(Ask for a commuter pass!)

After dinner, Wanda Tauju went back to ask for help, but Niki Penny was impatient to ask everyone to meet again at the hotel that night. After the pen and fun pavilion www.biquge.info unveil the false smile of the day, all that remains is the monetary benefit of the red fruit.

"Chen~"

Nikki Penny opened her notebook and held a pen in her right hand, "My trip to China won't be too long, so it's better for us to hurry up and solve the problem of cooperation." ”

"Warner Pictures and I are very interested in your 'Finding the Treasure of Barbosa' documentary film and are interested in bringing it to the theatrical market in North America and around the world. ”

When she said this, it was obvious that she had made a decision after contacting the United States.

But these words made Xia Meng, Cai Yinong and others inevitably flash a trace of joy in their hearts, whether it is the result of hard work or luck, at least this is not a bubble.

Only Chen Ergou was silent, and said with a smile: "Thank you! This is my honor, and I also hope that this cooperation can be achieved." ”

Chen Ergou's attitude did not quite meet her expectations. She didn't think much of it, and said, "I attach great importance to this collaboration with Reservoir Dogs Studios, but we will have to discuss the specific method." ”

"How?" Chen Ergou could roughly guess the meaning of the other party's words, but he still asked with a puzzled face, "Isn't Warner the publisher of "Finding the Treasure of Barbossa"?"

Although he knew that it was unrealistic, he still had some fantasies in his heart, Warner just became the distributor of the film, and then signed a distribution contract with Reservoir Dogs Studios, so that in the future, whether it was the box office or other copyright income, Reservoir Dogs Studios would be able to get a piece of the pie. Even, Chen Ergou suppressed in the deepest part of his heart, and there were more ideas.

"Warner, of course, will release 'In Search of Barbossa's Treasures.'" Nikki Penny smiled, taking everyone's expressions into her eyes and taking the initiative, "provided that we own all the rights to this film." ”

Chen Ergou frowned slightly, "You want to buy out the film?"

"Yes, that's the most basic premise for us to be able to work together. Nikki Penny smiled. However, reality soon taught her a lesson, telling her that this is China, and she is facing a Chinese tyrant.

Chen Ergou was still smiling, but he blurted out words that were not so happy, "How much buyout fee can you give?" 5 million or 10 million, I won $5.2 million in one night in the casino." If Warner has that attitude, Nikki, you can just go back to your Hollywood, or you can have a good trip to China, and all the expenses will be mine. I don't expect North American distribution, and it's actually good to distribute in China. ”

Nikki's smile suddenly came, a small movie independently produced by a small studio was bought out and distributed, which is normal in Hollywood, I didn't expect Chen Ergou to react so much. She thought that she might have overlooked the most important thing, which was a young rich man with a net worth of hundreds of millions.

Seeing Chen Ergou getting up to leave, she was a little flustered, and forced herself to calm down and said: "Chen, you don't know much about the situation in Hollywood, not to mention that this movie is a Chinese movie, we also have to consider reality." It is not easy for a foreign-language film to be operational and distributed in North America. If there is any request that can be made, as long as it is reasonable and beneficial to both of us, we can consider it. ”

These words can be described as high-sounding, as if she is very considerate of Chen Ergou.

However, Chen Ergou didn't play cards according to the routine at all, although he didn't continue to get up, but he spoke more directly, and said: "If it's because of the identity of a Chinese film that makes you feel embarrassed, then it's easy for me to register a company in the United States." Nikki, I'm a friend of you, so you might as well come and hear my opinion. First of all, this is my personal documentary film, and I can't play without it. ”

"I asked Warners to release 'Finding the Barbosa Treasure,' like any other mainstream Hollywood commercial film. I'm going to take a box office share, note that, it's a box office share, not a profit share. Warner takes a cut of box office and rights revenues as distribution costs. ”

"This~!"

Nikki was stunned, "How can this be, the buyout is a request from Warner's distribution department." Without copyright, I can't account for it at all. ”

"It's okay to sell the copyright to you," Chen Ergou said calmly: "But the cost of buying out the copyright should be based on the box office data." In any case, I have to participate in the box office share, which cannot be less than 25%. ”

Nikki frowned and didn't speak for a while. Chen Ergou's strength exceeded her expectations.

Even Xia Meng and Cai Yinong were terrified.

Before coming, Xia Meng and Cai Yinong had an exchange, and they had a rough bottom line in their hearts. Originally, it was agreed that Cai Yinong would take the lead in the negotiation, but he forgot to tell Chen Ergou, but he didn't expect Chen Ergou to do it directly.

The two of them were drumming in their hearts, not knowing how to speak. I'm afraid that if you are not careful, this transaction will be yellow.

But Nikki's reaction was even more unexpected, "Chen, the plan you said would not be accepted by any Hollywood distribution company." I would like to remind you that "In Search of Barbossa's Treasure" is a Chinese-made documentary, not a mainstream commercial production with an investment of tens of millions of dollars. You're not a big star in the U.S. either. ”

Chen Ergou smiled and said: "But my affairs are very hot, aren't they, even the famous Warner has personally come over." ”

"Nikki, don't think I'm whimsical. Even if I am paid tens of millions of dollars for buyout, what can I do, I can only make one documentary in my life, and I don't want it to rot in the treasury of the capitalists. My mind is also clear, and I know very well how many people in North America are paying attention to my treasures. In the last live broadcast alone, tens of millions of viewers in the United States watched it, and the number of views on my video on Youtube exceeded 2 billion. Don't tell me, these are not capital. ”

"Whether the documentary is released in North America or not is a second question, and my real home is in China. ”

Nikki was speechless, at this moment she hated the local tyrants, especially this kind of local tyrants who get rich and don't make money. She confessed, went out to make a phone call, and when she came back after a while, she said: "I can't be the master, I need to go back to the United States, and it's best to take the copy with me." ”

There is no point in continuing like this. But she really didn't want to give up on the film, so she decided to take a break and let Warner see the quality of the film before doing anything else.

"Yes," Chen Ergou said, "Fianna and Karen Cai will go with you." "Fianna is Xia Meng's English name, and Karen is Cai Yinong.

Although it is a little radical, Cai Yinong also has to say that Chen Ergou is the most suitable to explain to Hollywood people. The results of their previous discussions will appear to be too weak, and they will be eaten to death by the other party.

The biggest difference between this film and independent films is that it has become world-famous.

Obviously not a multi-million dollar business, nor is it the type of independent film industry where a hundred thousand dollars have to be negotiated back and forth.

The negotiation battlefield has shifted to the United States, and the essence is still controlled by Chen Ergou. Even if the documentary is really released in North America, how much box office can it sell? 10 million or 20 million, even if he gets a 30% share of the box office, it is only a million dollars, which is not even a fraction of the revenue compared to the increasingly huge Chinese market.

He didn't care about that little bit either.
