Coquettish Rebirth

"On behalf of the Ministry of Radio and Television of China and the municipal government of the Shanghai Municipal Committee, I warmly welcome the internationally renowned film artist and director Steven Spielberg to China..." Sun Ping, the director of the Ministry of Radio, Film and Television, was very proud and blushed. In the conference hall of the Xijiao Hotel, he made a meeting speech that made everyone suffer very much according to the speech script written by someone who didn't know who wrote it for him.

The last time Jia Hongjian asked Yang Guang to drag Sun Ping and rejected Disney's qualification for a joint venture film.However, when DreamWorks, Pixar and many people in the Chinese film industry attended this meeting, DreamWorks and Jia Hongjian's enemy, Eisner, was also in the meeting.

"Block this "Toy Story"! Give up the plan to release it in any market!" Eisner roared frantically. "But, boss, we invested nearly 3000 million U.S. dollars in this film...it took 4 years..." a subordinate mentioned cautiously. "Don't you have ears? I just said ban! Ban, do you understand?" Eisner stared at the subordinate who spoke with wide eyes at this time, and directly looked at the subordinate!

But this subordinate is quite kind, and he can continue to speak tremblingly, "But boss, in our contract, we have agreed with them that they will only make 10 animations for us in 3 years. If we don't release them now, we will violate the contract." "What breach of contract? What is the use of our company's legal department? Isn't it just to let them go to court? How do you grow your brain? If we spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to support those people, we don't need it at all. Seeing them, isn’t our company losing money? Didn’t you graduate from some university? Didn’t you buy a diploma from Pheasant University? Waste!” Eisner said more and more.He was almost scolded as he talked!

Okay!This Eisner really can be regarded as a villain, unexpectedly so violent.Just because Jia Hongjian got into an argument with him, he actually planned to block Pixar's "Toy Story" directly!In this way, the 4 years of effort Pixar put into it, and the investment of millions of dollars is almost in vain!Originally, Pixar was a small company with a scale of 4000 to 600 million US dollars, while Disney was a large company with a scale of several billion US dollars!If there is a conflict between these two companies with completely different sizes.To file a lawsuit, at least in the United States, Disney can spend [-] million US dollars to hire the best lawyers in the United States to form a team, and then consult with other lawyers in the United States.In this way, according to the principle of avoiding interests, no lawyer in the United States can represent Pixar!This is just a civil contract, and Disney will delay it casually.Delaying for three to five years or even ten or eight years is just like playing, and it can drag Pixar to death!

Eisner's idea was to block Pixar like this!But what he never expected was that Jia Hongjian's original idea was to break up if he couldn't do it!Because if Pixar's "Toy Story" is released and takes a box office of 10 million, then Disney must feel that it has made a profit, and then it will re-sign with Pixar.Just like Jia Hongjian’s request before, basically Disney and Pixar will share half of the investment and half of the interest, and then Disney will take 15%-60% of the distribution fee!In the end, Disney can get about 65-[-]% of the final profit.This is quite unfair to Pixar!

So why did Jia Hongjian propose to re-sign the contract and blame Eisner?Isn't that the reason for the collapse of the talk in the future, so that others will feel that it is Eisner's fault?This means that he has long wanted to break up with Disney!It would be best to be banned now!Get banned, go to court!If he didn't call, then Jia Hongjian would simply cancel Pixar, and let the employees go to Pixar to apply for jobs in their personal capacity.In this way, Disney will even want to sue in the future.Then there is no "entity" of the other company to sue!

Even if the company is not deregistered, and Disney pulls Pixar into a lawsuit, Jia Hongjian is afraid of this?Hit it!Disney can find bad things, but Jia Hongjian can't?The other party can pay 600 million to find a team of lawyers, but Jia Hongjian can't?Besides, Jia Hongjian had read the contract himself.It only stipulated that Pixar should contract Disney to make three 90D animation films, but did not stipulate that Pixar could not make 91D animation by itself within the contract period!So even if Disney wants to sue, there is no way to find a court to issue an injunction—there is no way for Pixar to suspend sales and release animated films that may cause disputes.So, what are the constraints on Pixar?Even if you really lose in the end, at most, you can delay for a few years and then pay the other party compensation!But is the price of US dollars in the mid-[-]s the same as a few years later?The U.S. dollar has been depreciating all the way since [-]!The later it is the cheaper it is!This is also the reason why Jia Hongjian didn't do anything about it after he clearly fell out with Disney!

