Hearing Cheng Yanqiu's complaint, Yu Dong felt a little guilty. Although he considered himself not a workaholic, he had been quite busy since Yu Yi was born.
Usually when the couple is at school, Yu Yi follows his grandparents, and sometimes his grandparents also help take care of him.
According to their plan, they would go back to the park or take Yu Yi to school on the weekends, but Yu Dong always had various things to do on the weekends. He had tried his best to be a hands-off shopkeeper, but he still would
Many things come to him.
"tomorrow……"
Yu Dong originally wanted to play with Yu Yi tomorrow, but thinking about meeting Tom Hanks and the others tomorrow morning and Han Shanping in the afternoon, he could only change his mind and said: "If the weather is good the day after tomorrow, we will take Yu Yi out to do New Year shopping.
Bar."
After Cheng Yanqiu complained, her mood became much calmer. Seeing that Yu Dong wanted to make up for it, she smiled and said softly, "Actually, the time you spend with Yu Yi is not that short. If you have time before the year, you can go in the garden
Just make fun with her, forget about doing New Year shopping, don’t you remember the last time you went shopping?”
Yu Dong nodded, "Yes, remember."
The last time the couple went shopping alone was last year. One day Cheng Yanqiu really wanted to go shopping, so Yu Dong went with her.
In order to prevent others from recognizing them, the couple even disguised themselves, wearing hats, glasses, and scarves. However, they were recognized within a few minutes of entering the mall.
Although everyone was very restrained, they were in a shopping mall after all, and congestion soon occurred. In order to prevent the shopping mall from falling into more serious chaos, Yu Dong could only greet the crowd while calling the security personnel hidden around to escort them out.
The next day, the couple went shopping and it made the news.
Since then, they have never gone shopping again.
However, Yu Dong felt that it wouldn't work to stay like this all the time. He thought about going out more and letting everyone see him more, so that he wouldn't be surprised anymore, just like he was in Jinyi.
"Let's see the day after tomorrow."
Cheng Yanqiu smiled and said, "I think you still don't give up."
"Well, I'm a little determined to give up. I must buy the New Year's goods this year."
…
Early the next morning, Yu Dong went to the office, but Jeff Nathanson went to him earlier.
Seeing Jeff Nathanson, Yu Dong was a little surprised and said: "Jeff, why are you here so early? I remember that you drank a lot yesterday? Didn't you sleep more?"
Jeff Nathanson said with a smile, "After drinking some wine, I went to bed early when I went back. If I go to bed early, I will wake up early."
"I just had a brief chat with Tom Hanks today, because this movie will definitely take a while to be shot."
Jeff Nathanson nodded, "Well, I know it will not happen until at least the filming of "Cat and Mouse" is completed, but I am still very happy to hear that you are inviting Tom Hanks to play the leading role.
, because I also think he is very suitable for this role."
Yu Dong poured tea for Jeff Nathanson and asked with a smile, "How is the writing of the script going?"
Seeing Yu Dong pouring himself tea himself, Jeff Nathanson was flattered. He quickly stretched out his hands to take the tea cup, and then replied with a smile, "The outline has been written out. I made some changes to Nasseri's experience.
The male protagonist is a citizen from the Republic of Slovenia.”
"Then how did he get stuck at the airport?"
"Because there was a coup in the Republic of Slovenia and the original government no longer existed, his identity document lost its validity."
The movie Yu Dong invited Spielberg and Tom Hanks to shoot this time is "The Terminal". The story is actually based on Iranian exiles. When they got off the plane at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France, they did not have refugee documents.
, so the French authorities allowed him to stay at the airport, but did not allow him to leave the terminal building.
It is not appropriate to copy the story of Senari to the screen, and it will definitely require extensive adaptation.
However, Yu Dong was a little worried about changing the protagonist's country to the Republic of Slovenia, "Slovenia will definitely not agree to this, so don't cause any international incidents."
