Chapter 1161: Slap in the face
This young Chinese man is actually a well-known Chinese Internet writer!
It's just that the writer ID is a great god author from a very early time, and he has disappeared for almost seven or eight years, and many fans think that the author himself is no longer engaged in this industry. Unexpectedly, he entered Hollywood and became a screenwriter.
"The son of the Lu family turned out to be you? I have read a few of the monster travelogue novels you wrote, which are very charming, and they are very rare among online writers. Wang Yong said.
Lu Wentao scratched his head embarrassedly: "That was when I was in college, my grandfather was more traditional, and he forced me to read traditional books when I was very young. And I was only tired of facing those obscure ancient texts, until I discovered the "Classic of Mountains and Seas", "Sou Shen Ji", "Huainanzi", "Naturalist Chronicles", "Divine Classics" and other ancient books, as if a new world had been opened all of a sudden, and I became interested in ancient Chinese books. Later, when I went to college, I didn't have much in common with my classmates in the United States, so I liked to surf on the Chinese forum. Then I came into contact with the online novel industry, and began to try to write novels about my understanding and fantasy of Chinese myths and stories. I didn't expect it to be quite popular at the time......"
Listening to Lu Wentao's narration, Roland glanced at Chen Kai and the others, and the excitement in his eyes became more and more obvious.
This Lu Wentao is clearly sent by God to help Sword and Stone Pictures!
has rich experience in screenwriting, and has written Huaxia Zhiwei novels, it can be said that there is no one more suitable to become the screenwriter of "The Classic of Mountains and Seas" than him!
Even the veteran screenwriters invited by Roland before did not have this advantage!
"Oh, dear Lu, you are really a gift from God!" Roland took the lead and opened his arms to Lu Wentao.
"I don't think anyone will object to your joining anymore! Welcome new colleagues!" Miye also applauded at Lu Wentao.
Chen Kai winked at Lu Wentao: "Happy cooperation, our editor-in-chief." ”
And Lu Wentao was a little confused.
Before he walked into the door of Sword and Stone Pictures, he was mentally prepared to be turned away. Even the best assumption is that Wang Yong will keep him as the third or second screenwriter.
But now looking at the reaction of Wang Yong and others, it is clear that they directly treat him as the first screenwriter!
"I ...... Accepted?" asked Lu Wentao with some disbelief.
Wang Yong smiled and pointed to an empty desk and said, "Of course." If you like, you can sit there now and start imagining the first image of our movie. ”
Lu Wentao's eyes lit up with excitement, and he solemnly bowed to Wang Yong, Luo Lan and others: "Thank you for your trust in me, I will definitely live up to expectations!"
As Wang Yong expected, Lu Wentao really didn't even ask about the specific salary, and started working directly.
As directors, Roland and Chen Kai decide the world, story and spiritual emotions that the film needs to build. So the job of screenwriting actually has to be done by three people.
"Here. Roland opened his tablet and beckoned to Lu Wentao.
Soon, the three of them were caught up in a heated discussion.
And Wang Yong and Miye, as outsiders, quietly left the office to buy food.
Obviously, I can't eat today's big meal, but it seems quite comfortable to be able to eat such a working meal.
…………………………
The outside world still doesn't know what happened in just a few hours, and countless people are still gloating and singing funeral songs for Wang Yong's new movie.
In particular, Wang Yong offended the most in the directors' union.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, the directors' union held a regular press conference.
In addition to announcing the latest batch of new directors who have joined the directors' union, this press conference will also announce the list of some removed directors.
Of course, since the establishment of the directors' union, it is very rare for directors to be removed, and they have hardly seen one in a year. And in the past, it was none other than the bad director who had a major scandal.
Only this time is different, the director who was removed this time does not have any scandal of his own, just for an unspeakable reason.
Directed by Roland.
The scene was crowded, and reporters from all walks of life came to the press conference. The purpose is very clear, that is, I want to explore in detail the festival between the directors' union and Wang Yong, Luo Lan and others.
It's a hot topic right now.
"Silence, the press conference begins. Mr. Bosch, President of the Board of Directors, would like to announce the list of new directors of the Directors Guild. The host said.
There was a lot of applause.
The reporters crowded into the bustling hall, not to hear the names of the directors they didn't even know in person. That's why it's no wonder they're interested!
The president of the directors' union also knew this, and walked on stage with a blank face, without any nonsense, and directly read the names of those new directors. The whole process takes no more than a minute.
It is estimated that these directors are the new directors with the fewest pictures in the history of the union.
It can only be said that they are unlucky, and the time is not right.
"Now, I would like to announce another notice. Bose reached out and touched his mustache and said in a deep voice.
brush, and the people in the entire hall seemed to come to life at once, exuding a strong aura of longing.
Seeing the fishy expressions of the reporters in the audience, Bosch sneered in his heart.
