I just want to copy books quietly

"Can you stop talking?" Gaspek couldn't bear it any longer. "When will you return the 'We will robsp; you' vinyl record you owe me?"

Simon stared at him, "When did I owe you the vinyl record? You owe me a hardcover copy of Hemingway's autographed "A Song of Ice and Fire."

Gaspick shrugged. "Here we go again. You never take a bet. I don't want to bet with you again."

The reporters behind glared at them: "Stop talking nonsense, listen carefully!"

Gaspick and Simon glanced at each other and fell silent at the same time.

There are indeed a lot of dry goods in this press conference, and it is worth listening carefully.

After the speaker finished speaking, the press conference entered the question-and-answer session.

With so many reporters present, surely not everyone had the opportunity to ask questions.

But Warner Bros. Pictures' press conference was not a White House press conference either, and Warner Bros. Pictures was less reserved and arrogant.

So among the reporters present, about 70 people got the opportunity to ask questions one after another.

But each reporter can only ask one question.

Most of the questions are for Hemingway to answer, and some of them are not even related to this press conference. They are about Hemingway's private life, whether he has really reconnected with Yan Yingzhen, and whether he and Claire have had a supernatural relationship. The relationship of friendship, and someone asked: "May I ask if you and Evans are in a relationship?"

This made Hemingway turn blue.

Of course, most journalists are not that boring.

For some topics that everyone is interested in, Hemingway also gave more detailed answers.

For example, the respective types and themes of the three games.

The story introduction of the film and television works just announced (it seems to have said a lot, but when I think about it carefully, I didn’t say anything).

The location of the movie world theme park, the estimated construction period, etc.

An overview of variety shows that may be launched.

For example, when asked, "With the current financial situation of Warner Bros. Pictures, it may be difficult to afford so many investments at the same time", Hemingway replied with a smile. There is a large amount of money lying in the accounts of entertainment), Dahua's Oasis Film and Television and Double Star Group have initially reached a cooperation agreement, so don't worry about the source of funds.

"Even if the money is not enough, I will pay for it out of my own pocket, so please rest assured that the agreed investment will not be less than a penny."

When asked, "Most of the film and television plans announced just now come from the scripts you wrote, and even 3 of the 2 games to be produced come from your ideas. May I ask if this is really your own creation?" Is it? I personally don't believe that someone can have such a talent that even God would be jealous of."

Du Caige shrugged and replied, "These are not my creations."

Having said that, he paused.Just when everyone thought they were about to hear a super big melon, Du Caige continued: "God put them in my mind, I just copied them out."

In a sense, this is actually realistic.

But to the reporters present, it was a good joke.

This humorous answer with a little bit of religious overtones made the reporters present roar with laughter.

In the country of Stars and Stripes, which has a strong religious atmosphere, such an answer cannot be faulted in the slightest.

Someone followed up with this question and asked, "I admit that you have written excellent scripts before, but I don't think there are any other excellent scripts that can match your scripts. However, in the next production plan of Warner Bros. Pictures, you More than three-quarters of the screenplays were written. I think you are very confident, but have you ever thought about what would happen if these works failed?"

Du Caige told him: "Any movie made with any script has the possibility of failure. No one can guarantee that a certain script will be successful. You go to ask XXX, ask XXX, ask them if they dare to guarantee the ticket, they choose a script to If I shoot, it will definitely hit the box office? Maybe if I do this, some people will think that I am too conceited. But at least, I dare to take responsibility."

In the Stars and Stripes, where individual heroism prevails, such an answer is also very popular.

The topic that the reporters are most concerned about is Du Caige's personal film project.

In fact, Du Caige's personal film was not mentioned at all in the spokesperson's speech just now.

This is of course Du Caige's intention.

Because of this movie, he just had a preliminary idea, and it hasn't been fully finalized yet, so he doesn't want to talk about it.

But you can make some layouts by answering questions from reporters.

