--go-- "Don't you tell me you really want to cast this movie?"

As soon as she entered the room, Kate pulled up the hotel's anti-theft buckle, threw her handbag on the table, and the movement of the sofa was faster than anyone else's, and the three-inch high heels were hooked on the toes, and there was no match for a match.

"Why do you say that?" Roland, who came out of the pantry, handed the juice to the other party, then looked around again, and handed the slippers scattered on the side to the other party, "Change shoes." ”

"If you don't want to cast this movie, then it will make me reject Ang Lee directly at the dinner table."

Kate kicked her heels aside, but instead of putting them on immediately, she curled up and tucked her legs.

Many Europeans and Americans do not have the habit of going into the house to change their shoes, and because of the floor carpet, they prefer to go barefoot, just like Michael Fassbinder, when he walks with his wife in the rich area, he goes out barefoot.

But Roland, not used to it.

"I asked you not to refuse immediately, because I didn't want the atmosphere at the scene to become stiff." Seeing that there was still a vacant seat, Roland sat down, but as soon as he leaned on the sofa, Kate's folded legs suddenly straightened and rested on Roland's thighs very familiarly.

The shaking big toe seems to be showing off, but if it is combined with the lifting of the heel and the light stroke, it is passing on a little secret that only two people understand, and Roland also grabbed the instep at the right time, clenched his fist with his right hand, and pressed it on the center of his foot.

"Hmm~" The refreshing feeling made Kate squint, like a cat, and pillowed her head on the armrest of the sofa.

But even though Roland is very good, Kate still hasn't forgotten her purpose because of this, "Really? I don't believe it. ”

Kate really doesn't believe her man's words.

Or, in her eyes, Roland is a guy who can't afford to be early.

If it is unprofitable, then he will not care about the atmosphere, he will only tell the truth.

"I'll tell you, we'd better not touch the project of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon".

"It's not the project that's wrong, it's Ang Lee who has the problem."

"In this day and age, how are movies related to the Civil War made?"

"Gettysburg, which was launched on the new line in '93, shines with the brilliance of humanity throughout!"

"The Glorious Battle, released in '89, describes how during the Civil War, under the serious prejudice of racial discrimination, white officers trained blacks who escaped from the black slavery system in the South into a disciplined army!"

"It's not 1915 anymore!"

"If David Griffith's "The Birth of a Nation" is released in this era, it will only be scolded to death by public opinion!"

"The glorification of the KKK and the disparagement of blacks are not what society needs right now!"

"The present social situation is such that only people are allowed to criticize the slavery system in the South, and people are not allowed to question the condition of the workers in the North! The creator can expose the atrocities of the plundering people in the north, but at the same time must spread the meaning of emancipating the black slaves! ”

In this context, Ang Lee said that the Civil War was meaningless to ordinary people, and that was disgusting him for having a long career! Can you understand what I mean? ”

Kate thought that Roland saw that the results of "Sense and Sensibility" were too good, so she felt that the oriental version of the movie was also very interesting, so she wanted to get the money; But the problem is that in her opinion, this project, which she doesn't know how much profit it can turn into in the end, has no need to invest at all, because they are not bad for money at all!

Roland has a lot of projects in his hands, and each of them brings several times the profit of film and television, in this case, they don't need to ruin their reputation for some petty profits!

After financial freedom, cherishing feathers is the best choice!

What's more, Ang Lee is now working against mainstream public opinion!

The tone of persuasion and the knife-to-flesh rhetoric surprised Roland, who was pressing Kate's feet.

Looking at the guy with his hands around and his eyes staring at him, Roland shrugged with a smile and said, "I really just don't want the atmosphere to stiffen, don't you see that I've been eating?" If you refuse immediately, will I be able to stay up until I'm done eating? ”

"Disperse on the spot, okay?"

"Huh?" The same rhetoric made Kate frown, "You don't have to be perfunctory with me about this kind of thing, okay?" ”

"I'm seriously talking to you about the dangers of investing!"

"Ang Lee could feel that the Civil War didn't make sense, but he couldn't say it in front of the public!"

The raised voice and firm words made Roland even more helpless.

I didn't know how to reply, so I buried my head in pressing jio to my daughter-in-law.

