Chapter 816: The worst outcome is nothing more than sweeping the floor
(FFF: You get the idea!)
This matter is developing in a good direction, which makes Wu Cheng breathe a sigh of relief. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
He was a little worried that this guy would have a lion mouth with him. If he does,
And if such a thing really happens, the loss will definitely not only be a little bit of his fame, but even "Ending this drama" has to be hastily drawn, let alone making a sequel, if you want to shoot it, you have to pay this guy, which Wu Cheng doesn't want to see.
Therefore, Wu Cheng was very relieved to have such an ending, and he couldn't help but look down on Ellison. Wu Cheng can understand how much Ellison has given up for this.
In the original time and space, Wu Cheng didn't know how this matter was resolved later, but it should be through out-of-court settlement!
I believe it is impossible to understate it as much as it is now!
After all, if you analyze it carefully, the movie "Terminator" does have the shadow of the TV series "Alien Boundary" in the sixties.
Therefore, Wu Cheng is very satisfied with such a result, and he has a somewhat good impression of Ellison, a middle-aged man.
However, because of this incident, Wu Cheng secretly raised his vigilance, and when he plagiarized again in the future, he must carefully examine it. Of course, if it's something that isn't in the memory tree, that is, something he didn't know in the previous life, then there's no way.
So Wu Cheng decided that when he had time, he would first write the scripts of the blockbusters he was familiar with in the future. For example, "Saving Private Ryan", "Pirates of the Caribbean", "The Matrix" and so on.
Thinking of the movie "The Matrix", Wu Cheng thought of another vampire movie "Tales of the Night". Wu Cheng actually wrote the movie script of the "Legend of the Night" series a long time ago, although he only wrote an outline. Because he had long thought that as soon as Zhong Chuhong graduated, he would let Zhong Chuhong act in this play. The main reason why Zhong Chuhong was allowed to appear in this play was because of Zhong Chuhong's eyes. In his opinion, Zhong Chuhong's sexy and charming, starry eyes that seem to be able to speak, have a feeling that people can't help but feel drunk, which is very in line with the mysterious sex appeal of vampires.
As for "The Matrix", Wu Cheng can write it, but he is not in a hurry to publish it, after all, this movie tells a science fiction story that happened on the Internet in the Internet age.
And now, the Internet era has not yet come, and readers will definitely be in the clouds when they read it. In the future, if he waits for the development of the Internet, it is estimated that he will have to be regarded as a god stick again.
Moreover, the film is from the late nineties, and now it is only the early eighties.
Sending Ellison away, Wu Cheng chatted with Shirley Lansing for a while. Hearing Wu Cheng say that the matter was settled, Shirley Lansing also breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, she was even more nervous than Wu Cheng.
Yesterday, when she saw the 'evidence', her whole heart was lifted.
If Ellison hadn't come to them directly, but had gone straight to the courthouse, DreamWorks would have suffered a lot of damage. And more importantly, this matter will definitely become a big stain on Wu Cheng, a stain that can't be washed off.
Although Wu Cheng doesn't care much about the operation of DreamWorks, Wu Cheng's importance to DreamWorks is still self-evident. Everyone knows that Wu Cheng is the biggest signboard of DreamWorks, as long as he is there, even if he doesn't make movies or write scripts, DreamWorks won't go out of business easily.
And once something happens to him, especially when it comes to plagiarism, it's no longer a matter of talent, but it rises to the level of morality.
Although Lan Xin also knew that Wu Cheng would not plagiarize other people's works, but these evidences could only make her speechless, even if she was willing to believe that it was a coincidence, but what about outsiders?
"He's not pursuing it anymore?" Lansing asked curiously.
Wu Cheng smiled: "He also believes that this is just a coincidence, but in order to block the mouths of those who may have some good things in the future, I still spent 100,000 US dollars in 'hush money'." Of course, Mr. Ellison was not short of money, and he said he was going to donate the $100,000 to the Red Cross!"
"What a perfect ending!"
"I hope so!"
"What?
"Perhaps! If such a thing happens, it will also be an opportunity for hype. Wu Cheng smiled again and said, "Okay, nothing else, I'll leave first." ”
"Wait!"
"Anything else?"
"It's about "Back to the Future 2", director Zemeckis thinks that he can shoot the second part while the iron is hot, what do you think?" Shirley Lansing asked: "Anyway, the script of the second part has been written, and it will be put away, and then the second part will be filmed, and there seems to be no problem with the second part, right?"
Wu Cheng thought for a moment, nodded and said, "I have no opinion! However, do you think that this drama can be released at Christmas? It's almost October now!"
