Chapter 563 North American Copyright, Interim Secretary
PS: Ask for a recommendation ticket, ask for a monthly pass!
The white and chubby Harvey Weinstein sat on the leather couch with his coffee in his hand, his eyes scurrying at the ass of the Miss Sharp next to him.
Plump hips and thin waist, bobba figure.
The juice is painted with delicate makeup, bright teeth, and colorful. Wearing a lotus-colored one-shoulder tight-fitting hip skirt, half-exposed fragrant shoulders, round and fair, the lace embellished on the shoulders just makes the surging on the chest stand out, and the milky white bottomless trench makes people intoxicated and difficult to extricate themselves...... Pull it out!
The tight-fitting hip skirt outlines her S-shaped curve, cinching the waist and showing the hips, which is concave and convex. Although the legs are not as long as Li Meiren and Wang Zuyuan, the legs are very beautiful, the legs are even more white and shiny, the knees are smooth and white, and he is stepping on a pair of black stiletto heels, which is very charming and enchanting.
"Mr. Weinstein, I'm glad you came to Hong Kong Island with me in mind. β
Li Ju smiled slightly, maintaining a reserved and also showing the intellectuality of a high-achieving student, "I will help you communicate with Mr. Wu about the film copyright, but whether the deal can be reached or not still needs to be carefully negotiated between you." Of course, I will also do my best to help you in my private capacity.
I think, Mr. Weinstein, you'd better have a better set of conditions. Mr. Wu is not a layman, on the contrary, he is very familiar with the international film market. Not far away, several foreign film distribution companies are even affiliated with him. β
"Oh! of course!"
Harvey smiled kindly, "I didn't expect Miss Nina to know Mr. Wu so well, it seems that I am really lucky, huh?"
"I have a good personal relationship with Mr. Wu. β
Li Ju didn't explain too much, can it be said that she has been peeping at the boyfriend of her plastic sister group BB for a long time?
Wang BB is good at everything, but a little bit bad, and inadvertently shows off his boyfriend~
Wu Xiaozu is such a high-quality resource, who is not greedy?
She doesn't care about this dead fat ghost, what she cares about is that the other party creates an opportunity for her to contact Wu Xiaozu in the bright light.
As long as the opportunity is met, she believes in her charm.
She also has a reason for self-confidence, she is not bad in appearance, figure, and education, and she is not a simple vase.
Compared with Wang BB, who is out of school in the country, she is really a scholar.
What will Wang BB do?
The plastic sisters are the most naked and despised!
She believes that with her observation and understanding of Wu Xiaozu, the other party will definitely not be satisfied with the current pattern and business, and at the same time, she also has the strength to go to Hollywood, and she can do a good job in the role of a virtuous helper.
Priing her boyfriend for this kind of thing, she blames herself at all.
She went to study, didn't she choose Sister Ya to have a better choice in life? Is it wrong?
Harvey greedily withdrew his gaze at the sharp buttocks and white legs.
During this time, he ran back and forth between Hong Kong Island, Tokyo, and Los Angeles, and the market response for Hong Kong films is now very good, especially Hong Kong Island action movies, even as a Hollywood producer, I have to admit that the fight between this group of East Asians is very exciting.
The movie genre can be regarded as a hundred flowers, although there are more shoddy productions, but they are also quite marketable.
With the advent of Bruce Lee's "Kong Fu" film that year, there was a small group of loyal kung fu fans in the North American market, albeit niche, but not unprofitable.
The progress is not bad, but it is not as big as expected.
The answer he got from companies was that many of the old film sources were either licensed to Hollywood companies, such as Columbia and MGM. But more often than not, it was acquired by a local listed company called E7 Culture, and this company is still buying a large number of copyrights......
The independent studios and filmmakers talk about the company with a lot of flexibility.
He also checked this E7 culture, only to find that the other party is now the largest film source and distribution company on Hong Kong Island, with a market value of hundreds of millions of dollars, and the appearance of throwing money is not bad at all, so he has to retreat.
Although he has raised a lot of money from Dongying, Hong Kong films are destined to be only niche films in North America, and if he really spends a lot of money, it is obviously not in line with his original intention.
In comparison, Wu Xiaozu's gold mine undoubtedly makes him more tempted, whether it is a direct buyout or a full copyright such as acceptance and adaptation...... Although he is only now starting to make efforts in the North American independent film circle, his superb commercial vision still makes him very optimistic about the value of these films.
Last time, I also knew that this Miss Nina had a great relationship with Wu Xiaozu, and I believe that with her in the middle, the success rate will be much greater.
Come to think of this......
Eyes glanced at the hot body juice, maybe there is a chance to communicate~
Sharp juice's figure is very much in line with his aesthetics.
