The atmosphere in the banquet hall was warm, and Warner's senior management came one after another. Hu Yifei originally wanted to know a few people, but then he found that he was not good at this kind of banquet communication at all, and he was even more reluctant to shoot so-and-so's sycophants and hug his thighs to get acquainted. His boring self-esteem made him an invisible man, so he simply didn't think about anything and enjoyed his first party in the United States with peace of mind.

"Aren't you used to parties in the United States?" Erica came over again, but it alleviated Hu Yifei's loneliness.

Hu Yifei raised his glass, "No, I enjoy it now." The kind of scene where not a lot of people are paying attention to me all the time...... This suits me perfectly. ”

Erica thought, "It seems that you must have a lot of fans in Asia, and you are watched all the time. ”

Hu Yifei shrugged his shoulders and admitted directly, "So it's better for you to know more about me and then make a decision." ”

"Well, anyway, we're acquainted." Erica is not stubborn, after all, William Morris is also one of the giant brokerage companies in the United States, she toasted Hu Yifei and said, "Can you tell me about your plan, the acquisition of the company?" ”

"Of course."

Hu Yifei is happy to talk about this, "I need to buy an American film company, and having animation production capabilities is basic, because it is related to my future plans. But it didn't matter because there was a movie that needed a lot of special effects, and I wanted to have my own special effects department. ”

Erica came interested, "How much investment?" ”

Hu Yifei's lips curled slightly, "No less than fifty million." ”

Erica paused slightly, "RMB...... Or dollars? ”

"What do you say?" Hu Yifei seemed to be smiling.

"Oh~!" Erica was really a little surprised this time, "This is really not a small production. If the film has multiple investors, it needs a company; If you're the only investor in the film, you still need a company. I don't know what psychology she had, she began to seriously analyze Hu Yifei: "First of all, to make a movie with 50 million yuan, you definitely want to release it in the United States, if you enter as a foreign capital, the profit will be very small." I suggest that you split a portion of your investment, at least have a share of the investment in the US company, so that you don't get a big cut of the issuing company. ”

Hu Yifei nodded and said, "Very good advice." ”

Tilting his head slightly, he signaled that he was listening.

"You have your own company and team, and I don't need to introduce you to the co-ordination, finance, crew, etc. But if you're looking for an American actor, I think you'll still need an American agency. It's a good idea to buy a company, at least not from scratch. Los Angeles has never had a shortage of film companies on the verge of bankruptcy waiting to be pumped in, with companies forming and companies closing every day. But the reason for the collapse of these companies, most of the time, is simply to invest in a movie that failed at the box office, resulting in serious losses for the company; Sometimes they don't even invest, just because they don't have the funds to maintain it, and there is no problem with the inner workings of these companies. You find a company with no debt and inject capital, which is much more convenient than setting up a new company. ”

Hu Yifei nodded, a very pertinent proposal, but Erica didn't leave to promote herself, so she could only make him smile bitterly.

“…… It's not easy to find a financially healthy company that meets your needs, and you still need a U.S.-based brokerage to serve you. If you can find an American producer, things will go even better. Trust me, making a movie in the U.S. and making a movie in China are definitely two different things. I don't think you want to find a big producer with a lot of power, then you need to be professional, experienced, and not well-known, then we can still help. ”

Hu Yifei was noncommittal, "Okay, maybe we can try to cooperate." Help me get this done, and I'll pay you. ”

Erica smiled and said, "It's not impossible for me to take over the work outside the company alone." But my offer is not low. ”

Hu Yifei didn't raise his eyelids, "Whatever you offer." ”

But he still didn't show any motivation and wanted to sign a contract with her.

Erica laughed, "Well, I'm kind of convinced that you're more difficult to do now, but I want to sign you under my banner more." Maybe at the beginning, she just regarded Hu Yifei as an ordinary potential stock, and now she has to treat it squarely.

"Hello, are you Hu, the author of "The Twilight Zone"." Suddenly a voice came from behind, and the two of them turned their heads at the same time, and then they saw Hermione, one of the protagonists of today's banquet...... Oh no, Emma Watson was standing behind him.

"If you're asking about the great writer who wrote the book that has been on the New York Times bestseller list for three weeks in a row......" Hu Yifei hooked the corners of his mouth, "That's right, it's me!" ”

"Ha, you're not modest."

Emma pursed her lips and smiled, stretched out her hand and said, "My name is Emma Watson." Call me Emma, it's nice to meet you great writer, I'm your book lover. ”

Hu Yifei grabbed the front of her palm, let go with a slight grip, and said, "My name is Hu Yifei." I don't have an English name yet, I'm worried about whether to give one, but my friends have recommended me several, such as luck/?magica/handsome/genius and the like, I always think it's too different, they must be playing tricks on me, so you still call me 'Hu'. Nice to meet you too. ”

Emma was a little dazed, "Lucky, magical, handsome, genius" Oh my God, if someone has a name like that, it really ...... It's magical. She suddenly found that this Chinese was very humorous and really handsome when she smiled, "I like your "Twilight very much", I can't believe that the author who wrote this book is actually a man." ”

Behind him, Erica gently patted Hu Yifei's shoulder and said, "I'll leave first, don't disturb you, and then I'll contact you." ”

Hu Yifei said: "OK." ”

Erica smiled at Emma Watson again, "Have a nice chat." "Turn and leave.

Emma Watson watched her leave and asked, "That seems to be the manager of William Morris, are you friends?" ”

"Sort of, we just met today. She wanted to sign me, but I didn't. Hu Yifei didn't want to talk to her about this, so he changed the topic and said: "Let's go back to the question just now, do you think the author is not a man, so what do you think is the image of the author first?" ”

Emma was quickly distracted and said with a smile: "I thought the author would be a little girl who must have been locked up in the attic every day waiting for the prince to save herself." Or a girl who has just moved to a foreign country, and all her good friends and classmates have left her, so she expects a tall and handsome guy to like herself like crazy. In short, the author should be a dreamy and talented girl, and she must be very fond of reading books and fantasies...... Yes, exactly. ”

Hu Yifei had a black line, isn't she fantasizing about her appearance, "Now that you know that the author is not a fantasy girl but a strong man with a height of eight feet and three inches, will you be disappointed?" ”

"No, I knew it early on. Those are just imaginations. Maybe you're actually writing about Edward in the book, and Bella is just the girl of your dreams. Emma looked up at him carefully and said, "Suddenly I found that in addition to not being white, you are quite similar to the image of Edward in the book." (To be continued.) )
