Chapter 753 Scene 753 A Man's Promise

On the second day, the three major unions announced the end of the strike almost at the same time, causing the whole of Hollywood to rejoice, and the disaster that had brought the entire American film and television industry to the brink of extinction was finally over, and the three major unions all got the results they expected.

Although all the media did not report in detail because this matter was too sensitive, but only mentioned this incident a little with the title of "The strike is over, Hollywood is back on track", and ordinary people did not have much reaction after reading it, but in the industry, Li Xiaole's negotiation with Todd Hardy is considered to be the most important agreement reached between labor and management in Hollywood history.

Yes~! The spring of small production companies is coming, and the opening of theaters has relieved those producers who are snorting under the Big Six, and they feel that the heavy dark clouds pressing on their heads have finally disappeared~~ Everyone has rekindled a new enthusiasm for the next work~!

From today onwards, Hollywood is back to the previous goldmine era~~! As long as you are talented and capable~~! The cinema chain will open its doors to you, although the Big Six still have this unshakable advantage, but the improvement of the freedom and openness of the general environment is really not a star.

In the past few days, Li Xiaole's prestige in Hollywood has reached its highest point, and he has just won the Oscar for Best Director, and he has fought for such interests for the three major unions, and in the minds of American filmmakers, the status of the 26-year-old Chinese director has risen sharply.

The West Bund Directors and Screenwriters Guild both wanted to invite Li Xiaole to be the vice chairman of the union to handle daily affairs, but Li Xiaole refused, no one expected that at the peak of his career, the big director would really go back to China? To continue to develop his film career in China.

And in the past few days, Li Xiaole did not announce anything in Black Pearl United States with great fanfare, but just let Wagner and Lei Ting silently handle the handover project, during this time they can already officially acquire MGM, Cork and Canon have no room for resistance at all, but Li Xiaole is not in a hurry to do so, he promised Todd Hardy not to blame for the previous things.

Lei Ting felt a little puzzled by this, frowned and asked him suspiciously: "We should buy MGM now, we have the upper hand at the moment, why don't we take the opportunity to get rid of this bastard?" There is no legal basis for the so-called verbal promise. "After all, it's really unpleasant to be paid dividends at the end of the year by their two bastards.

"No, an agreement is an agreement." Li Xiaole refused righteously.

"It's not like your style." Lei Ting looked at him strangely and said.

"I'm a union representative, so I have to lead by example." Li Xiaole said very righteously, of course he can't buy MGM now...... Although Todd Hardy and those Wall Street elites are struggling to support Wall Street, but in the end this financial turmoil is inevitable, the United States owes too much debt to the world, and those who just take advantage and do not pay will always have a bad day, wait...... By October, Cork would cry and beg him to buy his bonds......

Of course, the inside page is not like Li Xiaole can predict the development of the future situation, and everyone still feels extremely admired for Li Xiaole's high demeanor, admires his openness, and feels extremely sorry for him to return to China.

The night before leaving, Li Xiaole invited Tom Cruise and Wagner to his villa, cooked some authentic Chinese food with Lei Ting, drank red wine, and said goodbye to them.

"Lee~~ You did a beautiful job this time, "The Avengers" is back~~ I, Iron Man, can have a job again~!" Tom Cruise held his glass and shouted excitedly, his face flushed with alcohol.

"Tom, drink less, you have to take care of your body, Li is not going to be your director, you have to use more of your own mind, and you will have to shoot "Mission Impossible 4" in the second half of the year." Although Wagner kindly reminded him, he also smiled and drank a sip of red wine, and she was in a really good mood these days.

Not only did they take back "The Avengers" this time, but they also reached a settlement with Paramount's Lei Dongshi, and the two companies will develop a new "Mission Impossible" series, which is undoubtedly great news for Tom Cruise.

"Ms. Wagner, today is special~~~ Just as you are here to accompany me, let Tom drink more~~" Li Xiaole said with a smile next to him, looking at the smiling faces of these two partners who have been working hard in the Black Pearl Company by his side, he was in a very comfortable mood, and couldn't help but raise his glass and smile:

"Tom, when I return to China in the future, Black Pearl Lianmei will be handed over to you to take care of, you have to be careful, listen to Ms. Wagner in everything, she has always been much calmer than both of us?"

