Producer [American Entertainment]

At the beginning of 1982, "ET", which was aliased "The Life of a Little Boy" (==In a sense, Spielberg is also a nameless), ended all filming.The actors are finished, and the post-production begins.On Spielberg's recommendation, the film's post-production special effects were done with Spielberg's friend George.A collaboration with Lucas' special effects company, Industrial Light and Magic.

Lucas is also a director, having studied under Francis.Capola (the director of the famous film "The Godfather"), his most outstanding masterpiece is the Star Wars series.

The meaning of Star Wars to the United States, to be exaggerated, in the eyes of some sci-fi nerds, Lucas is God.Every year Lucas' Industrial Light & Magic - the place where Star Wars was born - has to deal with countless incidents of infiltrators helplessly. The San Francisco police said nothing about this, because these people have no malicious intentions, just crazy Star Wars fans. Wanting to prove that Star Wars is real (…), even some police officers, although they don’t believe that Star Wars is real, would like to visit the interior of Industrial Light and Magic in the name of investigating the case.

Presumably this is enough to show how successful Star Wars is. This series has brought Lucas considerable money and fame.However, due to some minor disputes with the Directors Guild of America, Lucas unilaterally chose to withdraw from the Directors Guild, no longer being a director, and switched careers to work behind the scenes, special effects and production.

With the special effects of Star Wars, his industrial light and magic is now well-known in the Hollywood industry. Many movies want to find industrial light and magic for post-production. ET can make an appointment because of Spielberg's face .

Just last year, Lucas was the screenwriter and Spielberg was the director. The two collaborated on "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which also competed with William's 007 for the annual box office.

Once a competitor, now a partner, both parties have adapted well to this change of identity.This is Hollywood, you never know when they will become rivals, and when they will work together again.

Before starting the cooperation, Spielberg was the host and invited William and Lucas to his house for an authentic Jewish dinner. The purpose was to let the two get acquainted in advance and connect with each other.

At the dinner table, William and Lucas both gave Spielberg face and talked happily, and no one cared about the little box office dispute before.After all, their methods of competition are very formal, and there is no such thing as framing their opponents. They win with integrity and lose with confidence.Before the two met, they must have heard each other's names, and they also had the intention of intersecting each other. Spielberg's matchmaking was naturally a matter of course.

Spielberg is also happy to have two friends he values ​​as friends.William is his new friend, and Lucas is an old friend he has cooperated with many times and attaches great importance to.In this ET movie, there is also a small surprise prepared by Spielberg for Lucas.

Just tonight, Spielberg unveiled the surprise.

——In the ET movie, it is mentioned that there is a philosopher on an alien planet named Master Yoda, and this Master Yoda is from Lucas' masterpiece "Star Wars".

"You really didn't find out before? Steven can really hide it." ET is going to cooperate with Industrial Light and Magic, and it is not easy to hide it until now.

"He is an absolute mystic. I know him too well. I guess if it weren't for the party tonight, he would have been able to hide it from me until the post-production of the film. Thanks to you, otherwise suddenly I'm going to be ashamed in front of my staff hearing that name," Lucas joked.

William laughed out of embarrassment.He also has a deep understanding of Spielberg's mysticism: "The happiest thing about finishing shooting is that I don't have to wear a work card named 'Tom' anymore."

In order to keep ET secret, Spielberg really did everything possible, even when he himself entered the set, he wore a work permit called "power".

Spielberg never let anyone who is famous in the crew go.

Including MiG, who became popular because of the Venice Film Festival.Under Sabatino's instruction, since the Venice Film Festival, MiG has been hyped up by the "Chicago Sun" and Skype forums, and MiG's monstrous appearance makes this hype extremely easy.With MiG as a shield, William's pressure was relieved a lot.

Sabatino said: "Finally the MiGs have some real use for them."

MiG is also willing to help William attract attention. He has the same idea as Sabatino. William can do whatever he wants, and he can do whatever he wants... Then I will be on top!

"Steven must have had a bad taste." William said to Lucas at the dinner table, "Mig's work ID is called Jerry, you know? Mig is my friend, we always stand together . Come to think of it, Tom and Jerry, I swear I heard quite a few crew members giggling."

"Oh, my friend, you do me wrong. I just heard from your cousin that you like cat and mouse very much. I thought you would."

"I will definitely like it before I was ten years old!" William reiterated again helplessly.

But... no one believed it.

