Chapter 285 is suggested to be changed to: kill and bury
"Don't 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 nestled on the sofa faster than anyone else. The three-inch high-heeled shoes were hooked with her toes. The ride swayed non-stop.
"Why do you say that?" Roland, who came out of the tea room, handed the juice to the other party, then looked around, and brought the slippers scattered aside to the other party, "Change the shoes."
"If you don't want to cast this movie, it will make me reject AngLee directly at the dinner table."
Kate kicked the high heels aside, but instead of putting on the slippers immediately, she curled up and put her legs together.
Many Europeans and Americans do not have the habit of changing shoes at home. Because of the floor and carpet, they prefer to go barefoot, just like Michael Fassbender, when he walked with his wife in the rich area, he went out barefoot.
But Roland is not used to it.
"I told you not to refuse immediately, because I don't want to make the atmosphere of the scene stiff." Seeing that there were still vacancies, Roland took his seat, but as soon as he leaned on the sofa, Kate's folded legs stretched out. Straight, very familiarly placed on Roland's lap.
The trembling big toe seems to be showing off, but if it is matched with the heel lift and light tap, it is a little secret that two people understand, and Roland also grasped the instep at the right time, clenched his fist with his right hand, and his phalanges are slightly protruding , pressing on the soles of the feet.
"Hmm~" The feeling of comfort made Kate squint her eyes, and like a cat, she rested her head on the armrest of the sofa.
But even though Roland was very good, Kate still did not forget her purpose because of this, "Really? I don't believe it."
Kate really didn't believe what her man said.
Or in other words, in her eyes, Roland is just a guy who can't afford it early.
If there is no profit, then he will not care about the atmosphere, he will only tell the truth.
"Let me tell you, we'd better not touch the project of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
"It's not that there is a problem with the project, but that there is a problem with AngLee."
"In this day and age, how are movies related to the Civil War made?"
"The "Gettysburg" launched by the new line in 1993, the whole story is shining with the brilliance of human nature!"
"The Battle of Glory, which was released in 1989, even described how during the Civil War, under the serious prejudice of racial discrimination, how white officers trained blacks who escaped from the black slavery system in the South into a well-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!"
“Glorification of the KKK and demeaning of black people is not what society needs now!”
“The current social situation is that people are only allowed to criticize the black slavery system in the south, and people are not allowed to question the situation of the laborers in the north! Creators can expose the atrocities of plundering the people in the north, but at the same time they must spread the meaning of emancipating black slaves!”
"Under this general environment, AngLee said that the Civil War is meaningless to ordinary people, which is to dislike his career for too long! Can you understand what I mean?"
Kate thought that Roland saw that "Sense and Sensibility" was so good, so he felt that the oriental version of the movie was also very interesting, so she wanted to pay for it; but the problem was, in her opinion, this ultimate There is no need to invest in projects that don't know how much profit they can turn into, because they are not short of money at all!
There are many projects in Roland's hands, and the profit brought by each is several times that of film and television. In this case, they don't need to ruin their reputation for some petty profits!
After financial freedom, caring for feathers is the best choice!
What's more, AngLee is now against the mainstream public opinion!
The persuasive tone coupled with the stern rhetoric surprised Roland, who was massaging Kate's feet.
Looking at the guy with his arms around him and his eyes staring straight at him, Roland smiled and shrugged and said, "I really just don't want to make the atmosphere stiff. Didn't you see that I've been eating? If you refuse immediately, Then can I survive until I finish eating and then leave?"
"Let's break up on the spot!"
"Huh?" The same remark made Kate frowned, "You don't have to perfunctory me about this kind of thing, okay?"
"I'm seriously telling you about the dangers of investing!"
"AngLee can feel that the Civil War is meaningless, but he can'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 for my daughter-in-law.
But this kind of silence is ignorance to Kate.
"Do you just want to earn this money? Or do you want to promote the brand of Warcraft Movies and TV?"
