Author: Fortunately I didn't go

"Ethan, are you just saying true?"

After coming out of Fox and on the way back to the world, Spielberg asked carefully: "Do you really want to make a video game under the name of Star Wars?"

Although Spielberg just performed extremely arrogantly in front of Fox executives, he actually knew that there were many problems with the movie "Star Wars".

For example, the visual effects are not finalized;

For example, the effects of editing and narrative are extremely chaotic;

Without solving these trivial problems, Ethan is willing to play games in the name of Star Wars, which is no different from doing charity.

Because this is equivalent to protecting others with your own reputation. When "The Snake" and "Pac-Man" caused a sensation in North America and even the world, the name Ethan Jones actually represents money.

Before Ethan officially fails, merchants will purchase the game he invents mindlessly, and users will also flock to take out real money and taste his works.

As for the reason?

This is actually a celebrity effect.

"Of course." Ethan smiled and said, "Steven, you don't think I'm joking, right? If that's the case, I'll be very sad."

"No,No,No, I don't mean this..." Spielberg waved his hand quickly.

And his panic also made Ethan put away his fighting spirit-

"Brother, don't be nervous, I'm joking with you. I really want to make a game related to aliens. I already have specific ideas. But after seeing "Star Wars", I put this in again

The overall concept of the game has been fully improved. If George doesn't mind, I will give this game the name "Star Wars", but if he minds..."

"He won't mind!" Spielberg said immediately before Ethan finished speaking.

Ethan was surprised by his decisive words, "Oh Steven, can you help him make a decision?"

"That's right..." Spielberg nodded.

Perhaps it was because of the quarrel just now that he used all his strength.

But it is also possible that Ethan's answer gave him confidence.

After giving a positive answer, he also relaxed on the seat of the car and said, "Ethan, let me tell you this. We have known each other for ten years and have long been able to make some decisions for each other...

…”

Spielberg and Lucas met for six or seven years. At that time, they were still a primary school student in the film industry. Spielberg was rejected by his dream university, and Lucas was in

He had many short films at a young age, and what shocked Spielberg the most was a short film called "Electronic Maze: THX 1138 4EB".

That short film tells:

In the future underground city of dystopia, humans do not have their own name, they only have mechanized code names. A human named THX 1138 4EB did not want to live such a life and decided to escape here. So, they found that he had a jailbreaking government

He was tracked using computers and cameras to try to stop him, but these people eventually failed;

With the successful jailbreak of 4EB, the mechanized government expressed condolences to his partner in order to maintain its rule, claiming that 4EB destroyed itself during the run.

If this kind of story was placed in the 21st century, it would definitely be a fantasy at the public level, because when the Internet age came, the above things might really exist, but in the 1960s, when computers were not yet popular and the Internet was not available at all, George

·Lucas's future concept is an unparalleled genius inspiration that can stun people, and this is why...

"I started to contact him and got to know each other," Spielberg said. "George is the most imaginative person of all the people I have ever met. He brought me the same way we got along.

A lot of inspiration. Most importantly, he taught me how to make a real movie!”

"This sentence may sound strange, but it is actually very simple. Because he and Francis Coppola are friends, so under his leadership, I can enter and exit the crew of "Rain Man" at will and watch "

The filming of the Godfather…”

"Ethan, you haven't made a movie, so you may not know that watching the filming of a movie at the close range on the set is what a novice should do the most. Most of the problems that exist on the set are inconsistent and cannot be said through words

Only by witnessing it with your own eyes can you know how to solve it.”

"Without George's help, I might not have been able to make "Jaws" in my life..."

"So, when he needs me, I will help him unconditionally."

"He needs to succeed now! The movie "Star Wars" must also succeed! He has bet on everything for this movie! It is impossible for him to accept the failure of this movie!"

"so……"

Speaking of this, Spielberg turned his head and looked at Ethan seriously: "If you really want to make a game for Star Wars, I'd be very happy, and at the same time, no matter what George is there

I will convince him to accept it…”

"Now is not the time to be willful."

Ethan nodded slightly when he heard his heartfelt words.

"Thank you for your trust," he said.

This response made Spielberg stunned, and the next second, he burst into laughter-

"Oh Ethan, I should be thankful for you! If you hadn't just said that you had gained inspiration through Star Wars, I would have been so angry today!"

"Those movies that are not a big deal about executives!"

"A bunch of idiots-"

Ethan didn't know whether Fox people knew movies, but he knew that when he followed Spielberg back to the world, the guy immediately contacted Warner's people and helped him inquire about Atari's research and development.

In just two hours, a document signed by current Warner CEO Steve Ross was sent to him.

This document details all the content related to Atari home console-

The CPU of Atari's new machine uses Intel 8080, and the single-chip cost is $22;

Built-in storage is a 128-byte memory stick for Texas Instruments, but to accommodate more games, they also amplified two 1024-byte memory versions, which cost here, at ninety-six dollars;

When the cost of the two main components was as high as $118, in order to ensure profit, the sales price of the machine was set at $199.99.

It seems very expensive, but while the machine has built-in "Bracks" and "Pong", there are also games such as "Racing", "Pinball" that can be played...

This price is actually acceptable.

Yes.

In the files Spielberg got, Atari did not launch a game that borrowed the inspiration of "Pac-Man", and this fact also made Ethan breathe a sigh of relief.

Since Atari has not started to learn from it, it proves that things have not reached the worst.

Of course, he didn't take it lightly.

Because there is no information on Mirohua now.

When the news is temporarily unavailable, Ethan can only judge based on Mirohua's acquisition behavior and the host launch time, and their probability of reference is relatively low.

Just when Ethan prayed that God would bless himself once, in the afternoon, George Lucas, who had temporarily handled the work, came to Global. The bearded man first communicated with Steven Spielberg alone.

After a while, the two appeared in front of Ethan together.

George Lucas smiled and said, "Ethan, thank you very much for helping me. Steven and I discussed it and decided to reach a cooperation with you and invite Destiny Game to develop a "Star Wars" namely

The game to help the movies carry out better publicity.”

"Since our cooperation is different from other cooperations, other companies may be selling copyrights and developing games, while our demand is to authorize naming to help promote and distribute. Therefore, I don't know how you are considering the promotion fee?

What is the psychological price? And what is the payment method?”

Speaking of this, Lucas rubbed his hands embarrassedly and said, "Ethan, Steven should have told you that I have no money now, so... can you accept the delayed payment?"

‘???’

When Ethan finished listening to Lucas's words, his entire face was filled with WTF?

He suspected that his ears were wrong!

He used the name "Star Wars" to make a game, and then Lucas would give him money?

Is there such a good thing in the world?

However, after a moment of surprise, Ethan reacted.

Lucas and Spielberg were thinking that they were taking advantage of their popularity!

Although this kind of thing is funny no matter how you hear it, Ethan doesn't take it seriously.

He smiled and shook his head, "Oh George, you don't have to mention such things as publicity fees."

"After all, the game was inspired by your and Steven's movies."

"You trust me and are willing to use my name, that's enough."

"As for other things?"

"Hey! When Steven helped me and contacted Rudolph, Professor Ralph Bell, he didn't ask me to pay any agency fee! Now he helped me get some information and didn't ask what I want

Information money! So don’t mention these messy things again!”

"I'll get angry if I mention it again!"

Ethan deliberately put on a stern face.

Lucas's face ignited.