"Director Li, don't make fun of me~~ What's the use of being calm?" The tall Wagner shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Three years ago, you had to tell me that we could become the third largest production company in Hollywood, and I wouldn't believe it if I was killed, only impulsive people like you and Tom~ could have the courage to make Black Pearl develop to the scale it is today." ”

"Yes, it's our time, cheers~~~~!" After Tom Cruise had a drink, he turned his head to look at Li Xiaole and said: "Li, I can't figure it out, why are you leaving now, as long as you are here, you will be the director and I will be the star~~ Whether it is "The Avengers" or "Mission Impossible 4", it is possible for us to break the record of "Youth Pi", why go back to China to make a small fuss?" ”

"Tom, you don't understand." Li Xiaole shook his head and smiled: "This is not my place after all, and American movies are not my ultimate goal, if I continue to shoot superhero movies, it will be too challenging for me personally, I will continue to surpass myself and shoot those themes that I wanted to shoot before, but couldn't shoot, I believe that our Chinese films will one day compete with "The Avengers" and "Mission Impossible 4" in the global market." ”

Saying that, Li Xiaole was also full of pride at the moment, stood up, imagined the middle scene of his dream in the future, and said with a longing for it: "In the future, it will be the era of 3D images, and our Chinese films are fifty years behind you, but on this starting line, we are not far behind Hollywood~~ You have science fiction films that travel the galaxy in the future, honest and heroic superheroes, and we ......" Li Xiaole's eyes suddenly flashed with incomparable brilliance, and the wine came up, so he jumped up, picked up the folding fan on the table as an ornament, and used the fan as a sword, Dancing lightly~~ While dancing the "sword", he sang heroically:

"We have our eternal pride, the fairy wind is mighty~~~~ Qin heart sword courage, poetry **** ~~~~~"

China has its own culture, its own place that fascinates the whole world, and China has a much grander and more real background than the Middle-earth world in "The Lord of the Rings".

Tom Cruise and Wagner couldn't help applauding when they watched Li Xiaole's dancing fan move chic and graceful, but at the same time they wondered what the director was suddenly muttering with his Chinese......

It wasn't until Lei Ting next to her laboriously translated for a long time that the two barely understood, watching Li Xiaole's wonderful action performance after drinking, Tom Cruise cheered loudly, but said with a smile:

"Hey, Lee, you're not kidding, do you really think 3D movies are the future? Many people have been saying this for decades, and no one has really made a good 3D movie, it's just a gimmick, and more importantly, there are very few 3D screens in theaters now, even if you are lucky enough to shoot the most 3D and release it is still flat, what's the point? ”

"I'm going to let people realize the value of 3D movies." Li Xiaole turned his head and said as a matter of course, he still has two years, during which he can do a lot of preparation, James Cameron's "Avatar" took twelve years to reach that unprecedented visual level, although he does not have to start from scratch like Cameron, but it is absolutely impossible to shoot a perfect work in a short period of time, he still needs to accumulate experience, and at the same time let the 3D market accelerate its maturity.

"Tom~~ Black Pearl United States will be handed over to you to operate independently in the future, if we meet in the film market in the future, you better avoid me." Li Xiaole spun the folding fan in the air like Chu Liuxiang, put it away with a "snap", and threw it back on the table in a chic manner.

"You're asking my Iron Man to avoid you?" Tom Cruise was stunned for a moment, and then saw Li Xiaole's extremely serious eyes, and couldn't help but laugh and said: "I advise you to avoid me, I won't let your Chinese movie go when the time comes~~"

After speaking, Li Xiaole and Tom Cruise glanced at each other, and they both laughed heartily, and they didn't know how long Lu Dao hadn't laughed so presumptuously.

On this night, the two drank I don't know how much, laughing, crying, and making trouble, and the emotions accumulated during this time were vented out one by one, one of them was a Hollywood superstar who started as a small actor in the United States and went through several twists and turns, and the other was a world-class director who has gone through countless failures and relived his life......

Although they have different nationalities and different experiences, they all have the same burning dreams in their hearts, they all want to shoot the best works, and present the most beautiful and precious emotions in their hearts to the world. The box office, the awards, are all added to this intoxicating and wonderful process, and what they like is to make the dream itself... That's what they want.

Lei Ting and Wagner watched the two big men hugging each other, sometimes laughing, sometimes making big speeches, sometimes crying bitterly, and both shook their heads unconsciously and sighed, the man ...... What a strange creature.
