Chapter 511: Naked Threat
Shocked! Silence!
In an instant, after Su Yun finished speaking, the entire room, including the other people who were eating, seemed to stop, and even the sound of the spoon falling to the ground became extremely clear.
Lemur seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, but he didn't have too many psychological fluctuations because of Su Yun's words.
He picked up the chopsticks on the table very briskly, put some food into his mouth, and said lightly: "Mr. Su Yun, I heard it right, you want to bet with me?
"Huh?" Su Yun nodded and said, "That's right, I think my English level should be fine." ”
The corners of Lemur's mouth raised a slight arc and said, "Okay, if you can really surpass our Hollywood movies at the global box office of the next movie, 500 million US dollars, I will pay you in my personal name." But, Mr. Su Yun, what if you lose?"
Su Yun thought for a while and replied, "If I lose, then I will disband Su Yun's studio at that time, and then work for your global film company for free, how about it?"
"Wait!"
"Wait a minute!"
John and Ji Xueqin stopped at the same time.
John pushed his glasses and suddenly interjected, "Mr. Su Yun, I don't think your request is reasonable. If I lose, I'll pay you up to 500 million dollars, and if you lose, you only have to work for free for a year, don't you think it's too unfair?"
Su Yun said curiously: "Is there anything unfair? Didn't the condition I put forward at the beginning be 500 million US dollars a year, and then I will dissolve Su Yun's studio and join your Universal Pictures Company? In this case, I don't think there is anything unfair about this bet." ”
"But!!"
John was about to say that this kind of thing is just what you define yourself, and you can't bring in half a billion dollars worth of benefits to Universal Pictures.
However, before he could start, Lemur on the side patted him on the shoulder and interrupted him.
"Okay, I accept your challenge, Mr. Su Yun. ”
"What a pleasure, Mr. Lemur, I am impressed with you. But let me say first, we are comparing the global box office, and as far as I know, Chinese films are quite restricted in your magnesium country, so I hope that when Mr. Lemuel can help us open up the film market in magnesium country when our film is released. Of course, when Mr. Lemur's film is released, I can also help a little bit here. ”
Lemur frowned slightly, and thought quickly.
Chinese films are distributed in magnesium countries and various places abroad, in fact, they have always been subject to various restrictions, sometimes the film can't enter other countries at all, sometimes it can't pass the review at all, and even if some pass the review, the film scheduling rate will be greatly squeezed, and the low is terrible.
Therefore, if you don't open up the foreign market, just based on the domestic market, Su Yun will definitely have no hope of winning this competition.
After all, Hollywood's box office is almost tantamount to a myth for China, symbolizing an unsurpassable existence.
Therefore, Lemur did not see the need to help him with anything, because it would not bring him any real benefit.
But of course, in person, he will definitely not be so direct, which is also a quality that a businessman should have.
"It's not that I don't want to help you, Mr. Su Yun, we also have our troubles here, even if it is me, it is very difficult to influence the relevant aspects of the magnesium country. So I'm sorry about that. Lemur said with a helpless look, as if he really wanted to help Su Yun, but he looked helpless.
Su Yun smiled and said, "Since Mr. Lemur said so, then I also express my regret. However, I heard that recently we will also travel in China with some new laws and policies, and it may also affect the introduction of Hollywood in our mainland China, if there is a situation where the film cannot enter the mainland, it means that Hollywood has lost the Chinese market, which should be a pity. ”
Threats, naked threats!
Needless to say, even John knows very well how much the Chinese market has on Hollywood!
It can be said that if the Chinese market is lost, the box office will be reduced by at least 10%, after all, Hollywood is quite popular in China, which is also a loss that they absolutely cannot accept.
However, Su Yun alone can influence Hollywood to enter China? Does he really have the ability to keep Hollywood locked out like this?
Lemur glanced at John beside him, but saw John nodding at him, which couldn't help but surprise him a little.
John's meaning is obvious, after his investigation, Su Yun should really be able to do it, not alarmist.
In just a moment, Lemur's attitude changed dramatically.
"Hehe, I suddenly remembered that our Universal Pictures still has a certain right to speak in the magnesium country, and if your film is to be released to the magnesium country at that time, Mr. Su Yun, we will definitely provide assistance in all aspects. So when the time comes, Hollywood's introduction to the mainland will have to ask you a lot, heheha. ”
Su Yun also looked indifferent, and said with a smile: "Of course, since Mr. Lemur is so generous, then naturally I can't be stingy." ”
The muscles on Lemur's face twitched violently twice, he stood up from his position, took off the hat on his head with his left hand, stretched out his right hand to Su Yun and said:
"Now that the words have been said and almost finished, we will not stay any longer, I am in the magnesium country, and I look forward to your joining in the near future. ”
Su Yun shook his hand and said with a smile on his face: "Thank you, I also look forward to Mr. Lemur's fifty hundred million dollars in the near future." ”
The two looked at each other and smiled, and Lemur turned to leave the restaurant, followed by John.
"Boss, why did you agree to his gambling contract? This is simply unreasonable! Even if that kid comes to Universal Pictures to work unconditionally for a year, it will be a drop in the bucket at all, and it will definitely not be worth 500 million US dollars!"
"Hehe, so you think we're going to lose?"
"How can it be, even if it's one in ten thousand, no, even if it's one in a billion. ”
"If that's the case, what does it matter?"
"But..."
"And, in that place, we simply don't have the room to refuse. There are people on the other side all around, and there must be reporters all around us who are following us all the way, and if I just refused, how do you think the reporters would write this report?
"Uh... ”
"Hmph, I want to see what kind of movies he can make that can make him confidently surpass our Hollywood box office. "I am a genius star, the latest chapter of "I am a genius star, claw bookhouse" is free to read for the first time.
