"Mr. Ando, do you know Aihara, the president of Sony Pictures Entertainment?"

"I'm good friends with Mr. Ono, and Mr. Xu wants to see him?"

"I would like to talk to Mr. Ando, Mr. Ono about the film rights of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. ”

There was silence on the other side of the phone, and after a while, Keita Ando said, "Mr. Xu, when do you want to talk?"

"Tomorrow at half past nine in the morning, at the Hongqingyuan Hotel, I will greet you at the door of the hotel. ”

"Okay, we'll be on time. ”

Xu Qing hung up the phone, Hongqingyuan Hotel is the hotel where Xu Qing lives now.

The reason why Keita Ando and Ai Ono were originally Hongqingyuan Hotel was that Xu Qingxian took the initiative in this negotiation.

The initiative in the last negotiation with Keita Ando was completely controlled by Keita Ando, which made Xu Qing feel very uncomfortable.

Only with the initiative can we get the maximum benefit.

……

At half past nine in the morning, Xu Qing met Keita Ando and Aihara Ono at the door of the Hongqingyuan Hotel. Both had a small retinue, each with a bodyguard and a secretary.

The three of them exchanged hypocritical greetings, and no one mentioned the reason why Xu Qing asked Keita Ando to invite Ono Aihara.

In fact, the two of them knew very well that Xu Qing already knew that it was Ono Aihara who really wanted to buy the film copyright of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

Ono Aihara didn't have the slightest embarrassed expression, but talked to Xu Qing as if he was familiar, as if Xu Qing was his friend.

Hongqingyuan Hotel has a special conference room, and a group of people come to the conference room.

"Mr. Xu, what are you thinking about?" asked Keita Ando first.

"I'm still the same answer, I'm not going to sell the rights to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone. Xu Qing said.

Keita Ando and Aihara Ono looked at each other, and Keita Ando was puzzled: "Then why did Mr. Xu invite Mr. Ono to the Hongqingyuan Hotel?"

"Although the film rights to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone cannot be sold, Mr. Ono and I can still work together. ”

Xu Qing said and turned his gaze to Ono Aihara: "Mr. Ono, I want to ask you a question, Colombia wants the film rights of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone".

Is it because the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone movie was a big hit and helped Colombia turn around its losses?"

Ono Aihara's expression was a little embarrassed: "Yes, Mr. Xu, Colombia thinks that the movie "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" can help Colombia turn around its losses. ”

Sony acquired Colombia for a sky-high price of $6 billion in 19**, when Sony was in high spirits and wanted to open Hollywood with strong capital.

As a result, the Japanese economic crisis was encountered, and Sony suffered a large loss and did not have much money to support Colombia.

And the box office of the movies made in recent years has been very bleak, and Colombia has lost more than $1 billion.

There is a lot of pressure on Ono Aihara, and if Colombia is not profitable, he will be fired.

Ono Aihara believes that the Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone movie can help Colombia turn its losses around.

This is the reason why Ono Aihara was rejected by Xu Qing several times, and then bought the film rights of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" through the Aeon Group.

"Mr. Ono, I made it clear to you that there will not be a Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone movie in the next few years, as for what the reason, you should know. ”

Ono Aihara was anxious, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Xu, the current film technology can make "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" into a classic movie. ”

Xu Qing was helpless, so he had to say in a tougher tone: "Mr. Ono, there is no need to talk about Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

I invite you today to talk to you about film collaboration, and I have a couple of film scripts that I would like to work with Columbia. ”

"Mr. Xu, do you have any movie scripts that you would like to work with Colombia?" Ono Aihara's tone was disappointed.

Xu Qing used a movie script to cooperate with a film company, and Ono Aihara also heard about it.

At the previous Graham charity gala, he heard from the company's vice president that Xu Qing used the movie script as an auction item to cooperate with the film company that took the movie script to make a movie.

Ono Aihara is not optimistic about Xu Qing's movie script, the novel and the movie script are two different things.

"Mr. Ono, I have three film scripts that I want to work with Columbia, and I can guarantee that all three of them will be a big hit. Xu Qing was full of confidence.

"Can you guarantee it?!Can I read these 3 movie scripts now?" Ono Aihara didn't believe it.

"These 3 movie scripts were in my home and didn't bring them. Xu Qing said.

"In your house?!" Ono Aihara was confused.

"Yes, because I came to Japan to talk to Mr. Ando about electronic pets, and I didn't expect Mr. Ono to buy the film rights to Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone.

After talking to Mr. Ando about the electronic pet, I will return to the United States, and I will show Mr. Ono the 3 scripts at that time. Xu Qing said.

But what does Mr. Xu use to guarantee that a movie will be a big hit before it is released. Ono Aihara questioned.

"If Mr. Ono is not at ease, I will bear all the production costs of these three films. ”

The reason why Xu Qing wants to cooperate with Columbia to make a movie is also so that Sunlight Film and Television can gain a firm foothold in Hollywood.

"Dumb and Dumb" with MGM is not enough for Sunlight Films to gain a foothold in Hollywood, plus 3 films with Columbia are enough.

Xu Qing is confident that Colombia will cooperate, because these 3 movies are classic movies from Xu Qing's previous life.

"I'm going to think about it, I can't give you an answer right now. Ono Aihara hesitated.

Is Xu Qing a fool? Obviously not, so why is Xu Qing so confident, those 3 movie scripts are really good?

"How much does it cost to make the three films?" Ono Aihara asked Xu Qing again.

"It's not a lot, tens of millions of dollars per movie, and about $100 million for three films. ”

"Okay, you go back to the United States, show me the 3 movie scripts, and I'll give you an answer. ”

The total production cost of the three movies is about 100 million US dollars, which is really not a lot, and if it loses, it is not too heavy, Ono Aihara still decided to take a look at the 3 movie scripts first.

After talking about the movie with Ono Aihara, Xu Qing and Keita Ando talked about electronic pets.

This time, Keita Ando did not insist on a 35% share, and the two sides quickly negotiated a 27% share.

Seeing off Ono Aihara and Keita Ando, Xu Qing's purpose of coming to Japan has been accomplished.

Xu Qing gave herself 2 days to visit Tokyo and experience the customs and characteristics of Japan.

In his previous life and now, Xu Qing has never been to Japan, and he is very curious about a world-famous feature of Japan and wants to experience it.
