'As long as it is the truth, it will not be covered up after all', I don't know who said this sentence, but it can be spread so widely, there should be a reason. However, this sentence fell on Sun Ziming's head, half effective, half ineffective. What is effective is that the reporter finally took a photo of China Ming and Asian superactress Nina LiChi (Li Zhi) going to the hospital for a physical examination, and it was a pregnancy test; What is invalid is that no matter how Sun Ziming and his friends inquire, they only inquire about Dean and Leland? Oser is a cousin. As for why Dean? The reason for Devlin's refusal to settle out of court has never been inquired, but some reporters have boldly hypothesized that Dean refused the lucrative treatment, perhaps because he wanted to make a movie of the script himself, not just a piece of the pie.

China Ming and Nina LiChi (Li Zhi) are both realistic versions of the American dream, and the news that they are in love and suspected of being pregnant immediately became a hot topic in the entertainment industry as soon as the reporter broke the news, and was watched and talked about by countless fans and ordinary people.

If this matter is placed in Asia, it is certain that the parties concerned will either clarify or admit it, and in any case, they will make a show in the media. However, this is Hollywood, and both are moviestars.

What is MovieStar? They are the top of the entertainment industry, and they are also people who make money from movies, they usually don't go to TV, don't attend commercial events, don't shoot commercials, and spend all year round pondering his role, constantly discussing and rehearsing with directors and partners. Ordinary people want to see Moviestar, one is the gossip news dug up by reporters, and the other is to pay for the movie theater.

Therefore, although Sun Ziming and Li Zhi lived together openly in Beverly Hills, the reporter could only take a few photos, and there was not a word about the two. Even the ESPN TV reporter of the Light and Shadow Group did not interview the two parties, even at the press conference of Universal's new film "Broken Arrow", the public relations manager of the light and shadow company, Lianna, director Wu Yusen, starring Tom Cruise, Kristen Slater and others, also refused to answer on the grounds of personal privacy.

However, there is another thing that Sun Ziming cannot avoid, that is, "Independence Day" is suspected of infringing on the copyright of others.

In the end, after several negotiations between the lawyers of both parties, an out-of-court settlement could not be reached, and Douglas, in the name of Sun Ziming's personal assistant, issued a statement from the studio at the door of his estate.

"On behalf of Ming Sun Geng Film Studio, I would like to make the following clarification ...... on the alleged infringement case of "Independence Day". We acknowledge that Independence Day infringes on Mr. Dean Devlin's Alien Invasion in a legal sense, but we also believe that there is no subjective fault because Mr. Devlin's script is not registered with the Copyright Office and we have no way of knowing that he had a similar idea.

After learning of the alleged infringement, our studio immediately contacted Mr. Dean Devlin and asked for an out-of-court settlement, and also proposed to let him replace Mr. Ming Sun and get the right to sign the film's screenplay and the corresponding remuneration. To our bewilderment, Mr. Dean Devlin rejected our offer. As we all know, even according to Hollywood's regulations, Mr. Dean is unlikely to get more than that. Here, we very much regret this. ”

As soon as the reporter raised his hand, Douglas pressed his hands down and smiled: "Gentlemen, I know what you want to ask. Here, on behalf of MR. Sun announced that part of the plot of "Independence Day" will be revised and the part suspected of infringement will be deleted. It is expected that by Christmas, the re-edited "Independence Day" will be released. Everyone must believe in the strength of the three-time Golden Globe Awards and the Oscar Award for Best Screenplay. ”

When the reporter wanted to raise his hand, Douglas had already bowed slightly, turned around and entered the manor, leaving dozens of reporters carrying cameras and microphones.

At about the same time, Leland Orser was also speaking for reporters on behalf of Dean Devlin.

"......, my client also believes that this is a misunderstanding, China it is impossible to intentionally infringe, it is just a coincidental misunderstanding.

The reason why Mr. Dean Devlin rejected the settlement terms of China Ming Studio was that his ideas were almost identical to those of China Ming and had extremely high commercial value. Gentlemen, how great is China Ming's talent in choreography? How sharp is his market judgment? Why can't Mr. Dean turn his script into a movie? ”

Sun Ziming, who was sitting in front of the TV, suddenly realized when he saw this, no wonder the whole thing was weird, so many people didn't know who was behind these two guys, it turned out that there was no one at all.

Exercise! Are they really adventurous Americans, don't they know that cinema is the art of directing? Can you make a good movie with just a decent script?

Li Zhi next to her lightly slapped Sun Ziming and comforted: "Forget it, everyone admits it, it's a coincidence." ”

James Cameron next to him said gloatingly: "Ming, your luck is not good, you can collide with others if you change the script!" ”

Sun Tzu doesn't think it's a coincidence, which shows that history has inertia. It seems that Spielberg's "Broken Lock Rage" had to be returned to others last time, and the film in 'Memory' was also caused by copyright issues.

"Boss, that's what you traded for Raiders of the Lost Ark 3!"

Douglas's remark reminded Sun Ziming that he was not only a director, but also the owner of a company, and a large number of people had to eat. Spielberg's script, directed by China Ming, these two titles alone are worth hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office! What's more, most of the preparations for this movie have been completed, and filming can start at any time.

However, James Cameron is worthy of being Sun Ziming's bosom friend, and guessed half of his thoughts, "NO, NO, Ming has no time." He's got to make a movie that competes head-to-head with that Dean and stomp those two bugs to death! Doug, you don't understand this, it's about the dignity of a great director! ”

Sun Tzu Minglei has arrived, how can this be related to dignity? Strictly speaking, I did 'steal' other people's ideas. No, he's right, he just thinks it's tricked and wants to take revenge on others!

Fortunately, James also has a problem with being a good teacher, and taught Douglas: "Do you know why I had a grudge against Lucas in the first place? It's because he said that the machine I designed was a dog/. It turns out that the image of the machine qì person I designed is better than his! The most important thing for a great director is to stick to his own ideas and believe in his own wisdom, and those who insult his ideas and wisdom are his own enemies!

This Dean Devlin, although admitting that it was a coincidence, only told the reason at the end, has insulted Ming's wisdom! Ming must teach him a lesson, let those who play with cleverness, give us to be careful in the future! ”

No wonder this guy complains everywhere, it turns out that he can't listen to different opinions, especially opinions that are not to his taste, and worse than his ideas!

Well, that's fine, let Will Smith's black boy make a film for himself at a low price. Save the opportunity for his agent to have a lion open mouth after the release of "Independence Day"!

"Doug, let Roland think of a good plot first, I have to finish "Apollo XIII" first, and then revise "Independence Day". Also, go talk to Will the kid, I'm going to invest in "Men in Black", and ask him if he's interested? ”

"Yes, sir", Douglas willingly agreed, Dean Devlin's script was not as commercial as they thought, but it would definitely become a bargaining chip for someone with a heart to trade with his boss. What I have to do now is to wait, waiting for someone to take the initiative to deal with the guy who is dizzy. As for the possible losses of his own company, he may be able to recover it from Will's kid!

After Douglas finished the call, he turned around and whispered in his ear: "Boss, the new line company refuses our cooperation, or I will go to Clifton Johnson and offer a price that is enough for John Tolkien to break the contract?" ”

Sun Ziming was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what this kid meant, and nodded slightly in agreement. Instead of waiting for someone to come to the door, it is better to force someone to take the initiative to come to the door.
