Cobia and Paimon have always been in competition.

Among the Hollywood movies in May, "God of War Night" is Paimon's, and "Dark Army" is Gobia's.

Judging from the current Chinese box office, Gobia is actually at a disadvantage, but in the Hollywood box office, Gobia has the upper hand.

The total global box office?

Well, one is 50 million total box office, and the other is 49 million and 500 million box office, which is really the same.

In other words, it's hard to determine who wins and loses.

So, when James knew that John also came to grab this "Groundbacock Day", he began to secretly compete.

He wanted to get the overseas authorization of "Groundbag Day", which was originally because the film could make money, and then added a touch of face problems.

He felt like he couldn't afford to lose.

John is also similar to James.

The last "Explosive Aliens" made him scolded miserably, and this time he not only wanted to wash away his impression on the side of the upper leadership, but also with the mentality that he couldn't lose.

When the overseas licensing of a film is scratched into a competitive sense, then the taste begins to change.

Of course, the two began to compete in private, but the expression on their faces was still the same as if everyone was a good friend.

After all, not long after getting out of the car, countless reporters surrounded them.

"Director James...... Excuse me, what are you doing in China this time?"

"Mr. John...... Are you here with Mr. James, and what are you doing in China?"

"Hello Director James, did you come to China to prepare a new movie? I heard that your "California Nights" is expected to be released in June? I don't know if it's really ......."

"Hello, Mr. John, is it true that you and your wife are not on good terms?"

“......”

The camera's lights are constantly flickering.

Countless microphones were handed to the lips of the two of them.

Countless reporters had excited expressions on their faces.

In the face of these cameras, both of them had smiles on their faces.

"I didn't come to China to make a movie this time, but to visit my old friend Lu Yuan, and at the same time, we Paimon are very interested in Lu Yuan's "Groundbag Day", so I came here today to talk about the overseas distribution rights of this movie......

"I also came to visit Mr. Lu Yuan in particular, and my purpose is the same as Mr. James, and I also came for the overseas distribution rights of "Groundbag Day", and I felt sorry to miss the "This Man from Earth" last time, so I don't want to miss it again this time......"

The answer was the same......

But all the reporters heard a hint of gunpowder and explosions!

Yes!

Hollywood actually fell in love with Lu Yuan's "Groundbag Day"!

What does that mean?

Does it mean that there are finally movies in Huaxia that are recognized by Hollywood and are being scrambled?

The eyes of all the reporters lit up at the same time, and they were instantly excited!

This Lu Yuan is awesome!

....................................

"How's it going, is the overseas copyright out?"

"Director Shen, Paimon's side means that the overseas price of this movie will be pressed down a little more......"

"How much are they going to press?"

"A million dollars. ”

"It's only a million dollars......

"Director Shen, there is no way to do this, since the overseas box office of "Explosive Aliens" hit the streets, it is now more and more difficult for Chinese films to go overseas, and even if they go out, they will not have a high price of more than three million US dollars. ”

"My movie may not be very satisfactory at the box office in China, but it will not be bad at the overseas box office, after all, the content of "Alien Era" is interstellar science fiction, and I think the plot is not bad...... I think it's necessary to talk to Paimon......"

"Director Shen, it's useless to say this. ”

"Why is it useless?"

"These old beauties only look at the box office performance and past results, in the past two years, our overseas movies have almost all been wiped out, and we really don't have the capital to talk to them now......"

"But a million dollars is too low!"

"Director Shen, we have to bear with it, as long as this movie is popular overseas, no, not to mention it, well, as long as we can create the corresponding value and let Paimon make a lot of money, then the buyout price of our next movie will have a chance to be mentioned......"

"Hey...... That's all there is to it. ”

“......”

At noon, after Shen Lianjie hung up the phone of the person in charge overseas, he silently sat on a chair and looked into the distance.

"Alien Era" has officially been drawn today.

This movie made Jet Shen a little doubtful about life.

The box office of more than 10 million on the premiere day made Jet Shen very excited, and he even fantasized that the box office of this movie could break 300 million......

Pity......

It's that chicken urine again, the box office has been declining, although it is a little longer lasting than the first two movies, but it is still a tragic movie drawn early......

