“WTF！”

At the Disney headquarters building in California, the president's office, Eisner, the eighty-six-year-old president, threw a cup of coffee out.

The coffee spilled on the ground, yellow, thick and sticky, although it was fragrant, it was disgusting to look at.

Eisner looked at the creators of Pirates of the Caribbean with extreme disgust.

"You plagiarists, you ruined our reputation, you are all shit."

Not long ago, they received a protest from their partner China Film, saying that their new movie "Pirates of the Caribbean" plagiarized their script, and this matter must be explained, otherwise Disney's products will not enter China in the future.

This incident made Disney feel very confused, they didn't plagiarize.

What do you say about this?

However, they then arranged for someone to investigate, and soon found out that two years ago, a screenwriter named Lee Shengyao had indeed registered a series of movie scripts with the Copyright Office of the United States of America, and this movie was called "Pirates of the Caribbean".

Not only is the name renamed, but from the mouth of the Copyright Office, I know that this movie script is indeed exactly the same as the content of "Pirates of the Caribbean".

And they didn't just write one, they wrote several.

Disney only had a plan to shoot "Pirates of the Caribbean" at the end of last year, and it is absolutely impossible for someone to copy Disney, the only explanation is that the main creator of "Pirates of the Caribbean" on Disney's side, someone has read this script, and then secretly carried it over.

If it's a beautiful countryman, give hundreds of thousands of dollars to suppress the matter.

But he is a Chinese person, or a great Chinese director, and he has been hooked up with China Film.

Is this difficult?

Could it be that Disney movies will not enter China in the future?

Of course it can't be, although the Chinese film market has not exploded, it has huge potential, and several Hollywood movies this year have a box office of tens of millions.

"Pirates of the Caribbean" may be able to make tens of millions.

Eisner could only think on the bright side, "Quickly sign a contract with China Film, and we will buy the copyright." ”

"President, they want the box office revenue of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" series of movies in mainland China."

A senior executive trembled and followed.

“'WTF！”

Eisner was eighty-six, and he really doubted that he would fall down and not be able to sleep.

If this "Pirates of the Caribbean" performs well, it will be tens of millions of dollars in revenue, millions of dollars.

But if you lose money on your side, what can you do?

Disney is ambitious, they don't just want to make a big push into the movie market, they want to buy Marvel, they also want to make a lot of superhero movies.

Is it for the sake of a "Pirates of the Caribbean", do you lose the mainland market?

"Tell them that we can give them dividends all over the world."

If they give dividends to the whole world, they can make false accounts, and give one or two million when the time comes, which means it.

"President, if they don't want it, they want the mainland."

“WTF！”

Eisner fell, and it took a long time for him to get better, he collapsed in his chair, stretched out his fingers, and glanced at the members of the "Pirates of the Caribbean" writing crew with resentment, "Get out of Disney, you disgusting scum." ”

The screenwriters of "Pirates of the Caribbean" were aggrieved and sad, but they did not dare to refute it.

It turns out that some of them did "plagiarize".

Eisner calmed down, "Immediately arrange for someone to sign a contract with China Film, we can give them the mainland film revenue, but they want to sell us all the scripts for the next few movies, and this matter cannot be publicized." ”

"Yes."

Two days later, still at Disney's headquarters building, Eisner held the script of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in his hand and nodded with satisfaction.

These scripts are well written, fantastical and full of suspense, and the story is fascinating.

With Captain Jack's special performance, it might be hilarious.

It can be said that these scripts are tailor-made for Depp.

It can be used to shoot directly, if these movies are big sellers, some of them will make money.

The mainland of China has a box office of tens of millions, and after the account is divided, it will be replaced by two or three million US dollars.

Thinking about it this way, they don't seem to be losing.

In addition, he is now 100% sure that someone in his company has peeked at the script, otherwise it would not have been possible for someone to write it two years in advance.

"Who is this Lee?"

Such a talented screenwriter should come to Disney.

"President, he is a TV drama director in Huaxia, it is said that he is talented, and the TV series he directed has very good ratings, and it is very popular in Asia."

"Wow, it turned out to be a director, you ask someone if he wants to come to Hollywood to develop, as long as the story is good, we can let him join."

He only said to join, but not to director.

Hollywood does not believe in the strength of Chinese directors.

Brother Kaizi has been to Hollywood, but he is not accustomed to the water and soil, and the movies he makes are silent.

……

There's nothing new in Hollywood, what's happening at Disney, even though it's not reported by the media.

But it soon reached Lionsgate.

At the same time, Lionsgate received a fax from China Film, saying that they were closely following the situation of "Chainsaw" and hoped that Lionsgate would fulfill the contract seriously at that time.

Lionsgate's top management also attaches great importance to it.

Wen Ziren soon heard about this, and he was a little surprised that Li Shengyao was able to pull Zhongying in.

After a few years in the beautiful country, he is already more mature than before, and knows how shameless Hollywood companies are in front of interests.

If it was just Li Shengyao alone, he would be alone, maybe Lionsgate wouldn't care about it at all.

Now there is one more China Film, if Lionsgate does not want to completely abandon the Chinese market.

Then you really have to weigh it, and you have to share some broth with others.

Thinking that Li Shengyao had made a profit, Wen Ziren's guilt in his heart decreased slightly.

In fact, he also wanted to ask Lee Shengyao about his next creative thoughts, but he was worried that Lionsgate would cheat people on money, and he was not too embarrassed.

At this time, when I heard the news, I felt a little relieved.

For "Chainsaw", although the outside world is not very optimistic, they feel that this low-cost street movie is not interesting.

But the creative team, as well as Lionsgate, are very important.

Hollywood has never had a similar movie before, and as an industry insider, Wen Ziren is confident that this movie will explode.

A box office of 10 million dollars should be there.

That's when his partner Werner returned, "Lionsgate asked about Lee. ”

"Oh, what's the matter?"

It turned out that Lee Shengyao wrote several scripts for "Pirates of the Caribbean" and passed them to Lionsgate, and then thought that Lee Shengyao had been optimistic about "Chainsaw" early on, and everyone at Lionsgate thought that Lee Shengyao might be a good filmmaker.

They want to try to bring Lee Shengyao to Hollywood and give them a job to make money.

Wen Ziren smiled, "He doesn't want to come over." ”

They had already asked about this matter, and Li Shengyao was reluctant to go over.

Werner tilted his head, "What if he was asked to direct a movie?" ”

Wen Ziren was stunned for a moment, a little unsure, after all, this is directing a Hollywood movie.

How many big-name directors from other countries are tirelessly demanding to show their hands in Hollywood.
