Chapter 55: Persistence!

Jerry was a little unhappy, and returned to the sofa opposite the two, looked at Ke Zihua with a smile on his face, and thought, "Is this kid crazy?" Such conditions are not met? Who does he think he is? ”

Ke Zihua had a clear gaze and met Jerry's gaze, he knew that he must not retreat at this time, otherwise he would be defeated.

So, what exactly does Ke Zihua want?

This has to talk about the conversation with John last night, just when Ke Zihua wanted to go home, John pulled him to a place where no one was and asked in a low voice: "Ke, I think you should know that the crew didn't give you enough insurance this time, right?" ”

Ke Zihua nodded and said his thoughts: "I don't have any opinion on this matter, John, I know that if possible, you will buy me enough insurance, and that is enough." ”

John patted him on the shoulder and said to him earnestly, "I'll give you a proposal, but it's up to you to decide exactly what to do." ”

Ke Zihua's face suddenly turned pale, he thought that maybe this was the focus of tonight's conversation, and his expression became solemn: "Please speak." ”

"This time, you must try to change your treatment!"

Ke Zihua still understands some unwritten rules in the industry, but when he thinks of this problem, he feels a headache.

You must know that he spent more than ten years in his previous life, and he didn't enjoy the treatment he deserved, is it okay this time?

It doesn't matter who he's up against, what matters is why he asks the other party to make an exception for him?

Will those who are on high and high be treated equally because of his talent?

They all know what this means, as long as Ke Zihua is made an exception this time, then he must be given the same treatment from now on, which is not a good thing for them.

But John's words strengthened his determination, and he saw John with a straight face, and said sternly: "Look at me, although it is true that I am a director, do you know how long I have struggled and how much I have paid to get this opportunity?" ”

"Ten years! A whole decade! ”

"And, until now, I'm just an ordinary director, they can invest in me, they can give me some independent decision-making power, but they don't let me be completely in charge."

"Do you know what kind of rights I have on this set?"

"I can only be a $2 million master!"

"If Samuel wasn't my old buddy, if Bell wasn't a kid who just debuted, if it weren't for the good reputation I got from my last movie, I wouldn't even get such a right!"

Ke Zihua patted him lightly on the shoulder, he didn't expect this hot-tempered director to have the same pain as him.

At this time, he didn't want to say anything comforting, so he could only accompany John to be silent and mourn for such an identity.

After a long time, John raised his head violently, his eyes burst into a warm light, and said excitedly: "But you definitely can!" What makes you different from us is that you have enough talent to shock them and make them bend their backs for you! ”

"So, child, for your future, I will build yì you fight!"

Ke Zihua nodded heavily, and said in an excited tone: "I will fight for it, although I have no ability to change this status quo, but at least I should protect my own interests." ”

Is he too arrogant? Isn't he afraid of losing this great opportunity?

Not at all!

He just has the courage to challenge the unfair treatment, of course, if he doesn't have enough strength he will lose badly, and now the video in Jerry's hand is his best reliance, with this condition, why don't he fight for himself?

"There are some things that you will never have a chance if you don't fight for them!"

"If you fight for it and work hard, what can you do? The worst price is nothing more than the loss of this opportunity. ”

What's more, although Jerry's movie has a certain influence, it is not the end of the world to lose this opportunity, I believe that as long as their movie is released, Ke Zihua will also be able to attract the attention of major companies

In the end, Jerry's gaze softened, no matter how excessive Ke Zihua's conditions were, he couldn't refuse immediately, because he really wanted to invite Ke Zihua too much.

He absolutely can't bear it, he invested hundreds of millions of dollars in a large system, and he was compared to a small system that didn't invest much!

At the same time, he really values Ke Zihua's talent, and he wants to pull this young man with infinite possibilities under his banner, so that he has the sharpest secret weapon to win the box office.

Jerry has his own unique vision and keen judgment of the future, and he firmly believes that even if special effects will develop rapidly in the future, it will never affect the status of a real action movie.

Compared with those dazzling special effects, he thinks that the audience will be more interested in those real stunts, so getting Ke Zihua is equivalent to getting the most convincing trump card!

Therefore, at this moment, Jerry is very painful, constantly trying to convince himself to agree to his request.

But he couldn't help but think about the whole crew, he was worried that if he agreed to Ke Zihua, then some people in the crew would be dissatisfied with it.

Cage is good to say, even if Ke Zihua is given enough treatment, it will not affect him.

But will director Senna agree? Giving Ke Zihua the right to make his own decisions is equivalent to cutting his flesh with a knife, how could he allow himself to be seized by such an unknown brat!

