Time passed little by little, and there was still no one to bid, Charles threw a helpless look at Xu Qing, and then prepared to auction the next item.

Charles was about to announce the unsuccessful auction when a voice rang out: "$2,000." ”

Xu Qing was relieved when he heard someone bidding, the auction would not be lost, he looked up to see who was bidding, and saw that the person who made the bid was MGM's senior vice president Mackay,

Xu Qing had a good impression of McKay before, and now he is bidding for the script, Xu Qing has a better impression of him, thinking that he can cooperate more in the future.

When Charles heard that someone was bidding, he was overjoyed, and if the auction would be unsuccessful, his owner Nelson's face would not be good. While someone was bidding, Charles wanted to make a final decision and end this embarrassing auction as soon as possible.

Then another voice rang out: "$3,000." ”

The bidder was Warner Bros. senior vice president Rooney, who sat in the same row as McKay.

McKay frowned, and quickly let go again, the reason for McKay's bid was to give Xu Qing a face, in McKay's opinion, Xu Qing's face was worth more than his script.

Although Xu Qing refused to sell the film rights to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Mackay saw great potential in Xu Qing.

Thinking that the two sides might cooperate in the future, McKay thought about it for a while and finally quoted a price of $2,000.

originally thought that this price would neither make Xu Qing lose face, nor would others think that he was a fool, and he would be able to win this script that no one bid.

Unexpectedly, Warner Bros.'s senior vice president Rooney also followed the bid, what does Rooney mean, and he also wants to give Xu Qing face?

Charles didn't expect anyone to bid, so he reacted after a while, and hurriedly said, "Mr. Rooney bid $3,000, is there a higher offer?"

"$5000. McKay bids.

"$7000. Rooney followed suit.

"$10,000. McKay bids.

"$20,000. Rooney followed suit.

……

"$60,000. Rooney followed suit.

Mackay and Rooney stunned the other guests with a price, and they couldn't understand how the two could suddenly raise each other's prices.

And these two people are the senior vice presidents of MGM and Warner Bros., respectively, absolute elites, who even bid up each other's prices on an unbidden.

So far, the price of $60,000 is the highest price ever paid in the auction.

Wasn't Xu Qing's movie script cold just now, and it was about to become a joke, why did these two people raise each other's prices, there was too much money and no place to spend it?

They couldn't figure it out, and Xu Qing couldn't figure it out either.

McKay's bid didn't surprise him too much, and the initial price was only $2,000, which is equivalent to a better dinner for a person like Mackay.

But Warner Bros.'s senior vice president Rooney's bid was too surprising to Xu Qing, and Rooney couldn't have made a bid to save face.

Xu Qing felt that Rooney was more likely to want to save McKay's face and make a bid, thinking of the grudge between MGM and Warner Bros., Xu Qing felt that this possibility was very likely.

It's just that Xu Qing felt very painful again, and promised to provide the movie script to help Sunlight Film and Television Company open up the situation.

But now that Mackay and Rooney are bidding like this, no matter who ends up filming the script, is it still possible for them to agree to Xu Qing's cooperation?

Alas, I am too naïve, too taken for granted.

This is also something that can't be helped, Xu Qing was an ordinary person in his previous life, he had never participated in a charity gala, he had never communicated with high-level people, and his vision and way of doing things had the characteristics of ordinary people.

Fortunately, now Xu Qing has this opportunity and time to exercise his vision and way of doing things.

"$80,000. "McKay continues to bid, and now he's a bit of a hard time riding.

One is because he was the first to bid, and it was more or less embarrassing if he didn't shoot the script.

The second is because he doesn't want his rival Rooney to shoot the script, and if it was someone else's bid, he might give up, but Rooney's bid is definitely not good.

But now the bid has reached $80,000, which makes McKay, who has a small fortune, feel a little painful, because the company will not pay for the auction, and it is entirely out of McKay's own pocket.

Damn Rooney, this auction is not an occasion to be in the limelight, what a price!

"$100,000. Rooney made an offer of $100,000 without changing his face.

"$150,000. McKay was ruthless and quoted a price of $150,000, and he had already decided that if Rooney continued to bid, he would not follow.

"McKay, congratulations on filming Xu Qing's script, good luck. Rooney smiled at Mackay.

"Mr. Xu's script is worth more than $150,000 in my opinion. McKay replied.

Rooney smiled and didn't speak again, he offered either to give Xu Qing face, or to make McKay embarrassed.

As he had hoped, McKay's bid of $150,000 was 75 times higher than his initial bid of $2,000.

At this price, the guests present could see it clearly, no one would think that Xu Qing's script was worth $150,000, and the guests would think that McKay was a big wrongdoer.

Charles hurriedly came out of the round: "Let's congratulate Mr. McKay on buying Mr. Xu's script, the price of $150,000 is the highest auction price in the auction so far, and it is likely to be the highest auction price in the entire auction." ”

The auction continued, and there were 2 more lots, which were quickly sold, neither of which fetched more than $50,000.

Xu Qing's script has become the bid king of today's auction.

At the end of the auction, Xu Qing took the initiative to walk up to McKay.

McKay's smile was still warm, as if the $150,000 he had just made was not.

"Mr. Mackay, I'm glad you filmed my screenplay, the $150,000 price tag was unexpected, and you should be in a lot of pain right now. Xu Qing said with a smile.

"It's okay, $150,000 is just one less trip to the casino, and Mr. Xu's script is worth more than $150,000. McKay said.

"Either way, I thank you for filming this script, and I'll give you the script in a few days, and you'll know when you get your $150,000 worth it. Xu Qing said confidently.

"I'm looking forward to Mr. Xu's script. ”

McKay responded politely, but he didn't believe Xu Qing's words in his heart, the $150,000 script was already the top script price in Hollywood.

Xu Qing is a top best-selling author in the United States, but McKay doesn't think Xu Qing can still write the best screenplays.

Xu Qing saw that McKay didn't believe it, and didn't explain, so he chatted for a while, and left Beverly Hills with Ben and Carlyle.

Although only one of the two purposes of coming to participate in the charity gala today was accomplished, Xu Qing was still quite satisfied.

The script was auctioned off, taking his plans one step further.

As for the right object, I have the opportunity to look for it again.