The total box office of this movie in China has just exceeded 80 million.

With an investment of 50 million and a box office of 80 million, the result is really ......

Pounced again.

He is still scolded on the Internet, and even if he continues like this, he feels that he is going to be scolded by fans as the king of bad movies.

Word-of-mouth and box office double-hit the streets, making him officially autistic.

In this case, Jet Shen began to focus on the overseas box office, if the overseas box office can explode, then this movie can still save it......

But.

Overseas was told that the buyout price of the film was very low, only one million......

What can a million dollars do?

Can you buy the villa written by Sun Peng in Yanjing?

No......

"Ding-dong. ”

Just when Jet Shen was sitting on the chair and didn't know what expression to use to describe his emotions at the moment, he heard a "ding dong" sound from the computer.

Then he saw a pop-up news.

"Surprise! Director James and John came to China together to ......"

Title Party!

This bunch of unscrupulous journalists!

Although Jet Shen thought so in his heart, his hand still honestly clicked on the news.

After all, James is a Hollywood director, and he is definitely a heavyweight director, so he definitely has something important to do when he comes to China.

Maybe you're coming to China to make some new films?

After clicking on the news, a video popped up, and after Jet Shen saw the content on the video, the expression he was expecting changed instantly.

"I'm here on behalf of Paimon, and I'm sorry for the misunderstanding caused by the last movie "This Man is from Earth......"

"This time, I was very sincere...... In terms of the buyout price of overseas issuance rights, we will definitely be generous, and the company is allowed to give Mr. Lu a certain share ......"

James and John's voices echoed in Jet Shen's ears.

Shen Lianjie's chest continued to rise and fall, and at the same time, his face gradually became flushed, as if he had been slapped hard.

When I was worried about the price of overseas issuance rights, this Lu Yuan's overseas distribution rights turned out to be ......

Actually being scrambled?

This moment......

Jet Shen closed his eyes.

At this moment, it is difficult to describe his mood at the moment.

........................

When James and John came to Lu Yuan's company, they were all shocked by the size of Lu Yuan's company!

Yes, shocked.

They've never seen a company so small.

Can this also be considered an entertainment company?

This......

This whole company is not as good as a department of their company!

They asked a few bodyguards and their respective assistants to stand outside and not go in.

They felt that if all their bodyguards went in, the room would become very crowded.

"Two gentlemen, please ...... here"

Wu Tingting politely brought the two to the conference room.

In the conference room, Lu Yuan was already waiting there.

"Mr. James, Mr. John, good afternoon......"

"Good afternoon, Mr. Lu......"

"Hello ......"

"Mr. Lu Yuan, I actually came here this time for only one purpose, that is, I hope to get the overseas distribution rights of "The Day of the Groundhog", and our company can give you certain overseas rights......

"Mr. Lu Yuan, our company is the same, I believe you should know the strength of our brother......

After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, James took the lead in saying his intention, and after he finished speaking, Lu Yuan didn't reply, and John instantly said his purpose.

“......”

Wu Tingting wanted to translate, but was stopped by Lu Yuan.

He wanted to hone his speaking skills.

He feels that his English has improved a lot recently, and although he can't understand the details, he can still understand the meaning in general.

So, he opened his mouth, organized his words, and exhaled deeply.

"Glad two... Two ...... Yes...... Like...... Movie My ...... I'm glad I'm ...... Actually...... I ......"

After hearing Lu Yuan's words, the two of them were at a loss......

The air was suddenly quiet......

Lu Yuan's expectant expression suddenly became embarrassed......

"Mr. Lu, let me translate your words......"

"Good ......"

When James and the two listened to Wu Tingting's translation, the two finally became a little surprised.

It turned out that he meant to refuse.

The two looked at each other......

Both sides felt a hint of gunpowder.

"Mr. Lu Yuan, you should listen to our conditions first and then refuse...... You should know our company, our company is one of the seven major Hollywood companies, our company ......" At this time, John immediately took the lead in introducing his company.

"Our Paimon company is not bad, the strength is obvious to all, and we are ......," John said halfway through, and James also started......

“......”

“......”

Five million dollars, six million dollars......

5 percent and 6 percent......

