Three hundred and sixty second role of contacts(1/2)

Lei Yunrong is a little confused about the purpose of George Lucas and Spielberg's visit.

He didn't believe that he had traveled in person just because he congratulated himself on his acquisition of Lianyi Film Company. And it was a bit late to congratulate him at this time. It has been more than half a month since he acquired Lianyi.

"George, aren't you in San Francisco? Why did you suddenly come to New York?"

"Star Wars 2 has been fully promoted, and I have also brought the crew to the table. Steven knew I would come to find you, so he came with me."

"So that's it! There should be no problem with the premiere where it is held, right?"

George Lucas said with a smile:

"No problem! Cork Corian has everything ready, we don't need to worry about it at all, and he has prepared more grandly than we planned."

"That's good. If something unexpected happens at the premiere, I'll be a little embarrassed to face you."

"When it comes to this, I really admire you, Alan. You actually made Cork Curian retreat with the premiere of "Star Wars 2".

"I should thank you. If it weren't for the huge influence of Star Wars, I wouldn't have allowed Cork Curian to withdraw from the competition from Lianyi Film Company."

Spielberg said:

"You two don't have to be humble. This is actually God's arrangement. If it weren't for Allen's investment, George would have been unable to create Star Wars because he lacked money."

"Haha, that's right. Speaking of which, I was so lucky to meet George." Lei Yunrong said with a smile.

George Lucas also smiled, but after a while he restrained himself and said to Lei Yunrong:

"Allen, you promised to transfer part of your equity after the release of "Star Wars 2". Is this agreement still counting?"

When Lei Yunrong heard George Lucas' words, he realized the purpose of his trip. It seemed that he was worried that he would break his promise because he acquired Lianyi Film Company.

He used to have no foundation in Hollywood, so if George Lucas made any small moves, it would be difficult for him to discover, and even if he discovered them, there would be no way.

But now it’s different. Lei Yunrong acquired Lianyi Film Company, which gave him a lot of influence in Hollywood at once. It would be much more difficult for George Lucas to do anything, so he was worried that Lei Yunrong would go back on his word.

Lei Yunrong looked at George Lucas's a little nervous look and couldn't help but feel a little funny.

Although the agreement between the two of them did not fall on paper, even if Lei Yunrong broke his promise, he and the people outside could not say anything.

But Lei Yunrong did not think about violating the agreement!

Although Lucasfilm's shares are very valuable, if they get into trouble with George Lucas, it will be a bit more worthwhile.

If Lei Yunrong wants to continue to use the influence of Star Wars in the future, it will be greatly reduced. If someone doesn't cooperate with you, you will have no way to do so.

Moreover, the value used by the cash out funds now is not necessarily lower than the shares that have always held in Lucasfilm.

What's more, George Lucas and Spielberg will be an important force in Hollywood for more than 20 years. Compared to getting their friendship, it is really unnecessary to get evil with them.

"Of course, after Star Wars 2 is released, we can find an authoritative third-party evaluation agency to conduct a comprehensive assessment of Lucasfilm, and then the valuation transaction will be based on the valuation of the amount of money it is worth."

Hearing Lei Yunrong's words, George Lucas also smiled and said:

"Okay! This is a matter of course. Then let's wait until Star Wars 2 is released before the giants communicate about this matter."

"No problem! George is actually your worries are redundant, and I also expect you to create greater value."

"It's true that I'm over-concerned, but Alan, you're so sudden that you bought Lianyi Film Company, which made me a little worried for a while."

"I understand, I can give you an accurate statement now. This time I will transfer 20% of the shares, and I will only retain 10%."

"Alan, you've transferred so much?" George Lucas said in surprise.

Lucas thought that it would be good for Lei Yunrong to transfer 10% of the shares, but he didn't expect that he was so generous.

Although this is a good thing for Lucas, he has not prepared so much money!

"That's right, since we work together and I also expect you to make money, so I also hope to be a partner that will make you feel at ease."

"Okay, but Allen, I may not have enough funds to take over that much stake." George Lucas said with a wry smile.

"George, then what do you think about introducing new shareholders?"

"New shareholder? Allen, are you someone who chose it?"

"What do you think of Goldman Sachs?"

"Goldman Sachs?"

"That's right! They are just financial investments and will not interfere with your business."

