After the bell rang for five or six seconds, the phone was connected.

A middle-aged man's voice came: "Hello!"

Wang Huan smiled and said: "Mr. Yarman, hello, I am Wang Huan, I heard that you are interested in taking over the "Harry Potter" series of movies? ”

"That's true. ”

Yarman spoke, "I'm always available. ”

Hearing Yarman's words, Wang Huan was overjoyed.

He immediately booked a place nearby that was suitable for business and sent the address to the other party.

About an hour later.

Wang Huan met the internationally renowned Hollywood director at the place agreed by the two. Yarman is forty-five years old, but his face is slightly old, he wears a black suit and a pair of bright eyes.

"Hello, Mr. Yarman. ”

"Hello, Mr. Wang Huan. ”

The two shook hands, barely said any polite words, and went straight to business.

Wang Huan smiled and said, "Mr. Yarman, I have admired the name for a long time. I used to watch your film "The Magical Starry Sky of Lang'er", and I was fascinated by the magnificent magical world in the movie. It was because of this movie that I re-acquainted myself with the magical world. That's why I contacted you through Mr. Chard, hoping that you can direct "Harry Potter" and bring it to the screen as a surprise to Harry Potter fans all over the world. ”

Yarman smiled faintly and accepted Wang Huan's praise: "Britain is originally the birthplace of the wizarding world, and I have been more researched in this area, so I have directed a few movies that are acceptable at the box office, Mr. Wang Huan, you have a good reputation." I'm also looking forward to the Harry Potter book series being adapted into a movie. I have watched Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, and Mr. Wang Huan, your construction and understanding of magic and the magical world is truly remarkable. If the scenes in the book are restored and presented into the movie, it will definitely become a series of wonderful magic movies. ”

Wang Huan's eyes lit up: "So, Mr. Yarman, are you very sure to direct the "Harry Potter" series of movies?"

Yarman took a soft sip of his coffee.

A moment later.

He smiled lightly: "Of course, it is my honor to be able to direct a great movie like "Harry Potter" that is destined to go down in history. I have a few requests, though. ”

It's normal for an international director like Yarman to have requirements.

So Wang Huan was not surprised at all, but smiled and said, "Please speak." ”

Yarman's eyes were blazing:

"First: the director's salary is 10% of the production cost in the international industry, but the salary for any film I take is 18% of the production cost. I need to make this clear to you in advance.

Second: In addition to the director's salary, I need to take 5% of the box office.

Third: Mr. Wang Huan, you should not have found a good investor for this movie, so I am ready to invest 50 million US dollars. I don't know what Mr. Wang Huan thinks?

Fourth: I'm currently working on a movie, so I won't be able to shoot Harry Potter until October, so we have to communicate in advance. ”

Oh?

Wang Huan raised his eyebrows, this director has a great appetite!

He pondered for a while before he spoke: "Mr. Yarman, there is no problem with the salary, and I can agree to 18% of the production fee." As for the filming time of "Harry Potter", we can also discuss it separately. But the second and third points, I can't agree with them. ”

5% share of the box office?

Wang Huan knows that the box office of the "Harry Potter" series of movies is as high as billions of dollars, isn't this going to give Yarman hundreds of millions of dollars in profits for nothing? The appetite of the world's No. 1 director is not so big!

As for investment, it's even more impossible!

Like this kind of high-hit IP movie that is destined to be a big hit, Wang Huan will give his investment to other people he doesn't know if he is stupid, even if he can't take all the investment alone, won't he give favors?

It's just that when Wang Huan finished speaking.

Yarman's face became not so good-looking: "Mr. Wang Huan, I may have a different opinion. Of the four points I just mentioned, the first and fourth points can be negotiated as appropriate, even if I get paid a little less. But there are two other things that I can't give up either. ”

It's a bit of a hassle.

Wang Huan raised his eyebrows, and his eyes showed solemnity: "Mr. Yarman, I can increase your salary to 20% of the production fee." Nothing else to talk about. ”

"I can reduce the salary to 10% of the production cost, and the rest is also not discussed. ”

Yarman didn't let up in the slightest.

The two talked like this for about half an hour, and there was still no progress.

Wang Huan stared at Yarman's eyes, and suddenly sighed: "Mr. Yarman, so we just don't have to talk about it?"

Yarman spread his hands:

"Mr. Wang Huan, maybe you haven't recognized a fact yet. Although a work like "Harry Potter" is popular around the world, it is extremely difficult to put it on the screen, and we need to rebuild a huge magical world in the movie, and I am the only one in the world who can control this vast scene! If I change to any other director, it is very likely to ruin the work of "Harry Potter". And I'm going to make it even more brilliant!"

"I can tell you for sure, if I'm directing, I'm going to make you at least a billion dollars, but other directors can lose you hundreds of millions of dollars. Which is more important, Mr. Wang Huan, you should know very well in your heart. Therefore, it makes sense for me to ask for a 5% share of the box office because I deserve it. As for the investment I'm talking about, don't you invest the same in anyone, and why do you refuse to give money to your door?"

Wang Huan understood when he listened.

Did Yarman think he had pinched his life, so he took advantage of the situation to put forward conditions in order to win the maximum benefit for himself?

I see, this is the starting price of sitting on the ground!

The corners of Wang Huan's mouth hooked up a trace of arc.

It's a pity that he was never a threatened person.

The next moment.

Wang Huan showed a gentle smile: "Mr. Yarman, your words are very reasonable. ”

Yarman's eyes brightened: "So, Mr. Wang Huan, did you agree to my conditions? Haha, I can tell you that you have made a wise choice, and you will be proud of your decision." ”

"Nope. ”

Wang Huan shook his head: "Mr. Yarman, you are wrong, I did not agree to your conditions. ”

Yarman was stunned: "What do you mean?"

Wang Huan clapped his hands and stood up from his seat: "Mr. Yarman, since we can't reach an agreement, then I can only give up the idea of cooperating with you." I'm already done, I'm sorry I still have something to do, let's go first. ”

After speaking, ignoring Yarman's stunned expression, Shi Shiran walked outside.

After half ringing.

Yarman finally came back to his senses, a trace of anger flashed in his eyes, and he shouted: "Wang Huan, you are acting rashly! You shouldn't make such a decision, this is not the courage that a mature man should have, you will regret it! I'm telling the truth, no one in the world can make "Harry Potter" well except me, if you don't ask me to be the director, I'm sure "Harry Potter" will be ruined in your hands!"

However, no matter how Yarman shouted, Wang Huan never hesitated, and disappeared from his eyes.

"Fack!"

Yarman's face turned extremely ugly.
