Things in the world are often implicated, and the occurrence of one thing is likely to lead to the concurrency of another thing, for example, the media hyped up the cooperation between China and the United States to make a film for cultural exchanges to congratulate the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States.

Duane sat on the high stool in the studio, and across from him sat a middle-aged man dressed in leather shoes, who looked very shrewd, but his sideburns were a little gray, and a strong mature atmosphere greeted him, which was a model of the kind of uncle that gradually began to rise.

With Duane's current eyes, it is not difficult to see that the price of the middle-aged man's hand-made suit will not be less than 50,000 yuan, which is incompatible with the stool covered with mottled paint on his legs under his buttocks, but the other party is sitting very steadily, with a confident smile on the corner of his mouth, as if he is sitting in a delicate and elegant clubhouse instead of the current messy studio. Compared to him, Duane, who wore a long-sleeved shirt with a leggings and a pair of jeans on his legs, was much more casual.

This guy's name is You Zhixiao, and he is the president of "IMAX China", a company owned by IMAX, which is independent of IMAX's Asia-Pacific business and specializes in China's largest film market at this stage.

“…… We have made great concessions, and such a ratio of investment and income is enough to demonstrate our sincerity, and I believe that Du Dao will not find a more generous investor than us. ”

You Zhixiao smiled when he said this, and joked: "To be honest, at this time, I regret a little why I didn't study directing in the first place, but studied business administration." ”

Du An laughed and didn't answer for the time being, just looked at You Zhixiao.

This meeting was made up to him by Richard, the CEO of IMAX, and he hadn't been in touch for so long, and he thought Richard had forgotten about him, but he didn't expect him to suddenly appear and facilitate this meeting.

You Zhixiao's purpose is also very clear, as I said just now, that is, I hope to continue the content of the conversation between him and Richard last time and complete the original project investment.

Obviously, seeing the films produced by Duane one after another as Duane said at the beginning to achieve his expected results, such a miracle moved Richard or the board of directors behind him, and the recent establishment of diplomatic relations between China and the United States to make a joint film was the fuse that ignited the matter - they were probably afraid that Duane would really run away to make a collaborative film.

IMAX companies take huge risks to invest in major film and television companies in China, and some films dare to vote without even reading the book just by listening to a rough idea, in order to guide the direction of future films, and produce more visual blockbusters that are conducive to giving full play to the advantages of IMAX, so as to achieve the purpose of promoting IMAX, and if according to what Duane said, the film plan he mentioned before is a bombshell for IMAX companies, and its level is no less than the atomic bomb, so how can they let Duane run to shoot the main theme joint venture film of what kind of shitHe really ran to make that film, and he said that when would this atomic bomb be detonated?

You know, if this atomic bomb is detonated, it is very likely to speed up the promotion process of IMAX by a few months or even a year or two, which is a lot of profit for IMAX companies.

So Richard made a phone call, and then the president of IMAX China came over and talked to Duane about it.

"If I'm not mistaken,"

Du An's looked at You Zhixiao, and finally spoke, "What I was talking about with Mr. Richard at the beginning was advertising investment, not the cost investment you are talking about now. ”

Although they wanted to continue to complete the last project investment, it was clear that IMAX was not wronged, and they could not agree to Duane's original proposal. You Zhixiao has also expressed his position before, and his preliminary opinion is based on what Du An said last time, but instead of investing 300 million, but 200 million, and the 200 million also has dividend requirements, and the specific project involves the later release, family market, peripherals, etc.

You Zhixiao said: "But Director Du, you should also understand that you neither give us a title, nor promise to add a specific amount of advertising placement to the movie, so this advertising investment is really not valid." And I have already said the equity ratio we are asking for, we invest 200 million, and only ask for 50% of the equity and the orientation of the project, I believe that no matter which director, this is an amazing welfare investment. ”

Duane understands that this condition is indeed a benefit for other directors, and it is an absolute angel investment.

But he wasn't among them.

"It's really an amazing investment in welfare. ”

Du An nodded, agreeing with You Zhixiao's words, but immediately changed his head and asked, "You is always a Lu person, right? ”

You Zhixiao said, "Director Du also has research on dialects?"

Duane said: "In this business, there are people from all over the world, so naturally I have a little understanding, especially some scenes, you also know, they are filmed in dialects......

You Zhixiao obviously came to talk to him about business, but when he pulled it like this, he pulled it to another place, and he didn't give You Zhixiao a chance to pull the conversation back, as soon as he saw You Zhixiao want to pull the conversation back, he forcibly interjected and continued to deviate the topic, so that he didn't talk about the first half of the business at the end, let alone give You Zhixiao a clear answer.

Chatting and chatting, the time was not early, and after Duane looked at his watch, he began to send off the guests politely.

"It stands to reason that you have to invite Mr. You to have a light meal anyway, but it's really unfortunate that Mr. You came, I just had an appointment tonight, and this appointment can't be pushed off, alas, it's really a headache......"

Duane had already stood down from the high stool, although he didn't say anything about sending off the guest, nor did he go to the door, but this posture could be seen at a glance by a discerning person that he was going to send off a guest.

You Zhixiao was also interested, and said with a smile: "That's really unfortunate, I just don't know who Director Du is dating you? Maybe I know you too." ”

Du An was slightly embarrassed when he heard this, and said hesitantly: "It's me who is a little hair, and you definitely don't know you." The key is that I made an appointment for this meal a month ago, and it is really not authentic to postpone it temporarily......"

Of course you know, not only you know, but everyone in the circle knows.

You Zhixiao nodded, and didn't ask any further, "That's really a pity." He was about to go, but he didn't take a step, and his eyes stopped on the wall in front of him.

"I noticed it when I came in,"

You Zhixiao pointed to the surrounding walls, turned back and asked Du An: "If it's convenient, can you ask me, are these monsters the content of Director Du's next movie?" ”

Du An's eyes swept around and said, "Draw and play casually, if you like it, pick two and go." ”

You Zhixiao confirmed, "Is it okay?"

Duane smiled, "Of course, which ones do you like?"

"Then you're welcome. ”

You Zhixiao was really unkind, and really picked two pieces, one was a standing monster, and the other was a monster like a hill lying on his stomach. Duane's current painting skills are really good, these two virtual monsters are painted vividly, especially the standing monster has a very hideous face, and it is really a little crazy if you stare closely.

Du An is not a professional painter, and he doesn't even have a tube for a picture scroll, You Zhixiao can only roll up these two paintings and put them under his armpits.

Finally went out, got into his car, sat in the back, the driver started the car, You Zhixiao also threw the two paintings to the side, pressed the middle baffle down, took one of the paintings and opened it, looked at it carefully, and muttered to himself for a while.

When did the famous third master become your hair small...... It's a funny picture, it's scary to look at......"
