Chapter 986: Suspicious Formation

"Actually, I should also thank Mr. Lin, it is precisely because of your refusal that I have the opportunity to get my current position!" Deng Wendi said with feeling.

In the competition for Lin Youlun's assistant more than three months ago, Deng Wendi lost to Lin Zhiling, but on the plane back to the United States from Hong Kong, she happened to sit next to Bruce Beal, the director of Murdoch News Corporation, at that time, the gentleman who served as the deputy CEO of StarTV was preparing to return to the United States to serve as the president of 20th Century Fox.

This time, Deng Wendi came to Hasbro on behalf of 20th Century Fox to negotiate with Hasbro for the film adaptation rights of the animated film "Transformers".

Deng Wendi did not hide her intentions from Lin Youlun, because she knew that even if she didn't say it, Hasbro would tell Lin Youlun about it later.

"I didn't expect to meet again and we would already become competitors!" Lin Youlun smiled self-deprecatingly, and said goodbye when he shook hands with Deng Wendi: "I look forward to Miss Deng bringing me more surprises!" ”

Deng Wendi was obviously stunned for a moment, from the arrangement of Hasbro, she also vaguely guessed Lin Youlun's intention, but she didn't expect Lin Youlun to say it so directly.

This can be understood as Lin Youlun's frankness, and of course it can also be seen as a kind of self-confidence.

Since Lin Youlun is willing to tell Deng Wendi about this matter generously, it is obvious that he is full of confidence in winning the copyright of the "Transformers" movie, but where does his confidence come from. But it has become a difficult puzzle in Deng Wendi's heart.

Lin Youlun, accompanied by the vice president of Hasbro, advanced the building. Lin Zhiling was about to go in with him. Unexpectedly, Deng Wendi suddenly stopped her.

"Miss Lin, although you won last time, I will use my actions to let Mr. Lin know that he made a very serious and outrageous mistake at that time!"

Deng Wendi's words were very provocative, and Lin Zhiling was indeed a little uneasy at the beginning, but she soon figured it out.

"When Miss Deng does this, come and show it off to me!"

Dropping such a sentence, Lin Zhiling turned around and entered the building.

Deng Wendi looked at Lin Zhiling's back. She secretly swore in her heart that one day, she would make all those who had despised her regret it.

——

Lin Zhiling hurriedly walked into the building, only to find that Lin Youlun and his party were waiting for her in front of the elevator door.

"I thought you would talk a little longer, but I didn't expect it to end so soon, it seems that you are not very compatible!" When he walked into the elevator, Lin Youlun whispered a teaser in Lin Zhiling's ear.

Lin Zhiling turned her head and asked rhetorically, "Do you want me to talk to her for a while?" ”

"Of course, so that you can get more information from her by the way, so much that 20th Century Fox is going to bid for the movie rights to "Transformers."

Lin Youlun had a natural expression on his face. Lin Zhiling was angry about herself, a "rogue" boss. She was a little speechless.

Fortunately, the two used Chinese to talk, otherwise such a little space in the elevator room, no matter how whispered they were, they would be listened to by the people next to them.

The vice president of Hasbro was indeed very interested in the conversation between Lin Youlun and Lin Zhiling at first, but he soon noticed that the tone and demeanor of the two when they spoke was not as serious as that between a normal boss and an assistant, and it looked more like a casual chatter, which made him instantly dispel the idea of figuring out the conversation between Lin Youlun and Lin Zhiling.

On the way out of the elevator to the conference room, Lin Youlun still talked and laughed at Lin Zhiling, and such a move fell in the eyes of the vice president of Hasbro, which made him have new doubts.

Lin Youlun still didn't have any nervousness when he learned that 20th Century Fox was also interested in "Transformers", which in itself is a very abnormal thing.

Either Lin Youlun still has any hole cards that have not been revealed, or Lin Youlun is ready to abandon this negotiation, and in either case, it is not good news for Hasbro.

Facts have proved that the hunch of the vice president of Hasbro is very correct, at the negotiation table, Lin Youlun shook his head and refused almost without hesitation to some cooperation requests put forward by Hasbro, and in some negotiations involving key issues, Lin Youlun was even more tough, almost unwilling to back down at all.

The result of the negotiation was naturally unhappy, and the only thing that made Hasbro feel fortunate was that Lin Youlun did not refuse the next round of negotiations, but the specific date and result of the negotiation, neither side reached any consensus.

