Hu Wenhai declined the Irish coffee handed over by Scott and ordered a new cappuccino.

By this time, he, the film director Scott, and the producer Badala were already sitting in a hotel café in Manhattan, New York.

"Mr.hu, can you tell us the specifics of your F-14?" asked Scott, somewhat curious.

"Absolutely. Hu Wenhai took out a dozen photos from his backpack, put them in front of the two people opposite, and said: "My model aircraft uses a small turbojet engine as power, as the two of you can see, this F-14 model aircraft is a high-simulation model, and every detail strives to be consistent with the original aircraft." In particular, because it has enough interior space, we can even put a camera in its cockpit. ”

"Oh, that's important!" Scott's eyes lit up, apparently a surprise. Capturing aerial footage has always been a challenge for him, and in the original history, he had to use a hand-held camera because the camera could not be kept stable on a fighter jet. It would be great if you could fit the camera into the cockpit of a model airplane!

"In addition, the model aircraft is able to transmit video signals in real time to nearby receivers......

Hu Wenhai introduced all the performance and characteristics of the F-14 model aircraft in his hand back and forth, and now Scott and Badala are not only interested, but also have a posture of not marrying.

"Well, Mr.hu. It was the producer Badara, who took off his glasses and said, "This little thing of yours is so wonderful, now the only question is, how much does it cost?"

"Oh, here's our price list, you can take a look. ”

Hu Wenhai placed a list printed in English in front of Scott, listing the fees for various accessories and processing requirements one by one.

Seeing such an article, Scott was slightly stunned and asked, "Oh, let me take a look, it's quite like it." Haha, if I hadn't known that we were talking about model airplanes, I would have thought I was talking to Grumman's salesman about cooperation. ”

"As a model airplane enthusiast, I have to say that you are very business-talented!" Badala glanced at the list and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"Oh, I think you two misunderstood. Hu Wenhai took out two business cards and put them in front of the two, and said with a smile: "I want to re-introduce, in fact, this F-14 model aircraft is not my personal work." I mean, of course, technically, I have all the power to it, but the manufacturer of the model airplanes is China Bohai Huaguang Precision Machinery Factory. We are able to customize the model jet of all the aircraft in the world according to the needs of our customers. ”

"Oh, how come I've never heard of such a product? You're a Chinese company? So, Hu you're a Chinese!" Scott looked at Hu Wenhai in amazement, as if he had never seen him before.

It is not surprising that there were very few people who came to the United States from China in this era, and it was even less obvious to throw them on a land as large as the United States. What's more, if the business is done to the United States, it will be even more strange for the Americans.

At least from Scott's understanding, the Chinese don't seem to have anything to buy. But of course, maybe it's just that he usually buys things and pays little attention to the place of origin? In this era, there is no Chinese manufacturing and Chinese threat, and the United States even claims to give China NATO the treatment of foreign countries.

In any case, Hu Wenhai's Chinese identity and his fluent American English still amazed Scott and Badala for a long time.

But for Americans, business is business, and it doesn't matter which country you do business with, as long as it's profitable. Although it has received strong support from the US imperialists and others, the budget is still a bit large at present.

According to Badara's expectations, the budget for the whole film is about fifteen million. That's 15 million dollars in 1985, and it's almost the same as buying an F-18. In terms of exchange rate alone, the US dollar is the strongest at this time. The gap between its purchasing power and that of the future US dollar is probably larger than the gap between the RMB in 1985 and the RMB in 2015.

However, no one would know that after its release, it will create a box office miracle of 170 million and bring the highest conscription rate in the United States since the 50s. The power of the conscription advertisements of the first class of American imperialism and others is clearly visible in this film.

However, as with all Pentagon projects, this is still in the flickering phase before the project begins.

Without the support of actual results, it is not an easy task to convince the first class to lend aircraft carriers and carrier-based aircraft to support the shooting.

If the new shooting plan can use some dangerous shots to shoot with model airplanes, it will undoubtedly greatly increase the possibility that it will be used in the Pentagon.

"Well, let's see what you have to offer......"

