Chapter 106: A Ship in the Pacific
Melulan Dora certainly didn't come to find fault with her, or even to investigate.
During this time, they have been investigating, and the embassy and Hollywood have gradually reached a consensus: no evidence can be found that Su Changqing is suspected of plagiarism, and this matter is very tricky.
Coincidence that two people happened to create the same story?
Don't insult people's intelligence, my cousin America is making up stories, would you believe this kind of ghost story?
There must be a trick in this, and one of the two creators must cheat, but it can't be exposed for a while.
As a parent, calf care is a must.
Then the skill of dealing with this matter is very important, Hollywood business cannot be stopped, this matter must be properly resolved.
The first reaction is, of course, intimidation, this is tradition, and sticks and carrots are not legends.
If it is easy to talk about and discuss, Su Changqing is likely to kick his nose and open his mouth, and even ask for a signature on the movie, which is unacceptable.
Tough tactics with the right price will definitely be able to shut this guy's mouth, so the most expensive movie in history is still the original original.
A small director who has only created a total of 20 million US dollars at the box office, and the big stick carrot has been invincible for 200 years, and it is impossible not to work for such a small person.
Melulan Dora adjusted her mood, approached Su Changqing slightly, and suddenly asked in half-baked Chinese: "Mr. Su, what inspired you to create "I Really Don't Want to Ride Titanic"?"
It's really not curious, she's not interested in this, she's just looking for a topic to get closer, and using "creation" can be regarded as a gesture of goodwill.
Mu Mu was surprised, and finally couldn't help but interject: "Do you speak Chinese?"
Melulan Dora even smiled half-baked: "Not very skilled." ”
The U.S. military is also very cunning, it seems that the female translator is her firewall, which is usually used as a buffer, but now she needs to pull the relationship aside.
"Your name is Melulan Dora," Su Changqing glanced at her and asked, "Why do you want to know about "I Really Don't Want to Ride Titanic", and why do you say that you are suspected of plagiarism, whose work is plagiarized?"
He pulled the topic back again, ignoring the overtures.
If you need to ask what you need to ask, you must also ask, and you can't appear to know everything.
"Call me Mei Lan, this is my Chinese name," Mei Lulan Dora smiled as if nothing happened: "The so-called plagiarism is a misunderstanding, please forgive those two daredevils." ”
Mei Lan, that's the maid's name.
It's been for a few minutes, Su Changqing can't afford to waste his time, since she has asked again and again, tell people, she can't come all the way to ask this, and end one topic before starting another.
"Because I've always been interested in shipwreck stories, but it's another shipwreck, the Pacific. ”
Su Changqing told a story.
My grandfather, a fisherman off the coast of Zhejiang, was very young when he heard him say that more than 30 years ago, a passenger boat sank in the night, drowning hundreds of people, and all kinds of boxes were floating on the sea at dawn.
When I grew up, I realized that it was a Taiping Steamer, which sailed to Keelung Port in 49 years.
There must have been many stories when the last fugitive liner sank during the war.
Later, when I became a director, I pondered putting this incident on the screen.
The wreck of the Titanic was discovered in 85 years, and the shipwreck, which also suffered heavy casualties, naturally attracted Su Changqing's attention.
"I checked some information about the Titanic, read a lot of various stories, and one day I drank wine and had a whim, so I wrote "I Really Don't Want to Ride Titanic". ”
Su Changqing's grandfather is really a fisherman, and he did drink before writing, so these two sentences are the truth.
Of course, there is a purpose to pull from the Taiping Wheel to the Titanic, and he changed his words: "I set the story on the Titanic to commemorate the ninth anniversary of the discovery of the wreckage......"
Melulan Dora interjected and asked, "Why commemorate the ninth anniversary?"
The wreckage was found in 85 years, and it was indeed the ninth anniversary at the end of last year, but there is no reason to commemorate the ninth anniversary, right?
Su Changqing sighed: "Because nine is the top of the yang number in our culture, I hope that all the victims will rest in peace under the nine springs." ”
Melulan Dora glanced at the translator, and it was clear that she didn't understand much of what she was saying.
Su Changqing continued: "But in the future, I plan to adapt it into a screenplay, and at the same time transplant the story to the Taiping Wheel, and form a series with the movies I am shooting now." ”
Melulan Dora was a little dumbfounded, the main purpose of her coming today was to release the intention of acquiring the copyright, if Su Changqing planned to make a movie by herself, it would be complicated.
Looking at the zombies dangling outside the window, she couldn't hide her disappointment: "The subject matter of the film you are making now seems to be very fantastical, how to form a series with the Taiping shipwreck?"
Su Changqing didn't let the zombies avoid these two women, as long as they didn't take pictures, they didn't care if their images were leaked.
"It's all disaster films, I'm currently filming "Taiping", and I'll start filming "Taiping Wheel" next year. ”
The Taiping series, which is also completely unscrupulous, but it sounds like that.
Melulan Dora doesn't know what to say, today is mainly here to make a pre-stop for further negotiations with Hollywood personnel, and I can't talk about it anymore when it comes to this point.
However, the task is completed, the only thing she is sure of is that Su Changqing is difficult to deal with, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood, and the rest of the bones have to be gnawed by Hollywood itself.
The mainland began to introduce Hollywood blockbusters, and the cultural officials of the American embassy of course participated, and Melulan Dora said some seemingly related things such as cultural exchanges and strengthening film and television cooperation, and then left with a business card and a translator.
Looking at their backs, Mu Mu was a little strange: "What is she here for, apologizing for the previous misunderstanding, or does she want to buy you?"
Even Mu Mu could see the true purpose of her trip.
Su Changqing also looked at their backs, and said expressionlessly: "She is running errands, now is just the beginning, and she will come again." ”
After all, this incident is still too strange for outsiders to understand, two groups of filmmakers across the Pacific Ocean planning to shoot the same shipwreck story?
"What are you writing about? It sounds like she's going to be the same as the plot of a movie that's about to start in Hollywood. ”
"I don't know. Su Changqing didn't say much: "I don't quite understand what happened." ”
"I really can't figure out that the dignified American embassy actually ran errands for Hollywood studios, did it receive kickbacks?"
The little girl has limited knowledge when she is just starting out, and when she sees the collusion between politics and business, she can only think of kickbacks.
Su Changqing touched the back of her head and smiled: "You didn't hear her just say about cultural exchange, film and television cooperation, in fact, the so-called cooperation is the introduction of their films, if you look at each movie as a ship, then what will happen next?"
"The standard of these imported films is usually higher than that of our own films, and they will make money if nothing else, so these ships are cash ships, and they will carry a boatload of money from us. ”
"You have a good comprehension and a quick understanding. ”
"Since it's an exchange, then we can also sail the boat over?"
"I'm afraid not, we don't have any good ships, and even if there are a few decent ones, they won't allow us to sail over. ”
"That's unfair, isn't it?"
"There is no fairness in the world, but we are not entirely at a loss, and ships carrying goods such as clothes and shoes are allowed to enter their harbor. ”
"Our teacher taught this, saying that the era of globalization is coming, but unfortunately we can only make low-end money. ”
"Some things don't change much, they just change the form. ”
Mu Mu didn't like too esoteric topics, and tilted his head to look at Su Changqing: "You really plan to start filming "Taiping Wheel" next, I don't sound like it." ”
"I didn't plan to, I wasn't interested in filming a group of fugitive widows. ”
The story on the Titanic has been beautified for decades, and there are many lies, which is a typical funeral, and the Taiping Wheel does not have this treatment.
In addition, even Mu Mu could hear that Su Changqing was talking nonsense, can Melulan Dora and Hollywood really believe it?
