"Who does that Chinese think he is!?"

In the office of the general manager of Columbia, as the manager of this company, Glenn Hardy, the general manager, complained angrily to a department manager under him. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Does he think he is Bruce Lee, or Jack Cheng? Even if it is Bruce Lee, the American audience just likes his kung fu, but this Chinese, Song Zheng! This name is really awkward, does he think he can conquer the American entertainment industry!?"

After Glenn Hardy received a cooperation agreement forwarded by Huayi Brothers, it was like seeing the funniest joke of this century, not only found it ridiculous, but also felt ridiculous.

In his eyes, Song Zheng simply wanted to be famous, and he was crazy, unreasonable!

Gary Alaire was the main person in charge of the "Hurricane Rescue" during the promotion of "Hurricane Rescue" in the United States, and he was also the one who received Song Zheng and his party when they arrived.

"Mr. Hardy, of course this is ridiculous, I also think that the Chinese Song is daydreaming, but we feel that we have no reason to refuse, we don't need to pay anything, just provide a channel, we can get benefits, in this case, why remind the Chinese who loves fantasy!?"

Glenn Hardy laughed when he heard this, and said, "Yes! Gary, you are right, that Chinese just likes to daydream, but we really have no reason to refuse, I called that bastard of Thomas, this Song Zheng seems to be a very popular singer in China, and he also once had an English song on the pop music billboard, since he naively thought that he could succeed, a generous person like me naturally didn't mind providing him with some help, did he?" At least those Chinese should like his songs. ”

Gary Alaire immediately sent a steaming sycophant: "Mr. Hardy, a very wise decision, I think China Song will be grateful to you!"

Glenn Hardy shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who cares about this, all I care about is how much benefit he can bring to the company, Gary! Inform Thomas, he is still in charge of this matter, and then notify the people in the record production department to help, but, in terms of conditions, I don't want that idiot Thomas to be the same as before, understand? Gary, my friend, he is your man, if his work has not always satisfied me, it will affect your evaluation in my heart!"

Mr. Thomas Dog failed to win the rights to "Hurricane Rescue", which made Glenn Hardy very angry, and if it weren't for the fact that he was really optimistic about the theme of "Hurricane Rescue", he would even have to stop this collaboration.

When Gary Alaire heard this, he also scolded Mr. Dog for his incompetence: "Of course, Mr. Hardy, I will tell him!"

"I believe you, Gary, and of course, don't put too much pressure on our poor Mr. Doug, after all, he still got the adaptation rights for "Hurricane Rescue" for us!"

Although Thomas didn't succeed, but fortunately, Columbia finally got the adaptation rights of "Hurricane Rescue", and Glenn Hardy waited for the Chinese version of "Hurricane Rescue" to be released, and then started filming the American version of "Hurricane Rescue".

"And the casting of "Hurricane Rescue", you have to keep an eye on it, Jason Statham still hasn't replied?"

"Yes! Jason Statham is still hesitating!"

Glenn Hardy couldn't help frowning when he heard this, in his opinion, the best actor in the American version of "Hurricane Rescue", the super agent daddy, is the well-known Hollywood tough guy Jason Statham.

"Continue to contact him, appropriate can increase our offer, I want to make a more wonderful "Hurricane Rescue" than the original, but also let those Chinese who like to daydream take a good look, what is called a Hollywood blockbuster!"

Gary Allaire said, "Yes, Mr. Hardy, I'll do it!"

The camera turned back to China, Gao Xiaosong has been nervous since the intention of cooperation was sent, but fortunately, the efficiency of the Americans is still very fast.

The next day, Thomas, who had received the latest instructions, came to the door.

Gao Xiaosong has always been responsible for this matter, the specific conditions and the benefits that he deserves, Song Zheng has already explained it before, and Gao Xiaosong has not informed Song Zheng.

"How's it going, Thomas, is it good news for us!?"

Glenn Hardy and Gary Allaire complained at home for a long time, but in fact, they really wronged Song Zheng, and Song Zheng didn't care much about releasing records in the United States from the beginning, and always had an indifferent attitude.

