Rand's words made me laugh.

I stood up from my seat, walked to his side and sat down, squeezed my eyes twice and said, "You guy, what do I have? Don't you know?"

Grant shook his head like a rattle and said, "Look at what you said, I am not a worm in your belly, how can you know what you think."

Then the two of us looked at each other and laughed inexplicably.

"Have the premiere date of MGM's "King of Kings" confirmed?" Grant and I were people wearing pairs of pants, so we didn't have to go around at all.

"No. They just finished the filming, and I heard that they are being edited in a tight manner. How could they determine the premiere date? But don't worry, if I pay attention to inquiries, I will tell you immediately once I get the exact news." Grant shrugged.

"Andre, there is one thing I want to ask you, this time you are really going to release "The Passion of Jesus" and MGM's "King of Kings" on the same day?" The expression on Grant's face suddenly became complicated.

I nodded and said, "No, what's wrong?"

Grant spread his hands and said, "It's nothing, it's just that I'm a little worried about you. If you do this, Marskolov will definitely have an objection."

I smiled and said, "I know he must have an objection, but there is no way to do it. Think about it, when their "Washington" is also determined to squeeze our DreamWorks. And when "King of Kings" was filmed some time ago, you see that they were crazy and their chins were almost all raised to the sky. I did this just to kill their pride. Otherwise, after a long time, their MGM eyes would definitely grow on their heads and look at them, and no one would like to see them. In that case, the alliance we have worked hard to establish will be dissatisfied. Everyone knows that the Red Dragon League is too fragile. At this time, we need a strong and shocking leader. If DreamWorks does not establish a little majesty, these companies will not be honest. Today is MGM, and it may be Paramount tomorrow, and the Warner Brothers the day after tomorrow. Everyone does this, wouldn't it be a cheap Lei Dinghua?"

My words made Grant nod.

"When I talked about Lei Dinghua, I almost forgot to tell you that Hitchcock's "Catching Beauty" is very good. When I watched it, I felt that once this movie was released, it would definitely be popular with the public, and the box office would definitely not be bad."

When talking about Hitchcock's movie, Grant's face was very serious.

As the honorary mayor of Hollywood, Grant has seen countless movies. Whether a movie can attract audiences, whether it can be popular at the box office, and whether it can become an excellent art film. He only needs to watch it for three minutes to make a conclusion. The reason why he can evaluate Hitchcock's "Catching Beauty" in this way means that this movie must be outstanding.

"To be honest, I appreciate this Hitchcock, otherwise I wouldn't have wanted to pull him to DreamWorks." I laughed.

"You wanted to sign Hitchcock at the beginning? Why didn't you want to sign later?" Grant had never heard of this.

I shrugged my shoulders and sighed, "It's not that I don't want to sign others, it's that I don't want to sign our DreamWorks."

Cough cough, Grant almost choked to death by tea.

"There are still people who don't want to sign DreamWorks?" Grant screamed with wide eyes.

I smiled slightly: "Yes, I fell in love with this guy, of course some people also liked him, and they gave him a far superior treatment than me."

"Is it Carrey Rockefeller?" Grant asked.

I shook my head: "I can't explain this clearly. But through this incident, I also know that Hitchcock is not suitable for DreamWorks, and our DreamWorks don't need such people."

"Why?" Grant asked curiously.

"Because this person is too ambitious and utilitarian, he has no concept of being willing to contribute to the overall situation, but is very selfish. But these are the foundation of the spirit of DreamWorks. If he enters DreamWorks, I will be really worried." I said happily.

"You guy, I guess you can't eat grapes, say that the grapes are sour." Grant joked, then poked me and said, "Andre, I think this Hitchcock is likely to have also released his "Catching Beauty" on the same day as the premiere of "The Passion of Jesus". In this way, the three of you competed that night."

It can be seen that although Grant is very confident in me, he is still a little worried.

"I had expected this for a long time. This is Hitchcock's temper. He had the ambition to defeat me in one fell swoop and become the leader of Hollywood's new land. But that's fine, at least that night was lively." I put on an expression of unswerving expression.

My expression, as Grant expected, did not speak, but just picked up the tea and laughed.

"I am most worried about the same person than Hitchcock and Marskolov." My tone suddenly became a little heavy.

"You mean Yutus Clay?" Grant immediately guessed who the person I was talking about.

I smiled and nodded, showing affirmation.