Including Spielberg's wife Kate, she often surfs the Internet when she has nothing to do at home, and visits Skype forums and so on.She also shared William's post with her husband on purpose.

When Lucas was at the dinner table, he heard that William had not yet joined the Producers Union of America. He gave William a very sincere suggestion: "What kind of associations are these? Unions are really annoying and annoying, but to be honest, Without it, it can really make you suffer. I understand Wheeler's concerns about not suggesting you apply to join at the beginning, I just want to say to you, when it invites you, please don't refuse."

William nodded without any objection.Because the reason why he has not joined the union so far is not that he refuses to join, but that the invitation that should have been sent by the union should have been sent a long time ago, but it has not been sent for a long time, so he just forgot.

"If invited, of course I will not refuse."

"Leave this to me and Steven." Lucas is a very familiar character, which is why he can become friends with the relatively silent Spielberg, which is very complementary.

After dinner, Lucas extended an invitation to William and Spielberg to stay at his home while they were in San Francisco.

The headquarters of Industrial Light and Magic is located in the Letterman Digital Art Center in San Francisco. After the post-production started, William and Spielberg inevitably went to participate in the production from time to time. It is impossible for them to frequently fly between San Francisco and Los Angeles, or always live in hotel.Lucas thoughtfully lent his villa in San Francisco.

Spielberg went happily: "Even if you don't tell me, I will ask you for the key."

William could only politely decline, because Silicon Valley is in San Francisco.If he went to San Francisco and lived in someone else's house... I couldn't imagine what his cousin would think.

"Oh, look at me, I forgot." Lukas slapped his forehead, and laughed generously that he had an oolong. With such a hearty atmosphere, it's no wonder that he has a wide range of friends.

Fortunately, William did not agree to live at Lucas's house, because in March when the season changed, he lost to the flu again.

Influenza has become the unspeakable big boss in William's life on earth, and he gets sick every year.This time it was extremely brutal.William suddenly developed a high fever in the middle of the night, and Sabatino stayed with him for a whole week, but it didn't get better. Although the temperature was not so high, it was still in a low-grade state.Limbs are weak, dizzy, and there is an abnormal flush on the face.

Sabatino sleeps with William in his arms every night.

"I will infect you." William resisted Sabatino's approach.

"This is exactly what I want. Infect me and you'll be fine." Sabatino didn't know where he heard the strange remarks, and he believed in it. He wanted to bear all the pain for William.

"Are you an idiot?" William said hoarsely, cursing the whimsical Sabatino weakly.

Sabatino hugged William tightly through the blanket, not going to discuss with a patient who was more idiot.Obviously William can be a fool at home with peace of mind, but he has to work hard to make some damn movie. Shouldn't enjoying movies be watched at home or in a cinema?Sabatino couldn't help venting his anger and felt that it was because he was busy with movies that William kept getting sick and uncomfortable.

He really wanted to tell William to stop doing it, but he knew that he should respect William's ideas.

Looking at the sleeping William, Sabatino stretched out his hand cautiously, and described William's appearance from a distance.His face was flushed, but his lips were very pale. He felt that William had lost weight in the past few days, and his chin was scary.

Oddly enough, when Sabatino found out, his hand had been involuntarily resting on William's lips for a while.

Too much longing, longing to the point of being overwhelmed, fingers trembling as they tried to caress some blood from William's lips.So cold, yet so hot.He couldn't even tell what he was feeling.

When will you be mine?

William in his sleep moved his lips uncomfortably, trying to move the thing that gave him a strange touch away from his face, but Sabatino naturally let it go quickly.His deep eyes could not move away from those extremely thin light-colored lips, he heard a voice in his heart saying to him, just try to kiss, feel what it feels like to kiss William's lips, just try .

good or not?

Chapter 89 No.80 Nine Days to Earth: lightofmylife, fireofmyloins.Mysin, mysoul.

In the end I kissed~ (≧▽≦)/~

It is such a simple sentence that Sabatino spent two lifetimes, nearly 50 years, to realize it.Is it long?long.does it worth?value!He is willing to exchange these 50 years for a kiss, not a kiss on the cheek and forehead, but a real kiss with lips and tongue; he is also willing to spend the rest of his life waiting for William to fall in love with him one day. Chance.

As long as it was William, he would.

From that year's encounter in Casablanca Flowers, he never had a choice other than William.The cool young man who once thought it was unattainable, but only found out that he has a softer heart than anyone else.