But this silence is ignorance for Kate.

"Is that all you want to earn? Or do you want to promote the Warcraft film and television brand? ”

Kate, who wanted to continue to persuade, straightened up and pulled Jio back from Roland's grasp.

Such behavior made Roland feel even more wronged.

Because he really didn't want to invest in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"! I just want to finish my meal!

Now he's telling the truth! Why didn't anyone believe it!

That's right!

After seeing the book "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Roland had already made the decision to refuse.

As Kate thinks, in the case of investing in Apple, investing in Amazon, and holding Berkshire Hathaway stock, he doesn't need the profits of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" at all, and he can't go against public opinion for a little money.

Knowing that Ang Lee's behavior is problematic, he went to support the other party, isn't this a brain disease?

That's why he gave the initiative of the topic to the curious Kate, and he kept eating at the dinner table.

Of course, if you don't leave early, even after knowing Ang Lee's situation, you will still go to meet each other, and there is a reason for that - letting "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" go on the original historical path is also something Roland wants to see!

Why?

Because of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the previous life, it was finally voted by Sony!

In Roland's previous life, Sony Columbia Pictures Production took advantage of the fire.

Seeing that Ang Lee couldn't get investment because of improper buttocks, and was desperate to choose himself, Sony opened his mouth and asked Ang Lee to sign a gambling agreement with them.

Sony Columbia will inject money into the project, but if "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" doesn't reach six times the global box office, then Ang Lee won't get any of it.

It's a waste of work.

And even if it is reached, the share ratio between the two parties is not the same as the market price.

Although the final result was not bad, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" was a big hit in Europe and the United States, and Ang Lee won an Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, but it was the experience of being blackmailed, so for more than ten years, Ang Lee did not cooperate with Sony - "Hulk Hulk", "Brokeback Mountain" and "Lust and Caution" are all universal, "Life of Pi" is Fox's, and it was not until "Billy Lynn's Halftime Fight" that it was re-mixed with Sony Samsung Studios.

And that's just touching each other.

Of course, witnessing Ang Lee being pitted by Sony again is not Roland's true intention.

What he really wants to see is that Sony doesn't have a right ass too!

When everyone was vaguely 'banning' Ang Lee because of the stance shown in the movie "Riding with the Devil", Sony sent charcoal in the snow, turned into an angel, and voted for Ang Lee's project?

Isn't this just looking for death?

If it's just an investment, the other ones who are disgusted may only turn a blind eye, but what if it is paired with the "Black Hawk Down" gift package? Then Sony can only sit directly on wax!

A "Black Hawk Down" may be defined as an accident, but with "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", ......

Who would believe that Sony is innocent?

One and two?

Would you rather be here to memorize the Tao Te Ching?

Two in one life, two in three, three in everything?

What's more, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will also be released before "Black Hawk Down"!

So after the review, Sony in the eyes of the public, that is, Ang Lee, who first accepted the meaninglessness of the Civil War, helped him shoot "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"! Then came Black Hawk Down, and it did something during the 'September 11 attacks' period!

In this case, even if Sony is full of mouths, it can't be explained!

Sony: 'I really didn't violate international law, I really didn't interfere in the internal affairs of other countries!' ’

Sony: 'Ah Sir, I was really wronged! ’

CIA: 'Do you think we, the people's police, will believe your nonsense?' ’

CIA: 'Twice every two years, are you blind to us?' ’

If you want to kill others, you have to do it.

If you don't have a case record, then make a case record! If you don't have a criminal record, then make an antecedent!

The causes, the results, all are arranged for you!

We don't just kill, we bury it!

With such an idea, Roland will naturally not inject money into "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", not only that, but he will also find a way to make things go on the established track, so that Sony can eat the project safely.

But he couldn't tell Katemin about all this.

So after seeing that his woman really didn't want to jump into the pit, Roland also showed a little helplessness on his face when he accepted the warm concern, "Okay, I really can't hide it from you......"

Hearing Roland say this, Kate, who was holding her legs, wanted to raise her hand to hit her man.

But when the slap fell, she retracted it with regret, clenched her five fingers, and pulled it on Roland's arm.