The person who really wants to daydream is actually a tall and fat person!

Compared with Gao Fatzi, Song Zheng lacks the unique perseverance of Chinese musicians, Gao Fatzi has enough in the domestic music circle, and what he wants to do is to kill the United States, who made it the center of world pop music.

I didn't have a chance before, but now I finally see a little light, and if the tall fat man can let go, then it's weird!

So this time, the conditions proposed, in the eyes of outsiders, are simply a loss of money, Song Zheng's album is completely at the studio's own expense, just borrowing Columbia's distribution channels in the United States, as for the share, it is the next thing to talk about.

Before Thomas came, he had just been reprimanded by Alaire on the phone, and he also knew about the copyright of "Hurricane Rescue" last time, but he couldn't do it well, and the head office now has a big opinion of him, so he wants to atone for his crimes.

Originally, this kind of agency distribution, the agency company can take 10% of the agency fee, after all, the record is not a movie, and it needs to invest a lot of money in the early stage to promote, Columbia only needs to provide channels, and the rest are taken care of by the studio, and 10% is already very generous.

To put it bluntly, what Colombia has to do is to give Song Zheng a letter of introduction, and after helping with some procedures, he can take 10% of the total sales of the album for nothing!

However, Thomas is not satisfied with this, in his opinion, a Chinese, especially a Chinese who is not famous in the United States, suddenly wants to release an album in the United States, this thing is crazy, completely Don Quixote adventure, there is no possibility of success at all.

Of course, Song Zheng once had a song on the American pop music billboard, but so what?

Song Zheng is still a blank slate in the United States, especially for the American pop music industry, who will have nothing to do to pay attention to him!?

Perhaps, Song Zheng is full of joy and anticipation for the release of this album, but he can't even sell 100 copies in the United States, so what's the point of the 10% that Columbia gets?

Thomas thought and smiled, "Yes, Gao! We are friends, and I have always been willing to help my friends when they are busy!"

It's also thanks to Gao Xiaosong that he has been in the United States for a while, otherwise, he would have to wonder if he has lost his memory!

Where's this tm!

Gao Xiaosong had met Mr. Dog twice before this, this is a friend, well! Americans are really enthusiastic!

"So, what about your company's reply!?"

With a sincere smile on his face, Thomas said, "Our company's general manager, Mr. Glenn Hardy, told me that he is very willing to help a young man with a dream, and Song is a very talented filmmaker I have ever met, and now I am very much looking forward to seeing him achieve the same achievements in music as he does in film!"

Gao Xiaosong was patient, listening to Thomas say these, and felt that his intestines hurt: "For your company's help, I would like to express my gratitude on behalf of Mr. Song, so should we talk about the specific operation next!?

Thomas laughed: "Gao! You should know that if Song releases a record in the United States, there is a lot of work to be done, and it is also ~~~~~~~ to provide a complete sales channel."

Gao Xiaosong feels that his head is big, this foreigner is too TM can talk nonsense, he has been in the United States for so long, what do you know!

"Thomas, please get to the point!"

"Okay!" Seeing that Gao Xiaosong didn't appreciate his eloquence, Thomas shrugged his shoulders to express helplessness, and continued, "Since it's a cooperation, we have to find the part that we are both interested in, you want to release records for Song in the United States, and our company hopes to get the copyright of "Hurricane Rescue"!"

Gao Xiaosong heard this, and almost couldn't help jumping up and giving him a big duck pear, referred to as a big duck pear, a butt sitting dead!

Although Gao Xiaosong is now mainly responsible for the work of 1+1 company in music, he is not unaware of how much Song Zheng values the movie "Hurricane Rescue".

With the copyright of "Hurricane Rescue", go in exchange for Columbia's agreement to help Song Zheng release records in the United States!

If Gao Xiaosong dared to agree to this condition, he didn't have to guess to know that Song Zheng would definitely kill him.

"It's a pity, Thomas! This can't be!" Gao Xiaosong didn't even think about it, so he directly refused.

Thomas was stunned for a moment, and said, "Why? Isn't this kind of equivalent exchange something that both of us should be willing to see!?"

