Before Jiang Ran came to Harvey Weinstein's banquet, he knew that Harvey should have an idea about his "Chainsaw", he thought about the European release, and he thought about the investment co-production, but he never thought that Harvey Weinstein would be so greedy.

A movie like "Saw Horror" is destined to become a gold mine, as long as it is successful, no one will give up its copyright stupidly,

"Do I look like a hillbilly who has never seen the world?" Jiang Ran couldn't help but think to himself.

Of course, Harvey Weinstein saw Jiang Ran's displeasure, but he didn't want to give up like this, and continued to look at Jiang Ran with a sincere face, "Jiang, I know this will make you embarrassed, but I am very sincere, and we can negotiate the price." ”

Jiang Ran will definitely not sell the copyright of "Chainsaw", Ranfeng Group finally has a project in North America that can be slightly handled this time, Jiang Ran is thinking about relying on it to develop the North American film market and gain a firm foothold in the United States.

"Oh, I don't know what kind of price you can offer, Harvey?" Jiang Ran asked with a pretended to be very interested.

When Harvey Weinstein heard Jiang Ran's words, his eyes lit up, and he said happily: "Jiang, as long as you are interested, we can talk about the price slowly." ”

Harvey Weinstein didn't give Jiang Ran a definite answer right away, and it seems that although he wanted to get the project, he didn't plan to give it a high price.

Jiang Ran smiled at his answer, and then said: "But, my friend, I am leaving the United States tomorrow, and my company in Hong Kong still has many things that I need to go back to deal with personally, so..."

The joy on Harvey's face stiffened slightly, knowing what Jiang Ran meant, if he couldn't give him an offer he was interested in now, Jiang Ran and Ben would not have stayed in the United States specifically for this matter.

"Okay, my friend, what do you think of five million dollars?" Harvey Weinstein offered a very low price, apparently trying to leave himself room for bargaining.

When Jiang Ran heard this, he looked at Harvey very unhappily, pointed at himself with his finger, and said with a little indignation, "Mr. Weinstein, do you think I look like a fool who has not seen the world?"

Harvey's face is very thick-skinned, and his acting skills are also very amazing, staring at a pair of bull's eyes, he looked at Jiang Ran in surprise, and asked, "Jiang, why do you say that?"

Jiang Ran stared straight at Harvey Weinstein for a while, and didn't bother to act with him again, and patted him on the shoulder, "Okay, Harvey." I am very honored to be here today for this banquet that you have organized, and let's not waste our time on these boring tasks. We should enjoy life more than ever now. ”

After listening to Jiang Ran's words, Harvey Weinstein knew that Jiang Ran should be very dissatisfied with his previous offer, and he had no interest in talking about this matter again. If he doesn't fight for it now, this matter will basically be yellow, thinking of this, he finally became a little anxious.

"Jiang, don't be so anxious to refuse. I said that the price can be negotiated, I will add another three million dollars, eight million dollars, this price is already very high, and the total box office of "Chainsaw" is now just over five million dollars. ”

Jiang Ran listened to this offer and was slightly satisfied, of course, he was only sincerely satisfied with Harvey Weinstein's offer. Looking at Harvey Weinstein very sincerely, Jiang Ran said: "Harvey, you know that "Chainsaw" is a small-budget movie. ”

"According to the current box office trend, the film's total North American box office of 10 million dollars is never a problem, and 20 million dollars is also worth looking forward to. How much do you think I'm going to end up making at the North American box office? I think it's going to be 10 million dollars. Not to mention that there are also markets such as videotapes and Europe, so let's change the topic. ”

Harvey Weinstein's expression changed slightly, he was silent for a while, and then he spoke again: "Jiang, you can easily strive for such a big profit this time, and that's because no one pays attention to this movie, and there are no competitors in the market who pay enough attention." ”

"But the situation will be different in the future, next time you will face a strong opponent, and now you can get a part of the profit without any risk, and transfer the risk to me, isn't it a very good choice?"