Kate, who wanted to continue persuading, straightened up and pulled Jio back from Roland's hand.
Such behavior made Roland feel even more wronged.
Because he really didn't want to invest in "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"! Just want to have a good meal!
Now he speaks the truth! How come no one believes it!
That's right!
After seeing the book "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", Roland had already made a decision not to vote.
As Kate thinks, after investing in Apple, Amazon, and holding Berkshire Hathaway stock, he doesn't need the profit of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" at all, and there is no need for a little money. Go against the wind of public opinion.
Knowing that AngLee's behavior is problematic, he went to support the other party. Isn't this a disease of the mind?
That's why he gave up the initiative of the topic to the curious Kate, while he kept eating at the dinner table.
Of course, there is a reason for not leaving early, even after knowing about Ang Lee’s situation, and still going to meet him. That’s why—letting “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon” follow the original historical path is also what Roland wants to see!
Why?
Because of the "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in the previous life, it was finally voted by Sony!
In Roland's previous life, Sony Columbia Pictures took advantage of the fire.
Seeing that Ang Lee couldn't get investment because of his bad butt, and had no choice but to choose himself, Sony opened his mouth and asked Ang Lee to sign a gambling agreement with them.
Sony Columbia will inject capital into the project, but if the global box office of "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" cannot reach six times the amount injected, then AngLee and the others will not get any share.
belongs to Baigan work.
Even if it is achieved, the sharing ratio of both parties is different from the market price.
Although the final result was not bad, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" became popular in Europe and America, and Ang Lee won an Oscar for the best foreign language film. None have worked with Sony - Hulk, Brokeback Mountain and Lust, Caution are Universal, Life of Pi is Fox, until Billy Lynn's Midfielder War" was re-entangled with Sony Samsung Studios.
And that is just touching and breaking up.
Of course, it was not Roland's true wish to witness Ang Lee being cheated by Sony again.
What he really wants to see is that Sonny also has a bad ass!
While every company secretly ‘blocked’ Ang Lee because of the position shown in the movie "Riding with the Devil", Sony sent charcoal in the timely manner, turned into an angel, and voted for Ang Lee's project?
Isn't this courting death?
If it is just an investment, the other companies that are disgusted may just turn a blind eye, but what if it is accompanied by the "Black Hawk Down" gift package? Then Sony can only sit on the wax directly!
A "Black Hawk Down" may be defined as an accident, but if you add "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"...
Who would believe that Sony is innocent?
One or two?
Ningdang is memorizing the Tao Te Ching here?
One life two, two beget three, three beget all things?
What's more, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" will be released before "Black Hawk Down"!
So after the replay, the Sony in the eyes of the public is Ang Lee who first accepted the meaninglessness of the Civil War and helped him film Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon! Then it came out with Black Hawk Down, and it did things during the 'September11attacks' period!
In this case, even if Sony has mouths all over his body, it can't be explained clearly!
Sony: 'I really did not violate the "International Law", I really did not interfere in the internal affairs of other countries! '
Sony: ‘Sir, I was really wronged! '
CIA: 'Do you think our people's police will believe your nonsense? '
CIA: ‘Twice in two years, do you think we are blind? '
Since you want to kill others, you have to do it absolutely.
If you don’t have a criminal record, create a criminal record! If you don't have a criminal record, make a criminal conviction!
After the cause and the result, everything will be arranged for you!
We not only control the killing, we also control the burial!
With such an idea in mind, Roland will naturally not inject capital 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 safely eat this project.
But all this, he couldn't tell Kate Ming.
So after seeing that his woman really didn't want him to jump into the pit, Roland also showed a bit of helplessness when he accepted the warm concern, "Well, I really can't hide it from you..."
Hearing what Roland said, Kate, who was hugging her legs, wanted to raise her hand and hit her man.
But when the slap fell, she retracted regretfully, clenched her five fingers, and grabbed 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", didn't you have a deep understanding of the situation of black people in Hollywood?"
