Chapter 667 Lin Xuan VS The Entire Hollywood

Banquet scene.

Many people's attention was on Lin Xuan.

At this moment, after hearing Lin Xuan's words, many people's expressions changed instantly.

Many directors looked at each other slightly, and began to move closer to Lin Xuan.As for the other Hollywood actors, they all realized something and started whispering.

"what happened?"

"There is a situation."

"Those directors seem to have conflicts with Lin Xuan."

"I just said that so many people came to Lin Xuan's banquet today, it's not quite right."

"Then what do we do?"

"Stand here and watch a movie, what else can I do? Lin Xuan is rich and powerful, but Gustav, Gerald and others are also top Hollywood figures, and each of them has more or less shares in the eight major film companies , that is to say, the high probability that they come today represents the meaning of the capital behind them.”

at the same time.

Anthony, Adonis and others not far away also noticed the situation.

Anthony frowned slightly: "The situation is not good. I originally thought that the Hollywood Directors' Union and a group of capital agreed to the Second World's acquisition of Tailun Company, which meant that they were willing to accept outside capital. But now it seems that Hollywood still doesn't want to The capital of other countries has gained a foothold here. Especially seeing that Lin Xuan’s first film was so successful, it shows that the Second World Film Company is likely to become Hollywood’s confidant in the future. Hollywood will not breed tigers, probably will Lin Xuan is excluded from here."

Just now
Adonis looked serious: "Yes."

Guan Yuman's face was covered with frost: "Crossing the river and tearing down the bridge? Isn't it too shameless? Why didn't we just refuse when we offered more than [-] million US dollars to acquire Tailun Company? Now that we have achieved results, we will immediately return?"

If it weren't for the fact that there were many Hollywood superstars nearby, Guan Tianhou would have swearing a long time ago.

special.

Think they are so bullying?

However, Huang Ming, who had been staring at the scene closely, was not surprised, but instead showed such an expression.Because he had long suspected that these people were not kind, and now it seemed that he had guessed correctly.

It's just that he thinks Mr. Lin is too kind. He knows that these guys have bad intentions, but he still spends a lot of energy to entertain them. It's a waste.

But soon, Huang Ming's heart was suspended.

Facing the aggression of almost the entire Hollywood, how will Mr. Lin respond?

……

……

Around Lin Xuan, more and more people had gathered.

There is Gustav.

There is Elton.

There is Gabriel.

There was Gerald.

The director who spoke just now saw so many people surrounding him, and gained confidence: "Director Lin, what's the pity?"

Lin Xuan glanced around lightly, and his calm eyes revealed an aura that didn't match his age.

He smiled lightly: "It's a pity, you don't know my character at all. If you really come to my banquet with the goal of win-win cooperation, then I will welcome you very much, and in the days to come Adhere to my promise to make Hollywood more brilliant than before. But you want to kick me out after I have spent a lot of money and energy to gain a foothold in Hollywood, then I can only say sorry."

As soon as these words came out, it could be regarded as clarifying the contradiction.

Originally, Lin Xuan also wanted to be more reserved, and endured as much as he could.After all, this is North America, not Huaxia, but now the other party is bullying him, and there is no room for maneuver. If this is the case, why should he bear it?

The more he endured, the more rampant these people would become.

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, many people's faces changed suddenly.

The scene became noisy.

"Lin Xuan, what are you talking about?!"

"Too arrogant?"

"Hahaha, I've heard that Lin Xuan is rampant, but I didn't expect it to be so rampant. He means that if he joins Hollywood, he can drive the development of the entire Hollywood film industry? Who does he think he is?"

"Really think that I can become the king of Hollywood after filming a movie called "Transformers"? Few of the directors here today are weaker than him. Many are even much better than him."

"That's right, Gustav, Elton, Jia Aisi, etc., who doesn't have a movie with a box office of over one billion? Who hasn't won an Oscar? Lin Xuan thinks too highly of himself."