Here, after an hour of Sun Zheng's speech, everyone soon relaxed.After another relatively boring tea party, everyone got together to have a good meal, and then these official matters were settled.Two days later, Jia Hongjian and Spielberg ushered in the shooting of CCTV's first talk show in the Shanghai TV studio.Originally, logically speaking, the two should have gone to the studio in the capital to shoot, but the two had a lot of cards, and this idea was brought up by Jia Hongjian, and Yang Guang gave permission to record in Shanghai.

In the studio, Jia Hongjian's parents and others were waiting curiously beside the camera. They never knew that Jia Hongjian still had interviewing skills!Many people were curious about the filming process, even Jiang Wen was waiting to watch this time!Jia Hongjian was wearing a suit and standing on a chair, waiting for the Shanghai staff to install a miniature microphone on him, while Spielberg was letting the staff fiddle with it.After it was done, the two sat on the chairs.

Jia Hongjian first adjusted his sitting posture, and after looking at the question outline in his hand, he motioned to the cameraman to turn on the two cameras facing the two people respectively. "It's not video recording now, let's have a chat first, we can get into the mood." Jia Hongjian first said with a smile, "By the way, I think Jiang Wen is very interesting. When he makes movies, he basically shoots them in the past." Things, it seems that I never like to shoot the current ones, and it seems that they are some kind of influence from his previous life, and then he cast them into the movie, is it strange?"

At this time, Jia Gang, Su Ping, Jiang Wen and others who were watching were a little stunned. They thought that the interview was done by two people and started talking directly, but they didn't expect Jia Hongjian to start talking nonsense like this at the beginning. Is this really okay?But Jia Hongjian didn’t seem to be having a good chat. He always asked Chinese first, and then translated into English by himself. What was he doing?

What they don't know is that Jia Hongjian's most important thing in doing talk shows is to let the interviewee relax.Only when the interviewee relaxes, can the conversation be happy and enter the state, and say something that has never been said on other programs, so that the whole program will have a bright spot!Even if it's not for the bright spot, chatting first can also make the other party relax, so as to get a better program effect, and won't make the other party look too stiff!In fact, most of the talk shows in the 21st century do this. Unless it is a live talk show, interviews with artists and the like usually involve chatting for more than an hour, and then slowly edit them into four. 10 minutes like this!

"Not surprising!" Spielberg replied with a smile at this time, "Actually, I am also like this, and I am a little more extreme. I feel that I am still influenced by my childhood. When I was a child, our home was the neighborhood I was the only Jewish family in my family, so our family was very excluded, and I was often bullied by older children in the community, so my childhood was actually not happy. But it is this unhappy experience that shaped my xing today G. The reason why I like the one that looks a little scary is because I was frightened when I was often bullied by older children when I was a child. Later, I gradually liked the fright and started making pranks at home to scare the family. When I grew up, Shooting films like "Jaws" is actually an evolution of hiding in the closet and pretending to be a ghost to scare the family-that is, I no longer scare the family, but start to scare the audience!"

Having said this, Spielberg even took the initiative to continue to say: "Similarly, even in the film "et", it is also a manifestation of my habit of liking horror and frightening. When others feel that aliens When they are all bad guys, I just want to shoot an alien who is a good guy. Why is that? It’s because I like scary things, and I like things that scare others. But that kind of scary, in I think it is very cute. In fact, I think directors and writers are the same. Many times, the creation is a process of digging out one's own previous experience, especially childhood experience. It can dig out that subtle feeling and then express it. That's good..."

In this way, Jia Hongjian dug up many previously unknown things through chatting with Spielberg little by little.For example, he was bullied when he was a child, and sometimes he was so angry that he ran out in the middle of the night and used his own sesame paste to paste the windows of those children who bullied him!And after his mother found out about what he did, his mother even praised him for his good work!Also, his parents divorced, and he hated his father very much. It was not until more than ten years later that he forgave his father under the persuasion of his wife, and now the relationship with his father is very, very good...
