Mr. X's counterattack has not arrived for a long time, and the nominations for the Academy Awards have been announced.

"Black, White and Grey" received multiple nominations for the Academy Awards, which immediately fueled Riley's arrogance.

It stands to reason that a movie has been recognized by the judges, how much achievement it has, in fact, the importance of the screenwriter in it is not so prominent, but "Black, White and Gray" is not a big production, and the box office of the movie is average, plus Riley took the initiative to scold Mr. X, who has been the hottest recently, so he invisibly added a halo to himself.

It's just that anyone with a discerning eye knows that don't look at Riley's cheerfulness, in fact, even if he wins the Oscar for Best Screenplay, it is difficult to compare with the hot Mr. X.

Is screenwriting important? Of course it is, the script is the script of a play, but in fact, in this era of commercial supremacy and profit-oriented, the importance of screenwriters in Hollywood is far less than he imagined.

And Mr. X, it is true that he did not get any Academy Award nominations or anything, but his works can undoubtedly create more benefits for the capital, which is the reason why capital chases his works.

As for Riley, his works, except for "Black, White and Gray", are really like that.

Of course, for Riley, if "Black, White and Gray" can successfully make him top the Oscars, then his own works will definitely be worth twice as much.

That's the biggest reason why he jumps up and down.

Mr. X is not a legendary writer yet, but it is foreseeable that even if Mr. X does not release new works in the future, the current works are enough to make Mr. X a legend.

The two series of "Sherlock Holmes" and "Harry Potter" can be predicted to be commercially enough for Mr. X to eat for a lifetime.

In particular, with the completion of the first part of "Harry Potter", word of mouth has gradually begun to ferment, and its influence is no longer limited to young children, but has begun to develop towards all ages.

Riley's clamor and the impetus of the investors of "Black, White and Gray" are not without any benefits for Mr. X, at least, Mr. X's name has been repeatedly mentioned in the film and television industry recently.

Of course, for book lovers, for the media, they are also looking forward to Mr. X's new work.

Everyone knows that Mr. X is a fast gunner, and it is normal for ordinary writers to have one work a year, or even one work in a few years, but Mr. X is different, his speed is too fast, which is why Mr. X is suspected of being a team.

But no matter what, each of Mr. X's works can really surprise people.

This has been the case every time from "The Da Vinci Code" to "Harry Potter".

So what type of new work will Mr. X be?

Will it be a return to suspense, or will it continue on the path of children's work?

Or will Mr. X attack other genres?

In this regard, many people are waiting and looking forward to it.

Riley suddenly found that no matter how he criticized Mr. X in the media and on the show, but from beginning to end, even if he was nominated for an Academy Award, he still couldn't change the fact that he was far from Mr. X.

For the new work, Ye Qiu doesn't have any plans, to put it bluntly, these are not his works, he is just a porter of words.

However, with the sign of Riley, it gave him a little bad taste.

Didn't you get an Oscar nomination? Then I'll make an Oscar-winning work.

Horror films have always been not liked by the Oscar judges, this is something that many people know, "Black, White and Gray" has reached the top if it can be nominated, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that "Black, White and Gray" is not qualified enough for the Oscars to break the inherent tradition.

Horror and sci-fi films may perform well in commercial films, but on an artistic level, it is often difficult to gain recognition.

There are many nominated films, but only a handful of them have actually won awards.

But in the previous life, there were still exceptions, and "The Silence of the Lambs" broke this phenomenon, and it is not an exaggeration to sweep the Oscars back then.

Best Actor, Best Actress, Best Picture, Best Adapted Screenplay, and several of the most important awards, all of which went to The Silence of the Lambs.

And there seems to be no other thriller-themed film that has won so many awards.

"Black, White and Grey" finally returned empty-handed at the Academy Awards, and Riley failed to make it to the top.

And at this time, Qidian Literature, Dianjin Film and Television, and Mina Film jointly held a press conference.

It was announced that the film and television script "The Silence of the Lambs" created by Mr. X himself will be jointly invested and produced by the three companies.

Looking at the name of "The Silence of the Lambs", it is difficult to tell what the theme is.

However, in the announced news, the classification of "The Silence of the Lambs" is suspense/crime/plot.

It is already clear that Mr. X has returned to suspenseful works, only this time "The Silence of the Lambs" will appear directly in the form of a script.

Mr. X is known as the first person in suspense, and the script he created directly for a movie for the first time naturally received a lot of attention.

Coupled with Riley's clamor before, this "The Silence of the Lambs" also gave more topics.

The media even directly gave various speculative headlines.

Mr. X wants to challenge for the Academy Awards with "The Silence of the Lambs".

The first person in suspense, the first time to tailor a script for film and television works.

However, "The Silence of the Lambs" has only just begun the preparatory stage of the project, and it is still too early to be released.

However, the film adaptation of Mr. X's other two works, "The Da Vinci Code" and "Midnight Bell", has begun to enter the pre-release publicity stage.

Among them, "The Da Vinci Code", as Mr. X's pioneering work, has fans all over the world, and the total number of hits of "The Da Vinci Code" on the Qidian Literature International Station officially exceeded 10 billion before the report was published.

The global physical book sales officially exceeded 10 million copies!

The global physical book sales of "Midnight Bell" also officially announced that it exceeded 8 million copies, of which 4 million copies were in the island country alone.

"The Da Vinci Code" was the first to be released, winning the North American box office for two consecutive weeks, and reaching $400 million at the global box office two weeks after its release.

In the end, the global box office was as high as 840 million US dollars, but "The Da Vinci Code" was cold in China and Southeast Asia, and the box office did not achieve the expected results.

But such results are enough to make investors make a lot of money.

"Midnight Bell" was released simultaneously around the world, and on the first day of the release, there was a news from the island country that when someone was watching the movie, he was frightened by the scene of Sadako crawling out of the TV in "Midnight Bell" and had a heart attack on the spot and was sent to the hospital for rescue.

For a while, "Midnight Bell" caused a lot of scolding, but for the box office, this incident not only did not make the box office of "Midnight Bell" fall, but ushered in a wave of movie-watching craze.