"It is undeniable that "Transformers" is excellent, but in addition to China's inflated box office, its international box office is only in the early [-] million, and it can't even make it to the top [-] movies in the past, and this movie is purely commercial. , basically missed the Oscars. A movie with a mid-range box office, no depth, and no chance of winning awards, why is Lin Xuan so arrogant?"

"..."

Those who spoke didn't even lower their voices, but let Lin Xuan hear them on purpose.

All kinds of discussions filled his ears, Lin Xuan smiled slightly and ignored them.

At this time, Gustav took a step forward and said, "Mr. Lin, you misunderstood. We just want to prevent conflicts between each other's movies..."

He didn't continue talking, because Lin Xuan was staring at him with a half-smile, like looking at a fool.

Do you think Lin Xuan is a fool?

No matter what time, you are still talking nonsense with your eyes open.

Seeing that Gustav closed his mouth, Lin Xuan finally said: "Mr. Gustav, there is a saying in China: I treat people with sincerity, and only then can others treat me with sincerity. At today's banquet, I have released I have expressed my highest sincerity, but I have not received your sincerity. In this case, I take back the promise I made to you just now, and I will no longer care about anyone's movies, the movies of Second World Films, when I want to release them , when it will be released. I will not discuss with you, I will not take care of each other, and I will not advance or postpone... If everyone thinks my movie is easy to suppress and bully, just come, I, Lin Xuan, are waiting."

The scene was shaken.

Lin Xuan's words completely intensified the conflict.

really!

Young people just can't stand the stimulation, and they can't take it all at once.If it were a mature and prudent person, he would definitely think of a more secure solution to this situation.Who would have thought that Lin Xuan had no intention of making compromises at all, and simply put the contradiction on the bright side.

Anthony's heart skipped a beat: "Lin Xuan is a bit reckless."

There was worry in Cyril's eyes: "Yes, if he talks like this, there will be no room for maneuver."

Guan Yuman snorted coldly: "If Lin Xuan doesn't do this, do you think those directors, the capital behind them, and even the directors' union will let Lin Xuan go?"

Anthony froze for a moment, then quickly shook his head: "No."

They now understand that only the directors union has the energy to unite so many directors to put pressure on Lin Xuan.Since it was the intention of the Directors' Union, it would be useless for Lin Xuan to make any efforts.

Guan Yuman sneered: "Isn't that enough? Since it's useless to give in, it's better than hard steel! I think Lin Xuan is too gentle, and I would have blown them away long ago."

Anthony: "..."

Cyrillic:"……"

Several people swallowed.

Although this is the rationale, I always feel that something is wrong.

Didn't it mean that Chinese people are all humble and introverted?Why are the few Chinese people they know getting more irritable than the other?

now.

Hearing Lin Xuan's words, Gustav frowned.

Originally, their idea was to let Lin Xuan back out of difficulties, but they didn't expect that this reckless man would fight them in the ring regardless of the situation.

If it were any one person, if they dared to compete with so many great directors, they would let the other party know how to write dead words.But Lin Xuan is a different kind, because Lin Xuan is too rich and has too many resources.If the director on his side confronts Lin Xuan, with Lin Xuan's character, it is estimated that Hollywood will be messed up.

This girl is willing to spend hundreds of millions of dollars to acquire Tai Lun Company, and does not hesitate to invest [-] million dollars to shoot a mecha film. It can be seen that Lin Xuan is a decisive person and doesn't care about losses at all.The key point is that this guy is too rich, and when someone's movie is released on his side, if Lin Xuan goes crazy and spends billions or tens of billions of dollars to fight against their movie, I'm afraid no one can afford the loss.

At that time, Hollywood may become a global joke, and the gains outweigh the losses.

He hesitated for a moment.

Gustav finally said: "Mr. Lin, we actually have no other purpose, but for the long-term and stable development of Hollywood."

