Chapter 87: Top Player - Part 2

This guy didn't tell him in advance that Spielberg is a friend in MCA?

Thinking about this, Ethan suddenly turned his head, a fierce light in his eyes as he looked to the side.

At this moment, Jobs was embracing himself, like an old father, watching his friends exchange greetings.

The sense of achievement of having kings from one field meet kings from another field made him smile on his cheeks.

When he noticed Ethan suddenly turning his head and staring at him, Jobs asked strangely, "Ethan, is there something wrong?"

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Why didn't you tell me earlier that the person helping me was Steven?" Ethan asked directly.

'?'

This question left Jobs puzzled and he asked, "You didn't ask either!"

"If I didn't ask, can't you say it?"

"You didn't ask me why I should say it!"

"Then don't say it now. When the company is established, I'll deduct a year's bonus from you."

"WTF?" Jobs was surprised.

He didn't know what was wrong with Ethan.

And when Spielberg, who didn't understand, asked about his doubts, Ethan smiled and said, "Oh, Steven, we're fine."

"I just think it's rude of Steve not to inform me of your identity in advance."

"If I had known from the beginning that it was you helping me, I would have come to thank you after dealing with Milowa's lawsuit."

Spielberg laughed when he heard these words.

"Oh, Ethan, don't be so polite. I just did what I wanted to do."

Jobs rolled his eyes and didn't bother with Ethan's sudden eccentricity.

During the conversation, Spielberg's stomach suddenly growled.

Correspondingly, the hands of the wall clock and the display of four o'clock in the afternoon seemed out of sync with Spielberg's stomach.

This sound made him embarrassed and he said, "Oh, I came to Universal today and played games here because I felt I could pass, but unexpectedly, I played for several hours, so... I didn't have lunch at noon..."

He spread his hands.

"Is it a coincidence?" Spielberg's words reminded Ethan of the encounter just now, and he sighed, "We left the house at nine or ten in the morning, thinking we could get here by two in the afternoon, grab a bite and then find you. But I didn't expect Los Angeles to be so congested."

"Because I was afraid you weren't here, so we came straight here."

"I'm hungry now too. If you don't mind, shall we go out to eat together?"

"Oh—Is that so?" Spielberg nodded, "We can eat together, but there's no need to go out."

"We have a cafeteria at Universal, and they should be preparing dinner now. Let's go there directly."

"Of course, if you want to go out to eat, I can take you to MK. That's Charlie Chaplin's favorite restaurant."

"Raymond (Chandler) used to go to that restaurant often when he was alive."

"Their filet steak and turbot fish are excellent!"

"Let's eat at the cafeteria today." Ethan made a choice.

At the same time, he said, "Of course, I mainly want to see the inside of your Universal, is that okay?"

"Of course, no problem!" Spielberg decisively nodded, "I have the final say in Universal now."

But when he was about to lead the way, he suddenly stopped and said, "Ethan, before we go to dinner, can you fulfill a wish for me?"

"What?"

"Can you give me an autograph? Just sign on this arcade machine."

"Of course!"

Ethan took the marker and signed his name on the arcade machine.

At the same time, he wrote: October 15, 1975, ______ officially cleared, witnessed by Ethan Jones and ______.

After writing this sentence, he handed the pen to Spielberg.

He gladly accepted it and signed his name in the blank space before the official clearance.

After that, Ethan signaled Jobs to come over.

Let him fill in his name in front of the witnessed.

This situation made Jobs full of joy.

Because he didn't expect Ethan to give him so much face.

You know, "Jaws" is currently the hottest movie, earning seven million dollars in the first week of its release, creating history, and breaking one billion in just fifty-nine days, becoming the first movie to break one billion in box office since the birth of movies!

"Snake Game" is not inferior either, with sales revenue of fifteen million in half a year, leveraging several billion in game income!

When such a person who created history left a blank space on the game machine, he could actually participate in it?

'Oh Ethan——'

'You're really a good buddy!'

Jobs thought to himself.

Then he happily signed his name.

Note:

When Jobs was selling goods at Atari, he met the not-yet-famous Spielberg because of the game. Due to the game's relationship, the two had a very good relationship. When Jobs purchased Pixar from Lucas, Spielberg played a role in connecting them. The coolest thing is that when Spielberg expressed that Jobs wanted to buy Pixar, Lucas directly sold Pixar to Jobs for 5 million, despite Gates offering more.

Spielberg's love for games is indeed crazy. In reality, he wrote a strategy guide for "Space Invaders," and the first page read, 'I hope the reader of this book is a game fan.' When shooting "E.T.," he brought his own "Donkey Kong" arcade machine to the set. In reality, he had a good relationship with Atari. When Atari released the home console 2600, he even authorized his debut work, "Duel Racing," to Atari, allowing Atari to turn the movie into a game.
