This screenwriter named Mark Morrick has been in Hollywood since the early 1970s. According to time, he can be said to be a senior screenwriter. He has participated in the script writing of films such as "Robot Men" and "Deadly Weapons". Although he is not qualified to sign in the screenwriter column, he is also well-known in the industry.

Not only did he come up with an old script, he also found several friends who had read the script back then. As for these "friends", they were completely strangers to Hollywood.

Did it really hit the car?

Ryan didn't think so. The other party has been a member of the Screenwriters Association since the 1970s. If he really wrote a script like "Gladiator", how could he forget to file it with the Screenwriters Association?

Besides, he remembered it very clearly that in his previous life, the creative source of "Gladiator" was indeed the painting, but the person who had this idea was David Franzoni, the producer of DreamWorks.

Just two years ago, David Geffen was very interested in the novel of the same name published by him. He once wanted to buy the movie adaptation rights, and the recommender was David Franzoni.

Take out an old script and bring in a few friends, and you can jump out and correct him for plagiarism?

Ryan believes that things will never be that simple.

After Mark Morrick was interviewed by ABC TV, some media began to hype.

"Ryan Jenkins is suspected of plagiarizing the works of a veteran Hollywood screenwriter, and has not responded so far..."

"The Gladiator movie may be postponed and will never appear on the big screen once plagiarism is confirmed."

"Genius can also copy? Ryan? Jenkins's inspiration has dried up..."

"In order to maintain industry order, Mark Morrick should prosecute people suspected of plagiarism. Hollywood must eliminate this unhealthy trend in the future!"

In the mouths of these media, it seemed that they didn't even need to verify, so they pressed the name of plagiarism firmly on Ryan's head.

If it were David Franzoni or Ridley Scott and corrected him for plagiarism, Ryan might feel inappropriate, but who is Mark Morrick? Please, what works have you completed independently?

Most media still stand on a neutral standpoint and will not easily favor either side until the results come out. Ryan did not use the relationship between media and just watched the changes in the situation.

Reports from certain media seem to have given Mark Morrick a revelation that he sued Ryan and Jenkins Films in mid-November in federal court in Cheyenne, Wyoming, and his lawyers asked the court to issue a preliminary injunction that prohibits any film company from releasing the film before the lawsuit is over.

"Gladiator" is facing the danger of being banned from being released before it has entered theaters.

"Ignore this lawsuit, whether it is publicity or release, everything will be implemented according to the original plan."

During this period, there was a lot of controversy in the media, but Ryan hid in Jenkins Manor with peace of mind and learned about the development of the situation through the Internet and phone. "Julice. Just leave the litigation matters to lawyer Wilson."

The old lawyer had retired and was replaced by his son Mr. Wilson Jr., a younger lawyer with extraordinary skills and more enterprising spirit. With Ryan's support, Wilson Law Firm has developed into one of the best law firms in California.

Pillowed on Charlize's long legs. Ryan hung up the phone, threw it into the sofa under him, deflected his head, buried his entire face in the flat belly of the South African American Diamond, and took a deep breath.

Charlize, who was looking through the information, couldn't help but lower his head, turned Ryan's face, and printed hard on his lips.

"Can you win this lawsuit with an old script and the testimony of a few inexplicable people?" She always looked indignant at the moment from Ryan's standpoint.

"They don't need to win." After changing to a more comfortable position, Ryan continued, "they just need to drag the lawsuit down so that "Gladiator" can't be released or delayed."

"The question is what are the benefits of doing this?" Charlize suddenly complained, "Dear, my legs are already numb."

"Oh, sorry, Charlie." Ryan quickly sat up, took the diamond into her arms, and continued to say with the blond hair, "The movie cannot be released, and it will definitely lose money. Even if it is delayed, the huge publicity expenses invested by Jenkins Pictures in advance will be wasted."

“To date, Gladiator has spent nearly $50 million in publicity,” he added, “even for Jenkins Pictures, it’s a huge sum.”

"Look at all, you're not in a hurry..." Charlize slipped down from Ryan's arms and rested on his legs. "Is there a way to deal with it?"

"This is just a little trouble." Ryan followed the two straight legs and touched upwards, "The real trouble is behind."

If the media is in a turmoil, even if the court finally ruled that this is not plagiarism, it will definitely have a certain impact on the judges of the film academy. The film will be subconsciously ignored when voting.