Lin Xuan said lightly: "What? With me here, Hollywood can't develop stably?"

Gustav said: "That's not the reason. Mr. Lin, you must know the real reason. It's like if a North American invests in the second world, you won't agree, right? But we don't want the two sides to make too much trouble. Stiff. How about this, let us make a small agreement, if you win, Second World Films will establish a foothold in Hollywood in the future, and there will be no second person to disagree. But if you lose, you will quit Hollywood. how?"

Lin Xuan asked, "What agreement?"

Gustav said: "Since we are in Hollywood, of course we are making movies. We will judge the outcome based on a movie we each shot. How about a showdown between the two sides? For example, I represent [-]th Century Fox Films Company, we both have to come up with a movie within three years, if your movie wins, Twentieth Century Fox will no longer participate in this matter.”

Oh?
Hearing this, Lin Xuan raised his eyebrows.

Use movies to decide the outcome?

After thinking for a few seconds, he showed a bright smile: "If I agree to your agreement, what about other companies?"

Gustav said: "I can only represent my film company, I cannot make decisions for other film companies."

Lin Xuan has not answered yet.

Many Second World employees almost cursed.

"Too shameless, isn't it?"

"Made, does this mean that unless Brother Xuan overthrows all the companies in Hollywood, can he gain a foothold in Hollywood?"

"Gustav: Lin Xuan, do you choose heads-up or group fight? Head-to-head means that we will fight you one by one, and group fight means that we will beat you in groups."

"I used to like Gustav in vain, but this guy turned out to be so insidious."

"It's really too much."

"There are hundreds of film companies in Hollywood, and dozens of first-class film companies. If every first-class film company produces a movie, Brother Xuan will be exhausted."

"It's not a matter of being exhausted or not. How big is the energy in Hollywood? Even if Brother Xuan is a god, he can't fight against such a force, okay? He won once, won twice, can win ten times?" Eight times? As long as Brother Xuan fails once, all previous efforts will be wasted."

"This is not giving Mr. Lin a chance to live!"

When they are slandering in their hearts.

Many other directors stood up one by one.

Gerald said: "I represent Universal Pictures to participate in this appointment."

Elton: "On behalf of DreamWorks, I will participate in this appointment."

Gabriel: "I represent Paramount at this appointment."

Jayce: "..."

Pete: "..."

Everyone stood up and stared at Lin Xuan.

Soon, more than [-] directors stood up, representing more than [-] top film companies in Hollywood.With these people, it doesn't matter whether other film companies have someone to stand up.

Because from everyone's point of view, the energy composed of more than [-] directors is enough to sweep the world.Among these people, even the least famous director is famous all over the world.

No other film company or individual can stand firm in the face of this force.

Lin Xuan blinked.

For a person of his age, seeing almost the world's top directors standing opposite him and staring at him, his legs would probably be weak.But Lin Xuan just smiled lightly, and asked again: "What will determine the outcome?"

Than the box office?
than word of mouth?
than the Oscars?

a movie.

There are many places to decide the outcome, not just the box office.

As soon as Lin Xuan finished speaking,

Gustav said in a deep voice, "My movie will compete with yours at the box office."

This Hollywood director is best at directing Hollywood blockbusters. The highest-grossing movie has 16 billion US dollars, ranking third in global film history.

Even the $12.5 billion box office of "Transformers" pales in comparison to this achievement.

So, of course he has to compete with Lin Xuan at the box office.

However, just when everyone felt that Gustav was shameless enough, the old man continued: "I must declare one more thing: the box office of the movie is only higher than the international box office, and the box office of China is not included."

Because he knew that Lin Xuan had too much appeal in Huaxia, and Huaxia's box office was too uncertain, so this hidden danger had to be eliminated.

Huang Ming was angry.

Ye Youlei was furious.

Guan Yuman narrowed his eyes.

Ye Tingyu's pretty face was covered with frost.

