Yang Tang frowned and looked at the two gringos for a second, then lowered his eyelids and took a sip of coffee, but he didn't see anyone coming. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

But the two gringos finally walked to the table. Both of them have deep eyes and high noses, with blonde hair and short brown hair. After standing still, the brown hair said in broken Chinese: "Is it Mr. Tang Yang?"

I don't know if the brown hair is deliberate, or what, he said Chinese, but the name is called in the Western style, in view of this, Yang Tang gave him a stupid look, the whole person squinted at the two indifferently, and took another sip of coffee.

"Is it Mr. Tang Yang, please?" Brunette asked again.

Okay, since you want to continue to be stubborn, Yang Tang pretended to be more ruthless than him, and directly greeted the nearby waitress and said, "Waiter, these two people are blocking my light, please ask them to stand aside!"

When the waitress heard the order, she hurriedly came over to catch up with the people: "Two gentlemen, please sit next to you!" she said, gesticulating.

The brunette was a little anxious, and immediately raised his hand to push away the waitress who was half in front of him, but the blonde held him down in time and said to Yang Tang in English: "Mister Yang, I'm Evans Barry, the deputy general manager of Pyra Pictures, and this is my assistant Bin Robert, we took the liberty to meet you on this trip, mainly to talk to you about "The Da Vinci Code". ”

When Yang Tang heard this, he said coldly in an authentic New York accent: "The Da Vinci Code?

The blonde Barry was surprised to hear Yang Tang speak English, and he was quite fluent, but he tasted Yang Tang's words for a long time, and shook his hand again and again: "Mister Yang, I didn't mean that, I didn't mean that there was a problem with "The Da Vinci Code", but our company wanted to adapt your work into a script and put it on the big screen!"

As soon as these words came out, the waitress on the side was startled. I have to admit that her English is only half-baked, and Barry is too fast in front of her, so she only hears the title "Mr. Yang" clearly, and the rest of the content understands a few common words, and even Barry said the English name of the book "The Da Vinci Code", she didn't understand it, but this waitress is a star chaser, but she is familiar with words like "script" and "big screen", plus she half-guesses and half-blind, this is what she understands part of Barry's meaning.

Adapting the screenplay and making it into a movie?

The waitress looked at Yang Tang's eyes and immediately changed, and said in her heart, what kind of person is this, there are actually foreigners who come to the door to buy the copyright of his book?

By the way, which book did they just say?

Thinking of this, the waitress drove Barry and the others to the side, but her little ears secretly pricked up, planning to listen to the title of the book again, even if the translation was incorrect, she could write it down and go back to the senior sister to flip it up.

Yang Tang didn't notice the waitress's careful thoughts, and said bluntly: "Misterbari, regarding the adaptation rights of my book, I guess my assistant Miss He Jiani has already given you a clear answer, right?"

"Yes, Mies He has clearly replied to us, but the company still wants to ask you to try it for yourself to see if you can loosen up on your side. ”

Yang Tang shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands and said, "I'm not short of money, so ...... It's not loose!" After speaking, he deliberately glanced at the time and revealed his watch.

Barry is obviously a person who knows the goods, when he entered the café before, he saw that although Yang Tang's clothes were not the most expensive custom handmade class, but they were also thousands of dollars (here referring to the US dollar, 1 Chinese dollar = 1 US knife = 1 euro) brand goods, so he actually planned to spend money in his heart, never thought that Yang Tang was still wearing a million-euro watch, obviously not the general copyright purchase price can be moved, and even Robert, who originally had some contempt for Yang Tang, saw Vacheron Constantin in his hand, his eyes instantly dimmed.

However, a veteran negotiator is a veteran, although Yang Tang inadvertently revealed a lot of financial resources, Barry still quickly corrected his mentality, and continued to lobby: "Mister Yang, although you are not bad for money, but who minds making more money? So I think we still have a chance to sit down and talk." ”

Hearing this, Yang Tang raised his eyebrows: "Yes, you have a little sense, then you can come and sit down!" After a pause, he said: "As for your assistant, just drink coffee while drinking!"

Robert naturally understood the English spoken by Yang Tang, and he immediately glared at Yang Tang viciously, as if he wanted to have a seizure. Barry turned his head to him, and Robert sat down at the next table and sulked.

Seeing this, Yang Tang waved off the waitress. Barry hurriedly pulled out the chair and sat down, straightened his clothes, and was about to speak, when three foreigners, a man and a woman, came in at the door of the café.

The foreign woman was a middle-aged woman, and it was not an exaggeration to call her aunt, but even so, her wrinkled face was still heavily smeared, and I don't know if the fragrance on her body was too strong or something, and the fragrance soon filled the entire space of the café, attracting the other tables of guests who had nothing to do with themselves.