Seeing that he was silent and did not speak, Ke Zihua explained: "Mr. Jerry, I can understand your dilemma at this time, but I don't think I really want much. ”

"First of all, I only ask for reciprocal treatment, but it doesn't mean that I will ask too much."

"Presidential Suite? Luxury cars? A large number of bodyguards and assistants? And a huge bill? Those don't mean anything to me, I just want to be treated fairly and with enough respect. ”

"I think, at the very least, the crew should buy me enough insurance, do you say?"

Jerry's expression looked a little better at this time, and he smiled slightly at the two people sitting opposite, "Thank you for understanding me, if that's all it takes, then we can talk calmly." ”

In fact, if these conditions are removed, it will make it much easier for him, although it will cost a little more, but compared with the above conditions, it is indeed very reasonable.

Then Jerry spread his hands and said helplessly: "However, you are still just a child who needs to bring a guardian to negotiate." ”

"Although I very much agree with your ability, it is so unconvincing that I don't even know how to convince my partner."

Ke Zihua explained sincerely: "I think you have misunderstood, I don't want to take away the director's rights. ”

"As it is now, John and I have enjoyed working together."

"He allowed me to change the script as I wanted, and he didn't hesitate to use his power to support me in shooting the scenes I wanted."

"That's enough, what more could I want?"

"Although it is because of his support and appreciation for me, I really respect him from the bottom of my heart. In fact, everything I did was to make our film well, and that's it. ”

Jerry nodded, thinking that if it was just that, maybe Senna would agree.

Ke Zihua continued: "But you know, I can't guarantee that all directors will value me as much as John and support me unreservedly. ”

"Jerry, you know that in fact many directors are like this, not only will they be called by big-name stars in the crew, but they will even be taken away from the final editing rights."

"And I, I don't want that!"

Jerry agrees that this has been the case for a long time, because big-name stars are often the guarantee of the box office, so it is inevitable that there will be something to do.

But as far as this film is concerned, Jerry believes that his good friend Cage is absolutely dedicated, and he will not do such a stupid thing in order to satisfy his wishes.

Without waiting for him to explain, Ke Zihua said again: "Of course, I know that such a thing will not happen in our crew, but I hope to get Mr. Jerry's help." ”

β€œWHATοΌŸβ€

Ke Zihua saw him looking at himself with puzzlement, and said with a firm gaze: "I hope that no matter how much I participate in the production of any film in the future, I can get the corresponding and adequate treatment." ”

"I hope that any action movie I participate in will get enough support so that I can shoot the best shots according to my own ideas!"

"I hope that this will become my fixed cooperation model, which is very important to me!"

It was only at this time that Jerry suddenly realized that all the efforts made by Ke Zihua were fighting against some unreasonable rules, and he couldn't help but have a trace of admiration for the child in front of him, who was not yet eighteen years old.

But that doesn't mean he will be full of these requests, and in the end, Jerry still said with some regret: "You know, the producer is only the organizer and executor of a film, and I have to think about the whole thing." ”

"So, I can only say to you now, from a personal point of view, I appreciate your courage and agree with your proposal."

"But could you please give me a moment? I would like to give you a final answer after consulting with the other partners. ”

"I hope you can understand my distress and wait patiently for a few days, and I think that after seeing your masterpiece, my friends will agree to your request."

Having said that, Jerry has already given his own answer, and Ke Zihua also knows that this is not something he can decide right away.

If he were a big star, I'm afraid Jerry would be ecstatic to make such a condition, but in fact he is just an unknown kid now.

Therefore, Ke Zihua stood up and said goodbye, "No matter what, I am very grateful that you are here in person, and I will wait patiently for your reply." ”

Liu Qianwei also stood up and said with a smile: "Jerry, it's a pleasure to meet you, you are the biggest star I have ever seen." ”

Jerry said politely, "I'm glad to meet you, beautiful lady." ”

"I think we had a good conversation, and I'm sure my friends will agree with your proposal after seeing those videos."

When Ke Zihua heard Jerry's words, his heart moved, and he immediately sent him an invitation: "Jerry, if you have time, on behalf of my director, Mr. John, I would like to invite you to visit the set tomorrow night." ”

"We're going to shoot the last action scene, and I'm sure we'll surprise you."

Jerry's expression was a little flustered, "What? Those few shots are enough to surprise me, what kind of wonderful shots do you want to shoot? No, I have to check it out! ”

Therefore, Jerry did not hesitate to agree to Ke Zihua's invitation: "It's an honor, then we'll see you tomorrow night." ”
