Chapter 349: The Best Outcome, The Worst Outcome

Yang Yang was still a little incredulous when he walked into the beautiful big office, but he didn't expect that just a phone call, and in less than five minutes, Thomson's attitude changed drastically.

Who is the old man on the phone, what is the relationship with Lin Shuang, and what is Lin Shuang's background?

These mysteries filled Yang Yang's chest one after another, but now was not the time to think about these, and he should take advantage of the rare opportunity to win it.

"Mr. Yang, we meet again. ”

Thomson, the CEO of Regal Cinemas, was a tall, muscular white man dressed in a sophisticated suit with the shrewdness of a businessman on his face.

"Maria, trouble two cups of coffee.."

"Oh no.." Yang Yang hurriedly refused with a smile, "Thank you, mine won't be used." I've had enough coffee outside. ”

Thomson looked apologetic, "Sorry, Yang, you know I'm too busy."

"It doesn't matter. Yang Yang didn't mind at all, some things were tacitly understood by the two and kept silent.

Yang Yang knows very well that in the eyes of businessmen, there are no eternal friends, only eternal interests.

"About that video of yours, I thought about it.." Thomson was about to cut to the chase, but Yang Yang suddenly interrupted him: "Mr. Thomson, do you have time, can we watch the movie first and then talk?"

Thomson raised his hand and looked at his watch, hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Yes." ”

Regal's corporate headquarters itself is equipped with a movie screening room, and Yang Yang and Thomson sit down in a small, ornately furnished screening room to enjoy his "Lover."

"Lover" has a total duration of one hour and forty-five minutes, and at nearly half past six, the two finished watching the film.

"How's that? What do you think of this movie? Yang Yang spoke in a very casual tone, he did ask Thomson, but it did not mean that he had to keep his voice down, when Thomson agreed to talk to him, the status of the two was equal.

Thomson sniffed, rubbed his fingers, took out a cigar box from his arms, pulled out one and handed it to Yang Yang.

"No, thank you. ”

Thomson lit it for himself, took a deep breath, and after puffing out the smoke in his mouth, he said, "The film is very good, Yang, you are a very talented director." ”

Yang Yang smiled and waited for Thomson to finish the rest of the words.

"But..."Sure enough, there was still a but.

"This movie is not suitable for Christmas... I have so many pieces on hand that are better suited than it.." Thomson looked at Yang Yang, "Can you understand what I said?"

"I understand. Of course, Yang Yang understands that "Lover" is biased towards literature and art, and its market is much smaller than that of commercial films, not to mention that at Christmas, when everyone grabs a piece of cake, "However, I believe that since Mr. Thomson, since you can accompany me to watch this movie, you will naturally not let me down." ”

"Yes. Thomson nodded, "I can give you a schedule, but... Maybe the time period will not be good. ”

Yang Yang frowned: "What time period?"

"Midnight Field. ”

"Are you sure you're not joking?" Yang Yang couldn't help but laugh angrily, "Then I might as well find a few people to pull up a curtain and put it on the street." ”

"Don't be angry, Yang. Thomson reassured as much as he could: "This is also something that can't be helped, you should know how many blockbusters there are recently." Hollywood is producing double the number of films it produces every year, and building a theater is not an easy task."

"Christian, Jackman... These well-known superstars have long caught the audience's attention, and without stars and topics, it is difficult for small films to survive. More than a hundred film companies declare bankruptcy every year, and you're lucky, Yang, at least we'll be able to squeeze out a midnight show for you."

"It's not as bad as you think, young people nowadays are getting high late, maybe when they come back from the bar, they'll be interested in going to the cinema to see you."

Thomson glanced at the piece on the table, "Well, Lover." ”

"What a wonderful name, no matter the plot, Olivia's beauty and your wonderful acting skills will conquer a large audience, and maybe you will become a dark horse in Hollywood. ”

Thomson is extremely perfunctory, full of, and vividly interprets the face of a businessman.

Yang Yang was silent for a long time, and finally scolded with a smile: "CNM." ”

Well, he's talking in Chinese.

But Thomson can probably guess the meaning of Yang Yang's words, and most people will choose their native language when expressing some of their emotions.

Thomson shrugged his shoulders indifferently.

He received a call from a big person, but only a few words, and didn't say anything explicitly.

Thomson chooses to play stupid, of course, not too stupid, which will cause the big people to be unhappy. Now is the most perfect way to deal with it, he did arrange a schedule for "Lover", which is understandable, as for Yang Yangman who is not satisfied with his arrangement, this is not within the scope of his consideration.

Businessmen, everything still has to be on par with money.

Yang Yang took a deep breath and finally agreed: "Okay, yes, midnight show, it's perfect." But I'd like to see it longer..."

Yang Yang stretched out an index finger and said seriously: "It will take at least a month." ”

"Whatever you want. Thomson laughed, "Yang, the whole Christmas is yours for as long as you want." ”

"Okay, and it's a pleasure to work with you. Yang Yang stood up simply.

There is no point in continuing the topic here, everything can be done, and Thomson will not be able to make concessions.

"Me too. Thomson reached out to shake Yang Yang's hand, with a sly smile on his face.

Yang Yang nodded, turned around and went out.

He grabbed the "Lover" in his hand, his face was gloomy, although it was not the best result, but at least he did not return empty-handed.

He is not hopeless, if the box office performance in other markets such as the UK is good, he may be able to drive the North American side, although this is very unlikely.

In short, this battle was unfavorable, but Yang Yang was still willing to fight to the end.

He wants to know how deep the water is in the Hollywood of this world.

Yang Yang took out his mobile phone and dialed the number just now, which was still the same as before.

"How's that, lad. The man's tone was very casual, but there was still a hint of concern in it, "Did you get what you wanted?"

"Thank you. Yang Yang said solemnly, "Thank you very much for your help, I got the opportunity I wanted." ”

The man smiled, "That's good... I hope we have a chance to meet and talk. ”

"Yes. ”

From beginning to end, the two did not mention the name Lin Shuang, and the relationship was very peculiar, as if a special friendship had been established between the two alone. Oh, and it's not friendship, at most it's human affection.

When Yang Yang walked out of Regal's door, he found that the beautiful assistant lady was still waiting at the door.

"Hi, what's the result?" Seeing Yang Yang, the assistant lady's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly asked, "Has Mr. Thomson agreed to your request?"

Yang Yang smiled and nodded: "Agreed." But not a request, it's a cooperation. ”

"Well, you're right.." The assistant lady chuckled, her beautiful eyes slid over Yang Yang's face, and she said with a little reserve: "I'm going to dinner... You.. Do you want to be together?"

Yang Yang was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, and said with a smile: "It's no better, I was about to invite you... After all, thank you for your good luck. ”