As a result, these café regulars who usually call themselves petty bourgeoisie can't pull out their eyes when they see it, after all, the foreign woman who came in is a little ugly, the key is that her aura is too strong, these petty bourgeoisie have watched a lot of TV movies, and they have also met a lot of real foreigners, but there is no one like her, who is arrogant.

"Hello!" The middle-aged foreign girl greeted Yang Tang very familiarly as soon as she came up, and then wanted to pull out a chair and sit down.

It's a pity that Yang Tang is Yang Tang, and he actually flew up in front of the middle-aged foreign girl and kicked the only remaining chair next to his platform.

"W-smack!"

The chair slammed into the table next to him, startling Robert.

The middle-aged foreign woman froze on the spot, the seizure was not, and the seizure was not.

At this time, I only heard Yang Tang say lightly to the middle-aged foreign girl: "Madam has no privilege here with me...... Who are you?"

The middle-aged adopted daughter was choked and almost violently, but she tried her best to endure it, and a stiff flattering smile flashed: "Mister Yang, Tang Yang, right? I'm Lily Jones, the deputy director of the public relations department of Michael Media Group, and I took the liberty to meet you this time because I wanted to exchange ...... with you about The Da Vinci Code."

"Stop, stop...... I think I know what you're here for, so please wait next to you for a while!" Yang Tang pointed at Barry when he said this.

Jones, a middle-aged foreign girl, naturally understood what Yang Tang meant, but she was very unhappy and almost walked away. But Yang Tang was not used to her problems, seeing that she and the other two foreign devils who came up were just standing next to Robert's table, it was really close enough, and waved his hand at the moment: "Miss Jones, right? Please take your assistant and wait outside the café for a while, OK?"

Jones and her two companions changed color in unison, and at the same time realized that Yang Tang and Barry would talk about something substantive next, so although they felt humiliated, the three of them retreated to the café and waited, and did not leave.

Turning his head and facing Barry, who was slightly anxious in his eyes, Yang Tang said directly: "Mith Barry, you have also seen it, you are not the only film and television company that wants the adaptation rights of "The Da Vinci Code", so let's do it, I'm very busy, just offer your best conditions, whether it is to my liking or not, we can't buy and sell benevolence, how about it?"

The corners of Barry's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he really felt that Yang Tang's proposal was not very good, the key was that Jones of Michael Media was eyeing him, and he had almost no good choice, so he thought about it, gritted his back molars and quoted a jump price: "Six million US dollars, the film adaptation rights of Leonardo da Vinci belong to our company, and you can retain the right of authorship!"

When Yang Tang heard this, he was noncommittal, just knocked on the table with his knuckles, and said half-loudly: "Is it just the film adaptation right of this book? TV adaptation, anime adaptation, these are not included, and the peripherals are not included?"

Barry was stunned and responded: "The adaptation rights of TV, anime, etc. still belong to you, but the sales of movie peripheral products, such as movie costumes and movie discs, must belong to our company...... As for what you mean by the adaptation right of 'only this one book'?"

"Quite simply, I'm already thinking of a sequel to Leonardo da Vinci. Yang Tang smiled and said, "The cake around the movie is bigger than the movie itself, can your company swallow it alone?"

When Barry heard this, he broke out in a cold sweat, and was planning in his mind how to dispel Yang Tang's lack of greed, but Robert, who had been listening, couldn't sit still: "Mister Young, you just wrote the book "The Da Vinci Code", and our company is willing to pay six million to buy the adaptation rights of your book, which is already very good, you have been given an inch!"

Yang Tang laughed and said: "Radish head, I don't have to make an inch, but an inch of land." Of course, you can also think that I am asking for a price!"

Robert was momentarily speechless.

Seeing this, Barry made an apologetic gesture and said, "I need to make a call..."After a while, after the phone call, he pointed out two fingers at Yang Tang with a solemn face: "Second, the sales profit of peripheral products will give you two percent!"

The corners of Yang Tang's mouth twitched, and he said, "Three percent, this is my bottom line!"

Barry then shook his head: "Impossible. With that, he straightened up and called Robert towards the gate.

Yang Tang looked at the backs of Barry and the others, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, but he didn't ask them to come back and talk about it until the two went out.

After waiting for a while, Jones and her two assistants stood again at Yang Tang's coffee table.

"Can I sit down now?" Jones scoffed, apparently still angry.

Yang Tang didn't mind her tone at all, and gestured with his hand: "Sit!"

Hearing this, Jones stared at Yang Tang for a second, and then sat down in Barry's seat just now: "Mister Young, you didn't directly agree to the conditions of the Pyra Alliance just now, maybe it was your mistake!"

"Hehe, then let me hear about your Michael's conditions!"
