Chapter 17 Abandonment of Investment
It's a lavish screening room, and five white men of all ages are staring at the movie screen, watching it meticulously. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The screening room belongs to Castle Stone Films and is located on the top floor of an office building in Hollywood.
Five white men sat side by side on one side of an oval table, opposite Tracy. Jacob.
The room was filled with smoke, and Tracy was a little dizzy, but she didn't make any comments, and was very patient with him, and the five people opposite him were all the founders of the castle stone and the object of her investment this time.
The balding old man in the middle seat is called Martin. Schaefer, the boss of the castle stone, has the right to make the final decision, and the four people on both sides are Robert. Reiner, Andy. Schynman, Glenn. Pannick and Allen. Horne.
This time the introduction was Tracy's private act, and she didn't turn to the WMA, she hated it.
She is the youngest of the five, Alan. Horn was a classmate, but she was here not because of friendship, but because of the six-minute sample she got from Li Wei.
Allan. Horn is a legendary superstar Bruce. Li's admirers liked that sample very much, so they single-handedly contributed to the joint viewing of the five bosses.
Six minutes passed quickly, and the screen turned off.
After the lights are turned on, the big boss Martin. Schaefer immediately asked Tracy, "Why is it only five or six minutes, where is the whole film, ma'am?" I want to watch the whole movie! ”
Tracy spread his hands and said: "This film is still being filmed, and I can't provide the whole film!" ”
"Oh!" Several people nodded at the same time, and immediately understood what Tracy meant. Schaeffer smiled and said, "You're here to ask us to invest in this movie, right, ma'am?" ”
"Not bad!"
"I've heard Alan mention you, you're a professional agent in the WMA, please forgive me for taking the liberty of ...... lady" Martin. Schaeffer raised his hand to Tracy and emphasized, "It's the producer's job to find investors, not yours, are you sure you have the ability to negotiate with me?" ”
Tracy combed through the wording and said slowly: "Mr. Schaefer, to be exact, is the producer, starring and director of this movie, and is also the VIP client I signed a contract with, Will Brown. Lee appointed me to negotiate with you, and I have the right to decide, and as for whether I have the ability or not, this is not something that Mr. Schaeffer needs to worry about! ”
"Alright, then let's get started!" Martin. Schaefer quickly got into the groove and said, "Your clip made me swoon for five or six minutes, so I have a strong desire to invest, how much money do you need?" ”
"Of course, the more the merrier, I wonder how much Mr. Schaefer is prepared to provide?" Tracy kicks the ball out.
In the past, no matter how much of a Razi he faced, Martin. Schaefer doesn't easily reveal the words 'investment desire', but this time it's different, he was really shocked by the dailies, and the actions in the dailies may not be as blues. Li is so iron-blooded, tough and masculine, but flexible and changeable, as beautiful as a dance, it is simply a violent art, this is a type of action that has never appeared in Hollywood film history, perhaps only the Xiangjiang Demon Capital in the East that focuses on kung fu movies can be produced, but the director and starring of the sample film are not yellow.
Martin. Schaefer had a gut feeling that the film would definitely make him a lot of money, because he really couldn't think of any loss-making factors.
He discussed with his partner for a while before saying: "We can't make a commitment to the investment ceiling, but we can guarantee that the upfront capital is at least one million dollars, but ma'am, there are conditions for the contribution, the production must be handed over to us, and the photography must also be our people, with all due respect, the photographer of this sample is a stupid pig, I suspect he has never been in charge of the camera, you look at his lens, those violent scenes could have been shot more elegantly, he will ruin this film!" ”
"The copyright must be ours too!"
"There is also a heroine who must be designated by us!"
"We only provide a fixed salary, and we will not give up a single point of box office dividends!"
“……”
Tracy waited for them to finish talking, and replied very calmly, "Will. Mr. Li is a stubborn person, he has told me more than once that no one is allowed to interfere with any detail of his film, that is, you only need to pay for it, you don't want to participate in the production of the film, and if you agree, we will compromise on the dividends! ”
"Boom!"
The boss on the opposite side was like a chicken blood, and began to point at Tracy and yell, and there were two words that were repeated the most, Falk Oil, Falk Your Will. Plum!
Then, the negotiations broke up unhappily.
