Chapter 727 Scene 727 True ambition
At the moment when everyone mentioned H, Lei Ting suddenly understood that Li Xiaole had to finish filming an "art film" at the end of last year, did he already know that no matter how good the movie was, it would be difficult to win the Oscar, and this strike was their biggest chance to win the award!?
How is this possible? Or was this strike secretly manipulated by him? Lei Ting looked at Li Xiaole, and such a very untrue thought emerged in her heart.
"Who?" When Wu Wei heard Lei Ting's words, he jumped up and looked at Li Xiaole with wide eyes:
"Boss, do you really know H?" Although H was Li Xiaole's queen screenwriter in the past, in recent years, H has actively participated in the screenwriters of the six blockbusters such as "Transformers" and "The Dark Knight", and is getting closer and closer to the Big Six, but Li Xiaole's works began to be written by himself, and the names of the two have not been put together for a long time.
Besides, after being in the company for so long, they have never heard of Li Xiaole, the boss, mentioning H, if the two really have a good relationship, or have a good relationship, they will reveal some of it......
As soon as Wu Wei said this, Wagner and Tom Cruise's eyes lit up, and Tom Cruise stood up directly and came over to pinch Li Xiaole's shoulder:
"Lee, do you really know H? No~~ Whether you know him or not, as long as you have his contact information, you don't have to do anything, I am responsible for convincing him~~ You must know that this is not just about the future of our company, but a big event that affects the whole of Hollywood......"
"yes." Wagner also said to the side: "The strike of the union is not for our upstream companies, but for ordinary people who are working hard in those industries, but they can't provide living security for their wives and children, Li~~ You have to know that not everyone in this world is as talented as you." ”
"Old ...... Boss~~ You must look for ...... this time Find him. Xu Zhen couldn't help but stand up.
Seeing such a group of people looking at him with anticipation in their eyes, Li Xiaole also felt amazing at this time, did it turn out that this H created by him was so powerful? It seems that over the years, he has shared and taught his peers on the website of the Screenwriter Republic, and those who pay are not useless~~~ Everyone regards H as a screenwriter master who is truly admired.
"Alright...... Just tell them, don't sell it. Lei Ting looked at Li Xiaole's smile but didn't answer, as if she was enjoying everyone's stinky expressions of unintentional praise, and couldn't help but hum.
"Actually...... What's this...... How do you say that? Li Xiaole's words were blocked in his throat, but he didn't know how to say it...... At this time, admitting that you are H doesn't it seem that you love to show off...... Turning his head to look at Lei Ting, he blinked.
"Oh my God, I'm dying~~ What the hell is going on!?" Tom Cruise couldn't wait to open Li Xiaole's mouth directly and let him explain things clearly.
"Actually, H is Li Xiaole." Lei Ting sighed, said in a low voice, the scene was immediately quiet, everyone was stunned with their mouths open, Lei Ting turned her head and glared at Li Xiaole, which means: "At this time, you still need someone to help you show off~ I really love to play the score~" Li Xiaole could only shrug his shoulders helplessly, if it was bragging about himself, it would be better to blow it himself, but if it was true, it would be more convincing to borrow someone else's mouth.
“H…… Is it the boss? Wu Wei was slightly stunned and asked, some felt that this thing was not very realistic, everyone was also a little confused, created the "Save the Cat" screenwriting system, got the "007" Hand of God three consecutive rewards, established a professional forum in the industry with more than 300,000 real-name registered members "Screenwriters Republic", and wrote many classic movies such as "Transformers", "The Dark Knight" and "Youth Pi", known as the "God of Hollywood Screenwriters" H...... It turned out to be the young Li Xiaole in front of him!? Are you kidding......
Lei Ting saw that everyone looked incredulous, so she could only take out the computer and log in to the account of the "president" on the website of the screenwriter republic, and then click on all the original materials of the script, showing the date and time of its change, and handed it to Wu Wei and said coldly: "You can see it yourself." ”
Everyone's heads came over, huddled together in front of the fourteen-inch LCD screen, and the more they looked at all the materials, the more stunned they became, it was really ...... In the past six years since 2001, all the papers, scripts, and original scripts released by H are on this account, and there are even some temporary notes, character design drawings, and storyboard scripts scanned and uploaded by Li Xiaole......
They all know the handwriting and the painting style of the storyboard script, and at first glance it is from Li Xiaole's hand.
"Oh my God...... Oh my God............" Xu Zhen felt a little split and hugged his head, and his speech slipped smoothly: "The boss is H~!! H is the boss~!! ”
Li ...... You're simply ...... It's incredible~~" Wagner turned his head and looked at Li Xiaole with his mouth closed, H appeared in 2001...... In other words, Li Xiaole created the theory of "saving cats" when he was in college, and wrote scripts with high quality and high quantity at a rate of more than four per year......