Harvey Weinstein saw that Jiang Ran was silent and did not answer his words, and said persistently: "Although my Miramax Film Company cannot be compared with several major film groups in Hollywood, it also has a certain strength, if you can sell me the copyright of "Chainsaw", you will get the friendship between my Harvey Weinstein and Miramax Film Company." ”

Jiang Ran heard Harvey Weinstein say this, the expression on his face changed, and then he slowly turned his head to look at Harvey Weinstein, and after half a sound, the expression on his face suddenly relaxed, and then said with a smile: "Oh, Harvey, this is your confidence and sincerity?"

Seeing that Harvey Weinstein's expression remained unchanged, just looking at him with a confident smile, Jiang Ran pursed his lips slightly, and then said disapprerovingly: "To be honest, Harvey. I don't care about the millions of dollars in profits, if it's just to win friendships, why don't I choose to work with the Big Eight. ”

Harvey Weinstein had already changed color slightly when he heard Jiang Ran say that he didn't care about millions of dollars in profits, he had investigated Jiang Ran before meeting Jiang Ran, but he only knew that Ran Feng Group was a Hong Kong film company that had risen in the last year or two, and the others didn't know much, after all, Hong Kong was too far away from the United States.

Originally, he thought that Ranfeng Company was just a newly rising company, and Jiang Ran did not have a big background, so its economic strength should not be too strong. So after he offered millions of dollars in benefits, he began to put implicit pressure on Jiang Ran, thinking that he would make Jiang Ran succumb, but the current situation seems to be different.

"Jiang, you don't need to take any risks, millions of profits are not a small amount, can you really give it up?" Harvey Weinstein said with a forced and calm smile.

"In addition, the friendship of the eight major companies is not so easy to obtain, and you have not met enough people in a few companies until now to know their pride. Believe me, friend, the conditions they give must not be as good as the ones I give. ”

Jiang Ran finally knew why Harvey Weinstein threatened himself so unscrupulously, it turned out that he was sure that the eight major companies would not look down on him and would kill him.

Jiang Ran smiled slightly, and then said: "Harvey, the profit of several million dollars is indeed not small, but it is not a big deal for me. And the center of my career is in Hong Kong, Hollywood is just a playground for me, although I yearn and desire to enter this playground, but I also do not recommend quitting or even destroying this playground. ”

Jiang Ran showed his strength and attitude to Harvey Weinstein - you Harvey has the strength to force me to quit Hollywood, but I don't mind losing money to ruin your Harvey's good deeds, anyway, your strength is not up to Hong Kong, and it can't threaten my foundation.

Harvey obviously understood Jiang Ran's words, his face changed slightly, and he looked at Jiang Ran's eyes that seemed to be smiling, "He didn't say a joke!" Harvey was very sure in his heart.

"Does he really have that strength?" said Harvey Weinstein.

As if seeing Harvey Weinstein's hesitation, Jiang Ran continued: "Harvey, you may not know me well, I have my own newspaper and TV station in Hong Kong, the largest cinema company in Hong Kong, and I also have clothing brands and fashion magazines all over Asia, so the Hollywood market is just the icing on the cake for me. ”

Harvey Weinstein no longer hesitated when he heard this, he knew that since Jiang Ran had made things so clear, there would be no fakes. Although he didn't take Jiang Ran's threat too seriously, there was no need to create a rich enemy for the sake of the benefits that he was destined to get.

"Well, my friend. Looks like you're not going to transfer Saw to me. It's a shame. But my friendship with you isn't going to change, is it? "Harvey's cheek is already able to withstand the bombardment of Canon's heavy artillery.

Jiang Ran obviously doesn't really want to be an enemy of people like Harvey Weinstein, and he also wants to make a difference in the North American market.

"For our friendship. Jiang Ran raised his glass with a smile and said.

"Ding" The two wine glasses gently collided with a false smile.
