Finally, a young fat screenwriter couldn't help it, wiping the sweat on his forehead and explaining:

"Hug ...... I'm sorry, but I'll explain that the script submitted by Lianmei is the work of the famous screenwriter H, who is a legendary screenwriter who has won the 007 last revision award three times in one year...... And his script must have been collectively edited by the screenwriter in the public state...... That's why we can't change a single word of this work............"

If Li Xiaole saw all this, he would definitely die of laughter, this script was originally the brainchild of Sony's screenwriting team of more than 15 people spent 4 years to create, and it took 3 years to revise and polish it alone, how could MGM, a crappy screenwriter, be improving.

"Those guys from the Screenwriter Republic?" Canon suddenly calmed down at the name and sat back on the couch, no wonder the screenwriting organization that caused an uproar a few years ago and is recognized as the most "screenwriter doctor" in the industry......

It seems that this Li Xiaole really came prepared, and even contacted the most authoritative screenwriting organization on the Internet.

Canon finally found that he had underestimated the quality of Li Xiaole, a Chinese as a director, and thought about it for a long time with his hand against his chin, and suddenly turned his head and asked the screenwriter who had just replied:

"Have you calculated how much investment they need for this film?"

"Well...... There are a lot of details of future scenes, a lot of buildings, high-tech machinery, and a lot of future costumes for extras, which need to be redesigned by professional designers, and the cost of mechanical models and character modeling is not low......," the fat screenwriter stammered and explained.

"Just tell me how much it costs? Idiot~! The burly Kanon stared at him like an angry tyrant and drank coldly, watching the fat screenwriter muttered a word for a long time, and turned his head to look at Sieberg, the chief project manager of the Green Light Committee: "Sieberg, you tell me." ”

"35 million...... No, at least 40 million ......," the old man in his fifties, whose hair had almost fallen out, frowned and pondered.

"Are you sure?" Canon's glasses lit up.

"I'm sure that's how this idiot's script is written." Sicanon burst out laughing.

"Hah...... This idiot, what a waste of my time" Canon was furious, waved the writers out, and looked back at Sieberg.

"With your thirty years of experience at MGM, do you think this Li Xiaole can get a pre-sale of 10 million?"

"Yes." Sicanon narrowed his puffy eyes and said, "Unless Tom Cruise is the starring role." ”

"You like your sense of humor." Cannon sneered, Tom Cruise will go to play this kind of cheap comedy? This Chinese may be a good director, but he is a commercial idiot as he thinks......

This idiot, does he think that he is still in China, which can call the wind and rain? It's Hollywood, and the Chinese are just using props here.

"Approve it, even if he lets him experience the atmosphere of the alliance for himself." Canon sneered, now he should be worried about Tom Cruise, he must let the writers below revise "The Lion's Mouth" more tedious, and not let this guy threaten his dominance over MGM.

After coming to the United States, Li Xiaole's pace of life has become more busy, things are piling up one by one, and he needs to deal with them one by one, and now he can finally take a break.

As soon as he got up in the morning, Li Xiaole made a list of contact actors and handed them over to Lei Ting, and after letting her handle the heavy task of recruiting actors, he went home, locked himself in his room alone, turned on the computer, sat comfortably on the sofa, and began to look at the ten-year development of the Black Pearl Company he had just finished writing with a pious heart.

At first, he read silently, but slowly, he couldn't help but start reading passionately: "The company shoots two movies within a year to accumulate funds, and at the same time enters the TV industry, expands funds, merges and acquisitions of Luen Mei into Black Pearl Company, so as to accumulate strength and start to develop the Marvel series ......"

Just imagining the film and television dramas he wants to shoot in the future, Li Xiaole can't help but feel that his thoughts are floating happily and softly in the air, feeling beautiful and relaxed, and he begins to imagine the future while reading.

For a while, he fantasized about how he would design the cool armor in the "Iron Man" movie in the future, and the line technology component was far better than the original, and then he was thinking about how to make the boring "Captain America" plot more exciting and humorous, and then he began to think about how to add those wonderful action elements to his own Hollywood movies shot with Chinese themes in the future.

While pondering, Li Xiaole's interest became higher and higher, and he couldn't help jumping out of bed and began to demonstrate the movements in his mind, he did a lot of different action designs, sometimes tiptoeing around in the room to play weird routines, sometimes agilely maneuvering in the narrow passage between the furniture, sometimes kicking the pillow into the air as a "demon", jumping and turning his head to do all kinds of difficult movements.

