I am a literary giant in Europe

Chapter 165 Chiseled a Window
Ted read through a chapter quickly, reading ten lines at a glance.

His back was already wet!

"Impossible, this is impossible..."

He muttered to himself, with disbelief in his eyes.

An old screenwriter!

Although The Adventurers is his famous work, he has written countless scripts and collaborated with countless crews before that.

Although he had only read one chapter, he probably understood it.

This was the story he wanted!
More detailed, more complete, more...

So, Bruheimer didn't call him over today to discuss his outline?
What the hell do I need an outline for?

The story is already in this novel.

But how is that possible?

This is clearly a story structure they just came up with, how come someone has already written it?

Plagiarize his idea?
joke!

He is unable to explain the story clearly now, but others have already written it, and it is obvious who plagiarized whom.

He raised his head and looked at Brüheimer.

“Mr. Bruheimer, I can assure you that I did not plagiarize.

I've been so busy discussing ideas and frameworks with Terry and Stuart lately that I haven't even noticed the book. Just yesterday we decided on the character of Jack Sparrow, and we even..."

"Ted, stop explaining!"

There was a coldness in Brüheimer's eyes.

“No matter how you explain it now, it won’t make sense.

What I want to say is that our cooperation is over... I have always loved you because of your talent. So, I can pretend that this never happened, but I hope you... Anyway, take care of yourself. We will contact each other later.

Bruheimer tore up the outline in front of Ted Elliott.

He stood up and walked out.

"Mr. Bruheimer, I can really assure you..."

But Bruheimer ignored Ted.

There is no right or wrong in Hollywood!
Yes, just benefits.

When you can't bring me any benefit, you will be nothing.

Even if Ted Elliott and the other two are well-known screenwriters, so what?

I've found someone more suitable!
Ted Elliott sat there like a dog with a broken spine.

After a moment, he stood up and walked out.

The blonde waitress at the restaurant door was still smiling, but Ted Elliott knew that he was finished.

Brüheimer won't pursue the matter!

But this is Hollywood.

Nothing is a secret unless you want to know.

Bruheimer may not pursue the matter, but the matter will be exposed sooner or later.

Unless he can complete a better script before being exposed and win the favor of the bigwigs, no one can save him.

Then, let’s try again!
He touched his head, which was already showing signs of a Mediterranean tress, and secretly made up his mind.

……

"I think Elliot didn't lie."

In the car, William, who was sitting in the passenger seat, couldn't help but say.

"so what?"

"I……"

“William, you have to remember that in Hollywood there is no right or wrong, only strength.

Or maybe Eliot really didn't plagiarize? I'd like to believe he didn't, but would that be helpful? You can't say this international student plagiarized him... He finished the first book at the end of June, and now he's finished three books, with the manuscripts in Random House's hands. If it weren't for that outline, everything would be fine. But...

You've also read the outline, what do you think?"

"My first instinct was that the international student had stolen the outline."

"Arrogant, William, you are arrogant."

Bruheimer laughed.

In fact, when he saw the book "Pirates of the Caribbean", his first impression was that the international students had stolen Eliot's outline.

But how is it possible!

The international student is in France.

· Wherever we want to go, we go. That's what a ship is, you know.
Sailing freely, without restraint. Perhaps this is a Chinese person deeply influenced by American culture.

Otherwise, how could one speak such beautiful and moving English?
Sometimes, the pursuit of justice requires the existence of pirates, because piracy itself is also a way of survival.

Jack Sparrow: How far would you go to save that girl?
Will Turner: I would die for her...

Freedom, adventure, sacrifice!
What a wonderful and timeless theme.

When Brüheimer closed his eyes, the shining lines from the book kept flashing in his mind.

This isn't a novel, it's a script.

A fully mature script!

“William, put me in touch with Mr. Pete Olson, Pete Olson at Random House.

Also, find the contact information for Ms. Carmen Balcells and that Ms. Mela Singla.

Organize the information about Amos Liu Jin.

I need to know clearly what works he has and how they performed.

Then collect all his works for me.

Also, please contact Robert Iger for me... well, Robert Iger, and tell him I'm inviting him to dinner tonight."

Robert Iger, President and COO of Walt Disney, is Disney's second-in-command.

Michael Eisner was the CEO of Disney at the time.

But the specific business is basically operated by Robert Iger.

If you can convince Robert Iger, you can basically convince Michael.

Bruheimer didn't want to deal with Michael, a guy who was indeed very capable and controlled the Disney empire.

But, too rude, too arrogant, and too controlling!
Even Bruheimer would find it difficult to communicate with him.

"Ok!"

William quickly wrote down Bruheimer's request.

And Bruheimer took out his phone.

He was about to dial when the phone suddenly rang.

Looking at the name above, Brüheimer couldn't help but laugh...

He shook his phone at William and said, “I was just about to look for him, but he called me first.”

After saying that, he answered the phone.

"Hey David, how's it going?"

It was David Lynch calling.

"I'm fine, Jerry."

"I haven't congratulated you yet. Mulholland Drive won the Best Director award at Cannes."

"Ha, that was half a year ago... I'm having a headache lately, wondering where to go with my next project."

"Aren't you working with that Chinese student studying in France?"

"Did you hear that too?"

"Haha, of course... I'm really curious about your interview in Paris."

"curious?"

"Let me be frank. You are such an arrogant fellow, yet you admire a Chinese student so much. Of course I am curious.

Also, I saw his new book, Pirates of the Caribbean."

"Hahaha, I was just thinking of recommending this book to you."

"Forehead?"

"Haven't you been saying that you wanted to do a project about pirates?
"I read Amos's book and couldn't sleep at night. If I weren't so bad at this kind of subject, I would really want to buy it."

"David, listen to me, thank you!"

"Well, now that you've noticed, I won't bother you anymore."

"Wait a minute, how's your collaboration with that foreign student, Amos Liu Jin, going? If it's convenient for you, I'd like to talk to you... Let me put it this way, I like Pirates of the Caribbean, and I'd like to collaborate with him."

"I'm in New York now."

"Tomorrow, tomorrow I will fly to New York to see you."

"No problem, I'll set aside the whole day to talk to you about Amos Liu Jin and his new book."

After hanging up the phone, Brüheimer looked up at William.

He smiled and said, "It seems that David's cooperation with this foreign student has already begun!"
