Mr. Wood quietly looked at the young man in front of him, it was hard to believe that this young man was the copyright owner of [Harry Potter], could it be that this young man was a prophet and knew that [Harry Potter] would be a big hit, so he signed the copyright of [Harry Potter] in advance?

At this time, Mr. Wood coughed and said with a very arrogant attitude: "You are Ye Ming, the copyright owner of [Harry Potter], let me introduce myself, my name is Edward Wood, President of Paramount Asia Pacific, I am here today to talk to you on behalf of Paramount about the transfer of copyright, 500,000 US dollars, which is already quite a good price." Even in Hollywood, the price of a first-class screenwriter may not be as high as this. For 500,000 US dollars, Paramount wants all the rights to [Harry Potter]. ”

At this time, Mr. Wood's face showed ordinary confidence, he believed that Ye Ming would be stunned by this number, in fact, this is the case, the price of Hollywood's first-class screenwriters is generally two or three hundred thousand, which still has to meet a large-scale movie. Paramount gave this price, to be honest, it is not bad in Hollywood. Mr. Wood believes that Ye Ming will happily agree to this price in order to get in touch with Paramount.

At this moment, Mr. Wood felt that the cold weather in the capital did not seem to be so annoying. However, Ye Ming shook his head decisively in Mr. Wood's expectation and said, "500,000, such a price is fooling people, not to mention." [Harry Potter] doesn't mean that it can only be made into a movie, if Paramount is only sincere like this, then I don't think there is any need for us to continue. ”

Cunning little fellow, Mr. Wood doesn't like such young people, if in Hollywood. At that time, Mr. Wood had a hundred ways to make a young man like Ye Ming who didn't know the height of the sky and the thickness of the sky roll up. But this is China, and when you get to China, Mr. Wood must follow the rules of this China.

And the board of directors has already issued an order to take the copyright of [Harry Potter] in order for Wood to achieve his goal. He was even given the discretion of two million dollars.

Mr. Wood was allowed to use his $2 million discretion to complete the transaction. And now it seems that Ye Ming is not so easy to deal with, and at that moment Mr. Wood said solemnly: "Young man, greed has no good end, you can talk about your conditions, as long as it is reasonable." Paramount will consider it at its discretion. "Ye Ming has the initiative now, and Mr. Wood has to bow his head.

At this time, Ye Ming was not verbose, and said very resolutely: "There are three conditions, one is that the copyright has a guaranteed reserve price, and a movie costs two million US dollars, according to the rules of Hollywood." I have a five-percent share. ”

This is actually the price of Hollywood's top scripts, and there are only a handful of screenwriters who can get such a price, of course, like Spielberg himself as a screenwriter and director, and even the producers do it together, that is an exception.

Anyway, the script has a guarantee of two million, which is definitely not low. As for the five percent box office share, well, the Hollywood Accounting Association will make this clause a complete fit, but average. The script and he still have to have such a clause.

At this time, Mr. Wood frowned and said very unhappily: "Mr. Ye Ming, you are too greedy, two million." The price of a top editor. And, well, if this novel isn't yours yet, you'd dare to ask for two million, and the top editors who have been messing around for ten years wouldn't dare ask for that price. "As for the five percent box office share, well, Mr. Wood has ignored such a clause.

At this time, Ye Ming said very resolutely: "[Harry Potter] is worth this price, if Paramount says that it can be won, then you will definitely not regret it." We all know the price of this novel, whether I wrote it or not, the copyright of the book is with me, isn't it?"

Mr. Wood was silent for a moment, seemingly acquiescing to Ye Ming's statement, and then said, "You continue." ”

Ye Ming followed at this time: "Another is that I intend to make a theater chain, and I need to invest 20 million US dollars, and I hope Paramount can join me." You can see it as a venture capital or a co-operation of a theater chain, these are my two requirements, you can go back and think about it for a while, I am not in a hurry to get a reply. ”

At this time, the pent-up anger in Mr. Wood's heart finally exploded at this moment, and he roared without any scruples about gentlemanly demeanor: "Impossible, boy, are you challenging the order of Hollywood? Hollywood, even if it is an editor, it comes out step by step, and no one will ask for two million at once, not even Spielberg, your first request has committed the taboo of Hollywood."

