Chapter 171: Wrong Fury
After the announcement of the announcement that Billy Hill would co-invest with DreamWorks in the film "The Great Heist", it caused an uproar in the media. At the press conference that was held, the news made almost all the media excited!
"Spielberg vs James Cameron!!" This was the front-page headline of the day's "Today Rì America"!
From the perspective of pure acting identity, there is no doubt that James Cameron is the only director in the United States who can be compared with Spielberg. Of course, super directors such as Peter Jackson (who directed the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "King Kong", etc.) have suddenly risen in recent years, and gradually have the qualifications to call the board, but they are still a little worse in terms of qualifications.
Countless people are wondering if Spielberg will be able to take the position of executive producer of this film, which already has a super luxurious lineup...... This is, of course, with a kind of schadenfreude speculation.
Because everyone knows that in Hollywood, James Cameron has always been a little unhappy with Spielberg and regards him as the biggest opponent. At the Oscars that year, James Cameron swept the Oscars because of "Titanic", and finally he stood on the stage with a little golden man and shouted "I am the king of the world"! is clearly calling out Spielberg, the real No. 1 boss in Hollywood.
Plus when James Cameron was directing the movie, that kind of work was blind, absolutely self-serving, and authoritarian (of course. He is indeed a genius! )β¦β¦ made him and the partners and investors of every previous film tear their faces in the end! Otherwise, he would not have earned the nickname "Tyrant".
Such a person, let him cooperate with a big guy like Spielberg, if there is a disagreement at work...... That's a lot of fun! It was definitely like Mars hitting the Earth and exploding!
There is no doubt that Spielberg's DreamWorks is on board. This movie, which has already gathered countless eyeballs for this reason, has once again been added to the flames with a handful of dry wood!
Sure enough, Spielberg and I attended the press conference together, and James Cameron also attended, accompanied by Lei Xiaohu and several starring big-name stars! With such a luxurious lineup, almost all the front pages of the major media in the United States were occupied by us that day! Because among these people in attendance, there are at least four Oscar winners, and more than half of them have been nominated for Oscars!
"DreamWorks will be one of the investors in this film." I announced at a press conference: "At the same time, Stephen will also be the producer of the film. β
Too brief an announcement. Immediately made the media dissatisfied.
"Chen, say a few more words!"
"Chen, is this a decision that you have made internally?"
"Chen. Are there any objections? β
And more reporters are very clever to aim their camera lenses at James Cameron! As long as James Cameron once reveals any discontent of the gods? Hehe, then tomorrow's newspaper will have something to say!
And, with Spielberg on board, wouldn't that be the best alternative? Everybody knows when every movie is made. James Cameron will fall out with the owner of the film company...... And this movie, once James Cameron falls out with the film company, the film company may fire him directly! And then immediately there will be a "god" like Spielberg in the line of fire to take over the director's position!
β¦β¦
But. Disappointed everyone. James Cameron not only did not have any unhappy expression on his face, on the contrary, he also had a little smile...... That satisfied smile in his eyes was real! Instead of pretending to be out of force! This makes the media even more suspicious.
Spielberg then gave a brief speech...... The big guy deserves to be the big guy, his voice is very soft, and his voice is not loud, but as soon as he speaks, the hundreds of media in the audience immediately quieted down, no one dared to make a noise, and no one dared to interrupt him!
This. It's status!
Spielberg's speech is very unnutritious, it is completely clichΓ©, what "thank you to Billy Hill", "Director Cameron is a great director, it is my honor to work with him" and so on......
After he finished, we announced that all the computer effects for the film would be made by DreamWorks......
This is also very exciting news!
Because DreamWorks' previous computer special effects have amazed the world countless times! Whether it is the pure cartoon "Shrek" or the "Transformers" that has made countless fans enthusiastic! There is no doubt that DreamWorks' technology is world-class!
The press conference was brief, James Cameron never spoke, and he always had a smile on his face.
What calmed down this hot-tempered guy was a few words that persuaded him when I visited him overnight last night.
