"Then it's time for us to get down to business." Alex looked at Huo Que with a smile, there was no longer the strictness in his eyes, and at this moment, Huo Que saw only the merchant's philistine in his eyes.

Huo Que relaxed, at least proving that his movie had entered Alex's eyes, which means that Lionsgate was willing to buy the movie.

Alex is indeed a smart person, under normal circumstances, when a businessman bids for something, no matter how much he desires in his heart, he will suppress his thoughts in case the other party asks for a sky-high price, but Alex did not do this, but directly, in less than a minute after watching the movie, he immediately expressed his idea of wanting to buy Huo Que's movie, and the advantage of this approach is that the person concerned is unprepared.

If the person sitting next to Alex today was the same Huo Que or other young people who didn't have much social experience, maybe it would really make him feel at a loss, but this Huo Que is a person who has lived in two lives and has died once, he is as calm as a shopping mall veteran, looked at Alex with a smile, and said softly: "It seems that my work has passed." ”

Alex's surprise in his eyes flashed, and he nodded: "Yes, on behalf of Lionsgate, I solemnly tell you that we are willing to buy this movie, you can offer your price, and then we will see if it is within our acceptable range." If you don't have the bottom in your mind, then we will make a price, please don't think that it is a cheesy thing to buy and sell your work, it is actually the best way to prove how good your work is. ”

Huo Que pondered for a while, he had more admiration for Alex, this is indeed an old fox, as a buyer with absolute initiative, many people will not give the opportunity to the seller to open the price, but he is willing to give this opportunity, not that he is generous, nor that he is stupid, but that he is too calculating.

He felt that at Huo Que's age, he was definitely a stunned young man who had just come out of society, and he definitely didn't have much concept of money. Coupled with his knowledge of his first work, the price offered will definitely be smaller than the price in his heart.

But he miscalculated, because this person was really different from everyone else.

Huo Que looked around, but in his heart he was thinking about how to maximize his interests, and after a few seconds, Huo Que said jokingly: "Dear Mr. Alex, although I have a special affection for the theater, I think it is indeed a little inappropriate to talk about business in this place, and I also want to taste your company's coffee." ”

Alex frowned slightly, he never thought that Huo Que would be such a calm person, which was completely beyond his cognition of young people who had just entered society. Of course he knew that Huo Que was not for coffee, nor for the environment, he wanted the initiative, he was a little hesitant, whether to give Huo Que the opportunity to grasp the initiative, to be honest, he didn't like to be passive, over the years, he had talked about countless movie acquisitions, and he had never met Huo Que who was a step-by-step person, he smiled bitterly, and regretted his carelessness just now.

"Of course, let's go to the negotiation room." Alex got up and said with a smile, "To be honest, I don't like that place, it's too depressing. ”

"I don't like to be depressed either." Jiang Yunfan showed a silly expression and said, "I hope that the atmosphere of our chat can dilute the depression in the negotiation room." ”

Alex glanced at Huo Que with a little meaning, smiled and nodded.

The so-called negotiation room is actually a place specially used for negotiations, of course, there is a tea room for making coffee or even drinking tea, the decoration is that kind of ancient European style, perhaps to match the design style, the overall color is a little dark, it does seem a little depressing, of course, repression also represents Yan sù.

"Mr. Alex, do you like tea?" Huo Que suddenly asked.

Alex was slightly stunned, then nodded: "I like it very much, I like the fragrance and slightly bitter taste...... You are a Chinese immigrant, so you should be familiar with the tea ceremony, right? ”

Huo Que walked over to the standard tea vessel and sat down: "Then ask Mr. Alex to taste the tea I brewed once." ”

He grew up smelling the smell of tea, and under the tutelage of his grandfather, who regarded tea as his life, making tea was a matter of hand, so he was so confident.

When Alex sat next to Huo Que, he was unprecedentedly uneasy, because he knew that the moment they walked into the negotiation room together, Huo Que had already grasped the absolute initiative.

The water boiled, Huo Que was like an old man with fairy wind bones on a mountain full of aura, he behaved elegantly to wash tea sets, wash tea, and pour water...... Every movement was so slow, as calm as his state of mind.