When the lips of the two touched, Sabatino was so excited that his heart was trembling.A real kiss is more beautiful than any kiss in his imagination.It felt as if he stood at the top of the world and kissed the white clouds of heaven; it was also like when he was really young, he was reluctant to swallow the last piece of pudding in one gulp, so he could only taste it very carefully, silky and cool, with a feeling of Rich sweetness that explodes in the mouth.

The whole world is lit up.

As long as he thinks of the cold fragrance that belongs to William, which is now entangled with him, Sabatino will be so stimulated that he can't help himself, and the blood in his whole body can't help but gather somewhere in Xiasanlu. sharp.

I really want to have him at this moment and never be separated again.

Sabatino held his heart, as if he had done something wrong, his lips barely touched, and he wanted to leave quickly in fear.Because no matter how good the feeling was, he didn't want to wake William up and make him discover something.And spurned himself in his heart, how could he be so despicable, without William knowing...

At this moment, a sudden change occurred. William didn't wake up, but opened his mouth slightly.Probably because he was so uncomfortable that he couldn't breathe, and wanted to get more air, it was like a silent invitation, with the deep bewitchment of the devil.

Sabatino couldn't hold it back at all, and when he deftly stuck his tongue in, he met the warm tip of William's tongue that he had dreamed of.Strange yet familiar, incredibly slippery.At that moment, Sabatino's whole body was numb to the tip of his coccyx as if he had been electrified.

His body couldn't help but soften, he didn't want to move at all, he just wanted to hold the fragrant and soft William in his arms, taste his taste, until the end of time.

The decades-old firewood was instantly ignited, making Sabatino feel horny.

It's more tormenting than ever...

...But I wish I could be tortured like this forever.

William, lightofmylife, fireofmyloins. Mysin, mysoul.

……

I don’t know if Sabatino’s heresy before was really hitting the medical point. After William woke up the next day, he was much better. He no longer had a low-grade fever or discomfort, and he was full of energy. , more than a hundred times more comfortable.I can finally bid farewell to the illness, and I really hope I don't see it next year.

On the contrary, Sabatino's eyes were darkened, and his spirit was a little sluggish, as if he didn't sleep well last night.

Just when William thought it was his turn to care about his cousin, Sabatino ran away in a hurry, saying that there was something wrong with the Seattle branch and he had to be in charge in person.

William had an unbelievable look on his face, not Bill.Has Gates been in Seattle?What needs to go with his cousin, the founder?Nothing will happen to Microsoft, right?

On the private plane, Mr. Special Assistant cast a particularly veiled glance at his boss, who was out of his mind, and thought to himself, he still wants to catch up with someone with this little talent.Don't you know that the most important skill in chasing people is to have a thick skin?

Sabatino felt that it was too disrespectful to William last night.Even if William is ignorant, he shouldn't take advantage of others.He wanted William to be willing, he wanted him to fall in love with him instead of forcing him, if he was willing to use force, he didn't know how many times he could have succeeded in his previous life.He decided not to appear in front of William until he regained control of his desire. This was regarded as punishment for his offensive behavior last night. William's lips...

stop!Stop thinking about it!

After confirming with Mr. Special Assistant that there is nothing wrong with Microsoft, except that Sabatino lost his nerve (Mr. Special Assistant’s original words), William regrouped and took Wendy and MiG to fight again with Spielberg and Lucas. In the post-production of ET.

On March 1982, 3, the Oscars were once again held at the Los Angeles Music Center of the Lesumbra family.

This is the fourth Oscar.

William, Spielberg and Lucas attended the awards show together that year, but none of the three walked the red carpet or brought their families.They are very clear that this time the protagonist of Oscar is not themselves.

Of William's two films last year, only "007: Top Secret", which he collaborated with Albert, was nominated for an Oscar, and there were still a few insignificant awards, such as best original score or something."The Man From Earth", adapted from Jeremy's sci-fi short story, was well-received in the sci-fi world, but it didn't even get an Oscar nomination.Miguel, the director of Earthlings, and editor Jeremy, didn't attend either.

Spielberg and Lucas' "Raiders of the Lost Ark 1" is the same, and 007 has become a pair of difficult brothers.A box-office hit, but not a hit at the Oscars, with only a handful of under-the-radar awards nominated.

After the three sat directly on the seats in the awards hall, they started a journey of comforting each other.

