The sun is gradually getting hot. In fact, Wayne doesn't think it's a pleasure to play golf in Los Angeles, but most elites and upper class people like it.

The two of them have the same outfits as T-shirts, golf shoes, golf caps, golf gloves, George Lucas and Wayne, except for the color of the T-shirts.

"call"

With a sudden stroke, George Lucas took a look at the pergola and handed the club in his hand to the caddies beside him. He didn't get on the electric car, and the two walked forward along the wide grass.

There were only two people left around, even the caddie and Nina were more than 20 meters away. The father of Star Wars stepped on the grass under his feet. "Do you know why everyone loves to come to the golf course to talk about things? Wayne."

"Because it's big?" Since asking about his parents' past, George Lucas got up and took him to play the ball. Wayne still has patience, so he simply didn't do anything and just played with the bearded old man.

Pointing to the empty venue, George Lucas pointed and shook his head. "That's right, it's because it's big. More importantly, it's because it's basically impossible to be heard by others in this environment, and everyone's situation is clear at a glance."

After saying that, he didn't need Wayne to answer, and continued to walk slowly forward as if he was talking to himself.

Hey, when he heard this reason, Wayne almost laughed out loud. This is the same as the so-called big brothers in the society in his previous life who had to go to the bathhouse when talking about things. Everyone met honestly, and the two of them sat in the pool and chatted without fear of others hearing them.

So, some truths are inexplicably connected across the huge Pacific Ocean.

"It was probably the 1960s." Suddenly, George Lucas's voice slowly rang, and he was like recalling it while slowly narrating it. "Ruben Greenberg and a few friends worked together to build a film company that was as small as a few people. I can't even remember the name now, but it doesn't matter."

Here comes! Wayne has been waiting patiently. He knew that this old acquaintance of the father of Star Wars was known as his father, so he must have a rough understanding of the past during that period.

Walking to a small sand pit, he suddenly squatted down and grabbed a handful of sand, and watched the sand flow down in his hands. "For about five or six years, some young people quit, and some persisted. They started to make the company better and better by making, trading, and distributing small-cost campus horror movies."

Speaking of this, George Lucas opened his hand and let all the sand flow out, turning to look at Wayne and shook his head. "You are very similar to your father when he was young. I meant private life, but you don't have the asshole character as he is!"

Wayne shrugged about his private life and did not interrupt the other party's narrative. He knew the point would come soon.

"The only two of those young people left in the end. They were both full of energy and gave a new name after reintegrating the company." He reached out and patted Wayne on the shoulder, and George Lucas said a name that surprised him extremely.

“New Line Ema!”

“What the f**k!!!”

A swear word suddenly burst out from his mouth, but Wayne immediately reacted and said apologetically: "Sorry, George, you keep going."

The father of Star Wars was not unhappy. He looked at the young man with a change in expression happily. He had known that the child would be very surprised. "It seems that in the early 1970s, Ruben and Shay were not satisfied with releasing local horror films in North America, and began to buy out and release European low-cost movies, mainly facing the target market, which was students in colleges and universities."

If it was in the early 1970s, it was obvious that this strategy was right, and even Wayne felt that they were on the right path. By accumulating the first pot of gold in a small company through the small-cost horror films that young people like, many production companies have proved the correctness of this path.

In that year when Hollywood was still the Eighth or the Seventh, the giants' squeezing the market was not as powerful as it is now, and some small issuing companies could indeed develop slowly.

"I forgot how many years have passed, the two young people's strong personalities began to collide." George Lucas scratched his hair. "The main reason seems to be that Ruben wants to get involved in the production industry, not the small-scale quarrels he used to, but the mainstream films facing the theater market.

Xie Yi did not agree with his opinion. As she was making noise, Xie Yi slowly gained control of the company and began to squeeze your father's voice. When she found that her company had almost no one else…”

This kind of thing is common in North America. The company's founder was kicked out and it happened constantly every day. Didn't the leader of the Qiao Gang come to Hollywood and start playing Pixar with a cart?

"The two partners had a big fight in the end, and one sold all the shares in disheartened manner. The other began to lead the company to start rapid development."

After hearing this, Wayne nodded. This kind of thing cannot be said to be right or wrong. She only said that Shay had the opportunity to prove his thoughts, and Ruben was not as good as the other party in terms of competition methods.

