Chapter 238: Cultural Exchange Meeting
"Gu ...... Director Gu...... How much did you really spend? He Tiejun opened his mouth wide and couldn't help but stutter. 【】
Before Gu Xiaofan entered the film, didn't he only shoot the unprofitable micro-film "Old Boy"? Where did he get so much money, it would cost at least tens of millions of yuan......
"I can't say that." Gu Xiaofan expressed his attitude with a smile:
"Now the copyright of the script is in me, and then the group will pay the funds to buy the adaptation rights of the novel, and our Black Feather Studio will cooperate deeply with the group to develop these projects, and I can even ask our partner NB to contact those novelists through the West Bund Screenwriters Association to talk about buying copyrights, Mr. Chu? Do you have any other requirements? ”
Seeing Gu Xiaofan looking over with a calm expression, Chu Qiubai and He Tiejun suddenly realized that they were completely tricked into it by Gu Xiaofan.
Gu Xiaofan seems to have been inextricably linked with Hollywood for a long time, maybe their Black Feather Studio is the NB talent pool in China?
Chu Qiubai is not interested in the adaptation of "Game of Thrones" and "The Undertaker", because he does not think that Gu Xiaofan and their Shanghai Film Group are capable of filming, but he is looking forward to the script of NB's "Outwitting Tiger Mountain".
After finally weighing the pros and cons, Chu Qiubai agreed to Gu Xiaofan's request to buy the right to adapt the novel.
"Okay, Director Gu, I'll leave this matter to you."
At this moment, He Tiejun and Xiao Chen both felt incredible, this was the first time they had seen someone in the group who could have the upper hand in the confrontation with President Chu...... Even a scheming and scheming person like Director Jin was so scheming that he didn't dare to move because of Mr. Chu.
Gu Xiaofan, the little director of production, actually turned a big leader like Chu Qiubai around, this is really ......
As soon as Gu Xiaofan walked out of the office door, he found He Tiejun looking at him in surprise, and couldn't help touching his face and said, "Director He, do you have anything on my face?" ”
"Yes...... There is hair~" He Tiejun couldn't help laughing: "You kid is simply a monkey!" I actually kicked the Jade Emperor's ass, there is you~"
Gu Xiaofan touched his face, and didn't feel anything proud, in terms of means, Chu Qiubai was indeed a few grades higher than him, but he had all kinds of resources in the system, no matter how powerful Chu Qiubai was, he was only a mortal after all......
At this time, in the president's office, the secretary Xiao Chen still scolded angrily:
"This kid is so hateful, Mr. Chu, didn't you see him holding back a smile just now? You shouldn't have promised him. ”
Chu Qiubai's face was full of calmness, he stood up and looked at the contract with the script, and did not speak.
Gu Xiaofan did put him in this time, but in fact, from the overall situation, the group got a huge boost.
Black Feather Studio has a lot of relationship with NB, and it can establish a friendship with this master screenwriter, so what's the point of a few million?
As long as the time is ripe, maybe Shangying can cooperate with this master screenwriter, and that is the most important thing.
Chu Qiubai couldn't help but sigh in his heart, Qi Changhe~ Qi Changhe~ What is the origin of this student, why can't even I figure out his bottom?
The aura that shrouded Gu Xiaofan's body seemed to be getting more and more......
Of course, Chu Qiubai didn't know that Gu Xiaofan was so good as he bragged about, he took the funds back, contacted all parties, asked for lobbying companies, and asked for help from others, begging grandpa to sue grandma everywhere, and finally only won the adaptation rights of several novels such as "Menna Coffin Husband's Diary" and "Lin Hai Xueyuan".
But in terms of "A Song of Ice and Fire", George Martin insisted that he go to the United States to negotiate in person and talk about the adaptation of the series in detail, and he also insisted on raising the offer to $3 million......
This made Gu Xiaofan can only drag it in embarrassment, there is no way, Mr. Qiao is a world-class literary giant, and his status in the foreign literary world is even more awesome than Jin Yong~ What Hugo Award, Nebula Award and various international awards have been soft, and the screenwriter's animation "Beauty and the Beast" also won the Oscar.
Although he, a master pseudo-screenwriter, is famous, and it is okay to fool a writer in little Japan, but compared with Old Man Qiao, it is only enough to lift shoes with others......
It seems that for the time being, he can't buy "Game of Thrones", so he can only spend money to hire a lobbying company to negotiate conditions, as long as Mr. Qiao doesn't sell the adaptation rights, this matter has always been easy to discuss.
At the same time, with the development of the danmaku network, the network load is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more bugs, but the group has no extra funds to approve the installation of servers, which makes the art factory very anxious.
Gu Xiaofan was not in a hurry, he knew that the living would not suffocate urine, Chu Qiubai must have a way.
It's useless for him to be anxious now, if he wants to raise funds to shoot "Chinese Partner", the funds will be at least tens of millions, and it is not enough to rely on online entertainment such as online dramas, he must wait for the scale of the barrage online to have a way to make this money with other projects.
Otherwise, this server crashes n times a day, and advertisers will invest in you......
Soon, things ushered in a turning point, and the annual "Central China Business and Cultural Exchange Conference" held in Jiangcheng was about to begin.
The content of this business cultural exchange meeting is also very simple, on the one hand, various film and television companies want to attract investment from various business tycoons, and various business tycoons also want to have a good relationship with the producer, so as to expand their influence in the future in the way of cooperation.
To put it bluntly, it is a communication platform for mutual benefit between the two parties.
In previous years, this exchange meeting was the stage of large production companies such as Huayi Brothers, New Picture, China Film, etc., and it had nothing to do with Shangying.
This is also because Shanghai Film Group has not produced good works for many years, and it has not had much influence, and the merchants do not want to see them at all.
But this time, the barrage network was a blockbuster, so that Shangying also had the qualification to play this commercial game.
Therefore, the number of representatives sent out by Shanghai Film this time is unprecedented, and under the order of President Chu, all the elites of the four major film studios under the group were dispatched, and Gu Xiaofan was naturally no exception, taking a group of personnel from Black Feather Studio to the "Chinese Chinese Business and Cultural Exchange Conference".
They had only one purpose for this trip, to find new investments from the exchange meeting and increase the servers of the danmaku.com.
The group took a plane directly to Jiangcheng and stayed in the hotel.
In the morning, Gu Xiaofan was still asleep.
Whoa, there's a knock on the door.
"Gu Xiaoqing, open the door~"
"You're still sleeping, you're about to get up~"
Gu Xiaofan was woken up by these two pleasant voices, and as soon as he heard it, he knew that it was his two unconscious roommates, "Come on, come on" panting in his clothes and opening the door.
As soon as Liu Shishi and Lou Yixiao came in, they smelled the fragrant wind.
As soon as Lou Yixiao came in, she was a little embarrassed and said, "Gu Xiaofan, I didn't come to quarrel with you early in the morning, I was dragged up by Sister Shi." ”
Liu Shishi's clear face was full of smiles, and she put her arms around Gu Xiaofan's shoulder:
"Gu Xiaoqing, there is going to be an exchange meeting soon, we are the two factory flowers of Shangying, but we don't have any line, let's go buy a few new clothes today."
"Shop for clothes...... I don't have to. "Gu Xiaofan, a big man, doesn't like this kind of shopping activity
