America is in control

Chapter 293 Confirming Cooperation and Persuading Sanmei (will order tomorrow)

After hearing James Huang say that he had actual directing experience, Liu Jiang quietly glanced at Jonathan beside him and gave him a dissatisfied look.

These are not included in the information collected by the other party. Isn't this guy a little complacent? or? Bang bang?
Sensing General Liu's eyes, Jonathan felt like a light on his back.

He knew he had done something wrong and had some bad consequences.

But the bad results have already occurred, and the facts cannot be changed.

In order to restore his impression in the eyes of his boss, Jonathan secretly made up his mind to perform well in the next period of time.

But the most important thing at the moment was to get this matter out of the way first. Jonathan immediately gave General Liu an apologetic look in return.

"James, the script you and Glen Morgan wrote is very good, and the way the characters die is quite imaginative. What did you think about it at the time?"

After James Huang finished introducing his experience in the industry, Liu Jiang asked questions related to the content of the script.

"In order to make the story more thrilling, mysterious and unpredictable, Glenn Morgan and I drew inspiration from Rube Goldberg's machinery and together designed many killing techniques similar to the domino effect."

James Huang thought for a moment and revealed the original intention of his and Glen Morgan's design.

"As for the script, I have another question. Why doesn't "Flight 180" have a specific villain boss? Did you do this on purpose?"

General Liu asked again.

"Actually, in the original script, there was a clear villain - Death."

"But when I saw the beginning of the original script, I made up my mind that the version I started to revise would not feature any specific villain."

"The reason is simple. Once a specific villain appears in the script, the entire story will lose its frightening quality."

"More importantly, I think the core selling point of "Flight 180" is not the bloody killing techniques at all, but the confrontation with the unknown God of Death, and escaping the inevitable fate of death by deceiving the God of Death."

James Huang became more confident as he talked and explained his creative ideas.

In order to enhance the persuasiveness of his words, he even made a comparison with horror movies of the same type.

"In a horror movie, the villain boss kills a character in a cruel and bloody way, and the audience may be very excited."

"But when the big villain boss kills a character who keeps making stupid mistakes again and again, most viewers may not be so excited. They have lost their sense of freshness and are a little tired of it."

"But in "Flight 180", the God of Death can only take away the lives of characters who should be dead through various ingenious designs."

"The further time goes by, the fewer characters will be left, and everyone's attention will be more focused."

General Liu nodded and agreed with the other party's statement. Perhaps this is the most unique charm of "Flight 180" without setting up a specific villain!

"I have no problem here! If New Caesars Entertainment can get the rights to "Flight 180", then the director of this movie is you, James!"

I feel like James Huang has pretty good abilities and experience, and he also has his own understanding of horror movies.

Coupled with the fact that the other party had also been successful in this movie in his previous life, Liu Jiang made a prompt decision.

There was a hint of surprise on James Huang's face, and he nodded gratefully to General Liu.

Glen Morgan, who was sitting next to him, reached out and patted the other person's shoulder, congratulating him in a low voice.

"I'll leave the rest of the cooperation details to you! Jonathan, you should be fine, right?"

General Liu turned to look at Jonathan beside him, and beat him gently but not too hard.

"Of course!"

Jonathan just patted his chest and promised.

"Then wish us a happy cooperation in advance?"

Standing up, Liu Jiang stretched out his right hand towards James Huang.

"Happy cooperation!"

James Huang stood up quickly and shook hands with the other party. His attitude was a little more attentive than before.

Liu Jiang shook hands with Glenn Morgan again and left the office.

In the next few days, New Caesars Entertainment negotiated cooperation with James Huang and Glen Morgan, and the two immediately proposed to New Line Cinema to buy back the script.

When New Line Cinema boss Shea learned that James Wong and Glenn Morgan had found a new home, he suddenly panicked and began to offer them better terms.

Unfortunately, James Huang and Glen Morgan had already been cheated by Shay once. They didn't dare to trust each other anymore, so they refused forcefully.

Xie Yi couldn't stand it anymore. He signaled the company's employees to try to delay the progress of the two of them buying back the script. Then he called General Liu and started to investigate.

