The Goddess Shines on America

Chapter 168 The Alien Is Mine

James Cameron's name, of course, is well known to Alice. Even in 1986, he has already made a lot of achievements. Seeing that she called the man with her voice, she didn't hold back at all. She took three steps and took the initiative to reach out her hand: "Nice to meet you, Cameron, I'm Alice."

At that time, Cameron was only in his early thirties. He shook hands with Alice unexpectedly, and said to Spielberg, "Who is this?"

"Alice, James, the young director of "Ghost Story", you will not forget how you praised this movie at that time, right?"

Hearing the latter's explanation, Alice said in surprise: "It seems that you have studied my movies very well?"

Cameron also understood who he was facing. This was not the kind of family members who simply came to make soy sauce like Fleur Swan and Sissy Lawrence: "No way, Steve, Alice? "Ghost Alice from "Shadow Memo"? Oh damn, you're not impersonating!?"

Alice picked up the corner of her mouth: "It seems that the director of "Terminator" is a straightforward person, yes, it suits my appetite."

When the girl said this, Swann and Spielberg were immediately amused, and Fleur watched quietly from the side, which meant that Sissy was still fighting for the food calmly.

"The tone is not small, girl."

Cameron raised his eyebrows in surprise: "I have heard that you attended a Tonight Show, which made audiences across the country get to know you well. I heard that you have recently developed in the direction of literary films? The "Invasion of Brain Cells" me Saw it too, it was pretty good."

"David Fincher is directing, I'm just directing."

Alice is still holding Cameron's hand, and she can feel that the strength used by the other party is definitely beyond the standard, just like herself... Although she was the first to exceed the standard: "But it seems that you are going to use it in horror, action , the genre of science fiction is gone for good.”

"When directing the debut film "Piranha II: Breeding", he did not forget to pry open the studio door of the cooperating Italian film studio; "Terminator" became famous in one fell swoop, and earned 70-80 million at a cost of 7-8 million box office; you who wrote the script for "First Blood II" last year, what are your plans for this year?"

Listening to the girl's succinct summary, Cameron raised his head triumphantly, and the two of them were still holding hands: "It seems that there is a female fan who admires me very much in front of me. You know everything about the door, did you bribe the KGB to investigate me?"

"Where is there, compared to a white-haired man who secretly studied my work and praised it, but now he doesn't admit it at all like a normal person, even if I bribe the KGB, I will definitely crush your existence~ "

Listening to Alice's long-winded speech in seconds, and Cameron's arrogant face, and now the veins on his forehead are protruding, the onlookers are a little speechless.

Fleur blinked: "You guys know each other too?"

Looking at it from the side, she felt a little dazed.

Think about it, her father introduced a director to her, and Alice knew him; then that director introduced someone to Alice, and they chatted like bad friends who haven't seen each other for a long time. The world is so big, but this is too much of a coincidence, right?

However, the two said in unison: "Of course I don't know each other anymore, oh no, of course I know each other, but only through the works!"

After speaking, the two looked at each other together.

It's the exact same words and sentences...

There seems to be a feeling of sympathy emerging...

In the end, Cameron spoke first: "Well, I have to admit that the idea of ​​your movie is really ingenious, and the literary and artistic connotation of this "Invasion of Brain Cells" is even more outstanding. Tell me, in your room There are some books... Don't rush to deny it, you said it on the Tonight Show!"

Well, someone has admitted that he is silently following someone.

"Well, they seem to have a good relationship?"

At this moment, Hannah was also attracted by the delicious food, standing beside Sissy with a piece of cake in her mouth, curiously looking at her sister who was chatting with the adults.

"Well...don't care about her, anyway, there will definitely be a new movie coming out soon."

Sissy's mouth was full of food, and she came here just for the buffet: "Will you bet?"

Hannah didn't speak, but leaned over directly.

Sure enough, the first sentence she heard was: "James, tell me, do you have any plans now?"

Cameron touched his chin, as if this was a problem that gave him a bit of a headache: "A little bit, but I haven't fully figured it out yet. Maybe it's a sci-fi thriller?"

This kind of mysterious and unreliable answer made Alice have to think about it.

Undoubtedly, all she needs to consider is the timeline.

"Mr. Swan, may I ask, what movie is Twentieth Century Fox preparing recently?"