Of course, I know the truth that "one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers"! Putting together two super-famous directors and two geniuses who are used to saying the same thing is definitely a disaster! It can only cause infighting! Moreover, the relationship between the two may not be harmonious. But I persuaded this "tyrant" to obediently cooperate last night.
First of all, I made it clear to him that Spielberg's joining was purely for me to "solve the problem". Although he is a nominal producer, he will not make any moves towards the filming of the film, purely under the pseudonym.
Then, I made a promise to James Cameron...... He will have the "final editing rights" of this film!
"Final Editing Rights"! It's something that any Hollywood film director dreams of! You must know that under the Hollywood film shooting system, the director himself has no right to edit the final movie shot by the director! All the editing is done by the film company to a specialized company.
The problem is, every director wants his film to retain its own complete style!
It's like when you give birth to a child, of course you want the child to be the way you gave birth, but at this time, someone forcibly takes your child away. Dress up and wrap your child...... Even a facelift!
If it were you, would you be happy?
However, this system in Hollywood is iron-clad! Countless top first-class directors are helpless! Including the likes of James Cameron. Peter Jackson and other great directors who are extremely awesome, in the end, they all have to obediently watch the films they directed, and they were edited by others one by one into a completely contrary to their own will!
Of course, in the whole United States, there is only one director who has the final editing rights! You can edit your own movies however you want!
This person is Spielberg!
Whether it's as a director, or whether it's Spielberg as his lifelong goal...... From these two points, James Cameron really wants to get this "final editing right"!
I gave him what he wanted, and then asked for just "business as usual." You continue your work as a director, and no one will dictate your work! That's all! β
Old Cameron almost woke up laughing from a dream!
That's why Cameron looked like a good baby at the press conference.
(Author's note: The right to edit the final cut is indeed a thing in Hollywood that makes all directors hold grudges.) For example, John Woo, who went to Hollywood from Hong Kong to develop his career, has a strong personal style in his Hong Kong films such as the hero Ben Sè. Because the editing power is in his hands! But when he went to Hollywood, his work was lost all at once! It's because of the movies he shoots, and he doesn't have the right to edit them! As a result, it was edited beyond recognition by Hollywood people?? The number of words in parentheses is not charged).
Immediately after the high-profile arrival of DreamWorks, I announced that the film was back in production, and those who temporarily quit. Or those who find excuses to leave the crew are all fired by me mercilessly! At the same time, I also unabashedly reported the fact that the props were stolen and exchanged, but I asked Louis JΗng to help me keep it a secret. Investigate covertly......
In fact, the investigation is just a pretense. The purpose is to deter Gauchi.
Sure enough, with the joining of Hollywood's No. 1 boss, it's different! We rehired a group of professionals to supplement the crew, changed several economic companies, and then the filming began in an orderly process......
After a week of almost calm, Yang Wei returned to Los Angeles from Las Vegas, and when she saw me, she smiled and said, "Winter Five, you are finally a little bit of a cloud now." It's like rain. Now the headache is that guy Gauci. β
I smiled and went up to give her a warm hug.
After picking her up from the airport and returning to her accommodation, as soon as the two of us entered the door, Yang Wei closed the door hook with one foot, and at the same time threw herself on me, and the two immediately kissed passionately.
I haven't seen each other for more than ten days, and both of us are venting our inner passions to the fullest, but Yang Wei is still measured, seeing that the emotions of both of them have reached the peak, and if they continue, I am afraid that they will inevitably cross the line, so she finally gently put her arms on her chest, separated a little distance from me, and gasped: "Okay...... I have something to say to you. β
"Nope." I shook my head stubbornly and deliberately said, "There's nothing more important than kissing you now." β
Yang chuckled, kissed me on the cheek quickly, and then dodged away from my embrace. I put down my arm in frustration and said helplessly, "Okay, what the hell is going on." β
I was really upset, Yang Wei was also a little guilty, came over and hugged my arm and pulled me to sit down: "Okay, dear, I really have something to tell you??" About the mafia! β
That's when I collected my thoughts and got serious.