"John, do you have any problem with me?"

As soon as the call was connected, Shay couldn't wait to yell.

"Mr. Shea, why do you say that? What happened?"

Liu Jiang began to act stupid and show off his acting skills.

"Ha! Didn't you know? The new Caesars Entertainment has not collected horror film scripts recently? Have you not contacted James Huang and Glen Morgan, the screenwriters of "Flight 180"?"

Xie Yi laughed angrily and asked three questions in a crackling voice.

"I really don't know! Our company is indeed preparing to make a horror thriller movie this year, and we are currently screening the script. Wait, what kind of flight you just mentioned, I seem to have an impression!"

Liu Jiang would beat him to death and refused to admit it, but his words were not too false.

"Just a little impression? John, don't kid me! That's a very good script. I don't believe you can't tell the quality of the script!"

Shay broke the casserole and asked to the end, asking again and again.

"Okay! I admit it! "Flight 180" really left a deep impression on me. Mr. Shea, is this script the reason why you are so angry?"

After all, the quality of the script is there, and it would be hypocritical to deny it blindly. Liu Jiang simply admitted that the script was excellent and asked a rhetorical question.

"That's right! New Line Cinema valued and won the rights to "Flight 180" a long time ago. I like this script very much."

Shay responded, then talked about the origins of New Line Cinema and "Flight 180."

"Mr. Shea, this doesn't make sense! Since New Line Cinema already owns the copyright to "Flight 180," how could someone go around looking for production companies to cooperate with this script? Are they liars?"

Liu Jiang directly pointed out the vagueness of the other party's words and deliberately raised a dilemma.

"Uh! You can't say that. The other party is actually not a liar! In short, the matter is a bit complicated. When New Line Cinema bought the script, it agreed to several unreasonable requests from the creator of the script. Afterwards, the company's professionals went through several rounds of A cross-assessment found these requirements to be extremely risky. So”

Xie Yi was speechless for a moment and could only explain in a hesitant manner.

"So New Line Cinema started to cheat? It used delaying tactics and delayed the other party for several years? Hiss! Mr. Shea, this is too much!"

After summarizing it in concise language, Liu Jiang commented with some disdain. "John, are you admitting that you know this?"

Shay couldn't hear the sarcasm in the other person's words.

"Mr. Shea, isn't this what you just told me?"

Liu Jiang still denies it.

"Phew! John, let's not beat around the bush, okay? Can you give up the cooperation between the new Caesars Entertainment Company and James Wong and Glenn Morgan?"

Simply stating his words clearly, Xie's tone became a bit colder.

"Jonathan is in charge of the company's horror film project. This was a reward I gave him after the box office hit of "Looking for the Midnight Kiss" last year! I don't know the specific situation now, and it's not convenient for me to intervene."

Putting the blame directly on Jonathan, Liu Jiang came up with a high-sounding reason.

"John, are you planning to go against New Line Cinema and become my enemy?"

Shay became a little impatient and began to speak rudely, with a hint of threat in his words.

"Mr. Shay, what are you talking about! First of all, this project is not under my control, and I don't want to be in charge of it. After all, it has a special nature! If you want to discuss or trade, you can contact Jonathan directly."

"Secondly, this incident was obviously caused by New Line Cinema itself, but you blame New Caesars Entertainment and me. This is a bit too overbearing!"

"Since the creators of the script have come to us, it is enough for everyone to compete fairly. Is New Line Cinema afraid of New Caesars Entertainment?"

Liu Jiang didn't tolerate the other party at all, and fought back with a slap in the face.

"John, couldn't you do me a favor for the sake of our happy cooperation before?"

Seeing that he could not frighten General Liu, Xie Yi planned to launch a favor offensive.

"Mr. Shea, you are making things difficult for me! You are also a producer, and you also know how rare the opportunity is to direct a movie alone."

General Liu refused to let go of any food or salt, soft or hard food.

"John, how about this! The project is led by New Line Cinema, and New Caesars Entertainment can account for more than 30% of the investment."