Tracy was depressed and left the castle stone headquarters with her old classmate Alan. Horn sent her out, smiling wryly and saying, "Tracy, that Will. Mr. Li is your client, you have the obligation to persuade, his conditions no movie will agree, if he is allowed to be willful, even if he has the ability to make "Star Wars", he will not be able to raise a single fund! ”
"Not necessarily! There are hundreds of movie companies in Hollywood, and there are always crazy bosses! ”
With Allen. After Horn separated, Tracy drove to the Burbank set.
Today is the tenth day of her signing with Li Wei, "The Killer Tragedy" has been filmed halfway, and when she entered the set, she suddenly had a sense of frustration, she was worried that when she brought in investment, Li Wei would finish filming the movie.
In fact, she has a big contradiction with Li Wei, she hopes that Li Wei can slow down the filming progress and strive for excellence, but Li Wei is bent on finishing the film as soon as possible, so that he can take the whole film to the film company to sell it for money.
Neither of them could convince the other.
Tracy thought about her thoughts and stepped into the bar set.
Today is the highlight of Sister Lai.
Binger, the killer, arrives in town at the same time as the wandering singer Murphy, and the barmaid Domino takes Murphy as a killer and has a romantic exchange with Murphy.
"Twelve scenes, eighteen acts, two, action!"
Domino pulls out a dagger and asks Murphy, who lies in the tub and plays his guitar.
"My eyes were full of nervousness,
I'm lying in the bathtub not a pervert,
Someone took a knife and tried to cut my large intestine,
castrated me still in the streets,
The fairy in front of him is kind at heart,
Flying swords full of soft light,
Charming eyes are better than the moon,
I really want to taste the devil's figure. ”
……
“cut! Pass! ”
Li Wei was still lying in the bathtub, looking at Sister Lai naked, one hand reached into the air, and waved it towards Zhong Fang, who was shooting in front of the door, "David, you can call it a day!" ”
Zhong Fangnunu mouthed, hugged the camera and left the bedroom, and closed the door casually, he didn't want to make a big light bulb.
Because of the needs of the plot, Sister Lai is only wearing a layer of tulle today, and the twin peaks are firm and full of temptation. Confused, Li Wei couldn't stop looking at the two cherries of the red.
"You're getting a nosebleed!" Sister Lai sat on the chair next to the bathtub, her bare feet on the edge of the bathtub, and said to Li Wei with a smile.
Li Wei raised his hand to wipe it, but he couldn't wipe it clean, he definitely did it on purpose.
"There's still a little bit at the corner of the mouth!" Sister Lai stretched out her fingers, but was grabbed by Li Wei, and gently pulled, and her hot body went to the bathtub.
Before Sister Lai could react, Li Wei had already hurriedly pressed towards the pair of soft red lips.
It's a pity that it's only one step away!
"Bump!"
Tracy rushed to the bedroom like a wind, was stunned for a moment, and then picked up the bath towel and threw it to the two of them, "Will, Miramax's people have just contacted me, and they are willing to make concessions, but they want to see you, come with me immediately!" ”
Tracy runs dozens of film companies these days, and Castle Stone is just one of them.
"Miramax? Did the Weinstein brothers contact you? Li Wei subconsciously asked, then turned his face blank and said very dissatisfied: "Tracy, remember to knock on the door next time!" Agents should respect the privacy of their clients, and if my mother saw a woman your age breaking into my private home at every turn, she would definitely shoot you up. ”
"I thought I was your mother!" Tracy sneered and replied, "Even let me take care of your laundry, Shet, I have never done so much to my son." ”
Sister Lai was already dressed at this time, she was still shy, and walked out with a red face.
Tracy looked at her back and shook her head, and said to Li Wei seriously, "Are you pursuing her?" Will, I'm not allowed to touch my girls. ”
"It was just an accident that I couldn't help it!" While dressing, Li Wei said: "In addition, Leslie lent me her $20,000 savings, which is enough for me to complete the filming, and I am not ready to introduce any more investors, Tracy, thank you for running for me these days!" ”
Tracy was on the verge of going berserk, suspecting that Li Wei had never had the intention of bringing in investors.
"I won't let you work in vain!" Li Wei saw that she had signs of rampage, and immediately took out a document from his briefcase, and said: "This is the script of the next play, and I will completely hand over the right to attract investment to you!" ”
"You've written another script?" Tracy couldn't help but be stunned, took the script and read it, and immediately exclaimed, "Will, you're such a genius!" ”
