Is there a genius in the world? This is a difficult question to answer, or rather, there are only people who are born with good talents, and there is no such thing as people who are born with talents.

"Yi, you are really an amazing genius!" When Gusta, the Lion Gate boss with a mustache, saw Yi Feiyang, he immediately said a sentence of admiration that made Yi Feiyang blush.

Is there a genius? Am I a genius?

Yi Feiyang shook his head silently, and said very self-knowingly, "Where can I be considered a genius?" Just lucky. ”

"No, no, easy, you're too modest!" Gusta smiled: "Aren't you a genius to be able to turn the sky upside down with one hand, make billions of profits in the futures market at once, and make us partners make a lot of money?" And now, you just said a casual word, and the movie promotion turned upside down, and even Warner and New Line can only watch, only envy, don't you think this is shocking enough? ”

"Hehe, let's sit down and talk first!" Yi Feiyang could only laugh at Gusta's praise, "You are also a nobleman, you are busy, you have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, let's say, what is the matter?" ”

"Hehe, I was still seen by you, so I said, the person who knows me best in this world, except for my family, is you!" Gusta sat down, pulled out a cigar, "Do you know the way, easy, I'll get straight to the point...... My company is also experiencing a bottleneck! ”

Stuck in a bottleneck?

That means that the company's growth has been hindered.

In fact, Lionsgate always bets on small films that are produced or cost less. Then go to market. But Lionsgate also relied heavily on cash from the industry's largest studios and television libraries to keep the company going. It's a clever business plan, and Gusta has been working so well, but the problem now is that Lionsgate has been too successful — many of Lionsgate's films are made and promoted for less than $20 million, and it's skyrocketing at minimal cost compared to the average $100 million in the film industry.

Due to the high stakes involved in production, Lionsgate typically only buys finished arthouse films. Even as long as the production cost is more than 20 million. The company will not be considered. But as the sales market shrinks, and many new film libraries are in a "purchasing power shortage", how Lions continues to grow, the choice of development path, Lions Gate now has two options for development, one is to follow the underlying trend and start making blockbusters, the so-called "model", and the other is to expand through the acquisition of related industries, such as television companies, in any case, both of which will encounter the same fundamental risk: they will put Lionsgate into a large-scale trap. And that was never Gusta's intention.

"Yi, I need your help. Yes, much needed! If Lionsgate continues to follow the old model, sooner or later it will encounter a crisis because the production is too simple...... To be honest, I want to expand the company, but you also know that all kinds of resources in Hollywood are very sought-after today, whether it is in the field of TV or theaters, fantasy entertainment is in front of Lionsgate, and your existence makes it impossible for me to show my hands and feet! Gusta smiled bitterly, "So, I only have the last trick to use, and that is to come over and ask you in person, leave a little theater for me, and make Lionsgate strong." ”

When Gusta said this, he felt his cheeks burn. Although he has been spicy in his work since the accident, he can't help but blush in the face of Yi Feiyang.

You must know that Lu Dao, this time Yi Feiyang invested in futures and made a big profit, Lionsgate did not lose a penny, and when the money was in hand, he planned to expand the company, but the biggest obstacle was Dream Entertainment, which made Gusta very bitter, so he had to be cheeky to make peace, hoping that Yi Feiyang could let go and let himself complete the expansion plan.

After listening to Gusta's words, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but feel funny, there are everyone in this world, but Yi Feiyang still said very sincerely: "No problem, I can give you some of the theater chain......"

"Ah, what? Dear Yi, what you said is true? Oh God, that's great! Gusta was overjoyed, and didn't wake up to Yi Feiyang's willingness to help.

Seeing that Gusta almost jumped up with joy, Yi Feiyang was secretly happy in his heart, grandma's, if it weren't for the fact that Dream swallowed too many theaters this time, it would have attracted the attention of the American antitrust organization, and he would not easily throw these theaters to Lionsgate, friends to friends, and business to business, right?

"But in terms of price, ......"

"Oh, that's no problem, easy, as long as you're willing to help, it's okay how much money you have."

