Silicon Valley

Chapter 291 DreamWorks

.

Most of Henry's companies are listed, should we cash out now? Obviously, the time is not yet there. To describe it with the words in the movie lines, "Let the bullets fly for a while"!

On March 14, the Oscars came out.

This year's Oscars are fiercely competitive and hard to choose.

Both "Schindler's List" and "Forrest Gump" are classics, and if they are placed in a separate session, they will be the best films. But it happens to be piled up together... It's really nerve-racking!

Well, according to Oscar's urine, let's divide the cake.

"Schindler's List" is too shocking to say that it won't win the Oscar for Best Picture.

In the end, the cake was divided and it became like this.

"Schindler's List" won the following awards: Academy Award - Best Picture, Academy Award - Best Director, Academy Award - Best Score, Academy Award - Best Cinematography.

"Forrest Gump" won the following awards: Academy Award - Best Actor, Academy Award - Best Adapted Screenplay, Academy Award - Best Film Editing.

"Independence Day" won the following awards: Oscar - Best Visual Effects.

Toy Story received the following awards: Special Achievement Award, John Lasseter.

The representatives of Galaxy Films kept going up to accept the award, and they were embarrassed. After that, there is a reception. Henry approached Spielberg and asked him, "Are you interested in directing the second Jurassic Park movie?"

Henry Williams asked him how he was so embarrassed to shirk. Not to mention that Henry Williams is a legend in the world of wealth, just to say that he invested in Spielberg to shoot "Schindler's List", Spielberg will give him some face.

Spielberg nodded and said, "Okay, no problem!"

"I knew you would agree," Henry said with a smile. "After filming this, you must be bored too. I'll find someone else to film in the future!"

Spielberg smiled at Henry and said nothing.

Henry asked, "I heard that you plan to start your own business and create a company?"

Spielberg was shocked when he heard this, and he stared at Henry with wide eyes, like how do you know!

Henry shrugged and said with a smile: "It's normal! Your contract with Universal is about to arrive, but I heard that you refused to renew your contract with Universal. In addition, I have not received any news that you signed with other companies, Then, obviously, you're planning to set up your own company!"

Spielberg saw that Henry's analysis was eloquent, and then nodded and admitted: "Yes, I am going to set up a film company with Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen!"

"Have you decided on the name of the company?" Henry asked.

"Not yet..." Spielberg shook his head.

"How about DreamWorks?" Henry smiled at him and suggested.

Spielberg thought for a moment, then praised, "Oh, what a great name!"

Henry smiled slightly, then took a sip of red wine, his eyes flashed, thinking, how to win DreamWorks into Galaxy Films?

Henry thought about it for a while, and then told him directly.

"Director Spielberg, you know that Galaxy Films owns independent studios like Pixar, you might as well join Galaxy Films and set up DreamWorks Studio, so that, relying on Galaxy Films, DreamWorks' development It will be much smoother!"

Spielberg's face showed serious thought, he was silent for a while, and then told Henry: "I can't reply to you for the time being, I have to discuss it with the other two people!"

Henry opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Hehe, of course, you can tell me at any time when you think about it!"

After the reception, Henry and Bobby Robin returned to Galaxy Films. Henry then told Bobby Robin the conversation he had had with Spielberg at the reception.

Bobby Robin nodded in agreement.

Immediately, Henry asked, "What else does Galaxy Film Company have this year besides filming "Titanic" and "Jurassic Park 2"?"

"Pixar is already working on A Bug's Life and Toy Story 2, plus, Mission: Impossible 2!"

"Titanic" will definitely not be finished in one year, and as for Pixar, it will be even slower, and it will definitely not be released this year. Perhaps only "Jurassic Park 2" and "Mission Impossible 2" can be released this year. Henry shook his head unconsciously. As a Hollywood movie giant, there are too few movies!

"Have someone adapted and filmed Resident Evil!" Henry said.

The special effects are not good enough now, otherwise, Galaxy Films would be able to shoot more things, "Harry Potter", "The Lord of the Rings", "Pirates of the Caribbean" and so on.