Of course, he is not yet at the point of being dizzy and understands the priorities. At this time, Harvey did not have the kind of tricks to forcibly have a relationship with female stars, at most he was just an independent producer in North America who had just shown a little talent, and there were many producers like him in North America......
At this time, a female clerk came over and said to the two: "Mr. Weinstein, Miss Liju, Wu Xiaozu is invited!"
"Yes, beautiful young lady. Harvey put down his coffee and tightened the buttons of his suit.
Li Ju also nodded with a smile intellectually, always maintaining his temperament.
Along the way, Harvey kept observing 1024 Locomotive Entertainment, and the more he watched, the more surprised he became, the strength of the other party greatly exceeded his expectations. I even saw a lot of film companies with the same Western face come here to discuss cooperation, and during the conversation, I could hear that 1024 Locomotive Entertainment Company is still doing the work of introducing Western films and distributing Hong Kong films to Europe.
Apparently~
The other party is not a layman who knows nothing about foreign distribution.
β¦
"John Wu, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
Harvey, the big fat man, walked two steps quickly with great enthusiasm, held Wu Xiaozu's hand, and said with a smile: "This time, I flew from Los Angeles with full sincerity, I hope we have a good result!"
"Of course, I also welcome you to Hong Kong Island. Wu Xiaozu also smirked perfunctorily, turned his gaze to the sexy stunner Liju next to him, and reached out and shook it.
"Nina, you are also welcome to visit our company. β
Wu Xiaozu held Li Juice's hand, and suddenly his palm was scratched by the other party, and he looked down at the waves, and saw Li Juice staring at him with a smile like a flower, and his spring eyes were swaying.
"Wu Sheng, this Harvey has the intention to introduce your movie, but I read the contract, and the conditions are very average. When I was studying in the United States, although I studied finance and management, I was familiar with film rights in North America.
If you do choose to cooperate, you might as well consider being able to sell out the rights, because Hollywood distribution companies have complex internal procedures. If it is really as he said, if he chooses to share the distribution, he may not even be able to recover the cost of investment. Li Ju approached Wu Xiaozu and blinked softly with a smile.
After speaking, he showed a charming smile to Harvey next to him, and switched to English: "Mr. Weinstein thinks the same way." β
Harvey smiled and nodded, thinking that the other party was helping him lobby Wu Xiaozu.
Wu Xiaozu looked at the juice in front of him who was playing with Harvey, a fox who was cultivating, in the palm of his hand, and couldn't help but show an interested gaze.
"Looks like you're working for him, right?"
Wu Xiaozu walked to the wine cabinet with a smile and asked Harvey, "Whiskey or brandy?"
"The brandy is good. Harvey laughed.
"No, I'm not helping him work, at most I'm just helping him introduce you to Wu Sheng. On the contrary, I think our relationship is much closer than his.
Isn't it?
Moreover, I also believe that Wu Sheng, you must have a perfect idea in your heart. My suggestion may just be a class axe. However, what I want to say is that my words are not to remind Wu Sheng what you have to do, because I believe that a successful person like Wu Sheng must have his own persistence.
I'm just telling you that I'm not actually a vase......
Maybe I can help you more, maybe, what do you think?"
Li Ju took over Wu Xiaozu's work very easily, poured good wine with a smile, and handed it to the other party, with a fragrant breeze and generous manners.
Wu Xiaozu took a sip of wine and shrugged with a smile.
No wonder Jet Lee is desperate, this woman is really powerful, so that men can be attracted to her unconsciously, but there are indeed too many thoughts, and Liu Wine Bottle belongs to the type of scheming deeply.
Often this kind of woman is very capable, but also very assertive.
The only drawback is the poor background, otherwise he may not lose to He Chaoqiong. Their end may just be the starting point of He Chaoqiong's life.
Of course, Director Wu doesn't mind the intimate exchange between everyone and each other.
With such a high degree of education and a lot of understanding, the posture must be very rich!
It just so happens that Wu Xiaozu has always maintained the true character of learning, although he has become a big wet, but he has not forgotten his original intention, so he can get wet.
"John, I think Miss Nina has told you a lot about me. Last time, I regretted that it didn't happen, but this time I came from Los Angeles with 100% sincerity. I'm sure you can feel my sincerity......" Harvey took a sip of wine, took out the documents from his briefcase very spilled, and pushed them to Wu Xiaozu.
"I believe there is nothing that shows my sincerity better than in black and white. β
"Of course. Wu Xiaozu smiled.
I picked up the document and flipped through it, smiling all the time.
After watching it for about ten minutes, I skimmed it roughly. I have to say that at this time, Harvey did not have the routine of pit filmmakers at later film festivals, or it may be because of his unequal identity.
