Chapter 612

~6 min read 1,077 words

While shouting "don't fight," he didn't make a single move, and even the security guards on both sides were just watching the show.

"Barkley, you bastard, you dare to make a move? Fine, it just so happens I haven't settled the score from last time."

"O'Neal, I've long been sick of you, acting cute and young on live broadcasts all day long. A few years ago, I could body-slam you."

"I can still do it now."

"Shit, go to hell."

"Let's see who dies."

"..."

The scene was once very explosive; I heard O'Neal and Barkley started fighting on a live program.

The Americans, who had nothing to do all day, started watching one after another.

Fox Cable TV was laughing so hard their teeth were about to fall out.

Originally, they just wanted to hype up the movie they invested in and gave quite a bit of performance fees.

They hoped the two would put in some effort, but they didn't expect the two to seem to have started a real fire while pretending.

This is a good thing.

Fox TV didn't care about that much; as long as you two don't die, anything goes.

Anyway, we have insurance.

Fight as you please.

We'll pay the medical bills; the copyright fees alone will be quite a lot.

Other TV stations saw this operation and thought:

Shouldn't we learn from this?

You can invite O'Neal and Barkley; we can invite Kevin Garnett and Anthony.

Hehe, there is real bad blood between those two.

Americans know quite a bit about the "cuckold" incident.

And it's not limited to the sports circle.

There are plenty of other circles: the socialite circle, the singer circle...

These circles have plenty of arch-rivals.

To be honest, the US is much more open when it comes to entertainment.

You can curse as you please; as long as you aren't targeting minors or small animals, you can say whatever you want.

You can even curse the President.

And Hollywood has always been at odds with the White House.

In movies, you can often see the White House being blown up, or the blame being shifted to the US government.

Things like government inaction, deliberate concealment, Area 51, etc.

How should one explain this behavior? Because California actually doesn't like the US government very much.

They are always talking about independence.

Hollywood is their banner.

Don't think the US government can do anything to Hollywood.

I'll tell you directly: it's useless. Governments come and go, but Hollywood is eternal.

The US can change a government, but I've never seen anyone willing to replace Hollywood.

And Hollywood has a very good relationship with the military.

Haven't you seen that many male leads are retired special forces soldiers? So they don't care about them at all.

Qin Yu and Warner were overjoyed; you can argue as much as you want, we don't mind at all.

Why wouldn't we want free publicity?

Just a few days later, amidst the noise.

The press conference for Pirates of the Caribbean 1: The Curse of the Black Pearl was finally grandly held at Warner Plaza.

Hundreds of well-known media outlets from all over the world arrived.

Qin Yu's new movie this time attracted global attention, and on top of that, everyone had been arguing like crazy these past few days.

Reporters were desperate to know what Qin Yu really thought.

This was entirely a matter of heaven or hell in a single thought.

If successful, flowers, applause, and fame—the reporters would lift Qin Yu to the heavens.

But if you fail, sorry, we reporters also need to make money.

Since we can't praise you, we'll trample you hard, trampling Qin Yu into the dirt.

PS: First update!

313 Qin Yu with a big heart, the jealousy and grief of the leads, the world's eyes focused. Jack is about to be ruined.

To be honest, in this situation, the psychological pressure on Qin Yu as a director can be imagined.

Originally, the actors thought so too.

But when they arrived at the hotel, they found it wasn't the case at all.

Depp, Olsen, Hopkins, Quentin, and others arrived at the hotel; before coming, they thought Qin Yu would probably have a very serious and nervous expression.

They didn't expect him to be slowly drinking coffee.

He even had time to tease Dai Lin on the side.

It seemed he wasn't affected by the outside world at all.

These past few days, as soon as they turned on the TV, they would see people arguing about whether Qin Yu's new movie could succeed.

There were simply too many such programs; as actors in this movie, they were nervous just watching them.

They didn't expect Qin Yu, as the director, investor, and lead, to be so calm.

"You're here, sit wherever." Qin Yu looked at everyone and smiled.

"Everyone is an acquaintance, so I won't introduce you; get to know each other if you want."

"Okay, Qin Dao."

"Yes, Qin Dao."

"..."

Quentin quickly pulled Depp aside and whispered.

"Depp, do you think Qin is faking it, or is he serious? It's chaotic outside."

"Perhaps he really is confident; I've read the entire script, and it's written very well."

As the lead, Depp was qualified to read the entire script.

The others didn't have this privilege.

"Depp, you're still young. Actually, when deciding the quality of a movie, the script can only account for thirty to forty percent at most."

"This is what a professor at the California Institute of the Arts said."

A faint mockery appeared on Depp's face.

"Quentin, did you forget that this professor also said one thing."

"What?"

"If the script isn't good, then the movie shot will definitely not be good; this thirty percent determines one hundred percent of the movie's quality."

Quentin was suddenly at a loss for words.

Thinking about it carefully, it was true; the script is like the foundation of a house. How beautiful or luxurious the house built on top is, the foundation can't determine.

However, if the foundation isn't laid well, then no matter how exquisitely you decorate the house.

A gust of wind blows, and perhaps nothing will be left.

The script is the lower limit of a movie; as for how high the upper limit is, it depends on the director, the actors, and all other factors.

"Fine, you win."

"Qin, can you not do this? So many people are watching."
