The restaurant is not far from the company address, so after Kevin finished speaking, they had already arrived at the entrance of the restaurant before Kevin thought about it.

Kevin got out of the car first and walked out. As soon as Keis opened the car door, he saw Kevin Feige who came over and turned his head to wink him.

Case was a little confused. After getting off the car, he saw a person at the entrance of the restaurant. Then he understood directly that he had met a famous alumni of the University of Southern California here!

"Hello, Mr. Spielberg, Hi Steve."

Spielberg smiled warmly:

"Hello Mr. Dutton."

Jobs also squeezed out a stiff smile and nodded. He was just a person who didn't like to laugh, so he would be stiff no matter how hard he smiled.

Spielberg did not show what Kevin Feige imagined, and he showed dissatisfaction because his goddaughter Gwyneth was kicked out of the "Iron Man" crew by Case. He seemed very enthusiastic.

In fact, Spielberg appeared here today, not because of a coincidence, but because he came here specifically to meet Case.

For this reason, he also brought Jobs, his good friend, Case's "acquaintance".

As for his purpose of coming here, he focused on something in Case's hands, the copyright of the novel "Jurassic Park".

After he saw this novel before it was released in 1990, he was shocked when he saw it. He felt that moving this story to the big screen would definitely be a big hit.

And this story also attracted him quite a bit, making him feel itchy.

But just when he and Universal found the original author Michael Clayton, they learned that all the copyrights of the novel had been sold.

Moreover, Michael Clayton also signed a confidentiality agreement and could not disclose who the purchaser was, which disappointed him very much.

After asking for a long time but not knowing who bought it, he could only sigh in his heart and give up.

Because he was already a world-renowned director at that time, he couldn't find out this and didn't dare to check it anymore.

But he kept thinking about this matter. It was not until Marvel noted the script a while ago that he realized that the copyright was in the hands of Case.

After learning that Case was coming to play in Southern California, he came over and even pulled Jobs.

He is very familiar with Jobs, one is DreamWorks animation, one is Pixar animation, and both of them like to play games. By the way, there is also George Lucas, and all three of them can be called good friends.

When Kyce saw the two, he realized that it was not that simple to meet these two people here, and it was impossible to be such a coincidence.

Although Spielberg now has no Jurassic, he is still a famous film master.

Classic films such as "The Great White Jaws", "Raiders of the Lost Ark", "Alien E.t.", "Schindler's List", "Saving Private Ryan", "Minority Report", "Cat and Mouse Game", "Happy Terminal" and other classic films are still born in his hands.

Needless to say, Jobs was, and these two busy people got together and happened to meet him. How could it be such a coincidence?

But Case was happy to see that he was successful. He really wanted to talk to Spielberg. The director of "Jurassic Park" in his heart was still Spielberg, no doubt about it.

There are really geniuses in this world, and Spielberg is one of them.

Can you imagine that a 71-year-old man made a popular global commercial blockbuster like "Player No. 1"?

He is also a producer of popular movies such as the "Man in Black" series, the "Transformers" series, etc.

He is at his peak when he debuts, and has been at his peak for more than 40 years. He is a perfect box office god!

Although anyone can shoot the videos with great quality when looking at the production materials in Case, the times have changed.

The movie from 1993 is now 2007. Success will definitely be successful. There are no such big hit movies in the world, but how successful it is, it depends on who will be born in the hands of this movie.

With Spielberg as the director, the box office of such a film will increase by at least 200 million, or US dollars.

So the two of them coincided with each other.

However, the two have slightly different purposes. One wants to buy copyright, the other wants to hire him as a director, and even bring him into the company.

———

"Have you two had a meal? Why don't you go together?"

Spielberg glanced at Jobs, and Jobs said directly:

"I'll have a meal with a rich man, I'll eat more today."

"Haha, you called all the employees of Apple and ate together for decades, and you can't eat me poorly."

Jobs was a little embarrassed and pouted. Spielberg was watching happily. There were not many people who could make his old friend feel embarrassed.

Even fewer people will not refute after being defeated.

Several people entered the restaurant and sat down. There was no one except Keith and the others. This posture was obviously about talking about things.

However, when passing by the lobby, Case and the crew all greeted him.

The four of them sat and had almost finished their meals. The few of them were still talking. Jobs became more and more impatient. He was not good at learning Zen!

"Steven, Case likes to be straightforward and straightforward. If you have anything, just say it directly. If you can achieve success, he will not refuse it directly."

The main reason for Jobs' irritability was that he could not put his mouth when he saw something delicious. He was a pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor disease and could not eat greasy, spicy, raw and cold, difficult to digest, and other foods.

Pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are not pancreatic cancer.

Case also cooperated with Jobs and nodded, looking at Spielberg with a sincere look:

"He was right, Steven. If you have anything to say, I will definitely help you."

Spielberg was going to be slowing down for a while, but when he heard this, he spoke directly:

"Kase, I want to buy the copyright of the novel "Jurassic Park" in your hands."

Case knew in his heart that he was indeed for copyright, but it was Jurassic rather than Lord of the Rings. The only two that could make Spielberg target were the novels.

But no matter what it is, Case directly replied to him, and Case said with a sorry look:

"Sorry, Steven, I really can't help you with this. You can negotiate the others, but I can't release the copyright in my hands."

Spielberg felt helpless. Such a rich man who was not short of money was the most difficult to deal with.

Although he has a net worth of billions and ranks second in the director industry, his foundation is in the entertainment industry and has a lot of influence, but he is still a little far from being a top level like Case.

People are richer than you. What can you do when it comes to money-related aspects?

As for the person who ranks first in the director's net worth, of course, it is Spielberg's alumnus, George Lucas of Star Wars.

Spielberg thought about it and said with great pain:

"Kase, I only have the copyright of film and television."

Keyes smiled, and then said something that was not answered:

"Steven, you should be aware of Marvel's history."

Spielberg smiled bitterly in his heart. Of course, he knew Marvel's history. When Case acquired Marvel, he acquired all the copyrights outside. It can be seen how much he attached to copyright.

So when Case talks about this, the meaning he wants to express is already very obvious.

"I can't discuss it anymore?"

Case smiled and shook her head:

"Copyright is impossible to sell, but..."

Spielberg waited for Case's following, and then saw a bright smile on Case's face. Spielberg smiled helplessly:

"But what?"

“But we can cooperate.”

In fact, Spielberg hadn't had much intention of selling copyright from Case from the beginning, but he still had a little expectation in his heart.

So his ultimate goal is actually cooperation, so he is quite interested in cooperation in Case's words.

"How to cooperate? Marvel and DreamWorks?"

Case was a little surprised:

"Dreamworks Animation?"

Spielberg nodded with a smile.

DreamWorks sold to Viacom, Paramount’s headquarters in 2004.

However, before the sale, DreamWorks' animation business was divested and DreamWorks Animation was established, and Spielberg was the major shareholder.

DreamWorks Animation was famous in its previous life!

The Monster Shrek series, Kung Fu Panda series, Madagascar series, Dragon Trainer series, Crazy Primitive Man, Genius Glasses Dog and other famous animations are all produced by this company.

But is a DreamWorks animation company capable of making live-action movies?

The answer is no.

But DreamWorks Animation doesn't have it, Spielberg has it!

Any Hollywood director may not be able to support a crew alone, but Spielberg cannot.

Case put down the knife and fork in his hand, wiped his mouth with a towel, and shook his head with a smile:

"I don't want to work with DreamWorks Animation, I just want to work with you personally."

After DreamWorks was jointly attacked by seven major Hollywood companies, Spielberg became a free agent.

He collaborated with Warner for 2018.
