Chapter 171 [Wrong Fury](1/2)

After the news that Billy Hills Company will jointly invest with DreamWorks on the movie "The Great Robbery" was announced, it caused an uproar in the media. At the press conference held, this news almost excited all the media!

"Spielberg vs. James Cameron!!" This is the front page headline news of "USA Today" that day!

In terms of simple directorship, there is no doubt that James Cameron is the only one among the current American directors who can compare with Spearberg. Of course, super directors such as Peter & Jackson (director of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, "King Kong", etc.) who suddenly emerged in recent years have gradually become qualified to challenge, but they are still a little short of their qualifications.

Countless people are wondering whether Spielberg will be the producer of this movie, which already has a super luxurious lineup... Of course, this is a speculation with gloating.

Because everyone knows that in Hollywood, James Cameron has always been a little unhappy with Spielberg and regards him as his biggest opponent. At the Oscars ceremony, James Cameron swept all Oscar awards because of "Titanic". Finally, he stood on the stage with the Little Golden Man and shouted "I am the king of the world"! It was clearly a challenge to Spielberg, the real number one big shot in Hollywood.

In addition, when James Cameron was directing a movie, he was arrogant, absolutely stubborn and arbitrary in his work (of course, he is indeed a genius!)... He and the investors of each previous film were finally broken! Otherwise, he would not have won the nickname "Tyrant".

Such a person lets him cooperate with bigwigs like Spearberg. If there is a difference in work...that will be a big fun! It will definitely be an explosion like Mars hitting the earth!

There is no doubt that Spearberg's Dream Factory franchise has caused this movie that has attracted countless attentions, and once again a handful of dry firewood was added to the flames!

Sure enough, Spearberg and I attended the press conference together, and James Cameron also attended, accompanied by Lei Xiaohu and several big-name stars. Such a luxurious lineup made almost all the front pages of major media outlets in the United States that day by us! Because among the people present, at least four Oscars won the award, and more than half of them had been nominated for the Oscar!

"Dreamworks will become one of the investors in this film," I announced at a press conference: "At the same time, Stephen will also serve as the supervisor of this film."

The overly brief announcement immediately made the media dissatisfied.

"Chan, say a few more words!"

"Chen, is this decision unified by you?"

"Chan, do you have any objections?"

And more reporters are very clever in pointing the camera lens at James Cameron! As long as James Cameron shows any dissatisfaction - hehe, then there will be information in the newspaper tomorrow!

Moreover, with Spearberg's joining, isn't this the best alternative? Everyone knows that when shooting every movie, James Cameron will have a quarrel with the boss of the film company... And for this movie, once James Cameron has a quarrel with the film company, the film company may directly fire him! Then immediately, a "god" like Spearberg will take over as the director's position on the line!

...

However, it disappointed everyone in the land. James Cameron's face not only did not have any unhappy expression, but also had a little smile... The satisfied smile in his eyes was real! Instead of forcibly pretending! This made the media suspicious.

Then Spearberg made a brief speech... The boss is worthy of being the boss. His voice was very soft and not loud, but as soon as he opened his mouth, hundreds of media in the audience immediately calmed down. No one dared to make noise, and no one dared to interrupt him!

This is status!

Spearberg's words are very nutritious and are completely clichés. What are "Thanks to Billy Hills" "Director Cameron is a great director, and it is my honor to be able to work with him" and so on...

After he finished speaking, we announced that all the computer effects of this movie will be produced by DreamWorks...

This is also very exciting news!

Because DreamWorks' previous computer special effects have been admired countless times! Whether it is the pure cartoon "Shrek Monster" or the passionate "Transformers" that makes countless movie fans excited! There is no doubt that DreamWorks' technology is the world's top-notch!

The press conference was very short, James Cameron didn't say anything, and he always had a smile on his face.

What calmed this hot-tempered guy was the few words I convinced him when I visited him overnight last night.

Of course I know the truth that "a mountain cannot accommodate two tigers"! Putting two super big directors together, two geniuses who are used to being the same, is definitely a disaster! What is caused can only be internal struggle! Moreover, the relationship between the two may not be harmonious. But I convinced this "tyrant" to cooperate well last night.

First of all, I told him clearly that Spearberg's joining was purely the one I invited to "solve the problem". Although he was a name-based producer, he would not make any moves in the filming of the movie. It was purely a name-based.

