Li Xiaole's on-the-spot refusal made the atmosphere of this negotiation suddenly tense, Todd Hardy frowned slightly, and there was a slight surprise in his heart, the reason why he offered this condition was after careful consideration.

He completely took Li Xiaole himself as the starting point and gave the most generous conditions, which he believed that according to Li Xiaole's current position, these conditions could never be refused.

Open the support of theaters across the United States, and give the copyright of the Avengers to Li Xiaole for use...... These conditions should be coveted by Black Pearl, and if it weren't for this strike, Todd Hardy would not have been able to make such concessions even if Life of Pi was a huge success.

In Todd Hardy's expectations, even if Li Xiaole wants to bargain, he can definitely be confident that Li Xiaole will accept it in the end...... But now Li Xiaole not only refused, but also didn't think about it, without hesitation, which is what surprised Todd Hardy, because this means that the conditions he offered are not what Li Xiaole wants.

"Let's go, I don't think there's anything to talk about." After Li Xiaole finished speaking calmly, he got up and wanted to leave, but Tom Cruise and Lei Dongshi were so frightened that they hurriedly blocked the door.

"Li~~~ Don't get excited, if you are not satisfied, we will talk about it later~~!" Tom Cruise's forehead was sweating, and Lei Dongshi was also nervously holding on to the position of the doorknob, what are you kidding!? If this negotiation breaks down, it will not be a certain company that is unlucky, and the whole of Hollywood will be paralyzed~!

Instead, Canon vented his anger next to him and shouted: "Let him go, this kid is not sincere at all~!" Cork also had a good look on his face, and Todd Hardy and Lei Dongshi were a little dissatisfied.

Of course, Li Xiaole does not really plan to leave, he just shows an attitude, he doesn't care whether this contract is negotiated or not, Lao Tzu is a Chinese ~ There is the world's second largest film market, even if Hollywood collapses, Lao Tzu can still return to China to make movies~!

From the moment he entered the door, Todd Hardy has been in control of the initiative of the negotiation, and has bypassed everyone, and those opposing contradictions have been skillfully resolved by Todd Hardy with various techniques, and he seems to have become a mediator who is beyond the opposition between the two sides, and the posture of a good old man maneuvers between the two sides, so that the people on both sides submit to him.

If it goes on like this, the result must be decided according to the other party's imagination, of course Li Xiaole can't let him get his wish, he gets up to leave, it is to break this situation, and now Canon and Coke are watching the show, and finally let the discord between Todd Hardy, Lei Dongshi and Cork, and Canon appear.

Todd Hardy's first frown finally made him no longer a detached person in this negotiation, but a participant, Li Xiaole looked at it and thought, damn it~ Serve me with me, can you handle those leaders of the Film Bureau......?

"Well, Mr. Hardy, since you don't want me to go, may I give my opinion?" Li Xiaole just stood and looked at everyone in the room, and Todd Hardy stretched out his hand and smiled: "Of course." ”

"Mr. Hardy, I just said that our strike was a loss of 2.7 billion in the big leagues, right?" Li Xiaole asked in a deep voice.

"yes...... This strike is a great loss for both of us. Todd Hardy sighed.

"Then let me ask you, why don't you agree to all our conditions? Why didn't you agree to raise the treatment of the three major trade unions? Could it be that if you meet the demands of the three major unions, will your grand alliance go bankrupt? Your annual revenue of more than 10 billion US dollars is less than 4 percent, can you not survive? Li Xiaole looked at Todd Hardy and asked coldly:

"So why did our strike take a toll of $27, not your big leagues in order to keep that little bit of interest~?"

When Li Xiaole heard him say just now, he was holding back a breath of anger, the development of Hollywood depends on you capitalists, those actors, directors, and screenwriters deserve to be squeezed by you!?

Todd Hardy was stunned, and suddenly couldn't say a word, first, he didn't expect his attitude to be so tough to question, and second, he suddenly realized that Li Xiaole's position was different from his own......

Although he is also the boss of the interests of the Hollywood group, Li Xiaole is completely different from what he thinks, and Li Xiaole completed the strike from the perspective of a simple filmmaker.

"Open the theater chain and give us back the production rights? What are these negotiation conditions~~? The more Li Xiaole spoke, the more angry he became, his voice became louder, and he rolled his eyes at Todd Hardy:

"These are supposed to mean that all filmmakers should have equal rights, and you give me back these things that I deserve, and then let me sell the interests of the three major unions, who do you think of me? Do you think I'm a shameless guy like them!? As he spoke, Li Xiaole stretched out his hand and pointed at Canon and Cork.

