Chapter 333: No one is Kaizi
It's still the same living room as before, but now there is no longer the ambiguous atmosphere and pink lights that it used to be. Instead, bright lights and a clean environment. Even the whiskey that I used to make has been replaced with coffee at this time.
Paris, who no longer had the bewitching appearance between her eyebrows, crossed her legs, folded her arms in front of her chest, and looked at Zhang Fan, who was sitting leisurely and coffee opposite her, with a cold expression. is completely the arrogant appearance of a domineering female president, full of aura.
It's a pity that Zhang Fan is not an urban special forces with battlefield syndrome, and he will not give everything he has for a woman.
"Zhang, I need a film that will make me extremely well-known all over the world." Paris had completely lost her previous delicate appearance at this time, and looked at Zhang Fan with a posture of negotiation in a shopping mall, "Make a price." ”
Zhang Fan lit a cigarette with a leisurely face, and only looked at Paris after swallowing the clouds and exhaling the fog, "First of all, you have to understand one thing, this is what you are asking me to do, not the other way around." So, it's not me who makes the offer, but you have to show your sincerity to impress me. Do you understand? ”
Paris gritted her white teeth and stared at Zhang Fan with cold eyes, but a sense of powerlessness rose in her heart.
From birth than the vast majority of people. Paris, who is much taller, has been held since she was a child. Countless people, especially men, flattered her in front of her, rushing to help her do everything, and they couldn't wait to show her their hearts and lungs. She has been used to this kind of thing for so many years, but Zhang Fan has completely subverted the tradition.
This man is not something that can be conquered by charm. This is Paris's definition of Zhang Fan at this time.
"I don't know much about movies, and I don't know what kind of conditions are needed to do it." Paris shook her head slightly, "My goal is to make my popularity spread around the world quickly. As long as you can do this, you can negotiate what you give. ”
"Why?" Zhang Fan spit out a smoke ring and asked curiously.
Paris glanced at Zhang Fan, took out a lady's cigarette from Louis Vuitton's handbag and lit it, swallowing the clouds and spitting smoke with Zhang Fan. Now that the words have been made clear, there is no need to continue pretending to be a lady in front of Zhang Fan. Smoking or something was nothing to her.
"My property is basically fixed assets." Paris spat out a smoke ring and looked at Zhang Fan, "Real estate and stocks or something." There is very little real liquidity. But my expenses are huge. ”
"I believe that." Zhang Fan looked at Paris's famous brand, maybe these luxuries are nothing to Paris. But the diamond necklace around her neck didn't have a few hundred or tens of millions of dollars to take. And Zhang Fan has also heard rumors about this young rich woman. Whether it is food, clothing, housing and transportation, it is very luxurious, and I like to spend a lot of money at various auctions. If you don't move your fixed assets, it's not enough to make a living or make some investments.
"I recently started my own fashion brand." Paris explained aloud: "Fashion brands sell fame, and the quality is actually about the same. Chanel, Dior, Louis Vuitton are all brands that sell rather than products. If my fashion brand wants to open the market quickly, the best option is that I have a strong reputation all over the world. ”
"Must make a movie?" Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows, puzzled by Paris's choice.
"It's the fastest and most convenient option." Paris explains: "I don't have the time to run my own brand for decades like Mademoiselle Chanel. I needed to make my own fashion brand in a short period of time. ”
"What an impetuous world." Zhang Fan sighed. This is the case in this day and age, where the fast-paced life forces everyone to speed up the pace of life. Because time is everything.
"You're the best producer in Hollywood." Paris looked at Zhang Fan with blazing eyes, "I need your help." ”
"I can make a movie for you." Zhang Fan smiled and raised his hand to stop Paris who was just about to laugh: "But all the expenses have to be paid by you." And you can only get half of the box office revenue of the movie, and the copyright belongs to me. Also, I want to take at least 30% of your fashion brand. ”
"Why don't you grab it!" Paris sneered, "The money wants me to pay, and the risk wants me to do." Only half of the box office receipts in the end? You still want a stake in my fashion brand? Where in this world can something so good? ”
Zhang Fan shrugged his shoulders indifferently, "You can refuse, anyway, it doesn't matter to me whether there is or not." Don't forget, you're begging me to do something. ”
Listening to Zhang Fan's words, Paris was angry. Zhang Fan's words are indeed not wrong, this is Paris begging Zhang Fan to do something, not the other way around, Zhang Fan is begging her. If Zhang Fan begged her, it is estimated that the conditions will be even worse.
"How much investment is required?" Paris tries to calm her mind and asks how much money she needs to invest.