"As long as Jonathan agrees, there's no problem with me!"

"What The Fxxk! John, you'd better not forget the help New Line Cinema and I provided you before!"

"Business is business! Don't tell me, New Line Cinema is making less money! By the way, "Searching for Midnight Kiss 2" has been produced, right? It will be released in the summer, and the sequel will make a lot of money."

The two chatted on the phone for a long time, with Liu Jiang not falling behind at all, but Xie Yi finally failed to get his wish.

Both parties took a step back, leaving room for each other without breaking out.

James Wong and Glenn Morgan struggled to buy the script back from New Line Cinema with the help of lawyers.

Immediately afterwards, the two rushed to the new Caesars Entertainment Company without stopping.

Since then! The thriller horror film project is officially approved, the director is in place, and the producer is in place!
"Flight 180" was officially renamed "Death is Here".

Good news came one after another. After a period of careful polishing, three top screenwriters came up with the script for the magically revised version of "Charlie's Angels".

After Liu Jiang carefully reviewed it, he felt that this version of the script was very different from what he had in mind, so he made the decision!

The work of the three top screenwriters is not finished yet, and the script refinement is of course indispensable!

The most important and thorny task for General Liu right now is to convince three top beauties to join the "Charlie's Angels" project.

His first sleepwear target was Jennifer Connelly.

After all, Big Cream Cake and General Liu have known each other for the longest time and have the deepest relationship. There is nothing unfamiliar to them inside and out.

On this day, General Liu specially found a three-star Michelin restaurant and had a candlelight dinner with Connery.

Connery wore a white silk deep-V suspender evening dress and sat dignifiedly at the dining table.

Her long, glossy black hair was tied into an exquisite bun, her eyebrows were like smoke, her eyes were like stars, her facial features were beautiful, and she had a pretty face.

There was a faint blush on her hibiscus-like face, which made people's hearts move.

Connery looked at General Liu sitting across the dining table with blurred eyes, feeling a little uneasy.

What's going on today, little lion? Why did he suddenly invite himself to such a high-end restaurant or a candlelight dinner? Did the other party plan to give him a surprise?

Thinking of this, Connelly became a little excited. The corners of her mouth raised slightly, the blush on her face became even worse, and there was a hint of expectation in her eyes when she looked at the other party.

Liu Jiang pretended to look at the menu and randomly ordered a few dishes that looked pretty good.

Sensing something was wrong with the way Connery looked at him, he immediately stopped and looked up.

Huh! What's up with this big cream cake? Why are her eyes suddenly so hot? Could it be a misunderstanding?
Seeing Connery staring at him like a lioness staring at its prey, Liu Jiang felt inexplicably flustered.

"Honey, what do you want to eat?"

General Liu was a little restless as he was stared at, so he simply turned the menu over and handed it to Connery, asking the big cream cake to order.

"Little Lion, you suddenly brought me to a three-star Michelin restaurant today. Do you have anything you want to say to me?"

Seeing that Liu Jiang was chattering and not doing anything for a long time, Connery couldn't hold it anymore and started to test his words.

"Haha! Sure enough, you guessed it!"

Liu Jiang showed an expression as if he had been caught stealing a chicken, and looked at Connery helplessly.

Hearing the other party's answer, Connery was so happy that he almost jumped out of his chair.

She tried her best to calm down her excitement and took a few deep breaths.

The blush on his face became even worse, and the tenderness in Connelly's eyes seemed to be about to overflow.

She stretched out her right hand and waved it twice, like a little girl begging for candy, gesturing to General Liu.

"Bring it here! I'm ready! What are you waiting for? You don't want me to find it myself! Where did you hide the things?"

Connery's lips were slightly pouty, and her two thin pink lips were fluttering like butterflies. He spoke quickly, like a rapid-fire barrage.

At this time, she was stunningly charming and radiant, making people unable to take their eyes away.

"for you!"

Liu Jiang took out the "Charlie's Angels" script he had prepared in advance and handed it over.

　terribly sorry! The author is staying in the hospital these days and will order it tomorrow, or refresh it tomorrow.