Then, I made a promise to James Cameron…he will have the "final editing rights" of this film!

"The final editing right"! This is something that all Hollywood film directors dream of! You must know that under the Hollywood film shooting system, the director himself has no right to edit the movies that the director finally shoots! The editing is handed over to a special company to do.

The problem is that every director wants his own film to retain his own complete style!

It’s like the child you gave birth to. Of course, you hope that the child is like you gave birth to, but at this time someone forcibly took your child away, dressed up and packaged the child... or even had plastic surgery!

If it were you, would you feel good?

However, this system in Hollywood is iron-like! Countless top-class directors are helpless! Including extremely awesome directors such as James & Cameron, Peter & Jackson, etc., they all have to watch the films they directed obediently, and are edited by others in a way that is completely contrary to their wishes!

Of course, there is only one director in the United States who has the final editing rights! You can edit your own movies according to your own wishes!

This person is Spearberg!

Whether as a director or treating Spearberg as his lifelong pursuit target... from these two points, James Cameron really wants to get this "final editing right"!

I gave him this what he wanted, and asked me just "As usual, you continue your directorial work, no one will point fingers at your work! That's all!"

Old Cameron almost woke up from a dream and laughed!

This is why Cameron looked like a good baby at the press conference.

After joining DreamWorks, I immediately announced that the film would be put back into filming. Those who resigned temporarily or those who made excuses to leave the crew were fired mercilessly! At the same time, I also informed the police of the stolen props without any concealment. But I asked Officer Louis to help me keep the secret and conduct a secret investigation...

In fact, the investigation is just to pretend to behave. The purpose is to shock Gao Qi.

Sure enough, it was different with the joining of Hollywood No. 1 boss! We re-hired a group of professionals to supplement the crew's power. We changed several economic companies, and then the shooting began an orderly process...

After a nearly calm week, Yang Wei returned to Luoshanji from Las Vegas. When she saw me, she smiled and said, "Xiao Wu, you are finally a little bit like turning your hands into the clouds and turning your hands into the rain. The guy Gao Qi is the one who has a headache now."

I smiled and went up and hugged her warmly.

After picking her up from the airport and returning to her residence, as soon as we entered the door, Yang Wei closed the door and jumped on me at the same time. The two of us immediately kissed passionately.

We haven't seen each other for more than ten days, both of us vented our passion in our hearts, but Yang Wei was still sensible. Seeing that their emotions reached their peak, we might inevitably cross the line if we continue. She finally put her arm gently on her chest and separated her a little distance from me. She gasped and said, "Okay... I have something to say to you."

"No." I shook my head stubbornly and deliberately fooled: "Nothing is more important than kissing you now."

Yang Wei burst into laughter, kissed me quickly on the cheek, and then flashed out of my arms. I put down my arm in frustration and said helplessly: "Okay, what the hell is going on."

I was really unhappy, and Yang Wei felt a little guilty, so he came over and hugged my arm and pulled me down and sat down: "Okay, my dear, I really have something to tell you - about the mafia!"

Only then did I calm down and get serious.

Gao Qi has not made any moves recently. Although he was discouraged by Spearberg's existence, I wouldn't naively think that Gao Qi would forget it like this!

When I think of such a great enemy in the dark, I am always peeking at me... This feeling is of course very bad.

Yang Wei stood up, brought a bottle of manhead horse and two goblets from the wine cabinet, put them in front of us, poured two glasses of wine, handed me a glass first, and then she slowly said: "This time I went back to Las Vegas, I first shared the profits of this year's smuggling to my uncle. Then I participated in a regular meeting in the family. At the regular meeting, my brother said a lot of bad things about me... Alas, but it doesn't matter. My uncle is a smart man after all. Although he favors his son, he will not be vague about the interests of the family. After the regular meeting, I talked with my uncle privately and told him about our situation. The main reason is the unfriendly behavior of the Gambino family to us."

Yang Wei looked at me: "I originally wanted to persuade my uncle to come forward... After all, my uncle is the head of the Three Leaf Crocodile family, and it has some relationship with several mafia families. If my uncle can come forward as an intermediary, he might be able to reconcile our conflicts with Gao Qidi... Chen Yang, don't look at me like this, I know it is difficult to make you bow your head, but now we don't have the strength to fight against the Gambino family."

