However, Li Yang couldn't let go of the movie after all, no matter how Lu Qiu bewitched, this guy also stubbornly refused, and took care of himself to observe competitors, listen to fan comments, and make all kinds of records.

Lucifer had to visit Park City on his own.

Park City is one of the best winter cities in the United States, with two heavy snowfalls, some of the best ski resorts in the natural highlands, and the hills are not to be missed.

To Luqiu's surprise, he also experienced an erotic encounter because of skiing, which added a touch of charm to this Sundance trip.

It was Lu Qiu who had just learned to ski under the guidance of his instructor and skied on his own, and his speed was restrained and controllable, but after all, not everyone was like him. There was a beginner who boldly slid down the hillside, so fast that he couldn't control it, and then he collided with him so badly.

Luqiu was sad and acted as a perfect meat pad, but fortunately, the ski suit provided enough protection for Luqiu to not get hurt.

As for the culprit who pressed on Lu Qiu, Lu Qiu wanted to criticize the education, but after he got up, he jumped and jumped excitedly, and hugged Lu Qiu's face and kissed him several times.

Well, the American girl is passionate, and Luciu decided to forgive her.

That's right, the culprit is an American girl, or a very delicate and beautiful kind of cute Lori type that conforms to the aesthetics of the Oriental.

Lu Qiu felt that she was very familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it for a while.

However, after the girl was excited, she returned to normal, apologized to Lu Qiu, and then shouted violently: "You are Lu, the star of the Gate of Destiny Lu!"

Lu Qiu was surprised, obviously this audience is still a viewer who has seen the gate of fate.

The girl said happily: "I like the gate of fate very much, but I don't understand it, Lu, can you tell me what the hell is going on? And your figure is so charming, oh, I hate winter." ”

Lu Qiu didn't know where to start, because even in the summer, he couldn't run around the streets with his bare butt.

But the girl was just joking, she stretched out her hand to Lu Qiu and said, "My name is Christina Richie, it's a pleasure to meet you, Lu." ”

Lu Qiu suddenly turned out to be the beautiful Christina, who was born as a child star, when she watched the roadshow before, she was wearing heavy makeup, and now she has no makeup, and the two styles of glamorous and mature and pure and cute are very different, no wonder Lu Qiu didn't recognize it for a while.

Lu Qiu reacted, shook the girl's hand with a smile, and introduced himself at the same time, and surprised the girl with his fluent and unaccented standard American English.

"Lu, are you an American?"

Lu Qiu shook his head, "No, I was born and raised in China, to be precise, this is my first time abroad." Of course, it's just the first time he's gone abroad in this life.

"Then your linguistic talent is simply amazing!" Christina admired, admiring, "I can't learn Latin at all, I'm stupid." ”

Lu Qiu smiled: "If I have your natural beauty, then why do you need language talent, you are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen." ”

Well, Lu Qiu didn't want to pick up girls, just politely complimented her.

Christina blushed, looked at Lu Qiu with big eyes and said, "Lu, I don't know if I have the honor to be your tour guide, I am very familiar with this side of Park City." ”

Lu Qiu said: "That's my honor, or rather, I should pay the tour guide fee to you, the beautiful lady." ”

"Oh, Lu, you are really the most gentlemanly and humorous Oriental I have ever seen. Christina was amused, Lu Qiu's humor is not like an Oriental at all, but it has a mysterious and unique temperament of an Oriental person, which makes her heart pound.

So Luqiu's next tour was accompanied by a beautiful woman, Christina is indeed very familiar with Parker City, enthusiastically took Luqiu to enjoy the beautiful scenery everywhere, tasted a variety of food, and unconsciously, Christina showed that Luqiu was very close, holding hands, hugging the waist, and whispering almost kissing.

The American girl expresses her heart to Lu Qiu with hot body language.

Lu Qiu is not Megumi Yanagishita, and he also knows that Christina just wants to make a wonderful exotic relationship with him, an Oriental, so when he drinks a little cocktail at the bar in the evening, with the help of alcohol, the natural thing that should happen happens.

