Chapter 285 of the main text, how can there be such a talk about business

Next chapter

When Jason reopened his eyes, it was snow-white all around, and he was already in a mental hospital. The doctor determined that Jason was mentally ill, and that Maple Blade City and the eccentric man were all hallucinations of him.

Two years later, Zhang Ziyi protected an important parliamentarian, but she didn't expect the parliamentarian to be held hostage. When they slammed the door open, the councillor was lying in a pool of blood, and the killer had vanished before their eyes. Zhang Ziyi remembered Jason's words two years ago, so she found Jason's house and wanted to find clues. But Jason has become crazy and doesn't know anything.

At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the courtyard, and more than 20 people rushed in. Dr. Jiang Zhexin, several senior officials at Interpol headquarters, and the other soldiers with loaded guns, came for Jason.

Zhang Ziyi tried to resist, but her resistance appeared a little weak, and she was eventually taken to a mental hospital with Jason.

At this point in the story, I jump directly to the two major battles between Jason and Alexander. The insurance company has been keeping an eye on the filming process of the movie, asking Zhang Ran to shoot the scenes that cost money first, and the dangerous scenes first, and the literary scenes are all put behind, so the movie clips that are being played now are not coherent.

Both fight scenes are done in front of the green screen, and although the green screen has been cut off and composited, it has not been rendered or detailed, and the whole picture looks rather rough. For example, Alexander lifted a large truck and smashed it at Jason, smashing Jason directly into the wall. The movements of the characters and the car are there, but the debris and dust generated by the car hitting the house are not there, and the lighting effect is not processed, which looks relatively fake.

However, in addition to buying movie copyrights, many of the filmmakers in the theater also invest in making their own movies, such as South Korea's CJ Entertainment has invested in movies such as "Shiwei Island" and "The King's Man", and they all understand movies, so although the special effects in the second half of "Time and Space Warrior" are quite rough, it will not affect their judgment of the quality of the movie. On the contrary, they have already seen this rough picture, and when the final effect comes out, the impact will be several times greater!

At this time. Neil's smile was brighter than the sun, and Zhang Ran's re-edited version was quicker and more visually striking than the last time he showed Harvey. Now the film viewing party is not over yet, but from the expression of the film company, he is sure that these people will go crazy to grab the copyright of the movie. Now when they think of Harvey, their faces are on their faces. He couldn't help but want to laugh.

The members of the crew were almost dumbfounded, and even the actors such as Brody and Zhang Ziyi were dumbfounded, the wonderful Cheng dù of the movie far exceeded their expectations, it was so exciting!

After the movie was played, the crew members stood up. Applaud hard, this applause is for Zhang Ran, and it is also for themselves. Being able to participate in such a film is definitely something to be proud of for them.

The studios were reluctant to applaud, and the applause showed that they were interested in the film, which was not good for the negotiations. It's just that everyone is applauding, and they have to applaud a few symbolically, but they are thinking about how to bargain when the time comes. And Zhang Ran arranged a few trusts directly surrounded him, shouting to buy the right to issue.

Jiang Ziqiang from Xiangjiang walked over and held Zhang Ran's hand. He said excitedly: "It's really well made, you're the real blockbuster! This is an epoch-making film, it's so wonderful! With young people like you, there is great hope for Chinese films!"

There is a saying in the world of Chinese-language films, where there are people, there are Chinese-language movies, and where there are Chinese-language movies, there is Jiang Ziqiang. "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", "Hero" and "Huo Yuanjia", which ranked first, third and sixth on the box office list of foreign language films in North America, are all from him.

Zhang Ran has great respect for this predecessor who led Chinese films to sail to the sea and to the world: "Mr. Jiang is polite, I am still too far behind what you have done." If it weren't for the success of Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, I wouldn't have had the courage to make this movie!"