"Mr. Hemingway, according to a source, you are actively working on your new film. I heard that you are more likely to start a new series than start a sequel to the 'A tale of Martial-art' series, yes ?"

Du Caige replied seriously: "I don't know where you heard the news, but I want to tell you..."

Speaking of this, a smile suddenly appeared on his serious face, "You guessed it!"

"'The Lonely Master' was a great story, and a lot of people thought that if you did a sequel, it would do better. Why wouldn't you?"

"Because I make movies for love, not for money. After all, I'm already too rich."

This answer... why is it so embarrassing?

"What will the new story be about?"

"I can't reveal too much, but the fame has been thought of. 'Matrix'!"

Reporters scrutinized the name.

The word "Matrix" originally meant the womb, the mother's body, the place where life is conceived.

At the same time, in mathematical terms, Matrix is ​​used to represent various related data in statistics and other aspects, and it means "matrix".

Such a name really makes people imagine.

But Du Caige refused to reveal more.

"When will the filming start? When will it be released? How much will the investment be?"

"The shooting will start in the second half of this year."

"The shooting cost has not yet been budgeted, but it is estimated that it will not be less than 2 million US dollars."

"The time of release... I hope this is a film that strives for excellence and can bring you more novel feelings and the pleasure of watching the film. So only when the film meets my requirements will it be released. The release time should be at Next year’s summer vacation, and even the next year’s New Year’s period. It will only be postponed, not brought forward. Let’s see and post.”

……

"Ma'am, your phone number." The maid stood at the door of the bathroom and said respectfully.

"Bring it in." Margaret Wood sat in the bathtub, the foam covering her delicate body.

She stretched out a bronze-skinned arm that was clearly trained and sunbathed, and the small muscles were very flexible, and took the phone.

James' voice sounded.

"Hey, Margaret, there's something I need to tell you. Hemingway called me a while ago. He talked about Shin. We need to meet and talk about it!"

(

Chapter 754 Must give him an account

Soon, Margaret Wood, James White, and Johnny Randall, as well as several descendants of the middle and high-level members of the California consortium, but their status and disposable funds were one level lower than theirs. get together.

This is Johnny's mansion in the Bay Area, which is very close to the training base of the famous major league team "Sports".

Sometimes you can even hear the loud noises of those rugby players, the dull "puff" and "bang" sounds of fierce collisions in armor, interspersed with the coach's sharp whistle.

Johnny was a very good quarterback in high school and college, and while he didn't turn pro, he always loved football—perhaps because he didn't have a career.

When there was a faint burst of laughter from the players, Margaret curled her lips in disgust.

She loved sleeping with football players, after all they were big, strong, and physically fit.

But that doesn't mean she loves the sport.

"What did that Dahua billionaire tell you? Why did he have an intersection with Shen?" Margaret turned her gaze to James.

James was distracted by the smoke of his cigar.

Although he usually likes to pretend to be a gentleman, anyone who knows him knows that he is a jerk.

Vulgar, arrogant, never care about other people's feelings, don't care about other people's life or death.

So Marguerite didn't bother to ask him to put out the cigar, because he would definitely not listen.

James was holding a cigar, and seemed to be slowly coming back to his senses, "I didn't know what the relationship between Hemingway and Shen was. So before I came here, I asked a few well-informed people in Dahua."

Having said that, he took two puffs of his cigar sullenly.

When smoking a cigar, smoke is not usually inhaled into the lungs.

But he actually frowned and sucked the cigar in.

Then I was choked and coughed again and again.

"Cough, cough, cough..." It took him a long time to stop coughing, and he looked a bit depressed, "The start-up capital that Shen used to create 'Duo Rei Mi' was obtained from Hemingway's old father by disgraceful means. It is said that Hemingway's old father was so angry that he fell ill and died."

No one spoke, obviously shocked by the news.

After a long while, Margaret said bitterly, "Is Shen crazy? Calculate the time. At that time, Hemingway should be famous all over the world, and he is already a billionaire."

