America is in control

Chapter 292: Blatantly listening to the wall (will order tomorrow)
Through the two thick glass walls, the two people's eyes met at one point.

General Liu's heart trembled, secretly thinking that he was about to suffer, it was over! Tingqiang Gen was caught by the person involved, and it was over!
But then he thought about it, except for his tricks, he didn't show anything else!
Nicole Kidman shouldn't be able to guess her identity, so General Liu is still scared.

His eyes became hot again, and he unscrupulously looked at the special landscape formed by the other party being pressed against the floor-to-ceiling window.

Seeing that the person spying in the dark not only did not restrain himself, but became more and more aggressive, Nicole Kidman couldn't help but feel a little angry.

A sharp look flashed in her eyes, and she began to struggle hard, trying to attract the attention of Tom Cruise behind her.

Tom Cruise buried his head, looking completely absorbed.

He was already half a head shorter than Nicole Kidman. He was a small horse with a big cart, and he could barely get on the road.

The top white girl's strange behavior made him a little confused.

Not only did the other party not cooperate, they also wanted to disrupt his own rhythm.

Somewhat inexplicably, Tom immediately lost his temper!

He raised his arm and swung down hard.

There was a crisp sound!
Nicole Kidman was in pain. She frowned and wanted to turn her head and give Tom Cruise a look to stop him from continuing to act.

But her attempt to turn her head was misunderstood again by Tom Cruise.

He stretched out his hand and immediately grabbed the other person's long golden-red hair.
Some people may ask, is Nicole Kidman stupid? Doesn’t she know how to shout?
It’s not that she doesn’t want to, it’s that she can’t do it!
As Nicole Kidman's head passively moved higher and higher, the truth naturally came to light.

Tom Cruise is indeed a guy with a lot of bad taste. He stuffed a strip in the other person's mouth.
The situation becomes more and more weird, Tom Cruise goes rampant when he gains power, Pretty Nicole is in trouble, and John the Thief takes the opportunity to feast his eyes on him!
At the end, the top white girl's eyes shone with two completely different emotions: deep shame and revenge.

Those complicated and charming little eyes seduce General Liu so much!

Accompanied by a loud song, Liangtang and his wife disappeared behind the floor-to-ceiling windows, and the pair of bright star-like eyes between the curtains disappeared silently.

This housewarming party is not perfect. The aunt's urging to marry, Connery's hints, the big melons surrounding Tom Cruise, and Pretty Nicole's wall are all disturbing. Liu Jiang will throw away unnecessary thoughts and focus on it again. on his own career.

Jonathan acted quickly, and he quickly made an appointment with James Huang and Glen Morgan.

The day after the housewarming party, James Huang and Glen Morgan came to the downstairs of the new Caesars Entertainment Company at the agreed time.

James Huang was carrying an old briefcase, and Glen Morgan next to him was holding an empty hand.

The two looked at each other, and after a few words of encouragement to each other, they took big steps and walked in.

Glenn Morgan glanced at the information on the floor index, turned to James Huang and said.

"Haha! The new Caesars Entertainment Company is developing very fast! The company was established only a year ago and has only produced one movie, and yet it can afford to rent an entire floor of offices."

"That's "Looking for the Midnight Kiss"! A classic example of a small gain making a big difference in Hollywood! Glenn, be more serious. The new Caesars Entertainment is our last hope. If it doesn't succeed, we can only agree to the old guy Shay's conditions. Already."

James Huang looked seriously and said to his partner solemnly.

"I know! I won't do anything bad for you, I'm so verbose."

Glen Morgan waved his hand, and the two walked into the elevator together.

"Ding!"

The elevator stopped on the fifth floor. As soon as the two of them stepped out of the elevator door, a girl with a beautiful face and a graceful figure greeted them.

"Welcome to the new Caesar Entertainment. Do you two have an appointment?"

"We have an appointment! I am James Huang and he is Glen Morgan. We have made an appointment with Mr. Jonathan to meet this morning."

James Huang nodded towards the girl who was very fashionably dressed and said.

"Okay, you two please come with me!"

The fashionable girl took the two of them to the reception room.

"What would you two like to drink?"

"Coffee, thank you!" X2
"OK, just a second!"

After making a cup of coffee for each of them, the fashionable girl went to the general manager's office to inform Jonathan.