Grant immediately laughed: "Andre, Yutus Clay has nothing to worry about? Although he is the bishop of the Western Diocese of the Vatican, you have also seen the situation tonight. Their people didn't even dare to show their faces in front of the people. What are you afraid of him? I am afraid that he will bring a group of people to make trouble during the premiere? Haha, I am afraid that the spits of Mr. Corleon's fans can drown him!"

I gave Grant a blank look and said, "I am not worried about what you said. What I am worried about is another question, do you understand?"

"What's the problem?" Grant became a little confused this time.

"The question of censorship." I sighed and said, "You know, Yutus Clay has been unable to get along with me in film review. Before the filming of "The Passion of Jeremy" started, he said that even if I die, I will not let my movie meet the public. I understand this guy's character. He said that he will definitely try every means to set problems for my movie, and will make things difficult for us in censorship. I am not afraid of him, but I am afraid of this bitch in censorship. He is already a group of people in the review committee.

People. Now some members of the jury who were originally friendly with me who were Christians will be attracted by him. In this way, it will be too difficult to pass the review smoothly. Although I am confident that I will eventually break through the siege, I am afraid that some shots will be deleted at that time. You know, I have always been an extremely protective place for my own movies, and this is even more so in this movie. Not to mention deleting many shots, I will never agree to deleting any shots."

Grant frowned and said, "This is a big problem. Yutus Clay will do everything possible to make things difficult for you. This is a very certain thing. It is his greatest wish to ban this movie from being released. When the two of you conflict, there will be a lot of trouble. And what I worry about is that even if this problem can be solved in the end, I may miss the date of premiering with MGM's "King of Kings".

"Boss, then we'll fuck you! Just like when I dealt with Sister Sando last time, I announced that the movie would be withdrawn and not screened, and the whole United States would not be in a big blow. We won't take action. The people alone can razed the church in Yutus Cree to the ground." Gans waved his hand vigorously and said viciously.

"Gans said it was a way.

said with his mouth.

"Why!? I think there is no better way than this method." Gans said, twisting his neck.

Grant smiled and said, "Yes, if you do this, it is very likely that the results will be achieved as expected, but in that case, the contradiction will be completely intensified. Because the Vatican Church and the US government have now argued with this movie. If the church in Yutuskure is affected by censorship issues, he himself is injured, then this problem will be a big deal. You also know that although the US government wants to weaken the church's ability to influence public affairs, they do not want to have a stalemate with the Vatican Church. In addition, the current situation is beneficial to you and the Vatican Church. If you do this, the people in the cave will cause riots to eradicate Yutuskure's Church, which will hit their ground."

"What does it mean? Do they hope their church will be smashed?" Gans was stunned.

Grant shook his head and said, "Don't underestimate the church where Yutus Clay lives. That church is essentially different from the church in other neighborhoods. To be precise, it is a symbol of the Vatican Church. No matter whether you make sense or not, you smash it. Even if you destroy a little facility inside, the Vatican will definitely make a fuss about this matter immediately. At that time, they will have a handle. If the Pope comes out again and says you attack the Vatican Church, then Christians around the world will never let you go. Even the US government may have to deal with you under such pressure. If that happens, not only will your own movies not be screened, but your bosses are afraid that they will be in danger. Isn't this what they hope?"

"This..." Gans immediately fell down and could not say a word.

"Hehehehe." Listening to Grant's words, my eyes lit up and I suddenly burst into laughter.

"Boss, why are you laughing at?" Gans asked.

I stood up, walked to the window and lit a cigarette, took a sip, and then said in a deep voice: "I thought of a way to settle Yutus Clay without us taking action and pass the review smoothly."

"What's the solution?" Gans and Grant asked in unison.

I took a picture of the United States map hanging on the wall and laughed: "Let the US government come forward."

"The US government comes forward?" Gans and Grant were also surprised.

I nodded and said, "Yes, you all know that the US government supports us, so objectively speaking, they hope that this movie can meet the American people more than anyone else, so we will throw this problem to the US government. I will tell them that if the film cannot pass the review smoothly, I will withdraw the movie and not be screened again. In this way, I will throw the pressure on the federal government. It can be said that they have offended the Vatican Church now. If my movie is not released, all their previous efforts will be in vain. Because of this, they will try their best to negotiate with the Holy See and let them pass the censorship of this movie."

"Boss, you're very reasonable, but why did the Holy See agree to the federal government's request? Isn't this causing trouble for yourself??" Gans began to worry about the Holy See.

Grant is worried about the same problem.