"Harvey is a liar. He will definitely regret it this time!" Jiang Ziqiang was very dissatisfied with Harvey, "Hero" had been sold to Harvey for almost a year, and it had not been released until now, he looked at Zhang Ran and said. "Time and Space Warrior" is a good movie that no one wants to miss, I have distribution channels in Southeast Asia, I hope you can hand over the distribution rights in Southeast Asia to me, and we will do our best to promote the movie!"

Zhang Ran smiled and said, "Of course you can, Mr. Jiang, I have believed it! In this way, let's make an appointment to talk tomorrow!"

Jiang Ziqiang has a great influence in the East Asian film and television industry. Other filmmakers were afraid that Jiang Ziqiang would snatch the copyright, so they all came over and wanted to talk to Zhang Ran about the copyright.

Zhang Ran saw that everyone reacted so enthusiastically, and his heart was settled: "After watching the sample, I believe that everyone should have a full understanding of the quality of the movie, and everyone will definitely need time to evaluate the movie before they can make a quotation, and we will talk about it tomorrow!" Then he turned his head to look at Park Zhenghuan and said, "Mr. Park, I want to talk to you!"

Coming out of the cinema, Zhang Ran took Park Zhenghuan to find a café and sit down. Li Xinyue sat next to Zhang Ran, played his secretary, and teamed up with him to fool around.

Park Zhenghuan raised his gaze and looked at Zhang Ran, wanting to see something from his expression.

Zhang Ran's expression was very indifferent: "Mr. Park, there are many film companies here today, and there are several international buyers, and they like to win the global distribution rights when they buy films. A few days ago, you sued me that Bo Wei's actions were wrong, so I was on guard against Bo Wei and Miramax, otherwise things would be in trouble. We Chinese pay attention to reciprocating the favor, and since you helped me, then I can't be sorry for my friends. So let's talk first, otherwise you won't have a chance when I negotiate with international buyers!"

Park Zhenghuan did see a few foreigners shouting to buy the copyright just now, he didn't know that it was the childcare that Zhang Ran was looking for, and said politely: "Mr. Zhang, there are fewer and fewer people like you, and it is our honor to cooperate with you!"

"You've seen the clips of the movie, and I don't need to say much about the quality. Luc Besson asked someone from his company to do research and produce a film sales evaluation report. Speaking of which, Zhang Ran picked up the evaluation report and flipped the Korean column to Park Zhenghuan, "The box office potential of our film in South Korea is estimated to be 15 million to 25 million US dollars. You've done me a favor, I'm sure I can't let you suffer, I'll give you the lowest price of $7 million, and besides, I have a request, you have to pay half of the deposit in advance!"

Zhang Ran is facing a funding gap, and except for a few people including Reeves and Neil, no one else knows. Zhang Ran will not make a noise, because the film company will definitely take the opportunity to lower the price if he knows about it, and Harvey and they will not make a noise, and other big distribution companies will come to pick peaches when they know about it.

At this moment, Park Zhenghuan heard Zhang Ran ask for half of the advance. I thought he was worried about tearing up the contract again. The box office of blockbusters of the same type in South Korea is about $20 million, and with the addition of DVDs and movie rights, the price of 7 million is very reasonable. But no matter how good it is, it doesn't go through soft grinding and hard foaming. How can you nod your head without haggling.

Park Zhenghuan shook his head and said: "The quality of the movie is good, but it is difficult to say how much the box office can get, our Korean newspapers have greatly reprinted Harvey's words in the past two days, and now the impression of "Time and Space Warrior" in the eyes of Korean audiences is very bad." It's bad for the box office!"

Zhang Ran didn't say much, and said lightly: "Mr. Park, you consider my conditions." Xinyue, call the people of the Japanese gaga company and ask them to come over!"

"Okay!" Li Xinyue picked up her mobile phone and dialed in a fake way.