"Hehe, then I'm welcome, when the time comes, I will kill you, don't cry......" Yi Feiyang gave him a vaccination first, and he had already made up his mind to earn more interest.

Gusta said for a rare time, "Don't worry, I'm ready to be slaughtered!" After saying this, Gusta suddenly said: "By the way, I have already found the person you asked me to help you find, but I really don't understand, how can you suddenly be interested in the director of the documentary?" ”

Yi Feiyang smiled, "It's very simple, because I want to shoot a documentary!" ”

When Gusta heard this, he couldn't help but be stunned, "You want to make a documentary?" Isn't it about ......?"

Yi Feiyang nodded, knowing that Gusta had already guessed.

Gusta slapped his head, "God, you preempted it again, but now this kind of thing is very sensitive, I hope you don't regret it......"

"Hehe, I, Yi Feiyang, never regret it!" The corners of Yi Feiyang's mouth curled and smiled.

……

The documentary filmmaker that Gusta helped introduce was called "Mike Moore".

Mike Moore is a director and writer whose work, both in film and in books, is known for his sharp critique of reality, and he has always been concerned with politics, and when he was young, he did not simply regard suffrage as others, but cherished organizing campaigns. Since his debut novel, Roger and I, he has been faithfully documenting the current state of American society with his camera and pen. Although his books have also topped the sales charts, his genius is more in movies......

At least Yi Feiyang knows that this Mike Moore is definitely the "king" of the future documentary field!

But now Mike Moore is only slightly better-known. It's not quite the level of amazing genius in the previous life. In front of Yi Feiyang. He even seemed a little nervous and restrained. After all, Yi Feiyang has been famous for a long time, and this time he is famous in Hollywood, it can be said that he has a great aura, and it is no wonder that Mike Moore is not nervous.

"Moore, is it? Have you read the script I gave you? Yi Feiyang asked straight to the point.

"Of course, I've been preparing for a long time." Moore nodded, took out a folded document from his pocket, then pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said, "This script is really impeccable, I've read it dozens of times." The only feeling is real, sensational, and, of course, moving! ”

He handed over the document and said: "Although the United States has a strong creative freedom, and the filming of documentaries is subsidized and protected by many policies, but this time it is different, the "Fahrenheit 911" you are going to shoot is revealing the scar, yes, the scar has just healed a little. Do you feel the need to uncover it so quickly? ”

Yes, the United States is an advocate of creative freedom. But this subject is really too sensitive, especially at such a juncture, is it appropriate to let the American people taste pain again?

"You don't have to worry about that." Yi Feiyang nodded and said. "The United States is a great country, I believe that the American people are absolutely strong, yes, the reason why we made this documentary, not because we want to uncover the scars, but more importantly, from the political, economic and other aspects of this disaster, its causes and consequences, how it happened, how to put an end to it in the future......"

Yi Feiyang did not say another reason, in his previous life, the documentary "Fahrenheit 911" won the Cannes Palme d'Or, and the box office was also very good.

"So what about time, you know, documentaries are basically very time-consuming, yes, sometimes in order to show the real footage, it takes months or even a year......" Mike Moore is most worried about this, afraid that Yi Feiyang will urge himself to deliver, and documentaries are different from ordinary movies, it is OK to finish the story, on the contrary, it requires tracing the facts, requiring the most real side to be shown in front of people, not to mention such a big theme documentary.

"Time, I'll give you three years at most, yes, in three years, I want you to finish filming this documentary, how about it?"

"Three years? Thank you for believing in me! Mike Moore hurriedly said, in fact, in Moore's opinion, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can get it in one or two years or even a little shorter, and three years is of course too much relaxation.

In fact, the reason why Yi Feiyang is so bold to give the other party three years is because this documentary will involve many sharp policies of President George W. Bush on the Middle East after the 911 incident in the future, and give sharp criticism of these policies, and that is also the biggest feature of leftist director Mike Moore.

"What about funding?" Moore skipped the question and went straight to another important point. It is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice, and no matter how good the director is, it is useless if he has no money to start work.

