The king of all people

Chapter 290 Shocking news from the United States

EMI Records Headquarters.

It is an eternal truth that paper cannot contain fire. Even if Yang Yang kept his mouth shut, he still lost to the current Internet channels where news spreads ten thousand and ten thousand.

EMI's high-level contacts did not have any effect. Just when the MV of "Promised Happiness" had just finished recording, the news spread throughout the studio.

"On the Internet, Baidu Music is the only one that doesn't provide any resources related to "Music Everywhere". All other music portals, large and small, have placed this album in the most prominent position on their homepages to attract traffic...they Not only does it provide online trial listening, netizens can also download high and low quality versions for free. We immediately negotiated with these agents, but almost without exception, we were flatly rejected."

He Xueyao let out a deep breath, Ji Fan couldn't say anything about being angry now, he, the music director, naturally had to stand up and preside over the overall situation.

"Damn it, I know who did the good thing, so I decided not to spare him!" The fiery Xiao Rui glared at him, biting his lower lip fiercely with his teeth, and the hairs all over his body stood on end as if on fire.Although he is only a full-time driver, no matter how stupid he is, he still understands the devastating blow of the album leak to an album that has just opened for pre-order...

Yang Yang walked back and forth in the house, following Li Xian in the entertainment circle for two years, he has long recognized the darkness and turbidity in this circle and the "cold state of the world". From project approval to recording to production of "Everywhere", except for this group of people inside the company, the only one who has the right to obtain the master tape source is the manufacturer responsible for approving the album...

However, even if there is a faint doubt in my heart, if there is not enough evidence for this kind of thing, the other party can use such high-sounding excuses as "the master tape was leaked during the delivery process, and your company is self-hyping to create a topic" to prevaricate itself.

He glanced worriedly at Li Xian, who had been "silent" since he got the news, Yang Yang instinctively thought that the morale of the iron buddies had been hit by this sudden accident... stepped forward and patted his broad shoulders, Relieved: "Daxian, you, hey... If you are upset in your heart, just say it, we all understand your feelings."

As soon as the words fell, the 7 or 8 people sitting in the room all looked at Li Xian.If it were any singer, if he encountered this kind of nonsense at the moment of releasing a new album, he would definitely feel better in his heart...

But...if they found out that Li Xian was actually concentrating on doing another thing while keeping his head silent, they wondered if they would vomit blood and die in a rage.

"Director Ang Lee, did they really say that?" Using his mind to communicate with the astrology system, Li Xian activated the new function "Internet chat" after the system woke up, chatting with Ang Lee who was separated by tens of thousands of miles and only met once. .

An hour ago, the astrology system sent him a reminder message like a corpse. After opening the simulation system in his mind, he found that he had received an email from Director Ang Lee a minute ago.Out of curiosity, Li Xian clicked the open button without hesitation...

As a result, from the outside world, there appeared the illusion that he was deep in thought because he was in a bad mood.

"Yes, Brother Li! You should have seen the American version of The Ring at Midnight? That's right, it's Gore Verbinski! Although he is far more famous in the advertising industry than in the film industry, but As a friend who is familiar with each other, I am very aware of his shocking ability to direct movies! Didn’t I ask you for part of "Tomb Raider Notes" when I was in Taiwan last time? When I returned to the United States three days ago, the first thing I did was Give him the book..."

Although the two were communicating through text, the shock and joy revealed between the lines of Li An was really obvious.

You know, the United States is the world's largest film and television base. Since Hollywood movies have swept the world, they have become very self-esteemed and look down on films made in other countries.Even some excellent foreign-language films that have won awards in major film festivals are dismissed by American filmmakers.Even Ang Lee himself, because he studied in the U.S., developed his film career in the U.S. many years ago, and after so many days and nights of hard work, he barely managed to gain a firm foothold. .

In the United States, they have a deep-rooted idea in their hearts that only American and Hollywood-made movies are visual feasts worth watching...

Of course, not only movies, but even various cultural fields such as literature and music, works produced abroad are usually regarded as garbage in the United States.Don’t you see, how many celebrities who have won the Nobel Prize in Literature in later generations, even if they have won the highest honor in this palace of literature, they still cannot open up the "high-minded" market in the United States...