"Why did you forget all this after seeing AngLee now?"
"You tell me why you want to vote? If it's just for the money—"
"Then you can sleep on the sofa for me from now on!"
The harsh words made Roland a little dizzy. Looking at the really angry daughter-in-law, he raised his hand and wanted to hug her in his arms.
But unfortunately, Kate didn't give him this chance. As soon as Roland reached out his hand, she opened her mouth and bit hard.
"Okay! I say! I say it's okay?"
In such a situation, Roland, who didn't want to lie, made up a bunch of excuses, "I understand the seriousness of the matter, and I also know that I can't invest in Ang Lee because of the fact that I have worked with him many times. , I want to help him too."
"Look at his state tonight, he has actually regretted it."
"He knew he shouldn't get involved in this matter, but unfortunately, there is no regret medicine in the world."
"Besides, I don't think it's something AngLee can do alone to reveal the thought of 'the Civil War is meaningless'! Unlike Steven and James, AngLee doesn't have the final editing rights!"
"The final effect of the movie is determined by the distributor!"
"In this case, can't the sentence 'the Civil War is meaningless' be cut out?"
"Or, didn't the filmmakers know to ask Ang Lee to retake this shot?"
"The movie has just finished shooting, and Ang Lee already knows the result, and the Big Six doesn't invest in him. What does this mean? It means that someone wants to test the market's reaction, but they refuse to come forward in person!"
"So AngLee was pushed out to take the blame!"
“Although this does not prove that AngLee is innocent, it will not be the root cause of his direct ban.”
That's right!
Although AngLee himself admits that "Ride with the Devil" is a very complicated movie, and his handling may not be in place, but Roland does not believe that he insists on conveying those thoughts!
In other words, many of these sensitive Hollywood movies are not made by American directors!
"Black Hawk Down", director Ridley Scott is British.
"The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Green Mile", the director Frank Darabont is French.
"The Shape of Water", director Guillermo Toro is Mexican.
"12 Years a Slave", director Steve McQueen is British.
And "Windtalker"...
There is no need to say this anymore.
Although Hollywood frequently produces controversial movies, most of them have nothing to do with American directors!
And those controversial movies that were put on the screen by American directors, in fact, many of them are topics that have already been settled!
This is actually very easy to understand. Let outsiders eat crabs first. If the market feedback is no problem, then your own people will follow closely. But if there is a problem, then sorry, I can only wrong you foreigners to go back to your country to avoid the limelight...
Really think Hollywood capital is all stupid?
How could people not know which sensitive topics cannot be photographed?
But even knowing, they will still try these content again and again!
This is not a crazy 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 through repeated temptations that a series of contradictions such as racial issues, women's rights issues, religious issues, and political issues have been screened out. Under this kind of manipulation, a chaotic situation has emerged.
After all, what the bosses of these people want is to profit from the chaos. If there is no chaos and peace, then what resources are they fighting for? And if they collapse as soon as they are in chaos, it will undoubtedly make their miserable life worse for them who are already subjugated!
So, whenever a controversial movie appeared, and the public opinion overwhelmingly scolded the director, Roland just ignored it.
Director trash?
This is producer-centric Hollywood!
The only fathers who have the final editing rights are those few!
Where do these directors get the right to let the capital who controls the distribution channels take orders from them?
Aren't you funny!
"That's why you want to help Ang Lee?" After hearing what Roland said, Kate frowned.
Although she admitted that Roland was right, but—
"Whether this is a temptation in the traditional sense or not, we don't need to get involved."
Kate only hit Roland when she was unreasonable or Roland was unreasonable, but when both parties were able to communicate normally, her tone was still very serious, "After all, the disadvantages of participating in this matter outweigh the benefits for us. "
"While my words may be a little harsh, but..."
"My future name can 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 won't vote, I just won't vote."
"Didn't AngLee say it before? Sony didn't immediately reject him, so..."
