Chapter 269: New Script (Part I)

Although Lin Mingyang is now worth the top richest man in the United States, he has not bought a mansion for himself, except for the more luxurious hobby of collecting supercars, his life is actually not much different from the normal American middle class. In the eyes of outsiders, expensive luxuries such as private jets and yachts don't seem to have anything to do with him, but as one of the few people who really know him, Ex never thinks that Lin Mingyang is a money-saver, because his "luxury" is difficult for ordinary people to imagine.

During this time, MGM's senior management was controversial in various meetings, both large and small. After the acquisition of Playboy Group and the former DreamWorks Animation Company, MGM and Viacom Group carried out a share swap in cooperation. Although MGM's absolute controlling stake is still in Lin Mingyang's hands, the opinions of other shareholders cannot be ignored. Arguments went on and on, and the $500 million filming budget was reduced to $300 million, which was the result of Ackes' hard work on the board.

These days, Lin Mingyang has been writing scripts behind closed doors at home, and after learning the news on the phone, he just let out a soft "oh", and his reaction was surprisingly flat, which made Exx puzzled, what he was really worried about was the investment gap of 200 million US dollars, and Lin Mingyang's character would definitely not be "good".

There were some things that Ex couldn't say clearly on the phone, and he was going to talk to Lin Mingyang. After making this request on the phone, Lin Mingyang unceremoniously listed a dense shopping list to him on the phone. He was too lazy to go out himself, and these things just happened to be bought by Ex and brought them over.

Looking at the two large shopping bags slowly stuffed with all kinds of food, Ex could fully imagine Lin Mingyang's life without leaving home. The apartment Lin Mingyang lives in now is still a gift from Ex to him on his 18th birthday, and the door lock Lin Mingyang has never changed, and Ex has a key in his hand.

When he opened the door, there was no musty smell in the air as Ex had imagined, and the room was not as messy as he thought, if it weren't for the two stuffed trash cans at the door proving that the owner of the room hadn't left the house for a long time, Ex should really wonder if there was something wrong with his previous judgment.

The answer was soon revealed, as if he heard the sound of the door, Lin Ming rushed out of the room wearing a pair of beach pants on his upper body. The scruffy stubble was densely covered on his face, and the pair of piercing eyes contrasted sharply with the vicissitudes of his face.

Seeing that it was Ex, Lin Mingyang's eyes showed an undisguised expression of disappointment, and he couldn't hold back one in his mouth, and actually muttered in a low voice, "Damn, I thought it was a pizza delivery." ”

The two were separated by most of the living room, and Ex didn't hear his complaints, but the change in the expression on Lin Mingyang's face did not escape Exx's eyes, seeing his boss's reluctance, Ex angrily threw two large bags of food on the sofa, "I came all the way to bring you food, what's wrong with not being welcome?" ”

As soon as Lin Mingyang saw what he was eating, his stomach gurgled very unhappily, he stepped forward quickly, grabbed a bag of toast and began to devour it, it was like he hadn't eaten for a few days, and even Ex couldn't stand this noodle.

"You eat slowly" He unscrewed a carton of milk and handed it to Lin Mingyang.

"If you say $500 million, you're tougher, who on the board of directors would dare to say no?" Lin Mingyang was eating what Exx brought, and at the same time complaining about Exx's not.

"The opposition in the board of directors is too loud, if it is forcibly suppressed, the entire company's management system will be chaotic..."Ex explained two sentences, and suddenly felt that there was no need to talk about this with Lin Mingyang, "It's useless to say these things now, if you want to make up for the gap of 200 million US dollars, I can go to other film companies to see if they are willing to contribute together." ”

"No need, I'll pay this money myself" Lin Mingyang said in an astonishing voice, which startled Exx.

"You're not kidding me"

Lin Mingyang looked at Ex very seriously, "Why am I joking with you?" ”

Ex's eyes widened: "Bill Gates's mansion is only more than $50 million, and you make a movie and advance $200 million yourself, I think you're crazy?" ”

Lin Mingyang stuffed the whole toast into his stomach and poured another carton of milk, his face still looking unsatisfied. "Bill Gates spent $50 million on the big house he built for himself, but now if he wants to sell that house, he will definitely not be able to sell it I am different from him, he is consumption, and I am investing, the current $200 million can bring me at least double the income in the future, from this point of view, I think you should praise me."

