115 Kung Fu Emperor
Because one of the tasks that Chen Xueqian gave to the studio before was to follow up the progress of his two scripts, Chen Xueqian easily found the crew he was about to enter in the company's car. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
However, when he really saw this so-called crew, he realized why he had been unsure.
And the employee who sent Chen Xueqian here couldn't help but change his face when he saw the situation of the crew.
The crew that appeared in front of them at this time was in quite simple condition, especially what made Chen Xueqian frown was that the equipment on the scene, even Chen Xueqian, a half-layman, could see a sense of cheapness.
For all this in front of him, Chen Xueqian felt a kind of anger in his heart that he had been deceived. However, he didn't understand why Warners was doing this.
It is said that his script can be said to be quite wonderful, and as one of the largest companies in the industry, Warner naturally cannot see the potential of this script. This is also the reason why Chen Xueqian was able to sit on the ground and start the price at the beginning.
However, looking at the other party's attitude at this time did not look like he was optimistic about the script at all, Chen Xueqian couldn't help but be confused about this, but he expected that there must be something going on in this episode that he didn't know for the time being.
It's just that no matter what happens, he can't tolerate Warner's deception of him. It is conceivable that if he hadn't come to see the crew first, then when he started to invest in this drama, he would have been unable to help himself.
Chen Xueqian glanced at his subordinates with extremely ugly faces and asked, "Can you explain what is going on?" ”
When this subordinate heard this, he also said with a look of wrongedness. "That's not what they were when they first came here."
Hearing the other party's words, Chen Xueqian's brows couldn't help frowning even tighter.
Seeing Chen Xueqian's appearance, the subordinate hurriedly continued to explain: "When the crew first came to Los Angeles, we would come over every day to check. However, they later negotiated with us that we would distract them and not be conducive to their work. Considering that everything was normal with the crew at that time, we didn't come over more often. ”
Chen Xueqian listened to this, and immediately felt that there seemed to be a long-planned scam hidden in it from the beginning.
So what exactly do you have to deceive Warner? Chen Xueqian was puzzled by this.
Chen Xueqian did not come forward to negotiate with the crew on the spot, but sat and returned to the company again.
Chen Xueqian, who was contemplating his eyebrows, suddenly figured out the reason when he saw the contract he signed with Warner.
When Chen Xueqian signed the contract with Warner, in order to prevent Warner from seeing his own profits later, he attached an extremely harsh clause to the end of the contract.
Once one of the parties terminates the contract without cause, then the defaulting party will pay 25% of the investment to the other party.
Multiply that number by the huge investment in a movie, and that's a very large number. The other party has the intention to break the contract and does not want to pay liquidated damages. Therefore, I can only find a way to let myself give up the contract on my own initiative.
It is estimated that the other party's plan is to let themselves inject money into the film, and then they are always passive and slacking off. At that time, if Chen Xueqian's funds can't hold up and he takes the initiative to default, it will naturally be better.
If Chen Xueqian sues the other party for breach of contract for this matter, I am afraid that the other party will already have an explanation.
Thinking of this, Chen Xueqian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, but what made Chen Xueqian most puzzled was why Warner suddenly gave up his movie.
Chen Xueqian has never figured out this problem, his investment in this movie is not high, and the script is not bad, so what reason does he have to give up?
After thinking about it for a while, Chen Xueqian really couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about this problem. In the afternoon, Chen Xueqian flew directly to New York. Here, Warner's thought the top brass had been waiting for him for a long time.
When Chen Xueqian first saw the little old man who contacted him during this time, he immediately felt that this would not be a good person. However, Chen Xueqian didn't plan to get along with him well. He came this time to ask the teacher for guilt!
Chen Xueqian said in an indifferent tone to the old man named Joseph: "Mr. Joseph, in fact, I have a question this time. ”
Joseph also faintly felt that Chen Xueqian was not good, and suddenly the last bit of hypocritical smile on his face disappeared, looked at Chen Xueqian and asked, "What do you want to say?" ”
Chen Xueqian didn't talk nonsense, and directly threw a stack of photos in front of the other party.
When the old man saw a completely dilapidated crew in the stack of photos, and looked at those old machines, he already recognized the crew he was sending to make a film with Chen Xueqian.
For Chen Xueqian's. Questioned face to face, but the old man didn't care.
"In our company, more than 30 million movies in the company on this equipment!"
Hearing Joseph's words, I couldn't help but be stunned.
It turns out that the other party is waiting for him here, no wonder he made such a crew.
Chen Xueqian looked at the other party as if he was sure of himself, Chen Xueqian raised his eyebrows, "Are you trying to force me to breach the contract?" ”
"No, no, no!" Joseph shook his head. "We're not going to do that kind of thing!"
Looking at the other party's completely hypocritical appearance, Chen Xueqian knew that this matter would not be able to be negotiated today.
Chen Xueqian stopped talking nonsense with him and got up and left.
When Chen Xueqian walked out of Warner, his heart was still full of confusion. He still couldn't figure out what Warner was doing this.
Not far from the Warner company, he suddenly saw a somewhat familiar figure flashing in front of him.
Chen Xueqian, who was in a foreign country, found that there might be an acquaintance of his own here, and couldn't help but turn his head to look over.
When he saw clearly the person who had just passed by him, he couldn't help but be stunned. At the same time, I also understood why I felt familiar to the other party, because he grew up watching his movies since he was a child.
The other party is Li Lianjie, who is known as the emperor of kung fu.
Chen Xueqian has always seen each other on TV or screen, but he didn't expect to pass by each other today.
Just the moment he saw the other party, Chen Xueqian suddenly remembered that Li Lianjie made a movie for Warner this year.
Thinking of this, he immediately thought of several movies produced by Warner Bros. this year.
"Hacker Empire 2", "The Last Samurai", "Terminator 3"
Each of these masterpieces, which alone has a great name in later generations, actually came from Warner Bros. this year.
Thinking of this, Chen Xueqian suddenly figured out the real purpose of the other party's doing.
The moment he figured it out, he couldn't help but grow his mouth at the same time, and he was stunned for a while.
Perhaps the other party's original purpose was not to tear up the contract by itself, but to delay time. (To be continued.) )