You know that these idiots are here for this! And today, these idiots will be the mouthpiece for the directors' guild to show their existence. The strength of the directors' guild will spread from their mouths throughout the United States and the whole world!
"Before the announcement, all I could say was regret. It's a pity that an old director made this mistake in his old age, that he was an American citizen, but that he took the wrong path of acting as a cultural eagle dog for other countries, that he regretted that the directors' guild had lost a well-known director, and that there would be another one more on the list of Hollywood's fallen directors!" Bosch said in a cold tone, looking distressed, as if he really couldn't bear to announce what was going to happen next.
The reporters in the audience stared at Bos without blinking, for fear of missing a word in his speech.
"Directors' Guild Circular Document No. 1362: In accordance with Articles 78, 79 and 101 of the Director's Guild Regulations, Roland, a member of the Director's Guild, is dealt with as follows. From now on, all positions and memberships in the Directors Guild will be revoked, and Roland's benefits in other areas will be revoked due to the Directors Guild, and he will never be hired!"
Bosch finally began to read the text.
"Really fired?" Even though they had known the news for a long time, the reporters on the scene were still a little incredulous.
Roland is not a bad street director, he is also a well-known Hollywood director. Everyone thought that the director's union would only make the conflict between the two sides a big thing and a small thing, but they didn't expect it to be directly disclosed to the surface, and they started first and fired Director Roland!
"Is the directors' union preparing for a strong comeback?" a reporter sighed.
"What do you say, the directors' union has always been very strong. It's just that there has never been a director of Roland's level who has had a conflict with the guild before, which doesn't show the strength of the director's union. Now, the directors' union is simply an example for other big directors to see. Being expelled is a trivial matter, and the isolation of Hollywood after the expulsion is fatal. Director Roland was really careless in his old age this time, and he made a big mistake. A knowledgeable reporter corrected.
"It's Roland's fault. He didn't make a good sequel to "Godzilla", so he had to mix it up with the Chinese. I thought I was hugging a thigh, but I didn't expect to be hugging a cactus! This time he was full of thorns, and no one pulled him out. ”
"The director's union is very sharp in this wave of operations. It not only clarified their leadership position in Hollywood, but also announced to the outside world that if you want to enter Hollywood, you must abide by the rules of the game they have set. Otherwise, he will end up like Wang Yong, who has no money, but can't do anything! A nouveau riche like Huaxia is a joke after all in the face of the century-old Hollywood heritage. ”
The reporters were talking, and most of the discussion reached Bosch's ears.
Bose couldn't help but smile.
This is exactly what he wants.
"Ahem. Bosch coughed lightly and motioned for everyone to be quiet. "Hollywood is not a playground for some, it's a mecca for a century-old American cultural heritage. I want to warn some ill-intentioned people through this incident not to think that they can do whatever they want by waving a check! In this world, money can buy most things, but it definitely does not include the dignity of American filmmakers!"
There was a bang, and warm applause rang out in the audience.
Many reporters were moved by Bosch's righteous and awe-inspiring words and cheered.
"Mr. Boss is right, having money is not about doing whatever you want! Hollywood's dignity cannot be tarnished!"
"Mr. Boss is really a Hollywood filmmaker's bottom line!
Listening to the beautiful words of the reporters, Bosch only felt fluttering, closed his eyes comfortably, and enjoyed this starry atmosphere.
It's just that the sound of praise lasted less than half a minute before it came to an abrupt end.
I saw Jonathan running onto the stage in a panic, shouting, "Oh no, no!
Bose opened his eyes, a flash of anger on his face. This Jonathan really has no eyesight and doesn't know what the occasion is?
"What a matter of panic, what a matter of urgency, something will be said after the press conference!" Bosch rebuked.
Jonathan gave Bose an embarrassed look, then quietly handed Bose a statement document in his hand.
Bose frowned, and took a look.
Just one glance, Bose's face suddenly changed, he stumbled, and almost fell on the stage.
"How is that possible? How can Regal not be trustworthy!" Bose said in despair.
When the reporters in the audience saw this scene, they were all dumbfounded.
"What's going on? What's wrong with Regal? ”
The reporter in the front row poked his head curiously and glanced at the statement document in Bosch's hand.
The document is not long, just a few simple lines.
After reading it, the reporter was also shocked: "How can this be!"
"What the hell is going on?"
"What do you see, tell me quickly, don't sell it, okay?"
Other reporters who didn't see it became anxious.
The reporter who saw the document turned his head, looked at the group of peers, and said in disbelief: "Regal issued a statement, declaring that they have never made a statement about refusing Wang Yong's new film to enter theaters." The media reports are pure rumors, and they do not rule out the use of legal means to preserve Regal's image. And...... And at the end of the statement, they also congratulated Wang Yong's new movie on a great success!"
