Chapter 41 Oolong

It is common in Hollywood for scripts to have similar ideas, similar content, and even suspected plagiarism.

There is a lot of plagiarism in the world, and Hollywood is no exception.

Influenced by the red wave at the beginning of this century, trade unions were established all over the United States.

So the screenwriters in Hollywood at that time also followed suit and established the Screenwriters Guild.

The Writers Guild has many responsibilities.

One of them is to ensure that the members' creative content is not plagiarized, or to help initiate investigations if it is plagiarized.

Many screenwriters will register their written scripts with the Screenwriters Guild.

The advantage of doing this is that if someone comes up with a similar idea in the future, or if someone plagiarizes, it can be proven.

Another benefit is that the script is registered with the Screenwriters Guild.

They are expected to catch the eye of major film company bosses, producers or directors.

It’s easier to deal with those famous screenwriters who have already become famous.

They are often hired by big companies, producers, and directors, and then tailor-made

And those screenwriters who are not yet famous or are new to the industry.

They don't have this kind of treatment.

Many people will register their own scripts in advance, hoping that one day they will be picked by someone and become rich overnight.

This was also the beginning when Milo made up his mind to become a plagiarist.

That's why he went to register with the Screenwriters Guild first.

It was just after filming "Angels and Demons".

He wanted to make a movie that could win both awards and box office.

He chose Shakespeare in Love, which he remembered.

He also quickly "created" the outline of the script.

Fortunately, he was cautious and asked someone to check before announcing it.

It turned out that the script of "Shakespeare in Love" had been registered with the trade union three years ago.

Even Miramax is thinking about filming it.

However, Milo's predecessor had a good relationship with Miramax.

The fat guy Harvey was once the original body's old man who picked up Hollywood girls.

He then asked Wendy to buy the script of Shakespeare in Love from Miramax.

"Oh, there's one more thing."

After talking to Milo about Shakespeare in Love, Wendy seemed to have thought of something.

The fat man's expression became very embarrassed, and he even looked a little depressed.

He began, "Something went wrong with the thing you asked me to send to England."

"Um?"

"You know." The fat man lowered his voice, "We don't have many people overseas. It's England and London, and you told me not to use the energy in my hometown. I have no choice but to ask for help from Texas."

"Then what?"

"When the people in Texas heard about what you wanted to do, Mr. Shrub was very concerned and asked someone to give me a few phone numbers in London."

Milo changed his position on the sofa and said, "Just say it directly. I hate to be long-winded."

Wendy looked even more embarrassed, and Milo didn't even know what he was embarrassed about.

Because of public and private affairs?

Come on, this is so common in the United States.

There's nothing embarrassing about this.

“I only found out about it afterwards.”

As if trying to distance herself from the matter, Wendy said, "Those calls were actually private numbers of several important members of the CIA's London office."

Hearing this, Milo raised his eyebrows and couldn't help but sit up straight on the sofa.

Milo knew that his grandfather had been the director of the CIA.

He is also the only American president in history to have served as director of the CIA.

Then, before grandpa took office.

Because of the extremely destructive destruction of the CIA by the previous two CIA directors, they left behind a mess.

The grandfather who gave Milo his middle name came to power to turn the tide.

Herbert successfully restored ClA and also did a good job of public relations.

Improve the domestic view of ClA in the United States.

Such a person, even if he only served as the director of ClA for one year.

Do you think he has no influence on ClA?

So when it comes to his uncle, he can easily pull out the phone numbers of several important ClA members in London.

Milo was not surprised at all.

"Something unexpected happened. Maybe I didn't express myself clearly. Or maybe the people working over there were too impulsive and made mistakes."

The fat man lowered his head guiltily: "The person over there accidentally... killed the person you were looking for."

"Fuck!"

Milo stood up on the sofa and spoke in Chinese.

After coming to his senses, he quickly added, "What??!!"

Wendy was extremely embarrassed and whispered:

"Later they conducted an internal investigation and they said that it was because the explanations were not clear. In the end, the person in charge made a misunderstanding. He accidentally drove the other person into the Thames and when he was fished out, he was found to be dead."

Milo couldn't help but open his mouth.

Is this even possible? This is too outrageous!

Is there any justice in this world!

This... seems pretty good?

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

Taking a few deep breaths, Milo tried to calm himself down.

He looked at the fat man who was feeling extremely guilty.

"Wendy, you really disappoint me this time."

"Oh, I'm so sorry..." Wendy was frustrated herself.

After all, Milo asked him to find someone.

He was fine. He found the person, but he was dead.

"Are you sure the dead person is Joanna Rowling, from Gwent, Wales? About thirty years old."

"I'm sorry, it should be this person. I later confirmed his identity, and it's exactly the same as what you told me."

"call……"

Milo exhaled, now he didn't know what he felt.

After thinking for a while, he looked at the guilty and depressed fat man and pretended to be angry:

"I have to say, Wendy, you really disappointed me this time. I asked you to find someone, but you told me that you killed that person."

"It was a mistake, it was an own goal..." Wendy said in a low voice.

"No need to explain."

Milo said in a deep voice: "Go and find out about Joanna Rowling right now, where her belongings ended up after her death, and her specific life experience. I hope you will never make such a huge mistake again!"

After the fat man left dejectedly, Milo slowly walked out of the living room door.

"David, where is Kenny? Do you have a cigarette?" Milo loosened his suit belt and said to his security director who was standing at the door.

"Kenny went to patrol the back."

David smiled and handed the cigarette and lighter to Milo who was walking over.

"Oh, just give me one." Milo took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, returned the cigarette and lighter to David, and waved his hand with a smile.

Milo's bodyguards were replaced.

He originally had only one bodyguard, David, and later Paladin's former personal bodyguard York also came to work for him.

But Milo was somewhat dissatisfied with York's work last time.

York brought Haley to him without his permission.

Although, Haley is his sister-in-law.

But what if I was picking up girls at that time?

So Milo found an excuse to replace York.

The man who came back was called Kenny.

Kenny is from Los Angeles and originally worked for the Los Angeles Police Department. He was later selected to become a member of the Secret Service.

The situation of the United States Secret Service is rather special, as a large group of people have always been replaced with each new president.

Kenny was replaced two years ago. After he retired, he was arranged to work at Blackburn's house as Robin's driver and bodyguard.

Milo asked for a change of bodyguards, so his mother sent Kenny, whom she trusted the most.

Walking back to the second floor with a cigarette in his mouth, Milo did not go back to his room, but came to the observation deck. He felt the cool breeze and looked at the buildings of Sunset Boulevard in the distance. He felt inexplicably refreshed.

He likes his current life very much, regardless of status, identity, money and beauties.

These were things he could never have imagined in his previous life.

Now, all this is just the foundation of his early life.

He holds the future in his hands and many things are at his fingertips.

Suddenly, Milo whispered.

"Hey, I'm dead. Hey, I can make an extra billion dollars for nothing. Um... I have to go visit my uncle when I have time."

It’s better to keep in touch with the uncle who takes such good care of his nephew!