Gauci hasn't made any more moves lately, although of course it's because of Spielberg's presence that has deterred him (a Spielberg may not be able to make Gauge afraid, but the Jewish group behind Spielberg is a terrifying existence!!). But I wouldn't be naΓ―ve enough to think that Gauci would do that!
When I think of such a great enemy in the dark, I am watching me all the time...... This feeling, of course, is very bad.
Yang Wei stood up, took a bottle of RΓ©my Martin and two goblets from the wine cabinet and put them in front of us, and poured two glasses of wine. handed me a cup first, and then she said slowly: "This time I went back to Las Vegas, I first gave my uncle a share of the profits from this year's smuggling, and then I participated in a regular meeting in the family. Regular meetings. That brother of mine has said a lot of bad things about me...... Alas, but that doesn't matter. My uncle was a smart man after all, and although he favored his son, he would not be ambiguous about the interests of the family. After the meeting, I had a private conversation with my uncle and told him about the situation here, mainly because the Gambino family was unfriendly towards us. β
Yang Wei looked at me: "I originally wanted to say that Uncle Dong came forward...... After all, my uncle is the head of the Shamrock family, and he also has some connections with several mafia families. If my uncle can act as an intermediary, maybe he can reconcile the conflict between us and Gauci...... Chen yang. Don't look at me like that, I know it's hard to get you to bow your head, but right now we don't have the strength to fight the Gambinos. β
"But the Gambino family is trying to get rid of us. This contradiction is irreconcilable. Unless we're rolling up and walking away now. "I'm straight to the point.
"It's the ground." Yang Wei nodded: "But in the long run, there is no contradiction to us." We don't plan to put down roots in Hollywood either! After filming this film, do we plan to continue to invest in films? After all, the birth of the current film was accompanied by that big accident! But such miracles don't happen every day! We're here. It's enough to make a lot of money! Then, it's smartest to walk the talent. And isn't that exactly what we planned to be! β
I nodded. Although I am unwilling in my heart?? But Yang Wei was telling the truth. Our purpose is to make money, not to do business.
"So, I don't think we need to fight with the Gambino family in the long run, as long as we can have an intermediary between us, and then we just need to fight for a period of time for the Gambino family to remain neutral...... When we're done with the money, we'll sell the company and leave Hollywood. Our purpose is to make money, not to fight with anyone. Chen yang. You have to understand that. β
...... "I didn't speak.
I admit that Yang Wei is right. But...... The question is, what happened that night!!
That night, it can be said to be an absolute humiliation for me! It's a trampling on my self-esteem!! It's a man who can't stand that kind of insult! And what happened that night, I didn't tell anyone, including Yang Wei...... Because that scene is so embarrassing. I took a deep breath, reason still prevailing over my vindictiveness, and I said with difficulty, "Hmm...... You go on. β
"But I couldn't convince my uncle." Yang sighed slightly: "My uncle doesn't want to be involved in this matter. At the same time, he forbade me to help you in the name of my family. I helped you before, all with my own strength, and I didn't use any family power?? But this is already the limit of what my uncle can endure. β
I looked at Yang Wei's face and noticed that she didn't seem to have anything to say, so I said, "What else?" β
Yang Wei looked at me cautiously, then handed me the wine, I took it and took a sip, and then Yang Wei said in a low voice: "I said, you must not be angry." β
"Huh?" I looked at her strangely.
"I ...... I then went to find Li Wenjing. Yang sighed slightly: "The Li family has a lot of power in the upper echelons of the United States, and their family is also involved in the arms business, and has a good relationship with the Locke family, the largest arms family in the United States!" And the Lee family also has a lot to do with the Capone family of the Chicago mafia...... So ......"
Yang Wei said this, and stopped, because she had already seen that my face was ugly.
I'm really upset! Very unpleasant!!
Go to Li Wenjing for help?!
I felt an indescribable sourness and irritation deep inside me!
Li Wenjing?! Of course I know that Li Wenjing admires Yang Wei very much! There is no doubt that he is a very good and very outstanding family member! Of the people I know, of my age, I have never met anyone better and more outstanding! Family background, good education, whether it is demeanor, talent, ability, are very admirable...... And just once upon a time. I also have a lot of affection for him......