"I think that Japanese company still has ideas."
"So, I wanted to procrastinate on this matter for a while, and then turned around and told AngLee that many people think this cover film is very good, but unfortunately only non-America capital can invest."
"Not only that, if the non-America capital can let the movie be released in America, it will still have a head."
"Isn't Columbia (Asia) the only company that can release movies in America instead of American capital? This is the biggest help I can give him. As for whether it can succeed..."
"Then it's up to them."
Since it was a game for Sony, Roland didn't want any accidents to happen in this matter.
Even if Roland knew that after he refused, AngLee would definitely look for another investment and find Sony, but how can there be any insurance that Roland himself hinted at?
As the owner of 25% of the shares of Sony, Amblin and Warcraft Film and Television Co-Publishing Company, Roland believes that as long as he tells Ang Lee that his colleagues think the script is good, then he will definitely continue to work on it, and waiting for him to tell Ang Lee, This movie can only be released in America to maximize its benefits...
Sony is the only target in AngLee's eyes.
As a company that established an office in Beijing in 1995, Sony Columbia is really interested in these films.
As long as the two sides grind a few more times, Roland believes that things will be under his control.
When Roland narrated his "true" thoughts, Kate listened carefully first, then raised his forehead with dimples, then stretched his brows and slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, and finally—
Just when Roland thought that Kate would boast that she helped AngLee without letting herself fall into the pit.
Kate did the opposite, and what's more, she raised her hand to beat someone.
"Roland! Such a simple matter, why can't you explain it to me once and for all?"
"This is not a difficult topic to talk about. You just held back for a long time, and I thought you really wanted to invest!"
He had already told the truth and was beaten. Roland couldn't stand it anymore. In order to show his family's throne, he immediately changed into an 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 didn't you tell me clearly?" Kate felt that Roland was being unreasonable.
"You are wronging me!" Roland raised his voice.
said confidently: "You didn't believe me from the beginning, okay? You always thought I would invest!"
"I do not believe you?"
He slapped Roland coldly, "I didn't ask clearly, can't you just say it consciously? If I have to ask you everything, then how many things are you hiding from me? "
"How can I hide something from you?" Roland felt that this guy was a little baffled.
"It seems that you really have something to hide from me!" Kate is like a blind monk who has discovered the beauty.
"What?" Countless question marks popped up on Roland's head.
"If you have nothing to hide from me, then why would you ask instinctively? Only a guilty conscience would do this!"
"..."
"Is it right?"
"..."
"Quickly tell me, what else are you hiding from me?"
"..."
Roland was startled.
He was surprised by Kate's inexplicable change.
And when he saw the guy with arms folded, serious face, staring and questioning, but with a smile in the corner of his eyes—
He immediately understood that the worst thing to do in this world is to reason with women.
This is obviously to find that I was wrong! I don't want to admit it! And I still want to beat him up!
As for such ignorant guys, Roland usually chooses to convince people directly with reasoning.
Bowed directly, leaned forward with both arms, as if catching a chicken, and carried Kate on his shoulders.
"ah!"
Caught off guard, Kate let out a cry of surprise, her hands instinctively grabbed Roland's clothes, and then...
Crack—the door to the bedroom has opened.
Boom—The door to the bedroom is closed.
"Roland! Do you want domestic violence?"
The sound of the urn came from inside the house.
"Don't talk nonsense! I'm teaching you, people have to learn to reason!"
Roland will not be fooled by Kate.
"You fart!" Kate cursed, but there was a little joy in her voice.
Even so, threatening words came out one after another, "I warn you! Don't mess around!"
"Tomorrow is my birthday, if you..."
But before Kate could say all the following words, her voice stopped abruptly.
A few seconds later, a cry of pain spread throughout the room.
"…ah!"
When the melodious voice gradually dissipated, words full of revenge appeared instantly.
"Roland, you will die tomorrow!"