Park Zhenghuan was directly stunned, how can there be such a business discussion? I just want to make a price, so you won't talk about it? It's too exaggerated! He roared in his heart, but kept a smile on his face: "Mr. Zhang, don't do this." You can talk about anything!"

Zhang Ran glanced at Li Xinyue, motioned for her to stop dialing, and then said lightly: "Mr. Park, I don't like nonsense, and I don't have time to talk nonsense." I still have to film, it's impossible to leave the crew alone! The conditions have been opened, if you can accept it, it's decided, if you can't accept it, you will change people, I don't like grinding and chirping!"

Park Zhenghuan stared at Zhang Ran for more than ten seconds, then got up and said, "Mr. Zhang." This amount is a bit big, it's not for me to call the shots, I need to discuss it with the people in the company, you give me a little time!"

Zhang Ran smiled faintly: "Yes." But time is limited, and I can't wait any longer. If the price offered by other companies is right, I will definitely say yes!"

"We'll do our best!" Park Jung-hwan nodded, turned around and opened the café.

Waiting for Park Zhenghuan to leave, Li Xinyue looked at Zhang Ran and shook her head and said, "I've never seen you talk about business like this, it's too direct!"

Zhang Ran shrugged his shoulders: "We have limited time. I can't afford to drag it out, so I can only cut through the mess quickly!"

Li Xinyue looked at Zhang Ran and asked, "Did you say they would agree to your conditions?"

Zhang Ran smiled: "Do you think they will refuse?"

Before watching the movie, Li Xinyue was still a little worried, but after watching the film, Li Xinyue was full of confidence. She smiled and shook her head: "Absolutely not, the conditions for you to open are not high at all, and the quality of the movie is good, no filmmaker will refuse." ”

Zhang Ran nodded slightly and said: "Park Zhenghuan is trying to capture the past, in the process of talking just now, he has been observing me, and now he also wants to find out our bottom." If I didn't have the confidence, he would take the opportunity to lower the price, but unfortunately I didn't give him a chance, so it must be him who is in a hurry. Believe it or not, I'll be calling soon!"

Li Xinyue asked, "Why don't you talk to someone else first, such as Jiang Ziqiang?"

Zhang Ran explained with a smile: "Jiang Ziqiang has been in this circle for more than ten years, and he is not a fuel-efficient lamp! Hang him first, and then talk, so that he can seize the initiative in his hands." Park Jung-hwan is an impatient, and their company has made millions of dollars through "Burst Drummer", so they are more interested in our new film than anyone else, and it is the easiest to win!"

The two sat in the café, drinking coffee and chatting slowly. After waiting for almost an hour, Zhang Ran's mobile phone rang, he picked it up and looked at it, and then smiled at Li Xinyue. Li Xinyue's eyes lit up, she really came. However, Zhang Ran did not answer, but hung up directly.

Li Xinyue was stunned for a moment, and then understood: "You also want to get away with it." I heard that Zhang Jizhong wants to find you Murong Fu, and that's right!"

Zhang Ran has a black line, your thinking is too jumpy, right?

It didn't take long for Park Zhenghuan's call to call again, but Zhang Ran still didn't answer. After more than ten minutes, Park Zhenghuan made a fourth call, and Zhang Ran answered the phone.

Without waiting for Zhang Ran to speak, Park Zhenghuan said directly Mr. Zhang, I discussed it with the people in the company just now, and I will do what you said, 7 million, half of it will be paid in advance! I don't know where you are now, I want to confirm with you in person, and if possible, I will sign the contract as much as possible!"

Zhang Ran said quietly: "It's the café just now, you can come over as much as you want! I made an appointment with someone else in the evening, and the time is a little tight!"

Li Xinyue laughed, Park Zhenghuan won it! Now that "Time and Space Warrior" is facing a funding gap of 7 million, if the Koreans are done, half of the entire loophole can be filled.

Park Zhenghuan's voice was a little anxious: "Mr. Zhang, I'm on the way, come over immediately, please wait!" )