Do you want to bully people for this sake?
Lin Xuan stopped Ye Youlei, who was about to lose his temper, and looked at Gustav: "Yes, China's box office is not included."

Gustav smiled with satisfaction.

There is no China box office.

Lin Xuan no longer has the slightest potential threat.

Gerald looked at Lin Xuan and said, "Comparing my movie reputation with yours."

As a director who is good at making in-depth movies, Gerald's every movie has an excellent reputation, and has even won awards at major film festivals.Someone said: As long as it is Gerald's movie, word-of-mouth will definitely explode.

Therefore, he compared word of mouth with Lin Xuan.

Gabriel: "My movie, compare it to your Oscar."

Before that, Gabriel's every film was basically able to win awards at the Oscars, and no matter how bad it was, there would be nominations for awards.It is known as an Oscar regular.His films are always so easy to capture the hearts of the Oscar judges.

Therefore, he competed with Lin Xuan for the honor of the Oscar.

Elton: "I'll compare the box office with you."

Pitt: "I'm better than an Oscar."

Jayce: "..."

Everyone said what they are best at and competed with Lin Xuan.

Thirty-three directors.

Eleven decided to compete with Lin Xuan at the box office.

The highest box office is a director named Ferdinand. The "Lich King" directed by this director set a box office of 18.13 billion US dollars five years ago, ranking first in the history of the global box office, which is higher than Gustav's The strength is even stronger.The lowest-grossing director also has an $8 million movie to his name.This kind of lineup, anyone who sees it will tremble.

The eight decided to compare word of mouth with Lin Xuan.

Each of these people is a word-of-mouth director, and the film with the highest reputation has a score of 9.8 on Rotten Tomatoes.Even the movie with the lowest reputation has a score of 9 or more.

Fourteen people decided to compete with Lin Xuan for the Oscar honor.

Among this group of people, there are legendary directors who have won six or seven Oscars at one time, and there are also awesome figures who have been shortlisted for ten awards at one time.

All the top directors were dispatched.

Everyone's eyes are bright.

Waiting for Lin Xuan's reply.

The people around were already dumbfounded, many of them were dumbfounded and their scalps were numb.

God!

With such a lineup, how could Lin Xuan win?
Impossible to win!
Not to mention Lin Xuan, even if all other directors in the world are tied together, the probability of losing against these thirty-three directors is probably as high as [-]%.

The producers, screenwriters, and actors at the banquet all had huge waves in their hearts.

"My God, this lineup is invincible."

"The highest box office, the highest reputation, the best Oscar, all the most powerful directors shot together, what is this concept?"

"Lin Xuan will definitely refuse, definitely will refuse."

"Yes, a contest with no chance of winning is meaningless."

"Even if I'm a North American actor, I feel it's too unfair to Lin Xuan."

"Hush, whisper!"

Everyone whispered, with complex expressions.

Anthony frowned.

Cyril's face was ugly.

Adonis kept his mouth shut.

In such an occasion, even they have no way to intervene, they can only watch helplessly.

Guan Yuman couldn't control that much. She suppressed her anger and gritted her teeth: "This is a blatant bully! Tell me how Lin Xuan can compare with so many people? If he can win once, can he win more than [-] times in a row? ? He won the box office this time, can he win the word of mouth next time? He won the word of mouth, can he win the Oscar next time? Too much!"

Even if Guan Yuman believes in Lin Xuan again.

Even if she knew that Lin Xuan had created too many miracles.

But in front of so many legendary directors, in front of such a group of the world's top directors, no matter how good Lin Xuan is, he can't stand it.

In particular, what makes Guan Yuman's blood spurt the most is that she is well aware of the nature of the capital behind these Hollywood. It is estimated that so many duels, as long as Lin Xuan loses once, all previous efforts will be wasted.

Huang Ming lost his voice: "This means that Brother Xuan can't lose even once in so many duels."