"What are you trying to hide from me?" Kate frowned and glared at Roland, "You really want to vote, don't you?" ”

"After we watched "City of Angels" earlier, didn't you have a deep understanding of the situation of black people in Hollywood?"

"Why did you forget all this when you see Ang Lee now?"

"Tell me why you want to vote? If only it was for the money—"

"Then you can sleep on the sofa for me in the future!"

The harsh words made Roland's head a little big, and he looked at his really angry daughter-in-law, and raised his hand to hold the other party in his arms.

But alas, Kate didn't give him this chance, and as soon as Roland's hand reached out, she opened her mouth and bit hard.

"Alright! I say! I said no, yet? ”

In this situation, Roland, who didn't want to deceive, made up a bunch of arguments, "I understand the seriousness of the matter, and I also know that I can't invest in Ang Lee because of reason, but for the sake of working with him many times, I also want to help him." ”

"You look at his state tonight, he actually regrets it."

"He knew that he shouldn't have been involved in this matter, but unfortunately, there was no regret in the world."

"And I don't think it's something Ang Lee can do alone to expose the idea that the Civil War is meaningless! Unlike Steven and James, Ang Lee doesn't have the final editing rights! ”

"The final effect of the movie is determined by the distributor!"

"In this case, can't the phrase 'the Civil War make no sense' be cut?"

"Or maybe the filmmakers didn't know to ask Ang Lee to reshoot the scene?"

"The film has just been filmed, and Ang Lee already knows the results, and the Big Six will not invest in him, what does this mean? This shows that some people want to test the market's reaction, but they don't want to come forward in person! ”

"So Ang Lee was pushed out to take the blame!"

"Although this does not prove that Ang Lee is innocent, it will not be the source of his direct ban."

That's right!

Although even Ang Lee himself admits that "Riding with the Devil" is a very complex movie, and he may not have handled it well, Roland does not believe that he insisted on conveying those thoughts!

Or, many of Hollywood's movies with sensitive themes are not made by the American director!

"Black Hawk Down", directed by Ridley Scott, is British.

"The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Miracle of the Green Mile", directed by Frank Delabant, is French.

"The Shape of Water", directed by Guillermo Toro is Mexican.

"12 Years a Slave", directed by Steve McQueen, is British.

And "The Wind Whisperer"......

Needless to say.

Although Hollywood frequently produces controversial films, the vast majority of these films have nothing to do with the directors of America!

And many of the controversial movies that were put on the screen by American directors are actually topics that have already been closed!

This is actually very easy to understand, let outsiders eat crabs first, if the market feedback is fine, then their own people will follow, but if there is a problem, then I am sorry, I can only grieve you foreigners to return to China first to avoid the limelight......

Is Hollywood's capital all stupid?

How can people not know which sensitive topics cannot be filmed?

But even if they knew, they would try it again and again!

This is not a frantic temptation on the verge of death!

Instead, I want to start from the actual data and figure out which topics are the most sensitive! And which elements can be manipulated!

It is precisely because of the temptation again and again that a series of contradictions such as racial issues, feminist issues, religious issues, and political issues have been screened out, and under this kind of manipulation, a chaotic situation has emerged.

After all, what these people's bosses want is to profit from chaos, if there is no chaos and peace, then what resources are they fighting for? And if they fall in chaos, it will undoubtedly be even worse for them who are already ruined in the country!

Therefore, whenever a controversial movie appears, after public opinion scolds the director one-sidedly, Roland simply ignores it.

Director garbage?

This is a producer-centric Hollywood!

There are only a few dads who have the right to make the final edit!

Where do these directors get the right to let the management who controls the distribution channels obey their orders?

Aren't you funny!

"That's why you want to help Ang Lee?" After hearing Roland say this, Kate frowned.

Although she admits that Roland was right, but—

"Whether it's a traditional temptation or not, there's no need for us to get involved."

Kate only beat Roland when she was unreasonable or Roland was unreasonable, and when both parties could communicate normally, her tone was still very serious, "After all, participating in this matter will do more harm than good for us." ”

"Although my words may be a little impersonal, ......"

"My future name could only be Kate Winslet Allen, not Kate Winslet Lee."

Okay......

Looking at the serious and worried face, Roland raised his hand and put his arms on the other's shoulders.

"Don't worry, I said I wouldn't vote, I just wouldn't vote."

