Producer [American Entertainment]

The fate of Robert, Bob and Stillberg starts with Robert's graduation short film at university.

After Spielberg became famous, he also studied at USC and is considered an honorary alumnus of USC.In other words, Spielberg's reasons for attending USC are similar to William's.It's just that Spielberg is interested in mutual benefit with USC, has a diploma, and is often invited by USC to participate in the selection of some graduate works.Just a few years ago at a graduation short film show, Robert's graduation work was appreciated by Spielberg.

So after graduation, Robert and Bob co-produced two films, both of which were supervised by Spielberg.

Spielberg gave him the greatest help he could, but unfortunately, the works of Robert and Bob were not satisfactory. Both films ended dismal with "good reputation, but box office failure".

During this time, Robert and Bob also wrote the screenplay for Spielberg's "1941," which turned out to be...

How should I say it?Have you ever heard the name "1941" in the list of a series of conferred films directed by the great director Stillberg?Most people's answer is definitely "no".This is where the problem lies. "1941" is a rare film in Stillberg's directorial career that was neither well-received nor well-received.

The scariest thing in Hollywood has never been the black history. After all, black and red are also a kind of red. What they fear most is often being forgotten, without lights.

This made Robert and Bob very guilty. They felt that they not only failed to live up to Stillberg's expectations, but also caused him such a famous guide to stumble. They were very embarrassed and ashamed to see him again.

Therefore, when Robert and Bob had an idea for a new movie, they dared not go to Spielberg again anyway, because they didn't have that face.Even if they are confident in the script called "Back to the Future" this time, they are still inexplicably afraid to pit Spielberg again and prepare to fight on their own.

Then, they successfully sold their idea to Columbia in September of the previous year (1980) and got a script contract.The first draft of the script was completed in December last year (9).

But the bad luck of Robert and Bob did not come to an end. After reading the script, the person in charge of Columbia quickly stated that they decided to sell the script to other giants because some high-level executives in Columbia felt that the script was lacking. Some commercial, more suitable for children to watch.

Spielberg has always had some doubts about Columbia because of the ET incident. When he heard Robert and Bob's introduction here, he hummed unceremoniously: "They will definitely regret it in the future."

Robert and Bob have no confidence to agree with these words.Although they were also very dissatisfied that Columbia wanted to recommend them to Disney, they felt that this was an insult in disguise, and they justly rejected Columbia's suggestion.However, after they took the script and started another round of self-recommendation and promotion in the script departments of major giants, the results were not satisfactory.

In more than a year, the script has undergone a revision, and the three giants refused without hesitation. The reason is as Columbia said at the beginning, and they all feel that this script is for children.

In the 80s, influenced by sexual liberation and hippie culture, the demand for comedy films in the film market was more focused on the "sex market" for adults.To put it simply, they think there are not enough nasty jokes in the script.

"Maybe I'm really not suitable for this line of work." Bob even said the frustration that he never said.He used to be full of self-confidence in school, thinking that he and Robert were the most talented students, and sooner or later they would make a blockbuster movie with a box office of over [-] million, and then win the Oscar and reach the pinnacle of life.In the end, after graduating, he was beaten by reality countless times before he realized that there are many talented people, but few are truly successful.

Fortunately, this pair is two people.

Robert's character is more tenacious, he kept encouraging his partner, and managed to get an invitation to the Oscar after party: "It said that I can bring a companion, you are willing to risk being misunderstood, Be my companion?"

"Robert?" Bob looked at his humorous brother dumbfounded.

"Hey, listen to me, buddy, even if you want to leave this industry, you must at least leave some wonderful memories, don't you? I haven't been to the Oscars, and I haven't seen those actors and actresses. How dare you say that you are in this industry Mixed?"

Robert stretched out his inviting hand to Bob: "Would you like to go with me to see what the Oscars' follow-up party is like?"

As soon as Bob gritted his teeth, he reached out and touched Robert's hand: "Damn it! Before you leave, go and taste thousands of dollars an ounce of caviar. It's worth my time in Hollywood."

"Tsk, you have to be bolder in your imagination. I heard that the most expensive Austrian caviar costs [-] spoons."

"……you shut up."

Over the years, Bob has thanked his friend Robert countless times for this "last madness", because at the Oscar follow-up party, they met Spielberg and William, thus ushered in The most important turning point in my life.

