192: Shallow for help
Spent an afternoon in Qiao Jinlian's office.
Before evening, the two drove home together.
Wang Shu ordered takeout from the mall, and as soon as dinner was put on the table, Ji Aiai also happened to come back.
Miao Miao had been waiting at the staircase leading to the garage for a long time, and when she saw Ji Aiai coming up, she let out a cordial 'meow~~'. Ji Aiai picked it up with some difficulty, and said likely: "Fat Miaomiao, you are dead now." ”
"Meow~"
Qiao Jinlian over there was already beckoning: "Aiai, let's wash and eat first, the food will be cold later." ”
"Oh, I'll be right here. ”
Ji Aiai put Miao Miao down, stroked it a few times, got up and went to the bathroom to wash her hands, and sat at the dining table.
Wang Shu handed her a pair of chopsticks.
casually asked, "It's going to be a holiday, right?"
He hadn't been to teach the students for the past few days, and he had almost forgotten what day of the week it was.
Ji Aiai said: "Yes, there are three days off yet, from this Saturday to next Friday." ”
"Where are you going to go on vacation?"
"Hmm~ I don't know. ”
Ji Aiai shook her head.
The National Day of ordinary college students is generally to visit the attractions in the city where the school is located, and the more homely thing is to play games for a few days and sleep lazily for a few days.
After all, I'm just a student, and I don't have the money to travel.
"Sister An Ran isn't coming back?"
"She's been in trouble lately, and she may not be able to come back for a long time. ”
This time I went home to celebrate An's father's birthday, and was left by my family to go to the company to exercise, originally An Ran was not interested in running a company, but who made An Yan worse than her?
The family's inheritance must always be inherited by a person.
After eating, it was just half past six.
Wang Shu accompanies Ji Ai to play with cats.
Later, I will go to yoga to practice yoga and move a little to digest and digest food, otherwise it will be easy to hurt my stomach when I exercise for a while.
The phone suddenly remembered.
Wang Shu took it out and looked at it, it was a video connection.
The contact person is Yin Qianqian.
Since the last time she left, Wang Shu hadn't seen her for almost three months, and the phone call had passed through a few times, and this was the first time that the video had been made.
Wang Shu got up and walked farther away and pressed to connect.
A shallow and beautiful face appeared on the screen.
However, she didn't seem to look very good, her brows were lightly locked, and her eyes couldn't be raised.
"Shallow, have you returned home?"
"No, I don't. ”
As soon as Yin Qianqian said two words, he let out a long sigh.
Wang Shu said with concern: "What's the matter? It should be morning over there, didn't you sleep well last night?"
Wang Shu's observation is still quite good.
Yin Qianqian really didn't sleep well last night.
Not only last night, but she hasn't slept well for the past few days.
When I first arrived, I thought that with the connections I had made in Hollywood before, and the "Resident Evil" given to her by Wang Shu in my hand, I could smoothly insert a kick.
But who knows, she thinks things simple.
"Tree, I'm in some trouble here, and the cooperation with the United States Production Company is not ideal. ”
"I recently consulted with several well-known lawyers, and their advice was to let you sue me, first get the copyright back, and then only need to compensate the partner for part of the liquidated damages. ”
"Otherwise, my hard work in the past few years, as well as Resident Evil, may be given to others in vain. ”
Yin Qianqian may be a little distracted, and he has no clue when he speaks.
But the general meaning is expressed.
As the world's most famous film production location, when it comes to Hollywood movies, the first impression is that it is a big investment and a big production.
From the creation, production, economy, official announcement, distribution, and a series of operations, each of which costs a lot of money.
With such a huge amount of investment, it is not so easy to make money at the box office alone. Once the investment fails, the losses caused may directly bankrupt a company.
Risk is not at all proportional to income.
But the people of the United States are still doing this, and the more they do it, the more fragrant it is.
Why?
"Box office revenue accounts for only a small part of Hollywood, and most of their money is around, in other words, they make big movies just to promote and promote an IP, and the box office is just an incidental additional income. ”
"In order to share the risk of filmmaking, they attract investment from all over the world, and sometimes after a single step of film financing, the producer does not need any investment. ”
"In this way, the most risky part is distributed to outsiders, as long as they grasp the IP, the part of making money is all in their hands. ”
"They seem to be open and allow people from all over the world to invest. ”
"Actually, it's cutting leeks. ”
People who have never suffered the loss of Hollywood always think that this place is the world, and only after being eaten and wiped clean do they find that this is a hunting ground to lure foreign investors in.
Yin Qianqian only knew that he had been cheated when he celebrated with his actor friends in the United States after signing a contract with the other party.
Among the agreements that the other party asked her to sign, there was an IP VAM agreement.
From the very beginning, they wanted to take the IP of "Resident Evil".
Wang Shu understood a little.
Hesitant: "Is it possible to fight a lawsuit across borders?"
Yin Qianqian nodded: "Yes, we just signed an agreement with Mi Guo this spring, which involves the protection of cultural property rights, and Hollywood just sentenced two similar cases last month, both of which were won by the plaintiff." ”
"You can find Mr. Lin, she may know about this. ”
"Well, I'm going to go find her. ”
Wang Shu suddenly cared: "You don't have to worry, it doesn't matter if you can win or not, money is a foreign thing, and I will support you if you don't have it, the most important thing is that you protect yourself." ”
Yin Qianqian has been annoyed to death recently.
With Wang Shu's two words, his heart suddenly relaxed a lot.
*****
Hung up the video.
It's already seven twenty o'clock.
Lin Wanqiu usually eats at 7 o'clock in the evening, drinks a little porridge for ten minutes, and rests for half an hour before exercising. Wang Shu usually goes on time at 7:40, but if he has something today, he is a little earlier.
Meanwhile.
Lin Wanqiu was sitting on the sofa and talking to Feng Shaoping.
"How's it going?"
"I'm halfway there. ”
"What do you mean by being halfway there?"
"Hmm~"
Lin Wanqiu said exquisitely: "Strictly speaking, he got me, I didn't get him." ”
Feng Shaoping was even more confused.
"What are you, me, and him, you just said that you slept or not?"
"Nope. ”
"Damn. ”
Feng Shaoping said angrily: "How many days have you been here, can you still do it?"
Lin Wanqiu sighed and said, "I can't help it. ”
"There is no shortage of women around him, but there is a lack of relatives, I have already said that I can do whatever I want, but he just pretends not to understand, I can't force him, right?"
Lin Wanqiu is almost directly pushing back now.
But she was worried that being too active would lower the influence in Wang Shu's heart.
When the time comes, people get it, but the feelings fade.
That's not what she wants.
"Eh, there it is. ”
At this time, Feng Shaoping suddenly laughed: "It's National Day soon, you find a chance to ask him out alone, when the lonely man and widow are out of the house, won't the matter fall into place?"
Lin Wanqiu asked rhetorically: "He is always accompanied by two or three women, how can I have the opportunity to ask him out alone?"
Feng Shaoping said: "It's not simple, isn't Xiaomo abroad." ”
"You just said that there is chaos abroad, and you want to go to see your parents and children, and let him accompany you, isn't it OK?"
Lin Wanqiu hesitated, but still felt that it was not good.
It's not that she's afraid that Wang Shu won't accompany her.
She was afraid that Wang Shu's flowery radish would fall in love with her daughter.
In case the time comes......
"Alas~~ Forget it, I'll think of a way. ”
"It's not early, I'll hang up first. ”
As soon as Lin Wanqiu finished speaking, she heard the sound of fingerprint unlocking from the gate.
