书籍简介

这是一个鲜为人知的私密故事，讲述了三位年轻的电影奇才——弗朗西斯·福特·科波拉、乔治·卢卡斯和史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格——如何革新美国电影，创作出影史上较具标志性的影片，同时又不惜一切代价，重新定义了友谊，并塑造了我们今天所知的好莱坞。

1967年夏天，旧好莱坞制片厂制度日渐式微之际，一位名叫乔治·卢卡斯的年轻电影学院毕业生走进了华纳兄弟片场，开始了他的工作，担任另一位冉冉升起、名不见经传的电影人——弗朗西斯·福特·科波拉——的助理。科波拉是一位热情奔放、育有两个孩子的父亲。与此同时，在城另一边的环球影城，一位来自犹太家庭、痴迷电影的二十岁青年史蒂文·斯皮尔伯格渴望摆脱在这家苦苦挣扎的制片厂的学徒生涯，成为一名真正属于自己的电影导演。

不到一年，这三位年轻人就成为了朋友。斯皮尔伯格优先考虑的是稳定，他签下了一份为期七年的电视剧导演合同。渴望独立自主的卢卡斯和科波拉离开好莱坞，前往旧金山创立了另类电影公司——美国佐特罗普影业，摆脱了企业资本主义的束缚，自由地创作电影。

《好莱坞末代君王》一书基于广泛的研究和对这三位好莱坞巨擘核心圈人士的数百次采访，讲述了这三位电影人在接下来的十五年间，如何既相互竞争又相互扶持，如何反目成仇又重归于好，以及如何努力重塑美国流行电影的惊险故事。在此期间，科波拉执导了《教父》，这部影片一度成为影史票房较高的电影，直到斯皮尔伯格凭借《大白鲨》超越它——卢卡斯又凭借《星球大战》打破了《大白鲨》的纪录，而斯皮尔伯格又凭借《E.T.外星人》再次超越了《星球大战》。到了20世纪80年代初，他们已成为世界上较富有、较知名的电影人，各自拥有一个庞大的电影帝国。 《好莱坞末代君王》是一部前所未有的编年史，记录了他们的崛起、梦想与心魔、成功与失败——既私密又非凡，而且极具娱乐性。

The untold, intimate story of how three young visionaries―Francis Ford Coppola, George Lucas, and Steven Spielberg―revolutionized American cinema, creating the most iconic films in history while risking everything, redefining friendship, and shaping Hollywood as we know it.

In the summer of 1967, as the old Hollywood studio system was dying, an intense, uncompromising young film school graduate named George Lucas walked onto the Warner Bros backlot for his first day working as an assistant to another up-and-coming, largely-unknown filmmaker, a boisterous father of two called Francis Ford Coppola. At the exact same time, across town on the Universal Studios lot, a film-obsessed twenty-year-old from a peripatetic Jewish family, Steven Spielberg, longed to break free from his apprenticeship for the struggling studio and become a film director in his own right.

Within a year, the three men would become friends. Spielberg, prioritizing security, got his seven-year contract directing television. Lucas and Coppola, hungry for independence, left Hollywood for San Francisco to found an alternative studio, American Zoetrope, and make films without answering to corporate capitalism.

Based on extensive research and hundreds of original interviews with the inner circle of these Hollywood icons, The Last Kings of Hollywood tells the thrilling, dramatic inside story of how, over the next fifteen years, the three filmmakers rivalled and supported each other, fell out and reconciled, and struggled to reinvent popular American cinema. Along the way, Coppola directed The Godfather, then the highest-grossing film of all-time, until Spielberg surpassed it with Jaws ― whose record Lucas broke with Star Wars, which Spielberg surpassed again with E.T. By the early 1980s, they were the richest, best-known filmmakers in the world, each with an empire of their own. The Last Kings of Hollywood is an unprecedented chronicle of their rise, their dreams and demons, their triumphs and their failures ― intimate, extraordinary, and supremely entertaining.
