Doug Liman saw Yu Dong walking towards them from a distance. He thought Yu Dong was looking for Spielberg. Unexpectedly, Yu Dong arrived, nodded to Spielberg, and started talking to him.
Speak: "Mr. Liman, how does it feel to come to China for the first time?"
Doug Liman said truthfully: "It's a pity that I was in the car all the way and didn't have many opportunities to observe it up close."
Yu Dong smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. After the annual meeting, I'll have someone accompany you around the country. I heard from Jimmy that the preparations for "This Man Came From Earth" and "The Butterfly Effect" have already begun?"
"That's right." Doug Liman nodded, "It will officially start soon."
Spielberg smiled on the side and said: "Perhaps, YU, if you have time, you can go and see the scene. I think Doug definitely needs your opinion very much."
"Yes, if possible, I certainly hope that YU can go to the scene." Doug Liman said hurriedly.
"I'll take a look at the situation after your shooting time is set." Yu Dong said, looking at Spielberg again, "If you were so concerned, when Jimmy invited you to be the producer, you wouldn't have
It should be refused.”
Spielberg said helplessly: "Of course I don't want to refuse, but I have been too busy in the past two years and have no energy to take care of new plans. If I agree casually, I may not be helping, but harming others."
Yu Dong knew that Spielberg was telling the truth. He had indeed been very busy in the past two years.
"Jurassic Park 2: The Lost World" will be released in May this year, followed by "Men in Black" in July.
In addition, he has also taken on roles in "Unchained", "The Mask of Zorro" and "Saving Private Ryan".
In addition, "The Martian" has not been launched yet, but it has only happened in the past two years. When "The Martian" is launched, Spielberg will be even busier.
Yu Dong looked at Doug Liman again. This future great director had thick black curly hair. It seemed that Doug Liman rarely took care of it and allowed it to grow uncontrollably.
He is tall and strong, and he looks more like a basketball player than a director.
"Mr. Li Man, even if I can't go to the scene, if you need help with anything during the shooting, you can contact me at any time. I will definitely help with anything within my ability. Your "Swing Man", I
I have also seen that your shooting skills are very mature and you are very thoughtful. So I believe that the two movies that are about to be shot will not be a problem for you." Yu Dong said with a smile.
"Thank you for your recognition." Doug Liman said happily.
Then he suddenly said: "Mr. YU, after the filming of "The Man Came from Earth" and "The Butterfly Effect" are completed, can you consider letting me shoot "Golden Dreams"?"
Spielberg knew what Doug Liman was going to say when he was halfway through, but it was too late to stop him. He could only look at Doug Liman angrily. He had clearly told Doug Liman on the plane
·Li Man didn’t want to mention this matter yet, but he didn’t expect this guy to mention it anyway.
But since he mentioned it, he couldn't take it back. Spielberg looked at Yu Dong again, wanting to see his reaction.
Yu Dong just smiled and said, "There is an old saying in China, haste makes waste. I think you'd better focus more on the two movies in front of you."
Doug Liman understood what Yu Dong meant and didn't have anything to say. In fact, it wasn't that he didn't take Spielberg's words to heart, but he really wanted to make "Golden Dreams" so much that he couldn't bear it.
I asked for the exit.
In fact, this matter was still down to Jimmy Lai. In order to save money and trouble, he packaged the two movies to Doug Liman, which gave him more ideas.
What Yu Dong had previously thought was to let Doug Liman finish filming "The Man from Earth" first, and then completely hand over "The Butterfly Effect" to him.
If things go according to Yu Dong's plan, Doug Liman would not be thinking about anything else right now. He must be thinking about filming "The Man from Earth" first.
As for the script of "Golden Dreamland", Yu Dong actually wanted to give it to Zhang Yimou to try out the water in Hollywood. Then he would polish the script and give Zhang Yimou a better team. Even if the movie cannot be a big hit, it can still be successful.
Improve Zhang Yimou's directing skills.
Although Yu Dong is very optimistic about Doug Liman, Doug Liman is still an American after all, and what Yu Dong hopes is to bring more Chinese directors to the world platform.
As for Doug Liman, there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future, such as "The Bourne Identity" and "Mr. and Mrs. Smith". He originally made these movies, so he is also good at them.
"Mr. Li Man, I heard from Jimmy that you like military and crime themes very much?" Yu Dong asked.
Seeing Yu Dongcha's change of topic, Doug Liman nodded in agreement: "Yes, I do like these two themes. Of course, I also like science fiction themes very much. I have always wanted to make movies with these themes.
, of course, it would be better if these themes could be integrated together.”
"Actually, I think you are also very talented in romantic comedies. "Swinger" is proof of that."
Yu Dong was praising Doug Liman, but he was frustrated because he had just been declined by Yu Dong, so what Yu Dong said now sounded like he was explaining why he declined.
Could it be that in YU’s opinion, I’m more suitable for a romantic comedy?
Before he could speak and ask, a staff member came to Yu Dong, and Yu Dong could only say goodbye to them with an apologetic face.
After Yu Dong left, Spielberg looked at Doug Liman with a smile, "Are you disappointed because you were rejected?"
Spielberg had noticed Doug Liman's emotional changes just now, but when Dong was around, he had nothing to say.
Doug Liman smiled and shook his head: "Nothing, I should be able to think of such a result. It's just that I feel that YU seems to think that I am more suitable for romantic comedies."
Spielberg patted Doug Liman on the shoulder: "Perhaps you are overthinking it. If he really thought you were more suitable for making romantic comedies, why would he give you "The Butterfly Effect"? "The Butterfly Effect"
"It's not a romantic comedy."
"Maybe it's because of Jimmy?" Doug Liman guessed.
Spielberg smiled and shook his head, "Do you think Jimmy can influence YU's thoughts? Do you think YU and Deep Space Company are just a cooperative relationship, and he is just an author?"