While waiting, Glenn Morgan couldn't rest at all. He looked around through the glass curtain wall at the interior of the new Caesars Entertainment Company.

"Jamie, have you noticed? The quality of employees in this company is generally good, and no one is affected by the arrival of visitors."

"It seems that the company's rules and regulations are very good. It doesn't look like the kind of company that just makes a fortune and runs away."

“The girl at the front desk is top-notch, with her appearance, figure, and voice.”

After Glen Morgan looked around, he made a serious comment to James Huang.

Seeing the expression of approval on the other person's face, he changed the subject and winked and teased.

Glen Morgan and James Wong had such a great relationship that they could joke about anything.

Of course the dirty jokes are not the point, his previous comments are the key.

Glen Morgan has been in Hollywood for a little longer than James Wong, and his qualifications are correspondingly deeper.

He has seen a lot of production companies that are trying to seduce others, but he has never seen an emerging production company like New Caesars Entertainment that is unique and has outstanding ability to make money as well as spend money!
When Jonathan contacted the two before, he revealed that the new Caesars Entertainment's budget for this year's horror thriller project is around US$1000 million.

If they are willing to cooperate and buy back the script from New Line Cinema, then New Caesars Entertainment will give the two a high price.

Not only that, after the film is successfully approved, the new Caesars Entertainment Company will hire two people as core members of the crew. Of course, they can only serve as deputy.

Jonathan assured the two that "Flight 180" will most likely be a box office success!
James Huang was dubious about Jonathan's remarks, while Glenn Morgan scoffed.

It’s okay to deceive laymen about project budgets. Real industry insiders or people with basic knowledge know that there are countless cases of falsely reporting production costs and cleverly setting up pretexts to steal profits in Hollywood!
In addition, it also involves various messy issues such as publicity, marketing, and benefit transfer.

A $1000 million project budget? It just sounds like a good gimmick!

Guarantee that the movie has a high probability of box office success? This is simply Jonathan bragging!

Glenn Morgan thought this way before he came to New Caesars Entertainment. He believed that this company was just lucky and had no real strength at all.

After repeated discussions, he and James Huang reached an agreement that unless New Caesars Entertainment agreed to their basic requirements, the two would never cooperate with each other and buy the script from New Line Cinema.

However, judging from the current situation, Glen Morgan's attitude seems to have changed slightly.

The new Caesars Entertainment Company is well-organized internally and has a strict system. It looks like it has both ambition and strength, and it doesn't look like a production company that is playing tricks at all.

If New Caesars Entertainment offers higher conditions than New Line Cinema, then it makes sense for the two to choose to cooperate with New Caesars Entertainment.

"Glenn, I told you a long time ago, don't underestimate New Caesars Entertainment. The boss of this company, John, is very powerful. His vision is extremely vicious. You can see it from the angel round he invested in Yahoo." James Huang didn't take his friend's ridicule seriously. He heard the wavering in the other party's words and took the opportunity to start lobbying.

He knew that Glen Morgan was not optimistic about his ability to direct "Flight 180".

After all, the two have already been fooled once by New Line Cinema boss Shea!

All Glen Morgan wants is for the script to fetch a good price and the movie to be a success, and for him to be a part of it.

James Wong and Glen Morgan's demands were pretty much the same, except for the right to direct one more movie.

There is a high probability that New Line Cinema can meet these needs, and even the prerequisites have been completed (the script has been won)!

It's a pity that New Line Cinema's boss Shea was hesitant about the film project and delayed it for a long time on the grounds that it was too risky.

It was not until the deadline agreed upon by both parties was exceeded that Shay hypocritically proposed a new condition, asking James Wong to give up the right to direct the film, and "Flight 180" could be launched immediately.

This shameless move made James Huang and Glen Morgan furious to death.

The two of them were not just waiting for death, so they immediately discussed countermeasures.

James Huang relied on the two's ten-year friendship and his understanding of his good friends to reluctantly persuade the other party to support him.

Break out of New Line Cinema and find another reliable production company!

The reason why the two of them have this confidence is very simple. "Flight 180" is indeed very attractive and has a unique charm!

Having been in the industry for more than ten years and working as a screenwriter for almost ten years, James Huang still has this vision.