Swan said with a smile: "It's not presumptuous. According to the company, this year's plan is to release Nick Castle's "Boy on the Roof", Russell Mulcahy's "Challenger" and... ...that's all."

Is there no department?

In this way, Alice pondered for a while and said: "Mr. Swan, where are the Fox people? I have a business to discuss with them."

Of course, Swann was happy to make it convenient: "Did you see the fountain in the northeast corner? The one in the white suit is the Fox shareholder Lex. If you have anything to do, you can talk to him directly. The current chairman doesn't have as many shares as him."

In this way, after Alice thanked Swan, she went there directly.

In fact, she has already attracted the attention of the audience.

As the host of the party and the chairman of Universal Pictures, Swan's every move was watched. When he stood with the famous director Spielberg and stayed with a girl who was about fourteen years old, someone naturally received enough attention and ceremony to take a shower.

At this moment, people saw Alice walking in the direction of Forks again, which naturally caused a small group of whispered introductory remarks.

"Hello, is this Mr. Lex?"

During this gap, Alice had already walked in front of the group of people, and the leader of the bald man felt a little fat: "That's right, you are?"

"Alice Wang, DreamWorks shareholder, director and screenwriter."

With a simple one-sentence introduction, Alice said: "Mr. Lex, I want to do a business with you."

The volume of these words was not low. Although the elegant light music continued, within a radius of seven or eight yards around Lex, most of the guests stopped talking and looked here intentionally or unintentionally.

Facing the uninvited guest, Lex was stunned for a moment, but immediately reflected: "It turned out to be the recently famous Alice. I thought who that guy Swan was chatting with. Let me guess." ...Do you want to cooperate with our company?"

This is not a trivial matter, as a high-level figure in Hollywood, Lex and his colleagues all know who Alice is, of course, as far as the entertainment industry is concerned.

A self-directed and self-directed film, as if a joke, has achieved tens of thousands of returns; two novels were written at a young age, neither of which were children's themes, and both were on the "New York Times" bestseller list. Although the recently released "Invasion of Brain Cells" is a niche literary film, its box office is not low, and most of the film critics have given it quite good reviews.

Such a magical girl suddenly came to the door and said that she wanted to discuss a business, how could it not make people ecstatic! ?

"I want to buy all the rights to Alien."

In a word, Alice said.

Then just such a sentence, several Fox executives in the audience were all stunned.

Around the banquet hall, all the guests who heard it stopped talking long ago, and looked around with great interest.

"Alien, alien copyright? All of them!?"

Lex asked in amazement, "Do you know what you're talking about?"

"Adaptation rights, sequel rights, peripheral product development and operation rights, and a series of rights. Anyway, this is an old movie from 1979, so you can't hold it in your hands?"

Alice was betting that the upper echelons of Fox didn't care about the potential of "Alien". After all, according to normal history, "Alien 2" should be released in July this year, but looking at it now, not only Cameron is idle, but Fox has no plans to shoot at all!

In this way, don't you give her a chance?

Events in history can often be glimpsed, the so-called butterfly effect is just like this. Since "Alien 2" will not be released as scheduled, it is unlikely that it will be released in a few years. People in the normal historical torrent do not have the Rebirth Party and the time-travelers as their staff. Since Fox executives do not value the potential of the Alien series now, and do not even plan to shoot a second sequel, then there will definitely be no future!

On a deeper level, they just didn't appreciate the movie's potential!

So, it turns out, Alice read it right.

Mr. Lex said strangely: "Since you know it's an old movie from several years ago, why buy it?"

Another executive also laughed and said, "Yeah, even if you want to make a sequel, that is, let the alien scare people in a spaceship? The audience won't buy it."

Alice smiled slightly: "After all, it seems that you agree?"

Relying on her unique perspective, Alice pointed out the main point in one sentence, so on this basis, even if Lex and the others would say other messy things, the time wasted is worth it.

"Then Uncle Roger, the work here will be handed over to you."

So, after Alice threw the job to Lawrence who came after hearing the news, she said this lightly and walked straight to the other direction of the restaurant.

There, Sissy, Hannah, the Swans, Spielberg and most importantly Cameron are still waiting for her.

By the way, what about Oscar?

Hey, what the hell.