Ye Youlei yelled, "Don't say you can't lose once, it's hard to win even once." '

Yes.

It's hard to win even once.

However, just when everyone felt that Lin Xuan would refuse without hesitation.

I saw Lin Xuan suddenly evoked a faint smile, he glanced at everyone in the banquet hall, and his voice spread throughout the audience: "Excuse me, besides the thirty-three directors in front of me, is there anyone else who wants to participate in this appointment?" ?”

The crowd was in an uproar.

Many people rolled their eyes, do you think there are not enough people?

Then I heard Gustav say: "There are people like us, it is enough."

Lin Xuan didn't seem to appreciate it, and waved his hand: "Everyone who can participate, don't let the film companies that didn't participate regret it after I make an agreement with you."

"..."

Gustav resisted the tumbling in his heart, and said in a deep voice: "Mr. Lin, I can guarantee that as long as you can defeat us thirty-three, then no individual or company in Hollywood will embarrass your second world."

This is what Lin Xuan wanted.

He laughed loudly, and said under everyone's dull eyes: "Okay! If that's the case, I agree to this agreement!"

moment.

Countless noises sounded.

"Lin Xuan agreed?"

"He actually agreed?"

"Where did he get the courage?"

"Damn it, bull!"

"He's not a cow, he's a fool."

Gustav and the other directors looked at each other, and everyone had bright smiles on their faces.

Lin Xuan!

Finally hooked!
This means that Second World Films is destined to leave Hollywood in the near future.

Because all of them knew that no one could beat the thirty-three of them in such a duel!

No one has this ability!

Is Lin Xuan's "Transformers" high enough at the box office?Word-of-mouth is okay, right?
But in the face of the movies these people have made, none of them can win.

Whether it's box office, word of mouth, Oscar honors or any other item...all are at the level of being beaten, and they are completely ineligible to compare with Gustav and the others.

This is strength.

In the face of absolute strength, Lin Xuan's magical aura is useless no matter how magical it is.

Gustav smiled and continued: "Okay, since Mr. Lin agreed to our duel. Then let me confirm with you first: my movie will be released in the second half of this year, and you can compare it with me at the box office. When will the film be shot? When will it be released? Since I was the first to fight you, Second World Films cannot have any other films released internationally until you beat me."

Gerald: "My movie will be broadcast this Christmas. When will you come up with a movie that compares with my reputation? I will be the second to fight against you."

Gabriel: "I'm the third."

Elton: "My fourth."

Take turns one by one.

More than [-] people, more than [-] movies.

Even if Lin Xuan shoots a movie in half a year, it will take fifteen years to complete the competition, and he can't lose once.

Everyone looked terrified.

Even many Hollywood actors sweated for Lin Xuan.

"Lin Xuan is dead."

"How does this compare?"

"Even if Lin Xuan wins one or two games by chance, he still won't be able to pass the level."

"The key is to go on like this, it's no wonder Lin Xuan is not crazy."

Everyone stared at Lin Xuan.

Thousands of eyes were shot on him.

However, they didn't see any tension on Lin Xuan's face, and there was still a faint smile on his face.

next second.

Lin Xuan said: "Mr. Gustav, why bother? I will challenge and confront you one by one, so I have to challenge until the year of the monkey?"

Gustav said: "Oh? How do you want to compare?"

Lin Xuan said: "It's very simple, you all go up together!"

Gustav didn't respond for a moment: "What do you mean?"

Lin Xuan said indifferently: "It is to use a movie to determine the winner. I will take out a movie and have a big showdown with the movies of more than [-] of you. Comparing the box office, word of mouth, and Oscars... You can choose from Among the more than [-] movies, the movie with the highest box office, the movie with the best reputation, and the movie with the most Oscar awards, as long as one of my movies loses to any of your movies, I will be considered a loser. But if your Nothing in the movie can compare to my movie, even if I win. You see, in this way, we don’t need to compare many times, and we can finish it once. You can save worry, and I can worry less, how simple!"

boom!
The voice did not fall.