"Maybe Hemingway was too low-key, so Shen didn't know how much energy he had at that time." James said in a speculative tone.

Johnny looked at his little friends, "So what now?"

Although he has a cruel personality, he is not a very clever and quick-witted person.

When encountering problems, he habitually lets others think.

"What did he say to you?" Margaret asked, still keeping calm.

James smacked his lips and said in a dry voice, "Hemingway? He said that he has a personal grudge with Shen, so let's not ask Shen to do anything. Otherwise, when he deals with Shen, he will accidentally ruin our business." , it’s not good if you hurt your peace.”

"Hypocritical orientals. They like to say hypocritical and circle words." Margaret commented.

Someone sneered and said, "We can't do whatever he says."

"Then what do you think we should do?" The other person rolled his eyes, "I don't want to offend a billionaire."

This sentence represents the voice of some people.

They were well aware of the power that comes with wealth, and Hemingway, who had more wealth than them, had greater power.

Confronting power is never a good idea.

But not everyone wants to shy away from the struggle.

"It's not that we offend him, it's that he wants to touch us, understand? We can't back down, otherwise if it spreads out, our dignity will be demolished, and no one will dare to do things for us in the future."

"It's not our fault. It's Shin's own fault. Do you want to start a war with Hemingway? I don't think it's a good idea. If you want to start a war with Hemingway, I'll quit."

"No one is talking about going to war with Hemingway, but we can't let him have his way."

"Hemingway doesn't necessarily want to start a war with us. His tone is not tough."

"Eastern people are all like this. They seldom say tough words, and they are usually very reserved, but you can understand what toughness is when they do things. They don't even frown when they cut their stomachs."

"You are talking about Sakurajima people, not Dahua people."

"What's the difference? They're all Orientals."

"Okay, don't get off topic. Now we are discussing how to respond to Hemingway."

"Just tell him 'you fight, you fight'."

"I don't want to go crazy with you!"

Obviously, the friends are divided into two factions with different opinions.

Johnny's attitude is relatively tough, and James and Margaret haven't made a statement yet.

The rest were arguing with each other.

"Listen, guys," one of the buddies suggested loudly, "think about it, we've already taken this business, and you know who we're dealing with. It can't be influenced, otherwise We will be torn apart by those people. And Hemingway, whether you like him or not, he is absolutely capable of ruining our affairs. So I suggest that we remove Shin, give him to Hemingway, and then someone else will host Dahua. There is still half a year between now and the release of 'Lyon Outlaw', so there is still time for a replacement to take over."

Margaret thought for a while, then shook her head and said, "No, Shen's role cannot be replaced easily, otherwise we would have replaced him long ago. We have spent several years to promote him and let him contact Dahua Those people in the Chinese entertainment industry. Now that he is replaced, especially if we are going to hand him over to Hemingway, it is impossible for him to willingly hand over his relationship to a newcomer."

Speaking of this, she paused, glanced at her friends, and emphasized her tone, "If those relationships are cut off, the consequences will be more serious than you imagined, and it will lead to a sharp increase in our money laundering costs in Dahua. Let us It doesn’t make a penny, and it even makes us make ends meet.”

"Of course, if we can postpone the action and give the newcomers a little more time, I believe that what Shen can do, he can do, and those relationships can be reconnected."

"But we don't have the time."

What businessmen are most sensitive to is "interests".

When they heard that the replacement of Shen Jinsong would cause them to lose money, those who advocated abandoning Shen Jinsong before became silent.

James pondered for a while: "So we want to keep Shen temporarily. But how does Hemingway explain?"

"We don't need to explain to him," Johnny said darkly.

Margaret had a different opinion: "No, we must give him an explanation, and we must not let him ruin our business. Johnny, don't be arrogant, this is not your personal grievance, but it is related to the wealth of all of us and fate."

Johnny pouted disapprovingly, reserved his opinion, but stopped rebutting.

Margaret still has a little prestige in their circle.