This is also the reason why he handled it coldly. If the media that we have made friends with will defend him, the two sides will have a dispute over each other, and the topic will be completely ignited, and the only thing that will be lost will be yourself.

Now, even though ABC TV and some media influenced by Disney are still making a big fuss about this matter, they cannot cause bigger waves due to lack of response.

"So this is also a poor woman."

Charlize, who was lying down and flipping through the script, suddenly sighed, "If someone in the middle would stretch out his hand to pull her, Erin Vornos might not have walked on this path."

"Have you seen her photos?" Ryan signaled her to the end, and when Charlize saw the photos, he reminded him, "If you star in this movie, you will become like this."

"Uh..." Charlize obviously hesitated, "It's only temporary, isn't it?"

"Okay, my dear." Ryan squeezed her tall nose comfortingly, "I will finish the script as soon as possible."

Now this diamond is his own woman, and some inappropriate plots will definitely be eliminated.

Grabbing the hand that was pinching his nose, Charlize put it to his mouth, and two rows of silver teeth gnawed on it a few times, leaving a shallow tooth mark, suddenly turned his head and deliberately rubbed it with his delicate face to a sensitive position. After feeling the obvious change, he suddenly stood up with a smile and jumped to the distance without waiting for Ryan to make any reaction.

"etc!"

Looking at Ryan who was about to catch up, she raised her index finger, "Dear, we should change our clothes, don't forget to attend the premiere for a while."

"Charlie, there is no evening dress for you." Ryan raised his eyebrows.

"I think since you called me over, you must be prepared, right?"

When Charlize looked at the stairs leading to the second floor, Ryan went over and pulled her to the locker room upstairs, "I have had someone order a dress."

When he walked upstairs, he saw Charlize's eyes sweeping through the doors of the bedrooms, Ryan said, "You can choose any room."

"Then..." Charlize hesitated for a moment and pointed to the master bedroom on the second floor, "Is this one OK?"

"Change another one."

Looking at Ryan, Charlize understood whose room it was, nodded and said, "Can you choose the third floor?"

She knew Ryan's room was on the third floor.

The two of them went to attend the premiere of "Monster Electric Power Company". The movie was specially selected to premiere the weekend before Thanksgiving. Although it was the name and the role of the film, it was full of monsters, in fact, it was still a family-style film.

After getting off the RV, Ryan was not interested in staying on the red carpet for a long time. He ignored all the questions asked by the reporter and walked directly into Chandler's hall. Charlize was meticulous and could roughly guess what he thought. He followed closely behind with his arm. Even though there were hundreds of female movie fans on both sides, he still kept silent smartly, just showing his most beautiful and elegant side to everyone.

"Don't care too much." Walking into the theater hall, Ryan patted her hand comfortably and said to himself, "There are many people who believe that your hardcore scold me."

"I haven't been to the front of my house to protest so exaggeratedly." She complained just right, and then reminded, "Mr. Weinstein is here."

"Hello, Miss Theron."

When Charlize heard Harvey Weinstein's polite greetings to Ryan, he quickly said, "Just call me Charlie."

"Okay, Charlie." Harvey Weinstein is an old fox, so he naturally knows what to say at this time. "Ryan's description of you is nothing wrong with it. Your beauty is like the most precious diamond from South Africa."

"Thank you, Harvey." Charlize covered his mouth and chuckled softly.

"Beautiful job, Harvey."

After the fat man finished talking to Charlize, Ryan gave him a thumbs up, "How to operate a foreign language movie, no one in Hollywood is better than you."

"That's because the quality of the movie is guaranteed." Harvey Weinstein suddenly looked at the South African Diamond and deliberately changed into an exaggerated tone. "Do you know, Charlie, just seven or eight years ago, Ryan got the right to adapt a Chinese novel for only $100,000. Now the movie not only won the Palme d'Or, but also hopes to get a box office of more than $100,000."

"You are talking about "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon"?"

If you want to stay by his side, Charlize knows that his vision must be broadened. If you can't keep up with his pace, someone will sooner or later take his place. "It is said that many media are praising this as the best overseas science fiction film in recent years."

When Ryan heard the word "science fiction" and couldn't help but tremble. In the eyes of North American media, Kung Fu movies are represented by Jack Chen or Jet Lee. Such films that violate the theorem of physics and fly around in the sky are science fiction films similar to superheroes.