Jason Nathanson had also considered Yu Dong's concerns before, but he couldn't think of placing it in any other country. According to the prototype of the story, it would not be good to set the nationality of the protagonist to Iran.
"Which country do you think is more appropriate?" Jeff Nathanson asked.
Yu Dong thought for a while and said, "Why does it have to be a specific country? You can be bolder, make up a fictional country, and directly dissolve the protagonist's country, so that no one will cause trouble for you."
Jeff Nathanson raised his eyebrows, "This is indeed possible, and the setting is more convincing. I have to remember this, and I will design a country later."
After that, he took out a small notebook and pen from his pocket and started recording.
Before he could finish recording, there was a knock on the office door. They turned around and saw it was Tom Cruise and Spielberg.
As soon as he walked in, Spielberg said with a smile, "You two are here so early."
"I just arrived not long ago, Jeff came earlier."
"On the way just now, I told Tom that we would definitely arrive earlier than you, but I didn't expect that I was wrong."
After entering, Spielberg was not polite at all. He sat down on the sofa and said to Dong, "Please pour me a cup of tea. Oh, it must be melon slices. The taste of white tea is too weak."
Yu Dong shook his head helplessly, "You picked it up, but where is Tom, what do you want to drink?"
Tom Hanks smiled and said: "I can do it."
"Then let's have white tea, otherwise you won't be able to drink it."
While pouring tea, Yu Dong did not delay his business and directly talked about the script with the two of them, "The complete script has not been written yet, but the detailed outline has been released. Today you are here. Let's talk about this script.
Like "Cat and Mouse", it is also adapted from a true story."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Spielberg looked at Jeff Nathanson with interest, "Oh? What's the story this time?"
Jeff Nathanson laughed, "This is a story that happened at the airport. In 1989, an Iranian exile got off the plane at Charles de Gaulle Airport in Paris, France. However, because he did not have any refugee documents, the French authorities allowed him to stay at the airport.
, but he was not allowed to leave the terminal."
Tom Cruise asked curiously, "Can't he return to China?"
"He was expelled from Iran for some reasons in the 1970s. After that, he was not allowed to live in exile between the United Kingdom and France. However, when he went to Charles de Gaulle Airport, his wallet was stolen and he lost the documents that could prove his identity. Although
Later, he got on the plane to London as he wished, but after arriving at the British airport, he was sent back to Charles de Gaulle Airport, and that's what happened next."
"That means he later had to live inside Charles de Gaulle Airport?" Spielberg asked.
Yu Dong came over with two cups of tea and gave each of them one cup, "Well, this is the attractive point of this story, a man who is forced to live in the airport and cannot leave."
Spielberg took the tea cup and nodded, "Well, the most interesting thing about this story is this point. As for how the protagonist fell into this situation, it is not important, and it has no meaning in filming."
Yu Dong nodded secretly. As expected of Spielberg, he immediately grasped the key point.
Perhaps some directors will pay attention to why Nasseri went into exile when they heard this story, but Spielberg knew that these stories would not attract the audience.
However, Spielberg's performance has just begun.
He blew on the tea and asked again: "Is there a love line in this story? How is it arranged?"
Jeff Nathanson nodded: "Yes, the male protagonist was forced to separate from his wife..."
Spielberg listened for a while and shook his head, "This love line is difficult to attract the audience. Why not set the male protagonist to be single and then arrange a beautiful encounter for him? He is trapped at the airport, and in
The most common people seen at the airport should be the airport staff, followed by pilots and stewardesses. Looking at it this way, his encounter with the stewardess may be more beautiful... We have to make the protagonist isolated and helpless. If he can get relatives and friends outside the airport
With help, that will make life in the airport lose its point of conflict..."
Yu Dong blinked his eyes and sighed sincerely. Spielberg was the expert in making movies. This guy just listened to Nasseri's story and sorted out the plot of the movie, and he talked about the key points.
They are all what the audience loves to watch.