"What the fuck are you talking about~!" Canon was so angry that he was just about to get up from the bench, when he saw Li Xiaole raise his hand and pick up the Parker pen used by Hardy on the table, throw it over, "bang", the pen was nailed to the bench like an arrow through Canon's sleeve, the broken half of the pen was still shaking, and the ink shook Canon's face.

Tom Cruise also came over and pressed Canon's shoulders with both hands, motioning for him not to move.

Li Xiaole shocked everyone and scared everyone stupid, and Mrs. Hardy outside the door couldn't help knocking on the door when she heard the movement and asked, "What's wrong Todd?" Need me to come in? ”

"No, honey, we're talking about things." Todd Hardy immediately calmed down, regained his smile, and gently comforted his wife outside the door, before getting up and walking over, pulling out the pen stuck in Canon's bench, patting him on the shoulder and humorously:

"Canon, didn't I tell you, Chinese know martial arts, you believe it now."

Seeing that everyone's nervousness had eased, Todd Hardy echoed and smiled at Li Xiaole with a gentle smile: "Director Li, you are right, this strike is indeed the responsibility of both of us, what I said just now was my gaffe, and I apologize to you." ”

Todd Hardy's apology was very sincere, which made people deeply feel his sincerity from the heart, which made Li Xiaole's awe-inspiring momentum of righteousness just now disappear a lot.

"Mr. Hardy, I'll be honest with you." Li Xiaole also relaxed a little and said:

"Maybe in your mind, you have been running this so-called big league in Hollywood for decades, creating the best for-profit industry, and you think that the reason why American movies have the current scale is inseparable from the transformation of your Wall Street capital after it began to enter in the 70s......"

"Isn't it?" Todd Hardy smiled and asked:

"Before the establishment of the major leagues, although Hollywood movies sold well all over the world, the value of the global film industry was not even one-tenth of what it is now, it was we, the copper-smelling businessmen who were disgusted by the filmmakers, who built this glorious stage, so that actors and directors could stand in front of the people of the whole world, enjoy the glory, and get the greatest economic returns, before the 70s, who would believe that a live Oscar broadcast income could exceed the annual film revenue of that year?"

Those filmmakers who only know how to engage in art every day and want to show off their cameras, those luxury cinemas, audio, and even the most advanced lenses, films, and digital synthesis technologies developed by technology companies are all built by the integration of capital resources and resources.

"Mr. Hardy, you're right, without you people who have the power of capital, a popular entertainment project like a movie is really not bullshit~" Li Xiaole also nodded, but asked again: "But have you thought about it, it is you capital that restricts the development of the entire industry, look at MGM, such a good film studio, has been spoiled by those idiots?" For what? Because the purpose of capitalists is to make money, they feel that they don't make more money from making movies than from reselling companies? So why do they choose to make troublesome movies?

They idiots don't think that Warner has made more than a billion dollars a year on movies, while MGM has only made 500 million in 20 years!? And that's just the profit of a movie after I bought Luen Mei.

What's even more ridiculous is that in order to be afraid of hurting the monopoly interests of your capital, the six major Black Pearl companies that are afraid of normal market competition and desperately suppress them, what benefits do you get in the end? The movies that should be finished will still be finished, and the wonderful movies are still sweeping the market. ”

Li Xiaole couldn't help but look at them and sneered: "I think you never thought that this movie would be a big success before the release of "Youth Pi", right? Do you think I'm crazy to invest $300 million? When you invested 2.5 billion in "Titanic", you also thought James Cameron was crazy~ But what was the result? Yes~You have lost your eyes~~~ This movie does not conform to your so-called market analysis at all, but he is in the market, because a movie is a movie, not a hamburger coke, and you can conquer the global market by selling the same flavor every day. ”

Li Xiaole's expression suddenly became serious, and he said word by word: "It is not the market that determines the direction of the movie~ but the good movie to create the market~~!! ”

Speaking of this, he turned his head to look at Cork, Canon, and Lei Dongshi and said in a deep voice:

"These capitalists always think that they are the bosses and should dominate everything, and their stupidity lies in the fact that they never understand that in this field, directors, screenwriters, and actors are the creators here, not you capitalists~

Before that, how many works like "Life of Pi" that were considered to have no market prospects were suppressed? How many more creative studios like Black Pearl have been swallowed up and turned into a rigid product of industrialization? ”

Li Xiaole said here, looking directly into Todd Hardy's eyes:

"Mr. Hardy, I would like to ask you, do you think that under the so-called global blockbuster strategy led by you after the 80s, in addition to the technology, the essence of the film has been progressing or regressing in the past 20 years, except for the technology?"
