Litt was silent for a moment, then placed a hand on Jude's shoulder.

"Need my help?"

"I warn you!" Jude turned his head suddenly, glared at Lee, and said, "I can handle this matter myself, I don't need you to interfere!" ”

Litte put down the beer bottle and spread his hands.

"Very well, I don't want to ask about your private life, but what about your new film going to be shot in the UK?"

Jude drank the wine from his glass, "Because I like the London accent, is that enough?" ”

"That's enough for me, but it doesn't necessarily convince Shay-White." ”

Jude didn't seem to worry about this at all, looked at the empty wine glass in front of him and said to himself, "He will agree." ”

"Charles, the director of the "Oprah Talk Show" program, called me just now, and he said that this episode is of a very high level of recording, and he should be able to cut a very exciting episode in the later stage, but if you want to use this increase to persuade the new line to invest in your new film, then I'm afraid you will be disappointed." Leet turned to the side, leaned back against the bar and continued: "New Line has decided to abandon the plan to publicly release "This Man from Earth" in North America and go directly to the video distribution, the good news is that because of the publicity at the Toronto Film Festival, the overseas rights distribution of this film is going well, and the new line should have recovered the cost, so as long as the script is okay, Shay White should agree to invest in your new film, provided of course you don't make some unacceptable demands." ”

Jude turned his head to look at Litt and asked hesitantly, "Do you think the request to go to the UK to shoot is excessive?" ”

Leeter shrugged.

"It's not too much, the key depends on whether the reasons you give are convincing, given the current unclear relationship between you and Kate, I believe Shay will have enough doubts about your purpose as much as I do, maybe the first thing you say when you meet, he will ask you, whether to go to the UK to pick up girls or film."

"What if I want to do both?" Jude didn't want to hide it anymore at this time, and directly stated his plan.

"That's what worries me the most." Litt looked sideways at Jude, "If Kate says no to you at the end, can you guarantee that the new film shooting will not be affected by this?" The biggest problem with two things at the same time is that you can mess up both. ”

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who can't tell the difference between work and life?"

Litt took a sip of his beer and replied unhurriedly, "I do have doubts on this issue. ”

Jude also counted on Leeter to negotiate with the new line company, and at this time he could only make concessions.

"I'll put the filming in front of the pickled girl, so it's always okay, right?"

Leet couldn't help but ask: "It's not okay to change places, it has to be England?" ”

Jude nodded, and with a serious expression, he said that this matter was non-negotiable.

"Okay, I'll do my best, but you also have to hurry up and write the script, my side is only responsible for communicating with the new line company in the early stage, and in the end, if you want to convince Shay, I'm afraid you have to come forward in person." Litte is very clear about his role in the negotiations, of course, he will not make any guarantees, as for Jude's new film, he has not even seen the script yet, and it is impossible to judge whether it is good or bad.

"The script can be written in two days, and I'll talk to Shay directly, and he will definitely be interested."

Jude looked confident, but Littlet was still a little worried.

"Do you send the script over for them to read first? At least test the attitude over there. ”

Jude shook his head and rejected the proposal, citing that it was too troublesome.

If the new line is not ready to invest, Jude will go to other film companies, there are so many independent production companies in Hollywood, there are always people who will like this script, there is no need to hang yourself from a tree.

"Then I'll come forward to talk!" Leeter felt that Jude was going to negotiate with Shay with the attitude he was now, and the end result was likely to be an unpleasant quarrel for both sides.

Jude thought about it, but in the end he didn't quite agree.

"I'll go with you, you're in charge of the negotiation part, and I'm in charge of explaining to them exactly what the film is going to do."

Litt looked at Jude in confusion, "Do you think this is necessary?" ”

Jude grinned, "There are more than a dozen main characters in this movie alone, and if you're sure you can sort out the relationship between these characters, I'd be willing to stay in the hotel and wait for your good news." ”

Litt originally wanted to say that there are also eight leading actors in "This Man is from Earth", but his intuition told him that Jude was not untargeted, otherwise Jude's character would not be so proactive in participating in negotiations.

"Okay, I'll go with you then."

Lisa pushed open the office door, and Shay was answering a phone call.

Seeing that Lisa was about to speak, Shay hurriedly made a gesture to tell her to wait first.

"So far, the overseas rights of "This Man from Earth" have brought in a total of two million dollars in revenue for the company, and after we abandon theatrical releases, the profit from the home video segment should not be less than that."

"Then I should congratulate you in advance! By the way, in view of the current good operating conditions of the new line company, the board of directors of the group has rejected the merger plan proposed by Warner again at yesterday's meeting, but you know that Warner will definitely not stop there, so you still need to have more brilliant results on your side to make the directors believe that you have the ability to run the new line company independently and bring more generous returns to shareholders. ”

"As long as the Board of Directors continues to support me in retaining the right to operate independently of the new line, I am confident that this goal will be achieved soon." Shay had the phone in his face, and quickly flipped through the documents handed by Lisa, and after confirming that there were no problems, he picked up a pen and signed his name on it.

After handing it back, Shay thought that Lisa's side would be fine, but she didn't expect her to continue to stand there, looking like she wanted to say something.

"Mr. Joy, I'm here as a guest, so I can't talk to you for the time being, I'll invite you to play golf later."

Hanging up the phone, Shay looked up at Lisa.

"That call is very important to me and the company, so you'd better have something very important, or you're very clear about the consequences."

Lisa gave Shay a cautious look and then explained, "Jude Locke and his agent are right outside the door, and they say they have something very important to see you. ”

Shay frowned when he heard this, of course he knew Jude's intention, but he couldn't figure out why Leet would come with him.

After thinking about it for a moment, Shay finally made a decision.

"Let them in!"
