also made everyone at the scene feel a little unconfident. If Ethan was simply bragging, they could still say that Ethan was speaking favorably for them from his own perspective.

But now?

Ethan gave a game idea on the spot!

Aliens invade the earth?

Players control the Millennium Falcon to fight aliens?

hiss!

How on earth do these guys get this kind of inspiration from those messed up movies!

They really can’t understand!

Is this the gap between them and geniuses?

This kind of thing is too special and outrageous, right?

And Ethan...

Feeling George Lucas's warm embrace, his face was filled with a happy smile.

Tell me what this is all about!

He just wanted to witness history, but ended up living history?

He obviously wanted to ride on the popularity of Star Wars, but the original owner thanked him crazily?

oh--

My special code is awesome!

Note: ① The contents of Star Wars written in this article are all described by the participants themselves. The specific compilation comes from the memoirs of Star Wars: Saving Marvel written by Roy Thomas, in February 1977. Star Wars held its first preview screening, and only Spielberg in the audience firmly believed that Star Wars would be a success. It is precisely because he helped Lucas and helped him re-edit the first ten minutes of the movie to make the rhythm of the movie clearer (Lucas's directing skills are really recognized as garbage), so his own movie Close Encounters of the Third Kind will be postponed. ②John Milius is the screenwriter of Apocalypse Now. ③Brian Palma is the director of Scarface and Mission: Impossible. ④Lucas gave up the director's fee in exchange for the Star Wars copyright, but... no matter how you look at it, Fox is losing money.