Lei Yunrong knew that George Lucas valued the most the most, so he would not allow Hollywood institutions, especially Hollywood's eight major investors to invest in Lucas Pictures.

So Lei Yunrong didn't consider them at all, and Wall Street's capital did not have these concerns. With Lucas holding most of the equity, it was difficult for them to eat step by step like Bada.

George Lucas pondered for a while and said:

"No problem! As long as they do not interfere with the company's operations, I have no objection."

Goldman Sachs is a big company of América. If he becomes a shareholder of the company, they can help if Lucasfilm encounters any difficulties in the future.

"Okay! Then, let's discuss how to distribute 20% of the shares at that time." Lei Yunrong said with a smile.

"Allen, can I take over some Lucasfilm shares?" Spielberg asked suddenly.

"Of course! But you have to ask George for specific details, he is the real helm of the company."

"I have no objection." George Lucas said with a smile.

"With Steven's joining, I will be more optimistic about the future of Lucasfilm!" said Lei Yunrong.

George Lucas looked much more relaxed in his entire trip.

However, Lei Yunrong looked at the two Hollywood directors in front of him and couldn't help but think of something and said to George Lucas:

"George, I heard you made an adventure-themed script?"

"Hmm? Allen, you know that too?" George Lucas asked in surprise.

He had just completed the registration of this script, but he didn't expect Lei Yunrong to know so soon.

"That's of course. I acquired Lianyi Film Company, of course I have to consider the company. Cooperating with you big directors is undoubtedly the best choice. Of course, I have to focus on you."

"So I not only know that you have completed the script for this expedition, but I also know that Steven is preparing for an alien project, right?"

"That's right, but Allen, I have to work with Global for this project, and I have a contract with them," said Spielberg.

"I know, if Global is not optimistic about your project, you can come to me, I will definitely invest!"

"Allen, you dare to vote before you even saw your script?" Lucas asked.

"Of course! I don't invest in this script, I don't invest in this person, Steven! I believe Steven's project can definitely make money!"

"Okay, since you value it so much, if Global is not optimistic, I will definitely find Lianyi to cooperate with you." Spielberg said with a smile.

"Then it's a matter of determination!" Lei Yunrong turned to George Lucas and said:

"George, I'm very optimistic about your new script, and I wonder if you would like to transfer it to Lianyi Company?"

"No problem. Since you are optimistic about Allen, then take it." George Lucas said generously.

However, although George Lucas said it relaxed on the surface, his heart aches.

He has polished this script for a long time, and he also likes it very much. Lucas is planning to make it himself.

But now Lei Yunrong wants to do so, he can only bear to give up his love. After all, he gave him a lot of face just now.

When Lei Yunrong heard George Lucas agree so readily, he smiled.

George Lucas' new script is called "Raiders of the Lost Ark", which is very well-known in Hollywood film history.

Not only did it have a big box office hit, but it also had a very high reputation. Archaeologist Indiana Jones has also become a very classic screen character.

Lei Yunrong estimated that the reason why George Lucas agreed so readily may not realize the potential of the script after it was released.

In fact, it is understandable that Hollywood has thousands of scripts, and no one knows whether it can be sold well before it is released. So although George Lucas is optimistic about his script, he is not sure that he will succeed.

"Then I'm so grateful to George for giving up your love. Your script has been polished, right?"

"All polishing is done. I originally planned to start this project after "Star Wars 2" is released."

"So are you planning to direct this project yourself or hire another director?"

"I plan to ask Steven to direct this movie!"

Lei Yunrong remembers that the first part of "Raiders of the Lost Ark" will be released next year, and the director is Spielberg.

"Then Steven, can you work with Lianyi first and help me direct this movie?"

Spielberg was a little surprised and didn't know why the topic suddenly moved to him.

He thought that the project he was preparing was not so fast, and he should have enough time to direct a movie.

"No problem, since you trust me so much, I certainly have no choice."

"Okay, then I'll arrange someone to connect with you later and create the shooting budget. By the way, George, who do you plan to invite to play the male lead?"

"The protagonist of Star Wars, Harrison Ford!"

"Okay, then please ask him!"

It can be predicted that Harrison Ford's pay will definitely increase after the release of "Star Wars 2".

But there is gain only when one has given up. At this time, Harrison Ford was indeed very box office appeal, and the Indiana Jones he created in history was very classic.