After all, Wu Xiaozu is already the winner of the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival, and Harvey is just one of the members of the American independent film industry, so this contract is quite sincere.
is roughly the sharing of the two sides and the operation and investment after he gets the source of the film.
"I promise, there's no more sincere North American studio than me. Harvey's fat body leaned back, a smile on his lips.
"I can feel Harvey's sincerityβ" Wu Xiaozu squinted his eyes and groaned, "But~" shook his head slightly, "It's not enough!"
Harvey was surprised to see Wu Xiaozu push over a contract, and when he picked it up, his face changed slightly.
This is a North American copyright contract, these are not important, what is important is that the other party put forward some conditions, obviously more sincere than him.
"Harvey, although I haven't been exposed to much of the North American market. But that doesn't mean I don't know anything about that market. Hong Kong Island's Shaw Brothers and Golden Harvest have close cooperation with several major film companies in North America, and my partner also has his own distribution channel in North America...... Do you understand?"
Wu Xiaozu took the initiative to hand over a cigar.
"I know that your Miramax Film Company picks the right films from the festival, then cuts them and pushes them to the North American market. It's really a good business......"
Wu Xiaozu's words made Harvey vigilant, "What do you want to say?"
"NONO, DON'T BE NERVOUS, MY FRIEND. I can license my film to you for distribution in North America. "Wu Xiaozu is harmless to humans and animals.
"What about the conditions?" asked Harvey.
"The profits are divided according to Hollywood's internal shares, and the finances are supervised by a third party. In terms of distribution, you must not be lower than the number of theaters on the agreement, and at the same time, the investment in publicity and distribution funds must also be doubled. β
"It can't be!"
Harvey flatly refused, "You're a robbery! No North American company will agree to your terms, man, don't try to challenge the rules of Hollywood!"
You know, unruly...... It's hard to survive.
Just as I came to you! I'm following your rules. β
Wu Xiaozu pondered for a moment and agreed with the other party's opinion, in fact, he didn't think that it would be achieved in a while, just give it a try.
"You're right, man. I do have to follow the rules. But ......"
After a pause, he looked at Harvey.
"Film copyright grants are limited to the film itself, not to the peripherals and adaptations. Of course, you have priority. β
"It's not wonderful. β
Harvey shrugged, to be honest, although he was optimistic about these movies, he could not 100% guarantee that these movies would be popular in North America. The reason why I am sitting here and talking to Wu Xiaozu is that I am optimistic about the possibility of adapting these movies!
Movies with Asian faces and movies with European and American faces are clearly divided in the North American market.
Although Hong Kong films have been quite popular in the North American market in recent years, they are definitely a niche among the niches, and he can't pay too much for a little benefit!
"In that case, if I am not profitable, I think it will be difficult for us to reach a cooperation. β
Obviously, both of them are the lords who do not see the rabbit and do not scatter the eagle.
Copyright in North America is obviously not a project that can be negotiated in a moment. It is impossible for Wu Xiaozu to give the price of the cabbage to the other party on the premise that he knows the possibility of subsequent development of these projects.
Of course, the other party's consideration is also very reasonable.
Judging from here, Wu Xiaozu admires Harvey, a dead fat boy, and his vision is really good!
"I guess why don't we all have a cup of coffee and then let's talk?" interrupted Sharp Juice in a very mattery voice.
"That's a good idea!" said Harvey, smiling brightly.
Wu Xiaozu also smiled, looked at Li Juice, and casually praised: "It's really a pity that you act, with your education and ability, it's more than enough to come to my company to do things!"
He really felt that the juicy was a good fit for management.
"Do you really think so?"
Li Ju suddenly stared at Wu Xiaozu and smiled, "Then what if I apply for a position in your company?" I saw that your company's official version says that you lack an assistant, I think I can give it a try, I don't know if you ......are welcome Wu Sheng."
ββ¦β¦β
Wu Xiaozu was surprised, "Are you serious?"
Li Ju shrugged his shoulders and smiled frankly, "Of course, being able to join 1024 Locomotive Entertainment Company and be able to work as an assistant to Wu Sheng when you come up, I think it's tempting for anyone, right? Of course, if Wu Sheng allows me to act, I think I will be even more satisfied!"
"Your potential is too condescending to be just an assistant!"
Wu scumbag's face is not red, his heart is not beating, and he directly learns from Blizzard and eats books.
"However, if you don't mind during this time, you can act as my temporary secretary, as I don't have a liaison with Harvey! I'll let someone from the company take care of these things with you. β
Not only did Li Ju not refuse, but took the initiative to ask, "Is this a test?"
"Sort of!" Wu Xiaozu bowed.
"Don't worry, I'm sure I'll be a very good secretary!"