Scott and Badala bumped heads, pencil in hand marking items on the list. Sometimes two people can reach a consensus, and sometimes they have to have a few arguments. Well, but Hollywood implements a producer responsibility system, and at the end of the quarrel, it is often Badala who wins the final victory. However, Scott is not easy to match, and he can always make some concessions.

When the final altered list was returned to Hu Wenhai, Scott and Badala's faces were literally "come and kill us" expressions.

"Well, 5 F-14s, 3 F5-E, and 1 A4 attack aircraft. Oh, let me see, you also asked for a camera, which isn't on the list. ”

Hu Wenhai took his ballpoint pen and wrote his quotation on the back of each project. When the final statistics are made, this is already a pretty good number.

"Well, that's the price we can deliver. Hu Wenhai turned the list back to the other side and said lightly.

"Oh, what! half a million dollars!" Badala couldn't help but shout when he saw the final number, "Oh my God, it's just some model airplanes!"

"Calm down, calm Mr. Badara. Hu Wenhai was there, and said with a smile: "I gave you a 20% discount and erased the fraction, which is already a price that is not more affordable." ”

"But it's too expensive, it's almost $50,000 a plane, and God knows how there can be such an expensive model airplane in the world." ”

"Oh, Mr. Badala, but it can help you save 500,000, 5 million, or even 50 million dollars!" Hu Wenhai shook his finger and said: "Do you think, if the footage is shot with a real machine, how much will you have to pay for the loss of an F-14? If an F-14 of 30 million dollars falls, who can afford to pay the responsibility? And our F-14 is a real high-quality imitation, and it can definitely achieve the effect of being fake!"

"Even so, the price is too expensive for us to accept......"

"Well, well, if I can offer a win-win option that way, how about we do the placement?"

"Implantation and placement of ads?"

"Yes, if you're willing to advertise my model airplane in the film, then I'll give you a $200,000 reduction in the offer. ”

"This ......"

Badala and Scott exchanged ears, and then nodded as if they were constipated! Hu Wenhai's heart was simply happy, oh my God, if you advertise the mock-up machine, are you afraid that you won't make any money?

As long as he thinks that there are advertisements for Chinese aircraft in the conscription advertisements of the first class of US imperialists, Hu Wenhai feels really embarrassed.

"Okay, then it's decided! 300,000 dollars, 10 model airplanes, we need half a month. Plus shipping from China, I can guarantee it will arrive next month. ”

"Oh, it doesn't need to be so fast. Badala hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Our film won't start filming until next year, just ship the goods within this year." ”

"Alright then, Iverson, Iverson!" Hu Wenhai beckoned to the door of the café, and the strong white man who had helped block the wall of people at the air show ran over.

"Please ask the people in Elkan to help me find a lawyer, we need to draft an agreement. ”

"Okay sir, can you arrange it within this week?"

Hu Wenhai was stunned for a moment, nodded and said, "Oh, okay, I think what I said before about the arrival of goods in one month is indeed a bit inaccurate." ”

Iverson was an assistant he had borrowed from Elkan, a tall, muscular white man who probably didn't work well in Elkan's New York branch, but at least he was a hard-working fellow.

If he says it will take a week to get a lawyer in place, it really will take a week. Hu Wenhai used the efficiency of China in the future to subconsciously think of the current United States, but he forgot that lawyers in this country never have to worry about having no business. If an outsider like him who does not have a dedicated lawyer does not want to spend money in vain, he has to patiently queue up in the appointment list of the law firm.

"Ha, it's okay, I think we still have plenty of time. Badala was obviously a little happy that Hu Wenhai was deflated, and comforted the young man with a smile.

"Can you use this time to visit New York, which is the most prosperous city in the United States, and in China, where you have a population of eight million?"

Hu Wenhai secretly complained, thinking of the future 20 million emperor capital and 25 million people of the magic capital, it is not a good thing to really want to tell sù that there are many others......

"Oh, that's right!" Hu Wenhai said as if he suddenly remembered, took out more than a dozen handwritten wire-bound manuscripts from his backpack and placed them on the table, looked at Badala and Scott.

"I have a few scripts for novels, movies, and TV series here, and I wonder if the two of you are interested?"