"You don't have to worry about the funds, you can go directly to the investment department, I have already explained, your budget for this documentary is 10 million US dollars, I think this number can help you complete this drama...... Of course, if there is a need for additional funds during the filming, you can just mention it, and we will discuss it according to the facts. ”

Hearing Yi Feiyang say this, Moore was finally relieved, as a director, what he is most afraid of is being stuck in his throat with funds, although 10 million is not too much, but for the filming of documentaries, the amount is not small, Moore is confident that he will use these funds to complete this work.

"There is the last question, what about the actors? You know, although the documentary is based on real events, sometimes some actors are still needed to accompany it. ”

"It's up to you to choose, after all, I'm not very familiar with the filming techniques of documentaries." Yi Feiyang chose the transfer of power, and let Moore keep everything busy.

"Okay, then please give me three days, and I'll take care of everything." Moore retracted his worries and said with a smile.

"Time is not a problem, in short, I will wait for your good news." Yi Feiyang said with a smile.

"Okay, I will definitely do a good job and will not disappoint you." Moore was even more relieved at this time.

"Remember, the play has to be sharp, it's realistic. The main thing is: Be sure to document the facts with the camera. Look at American politics with a critical eye! Yi Feiyang said earnestly.

"Huh?" Moore paused for a moment, then thought carefully.

Seeing him like this, Yi Feiyang continued to click: "Also, the story of this documentary is not complicated, our key is to shoot the truth, of course, the effect of stunts also needs to be pursued, especially the place where the World Trade Center collapsed." It is even more important that you can find the best picture of the original shot, and replace it with special effects where you can't. I hope you can think about it in advance, and it's best to make this documentary so that people can't help but cry, cry, and think about it at the end. ”

"It's good, I'll think about it carefully." Moore said deeply, "Boss, I've only found out now that your movies can always have such a good reputation, it turns out that all this is the result of your strict requirements!" ”

"Hehe, maybe!" Yi Feiyang blinked. He smiled and said, "Besides, it's a good thing for everyone!" You tell me? ”

"Hmm." Moore answered. Then he affirmed, "Now that I need to go back and sort out my upcoming work, what else do you need to order?" ”

"No, it's still the same sentence, I'm waiting for your good news." Yi Feiyang said lightly.

Mike Moore nodded, and then left Dream Entertainment with trepidation. It's just that when he got out of the elevator, he was a little stunned, because he saw that Mr. President's personal bodyguard actually came here.

Of course, these things have nothing to do with him, so he is just confused.

“…… That's the way the publicity has been lately, making sure that Sparta will be released on time for Christmas next month...... If there is a shortage of manpower, it can be drawn from within the company, in short, the top priority is to prepare for the premiere, theater arrangements and other matters...... "Yi Feiyang discussed the premiere with Fat Jack very carefully.

"Ding Ding ......"

The doorbell rang instead. This made Yi Feiyang a little angry, but also a little confused. You must know that this is the president's office, and when someone comes to him, it must be a female secretary who knocks on the door gently, and rarely uses the doorbell, because Yi Feiyang doesn't like the noisy sound of the doorbell.

"Alright, you take a break! I'm going to see who's coming. After Yi Feiyang finished speaking, he stood up, straightened his clothes, and then opened the door......

I saw a man in black standing outside, wearing sunglasses, cool. Yi Feiyang has seen many of this shape, but he is not surprised.

"This gentleman, ...... you?"

"Here's my ID." The tall and cold man in black took out a somewhat reflective license plate with a red stamp from his body, and an obvious 'US' made Yi Feiyang feel a little relieved, and said with a smile, "You were sent by the White House?" ”

"Yes, I'm His Excellency the President's bodyguard, and I'm sorry to disturb you at this time...... However, the president has something very important to ask you for, so I would like to ask you to come over. The man in black said very politely, for this very legendary Chinese, he still maintained due courtesy, if it was an ordinary person, his attitude was not like this.

