Chapter 43: Returning Home
Barry Diller went on to say: As long as your movie is not released in the United States, you will basically lose, not only will you not win a billion dollars, but you will also pay a billion dollars, which is equivalent to paying two billion dollars, a full 14 billion yuan! You only need to take out a little to win, and there is no business in the world that only gains but does not pay, right? I can tell you that if you don't give some money, there isn't a single film and television company in the United States that will help you with the distribution.
After Barry Diller finished speaking, he picked up the coffee and drank it, he wanted Li An to take what he had just said, to deal with such a young man, he had to force him to say it so bluntly, he was really tired.
Ang Lee thought for a while and said, "How much does Paramount plan to want?"
Barry Diler put down the coffee, stretched out a hand and said: I'll give you a bottom line of at least 500 million.
Ang Lee stood up and left.
Stop, don't you want to think about the $1 billion you have to pay to Xiangjiang if you lose?" Barry Dille said angrily.
Holding such a stunned young man is really a headache for Barry Diller, who has ever been angry like this since he became the president of Paramount.
Li An turned around and said: At most, 100 million, if not, I'll find another family.
Barry Diller's face darkened: Said at least three hundred million, if you don't agree, you can leave!
Li An said: Then you have to promise me some other conditions, otherwise my loss will be too great for me to pay more than 2 billion yuan.
Barry Diller continued to say with a black face: Actually, I don't want to talk to you, I'm not a shareholder of the company, and I can't get much money, so don't mention any excessive conditions, if not, forget it, anyway, I'm about to retire.
Ang Lee smiled and said: Don't be so angry? Do you have to talk about everything, right? My condition is that we will pay for the promotion of my movie, but we will have 50% of the box office.
Barry Diler stretched out three fingers and said: At most, thirty percent will not be able to pull down.
Ang Lee continued: I want to sign a contract with Paramount for five films, all of which are paid by us for promotion, and you help distribute them, and we want 30% of the box office.
Barry Diller's face was about to turn black and said: 3 Don't go too far.
Li An happily stretched out his hand and said: Deal, happy cooperation.
Barry Diler shook Ang Lee's hand with a dark face and said: I shouldn't have talked to you, it ruined my good mood.
Ang Lee said: When my movie hits, your mood will be as good as it is now.
Barry Diller said: "Hopefully, tomorrow you can go to Paramount's 33rd floor to sign a contract. I hope the cooperation is happy, let's go, go out and play for a while!
The two men walked out of the room, and Barry Diller said a casual word and walked away.
Ang Lee looked at the people who were socializing and felt very bored, and was about to leave when he heard someone say: Ang Lee, why are you here, are you here to find me?
Ang Lee turned his head to look at Elizabeth Taylor, Ang Lee's former girlfriend at USC.
Ang Lee can only sigh that the world is so small.
Ang Lee said very confidently because he had no worries: Hi, Elizabeth, are you okay?
Elizabeth took Ang Lee's hand and walked to a corner and said eagerly: Ang Lee, I'm getting married, don't be so naïve, okay, I just didn't have contact with the yellow race back then and felt cool to be with you, there is no affection between us, or I'll give you money, okay. Go back to China! Don't pester me.
Ang Lee smiled and said: I came to the United States for work needs, not specifically to find you, and I wish you happiness, if you still treat me as a friend and tell me when you get married, I will come to your wedding.
Elizabeth's face was full of disbelief, Ang Lee was so infatuated with her at that time, and now he is talking so freely, it is unlikely that he will not plan to ruin my wedding, or kidnap me at my wedding!
Thinking of this, Elizabeth was even more frightened and said: Then are you done, when will you go back. My fiancé is Louis of Southern California, a member of the Meyer family, and you can't fight him.
Just as Elizabeth was speaking, an angry cry came from behind him: Elizabeth, you are still with this little white face, and you still brought him to the party to cheat, are you insulting the Meyer family?
Hearing Louis's words, Li Ang was speechless for a while, okay, these two people are really a good match, don't ask anything, after seeing the picture, they make up for their own brains, and let people be convicted, Li Ang doesn't know how he fell in love with this woman.
