In 1973, George Lucas became famous for his "American Style Painting", but the earliest Geek already had some crazier ideas in his heart. "Star Wars" was one of them. One is about the madness of adventurous archaeology. Two years later, at a dinner, Lucas and another fledgling director, Philip Kaufman, talked about the action-adventure movie Raidenhua he watched as a child. They met each other late and had mixed feelings. Lucas took out the story of "Indiana Jones" to discuss with him, and named the male protagonist Indiana Smith (Indiana is the name of the Lucasian Husky.) Lucas was busy with official duties in "Star Wars", so Kaufman was invited to serve as the director, but Kaufman politely declined because of the need to write the script for Clint Eastwood's "The Law Enforcer of the West". In 1977, the success of "Star Wars" made Lucas the new power magnate in Hollywood. Lucas also went to Hawaii and gave himself a vacation. There, he met another old friend-Spielberg. At that time, Spielberg had already filmed "The Third Type of Contact." In the Hawaiian daylight, Spielberg talked about the situation where he recently wanted to direct "007" but was shut down. Lucas came up with a better plan. Spielberg was stunned at the time, but he couldn't finish it. He only suggested that Lucas shoot it himself. Lucas said, "I'm going to retire. If you want to shoot, it will be yours." Subsequently, Lucas handed the script to the screenwriter of "The Empire Strikes Back" Lawrence Kasdan for polishing, and finally discussed with Spielberg. In the end, Spielberg changed the protagonist's surname from Smith to Jones, and the familiar Doctor Treasure and a series that lasted for more than 20 years were born.
