Isn't all this enough to impress Zhang Dongcheng?

Excited, Zhang Dongcheng worked hard and wrote the storyboard script. He took it out with confidence, and Zhang Dongcheng even thought about who the heroine would be.

Angelina Jolie, how are you?

When Zhang Dongcheng jumped into the car, his head was filled with the image of Angelina holding up the statuette at the Oscars. Although she is only 20 years old this year, Zhang Dongcheng, who is also 20 years old, feels that there is really nothing in this world that can stop him .

Really do not have?

The first one to come, of course, was the office of Mr. Thomas, Columbia Film Company, who favored him at the banquet.

Zhang Dongcheng, who was so excited that he couldn't control himself, didn't realize that he hadn't considered many things until he faced Mr. Thomas's secretary's inquiry.

"Sir, who are you looking for?" The beautiful secretary stood in front of Zhang Dongcheng and asked suspiciously.

With a young face and an oriental person, Zhang Dongcheng's age and appearance made Miss Secretary very uncomfortable.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I'm Mr. Thomas's... Uh, I'm a friend. I have something important to talk to him about. Well, it's about my movie. I'm Smith Zhang, and Mr. Thomas knows me. Zhang Dongcheng adjusted his black-rimmed glasses in embarrassment, and said with a smile.

"Do you have an appointment?" Miss Secretary said politely.

"This...no, can you please tell Mr. Thomas, let him decide whether to see you or not?" Zhang Dongcheng also responded politely, hoping that the secretary would give him face.

"Okay. I'll make a call first." The secretary did not make things difficult for Zhang Dongcheng, perhaps because of the smile on his face, and quickly dialed the phone.

"Mr. Thomas, a man named Smith came to see you. He said you knew him." The secretary asked into the microphone.

"Oh, let him in."

"Okay. I'll arrange for him to come in and see you."

The secretary put down the phone, put on a joke on her face, and brought Zhang Dongcheng to Thomas' office.

"Haha, my little friend, why did you come to me? Do you have any good ideas to talk to me?" Although Thomas is old, his eyes are still very sharp, and he saw Zhang Dongcheng holding a document in his hand at a glance Bao, couldn't help standing up, welcoming Zhang Dongcheng to sit down.

"Yes, Mr. Thomas. Ever since I achieved certain results in England, I want to prove myself in Hollywood. I have an idea for a new film. The script is here, and I will let Mr. Thomas read it." Zhang Dongcheng said with confidence Said, then opened the briefcase and handed the script to Thomas.

"Sure enough, he's a young man with a lot of drive!" Thomas smiled kindly, and took the script casually, and the title of "Million Dollar Baby" came into view.

"Million Dollar Baby? Hey, the name seems to be good, quite attractive." Thomas gave a thumbs up, and then looked through it seriously.

And Zhang Dongcheng sat upright, hoping to get a good news from him.

"The theme of female boxers?" After watching for a while, Thomas seemed to see something, and raised his head to glance at Zhang Dongcheng.

"Yes, but this is not a real boxing story, but a love story." Zhang Dongcheng smiled and motioned Thomas to continue reading.

At the beginning, Thomas' brows were stretched, and half of the movie moved him very much. This movie has the usual impact of sports inspirational movies, just like the 1976 "Rocky" that triggered a nationwide movie craze, and has a box office hit. Shed potential.

But at the end, as the script took a sharp turn, the heroine Mashi was paralyzed on the bed, unable to even move a finger, and then her coach pulled out the ventilator tube on Maggie's neck after struggling painfully. Inject her with a large amount of insulin, let her sleep in the warmest and deepest love, let her sleep behind the gate of dreams.

What? Euthanasia? Thomas frowned tightly, put down the script, stared at Zhang Dongcheng's young face, moved his lips, but didn't say anything, just sighed heavily.

"Mr. Thomas? What's the matter?" Zhang Dongcheng felt a little nervous.

"Mr. Smith, I am a devout Christian. Suicide is definitely not allowed by God... Absolutely not. Because human life is given by God... and death is also determined by God, not human beings. Yes, That's right, people can choose to die and not listen to God's words, but the price after death is going to hell." Thomas spoke slowly, pushing the script back to Zhang Dongcheng.

"However, my film does not mean that euthanasia is right. It is about people's family affection. Many people think before they die that their dreams have not been realized. But Maggie, it has been realized. This is the most shocking part .” Zhang Dongcheng tried to explain.

"I understand. I can even imagine that if this movie of yours is put on the big screen, not to mention making money, it should be no problem. And this kind of movie with a violent collision of human nature, the Oscars will like it very much. But for me personally Said, I can't do anything for this movie. This is the principle of a believer." Thomas fell on the sofa very tiredly, pressing his temples hard.

"But..." Zhang Dongcheng still wanted to say something.

"Maybe you will impress other film companies. I'm sorry, Mr. Smith. Your movie is a good movie, I can confirm it." Thomas stood up, with the intention of serving tea to the guests.

And Zhang Dongcheng stood up in a daze, looked at Thomas' eyes, finally nodded, shook hands with him, and left.