After hearing this kind of number in the mouths of the two, Lu Yuan felt that he saw that the money was beckoning to him.

He thought that he was not greedy for money, and he would not be tempted by money......

But......

He found out he was wrong.

Although he already has hundreds of millions of yuan, although he himself feels that he is really not a greedy person.

But......

He still couldn't resist the glittering golden look.

His heart was pounding.

He is calm on the surface, but deep down he has already been turbulent, and heaven and man are at war.

Or......

Sold directly?

No, I can't sell it, after all, I have my own company in Hollywood!

However, what if this movie does not make money in overseas markets? Who can guarantee that their films will make money in overseas markets and will become popular? Can the miracle of "This Man from Earth" happen again? If it loses money, won't it be a chicken and a chicken?

Perhaps, the most conservative way is to sell them directly, anyway, it is always not a loss to take the money first.

But......

Lu Yuan found himself very entangled.

Finally......

"Sorry...... Both, I've already sold the overseas license of this movie to Huaxin Brothers, sorry ......"

"I'm sorry, I can't reveal the exact number, I'm sorry anyway......"

"Two, Wu Tingting, you help you two book a hotel ......"

“......”

It takes courage to say no.

Lu Yuan raised the courage to refuse the two.

After refusing, although he apologized and did not make any other gestures, in fact he felt that his body had been hollowed out.

He saw the glittering money leave before his eyes......

I'm not a money grubber!

I'm not! I've never been!

He tried to remind himself to let go of these messy thoughts.

But......

Nothing to do!

"Mr. Lu Yuan, I think we can still talk, in fact, I think ......"

"Yes, Huaxin Brothers' company is too small, I know you pay more attention to affection, but this "Groundbalist Day" is also your hard work, isn't it?

“......”

"Sorry, sorry......"

Lu Yuan shook his head and looked out the window.

“......”

....................................

James and John left the office......

Both of them had the feeling that Lu Yuan had taken the wrong medicine.

What's the matter with this man?

Whether it's granted, Paimon, or Gobia, everyone is fine, and at most it's just a little upset.

But......

No matter how they persuaded Lu Yuan and talked to Lu Yuan about various benefits, Lu Yuan insisted on disagreeing and refused all the time.

Isn't this taking the wrong medicine?

It's better to work with a strong company than with such a small company, right?

They shook their heads.

Just as they walked out of the office door, Thomson and Donnie arrived.

Behind them were a group of excited reporters who were stopped by security guards.

Journalists are really excited!

Thomson, James, John......

These people have come to find Lu Yuan!

It's all here!

Isn't that exciting?

However, Thomson is probably hopeless.

Who made him late?

But it's not right......

Looking at the expressions of James and John, it seems to ......

Not quite right?

Thomson was also annoyed when he saw the two of them, and he felt that he might be really late.

But he looked at the two of them with a little wrong expression.

"Director James, Mr. John, you guys are ......"

"Go back, Director Thomson, Mr. Lu Yuan has authorized ......"

"Huh, to whom?"

"Huaxin Brothers ......"

"Whew, Mr. James, what did I think...... Haha, you may not understand Mr. Lu Yuan, I do...... Donnie, let's go in ......."

"Yes. ”

“......”

Thomson and James glanced at the confident Thomson suspiciously.

We don't understand Mr. Lu Yuan?

You know?

They decided to wait a little longer for Thomson......

About twenty minutes later, they saw Thomson and Donnie being sent out of the company by Wu Tingting and Lu Yuan with suspicious faces......

That confidence seemed to be gone.

He also looked like Lu Yuan had taken the wrong medicine......

"Huh, Director James, Mr. John, are you still here?"

"Don't stand with us, why don't you have dinner together?"

“......”

In the distance, Lu Yuan saw the two of them standing in the company's courtyard, and his eyes lit up, and his face was full of enthusiasm.

..............................

Joaquin Headquarters.

"What?"

"Did Lu Yuan really take the wrong medicine?"

"Mislink, Paimon, Gobia...... He rejected them?"

"I'm ......"

"It's fake news, right?"

After hearing the news, Jet Shen also began to doubt his life......

He didn't even feel that he and Lu Yuan were playing the same game......