It was a very ecstatic night, Christina had the openness of an American girl of this age, all kinds of bold attempts, and brought Lu Qiu an incomparably wonderful enjoyment, compared to Yuan Li's drunken passion, it seemed a little conservative and not thorough enough.

Lu Qiu's strong physique and extraordinary talent also brought Christina extreme joy, especially Lu Qiu's superb skills that he had practiced in another life, and he conquered Christina again and again, and he was the strongest athlete boyfriend on the rugby team she had in school, compared with Lu Qiu, it was also a distance of 108,000 miles.

This oriental man is simply aware of every excitement in her body, coupled with her extraordinary physical strength and the ability to conquer her to the end of the world!

A night of passion left good memories for the two.

Originally, this kind of beauty could have come a few more times, but the next day because of some things, the two had to separate and deal with it separately.

Lu Qiu has to deal with the matter of someone who is interested in buying the film rights. After the screening of the Gate of Destiny, someone approached Li Yang and wanted to buy the copyright of the Gate of Destiny, Li Yang did not dare to make the decision, Lu Qiu was going to meet the man named Harvey Weinstein in person today.

Harvey Weinstein, a white man who is not very tall and slightly fat, sits across from him and looks at Landing Hill with an expression that looks arrogant, his eyes sharp and aggressive.

As an ordinary filmmaker, when facing one of the Weinstein brothers, one of the two helmsmen of Disney's Miramax Film Company, he will inevitably be suppressed by this powerful aura and at a loss, after all, to some extent, the fate of independent films is in the hands of Hollywood power like Harvey.

However, it is a pity that Harvey is facing Luqiu, which was an investment predator that even Sequoia Capital in the United States had retained on the condition of a headquarters partner. If Harvey is the person who stands at the top of the food chain in the film industry, then Lu Qiu is the person who once stood at the top of the food chain of the whole world.

"Mr. Harvey, is Miramax planning to buy the U.S. distribution rights to Destiny's Gate for half a million dollars?" Lu Qiu took a sip of coffee and asked Weinstein casually.

"Of course not, it's just that the distribution rights in the United States are worth 500,000 yuan, I want all the copyrights, American ones, European ones, including videotapes and DVDs, packaged together, are only worth 500,000 yuan. Harvey was a little contemptuous.

"That's right, then it doesn't seem like there's anything to talk about, I thought Mr. Harvey saw the value of the Gate of Destiny, it seems that I was wrong. ”

"No, I do see the value of Destiny's Gate, but it's only worth half a million, it's a damn Chinese movie, isn't it?"

"Damn Chinese movies?" Lu Qiu looked at Weinstein, "Is Mr. Harvey deliberately trying to provoke me and my partner, I'm sure my partner has the urge to beat you up." ”

Indeed, Li Yangzheng, who was accompanying him, suppressed his anger, and Weinstein's insulting words made him want to beat this fat man in disregard of American laws!

"Then I'm welcome. Weinstein sneered, "Then I can save the 500,000 yuan, and the lawyer can help me win the copyright." ”

Li Yang almost couldn't bear it anymore, pinched his thigh hard, and then suppressed his anger, and said to Lu Qiu: "Even if this fat man has twice the price, don't sell it to him." ”

Lu Qiu nodded and said to Weinstein: "Mr. Harvey, you provoked my buddy, I'm sorry, even if you give a million, we won't sell this movie." ”

"Really?" Weinstein asked rhetorically, "I'm afraid no one will buy your movie but me!"

Lu Qiu sneered, "No, it's because you bought it that I'm sure that someone will definitely pay a higher price, my partner may be angry because you belittle his work, but I won't, I know the value of this movie, half a million dollars, and I can only buy the distribution rights in the United States." ”

"Oh young man, I admire your self-confidence, but don't forget, this is the United States, and it is difficult for your Chinese films to be recognized by a free country. Weinstein was arrogant.

"Yes, it's indeed a free country, so I'm sure you can't stop others from making offers to me, just like you can't stop so many sci-fi fans from watching Fate's Gate over and over again, and the value of this movie has been vividly demonstrated when it is screened. Lu Qiu said flatly.

