As an atheist, Zhang Dongcheng didn’t think euthanasia was a big deal. He might as well die peacefully if he was immersed in a major incurable disease. He even sympathized with the doctors and their families who were arrested for helping patients who were dying of pain to euthanize them.

Imagine being unable to move all day long, unable to even lift a finger, or being tortured by severe pain every day, from morning to night without stopping until death, Zhang Dongcheng would feel shuddering.

But he thinks this way, but it doesn’t mean that others think the same way, especially the huge influence of Christianity in the United States.

Change the content of the script and remake it? As soon as Zhang Dongcheng had this thought in his mind, he immediately overturned it. This is not "Rocky". This is a movie about love and being loved, giving up and pursuing. If you change the ending, the structure of this movie will be reduced to inferior, and it will not be liked by American audiences with tricky tastes.

Otherwise, try another film company. Zhang Dongcheng took a deep breath, made up his mind, and walked towards the second film company.

Warner Bros. Pictures (WarnerBrosPictures) was founded by the four brothers Harry Morris Warner, Albert Warner, Sam Warner and Jack Warner, and then Harry Morris Warner served as the first president of Warner Bros. Pictures , Warner Bros. established Warner Studios in Burbank in 1918, and officially established Warner Bros. Film Company in New York on April 4, 1923. It is now the largest film company among the eight major Hollywood film companies. It was acquired by Time Inc. in 1990. Time Inc. later changed its name to Time Warner. In 2010, Warner Bros. released "Inception" with a box office of over 100 million. As of 2011, the box office revenue of its "Harry Potter" series of films has exceeded 7.4 billion US dollars worldwide. The world's "most profitable" film series.

The film company with the largest funds in the future! Hey, let a person listen to the famous name that is unforgettable.

In addition, in the original time and space, Warner Bros. Films is also the driving force behind the launch of "Million Dollar Baby". This time it should be successful.

Looking at the magnificent office building of Warner Bros., Zhang Dongcheng looked at its huge logo like a golden shield, stopped in his tracks, smoked a cigarette vigorously, and then walked in.

"Hello, welcome to Warner Films." Another beautiful front desk lady, the beautiful face of the film company.

Looking at her work card, Zhang Dongcheng realized that her name was Ashley, so he smiled and said, "Hi, Miss Ashley, I'm Smith Zhang. I met someone from your company at Mr. Thomas's reception a few days ago. Manager Jeff, today I want to talk to him about my movie."

Zhang Dongcheng did not make an appointment, or he is no longer that young director now. His name has spread all over England, and he is also well-known in the United States. Many executives of film companies know him. In addition to that banquet, Gao All the staff saw this Zhang Dongcheng who shocked the world with his black humor movies at the age of twenty.

Therefore, it is not an important thing to come to them proactively and whether they have an appointment or not.

"Mr. Jeff is meeting guests now. He said that he can meet you in half an hour. Please wait in the VIP room?" Ashley said to Zhang Dongcheng with a smile after making the phone call, and made a gesture of please .

Zhang Dongcheng looked at the bench by the wall, thankful that he didn't have to sit here and wait, and followed Ashley to a luxuriously decorated VIP room.

"It's very good here." In front of the beautiful, smiling Ashley, Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help but relax, and said jokingly after looking at the high-end VIP room door.

"Hehe, there is another director in the VIP room. He is also from the UK. I believe you will have a common language." Ashley pushed the door open with a smile.

Also a British director? Zhang Dongcheng couldn't help becoming a little interested.

Zhang Dongcheng strode forward, and there was a person sitting inside. He took a closer look, but was speechless!

Hooked nose, sinister face, this is Ender!

And Ander's eyes shot over, and sparks suddenly burst out, and the four eyes fought in the air, and the lightning flashed.

"Mr. Smith, wait a moment, I'll get you a cup of coffee." Ashley didn't see that Zhang Dongcheng and Ander were looking at each other like a bullfight, and smiled and asked Zhang Dongcheng to sit down on the large and comfortable sofa, and pushed out the door.

"HOHO, our great director, why are you here? Why didn't you go to Columbia Pictures? Doesn't someone seem to have a good chat with Mr. Thomas? Could it be that the movie was rejected because it was too bad?" Ander cocked his feet, shaking wildly, and his words were even more yin and yang, which made people annoyed when he heard them.

Zhang Dongcheng was also sitting on the sofa, just looking at An De coldly.

I have to say that this kid is really smart. He really guessed why he came to Warner Bros. What a pity that this guy followed him like a ghost.

Seeing that Zhang Dongcheng didn't speak, Ander became even more proud: "Smith, we are classmates, and I know your details very well. Your film may be successful in the UK, but in the US, you must first learn how to be a filmmaker." Americans! The ideas here, the ideas here, the customs here, that’s not a place where you can just pat your head and succeed!”

Zhang Dongcheng still didn't speak, just folded his hands on his chest, closed his eyes and sat peacefully, treated the chattering Ander as if he didn't exist, and ignored him.

"These days, it's about big productions! It's about action and technology!" Ander followed Lucas, the director of "Star Wars", and learned a lot in the past six months. The victorious rooster stretched its neck and shouted: "Spectacular scenes, realistic special effects, a lot of explosion scenes, beautiful love, fierce gun battles, enough eye-catching stars, this is a **** American movie! As for your crappy movies? Haha, I bet you can make a hundred movies and still not make any money!".

"This year's big investment, big production, you spend two million pounds to make a movie? Haha, the price of a movie star here is several times higher than that! Your vision is too small, Smith! You are too courageous." Small! It's due to the color of your head and skin. At least, at least I know you make tens of millions of dollars, but what are you wearing? Can this suit cost more than three hundred dollars? HOHO, Smith, don't be What a miser!" Ander didn't see that Zhang Dongcheng's face was getting livid, and he was still shouting happily.

Zhang Dongcheng suddenly sat up!

Ender jumped up like a spring in an instant, hid behind the chair, hugged his head and shouted: "Don't hit me, I'll call the police! You can't run away, Smith!"

After a while, Ander raised his head, seeing that Zhang Dongcheng just changed his posture and sat without saying a word, and he regained his courage.

"Really, Smith, as your alumni and classmate, I have to advise you. You should go back to the UK. You can't make big investments, you can't play high technology, and you don't know American movies. In Hollywood, Only the bravest and the most willing to invest can succeed!" Proud as a general who reprimanded his subordinates, Ender sat back on the chair and spit all over his mouth.

The door rang, and Ashley came in with a cup of coffee. She didn't notice the tense atmosphere in the VIP room, and after giving Zhang Dongcheng the coffee with a smile, she wanted to leave.

"You really don't understand, really. I learned a lot from Lucas, I know how to gain a foothold in Hollywood, you, really can't." Ender said with his chin raised, Ashley was beside him, and he even He is confident and fearless, with a hateful face that you are coming to hit me.

"Miss Ashley, is there a baseball bat here?" Zhang Dongcheng finally raised his head and said something, but Ender, who was cocking his chin, quickly rushed to the door.

"Baseball bat? No. What's the matter, mister?" Ashley asked strangely, and even more strangely looked at Ender who hid behind her when he heard the baseball bat, not knowing what happened. .

"Oh, I just suddenly want to tear something... Forget it, Miss Ashley. I don't need it anymore." Zhang Dongcheng smiled slightly, picked up his coffee and took a sip.

"Oh..." Ashley looked at Zhang Dongcheng even more strangely, she didn't know what tearing things had in common with a baseball bat.