"But the Gambino family simply wants to drive us out. This contradiction cannot be reconciled unless we leave now." I said straightforwardly.

"Yes." Yang Wei nodded: "But in the long run, this is not inconsistent with us. We don't plan to take root in Hollywood! After filming this movie, do we still plan to continue investing in movies? After all, the birth of this movie is accompanied by that big accident! But such a miracle is not born every day! We come here and make a lot of money! Then, leaving is the smartest way to do it. And our original plan. Isn't that exactly that!"

I nodded, although I was unwilling to give up - Yang Wei was telling the truth. Our purpose was to make money, not to do business.

"So, I think we have no need to fight with the Gambino family in the long run. As long as there is an intermediary to reconcile between us, and then we just need to fight for a period of time to keep the Gambino family neutral and not take action... When we make money, we will sell the company and leave Hollywood. Our goal is to make money, not to fight with anyone. Chen Yang, you have to understand this."

"..." I didn't say anything.

I admit that Yang Wei was right. But... the problem is, what happened that night!!

That night was an absolute humiliation for me! It was a trampling on my self-esteem!! If you are a man, you can't stand that insult!

And what happened that night, I didn't tell anyone, including Yang Wei... because such a scene was so embarrassing.

I took a deep breath, and reason still defeated my vengeance. I said hard: "Well...you keep talking."

"But, I can't convince my uncle." Yang Wei sighed: "My uncle doesn't want to involve this matter. At the same time, he also forbids me to help you in the name of the family. I helped you before with my personal strength and did not use any family strength - but this is already the limit that my uncle can endure."

I looked at Yang Wei's face and found that she seemed to have nothing to say. So I said, "What else?"

Yang Wei looked at me carefully, then handed me the wine. I took it over and took a sip, and then Yang Wei whispered: "I said, you are not allowed to be angry."

"Hmm?" I looked at her strangely.

"I...I went to find Li Wenjing later." Yang Wei sighed: "The Li family has a lot of power in the upper ground of the United States. Their family also interferes in the arms business and has a good relationship with the Locke family, the largest arms family in the United States! Moreover, the Li family has a lot of relationships with the Capone family of the Chicago Mafia...so..."

Yang Wei stopped when he said this because she had already seen my face look ugly.

I am really unhappy! Very unhappy!!

Go and ask Li Wenjing for help?!

A kind of indescribable sourness and anger deep in my heart!

Li Wenjing?! Of course I know that Li Wenjing admires Yang Wei very much! There is no doubt that he is a very outstanding and excellent relative in the New Year! Among the people I know, among the same age as me, I have never met someone better and better than him! The family background, good education, whether it is demeanor, talent, or ability, is very admirable... And just in the past, I also had a lot of good feelings for him...

But! It's different now!!

Li Wenjing loved Yang Wei very much and even almost proposed to marry Yang Wei with the Yang family! If it weren't for the ridiculous "kiss" that Qiao Qiao had in public...

And now, since the relationship between Yang Wei and I was clearly revealed, no matter what, I have regarded Yang Weishi as my woman! It is my place to forbidden!!

At this time, my relationship with Li Wenjing became subtle!

To be fair: Now, the relationship between me and him has become a love rival!

Even if you take a step back, even if there is no breakup between us... But if you are any man! If your career is in a huge and big crisis, at this time, will you accept a man who loves your wife very much and help you?!

Bang!

I put the cup heavily on the table, and my face looked ugly: "Did you really go to find Li Wenjing?"

"Yes." Yang Wei took a deep breath: "This is the only way I can think of. I went to find him, and he quickly agreed to my request. Then he had already taken a plane with me to Luoshanji."

I didn't say anything.

Yang Wei continued: "I... have told Li Wenjing about the relationship between me and you... and then, in order not to be embarrassed, Li Wenjing did not meet you. So he would go to see Gao Qi, and then make efforts... and he would leave directly. He would not meet you."

I became popular immediately!

I stood up and stared at Yang Wei: "Well, I didn't meet me because I was embarrassed... Is this your idea? Haha!! I was in big trouble, and then I had to rely on my rival to help me!! In order to take care of my emotions, he was so kind that he didn't meet me... Humph! You are really thoughtful! Are you embarrassed to say something grateful when I face him!!!"

"No... it's not what you think!" Yang Wei tried to grab my hand, but I threw it away.
To be continued...