Gao Xiaosong sneered in his heart, and his surface was still as plain as water: "The problem is that this kind of exchange is not equivalent in my opinion! Thomas! Chinese are not stupid, I advise you, when dealing with Chinese, you should put away your little cleverness, so that it is good for both of us!"

Gao Xiaosong said, his tone became stern, Thomas was stunned by what he said, this kind of toughness, he had already learned it in Song Zheng's body before.

"Alright!" Thomas, knowing that his purpose had not succeeded, immediately relented, "then, what about your terms!? I want to hear what you can give us?"

Gao Xiaosong took a deep breath, suppressed the urge to beat up this Mr. Dog in his heart, and said: "Ten percent of the album's sales, this price is very fair!"

Thomas sneered inwardly, in his opinion, the Chinese are too idealistic, and overconfident, or self-righteous.

Ten percent, if a singer who is somewhat famous in Europe offers this condition, he will naturally be happy to accept it, but Song Zheng's words are ~~~~~~

I admit it's a fair price, but I don't think the 10 percent makes any sense for our company! Because no one knows how many of Song's records will sell in the United States. ”

Gao Xiaosong listened to it and felt that his blood pressure was rising, and Thomas clearly meant that Song Zheng's English album was doomed to fail in the United States, and there was no doubt about it.

Nima! I don't look down on people so much!

When Lao Tzu really does this, let you kneel in front of the lord's eyes and sing conquest.

"What about your opinion!?"

Thomas smiled and said, "We need something more practical, like a portion of the agency fee!"

In Thomas's view, 10 percent is too illusory, and since it is a work that is doomed to failure, what can it be if it is 50 percent?

Is there a difference between 10 percent and 50 percent, or even 100 percent?

no！

So since he can't get any return if he shares, Thomas is more willing to fight for a part of the agency fee for the company, which can be regarded as atonement.

Gao Xiaosong's fists were clenched, this kind of taste of being looked down upon was really too embarrassing.

"Okay!How much do you want!?"

Thomas smiled and said, "I think a million dollars is a very reasonable price!"

Why didn't Nima grab it!

Gao Xiaosong was about to refuse immediately, but in the end he held back and said, "Mr. Thomas, I need to discuss it with Mr. Song, you know, one million dollars is not a small amount!"

Thomas laughed, "Of course, do you need me to avoid it?"

The veins on Gao Xiaosong's forehead were about to burst, and he tried to squeeze out a smile, and pointed to the door: "Please!"

Waiting for Mr. Dog to go out, Gao Xiaosong grabbed the phone and dialed Song Zheng's number, Song Zheng was playing with Song Ning at home at this time, and when he received a call from Gao Xiaosong, he quickly made a silent gesture to Song Ning, which made the girl boss unhappy.

"Hey, what's the matter!?"

Gao Xiaosong said: "The Thomas dog in Colombia is here, and the album we proposed is divided into 10%, and people are not satisfied!"

Song Zheng listened and said, "Then improve a little more, what's the matter, let's beg others!"

Gao Xiaosong smiled bitterly: "No matter how high we give, people don't agree!"

When Song Zheng heard this, he wondered, and said, "Why!? They have a grudge against money!?"

Gao Xiaosong said helplessly: "People and money have no enmity, the key is that the Columbia company doesn't expect our records to sell in the United States at all, understand?"

Song Zheng was stunned for a moment, and when he came back to his senses, he couldn't help but be angry, what didn't he understand!

was underestimated by the big old beauty!

Holding back this breath, Song Zheng said, "Then what conditions did they offer!?"

Gao Xiaosong said: "Agency fee, one million US dollars!"

When Song Zheng heard this, he almost jumped up and said, "Let the girl get out, Lao Tzu won't play, okay!? ”

One million dollars, if converted into RMB, is more than eight million, and the current dollar is still very strong.

Right now, Song Zheng is short of money, what he doesn't like the most is the feeling of owing money, and he can't wait to plug the big hole dug by Lin Xinru earlier, how can he cheapen the Americans for nothing.

