"Just tell me he doesn't want to work with MGM!" Early in the morning, Brooksheimer slapped the table in the office with a blue face, and what could make him so angry was naturally Lin Mingyang's "unreasonable requests".

"Felix's temper, you should know it very well!" Ex sat there helplessly.

"Change the script, change the actors, who does he think he is?" Brooksheimer's voice rose a few more decibels in exasperation, "Tom Hanks or Al Pacino?" ”

"Neither!" Ex shook his head sensibly, "But it's useless for you to yell at me now, compared to the big stars you said, he's just a nobody, but as long as he doesn't agree, then don't think about taking back any of the $500,000 you invested in the last film." On this issue, you and I have nothing to do with him. ”

Although he put down his words at the beginning, if Lin Mingyang smashed the film, he would rather not invest the 500,000 yuan, but the current situation is that Lin Mingyang has succeeded, he made a very good movie, and the 500,000 invested by Brooksheimer not only means the income from the film copyright, but also the dividends after the release of the film, this amount is not just 500,000.

According to the opportunity cost explanation in economic theory, if Brooksheimer gives up at this time, then what he loses is not the $500,000 invested, but the possible benefits of the $500,000 invested.

Ex's words made Brooksheimer completely calm down, and he was dejected to find that he really didn't have any way to take Lin Mingyang, a "nobody". With the best-selling novel "Twilight" as a "cash cow", Lin Mingyang is not short of money now, and he will not be short of money in the future.

It is not possible to restrain the other party financially, and it is difficult to work in other ways. If Lin Mingyang is just a simple actor, then Brooksheimer may be able to use his status as a gold medal producer in Hollywood to suppress him, but this kid is so lucky, first Kenny Ortega, the director of "Youth Musical", favored him and made him an instant hit; Then Brooksheimer himself recruited him into "Pirates of the Caribbean", and the success of the film almost established Lin Mingyang's status among the new generation of Hollywood movie stars. Don't talk about suppression now, Brooksheimer even dared to say that he kicked Lin Mingyang out of the door with his front foot, and someone would come to him with more favorable conditions on his back foot.

What's more, Lin Mingyang is not just an actor, he is an outstanding screenwriter, and even has the potential to become an excellent director. Not to mention that he still holds such a trump card as "Twilight" in his hand. With "Harry Potter" as a lesson from the past, major film companies are eyeing the film rights of this best-selling novel.

After thinking about it, Brooksheimer could only return to reality in the end, either giving up the proceeds of the film "Cinderella's Glass Phone", or accepting the conditions proposed by Lin Mingyang.

"He asked to change the script, which I can accept, after all, his screenwriting level is obvious to all." Brooksheimer sat slumped in his chair like a deflated ball, "But why did he propose to change the heroine, this request is really too much." There is no reason what, how do I go about talking to MGM? ”

"This is a bit of a special situation." The apparent change in Brooksheimer's attitude is good news for Ekers, who will be in charge of the negotiations from now on. Felix would have thought that, and I can actually understand that. You also know that last time "Cinderella's Glass Phone" had a lot of trouble choosing the heroine, if you hadn't helped recommend Kate, I really don't know what would have happened. ”

"How does this have to do with Cinderella's Glass Phone again?" Brooksheimer was really puzzled.

"In fact, at the very beginning, Felix's most optimistic heroine was Hilary Duff, but the other party rejected him directly, after all, no matter how good Felix is, he is still just a sixteen-year-old child, and it is inevitable that he will have some thoughts about Hilary Duff in his heart." When Ex said that Lin Mingyang was a child, he had already despised himself in his heart. The ghost believes that Lin Mingyang will be angry with an unknown actress for such a little thing, but his age is there, this reason sounds extremely lame, but it makes people have to believe it.

"I see." Brooksheimer could only accept this lame reason at this time, "I tried to negotiate with MGM, but I was not sure of success." ”

"What if you count that too?" As if by magic, Ex took out a script from his bag, "This is a new script he has already written!" ”

Brooksheimer looked at the script that suddenly appeared, but he didn't rush to open it, but looked at Ex with a suspicious expression, "You guys expected me to accept it, right?" ”

"Not really!" Ex found that his ability to lie now had reached the point of perfection, and he basically did not blush and his heart did not beat. "Felix just said that you should support his idea after reading the script, but I haven't had a chance to show it just now."

Only the last sentence of Ex said the truth, but in fact, before he came, Lin Mingyang had already analyzed to him what kind of reaction Brooksheimer would have, and asserted that he must be the one who finally compromised. In Lin Mingyang's words, "When borrowing money, the creditor is Lao Tzu; When the money is repaid, the creditor is the grandson. ”

Brooksheimer opened the script in disbelief, but was quickly attracted to the contents. The protagonists of the story, John and Jane, are siblings in a reorganized family, who are not related by blood, but live under the same roof because of the union of their parents. John is 5 years younger than Jane, and it stands to reason that there is no age gap between them, but the two are naturally like enemies, and since they first met, the "war" between the two has begun.

