639 [Ten Billions]
"Stephen, how was the filming of "Back to the Future"?" Ye Jin asked Spielberg with a smile again.
During the Christmas period last year, "The Seven Treasures" directed by Stephen Spielberg was released, winning more than 60 million US dollars in North America, while the global box office was as high as 180 million US dollars. Compared with the cost of 20 million US dollars, it can be regarded as a big profit.
After "The Seven Treasures", Spielberg began to produce "Back to the Future". This story is also one of the three scripts that Ye Jin gave to Spielberg.
It tells the story of the young Martin using the time machine developed by his doctorate to return to his parents' youth, not only successfully matching up their marriage, but also changing the fate of his family and doctor.
The "Back to the Future" trilogy is also one of the most outstanding works in Hollywood science fiction history, and it occupies a distinctive link in the popular culture of America.
"The filming has been almost done. I think it should be released successfully during the summer vacation today." Spielberg said with a smile.
"That's good." Ye Jin nodded with a smile.
Spielberg has always been organized in his work. He said that if it can be released in the summer season, Ye Jin believes that it will definitely be released in the summer season.
"Mr. Ye, I have seen the story of "Back to the Future". To be honest, you are such an unparalleled genius." George Lucas looked at Ye Jin with admiration.
As Spielberg's good friend, he naturally read the script of "Back to the Future". He also thought the script was very good.
First, people travel through time and space to return to the past, this setting is very fresh and interesting; second, they match their parents' love affairs and change the fate of their families, which also makes people feel very immersive.
Let me ask, who doesn’t want to have the ability to go back to the past to make up for the mistakes they have made, let their family and friends live a better life.
So George Lucas thought the script was very good. Unfortunately, the director was his friend Spielberg, and he was also busy filming "Star Wars 2".
Otherwise, he would really want to take the script and shoot it as a director. He believes it will definitely be a classic work that is no less than "Star Wars".
"George, you're so polite." Ye Jin said modestly.
"To be honest, Mr. Ye, your story is really good. I would like to ask you, how did you think of this story?" George Lucas asked curiously.
Spielberg also looked at Ye Jin, hoping to ask him for some creative knowledge.
"Actually, it's not difficult to think of this story." Ye Jin smiled, "I have always had an idea that people can go back to the past and change some things, what impact will they have on the future. So I created this script."
In fact, stories that travel through time and space are not uncommon. English writer Herbert Wells had already created the classic novel "Time Machine" as early as 1895.
Dong Rui, a writer in the Ming Dynasty, wrote a novel called "Journey to the West", which uses the past to satirize the present and tells the story of Sun Wukong entering the green world and traveling through the past and present on the Wanjing Tower.
There are also short stories that travel through time and space in the American drama "Blurred Time and Space" in the 1950s. In short, stories similar to traveling through time and space are not uncommon.
However, those stories that travel through time and space, whether by drawing on the past to satirize the present, suspense and horror, or alerting the world, are not as entertaining as "Back to the Future".
"Haha, Mr. Ye really has a lot of fantasy ideas," Spielberg smiled. "No wonder you can create so many good scripts."
"Yes." Lucas also said in admiration. Ye Jin's head seemed different from ordinary people. How could ordinary people imagine going back to the past, making up for their own mistakes, and changing their destiny? At most, it was just regret and annoyance.
"You two are so polite." Ye Jin smiled.
...
The day after the New Year party, major newspapers in Asiatica all published news that Lin Qingxia was pregnant and was about to give birth.
The New York Times even reported on the topic of "The 10 billion business empire welcomes the successor."
It sorted out the industries in Ye Jin's hands, cus computer, Fox Group, Gap Fashion, Microsoft Technology, Myth Film, Tongxin Real Estate, Huang Industrial, Changjiang Industrial... and added these industries to the conclusion of [10 billion business empire].
This also shocked readers after seeing it. Due to the poor information, the wealth of most wealthy people is secret, and it is made public by a very small number of people (Forbes did not officially launch the ranking of wealthy people until 1982).
The well-known richest man in Asiatica is the oil tycoon Paul Getty. He was called the richest man in the United States by Destiny magazine in the 1950s and won the title for twenty years. Therefore, he is recognized as the richest man in Asiatica.
When he died in 1976, the entire inheritance he left was only 3.3 billion US dollars. But now Ye Jin's net worth is 10 billion, three times that of Paul Getty, the former richest man in Asiatica. From this we can see that Ye Jin is the real richest man in Asiatica.
"The 28-year-old richest man in Asiatica is really incredible!"
"Oh my God, Ye Jin has so much money! He is really amazing!"
"He actually has so much $10 billion?! Why isn't I the one who married him?"
Readers could not help but talk about this report, and for a moment, Ye Jin's fame became three points higher.
After all, the richest man at the age of 28 is so legendary that it is hard not to worship him.
...
But in fact, this report is very unobjective. It does not calculate Ye Jin's real wealth, but calculates all the companies he invests in as his own industries, which has resulted in Ye Jin's wealth several times.
To be serious, Ye Jin's current net worth is only about 1.5 billion US dollars at most, far less than 10 billion US dollars. However, Ye Jin believes that with the launch of cus computers and the bottom-line buying of the Xiangjiang economy when the Hong Kong economy collapses, his net worth will soon exceed the 10 billion US dollars mark.
...
The day after the party, Ye Jin took the time to go back to the company and met Stallone and Jane Fangda.
Stallone took out the script of "Rocky 3" to Ye Jin. This script tells the story of Rocky having become a well-known boxer in the American boxing world after defeating boxing champion Apollo again in the second part, and having wealth and fame.
At this time, he also became the target of others' challenge. A street boxer named Ullis wanted to defeat Rocky in order to become famous. But he did not rely on real materials, but on conspiracy and tricks to defeat Rocky.
Rocky then cheered up with the encouragement of his family and friends, practiced diligently, and finally defeated Ulis with his own fist and regained his position as boxing champion.
After reading this script, Ye Jin nodded with satisfaction. Although it was also an inspirational story, the old bottled new wine in "Rocky 3" still made a story different from the previous two, which was very good.
Moreover, Ye Jin also noticed that Stallone specifically stated in the script that Ye Jin was the co-creator of this script.