Yi Feiyang didn't expect that the current US President George W. Bush would invite him to meet him, shrugged his shoulders, and said to the fat man Jack behind him: "The rest is up to you, it looks like I'm going on a long trip to New York...... Oh yes, is there anything I need to piggyback on for you? A pie over there in New York, or a hamburger?! ”

The fat man sticks out his tongue and takes the test, he can be personally invited by the President of the United States, and he talks and laughs lightly, and it is estimated that he is the only one who is Yi Boss.

Although escorted by bodyguards from the White House, Yi Feiyang still habitually arranged for private bodyguards to follow. The other party also seems to know about the last assassination of Yi Feiyang, so he didn't raise any objections to him arranging bodyguards to follow, although Yi Feiyang obviously expressed "distrust" to them by doing this, but there is no way, who made Yi Feiyang the guest of honor that the president insisted on inviting? !

I have been the president's bodyguard for so long, and we have invited many celebrities, but none of them are as urgent as inviting Yi Feiyang, it seems that the president attaches great importance to this person, so as the entourage and subordinates of the president, these bodyguards also maintain a certain degree of respect.

Those whom the president respects, he must respect even more!

This is the simplest political law.

……

The black suit drove a military Humvee, the kind with a red head, and it was simply rampant along the way. And Yi Feiyang, who is behind him, of course, is not afraid of any traffic rules, and is also following the rampage. In this way, they quickly arrived at the airport, and then, without the so-called security check, the two people directly got on a military helicopter and flew towards Washington "whirring".

The White House is located at 00 Pennsylvania Avenue in the heart of downtown Washington. It is bordered by Lafayette Square to the north, Elips Park to the south, and the towering Washington Monument is a white two-story building.

He does not have the majesty of the Forbidden City in Beijing, nor the luxury and nobility of the British Imperial Palace, but its influence in the world is undoubtedly the most eye-catching.

Many celebrities in the world are proud to be invited to the White House, and they are even more proud to have lunch with Mr. President, but this is not a pride and pride for Yi Feiyang, who has had dinner and breakfast with the chief, but a burden and trouble.

Revisiting the old place, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but sigh a lot.

Yi Feiyang once came to the White House once, but that was the moment when US President Clinton was the last to take power, and Yi Feiyang's impression of the White House was just like that, magnificent and tall, with a gorgeous interior and simplicity. But now, the owner has changed here, and it seems that the surrounding environment has also changed, probably due to the impact of terrorist attacks, three steps and one post, five steps and one sentry, so that it has become more solemn and serious, giving people a sense of oppression.

The president's office is an oval office, and after going through strict security checks, Yi Feiyang finally met the newly appointed US President George W. Bush, who is also a representative of the hawkish presidents in the United States and a leader in the Republican Party.

Bush Jr.'s health at this time was obviously not very good, his face was a little pale, and even his eyes revealed a trace of exhaustion. One can imagine how much impact the previous events such as the collapse of the World Trade Center in New York had on him.

In fact, it is true, for more than a month, he has not even slept well a few times, and every time he is woken up by the phone, it is something very important, the CIA, Congress, and the National Security Agency, almost everything that can be linked to "national security" needs his approval and approval.

George W. Bush was really tired, he never thought that he would encounter such a thing not long after he took over this stall, which was simply the biggest test for himself.

As soon as he thought of the series of anxious things he was facing, Bush Jr. felt a pain in his eyes. But it's both an opportunity and a challenge. Under the current circumstances, many policies that the radicals could not achieve have all been passed in Congress, and it seems that the American people, who were accustomed to being the masters of the Taiping world, have finally been awakened by the enemy's shells and understand how much the country needs to be tough and must not be soft on terrorists.

However, before dealing with these political events, George W. Bush must meet this young man, who is known as the "Emperor of Miracles," because he is so strong that he even surpasses himself...... (To be continued......)

PS: The title of the book has been changed, "Femdom Hollywood" has become "Hollywood Tyrant", I hope everyone will get used to it, and the content of this book will also develop towards the tyrant side, the last one, thank you for your support, thank you!