A path of "God of Screenwriting" that began at the age of 19 is just too incredible...... You must know that Li Xiaole has been working hard to develop his directorial career during this period, how can he still have time to write so many scripts...... And it's still so many Hollywood A-grade scripts~?
"Lee~~Ha Luha~~Lee~~ You are really the movie Jesus~~! You really are the movie Jesus~~! Tom Cruise frantically came over and hugged Li Xiaole and kissed him violently, and almost jumped up excitedly and shouted: "This time we have a chance to win the Oscar~!" This time we finally have a chance to win the Oscar!! “
Tom ...... Why does "Life of Pi" have a chance to win awards, and you are happier than me~?" Li Xiaole couldn't cry or laugh, touched the cheek that was kissed by Tom Cruise, and couldn't cry or laugh.
"You think he's happy for you to be like this, he's happy for him to have a chance to win an Oscar in the future." Lei Ting couldn't help but be speechless next to him, and Tom Cruise, who was seen to have intentions, pouted helplessly, and laughed at himself with grievances: "Lei~~Don't say it~~" caused everyone to laugh, and the depressing atmosphere just now was swept away~~ Everyone felt refreshed~!
"Okay, don't make any noise, even if you can strike successfully, it doesn't mean that you can win any Oscars, but the competitive environment is relatively fair, hurry up and announce the news to the screenwriters union and express your position." Lei Ting calmly reminded everyone.
"Yes~~Yes~~, contact the Writers Guild." Tom Cruise eagerly patted Li Xiaole's shoulder and said.
"Well, it's time to act, but we're going to change it." Li Xiaole turned his head and said very calmly: "Sister Xiaolei, you now contact Neil Purvis (one of the managers of the screenwriter republic, the main screenwriter of the 007 series. Tell and prove that I am H, and say that I am willing to come forward to support this strike of the Writers Guild, not just me, but the entire Black Pearl Company to support them......
All scripts signed with Black Pearl will have their income increased from 3% to 5% as they require, and the flat subsidy capped at $800 for the first two years will be increased to $1,200......"
"You want to receive a script from the Writers Guild?" Wagner frowned slightly when he listened, and agreeing to this condition was tantamount to giving up a large part of his interests.
"Of course, don't you believe my vision for picking scripts? Or do you think I'm going to make a mistake and lose money? Li Xiaole blinked.
Wagner was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head, joking...... "God of Screenwriters" and "Movie Jesus" are combined, personally selecting the script, even if this little bit of interest is conceded, it is absolutely not at any risk, in fact, in most cases, the management has earned more than 80% of the benefits of the film itself, and the remaining fees for screenwriters, actors, and directors are minimal, after all, not every screenwriter and actor is qualified to fight for good treatment.
But this is not over, what really surprised Wagner was what Li Xiaole said next, just see Li Xiaole's sudden expression, pointing at Lei Ting and saying:
"Sister Xiaolei, after contacting the Screenwriters Guild, you immediately made an announcement on the official website of the Screenwriters Republic and our Black Pearl Company to officially announce this matter, and then contacted the Actors' Union, the Director's Union, and the Producers Union...... These three major trade unions sent an official email to them~
Tell them that as long as they are willing to fight for their own interests and the six major strikes, we will accept the reasonable demands put forward by Black Pearl, and Black Pearl welcomes them to come to our company to produce films, and is also willing to distribute their films and TV series with the same attitude towards the works of their peers as they treat the films of their own companies. ”
As soon as Li Xiaole said this, everyone couldn't help but boil after a short period of stunned, and they all understood that their boss not only wanted to make a big fuss in the screenwriters' union, but also to unite all Hollywood labor unions to fight against the big leagues and fight for the benefits they had long deserved.
They not only want to support the screenwriters' union, but also to win the hearts of Hollywood actors, directors, and producers~~~~
If Black Pearl could not have done this a year ago, how could they have declared their "support" for the major unions? The Big Six monopolized the operation of film and television, and DVD rental stores, and their small Black Pearl Company couldn't do anything at all~~
And now ~~ the situation is completely different, now Black Pearl is not only a production factory, but more importantly, it has established its own independent distribution and publicity channels, they can let the producers, directors, and actors in the union form their own teams to produce film and television works, the series can be broadcast on pirate TV, and the film can be distributed by the Century Cinema Alliance~!
Although it seems that these two channels are relatively weak, "The Walking Dead" has achieved 15 million viewers, and broke the box office record of "Titanic" for ten years with thousands of screens, who still doubts the strength of Black Pearl now~?