What a vision!
Elizabeth quickly explained: Louis, it's not what you think, we just happened to bump into each other!
Hearing Elizabeth's words, Ang Lee stopped doing it, looked at Elizabeth and said affectionately: Elizabeth, didn't you just say that you loved me?
Didn't you say your fiancé was a soft ass in bed?
finally ran into two self-righteous fools, Ang Lee has to add fuel to the fire, anyway, it's not a big deal to watch the excitement.
Hearing Ang Lee's words, Luis seemed to be about to explode, and said with a hideous face: You insulted me when you slept with him. Elizabeth, I see through you, and I want to break the engagement.
Li An had a headache, and was defeated by this Louis's brain gyrus, and wanted to say loudly: Big brother, what problem are you concerned about? Is that the point?
Louis's angry voice attracted a lot of attention, and countless successful people looked over, and when they saw the eyes around Louis was embarrassed to stay here, he turned his head and ran away.
Seeing that Louis ran away, Elizabeth said to Ang Lee: Ang Lee, I'm going to deal with it now, you wait for this period to pass and then come to me!
Ang Lee was speechless when he heard this, I made your fiancé angry and left, don't you blame me, and let me look for you for a while, what do you think! I can't guess!
Seeing Elizabeth leaving, Li An planned to say hello to Situ Yuning and leave, but when he came out, he saw Situ Yuning dancing with someone there!
Ang Lee walked over and said something to her, and saw her shake her hand at Ang Lee, meaning that she knew, and then continued to dance.
Walking out of the manor, Ang Lee hailed a taxi and sent him directly back to the hotel.
told An Mingxin the result of this time, and the two of them happily drank a few glasses, and then the water and milk fused.
I have to say that once this man breaks the vows, he almost can't help it, and Ang Lee has also figured it out, people who have died once, whoever you love, go whomever you love. As long as I have you in my heart, isn't it?
The next day, An Mingxin woke up in Li An's arms, and looked at Li An who was staring at him, An Mingxin blushed.
Waiting for An Mingxin to come to Paramount hand in hand after eating breakfast Because Ang Lee didn't have many contracts and didn't know the way in it, so he asked An Mingxin to come over and take a look, An Mingxin nodded to Ang Lee after reading it carefully, and Ang Lee happily signed his name.
immediately transferred 350 million yuan to Paramount, leaving a negative of my savage girlfriend, and An Mingxin and Ang Lee returned to China happily.
The advertisements of the three domestic film and television companies are on a par, allowing countless small companies to see what strength is. When he returned to An's Group, An Mingxin said anxiously to Ang Lee: Ang Lee is not good, my savage girlfriend's negatives have been stolen. Let's fly to the United States and let us copy a few points over there and bring them back!
Li An looked at An Ming and said gently: Don't worry, I still have negatives, the moment you tell me that Wang Jiawei came back, I was guarding against him. I thought he would come directly to me for trouble, but I didn't expect him to think about stealing negatives, and I really thought highly of it.
Li An's words really wronged Wang Jiawei, he actually didn't even want to steal the negatives, he was forced, this will Wang Jiawei just sent the stolen negatives to Li Ping, and when he returned home and looked at the old man, Wang Jiawei suddenly felt a feeling, and tears flowed down.
Wang Shidao looked at Wang Jiawei who was in tears, the great director who had filmed all his life also had a feeling of wanting to cry but he couldn't help it, looked at his son Wang Shidao and said: What's wrong with Jiawei, don't cry, tell your father something.
Hearing Wang Shidao's words, Wang Jiawei was even more sad and cried and said: Dad, I'm sorry, I was too a bastard in the past, I always made you angry, I will definitely reform in the future, learn to make movies with you, and inherit your mantle.
Hearing Wang Jiawei's words, Wang Shidao couldn't hold back any longer, although he had tears in his eyes, but he said happily: Okay, you can be sensible better than anything else! Tomorrow follow Dad to learn to make movies, Dad will definitely give you all the knowledge, come, let's have a drink today.