Having said that, the most important thing in Hollywood is attractive scripts!
People waiting to turn good scripts into movies have long been lined up at the door of major production companies.

When will it be your turn? James Huang is not sure at all!

Fortunately, the new Caesars Entertainment Company came to the door before the news spread.

During the negotiation with Jonathan, the two also learned the lessons they had learned from Shay.

Glen Morgan's desire to serve as a producer on the film was nothing more than a smokescreen and a bargaining chip between the two.

The real purpose of the two people, or James Huang's real purpose, is only one from beginning to end, the right to direct "Flight 180"!
Whichever company is willing to establish the project in the shortest time and support him to become a director will be able to win the copyright of "Flight 180".

The reason why director James Wong's obsession is so deep is mainly because of his own situation and current situation.

It's funny to say that he has been hanging out in Hollywood for so many years! I’ve been working as a screenwriter for so long! Life should be getting better and better!
But the situation is exactly the opposite. James Huang has become worse and worse in recent years, and can hardly maintain even the most basic decent life.

The reason is very simple. The status of screenwriters in Hollywood is too low, their earnings are too little, their sense of presence is weak, and their bargaining power is almost non-existent.

The most realistic and ironic example is undoubtedly that people from the Writers Guild of America collectively make troubles, which often last for a long time, but the top seven in Hollywood act like no one is doing anything wrong, singing, dancing, and continuing to make movies.

If the organization causing trouble were replaced by the Actors Guild, Directors Guild, and Producers Guild, try it.

The Hollywood Seven will definitely jump out and express their attitude at the first opportunity.

The reason is simple. The riots caused by the Screenwriters Guild can only be considered as disturbing the soul at best. The riots caused by other organizations can only affect the interests!
After suffering a real-life beating, James Huang saw his current situation clearly.

As the saying goes, if people move, they will live, but if they move, trees will die!
He immediately thought of transformation, and director became the best choice.

At this moment, the door of the reception room was suddenly pushed open, and the fashionable girl walked in and spoke softly.

"Two gentlemen, Chairman John and Manager Jonathan, please come over."

James Huang and Glen Morgan stood up at the same time, nodded to the fashionable girl, and then followed each other to an office.

"Welcome to the new Caesars Entertainment Company. I am John, and this is Jonathan. He has been responsible for communicating with you before."

General Liu stood up and introduced himself to the two people who entered the office.

James Huang, who has black hair and yellow skin, is the easiest to identify. After a brief introduction, he stretched out his hand towards the other party.

"I think you are James Huang! This surname is quite special. As long as you see someone, you can tell them apart at a glance!"

"Mr. John, nice to meet you!"

James Huang shook hands with the other party, his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing.

"Then you must be Glen Morgan"

"Nice to meet you, Mr. John!"

Liu Jiang said hello to Glen Morgan again.

"Sit down and talk! I heard from Jonathan that the two of you have a prerequisite for cooperation. James Huang must be the director of the film, and Glen Morgan will be the producer of the film. Is that so?"

After a few pleasantries, Liu Jiang quickly turned to the topic.

"Yes, that's right!"

James Huang and Glen Morgan answered bravely.

"I can only agree to one of your conditions, can we continue the discussion?"

Liu Jiang began to apply pressure, and the two people on the opposite side suddenly fell into silence.

"Uh! Okay!"

After thinking briefly, Glenn Morgan glanced at James Huang, who had a troubled face, and said decisively, and then he added another sentence.

"The person who directs "Flight 180" must be James. This is the basis for our cooperation!"

James Huang glanced at the other party in astonishment. He was about to say something, but the latter raised his hand to stop him.

"Great! Let's move on to the next question. James, besides being a screenwriter on "The X-Files", do you have any other experience related to film and television production?"

Liu Jiang took over the conversation and asked James Huang directly.

The quality of "The X-Files" is good and it is one of the few TV series on Fox that has achieved ratings success in recent years.

Liu will not know much about James Huang, and can only use the other person's most dazzling experience as an introduction.

"I stayed on the set of "The X-Files" for a total of four seasons. In the first two seasons, Glen Morgan and I mainly worked as writers."

"But in the second half of the second season, I joined the directing staff and became an assistant director."

"In the next two seasons, I was very lucky to direct some of the episodes."