Spielberg said to William: "It is well known that Oscar does not like science fiction. This does not mean that your earthlings are not good. The Venice Film Festival proves this. The three major awards in Europe are very discerning."

William said to Lucas: "The best vision must be yours, and this will give Industrial Light and Magic a great boost in business."

Lucas said to Spielberg: "At least you have a best director nomination."

After finishing speaking, the three of them looked at each other and smiled. As for whether they felt sour or not, only they knew.

The media specially gave several shots of the trio here, and in the live post on the skype forum, they jokingly called it "We just sit here quietly and watch you pretend. Anyway, we were the first, second and third box office last year." Eight" trio.

Oscar has a long-standing trend of "not liking sci-fi, let alone big productions", and it is becoming more and more popular. This year's Oscar hit "Golden Pond" is simply an old film, which explores the generation gap of the elderly. The actors It's all old drama, Henry.Fonda and Catherine.Hepburn, their entire crew was about to write "for the old white men in the academy" on their foreheads.

It's not that "Golden Pond" is not excellent, it's just that the utilitarianism is very obvious.

As the sponsor of the Oscars and Academy, MGM failed to win any favors at this year's Oscars.MGM's 007, which was promoted last year, and Earthman, who accidentally exploded in the VCD market, were all wiped out.

So in the trio, William is the worst. 007 is a big high-tech production, and the people on earth are simply soft sci-fi.Oscar did not give MGM face, and the friendship with Wheeler has been almost a year since his death—as he once said—no longer works.People go tea cool.Nothing more than the case.

The big winner at last year's Oscars, this year can only laugh at others as winners.

William is quite indifferent to this. He has a box office of 007 million (5000) and a box office of [-] million (Smoke) eighth. There are millions and tens of millions of people on earth, what else is he not satisfied with?

Others are artistic?he has money!

Anyone else have an Oscar?he has money!

Does anyone else care?He not only has attention, but also money!

Even Spielberg and Lucas had to admire William's openness.Wen Wu is the first, Wu Wu is the second, how many people who are engaged in movies can really take it lightly in front of the awards?

The final result of the Oscars that night was not a big surprise. "Golden Pond" won several awards including Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Actor and Best Actress.

007 and Raiders of the Lost Ark... divided up all kinds of completely unknown awards, and then from the best supporting actor and actress to the best screenplay, they have nothing to do with these two blockbusters.Raiders of the Lost Ark was better, at least he was nominated for a lot of awards, although he didn't win any of them, but 007 didn't even get nominated for a consolation award.

On the Skype forum, there were one after another of distressed William messages.

But reality is not a novel, and it is really difficult to achieve a balance between commerciality and artistry.As a hard science fiction ET, I'm afraid it will be suspended next year. Although the trio didn't say anything, they knew very well in their hearts. They could only comfort themselves again, it's okay, at least we have money.

At the follow-up party after the Oscar party, the trio also attended with great interest.Lucas stayed to socialize for his own ILM, and William and Spielberg disappeared after a while without showing up.It's not that they are so disrespectful to the host, but that Spielberg found two friends at the party and wanted to introduce William.

In fact, rather than saying that the other party is Spielberg's friend, it is better to say that they are two young people whom Spielberg particularly admires.

Just like the producer Catherine who was with Spielberg, Spielberg discovered the talents of these two young people. When he could help, he didn't mind helping each other. edge.

The two young men were named Robert.Zemeckis and Bob.Gail.

They met as students at USC Film University and became a screenwriting duo.

"Speaking of which, you are still alumni, right?" Spielberg introduced to William in this way, "I heard that you also attended some screenwriting courses at USC."

William nodded. It was still at Wheeler's suggestion to attend the audit, but he didn't have a diploma, and he listened intermittently, and he hasn't listened to the entire course so far.

However, Wheeler suggested that William’s motivation to go to USC was not pure. It was not for William to learn anything, but for him to smile and say to Robert and Bob in today’s situation: "Senior brother, you need to take care of me as a younger brother in the future."

Robert and Bob are young only for Spielberg, for William they are much older than him.

Robert and Bob hastened to be polite.How dare they "take care" of William, they are still struggling at the bottom of Hollywood, but William seems to be at the top of the pyramid.But they were also very happy to be treated so politely by William. Who doesn't like to be praised and expected to be able to accomplish a lot in the future?

Many people in the Hollywood circle are graduates of USC, or have attended lectures at USC. An alumni is definitely a weapon to get closer, just like William's "Jewish" status, it is an absolute bonus .