But! It's different now!!
Li Wenjing loves Yang Wei very much, and even almost married Yang Wei with Yang Jiati! If it weren't for that ridiculous "kiss" of Jojo in public......
And now, since the relationship between me and Yang Wei has been clarified, no matter what. I already regard Yang Wei as my woman! It's my confinement!!
At this time, the relationship between me and Li Wenjingdi is delicate!
To be fair: Now, the relationship between me and him has become a rival in love!
Even if we take a step back, even if there is no tearing face between the two of us...... But for any man! If your career is in a huge crisis, at this time, will you accept a man who loves your wife very much and help you?!
Bang!
I put the cup on the table heavily, and my face was ugly: "You really went to find Li Wenjing?" β
"Yes." Yang Wei took a deep breath: "This is the only way I can think of." I went to him. He was quick to accede to my request. Then he had already flown with me to Los Angeles. β
I didn't speak.
Yang Wei continued: "I...... I have already told Li Wenjing about the relationship between me and you...... Then, in order not to embarrass everyone. So Li Wenjing didn't meet with you. So he'll go to see Gauci and make an effort...... After that, he will just leave. I won't meet you. β
I'm on fire all at once!
I stood up and glared at Yang Wei: "Well, don't meet me to avoid my embarrassment...... That's your idea, right?! Ha!! I'm in big trouble. And then it's up to my rival to help me!! In order to take care of my emotions, he was very gracious and did not meet me...... Hum! You're really thoughtful! Are you worried that I'll be embarrassed to say something grateful when I'm facing him!! β
"No...... Not what you think! Yang Wei tried to grab my hand. But I threw him away.
All of a sudden, the fire in my heart was vented without warning!
I roared at Yang Wei: "It's not what I thought! How's that going!! Right! You're trying to help me! But where does this put me!!! Ha ha!! Will I still have the face to face Li Wenjing in the future? Do I still have face to speak of!! Oh, yes! What am I Chen Yang!! I'm in trouble, and I have to rely on a woman to beg my rival to help me set up!! Yang Wei! Have you ever thought about my feelings in doing this!! β
Syllable! In a fit of rage, I overturned the cups and bottles on the table with one hand, and then walked back and forth in the room a few times without looking at Yang Wei.
Yang Wei tried to say anything, but I didn't listen.
"Hammer !!" I suddenly roared out loud: "Hammer! You let me in!! β
A few seconds later, the hammer pushed open the living room door and rushed in. He held a gun in his hand and looked nervous: "Fifth brother, what's wrong?" β
My face was sceno, and my face was full of murder: "Call back to Vancouver!" I sneered word by word: "Let Ciro gather people, call all the brothers in the family who can fight, and then ...... Let everyone come to Los Angeles!! β
Yang Wei's face changed dramatically, and she shouted loudly: "Winter Five!! β
I ignored her, stared at the hammer, gritted my teeth and said, "Lao Tzu won't rely on anyone this time!" Hum...... The Gambino family? This time, Lao Tzu wants to wash Luoshanji in blood! After saying that, I glared at the hammer and shouted, "Don't go yet!" β
Yang Wei exclaimed loudly and tried to stop the hammer...... But under my anger, where did the hammer dare to listen to Yang Wei's words?
And I, looking at Yang Wei coldly, Yang Wei was obviously a little unprepared for the anger I showed, she just stared at me, gritted her teeth and said, "Winter Five!" You are crazy! You're really crazy! You know what you're doing!! When Yang Wei said this, he suddenly pointed at me and shouted: "Your face is so important!" Li Wenjing, as for making you so angry! Are you going to let everyone go crazy with you just for the sake of your ridiculous man's pride!! β
I lowered my eyelids, and my tone was extremely cold: "Yang Wei, let me tell you something!" β
I took two steps closer to her, pressed her tightly, forced her to the edge of the wall, held her palms with both hands to support the wall, and stared into her eyes: "Something, it's a man's business!" Woman, will never understand!! β
After saying this, I shook my hand and left Yang Wei, and strode up the stairs to go upstairs.