Ex nodded helplessly, "Even if you have a point, but if you personally come up with 200 million US dollars, don't you think this is too extravagant?" ”

"Is there one?" Lin Mingyang shrugged indifferently, "I don't think so." ”

The problem that was originally a headache for Ex was actually solved in such a way, and in addition to being dumbfounded, Ex did not forget the real purpose of his trip, the script of the new 007 film.

"I'm going to talk to you about this," Lin Mingyang chewed a sausage in his mouth, and was still busy pointing to another bag of food in his hand, "Can you hand me that jar of potato chips again?" ”

"It's all junk food, and you'd better eat less." Ex kindly reminded him, and then changed his words: "So you have already written the script?" ”

"Your concern is too insincere, isn't it?" Lin Mingyang suddenly burst out a sentence, making Ex angry enough.

didn't wait for him to have a seizure, but Lin Mingyang waved his hand, "Okay, I'm not joking with you, the script hasn't been written yet, but I've already conceived the general storyline."

Lin Mingyang swallowed all the food in his mouth, then unscrewed a bottle of fruit and drank it to the bottom, burped with satisfaction, and then began to talk.

"At the beginning of the story, our Bond is driving a luxury sports car down the road by the lake, followed by several unscrupulous cars. The two sides staged a fierce drag racing chase scene..."

It's hard to say bad about such an opening, but it doesn't give him that kind of eye-catching feeling. He didn't know who the gang was who was chasing Bond, and he wasn't prepared to really care, because he knew that they were just Bond's targets. This technique is very common in previous 007 movies, and the bad guys are always just used as foils.

"Wrong" Lin Mingyang decisively interrupted Ex's guess, "These people should be considered good people to be precise, because they are all Mrs. M's subordinates. ”

"Hunting down and killing your own people?" When he said this, Ex began to think that the story seemed to be interesting.

Lin Mingyang further explained: "Because Bond kidnapped Dr. Q and then stuffed him in the trunk of his car, the people who chased him were actually trying to rescue Dr. Q. ”

"Don't tell me Bond has defected" Ackes suddenly thought of a possibility, but even he thought it was ridiculous.

"Please don't doubt Mr. Bond's loyalty, although the agent's loyalty is often compromised at some point, he has not betrayed the organization. The reason why the British ** Intelligence Department pursued him was because he was suspected of participating in a major transnational terrorist activity, and the evidence provided by the other party was conclusive, so Mrs. M had to kill her love."

"Bond was framed?"

Lin Mingyang nodded, "That car chase scene was just a prelude, he dragged Dr. Q out of the trunk, and this plot came to an end." "Dr. Q's appearance is just the first hole that Lin Mingyang dug in the plot.

The real plot of the movie begins two weeks after Bond kidnaps Dr. Q, and the amorous Bond is in a bar in Spain with a new acquaintance

"Bond Girl is out so soon" Exx interrupted Lin Mingyang rather in surprise, "I think this one-night* role is very suitable for Eva Longoria, if you play Bond, she should be looking forward to playing this role"

Lin Mingyang was very dissatisfied with Ex's interruption: "As the president of MGM, I think your taste needs to be improved, when did you start to like watching boring soap operas like "Desperate Housewives"? ”

Ex glanced at Lin Mingyang very aggrieved, "I don't actually watch it much, but my wife likes this TV series very much..."

"So you have to watch it with her every night?" Lin Mingyang looked at Ex with sympathy: "The life of a married man is so miserable, it seems that my choice is correct"

Ex strongly recommended: "Aside from the factors of that TV series, I think Eva Longelia is really good, her sex appeal is not to be said, and it is perfect for being the object of Bond One Night*"

"You better keep it and talk to the director" Lin Mingyang didn't want to waste time with Ex on this issue, "Bond walked out of the bar with the beautiful woman he seduced, and on the way to the hotel to open a room, he had already noticed that someone was following, but he still did his own thing with the beauty**. ”

"Paralyze your opponent and lure the snake out of the hole?"

"Smart," Lin Mingyang pointed at Ex with his finger, "The group of agents who followed to the hotel rushed into the room impatiently with the beautiful woman in their hands in Bond's arms, and then quietly formed an encirclement. After hearing heavy gasps and seductive moans coming from the room, they burst through the door. ”

The beautiful woman Bond had brought with her was lying on the bed in the bedroom with an extremely sultry pose, as if she had known that she would rush into such a group of vicious uninvited guests, and there was no trace of worry in her expression. In fact, Bond didn't do that with her, and the previous misleading noises were all from a disc being broadcast in the living room. The agents who arrived on order searched the entire room, but found no trace of Bond. He just disappeared from everyone's eyes. ”
