"Actually, I've been thinking about how this movie should be made for a long time...... Such a story with a grand theme and deep into the soul is not made into a movie....... That's a pity......" Staven Bell sighed and said, "The Shawshank Redemption" is a pure literary film, and Cheng Xiaoyu's story is a story that can perfectly combine business and art, although the former has more depth, but the latter will definitely have more extensive influence.

"I'm really sorry....." Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said, what happened in Tokyo asked him to write down, and it would be completely different from what Miss Aso wrote, because he knew all the truth of the matter.

Catherine originally planned to come over to see if Cheng Xiaoyu was the author of the script and go back to the room, but after knowing such amazing news, she became very interested in Cheng Xiaoyu, dragged the chair next to the round table, sat down too, and asked with some curiosity: "Aren't you a music director?

For a while, the newspapers reported this matter very diligently, but this incident did not happen in the United States, so although there was attention, it did not set off any waves.

Cheng Xiaoyu shrugged his shoulders, took a sip of Hennessy with ice cubes, paused and said: "This story is a bit complicated to tell clearly, I will say it simply, because my father is a relatively powerful family in Huaxia, but I am just an illegitimate child, after his death, as you can imagine, a lot of things happened, so I left Huaxia, went to Neon, was tried in Neon, was imprisoned, and came to the United States after being amnesty...... Now I'm going to prove myself in my own way......"

Catherine was a little excited to hear Cheng Xiaoyu say, although she likes the ups and downs of life, but she can be said to have been smooth sailing since she was a child, Cheng Xiaoyu's experience did not win sympathy, but envy, she said with some excitement: "It sounds like a bit of "The Count of Monte Cristo", life is really more exciting than movies..... Your story can be made into a biographical film........"

Cheng Xiaoyu shook his head and said softly: "No, in fact, I don't want to retaliate against anyone..... I just don't want to disappoint those who love me...... And I have something I want to protect....."

At this time, Staven Bell no longer had any doubts that Cheng Xiaoyu was the author of "The Shawshank Redemption", Cheng Xiaoyu's rich life experience was enough to support him to write such a connotative script, he said with a sigh: "I didn't expect you to be young, but you have experienced so many hardships......"

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said: "For me, all this experience is not suffering at all, but I am very grateful for everything life has given me." Cheng Xiaoyu is not a very greedy person, so he feels that he has gained too much, so much that he can't repay them all, even if some experiences make him feel painful, he also knows that it is because he asked for things that he can't get......

Seeing Cheng Xiaoyu's calm smile, Staven Bell admired this somewhat detached child more and more, he raised his glass and said enthusiastically: "Then it's time for you to harvest, Rain, I want this script, tell me what you want to get....."

Catherine also turned her head to look at Cheng Xiaoyu, wanting to know what he wanted when he took great pains to get rid of himself and handed the script to his grandfather, it was definitely not something as superficial as money.....

After Cheng Xiaoyu toasted to Staven Bell, he wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth with a tissue, then stretched out his hand and gestured a finger, paused and said, "Mr. Staven, I only need a dollar and a chance ......."

There was no surprise on Staven's face, he just looked into Cheng Xiaoyu's eyes and asked, "Oh, opportunity, what chance do you need?"

"I think your granddaughter Catherine also knows that I'm also making a film and my work has been edited, and I'm hoping that Universal will help me release it. Cheng Xiaoyu took out a DVD from his bag and placed it in front of Staven Bell.

Staven Bell didn't go to see a DVD, but asked a little puzzled, "You also make movies, so why don't you make "The Shawshank Redemption" yourself?"

Cheng Xiaoyu said: "It doesn't make much sense for me to shoot this movie, for me, the top actors of the two protagonists are not something I can easily invite, the key is that I am afraid that this movie will probably not get the award, and the box office will not make money, so it is better to give you a suitable director to shoot it......."

Staven Bell nodded and felt that if Cheng Xiaoyu really filmed it himself, maybe it would be as he said, and the bamboo basket would be empty, so he muttered: "If it's just for release, I think you will pay too much for this script in exchange...... Although I don't know your level of directing, judging from this script, it won't be much worse......"

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled and said with an admiring expression: "You are really like a torch, Mr. Staven...... In fact, there are also companies that are willing to issue for me, but the conditions are not negotiable, because my requirements are a bit high......"

Staven Bell laughed and said, "Publishers are always the most greedy people, tell me how demanding you are......"

Cheng Xiaoyu took a deep breath and said: "I hope to release this film in cooperation with 'Universal', and my company is willing to share the distribution costs, and we can negotiate the specific proportion, but I want 75% of the gross profit..... In other words, the world only needs to provide the people and channels for publicity, and appropriately provide some publicity and distribution expenses........"

Before Stavin could speak, Catherine exclaimed with a look of wonder that she was, "Seventy-five percent of gross profits......?"

Staven's expression didn't change, he just shook his head and said, "Even if you are willing to bear all the publicity costs, this ratio is indeed a bit excessive......"

Cheng Xiaoyu said in a deep voice: "I am willing to sign a gambling agreement with 'Universal', and if the box office does not reach 150 million US dollars, I don't want to ....... a penny."

Staven Bell smiled and said, "At first Catherine called you megalomaniacs, I didn't understand why, now I do, you are so confident that I am pleasantly surprised...... Dare to make such a big bet in the first movie......."

Cheng Xiaoyu did not explain that he had made movies in Huaxia and achieved certain results, but said: "I am very short of money now, a little money is of no use to me, it is better to bet big, and I am very confident in my movies and the world.....

Catherine sat on the side and picked up the DVD and looked it up and down, just a disc in a plastic box, there was no information recorded on it, not even a name, she asked: "It's also a horror movie...... Through "The Shawshank Redemption" and Cheng Xiaoyu's experience, she didn't dare to underestimate Cheng Xiaoyu, but the tone of her voice was still a little frivolous, which made people feel a sense of contempt.

This time, Cheng Xiaoyu didn't compete with Catherine, but nodded calmly, and said, "Miss Catherine, you'd better not watch it....... Provincial ....... of anger"

Catherine felt that Cheng Xiaoyu was too underestimating her measurements, and frowned and said, "Why should I be angry......"

Cheng Xiaoyu smiled but did not answer.

Staven Bell stood up and said, "Let's take a look at your movie first, and to be honest, you made me curious about your film.....

Cheng Xiaoyu also stood up and said very humbly: "This movie is purely filmed to make money, there is no way to be elegant, Director Staven, don't think I'm insulting Hollywood movies after watching it......"

Catherine sneered and said, "It's too late for you to clear your name now...... I'm going to see what kind of horror movie you made......." (To be continued.) )
