Chapter 907 Someone is plotting against me
Sheridan also looked innocent. "Mr. Xiao, I'm not lying. I've never been involved in the deep-sea salvage industry, so I have no idea how you guys work. I can only imagine based on your old videos, so there are bound to be mistakes! Your work is so hard, and you have such a top-notch yacht. No one would believe you if you said you weren't messing around on it!"
Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "That's your business, not mine! I'm not the protagonist of your story, and you've already filmed enough with just a few shots. How you edit it is up to you. If you insist on including something personal? Okay, I can't stop you, but you can't stop me from posting the video online either!"
Sheridan wanted to say more, but Xiao Peng interrupted him with a wave of his hand. "I really don't understand film art. Talking to me about film art is like talking to a deaf person. But I'm telling you, I know what's right and what's wrong. You're clearly trying to trick me, and I'm still trying to reason with you? Sheridan, you seem to have forgotten something."
"What?" Sheridan asked subconsciously.
Xiao Peng pointed at himself and said, "I'm a billionaire, super rich. Aren't you afraid of my revenge for trying to trick me like this? I'll make everyone on the crew on the ship infamous, and no one will hate you or me later, do you believe it? You've lived this long, it's impossible not to understand these principles... I won't ask who's behind this, but I'm asking you now, if I ruin you, will the people behind you clean up the mess for you?"
Sheridan hesitated for a long time and said to Xiao Peng: "Mr. Xiao, I'm sorry!"
"No one is a fool these days, especially a billionaire. Are you crazy enough to cause trouble to me?" Xiao Peng said sternly!
Sheridan said without hesitation, "It's Hull Fisher of Odyssey Ocean Exploration!"
"Hull Fisher?" Xiao Peng thought for a moment, "What's his relationship with Mel Fisher?"
"It's Mel Fisher's grandson!" said Sheridan.
After hearing this, Xiao Peng fell silent.
Sheridan quickly asked, "Mr. Xiao, I've told you the truth. Look at this video..."
"Video?" Xiao Peng sneered, "If your movie satisfied me, this video wouldn't have appeared in this world. Your movie doesn't satisfy me? Haha..."
Sheridan was anxious: "Mr. Xiao, how can I know how to shoot it to satisfy you?"
Xiao Peng said directly: "That's your problem, not mine!"
Sheridan was about to commit suicide. You can't let me flatter you against my conscience? What if I deviate from the main plot of the movie?
Xiao Peng continued, "Don't be so nervous. Regarding the people on my ship, I only ask that you be truthful. As long as you can tell the truth, we don't need to beautify or vilify them. Do you understand what I mean?"
Sheridan nodded in understanding.
"I don't know whether this is Odyssey's or your government's intention. I think I should ask Michael Higgins or Gerry Adams!" Xiao Peng suddenly said.
Sheridan's face turned green when he heard this: "Please, Mr. Xiao! We must not let them know about this!"
He's going crazy! Let Gerry Adams and the others know about this and he'll be finished!
Why make this movie? Isn't it all about the return of Northern Ireland? After the movie is made, they can edit it in a clever way. No matter how much they vilify Xiao Peng and these Chinese people, it doesn't matter. After all, the core of the movie remains unchanged. At that time, no matter how angry Xiao Peng was with the Irish, he would definitely support Sheridan in continuing to promote the movie.
But what if people knew that I was deliberately vilifying Xiao Peng and his group? If Xiao Peng got angry and turned against me, causing the film to be unable to continue, then my family would be almost wiped off the face of the earth.
Michael Higgins is fine, but what was Gerry Adams really up to? An IRA military commander! He's a man who could kill people if he disagreed with someone! If he knew he was hindering Northern Ireland's return, his own life wouldn't matter, but what about his descendants?
As he said, he had done his homework and understood Chinese culture. With a thud, Sheridan knelt before Xiao Peng. "Mr. Xiao, I was possessed by a demon and did this. You must not make this public. I'm not exaggerating. This concerns the lives of our entire family."
Xiao Peng ignored him, lit a cigarette, and asked, "How much money did Her Fisher pay you to do this?"
Sheridan looked depressed and didn't know whether to say it or not.
Xiao Peng laughed and said, "Why do you still need to remain silent? Does it make any difference whether you speak or not?"
After hearing this, Sheridan came to his senses. "That's right. Why are you still hiding it now? Just based on what Xiao Peng has in his hands, it's enough for him to die!"
He said hurriedly: "Hell Fisher gave me five million."
Xiao Peng smiled coldly after hearing this: "You did this for only five million?"
Sheridan said with a bitter face, "I didn't expect this to be discovered. Last-minute script changes are very common during filming. It's also not uncommon for the edited feature film to be different from the screenplay. If you're still not satisfied with the script after it's released, it's too late to make a difference."
Xiao Peng shook his head. "All the mistakes in the world, all the beginnings, basically start with the three words 'I thought'. I saw through this at such a young age, how can you not see it at your age? Do you think things will always be the way you imagine? Okay, I'll give you one day to revise the script and two days to film the scenes on the 'Calypso'. The day after tomorrow, whether you're finished or not, I'll be doing the live broadcast. Okay, you can leave now!"
Sheridan said: "Mr. Xiao, yesterday's video..."
Xiao Peng waved his hand and said, "You should focus on filming the movie right now, not on this video. I'm still very interested in this movie, so go for it. You're so suicidal just for five million! Director Sheridan, make a movie that satisfies me. If I'm satisfied, I'll give you another few hundred million to make a movie for fun. Okay, get back to work! Oh, and have your people clean up my room for me!"
Not long after Sheridan left the room, Khedira and Walter walked in.
"Boss!" Walter asked, "Are we being targeted by people from Odyssey?"
Xiao Peng nodded. "That's not surprising. We were originally in the Mediterranean, and now we're in the North Sea. It would be strange if they didn't react after making such a big fuss. In their eyes, the North Sea is their backyard."
Khedira said, "Boss, I know Odyssey. What does that Hel Fisher do? How come you know that right away? Do you know him?"