But as soon as Song Zheng finished speaking, he felt that if he really didn't go to the United States to play, wouldn't he admit it, and after thinking about it, he also understood what Thomas meant, and co-authored that grandson was deliberately calling for a fight!

Before Mr. Dog asked him to buy the adaptation rights of "Hurricane Rescue", Song Zheng asked for $1 million, and finally sold for $800,000, and now people are here to retaliate.

Thinking of this, Song Zheng couldn't help laughing, and felt that Mr. Dog was quite interesting: "Okay, Lao Gao, tell our dear Mr. Dog, just say the agency fee, our company will pay a maximum of 800,000 US dollars, not a penny more, if he agrees, sign the contract immediately, otherwise, let Ya get out!"

Gao Xiaosong was a little confused when he heard it, Song Zheng was so angry that he wanted to go to the room just now, why did he suddenly agree!?

I don't understand, but since Song Zheng said so, he tried to bargain, and brought Mr. Dog in, originally thinking about the difference of 200,000 US dollars and wanting to reach a consensus, no matter what, he had to fight with each other, who knows, as soon as he said it, Thomas immediately nodded and agreed.

After signing the contract, Thomas said Goodbye, Gao Xiaosong was still confused, thinking that this old beauty was too easy to speak!

Gao Xiaosong was a little happy in his heart in order to reach an agreement, Thomas left the 1+1 studio, no, now it is going to be renamed 1+1 company, and when he walked out of the door, he couldn't help jumping up excitedly.

In his opinion, the last conversation with Song Zheng made him completely passive, and the final agreement also made him blamed on the head office, and now he has finally recovered his life.

800,000 US dollars, before Song Zheng's hands were hot, he returned to the Columbia company, and brought the adaptation rights of "Hurricane Rescue", although it is a pity that he failed to get the final copyright, but to be able to do this, Thomas feels that he is already very awesome.

To get the adaptation rights of "Hurricane Rescue", Columbia only has to pay to provide Song Zheng with the distribution channel of the album, without spending a penny, this deal is really cost-effective.

Thinking about it, Thomas couldn't wait to take out his mobile phone and dial the number of his top boss Gary Allaire, probably too excited, he forgot that there is such a thing as jet lag in the world.

Mr. Alaire was sleeping with his daughter-in-law in his arms, and was suddenly woken up by the ringing of the telephone, according to past experience, the only person who had to call at this time was General Manager Glenn Hardy, who quickly pushed his daughter-in-law aside and grabbed the phone.

"Hey!"

"It's me, Mr. Alaire, Thomas Doug!"

dog！？

Alaire's groggy brain was a little short-circuited, and it took a long time to react, and he said angrily: "Damn it, Thomas, you bastard, do you know what time it is here in the United States!?"

Thomas was stunned for a moment, then realized that he had done something stupid, and quickly explained, "I'm sorry! Mr. Alaire, I seem to be a little too excited!"

Alaire also sobered up at this moment, rubbed his forehead, and said, "Okay! Thomas bastard, tell me, what makes you bastard so excited! Did you get the rights to Hurricane Rescue!?"

When Thomas heard Alaire talk about this again, his heart suddenly felt a little unnatural, and he hurriedly said: "No! It's another thing, Mr. Alaire, I just talked to a person in charge of Song's company about his release of an album in the United States!"

"Thomas, you'd better not do something stupid!"

Thomas said proudly, "Mr. Alaire, what do you think of the $800,000 agency fee?"

Alaire was furious when he heard this, I'm the department manager of Columbia, and I was quarreled with by you bastard in the middle of the night, just for a mere $800,000, you and I are your one who has never seen the world, for $800,000, and I am excited!

"This is your achievement, Thomas, you bastard, you woke me up for a measly $800,000 and dared to show merit in front of me, did your head go bad!?"

Thomas also knew that Alaire was woken up, so he inevitably got up a little angry, and hurriedly explained: "Mr. Alaire, do you remember the price we paid for getting the adaptation rights of "Hurricane Rescue" before? It is also 800,000 US dollars, that is, we don't have to spend a penny, we only need to do them a small favor, let that Chinese Song who likes fantasy release his album in the United States, and we can get the adaptation rights of "Hurricane Rescue"!"