"Production, preparation, script, shooting, publicity and distribution. Let's prepare $250 million first, and then continue to add if it's not enough. Zhang Fan pointed his fingers at the calculation of one item.
"250 million dollars?! Not enough to add?! Paris's pretty eyes widened, "You're treating me like a Kaizi, aren't you?" What movie needs so much money?! ”
"You think you can make a movie and become famous all over the world?" Zhang Fan smiled: "Do you think it's a simple thing to make a movie that can make you famous all over the world?" Do you think you can just throw a few million dollars into a small-budget movie and be a big hit? Don't underestimate the movie, it's not as simple as you think. ”
"I can't imagine how complicated it is." Paris even pinched the cigarette in her hand, "I don't understand why I need so much money. ”
"The script is mine, and my script has been proven successful in Hollywood, so it will cost at least $20 million for the script. It's a friendly price. Zhang Fan explained Paris one by one: "If this movie wants to become famous, it must require me to be the director, and my directing fee is at least $20 million plus box office share. As long as I don't ask for a box office share, it's already for the sake of us being friends. ”
"Ha~~~" Paris sneered, and anger began to gather in her eyes.
"After that, it's time to shoot, and you can't save that money. By the way, you won't be paid if you act on your own. This is something to keep in mind. Zhang Fan didn't care about Paris's anger, and continued to speak on his own, "The promotion of the movie is a sum, and then the distribution is also a sum." It takes money, a lot of money to do it. ”
Looking at Paris with an angry face, Zhang Fan said softly, "I didn't lie to you, and I didn't take you as a Kaizi." These are genuine prices. I said that this is a friendship price, and it is true. If you believe me, then I can make a plan for you right now. If you don't want to, then it's as if it didn't happen. By the way, I'll settle the money for the banquet hall today. ”
"Whew~~~" Paris raised her head and let out a long sigh, "Okay, then tell me what kind of movie you are going to shoot that requires so much investment, and finally make me, a person who has never acted in a movie, famous in the world?" ”
"First of all, we don't have a formal contract yet. Therefore, the information related to the movie cannot be disclosed to you. This is the rule of the trade, if you don't invest in my idea after listening to it, but go to someone else to make it, then I won't lose money? Zhang Fan Zhang Fan stretched out his hand and tapped on the table in front of him, "Secondly, I have never guaranteed that the movie will be a success, and it will definitely make you famous in the world and drive your fashion brand." Whether the film will succeed or not, no one can guarantee. All I can say is that you have invested and you have a chance to succeed. If you don't invest, you won't succeed. Don't think pies will fall from the sky for you to eat, and I'm not Kaizi. ”
"Can't you guarantee success, and you still need so much money?" Paris is a little dizzy now, Zhang Fan is simply a demon who makes her pay a lot of money to buy opportunities, and it is not necessarily a chance to succeed. At this moment, Paris really wanted to leave with her hands!
If Paris could really shake off her hand angrily and leave, then she would not have taken the initiative to find Zhang Fan today. Contrary to rumors and media portrayals, Paris is a very smart woman. After all, he received an elite education from an early age and was cultivated as an heir. If it was really big-minded, the owner of the Hilton Hotel would have changed a long time ago.
Anger was followed by calm, and the room fell silent. Zhang Fan smoked silently, while Paris frowned and was thinking about something.
It wasn't until Zhang Fan smoked two cigarettes in succession that Paris raised her head and looked at him, "There's no room for negotiation?" ”
"Nope." Zhang Fan shook his head and refused: "You should know that I have never been in the habit of working for others." I've always made things that make money by myself, and this time I agreed to help you, and that's really for the sake of my friends. ”
"Friends?" Paris suddenly laughed, got up and came to Zhang Fan's side and sat directly beside Zhang Fan.
Leaning close to Zhang Fan and holding his arm, Paris raised her head and whispered in Zhang Fan's ear, "What kind of friend?" Can you charge a little less for your friends' sake? Like screenwriter's fee and director's fee or something? ”
Zhang Fan frowned, looked at the coquettish face close at hand, and snorted with a righteous and awe-inspiring face, "Who do you think of me?" Am I the kind of person who can't walk when I see a beautiful woman? However, these fees are not negotiable. I've just had a lot of alcohol and now I'd love to have coffee. By the way, do you have coffee in your room? ”
Paris laughed eating, and a pair of white arms were already wrapped around Zhang Fan's neck, "There is no coffee in my room, only wine." I think we can go and have another drink together. ”
Zhang Fan sighed lightly and muttered, "One cup may not be enough." ”