I took a sip of tea and said, "The reason is very simple. The Vatican Church is now in a difficult situation. The Crucifix of Jesus is now known to everyone, and the people have been waiting for several months. If they find that the movie is no longer screened because of the Holy See, think about the consequences, let alone those who support us. Even within Christians, a large number of believers will be dissatisfied with the Holy See. They will think that the church is obviously afraid of the content of the movie. In this way, they will naturally doubt the original series of doctrines and principles of the Holy See. Do you want to see the things that have lost the people's hearts in this way?"

"Pilgrim XI may have a headache." Grant laughed.

"Yes, Pius XI may be forced to issue orders to Yutus Clay in the end. His words are better than anything. We do this. We do not mix in at all, and save trouble and effort. Why not do it?"

"Boss, just do it!" Gans became excited.

The finalized method, I called Coolidge's movie directly.

After a long time of calling, I was busy. Finally, I finally got dialed.

"Uncle Sam. Your phone number is so hard to call." The first sentence at the beginning, I began to tease Coolidge.

Coolidge breathed heavily and said breathlessly: "I was in a meeting just now. I rushed over when I heard the phone ring."

"Stop twitching. When I dialed just now, I was obviously busy. You must have gotten rid of the phone when you did a good job. Uncle Sam. It's not that I said you, you don't feel hard on the desk in the office?! Don't say that, when you get old, your waist will get better."

Grant and Gans next to him couldn't help laughing when they heard me teasing Coolidge like this.

Coolidge on the other end of the phone immediately heard a few awkward laughs, then pretended to cough a few times, saying, "Is there anything important to call me so late?"

"Yes, of course there are, but compared to your affairs, they are smaller." I smiled wickedly.

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and talk about the serious matter." Coolidge changed the subject with guilt.

"My land "The Passion of Jesus" has been completed, do you know?" I said solemnly.

"Okay! It's good to finish the filming. Edit it quickly, and the screening will be displayed after the editing is finished! I'm almost in a hurry!" Coolidge laughed and was extremely excited when he heard the news.

Putting aside the desire for the political significance of this movie, from the perspective of a veteran movie fan, he was afraid that he had long looked forward to "The Passion of Jesus".

"Uncle Sam, look at what you said, things are not as simple as you think. I don't plan to show this movie anymore. I want to take back the film and lock it in the company's cabinet." I put on a disappointed voice.

"I don't plan to show it anymore!? Just kidding! Why not show it anymore! Such a good movie, you have worked so hard to put in so much effort, why don't you want to show it??" As soon as Coolidge heard the news, he immediately started yelling.

"It's not that we don't want to show it, it's that others don't let us show it." I sighed.

"You mean what trouble the Holy See has set you now?" Coolidge's tone became cautious.

"The Holy See has not yet, but Bishop Yutus Clay is probably a little unhappy." I said in a deep voice.

"He can't make any trouble now. The situation in Los Angeles has been controlled by you!" Coolidge's words made me tremble in my heart. This bitch is actually very familiar with what happened in Los Angeles.

"The situation is now under control, but I can't control the review committee of the Code Executive Board."

"You are afraid that Yutus Clay will make things difficult for you in the review?" Coolidge understood what I was going to say to him.

Damn, it is really tiring to talk to the president, but this way of talking is the best way for these big names, and it must be done step by step. This is an experience I have summarized and has been tried and tested.

"By the way! Yutus Clay said, he would rather die than let me die

After the censorship, people are determined to say this with the belief of martyrdom. You know, I have always been stubborn about my own movies and do not allow others to delete any shots in them, especially this movie. Anyone who touches it with one finger will bite him to death. So in this way, the conflict between me and Yutus Cree has become irreconcilable. If I conflict with Yutus Cree and thus start a conflict with the Holy See, it is equivalent to making things difficult for you, the President of the United States, as your friend. How can I bear to make things difficult for you, so I can only tear off this movie with heartache."

After I finished speaking, Gans and Grantzie gave me a thumbs up.

"Don't go around me like this, kid. I don't know what kind of virtue you are. Don't worry, I will handle the matter on your behalf on behalf of the US government! But you have to promise me that you must edit it well and make this movie perfect!" Coolidge certainly understood what I thought.

His words made a stone fall into the ground in my heart.

***, Yutus Clay, it seems that you are really going to be martyred this time!

Coolidge promised to help me with the review of "The Passion of Jesus", which made me overjoyed.

Damn, the US President personally supports me. Who am I afraid of?

Yutus Clay. Haha. This time I will destroy you on behalf of the government!