The contradiction between the two is a headache for the parents, they chose to get married, in order to create a complete family for the children, although they worked hard to do a good job as parents, but in the end they could not get the approval of the children. And the hatred and contradiction between the two children have added a lot of dangerous rifts to the family.

The helpless parents found a psychiatrist for the two, trying to alleviate the conflict between the two through psychological counseling. In a conversation with a psychiatrist, the sister and brother recalled the scene of their first encounter together, and sarcastically sarcastic to each other, but the psychiatrist's enlightenment did not achieve the expected effect, and finally the two broke up unhappily.

Soon, though, John and Jane began to notice that something had changed in themselves. The two of them are unexpectedly attacked by killers, and both of them are thrillingly saved from danger, it turns out that the two of them never know each other's true identities - the two siblings are both legendary killers, well-trained and skilled in killing, and the key is that they also carry out missions for two rival organizations.

John has been a computer master since he was a child, and his IQ is as high as 200, because of the breakdown of his family and the lack of parental guidance, he became a super hacker at a very young age, attacking and destroying websites for fun. During a hack, he stumbled upon his organization's website and easily breached its core protection system. But when he found out about all this, he didn't panic, but was interested in the organization. Originally, he was able to withdraw without leaving any clues, but he deliberately left his tail and let the other party find him. With his extreme intelligence, he devised a trap to play the killers sent by the other party.

John's amazing qualities were highly valued by the organization, who recruited him into the organization and then trained him to become a top killer. John's code name is "G", which is the first letter of God in English, which means omnipotent. With his superb IQ and strong shooting ability, John quickly became the top presence in the killer world.

Jane's situation is different, she was chosen by the organization because of her outstanding appearance, she is good at hand-to-hand combat, because she mainly approaches her targets through beauty, and loves black clothing, so she is known as "Black Widow", specializing in dealing with targets who are heavily guarded by external security and difficult to snipe from a distance.

John and Jane are both killers, but their surnames are very different, and their areas of expertise are also different. The two have only one thing in common, and that is that they both maintain a legendary record of zero mission failures.

While their parents are away on vacation, the two receive an assassination mission with the same goal, but each other's appearance is their own plan, and in the end, both of them fail. In the process of tracking down the culprit of sabotage their actions, the siblings gradually began to suspect each other. It wasn't until the elder sister unintentionally exposed her agile skills to her fellow expert killer brother during dinner that the two-storey villa where the sister and brother had lived together for seven years immediately became a murder battlefield.

Although the two do not admit each other's family affection, deep down they have become accustomed to treating each other as their relatives, and their abilities are equal, neither of them can kill each other, and in the end both of them chose to lay down their arms.

Just when there was hope for reconciliation in their relationship, their respective organizations gave them a new task, and they became each other's targets. The pride and work ethic of the two escalated the assassination attempts, but neither could subdue anyone. Just when the situation was at a stalemate, the parents of the two who were traveling suddenly disappeared unexpectedly. They were told that if they didn't kill each other within 24 hours, their parents would be killed.

John used the backdoor program he left on the organization's internal computer to find out the truth of the matter, and the two organizations believed that the kinship between the two would be detrimental to the two organizations, so the two sides jointly planned the mission, hoping that the two would kill each other. No matter who kills whom in the end, the other will also be sniped by the two organizations, and the parents of the two are nothing more than "bait" to stimulate them to kill each other.

Knowing the truth, the two siblings decided to join forces, combining each other's strengths, John developed a rescue plan, and finally succeeded in rescuing his parents, and the two also felt the value of family affection in their cooperation with each other.

This story was born from another story in Lin Mingyang's memory, deleting some plots that stimulate the secretion of alien hormones, although this story has lost its original fragrant and charming color, but Lin Mingyang has also added family and family factors, and the whole story is further condensed and sublimated in the theme, and it is not inferior to the original drama as a whole.

In fact, Lin Mingyang also wanted to copy the original plot, but at his current age to play the role in the film, a sentence of "not suitable for children" directly shattered all his hopes, so he had to change his thinking and start from other aspects, and finally got such a story.

Brooksheimer sighed softly as he closed the script, and Ex was puzzled and asked, "The story ends happily, why do you sigh?" ”

"I'm not for this ending, but I think it's a pity that such a script is handed over to MGM to shoot!" Brooksheimer gave Ackes a thorough analysis:

"Felix's script is like a dish, with all sorts of hot ingredients in the ingredients, including action scenes running around the world, well-made special effects and thrilling stunt scenes, plus family and family discussions throughout the play, all of which make up the success of the script. But such a plot also has a fatal flaw, that is, if the funds are insufficient, then most of the ideas in the script can only be empty talk. And without these, the whole plot loses its fresh flesh and bones, and only a lofty theme remains, without any practical value. ”

"You're worried that MGM won't be able to afford this film?" Ex understood the other party's thoughts, "Your worries, Felix has taken into account when writing the script, so this script can be discussed separately from "Cinderella's Glass Phone". ”

"Unless Lupin is desperate and puts MGM's future all on this film." Brooksheimer still thinks it's unlikely that this will happen.

"It depends on the courage and courage of our Mr. Lupin!"