The scene has exploded.

Gustav's eyes were round.

Gerald spat out his drink.

Gabriel nearly choked on his own spit.

Elton, who was walking, staggered and almost fell.

"God?"

"what?"

"what did he say?"

"Lin Xuan said to only make one movie and use it to compete with more than [-] directors?"

"What the hell!"

"Is he crazy or am I crazy?"

"Fuck! F*ck! F*ck!"

There was an exclamation in the banquet hall.

Almost everyone was shocked by Lin Xuan's words and their brains were buzzing.

Even Gustav thought he heard it wrong, he frowned and asked again: "Mr. Lin, are you serious?"

Lin Xuan said: "Of course it is serious, it's so simple."

Many people vomit blood: "You just want to be simple?"

Gustav said seriously: "This is not a joke."

Lin Xuan said: "I'm not kidding."

Gustav took a deep breath: "Okay, since that's the case, we are waiting for your good movie!"

While speaking, the legendary Hollywood director couldn't help but roll his eyes.If he hadn't cultivated himself well, he would have shown a mocking expression long ago.

If it was really Lin Xuan's words, in his opinion, it was simply ridiculous.

In the history of film, there has never been a so-called perfect film, and it is impossible to have a perfect film.

If a movie wants to have a high box office, it must take a commercial route, but its reputation is difficult to get high, and even many plots seem empty and misunderstood, just to bring out other wonderful aspects, so that the box office can reach the highest.

If a movie has a good reputation, it must lose a lot of commercial elements, which will cause the box office to fail.Even for a movie with a good reputation like "Transformers", its reputation is only good, and it is far from the top.It even now has a rating of 8.9 on Rotten Tomatoes and 8.3 on Douban.Compared with many movies with a score of 9 or more, it is not a word-of-mouth level at all.

As for a film winning an Oscar, it is even more difficult.Because Oscar judges have always sneered at commercial films, and even have a dislike for many films with good reputation.These harsh judges have their own principles. For a movie to win an award, it must be enough to touch their hearts, be novel enough, profound enough, shocking enough... and word of mouth and box office are not the criteria for winning.

and so.

On the global movie list, there has never been a movie that can kill at the box office, word of mouth, and honor.

Can't do it!
Impossible!
If you want box office, it's hard to get word of mouth.

If you want word of mouth, it will be difficult to get box office.

It is even more difficult for you to get an Oscar.

But now, Lin Xuan actually boasted that he would come up with a movie and compete with more than [-] top Hollywood directors.

Better than box office, better than word of mouth, better than Oscar.

Is this taking them for fools?

Many directors whispered.

"Lin Xuan is joking?"

"It's not like that."

"But if it's not a joke, how dare he use a movie to confront us all?"

"Is he a fool, or is he a fool for us?"

"Could it be that he felt that he had no chance of winning, so he did this?"

"..."

Some people find it incredible.

Some people have ridiculous faces.

Some people were irritated: "Fake, Lin Xuan can't be crazy, and he can't be stupid. He is so stupid for us. Now that everyone doesn't have to show mercy to him, everyone must call this arrogant and hateful The guy, rub it hard on the ground. Then kick his company out of Hollywood!"

Too embarrassing!

Too arrogant!
How did Lin Xuan be so arrogant?
How dare you fight all of them with just one movie?Showdown at the box office?Duel word of mouth?Against the Oscars?

Not to mention the directors are boiling.

Everyone at the scene showed strong shock on their faces.

Only Lin Xuan didn't seem to feel how arrogant and outrageous his words were, and there was still a faint smile on his face at the moment.

However, he was thinking viciously in his heart: "Made, you actually want to drive me out of Hollywood? Labor and management won't torture you guys out of shit this time, labor and management are not Lin!"