In fact, Spielberg has known about Robert and Bob's new movie for a long time. After all, he and Columbia hadn't broken up because of ET at the time, so he had some news channels of his own.He has been paying attention to Robert and Bob, and has not been disappointed in them because of the previous failures.He firmly believes that failure is the mother of success, and that past failures will become their future success experience sooner or later.But he also knew that young people love saving face the most, so he didn't act rashly, but just quietly waited for them to think about it.

It just so happened that when he was with William, he met the most helpless Robert and Bob.From their eyes, he saw the familiar confusion he once had when he was young. Should he persist or quit?Are you starving to death in the pursuit of your dreams, or giving up your talents?

So, Spielberg had a brand new idea. He could no longer wait for them to figure it out. He wanted to push them again, lest they really waste their talents because of the hopelessness of failure again and again.

William is a great opportunity for Robert and Bob.

Looking at the style of films made by William in the past, we can know that he is not stingy with swords and slant. Maybe he will be willing to invest in Robert and Bob's films.

"Back to the Future", as the name suggests, is a time-travel drama. Such a theme is not yet popular in today's Hollywood circle, and it is a big upset.The commercial value is not high, but Spielberg thinks Robert and Bob's script is very good (Spielberg has already read it when the script was still in Columbia's hands), according to William's preferences, It would be the novelty he was willing to risk.

In fact, if it wasn't for Spielberg who still has several squeeze plans in his hands, he would be willing to be the producer of "Back to the Future" himself.

"Apart from ET, you probably don't have any other movie plans this year, right?" ET is about to be released during the summer vacation in June this year, and it's time for William to think about new movies.Spielberg spared no effort in recommending to William the two juniors he was optimistic about. He has always been willing to support newcomers, just like when he entered the Hollywood circle, he was supported by countless seniors. He thinks this is what these seniors should do. , New talent is the future of the movie, "You might as well take a look at Robert and Bob's script first and think about it?"

"Although I don't want to hurt you, Steven, my friend, Albert and I have made an appointment to start making a new 007 movie in the second half of the year." William was a little embarrassed. He returned to Los Angeles from San Francisco this time. In addition, I will have a meeting with Albert, the director, and the screenwriter to discuss 007's No.13 movie. They haven't made up their minds about which novel by the original author they want to adapt.

The fire of hope was extinguished once again.

"However, uh, I really believe in Steven's vision. So, if you are willing to wait a few days, you can fax the script to my assistant Wendy first, and after the meeting with 007, I will arrange a time for Wendy to Did Dee contact you?"

"Of course, of course!" Robert and Bob nodded hurriedly, let alone a few days, they would be willing to wait even a year.This is William.Theros, the hottest producer in Hollywood in the past two years!So far, none of the movies that have passed through his hands have hit the street.Regardless of word-of-mouth, at least it is a big hit at the box office.

Robert also added: "In fact, I have the script and preliminary budget sheet with me, and I can hand them over to you now."

"Opportunities are always reserved for those who are prepared." William appreciates the opponent's complete preparation.

On the night of returning to Beverly, William had nothing to do, so he took the 2B250 and read the script of "Back to the Future".He found it to be a really good comedy movie, with some grandfather refutation and the fatalistic philosophy that history doesn't change.

Going back in time and dating my own mother is a bit heavy-handed, but the rest of it is new and interesting.

2B250 is very optimistic about the box office of "Back to the Future".

The good friend S who is still hanging on Skype at this late hour also expressed his confidence in "Back to the Future". He even said to William with emotion: [Your luck is too good, what is destined to make money in the script? Can hit. 】William said, would he say this is the innate skill of the beta star?

Luck may be an illusory thing for people on Earth, but it is not for people of Star Beta. Luck is the same as physical health and luck value, and it can be seen and actually exists.

When leaving Star β, William, as the most remote student of his class who went to the galaxy for the exam, received a special blessing from the Elder's House.They are all eagerly looking forward to the day when William will be able to bring back the advanced experience that made Star β evolve again.No matter what that experience is, they firmly believe that somewhere, the universe has its own destiny.

Seriously, William misses Beta a little bit.Missing the border of the β galaxy, the cosmic spectacle "fluctuating light" that only happened once in 110 is a magnificent scene that cannot be seen on the earth. It is magnificent and soul-stirring.

It would be great if I could take Saba to see it together, but I don’t know if he can accept the setting of "the cousin is an alien".