Weinstein's face suddenly turned ugly.

I thought that with his status and status, he could easily suppress the scene, but he did not expect that this Chinese who looked so young was extremely shrewd and had clearly seen the value of the gate of destiny.

Indeed, in Weinstein's heart, the Gate of Destiny is a typical American sci-fi dressed in the Orient, and its complex and brain-burning plot will definitely attract the support of many hardcore sci-fi fans, and because of brain-burning, sci-fi fans are likely to watch it repeatedly to understand the plot, which makes this niche sci-fi film a great topic of publicity at the same time, and the box office potential has also increased significantly.

It was precisely because of this that Weinstein saw through this that he decided to buy it and issue it for operation. It's just that he didn't expect Lu Qiu to know about it too, but it made his plan impossible to carry out.

After staring at Lu Qiu for a while, Weinstein could not see the slightest change in emotion on Lu Qiu's face. This young man was like a rock, no matter how he was blown and rained, he could not shake it, which made Weinstein shake, and he faintly saw the shadow of the giant crocodiles on Wall Street who ate people and did not spit out bones from this Chinese, which shocked him.

"Well, I'm willing to pay 800,000 yuan to buy out all the copyrights, which is already a very sincere price. "Weinstein backed down, and many filmmakers heard it in shock.

"No, 1.5 million, below that number, I'll sell it to someone else. Lu Qiu drank his coffee and calmly quoted.

"That's impossible, a million, it's our Miramax limit, it can't be higher. ”

"But my buddy said, a million will never be sold, a million and a half million, and I won't drop a penny. ”

Weinstein stood up with a gloomy expression, "You have no sincerity at all!"

Lu Qiu said leisurely: "No, I have the greatest sincerity, because I am sure that my film will win an award at the film festival, isn't it worth the extra 500,000?"

"Win the award?" Weinstein sneered, as if hearing a joke, "You should know how many movies are shortlisted, right? Drama films only have a few awards, do you think your film is an Oscar seed, you can win the award if you want to, ridiculous!"

"Maybe you're right. Lu Qiu was unmoved, "But I just think that our film can win an award, so let's make a bet, if our film can win one of the awards in the drama category, then Mr. Harvey will buy all the rights for one and a half million dollars, and if it doesn't win the award, it will be one million." ”

"No, 800,000!" Harvey interrupted, "it's only worth 800,000 without a prize." ”

"OK!" Lu Qiu nodded and said lightly: "Then it's decided, let's see you after the awards." ”

"Goodbye, I hope your wishful thinking will come true. Weinstein took his leave, and before leaving, he did not forget to sarcastically mock Luqiu.

"You shouldn't bet with him, a million is actually a lot!" After Weinstein left, Li Yang regretted it a little, "My anger is not worth 200,000 dollars." ”

Lu Qiu said: "No, it's not anger, it's dignity, in my opinion, 700,000 US dollars can't buy a trace of dignity." ”

Li Yang also understood this truth, and sighed: "I can only hope that our film can win an award, but the competitors are really not weak, and I am worried that it will not be possible." ”

Lu Qiu said confidently: "Don't worry, Lao Li, I believe we will win the prize, Weinstein's 1.5 million is lost!"

Li Yang doesn't know where Lu Qiu's confidence comes from, only Lu Qiu himself knows that the original version of the Gate of Destiny won the Best Film Award of the Drama Jury at the 18th Sundance Film Festival, although this version has changed the background, which will lead to cultural differences, but after all, the core of science fiction has not changed, and the original version is a purely amateur team creation, with various flaws, such as shaking caused by manual shooting, no background music, poor shooting skills, and some logical flaws, etc. This version has been repaired, and there is the interpretation of Li Yang, an excellent director.

Therefore, Lu Qiu believes that even if the door of destiny may not win the most important award due to cultural differences, it will not be lost. He is not greedy, as long as he takes a random drama category or award, even if it is a photography award. On this Sundance trip, he wanted to have both beauty and money, and it was the perfect trip!