After saying what he wanted to say, Spielberg took a sip of hot tea and said with a smile, "This is the right taste. White tea is just too light."
Here Jeff Nathanson was frantically recording what Spielberg said, while Yu Dong smiled and asked, "Now that you know what you are going to make, are you willing to direct this movie?"
Spielberg said very simply, "There is no problem at all. The scenes of this movie are all in the airport, and "Cat and Mouse" also has many scenes related to the airport. The two movies can be seamlessly connected without spending much money."
time."
"The two movies have different eras and backgrounds, so you should pay attention when filming," Yu Dong reminded.
Spielberg smiled and said very confidently, "Don't worry, we have very professional consultants and there will be no loopholes in the times."
Yu Dong curled his lips, Spielberg was good at everything, but sometimes he was not very humble, and he often suffered losses because of his pride.
Now that Spielberg has expressed his willingness to take over the filming of "The Terminal", Yu Dong looked at Tom Hanks again, "Tom, what about you, are you willing to participate in this movie?"
Tom Hanks thought for a moment and nodded simply, "Of course I do."
Before hearing the script, Tom Hanks had already made up his mind to take on this movie because he wanted to star in "The Da Vinci Code". In his opinion, Yu Dong combined these two movies
Putting them together, I also want to package them for him, so they are jointly and severally related.
Now that he heard the general story, he was even more convinced. The story was also very exciting.
Hearing that both of them agreed, Yu Dong said with a smile, "Since you all agree, then after Jeff writes the entire script, I will have someone talk to you about the contract."
"I have no problem, but I would like to recommend an actress." Spielberg said.
"Well, yes, you are the director, so of course you have the right to choose roles. Do you want to recommend the heroine?" Yu Dong asked.
Spielberg nodded, "Well, the heroine, Katherine Jones, the heroine of "The Mask of Zorro."
"The Mask of Zorro" was released a few years ago. It is very famous and has a high box office. Everyone has heard of it.
Yu Dong is not surprised at all, because "The Terminal" also stars Katherine Jones as the heroine in another time and space. It seems that Spielberg has paid attention to Katherine Jones for a long time.
"I have no problem at all. I'll just follow your idea. I'll have someone contact Katherine Jones later to see if she has a schedule."
Spielberg smiled and said, "Just ask Jimmy about this."
Yu Dong raised his eyebrows with a puzzled look on his face. Jeff Nathanson next to him explained to him, "Katherine Jones has signed a management contract with our company. I have met her several times in New York."
"Really?" Yu Dong was a little surprised. He didn't see Katherine Jones at the annual meeting yesterday.
Spielberg smiled and said, "Of course, she signed the contract last year, and I introduced her. She was also invited to this year's annual meeting, but she just gave birth to a baby and it was not convenient for her to travel far away, so she didn't come, but you saw her.
Her husband."
"Who is her husband?"
"Michael Douglas also signed a management contract with you Deep Space."
Yu Dong asked in surprise, "Are they actually a couple?"
The reason why he was surprised was that in his impression, Michael Douglas and Katherine Jones were not of the same generation at all. Katherine Jones felt that she had just debuted, but when he watched "Wall Street" when he was in Dongdong University, the Michael Douglas in it was already
Not young anymore, that was more than ten years ago.
Moreover, Yu Dong also met Michael Douglas yesterday, and his hair was already white, so he really didn't expect that the two of them were husband and wife.
Spielberg laughed and said, "These two really fell in love at first sight, but you should pay more attention to the artists under your company. You don't even know who your own artist is."
Tom Hanks laughed and said, "Large companies are like this, because there are many agents under them, and each agent signs many artists. As a boss, it is difficult to remember these."
Yu Dong glanced at Tom Hanks, and he didn't expect that this guy looked quite stupid, but he was very skilled in flattery.
But what Tom Hanks said is also true. There must be hundreds of brokers in the companies under the Deep Space Group, and the clients signed by these brokers are countless. Some senior brokers,
There may be dozens of artists on hand.
