"According to Mr. Liu's plan, this story will be a trilogy, and Mr. Cameron is asking about the total budget of the three parts or only the first part?" Lu Qiujian asked rhetorically.

"It's just the first part, and if the first part didn't succeed, I don't think there would be the second two!" Jobs said.

"I heard that Mr. Cameron's just-completed "Avatar" cost 500 million dollars, and I don't think our budget for this work will be lower than this number!" Of course, this 500 million funds not only include production costs, but also a large amount of publicity and distribution expenses, "I will use the 100 million dollars that you Apple paid me to buy shares, and if there is still a need, I can come up with another 100 million to 200 million dollars!" For the rest, I think we may have to find a suitable Hollywood company to work with, and we can slowly screen which one it is!"

"As for the film and television adaptation rights, as far as I know, Mr. Liu has not sold the adaptation rights of "The Three-Body Problem" now, we can talk to him directly!" These problems are solved, so only one last item remains, "As for the right to shoot without interference, it depends on how he intends to adapt the script! I need to review the script, and I will not interfere with his filming after the review is completed!"

Lu Qiujian did not directly agree to his conditions, nor did he directly refuse, he was afraid that the movie would deviate from the original intention of the novel, and Cameron would definitely not agree if it was too restrictive, so he chose this plan.

"Okay, I think I can inform Cameron to come to Chang'an!" Jobs thought for a while, and felt that Lu Qiujian's conditions were still relaxed, so he said another thing, "By the way, Natalie has already taken this contract, and the script is almost finished, I think it won't be long before filming can begin!

"At tomorrow's signing ceremony, I will tell reporters the news! But I may not have time to participate in the propaganda work later!" Lu Qiujian reciprocated the favor, and Jobs worked so cooperatively, and he did not hesitate to increase the exposure of the other party.

"That's great!" Jobs knew that the global economic and IT media were now gathered in Chang'an. They wandered around the hotel, even the garbage that was shipped out of the hotel every day, trying to dig up some useful information from it, and tomorrow's signing ceremony will undoubtedly be the biggest media hotspot in recent times. Lu Qiujian's announcement of the advertising shooting plan on this occasion is needless to say that the benefits to Apple are definitely much more effective than their piecemeal propaganda.

The next day, the hotel's largest lobby was filled with journalists and representatives of major companies from all over the world. On the huge background wall in front of the hall, the words "Xihe Project Department Tablet PC Patent Transfer Signing Ceremony" have attracted the attention of countless cameras.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the signing ceremony officially began, Qin Feng took the lead on the stage to deliver an enthusiastic speech, his heart was also extremely happy, the success of this by-product was destined to weaken their internal opposition to the Xihe plan, and his future farming would be carried out more smoothly.

The brief speech ended after five minutes, and Lu Qiujian, as the person in charge of the Xihe Project, was the first to sit on the signing table, and then the other companies that had won the auction were also ready to sign the contract in turn according to the alphabetical order of the company's name, and Jobs took advantage of the company's name and became the first representative to sign a contract with Lu Qiujian.

Several pens were replaced. After signing his name on several papers, the two stood up and clasped their hands tightly together, and since then the patent transfer contract between Xihe Project and Apple has been completed, and the reporters almost can't open their eyes when they shine their flashes.

"The Xihe Project Department and the United States Apple Company reached a cooperation agreement on the patent licensing of tablet computers in France, United States and other markets, and Apple will pay $1.24 billion in cash to obtain the patent authorization in the above markets" The signing ended, Lu Qiujian made a brief summary; This number caused an exclamation on the scene, and various rumor versions were spread in the previous stage of the auction, and now when this number is finally exposed, it is still beyond all the media's expectations, this is only the first cooperation unit! Let's take a look at the giants such as Microsoft, Amazon, Google, Samsung, Sony, Weihua, and Xingzhong in the queue. How much money did Xihe plan make this time!

"I'd like to make an announcement!" Jobs took over, "Apple has reached a personal agreement with Professor Lu Qiujian, and Professor Lu Qiujian and Hollywood actress Natalie Portman will work together to shoot a commercial for Apple!" Jobston paused, waiting for the reporters' attention to be focused on him before slowly but forcefully saying the following words. "Apple will pay Professor Lu Qiujian $100 million for advertising shooting after tax!"

"Huh~" The scene immediately sounded an exclamation, the reporters present are also well-informed, although the patent transfer fee of the tablet computer is exaggerated, but it is not beyond the scope of their understanding, and the patent transfer fee is higher than this in the IT world, but just to shoot an advertising short film to pay 100 million US dollars for the actor to pay an appearance fee. This short-circuited their brains for a while!

In the past, the most expensive advertising shooting cost was only Britney's 7.53 million, and now Lu Qiujian's appearance fee is more than ten times more than Britney's, is Apple crazy?

"Mr. Jobs, why would you charge such a huge fee?"

"Professor Lu, do you think you deserve this huge amount of money?"

"Mr. Jobs, since you are willing to pay Professor Lu $100 million in appearance fees, how much is the appearance fee for Natalie?"

For a while, the reporters at the scene didn't care that they hadn't started to ask questions freely now, so they stood up and asked eagerly, and the scene suddenly became a mess.

"The script for the ad is still in the works, but I can guarantee that this ad will be an epoch-making work!" Jobs was secretly refreshed, this is the effect I want to achieve! In this way, with the gimmick of $100 million, everyone who knows about this will be full of expectations for Apple's advertisement, right? "I think in about a month everyone will be able to see Professor Lu and Miss Natalie on TV! Please be patient!"

Gates, Bezos, Page and others who were waiting for the signing of the contract shrugged helplessly, it seems that the limelight of today's signing ceremony will be stolen by Jobs! )