"Didn't Ang Lee say it before? Sony didn't immediately refuse him, so ......"

"I think the Japanese company still has an idea."

"So, I wanted to drag on this matter for a while, and then turn around and tell Ang Lee that many people think this movie is very good, but unfortunately only non-American capital can invest."

"Not only that, but if that non-American capital can make the movie release in America, there is still something to do."

"Isn't it Colombia (Asia) that is not the capital of America, but the company that can make the film show in America? That's what I've helped him the most, and whether he can succeed or not......"

"Then it's up to them."

Since it was for Sony, Roland didn't want an accident in this matter.

Even if Roland knows that after his refusal, Ang Lee will definitely look for another investment and find Sony, but all this, how can there be insurance hinted by Roland himself?

As the owner of 25% of the shares of Sony, Amperin and Warcraft Film and Television Co., Ltd., Roland believes that as long as he tells Ang Lee that his peers think the script is good, then he will definitely continue to work on it, and after he tells Ang Lee that the film can only be released back to America to maximize the benefits......

The target in Ang Lee's eyes will only be Sony.

As a company that has set up an office in Beijing in '95, Sony Columbia is really interested in these films.

As long as the two sides grind a few more times, Roland believes that things will definitely be under his control.

And when Roland recounted his 'true' thoughts, Kate first listened carefully, then raised her forehead, then stretched her brows, slightly hooked the corners of her mouth, and finally-

Just when Roland thought that Kate would boast that she had helped Ang Lee without letting herself fall into the pit.

Kate did the opposite, and raised her hand to beat people.

"Roland! Why can't you make it clear to me at once? ”

"This is not an unspeakable topic, you just held it for a long time, I thought you really wanted to invest!"

has already told the truth and been beaten, this Roland can't bear it, in order to show his family throne, he immediately changed his aggrieved tone, and said: "Don't be unreasonable!" I told you from the beginning, I don't want to invest in this movie! ”

"Then why don't you make it clear to me?" Kate thinks it's Roland being unreasonable.

"You're wronging me!" Roland raised his voice.

Said confidently: "You didn't believe me from the beginning, okay?" You always thought I would invest! ”

"I don't believe you?"

The cold slap slapped towards Roland, "I didn't ask clearly, can't you say it consciously?" If I have to ask everything, how much are you hiding from me? ”

"How can I hide something from you?" Roland felt that this guy was a little inexplicable.

"Looks like you're hiding something from me!" Kate is like a blind monk who discovered Hua Dian.

“What？” Countless small question marks popped up in Roland's head.

"If you don't have something to hide from me, then why do you instinctively ask a rhetorical question? Only a weak-hearted guy would be like that! ”

“……”

"Did I say yes?"

“……”

"Hurry up and explain, what else are you hiding from me?"

“……”

Roland was shocked.

He was surprised by Kate's inexplicable change.

And when he saw the guy with his hands around him, his face was serious, he was forced to look at him, but he had a smile in the corner of his eye-

He immediately understood that the most important thing in the world should be to reason with women.

This is obviously the discovery of a mistake! I don't want to admit it! And I still want to hit a rake!

And for this kind of guy who doesn't know the law, Roland generally chooses to convince people directly with reason.

He bowed directly and leaned forward with his arms as if he were catching a chicken, carrying Kate on his shoulders.

"Ahh

Caught off guard, Kate let out a startled shout, instinctively grabbed Roland's clothes with both hands, and then ......

Click—the bedroom door is open.

Bang dong – the bedroom door is closed.

"Roland! Do you want to be abused? ”

The sound of urns and the sound of urns coming from inside the house.

"Don't talk nonsense! I'm teaching you that people have to learn to reason! ”

Roland doesn't fall for Kate.

"You fart!" Kate scolded, but there was a little joy in her voice.

Even so, threatening words kept coming out one after another, "I warn you! Don't mess around! ”

"Tomorrow is my birthday, if you ......"

But before Kate could say all the words that followed, her voice stopped abruptly.

A few seconds later, a cry of pain echoed through the room.

“…… Yes! ”

When the melodious voice gradually dissipated, the words full of revenge appeared in an instant.

"Roland, you're going to die tomorrow!" --over--