The old and sturdy Alex could certainly see this, so he couldn't sit still.

"I can see that you are a master of making tea." Alex organized his words and continued: "Well, just like your movie, it is the subtleties that can taste good. ”

Huo Que's movements in his hands did not stop, and he replied: "It's over, the tea ceremony is like life, only boiling water can make fragrant tea, this is a proverb in my hometown." ”

"This little fox has turned the topic around the tea ceremony again." Alex cursed in his heart.

The conversation between the two at this time is like a duel, and whoever wins and loses depends on who can calm down.

The tea was finally brewed, and Huo Que handed Alex a cup with both hands: "Please comment." ”

Smelling the smell of tea that he had never brewed, Alex put the tea to his mouth and took a sip gently, it tasted good, but his mind was completely lost in the tea ceremony.

"Mr. Huo, do you think your movie will be a hit?" Alex asked cautiously.

"You're a professional, you should be able to tell if he's going to be a hot seller." Jiang Yunfan replied.

Alex pondered for a moment and said: "The only way this movie can win, that is the novelty, the novelty of the plot and the novelty of the creativity, this is one of the most innovative movies I have seen in many years, but the audience of this movie is not large, but if we can do a good marketing, I think it will not be bad." ”

Huo Que nodded in agreement: "This movie is defined by me as a science fiction film, what do you think?" ”

Alex's eyes flashed, as if he had suddenly discovered something, and then a smile gradually appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I have always regarded this movie as a feature film, and you reminded me so much, I suddenly thought of an idea." ”

There is no doubt about the ability of a character like Alex, Huo Que certainly believes that he can do an excellent job of packaging "This Man is from Earth", which is not something he should consider, what he should consider now is how much money he can make on this movie.

"Mr. Alex, you praised me so well for this movie, can I ask for a lot of money?" Huo Que quipped.

"Everything has its value, and of course things with high value are not afraid of being asked for by others." Alex replied with a smile. For Huo Que, a cheerful and honest young man, he still admires him very much, not only for his movies, but also for his way of being in the world.

"Bang Bang ......"

At this moment, there was a knock on the door in the negotiation room.

"Please come in." Alex shouted.

The door opened, and a young man in a suit walked up to Alex, he held a copy of Wen Jiàn in his hand, and said something in Alex's ear, and handed Wen Jiàn to Alex.

Alex gave a quick glance at the text, and then his brow began to furrow.

Huo Que observed his expression, but found that the young man was staring at him with curiosity, Huo Que smiled back, but felt that the young man's eyes contained a lot of things.

Alex handed the text to the young man, with a hint of anger on his face, and he said softly: "Now I don't have time, I'll look at this text when I'm done with business." ”

"Director......" The young man took the text. In his heart, he seemed a little puzzled, he had been following Alex for five or six years, and knew that his reading speed was extremely fast, although he seemed to have just glanced at the text just now, he knew that Alex had read all the contents.

The young man glanced at Huo Que with deep meaning, and then walked out of the negotiation room with Wen Jiàn.

This little episode obviously affected Alex's mood, he looked at Huo Que and said directly: "The guaranteed buyout of three million US dollars, five percent after the company's box office commission worldwide, are you satisfied with this price?" Young man, in fact, I was going to buy your movie for half a million dollars at first. But now it's obviously not possible, because not only do you have a lot of talent in movies, but you're also a good businessman. ”

This price is not satisfied, but very satisfied, you must know that the director who has both guaranteed remuneration and box office dividends is by no means comparable to today's Huo Que, but Huo Que only got it with the first movie, I have to say that he is lucky.

Does Huo Que have anything else to say?

"I think we'll have a great time working together." Huo Que poured himself a cup of tea and said to Alex.

Alex also raised the teacup, but he didn't clink the cup for Huo Que, a moment of treachery flashed on his face, and he smiled: "Actually, under such tempting conditions, I have additional conditions." ”

Huo Que became vigilant and took back the teacup: "Please speak." ”

"You're going to have to sign us at least one more film contract."