"OK!"

Bobby Robin nodded, and he also realized that this year, the films that Galaxy Films invested in and filmed were less released, "Chairman, I will find a good script and invest in more films!"

"This is not in a hurry. If the script is not good, don't shoot!" Henry said lightly, "Your main task this year is to take down Spielberg's upcoming company, DreamWorks. In addition, you have to go to New Zealand to buy a movie. Special effects company - Weta Workshop!!!"

"Weta Workshop?" Bobby Robin muttered to himself, with a puzzled look on his face, as if he could not remember the existence of this company!

"Yes, Weta Workshop!!!" Henry nodded solemnly, and then introduced to Bobby Robin, "Weta Workshop was established in 1993 and is headquartered in Wellington, the capital of New Zealand. Jackson co-created with his friends Richard Taylor and Jimmy Selkirk! The company's special effects are unique, especially the 'performance capture technology', which is excellent!"

"Okay, Chairman, I will arrange for someone to buy this company in the past!"

"Um!"

Hearing the words, Henry nodded, the galaxy special effects plus Weta Studios were even more powerful than ILM. However, Industrial Light and Magic, Henry will buy it sooner or later. George Lucas sold the company to Disney that year, and naturally he can also sell it to himself. The world's top three special effects companies are all combined together, I can't imagine it! ! !

Marvel will go bankrupt in more than a year, and I will take it down by myself! Then Time Warner was acquired, and DC Comics came over. Hehe, it's fun that the two comics become one family!

Henry was out of the Galaxy Film Company, and he couldn't help feeling a little excited.

A week later, Spielberg called and informed Henry that Jeffrey Katzenberg was very happy, but David Geffen didn't agree with DreamWorks joining the Galaxy movie!

Henry asked, "What about you? Spielberg, do you agree to join Galaxy Films?"

Spielberg was silent for a while. The reason why he started his own business was because he was not free to make movies and could not make the movies he wanted to make. "Schindler's List" is a fuse. Spielberg has repeatedly proposed to Universal that he wants to make this film, but Universal just refused to invest in him. In the end, Henry agreed to invest in him, or else , the film has to be delayed again.

Henry knew Spielberg and why he hesitated.

"Director Spielberg, you should know that I'm not short of money. Therefore, I will not limit what kind of movies you make. You can make any movies you want!" That being said, Spielberg doesn't either. Maybe actually going to make a movie that sucks to the core, it's also a disservice to his own reputation.

When Spielberg heard this, he replied, "Well, I also agree to join Galaxy Films!"

Henry suddenly laughed and said: "Isn't that good, since David Geffen doesn't agree to join the Galaxy Movie, then tell him to get out! You and Jeffrey Katzenberg can join!"

Jeffrey Katzenberg served as the chairman of the film department at Disney. He is definitely a talent and has helped Disney produce many high-grossing cartoons! Plus, he made the animated movie Shrek! Henry took a fancy to DreamWorks, and the most important thing was its DreamWorks Animation Studio! And Jeffrey Katzenberg is at the heart of the animation studio!

As for David Geffen, he is a rich man, and he is gay. He is the owner of a music company who likes to play music. His contribution to DreamWorks is the smallest.

Henry told David Geffen to get out, and Spielberg couldn't help showing embarrassment on the ground.

"Spielberg, don't you think Galaxy is more suitable for DreamWorks than him?" Henry asked rhetorically. In fact, he didn't really want to have gay colleagues, which was the main reason. Although he does not discriminate against homosexuality, he cannot accept it!

"Mr. Williams, it seems impersonal to drive David Geffen away like this. You can see it like this. I will persuade him to join the Galaxy Films. If he insists that he will not join, then I will go with Jeffrey Carr. Senberg joins the two of them together!"

"Okay, then give him a chance. Whether he joins or not is up to him!" Henry nodded helplessly and said, Spielberg is still a sympathetic person after all, so he will definitely drive David Geffen away. Go, obviously not in line with his character!
