Jude still underestimated how difficult it was for Litte, he thought that his last question would make the other party retreat, but he didn't expect this guy to follow him all the way back to the hotel.

At the steps of the hotel's main door, Jude stopped Lee.

"Listen, my orientation is normal, I'm not interested in men, do you know what I mean?"

"Me too."

Leeter's answer left Jude speechless.

"What the hell do you want?"

Leete's attitude was very resolute: "Tell me the purpose of your visit to Toronto, and then I'll leave!" ”

"After I got out of prison, I made a low-budget film, and with the help of a friend, I got this ...... in Toronto," Jude was talking about the most important place, when a middle-aged man in a suit suddenly appeared next to him and was about to shake his hand.

"Hey, you're Locke, right?"

"That's right, that's me." Jude shook his hand with a puzzled look on his face, and then asked, "Are you?" ”

"President of New Line Films, Mr. Shay White." Li Tet answered for the middle-aged man.

"Oh, who is this?" Shay only noticed Jude at first, but at this moment he suddenly realized that the Chinese who could call his name next to Jude did not seem to be simple.

"I'm Locke's agent." Leeter took it upon himself to arrange an identity for himself.

"Really?" Shay gave Li Tee a serious look, "The investigation materials in my hand don't say that Mr. Locke has an agent. ”

"We've just reached a consensus on this, so I'm now in a position to start fulfilling my responsibilities as a broker." Li Te quietly gave Jude a look, meaning that he must not demolish himself at this time.

Jude is not a fool either, he knows that Shay must have found him at this time for the movie "This Man is from Earth", and isn't a big role of the agent to bargain with the film company?

"It's true that Ritter is my agent, but I'm more curious about how Mr. White found me?"

Shay pulled out a list of film festival screenings from his briefcase.

"Thankfully, the organizing committee has also made a list of the films that have been screened unofficially, which has saved me a lot of time."

Jude glanced at Leet beside him out of the corner of his eye, and saw that he had no objection, so he said, "Come and talk to me in my room." ”

――

"I didn't expect you to live here!" Shay began to look around the room Jude was living in from the moment he entered, and finally he looked back at Jude and said, "You know what? The furnishings reminded me of the hotels I stayed in 10 years ago, when New Line was mainly responsible for distributing horror films aimed at the home video market, and I was lying on the bed in my room looking at the ceiling and vowing that one day I would stay in the best hotel in the world and enjoy the best service. ”

Jude smiled noncommittally.

"Does Mr. White know what was going on in my mind when I lay down on this bed last night?"

"What?"

"I'm thinking it's nice to have a heated room, I'm happier than those homeless people who sleep on the streets."

Jude's answer surprised Shay, and Leet on the side showed a thoughtful expression.

"Mr. White, don't mind if I talk to Locke alone?"

Shay gave Leet a meaningful look and raised his hand to make a gesture of please.

Litra walked into the bathroom with Jude, closed the door, and said straight to the point: "We don't have a lot of time, so don't talk nonsense, just tell me, what the hell is going on with your movie?" Being on the unofficial list of screenings at the Toronto Film Festival, and having the president of New Line visit in person, is a film that will be worth more than you might expect. ”

"You probably won't be too interested in the filming process."

"It doesn't matter."

"I don't know what to say about the movie itself, it's better if you can watch it for yourself, it's just very special."

Jude gave such an ambiguous answer, which made Leet a little embarrassed.

He folded his hands and thought for a while, and his heart quickly made a decision.

"It's definitely too late to watch the movie now, and if I do that, I'm going to reveal to Shay White something I didn't know about the film before, which will be detrimental to the next negotiations. So, tell me how much your film cost and how much you expect it to sell. Don't tell me you want to get a share with the studio, it's impossible for you and your film. ”

"It cost me about $20,000 to shoot this film......"

"What?" Leete's fast-running brain suddenly got stuck because of Jude's words, "20,000 dollars to make a movie, are you sure you're not joking?" ”

"Do you think I'm kidding you right now?" Jude asked angrily.

Litt struggled to force himself to accept this fact.

"Okay, you go ahead!"

"I hope the film sells for between $100,000 and $200,000."

"It's too few to make Shay White fly from the United States to Canada to find someone, and also make it to the unofficial list of the Toronto Film Festival, the reserve price is at least $300,000, and I'm trying to help you talk about $500,000, but it's a bit difficult, because Shay White is notoriously difficult to deal with."

"Well, it's up to you." Jude nodded.

The two walked out of the bathroom, where Shay was already waiting.

"How's it going?"

Litt motioned for Jude to remain silent, he would take care of everything.

"Mr. White, I know what you're here for, and now we can sit down and talk about it."

"Don't bother, I've got things ready." Shay took out the check holder from his pocket, tore off the top one and handed it to Lee, "This is a check for half a million dollars, accept it, and all the copyrights of this movie will belong to New Line." ”

A hint of surprise flashed across both Jude and Leeter's faces, and there was no doubt that Shay had overheard their conversation just now.

Leet's professionalism finally came into play at this time, he immediately calmed down, knowing that anger did not help solve the problem, and at the same time he was also curious why Shay agreed to the price of $500,000 so easily, which he felt that he would have to fight for to get it.

Looking at Jude and Leete, who were surprised, Shay spread his hands and said, "I just don't want to waste everyone's time, in fact, before coming to Canada, I also prepared another check for $300,000, but in view of the fact that this film was unexpectedly qualified for the Toronto Film Festival, and Locke, you suddenly have a powerful agent, I adjusted the bid to $500,000, which is a result that we are all happy to accept." ”

Seeing that Litt still didn't reach for the check, Jude reached out and took it himself.

After confirming that the check was correct, Jude took the initiative to shake Shay's hand.

"Happy working together!"