However, what Ang Li never dreamed of was that after he gave Gore Verbinski the book "Tomb Raiders Notebook" created by Li Xian to read, he would feel like he couldn't wait to read it less than three hours later. Actively contacted myself!Opening his mouth and shutting his mouth, he asked him, who is the author who wrote this work... That funny expression was like an old monk who hadn't had any contact with a woman for decades, and his eyes were as wretched as golden hair after he returned to vulgarity.

After receiving Li An's affirmative answer, Li Xian immediately became a little happy.He even felt a rush of motivation... He has never watched the American version of "Midnight Ring", but Gore Verbinski knows it very well!
From the first day of the global release in 2003, in just a few weeks, a large group of Star Wars fans and Superman fans, fanatical and loyal pirate fan groups have been created, with rave reviews and hot box office. Over 6 million U.S. dollars have been raked in worldwide!
According to the conversion ratio of RMB to US dollars at that time, the final box office of this commercial blockbuster that pioneered a generation of adventure themes unexpectedly exceeded 50 billion RMB!Such a huge astronomical figure not only made Gore Verbinski and the leading actors earn a lot of money, but also made their fame soar to a particularly terrifying level within a few weeks.

"That's it, are you free recently? Director Gore means that he wants to meet with you in the near future. I can see that he has very strong emotions for you. Come on, young man, this is really a A once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!" Seeing that Li Xian hadn't replied for a long time, Li An couldn't wait to type out a long list of morale-boosting words.

Frankly speaking, Li An and I were just ordinary friends with the same surname at best, but for some reason, Li An couldn't even figure out why he was so urgent, and wanted to do his best to help this kid's career!
Perhaps, this is the eagerness of love...

"..." Li Xian looked at the news that popped up continuously on the virtual screen a little speechlessly, and once again felt the extraordinary enthusiasm of Li An from the other side of the ocean.Thoughts control the astrology system, and the "crackling" reply: "Thank you Director Li, I... I am as excited as you are now, please tell Director Gore for me, I will leave for the United States after finishing my recent work." trip."

Li Xian could tell that Li An hadn't hidden anything from himself on this matter.In other words, when Gore Verbinski found him, he only entrusted Ang Lee to convey his intention to invite him to the United States for a meeting.As for whether to discuss matters related to "Tomb Raiders Notes" or other matters, the other party hardly mentioned it.

Li Xian guessed for a while, since the other party took a fancy to "Tomb Raider Notes", he invited himself to the United States to discuss the copyright operation of this book. If the cooperation is successful, the other party may adapt this novel into The film of the same name.

Reminiscent of the arrogance and arrogance of Hollywood filmmakers, Li Xian doubts whether the other party will put his own name, that is, the original author's name, on it if they make "Tomb Raider Notes" into a movie.The Hollywood film model is one chief screenwriter and multiple deputy chief editors. If the other party is willing to let me participate in the work of adapting the novel, then I will definitely become one of the screenwriters of this movie...

Once this happens, his acting career will be completely unpredictable.After all, Chinese screenwriters appear on the credits list of Hollywood movies. After the news is announced, I am afraid that the entire Chinese language industry, including the American entertainment industry, will be completely boiled!

After finishing the chat with Li An, Li Xian temporarily put this matter behind him.Now, even if you think about it, you still have no way to accurately guess the other party's mind.Anyway, the big deal is to go to the United States for nothing, and then it will be regarded as a trip after work...

Sooner or later, he will have to make a living in Hollywood. Finding out the way to that place one day earlier will only do more good than harm for his future career development.Thinking of this, Li Xian smiled faintly, turned off the light screen of the virtual system in his mind, shook his stiff head and returned to reality.

Li Xian raised his head slowly, and at the first sight he saw 7 or 8 sad-faced guys surrounding the room.

……

After thinking about it carefully, he remembered the news that the album ""Everywhere"" had been leaked in advance before he entered the system.Like him, the people present put all their efforts into this album, and even the life and death of EMI Greater China were involved...

"Everyone, don't be sullen. If you leak it, let it leak..." Li Xian stood up from his seat and said in a tone that he thought was relatively calm.What he meant was to let the group of partners not worry about him, and he didn't become passive and negligent because of this incident.

Who knows, it's okay if I don't speak, but once I speak, it seems that the tear glands of this group of people are completely broken.