As for the second request, it is even more vexatious, and we Paramount will not accept the blackmail. You're blackmailing. I don't understand. ”

Ye Ming didn't seem surprised at all, and said with a smile: "This, if you think so, then forget it, Mr. Wood can think about it, but I think." Ms. Ai Qiuhua will be interested in my conditions. ”

Ye Ming said that he didn't dare to agree to any of the two conditions, even if he agreed to one, then he might be completely fired after he went back, and Wood had to think about his job.

When he saw Ms. Ai Qiuhua, Ye Ming noticed that this lady was not simple, and there was a shrewd look in her eyes. Ai Qiuhua has the reputation of the white fox, so he is naturally a very shrewd person. The clever thing about her is to say: "Mr. Ye Ming, what conditions do you want to talk about." ”

As the president of Warner Bros. Asia Pacific, she used a woman's unique perspective to show the price of [Harry Potter], now, Columbia, Fox and other companies have not made any moves, if they wait until they have any moves to compete together, it is estimated that it will be more troublesome, when the time comes, Ye Ming is likely to wait for the price and sell, yes, Chinese people seem to like to wait for the price and sell. Ye Ming was not verbose at all, and directly restated his conditions.

Ai Qiuhua said that he didn't yell and be angry like Wood, this is a rational businessman, and a rational businessman is the most terrifying.

After pondering for a while, a look of shock flashed in Ai Qiuhua's crystal-like eyes and said, "Mr. Ye's ambition is not small, you are going to be the No. 1 private cinema in China." ”

Huaxia first, obviously, Warner Bros. knows that Huaxia will allow foreign capital to enter a field like the cinema line next year, and what Ye Ming wants to do is to use foreign capital to establish his own cinema chain. 20 million US dollars, that is the rhythm of being the first private cinema in China. At this time, Ai Qiuhua also had to be shocked by such a young man in front of him, what kind of young man is this.

Ye Ming said with a smile: "I don't dare to say it first, but I don't like to put my fate in the hands of others, and being able to do it as a theater is the king." Since the state allows it, I also want to seize such an opportunity. Hearing what Ai Qiuhua meant, there was room for negotiation, which also made Ye Ming happy in his heart. At that moment, Ai Qiuhua nodded and said, "I want to know more about this plan." ”

Ye Ming said in detail: "Let people inspect the first, second and third-tier cities in our country, there are about more than 170, of which there are investment value, I analyzed more than 80, and the real feasible ones are about the first and second tier cities, so that there are a total of 58 cities, each city has at least two cinemas, so that there are at least 130 cinemas."

The company can be divided into five regional subsidiaries. I plan to establish a joint venture with Warner Bros. to establish a brilliant cinema line, and you will invest 20 million yuan and own 40% of the company's shares, and I want 60%. China's market is very vast, and after China's accession to the WTO, it will inevitably be a battleground for soldiers. Now is the most cost-effective investment. ”

Ai Qiuhua pondered for a moment and said, "I want to ask for the opinion of the headquarters on this. ”

She's the president of Asia Pacific, not the president of Warner Bros., and she needs to be asked about that.

However, Ye Ming still underestimated Warner Bros.'s determination to get [Harry Potter], and he quickly agreed.

Ai Qiuhua himself felt a little incredible: "Mr. Ye, the headquarters has agreed, but we need to send a financial staff over, and the financial staff has the right to supervise the use of 20 million US dollars." ”

Ye Ming nodded, it would be strange if Warner Bros. didn't send someone over.

As for the issue of copyright, Ai Qiuhua said that two million is impossible, Hollywood has its own rules, Ye Ming is not qualified to ask for two million US dollars in copyright fees, 500,000 US dollars, US dollars is the highest, of course, if the first part of [Harry Potter] can be a big seller, then the copyright of the second part can be improved. Box office for Harry Potter. Ye Ming said that there was no pressure at all.

After signing the preliminary contract, Ye Ming returned to the company, brought Sister Fang Fang, Hong Fei, and Li Dazhi to the company, and proposed to build a brilliant cinema, which made the three of them very shocked, the country had just begun to allow foreign capital to enter the theater, and Ye Ming himself got foreign capital, and he got 20 million US dollars at once, which is simply incredible.

In the end, Ye Ming decided to let Hong Fei, the old Jianghu, serve as the manager of the brilliant cinema line, and set out to establish the brilliant cinema line, of course, the new cinema line is the next policy, and the best policy is to buy the cinema line directly like Qilu Province, and Ye Ming emphasized that the real estate property rights of the cinema line should be in their own hands. This condition made Hong Fei a little confused.

However, just as Sister Fang Fang said, the company has no money, and almost all the working capital has been invested in Brilliant Cinemas.
