Men Who Would Be King（ISBN=） 英文原版

　　For sixty years, the lineup of Hollywood’s major studios
varied little. Then came the Circus Maximus created by director
Steven Spielberg, billionaire David Geffen, and Jeffrey Katzenberg
(who gave the world The Lion King). Nothing in decades had
approached the excitement surrounding the empire called DreamWorks,
where hype and glory gave way to blowups, battles, and betrayals
worthy of The Godfather.
　　Nicole LaPorte reveals for the first time the delicious truth of
what happened behind the scenes. Readers will feel they are part of
the creative calamities of moviemaking as LaPorte’s fly-on-the-wall
detail shows us Hollywood’s bizarre rules of business. We see the
clashes between Spielberg’s troops and Katzenberg’s warriors, the
debacles and disasters, and also the Oscar-winning triumphs,
including Saving Private Ryan. We see Geffen seducing investors and
watch as the studio burns through billions while its rich owners
get richer and everybody else suffers. Here is Hollywood—up-close,
glamorous, and gritty.

　　NICOLE LAPORTE is a former reporter for Variety, where
she covered the Hollywood movie industry for several years. She
wrote “The Rules of Hollywood” column for the Los Angeles Times
Magazine and has written for The New Yorker, the
New York Times, the New York Observer, and W
Magazine. She is currently a West Coast reporter for the Daily
Beast