"Obviously unlikely!" said Shirley Lansing.
"So, next summer, will our company have a blockbuster released?"
"You want to save this play until that time?"
Wu Cheng smiled and said: "Steven, James, George, the three of them, will definitely not think about making a film right away, that is to say, next summer, only Stallone may make a film and fight for it." So, why don't we make reasonable use of the schedule?"
After a pause, he said: "In addition, the "Shaolin Temple" that the Spring Festival file has to leave to me. ”
"BOSS, it's not that I want to hit you, Chinese movies are placed here, if you want to release them on a large scale, it will be difficult, and the audience's acceptance is also a problem. ”
Wu Cheng said indifferently: "It doesn't matter, as long as there are 1,000 theaters willing to show it! Anji Cinema Line, plus Mr. Lei Shidong's theater plays, and then find a random theater line and make up a thousand theaters, I don't think it should be too difficult to problem." ”
In Wu Cheng's view, this movie, released in North America, will make extra money at the box office. Without the Treasure Island ticket warehouse, the North American ticket warehouse must not be lost.
Moreover, the original time and space, the movie "Shaolin Temple" can cause a sensation in many overseas countries, there is no reason why it can't even make a splash when it comes to North America now!
"Alright then! I'll do my best!"
"You can tell those cinema operators that this cooperation is an opportunity to test whether our cooperative relationship is harmonious. In the future, DreamWorks' films will depend on whether everyone's cooperation is pleasant this time. Of course, you can also arrange a viewing party in advance......"
"BOSS, isn't this a bit overbearing?"
Wu Cheng looked at him with a smile and said, "Isn't this normal? When someone treats you well, are you willing to be nice to him? This is mutual, if they don't understand, then there is no need to continue to cooperate!"
"Okay! What do you mean, I'll pass it on to those people!"
"Don't worry! The "Shaolin Temple" I made is not another messy film, which is a breakthrough for action movies and Chinese kung fu films. I think anyone who has studied movies can see it, even for ordinary audiences!"
After a pause, he added: "Moreover, kung fu movies in North America are actually not without a market, Mr. Li Xiaolong has fully proved this point, isn't it?"
"Okay! you're the boss, I'll convey your wishes!" After a pause, she added: "I'm just a little worried, if the box office is not good at the time, it will not be a good thing for your fame, even if this is a Chinese kung fu movie." ”
"It doesn't matter! The total investment of that film is actually less than three million US dollars, and even on the Xiangjiang side, I am confident that I can recover the cost. How much money is earned here. ”
"Oh my! less than three million dollars?"
"Isn't it strange? It's not that you don't know the prices on the other side of the Xiangjiang River!"
"Okay!"
Wu Cheng paused and said: "The drama "Shaolin Temple", the release of Europe and the United States, will be handed over to DreamWorks to do, and in Southeast Asia, Xiangjiang Donglong International will be responsible, is there any problem?"
"Okay! no problem for now. ”
After a casual chat with Shirley Lansing, Wu Cheng took his leave.
Back here, several women didn't know what was going on, and Wu Cheng didn't tell them, so as not to worry about them.
In the evening, Wu Cheng took Hepburn to attend the party of casino tycoon Kerion.
Zhao Yazhi and the girls didn't want to join in the excitement, and they weren't very used to the parties here, especially those parties held by a good, lustful guy like Kecorian.
There will be no shortage of beauties at his party. Zhao Yazhi and the others didn't want to go to that kind of occasion, watching those women stick to Wu Cheng's side.
The boldness of those women often shocks their eyeballs, and they can't believe it.
They weren't interested, so Wu Cheng had no choice but to pull Hepburn away. After all, Hepburn was a Westerner and knew the Westerners' style of doing things very well. And her fame here is much greater than that of Zhao Yazhi and the others, so letting her go with her is actually the best choice.
"Hey, Cheng, welcome!"
Seeing Wu Cheng coming with Hepburn, Kercorian went out to greet him, and when he saw Wu Cheng, he directly hugged Wu Cheng, and then looked at Hepburn and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Oh my God! Ms. Hepburn, is it really you? Why do I think you're getting younger and younger?"
Hepburn smiled slightly, hugged Kecorian slightly, and said, "Thank you!"
"Okay, old man, don't keep staring at my wife, is that rude!"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa...... Did you hear that? Ms. Hepburn, your man is jealous! He's such a stingy man!"
"But I still like it!" Hepburn smiled and took his man's hand.
Kerkorian shrugged his shoulders helplessly and said, "Okay! )