In this way, Li Xiaole had a lot of fun and unconsciously made it for more than three hours, and even forgot to eat, this is not a state of forced work, but when his own creative mood is high, a few hours will become a few minutes, the wonderful feeling of that experience, it seems that the real inspiration is constantly flashing, and the blurred picture in his heart is becoming clearer and clearer.

The time has unconsciously reached two o'clock in the afternoon, the sun slowly turns to the window, and the warm sunlight reflects colorful colors from the goldfish bowl shining on the table from the window, Li Xiaole was having fun in the room, and suddenly heard a shout.

"How can this be reasonable~!! Outrageous~!! Lei Ting entered the door with a "bang" and fell hard.

"Sister Tingting, can you close the door quietly......" Li Xiaole was startled by this loud noise, regained consciousness and looked at her.

"Can you believe it!" Lei Ting turned around and said with a gloomy face: "Ben Stiller has obviously agreed to the invitation I sent by Lianmei, but as soon as he heard that the director was Chinese, he turned around and refused, but a second-tier actor, Tom Cruise is not as arrogant as him~"

"He also refused?" Li Xiaole frowned.

"In the list you gave me, everyone refused, damn it~!" Lei Ting had a cold face, kicked the door angrily, and directly kicked the wooden door in.

"Eh~ Sister Tingting, don't hurt yourself, it's not worth it." Li Xiaole hurriedly stepped forward to help her to sit on the bed, gently rubbed her feet, and helped her massage and dissipate her breath.

Since the project was approved, he began to ask Lei Ting to convene the actors, whether he can get the more than 10 million pre-sales, to put it bluntly, it depends on the popularity of the actors, Hollywood is the star system, whether it is the pre-sale money of theaters and DVDs, or advertising sponsorship, all of them are aimed at the stars, and the relative star salary is rising.

The heroes and heroines of "Life Remote Control" in the original version, Adam Sandler and Kate Beckinsale, are both first-line stars, so they can get an investment of 70 million, and it is normal for their nobodies, to be rejected as a nobody.

Li Xiaole is very self-aware to target Hollywood's second-tier stars, seeking their cooperation, and the actor actively contacts the comedian who has not yet stepped into the ranks of the first line with "Night at the Museum", Ben Stiller, and the actress Jennifer Aniston, who Li Xiaole thinks is very good in comedy, and so on......

But when the other party heard that the producer was MGM and the director was a Chinese, they all reacted the same...... Everyone makes all sorts of excuses to refuse.

Lei Ting has contacted all the more than 50 people on Li Xiaole's list in the past few days, but she has gained a lot of supporting actors in the original version who agreed to join because of H's reputation, but the two protagonists who are the main pillars are unsettled, and the supporting roles can't be sold for pre-sale, so it's no wonder that Lei Ting is upset.

"America, I hate America!" Lei Ting touched her sore instep and said hatefully:

"When I was at work, I was looked down upon by people in the film industry as Chinese directors, and when I turned on the TV, I saw those politicians scolding China's policies all day long, going to the supermarket to relax, and being ridiculed, fuck! Don't those Chinese people know English!? The self-filled beverage machine is a specific paper cup provided by the manufacturer after payment. 4 people bring their own water cups, and they can directly take drinks without paying, and this kind of thing is done...... I thought it was a trial and was laughed at......"

Li Xiaole looked at Lei Ting who was in a state of collapse and felt very surprised, Lei Ting rarely seemed to show her anger so bluntly, and it was wrong to think about it...... It seems that she has been ignoring that she is just a 22-year-old young girl and not really a superwoman......

I think when he first came to the United States, he also had this kind of frustration, it was not simply because the Chinese in the United States were discriminated against, compared to the United States is the least discriminatory European and American countries against Chinese, but because he was angry when he saw the ignorant behavior of some Chinese in the United States, which made him feel very ashamed and ashamed as a Chinese.

Forget if others look down on themselves, can't these fucking grandchildren look down on themselves? Li Xiaole thought of this, his chest was somewhat indignant, and after taking a deep breath to ease his emotions, he pulled Lei Ting over to look at the computer and comforted: "Okay~ Sister Tingting, don't be angry, show you our company's ten years of Jihua Shule, I promise that the more I look at it, the more comfortable I am."

Lei Ting was depressed in the past, looking at the Jihua book looking forward to the future, it seemed that the mood was gradually getting better, but when I saw the impression pictures of the Jihua books in those movies, they were basically white shots, and the evil fire in my heart suddenly came up again, and I was about to get angry, but I found that there were some very oriental buildings and character drawings in the second half of the document, although the manuscript was very brief, but it was obvious that it was like the outline of demons and immortals in Chinese mythology. But the armor and magic weapons on their bodies are very modern, and the beauty of the design is completely different from the traditional style......