So it should be Shay, who is the new line, accidentally learned about her former partner's child and sent someone to investigate her information. It seems that this matter is just like what parents think, and she thinks too much.

"Thank you, George!" Although he didn't figure out the specific reasons that made his father feel disheartened, it was enough to know that these were enough, and Wayne could analyze the general discovery himself.

Waving to the caddie and assistant who followed far away, the two of them got on the electric car. After playing a hole with George Lucas, they sat back under the parasol in the rest area.

After picking up a bottle of water and drinking two sips, George Lucas asked: "How are you thinking about Star Wars? Are you interested in directing one?"

Wayne has carefully considered this issue during this period, and in his heart he tends not to take this risk. "George, I don't think I am suitable to direct Star Wars. It is George Lucas' Star Wars. If you change to a person, North American audience may not necessarily pay."

Although he was a little embarrassed, when talking about business matters, he decided to refuse directly and politely.

"It's okay, we have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

Although it was a pity, George Lucas did not force too much about this matter. From the social influence that began with "The Joker" to the box office exceeding 300 million US dollars to reach the No. 1 in North America, it can be said that in Hollywood, no one can force this child to do anything.

On the way back, Wayne was silent. His rejection of Star Wars was not a decision made by the head, but a careful consideration.

Even if you don't get involved in this series, George Lucas will soon launch "The Ghost Threat". It is possible that the script has already taken shape. This is a special effect blockbuster, and it is definitely not much to prepare for two years.

Although the story is a bit nonsense, it is destined to disappoint the fanatical Star Wars fans. After watching it, some hardcore movie fans will appear that George Lucas personally ruined the series, and the beautiful fantasy feeling in their hearts.

But no matter how disappointed the fans feel, this is the Star Wars series. This old Jewish man has never been good at telling stories. He said that technology is his outstanding feature.

The next movie "The Threat of Ghost" only talks about the technology and special effects used, which is definitely a hit Hollywood in the 1990s. Although special effects companies have never made money, Industrial Light and Magic has really promoted the development of Hollywood film industry.

This series can only be filmed by George Lucas. Wayne decided to consider the next project carefully. There are factors for new lines. If possible, he is even willing to give up his original plan and make good plans for the new line film industry.

"Nina, help me ask Jimmy to come to the manor in the afternoon, and I said he had something to do." Thinking of this, he gave an order to his assistant, and after that, he got out of the car and took two dogs to the garden.

He has been open to his father's affairs, so he definitely doesn't have to stretch out his hands. However, there is one thing Wayne can do it casually. Shay's new line has always been independently operated, even if it is more than ten years later, it is still producing box office hits.

It will take 10 years to fully reunited with Warner Bros. So it will be the foundation for the rapid development of the new line and the foundation for Shay's expansion of the value. Wayne is familiar with this thing. Who made most of the films produced by the new line obviously have cult attributes?

Jimmy, who rushed over, found Wayne and two dogs under the sunshade in front of the garden. Looking at the leisurely clients lying on the lounge chair, he suddenly felt that some people were really natural capitalists.

"What's wrong?" Without Wayne's greeting, he took a bottle of juice from the ice bucket, inserted it into a straw and sat aside. The agent's suit made him suffer a lot in the outdoors of Los Angeles this season.

Sitting cross-legged, Wayne took off his sunglasses and looked at his dedicated agent. "Help me investigate something. If it goes well, you have to fly to the UK!"

"What's up?"

"You go and investigate Tolkien's descendants first and see if the copyright of "The Lord of the Rings" is still in their hands!" At this moment, Wayne had a clear smile on his face, but this smile made Jimmy feel colder the more he looked at it.

"If nothing unexpected happens, it will definitely be in their hands and the publishing house. My director's pay in Greenberg's studio account has not yet moved. Go and buy the right to adapt the film and television!"

"The film and television adaptation rights of "Lord of the Rings"?" Hearing this, Jimmy naturally began to persuade him. "The Hollywood consensus is that this is the most difficult series to be filmed and television. Everyone knows the temptation of Middle-earth, but no one has tried it. The difficulty is too great. Wayne!"

"No!" The filming difficulty of this video is of course high, so high that it is impossible to make the props and clothing needed without two or three years of preparation. "Did I say I want to shoot it myself? You have $10 million, even if you only get a part of the copyright, you have to buy it for me!"