Alaire was stunned when he heard it, although it was all the same thing, but it was really refreshing to hear Thomas say this.

"Okay! I'll report back to Mr. Hardy!"

After Allaire finished speaking, he hung up the phone!

Thomas listened to the busy sound, and there was inevitably some part of his heart, in his opinion, he had worked hard to calculate Song Zheng, and even if he didn't get a promotion and a salary increase, he should at least praise two sentences!

Who knows~~~~~~~~

In the United States, in Glenn Hardy's office, Alaire reported to Hardy on the results of Thomas's negotiations, and of course, he also did exactly what Thomas explained, at least that sounded good.

Sure enough, after Glenn Hardy heard it, he also felt very satisfied: "Thomas did a good job, tell him that dealing with the Chinese should be like this, give them what they want, and then get what we want, the important thing is that we must get more than the value we pay, this is the business!

Alaire was stunned when he heard this, and before he could speak, Hardy laughed first: "Just kidding, how is this possible, no matter how much China Song likes fantasy, his dream will not come true, I can't wait to see him disappointed now!"

Thinking of Song Zheng, Glenn Hardy felt a little unhappy in his heart, he failed to get the copyright of "Hurricane Rescue", which gave Columbia one less opportunity to make money.

And the one who caused all this is the self-righteous Chinese Song!

"Gary!When our Chinese partner came to the United States to promote, you were in charge of reception, and when the time comes, remember to surprise that Chinese Song, for example, when promoting and selecting programs, maybe we can come to something different and attract more attention, what do you think!?"

As Mr. Hardy's loyal dogleg, Alaire instantly understood what Mr. Hardy wanted, and hurriedly said: "I think the Voice of Los Angeles is a good show, what do you think!? Mr. Hardy!"

Hardy smiled when he heard this, and said: "It's really good, I bet that if China Song is on this show, it will definitely create a very big topic, no, it's the most exciting topic, God bless him, I remember the host named Wood, the most hated is colored people!"

Alaire laughed and said, "That's right, especially Asians!"

Song Zheng didn't know that his trip to the United States had not yet begun, he had already been calculated, after a period of preparation, finally a week before Christmas, Song Zheng and his party embarked on a trip to the United States, he was still the first time to come to the United States, and he had thought about coming to this Western mouth, the so-called center of the free world, but he didn't expect that the first time he came here, it was actually to promote the movie.

Compared with the Chinese, the Americans are just unreliable, if the Chinese do this, Song Zheng and his party have just arrived, how to pick up the wind and wash the dust, find a good place to rub hard, but the Americans do not understand this.

As soon as he arrived at the hotel, the bearded man named Gary Alaire gave Song Zheng a schedule, which was densely packed with all the things he had to do in the past week, even though Song Zheng is now self-learning English and has achieved remarkable results, after reading it, he still feels dizzy.

"Yankee, this is going to exhaust me to death!"

Song Zheng said, throwing the schedule aside, and the representative sent by Huayi Brothers couldn't help frowning after picking it up and looking at it.

When Song Zheng saw it, he thought he had met a bosom friend, but before he could wait for him, he heard the man say: "Lao Mei is not dedicated to doing things! Most of the places where propaganda is arranged are places where Chinese people gather, and there is no sincerity!"

Song Zheng was dumbfounded when he heard this, listening to the meaning of this, he dared to think that this itinerary was too little!?

Gao Xiaosong on the side took it, only glanced at it, his face changed, and said, "Zhengzi! Lao Mei is not well-intentioned!"

Song Zheng wondered when he heard it, could it be that Gao Xiaosong was also afraid that he was too idle, you know, Gao Xiaosong came this time to operate the album, if the schedule to promote the movie is full, what should I do with the record?

"What's wrong!?"

Gao Xiaosong pointed to the itinerary and said: "This show, do you see it, when I was in the United States before, I knew about this show, a talk show that introduces pop music, and the host is a racist, what do you think?"

When Song Zheng heard this, he also figured out the problem, if it was really like Gao Xiaosong said, Da Laomei really didn't hold back a good fart!
