"Hello Director Chris Deng!"

"Hello Director Li Xu, please be seated!"

"Thank you!"

Although John has been in Hollywood for many years, this is the first time he and Li Hao have met.

So sometimes the world is big and small.

"Director Li Pu came to me this time, I don't know what happened?"

After Eve Hugo served coffee to the two, she stood aside obediently, listening to the conversation between the two with her ears pricked up, thinking that there must be something big about the two directors meeting in private.

"After reading "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", I was very interested in this story, so I asked someone to buy the copyright to shoot it, but who knew that you were the first step, so I came to see if everyone could cooperate. Li Qi said with a smile, he didn't say to buy it, because this is insulting John, there are only scripts between big directors, and I haven't heard of buying and selling copyrights, copyright is the foundation of the film industry, no one will easily sell the copyright in their hands, unless they wait for money to save their lives, just like Marvel waiting for money to boil, otherwise it will not sell the heroes in its hands one by one.

"Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is really in my hands, and I love the story, plus my sister likes acting, so I wanted to buy it and use it as her first work when she grows up. "John bought "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" really for Xiao Jiu, otherwise he wouldn't have bought it at all.

"Director Chris Deng loves my sister very much! Will you do this movie yourself?" Li Xuan doesn't think John will shoot "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" himself, although John is recognized as an all-round director, but after all, this is another culture in another country, and it can't be filmed with strong directing ability.

"No, I don't understand the culture of the rabbit country, I am a layman for this kind of movie, so I may find a rabbit country director to shoot it, and I just have to pay for it. Although John can also shoot, he doesn't want to shoot, his shooting work has been planned for a long time, and he doesn't have "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in his plan.

"Then what does Director Chris Deng think of me?" Li Pumao then recommended himself, he was very interested in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", although he was one step late to John and did not buy the copyright, but his original intention was to shoot it himself.

"Of course you can, director Li Pu, as a world director, can't ask for it. But it may take a few years to wait, my sister has just entered high school now, and she won't start until she graduates from film school, I don't know if director Li Xuan can afford to wait. "Xiao Jiu went to high school last year, so it will take at least four or five years for John to start the project Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

"It doesn't matter, I happen to have other projects in my hands, and when I finish working on them, I will have time to shoot. "Unless a director like Li Pu is unwilling to take on the film, he will not have no projects, and the filming plan for the next five or six years may be planned.

"Okay, that's it! Director Fei, you can just ask your agent to tell me. ”

John won't bargain with Li Xuan, everyone is a director, and he knows how much he is worth, if you shout a sky-high price, you will be humiliating.

"That's okay, that's it, bother. ”

After the matter was discussed, Li Xuan got up to say goodbye, he was also a busy man, and he came to the crown studio to deliberately take time out.

"Walk slowly. ”

John didn't hold back, knowing that everyone was busy, he sent Li Qi out of the studio, and only turned around and went back to the house after seeing Li Qi's car start.

In fact, even if Li Xuan doesn't come to John, John will go to Li Xuan at that time, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will be tasteless if he finds another person to film, such as inviting Wu Baige, it is likely that "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will be called "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Pigeon".

After getting rid of Li Xu, John had a casual lunch in the studio, then took a nap and got up to meet Peter Jackson.

Eve Hugo deliberately put the time of the two of them, one in the morning and the other in the afternoon, so that John could save time, so that he would not have time to do something else and come back to meet people, and John was very satisfied with her intimate arrangement.

"Hello Director Chris Deng, hello!"

"Hello Director Jackson!"

Peter Jackson shook hands with John at the door of Studio Crown, and John ushered Peter Jackson into his office.

Peter Jackson kept his posture low the whole time.

No way, now Peter Jackson is not Peter the Great, but Peter is fat, a second-tier director who is neither tall nor short, and there is a big gap between him and a super first-line director like John.

And no one in Hollywood is going to come to John now, because the last two people who troubled John are now playing soap with each other in prison. So no one will be so blind.

"Director Jackson has something to do with me?" John asked politely, not at all.

John rarely seldom puts on a show of Hollywood people, not because these people are big directors or big stars, but because it's not necessary, just like an elephant doesn't flex his muscles in front of ants. Therefore, the bigger the person, the more intimate he appears to be in the face of the more ordinary person.

"I took the liberty to come here for "The Lord of the Rings", I heard that you bought the copyright of "The Lord of the Rings", and I originally wanted to recommend myself, hoping to shoot "The Lord of the Rings", but then I heard that you had already asked the crew to prepare, so I realized that you planned to shoot it yourself, which is really presumptuous. Peter Jackson was a little embarrassed, when he was looking for John, there was no news on the Internet that John was going to shoot "The Lord of the Rings", so he also heard about it recently, which made him a little embarrassed.

"It's okay, I can understand it, I have the same hands itching when I see a good script. John smiled kindly, and then continued. "But I'm only sorry, I want to shoot "The Lord of the Rings" myself. ”

"Of course, of course. Peter Jackson nodded repeatedly, knowing that John's crew had lost hope after preparing the preliminary work for "The Lord of the Rings", and this time he came purely to apologize.

"But I know you're a fan of The Lord of the Rings, and it will definitely be a pity for you not to let you shoot it, so how about I leave "The Hobbit" to you to film?"

"The Hobbit" is a prequel to "The Lord of the Rings", and John will not make "The Hobbit", so it is natural to hand over the series of movies to others, and Peter Jackson is undoubtedly the best candidate.

"Thank you! I'm more than willing to accept this job. Peter Jackson was happy, he didn't expect John to hand over "The Hobbit" to himself, which was nothing short of an accident.

"Well, I'll give it to you when the time comes. ”

John hadn't started writing the script for The Hobbit yet, and he was going to take some time to finish filming The Lord of the Rings before writing the script.

John then talked to Peter Jackson about filming.

After chatting about the same, Peter Jackson knew that John was busy, so he got up and said goodbye very interestingly, and John didn't stay, and sent Peter Jackson out of the door himself.
