Chapter 109: Goodwill
Lunch was not pleasant, but Melulan Dora refused to walk away, and it seemed that there was a lot of pressure.
Some of the work cannot be carried out and must be resolved as soon as possible.
She has been going back and forth with Su Changqing for a month, and her impression is not very good, this person is a bastard, lacks basic awe, and has a serious gambling mentality.
No matter what kind of good intentions he speculates, there is definitely something wrong with his article that is not serious when he hears the name, but there is no evidence to expose the ghost trick.
Melulan Dora believes in the information provided by Hollywood, as we all know, Cameron is very obsessed with the wreck of the Titanic, and after discovering the wreck in 85, he personally dived and explored many times, and then created a related script, although it has been in the stage of secrecy, but the media has been blowing the wind for two or three years.
And the young director in front of him has only risen to prominence in the past two years, and his debut film has won an international award, which can be regarded as talented.
However, the investigation did not find that he had published literary works before, but half a year ago he suddenly began to publish English in British magazines, but he himself did not understand English, and he still asked someone to translate, which was very strange.
The most important thing is that all of his actions in dealing with this matter are unreasonable.
Ordinary people will pay special attention to conflicts of interest with the United States, but this person is careless at the beginning, and even refuses to put down his work and go back to the company to take a serious look at the situation.
Acting so calmly was obviously a strategy, could it be that he had anticipated what was going to happen and had prepared for it?
Usually film and television creators are willing to cooperate with Hollywood, after all, they can get relatively rich rewards of fame and fortune, but this person is not, almost without thinking, refusing to let go, clinging to the so-called copyright, and there is no room for negotiation at all.
He should understand that he has a problem, Hollywood is willing to pay for it, and it should be accepted when it is good, instead of playing with its wrists, isn't this a vain attempt to sit on the ground and raise the price?
Who gave him the confidence and courage to do so?
Although Su Changqing also asked whose copyright conflicts with whose works, he didn't seem very curious, and seemed to know the inside story, Melulan Dora once suspected that someone in Hollywood was colluding with him and trying to blackmail the producers of "Titanic" together.
This is simply wishful thinking, the idea actually hit Hollywood, why not rob the American aircraft carrier fleet?
It is important for foreign officials to protect their own businesses, but it is rare for them to be so deeply involved in a specific copyright transaction, unless the stakes are very large.
"Titanic" entered the financing link, and the operation of the largest film investment in history is still in the stage of secrecy, and the external information is asymmetrical, but the young man in front of him seems to know the situation very well, and he is desperately stuck at a critical moment.
So from the position and perspective of Melulan Dora, Su Changqing is a scoundrel, just give him some color.
So I can only increase the pressure, and don't make movies.
However, this man also behaved strangely in the face of pressure, unusually calm, neither reapplying for a filming permit, nor contacting the embassy to try to reach a mutually beneficial deal, and seemed to see all the chips.
Melulan Dora knew very well that because of the misjudgment of this person, the handling of this matter was on the verge of failure, and she talked to Su Changqing chicken, which led to an impasse in Hollywood's financing negotiations.
The embassy has done everything it can do, and maybe Hollywood should deal with it next, she is a little fed up with this young man.
This is a beautiful country, the people are hardworking and kind, and they love American culture and yearn for the American way of life.
After serving, Su Changqing was very enthusiastic, and he was also a gentleman to take care of Melulan Dora.
It is said that there is a madman in the artist, and this person's spirit is probably not very stable, and from time to time it is like two people.
Towards the end of lunch, Su Changqing released some kindness: "Although I haven't figured out what happened from beginning to end, there should always be a direction to solve the problem." ”
Melulan Dora heard him say this and her hope was ignited: "That's why I asked you out to talk about a win-win situation. ”
"I heard that Hollywood is going to make a film about the Tankenic, did the story collide with me?"
Hollywood and related cultural officials thought that the problem was very simple at first, thinking that the matter would be solved by putting some money and some pressure, so they instructed Melulan Dora not to mention the specific title of the film in the negotiations, leaving no trace of the handle.
I'm afraid it won't work now, and some newspapers in the United States are already speculating that Cameron's new drama is in trouble and that the financing idiocy can't be completed.
"So expect you to work with us to deal with this perfectly. ”
"Well, I'll provide you with this adapted script, and you can shoot it with this. ”
If Meluran Dora had fully investigated, she should have known that Su Changqing was a well-known screenwriter who had won awards in Tokyo.
She categorically rejected this suggestion: "The script of the film has already been written, there is no need to change it, I suggest you offer a reasonable price and buy it out to us." ”
"That means that the film must be 100% Hollywood produced, and it can't be mixed with blood?"
Melulan Dora admitted: "This is a Western story, conveying Western humanistic values, which is inconvenient for others to handle. ”
"So not only can't my name appear on the film, but I can't even let the outside world know that it's related to the film. ”
"Let's face it, it's a huge investment, and Western audiences may not be able to accept a Western story written by an Easterner, and you should understand that, and vice versa. ”
This is a fact, and there is no need to refute it.
"Now that we're having lunch, everyone is trying to solve the problem. Su Changqing nodded: "Things have to come step by step, so let's do it, you first correct the wrong pressure, and only when work and life return to normal, can we deal with the problem rationally and peacefully." ”
"You agree to waive your copyright?"
"I'm a builder, a creator, not a destroyer, and of course I'm happy to see good Hollywood works, all issues can be discussed, but don't put pressure on me, I'm a person with poor ability to resist pressure, and I can't do anything with a little pressure. ”
The atmosphere suddenly eased a lot, and Melulan Dora wanted to make further sure: "What are your conditions, you might as well say it directly." ”
The United States is a commercial country, and even crimes can be bargained with judges, and the business spirit is still worthy of respect.
Su Changqing didn't say much: "Correct your mistakes first, and then talk, I never take advantage of others." ”
Three days later, Melulan Dora made an appointment to have a working lunch the next day, and Su Changqing agreed.
He asked the staff to try to review the shooting permit immediately, and if it was approved, it would be restarted.
Dog's day, this work efficiency, higher than ever.