When sending Lin Youlun to the car, the vice president of Hasbro, who was in charge of the negotiation, regrettably expressed his apologies to Lin Youlun for failing to achieve cooperation, and at this time, Lin Youlun was finally willing to reveal a little bit of tone to him.

"In fact, the person who is really interested in the copyright of the "Transformers" movie is Spielberg, you also know that he has always been called the most childlike director in the United States, he had the idea of adapting this classic cartoon into a movie a long time ago, but limited by the technical conditions at the time, he has not been able to do so, of course, even now, I think the technical conditions for making "Transformers" into a movie are still immature, not that we can't do it, but the current cost is too expensive...... My suggestion is that Hasbro should not be in too much of a hurry, because in my opinion, there is probably no way to reach a consensus between us in the short term, and I look forward to working with Hasbro for a longer time. ”

Lin Youlun and the vice president of Hasbro hadn't finished chatting yet, and Lin Zhiling came over after answering a phone call.

"Sorry to interrupt your conversation, but we have to go, EA Games is still waiting for us ......to come over," Lin Zhiling said to Lin Youlun, but for some reason, she didn't avoid the vice president of Hasbro, and she used English that the other party might understand.

"Looks like I have to go, I'm really looking forward to seeing each other next time!" Lin Youlun shook hands with the vice president of Hasbro, turned and got into the car.

Lin Zhiling also sat up, and as soon as the car door closed, Lin Youlun cast an approving look at her.

"That play just now was a good one!"

"Why do you want to leak the news of our cooperation with EA to the other side?"

"Who told them to blackmail me with 20th Century Fox? I'm treating others in the way of others, so that they can also be nervous, and I know that our side is not staring at "Transformers", in addition to this movie, we still have a lot of movies to make! ”

In Lin Youlun's opinion, the cooperation between him and EA will be announced sooner or later, and it is not a big deal to let Hasbro know in advance, and he also has the intention of confusing Hasbro in doing so.

20th Century Fox is also interested in the rights to the "Transformers" movie adaptation, but Lin Youlun is not interested in competing with them at a higher price, which will only make Hasbro strong.

Since he couldn't get the copyright of "Transformers" from normal channels, Lin Youlun had to consider using abnormal means, such as buying Hasbro directly.

Before making formal contact with Hasbro's shareholders, Lin Youlun had to try to create a false impression to both Hasbro and 20th Century Fox that they would continue to negotiate, and then have a direct showdown after being almost ready, and the winner would be determined in one game!

What made Lin Youlun a little depressed was that after listening to his entire plan, Lin Zhiling was concerned about an issue that had little to do with this matter.

"Isn't it a game you're working with EA?"

"Games can also be adapted into movies, and the live-action version of The King of Fighters is a good example, and of course there are many examples of successful directions, such as "Resident Evil".

"Resident Evil" in parallel time and space is an existing game, and then it was adapted into a movie, and Lin Youlun did the opposite, first making the movie, and then finding a game company to cooperate to change it into a game, and it turns out that the movie has a much greater role in promoting game sales than the game in promoting the box office of the movie, but most of the revenue from game sales is divided by the game company, and there are not many in Lin Youlun's hands, so this time Lin Youlun decided to get the game out first, He doesn't really care about the money from game sales, the key is to keep the movie adaptation rights of the game in his hands.

"But aren't all boys who like to play games? You make a shooting adventure game with a woman as the main character, are you sure that such a game will be popular? Because that game was made before Lin Zhiling became Lin Youlun's assistant, she didn't know much about the situation, only some general situations.

"It depends on what kind of heroine it is.,Most of today's gamers are tired of the tough guy plus the main point of view shooter-style game.,If you can manipulate a shorts in the game.、Beautiful legs、Hips、Corset、36D big. Bau Beauty, and then venture around the globe like Indiana Jones, this kind of game are you sure people will not like? ”

"I think it's going to divide people, unless you think that the men in the whole world are like you!"

Lin Zhiling gave such an evaluation very unceremoniously, which made Lin Youlun feel a little speechless.

"Maybe you misunderstood me, what I want to emphasize is not how sexy the game characters are, but to say that this kind of game with female protagonists will give people a refreshing feeling, just like those movies with female protagonists."

Lin Zhiling spread her hands, "Okay, actually, I just want to know what the name of this game is?" ”

"Tomb Raider!" (To be continued......)
