After leaving Princess Jin, Chen Shaoyi was much more relieved about "Home Alone", and his sense of gain and loss weakened a lot, and after returning home, he excitedly called Smith in the United States. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info.

"Hey, who's that?"

"Mr. Smith, it's me."

"Chen? My God, it's only two o'clock in the morning, and you're going to call me......"

There was a trembling English symbol on the other end of the phone, and it was obvious that Smith was very unhappy that he was woken up in the middle of the night.

Chen Shaoyi hurriedly put his ears away from the microphone, black lines popped up in front of his forehead, and he actually forgot that there was such a thing as a time difference in the world.

Chen Shaoyi's two lives combined, he only went to China the last time he went to the United States to shoot "Home Alone", and he didn't have much concept of jet lag in his heart, and now he is in a state of excitement, and he has left the jet lag behind.

"Chen, wait a minute."

Immediately after that, the sound of Suo Suo getting dressed came from the other end of the phone, and only after half a ring did Smith's voice come again: "Dear Chen, you'd better give me good news, otherwise the next time you have a treat, you will definitely be poor." ”

This sentence was left by Chen Shaoyi jokingly when Smith invited him to a treat, and I didn't expect Smith to remember it.

Chen Shaoyi smiled and said, "Mr. Smith, it's really my fault this time, I'm sorry to disturb your rest, but you are very welcome to come and eat me." ”

"Dear Chen, tell me, what's the matter with you looking for me so late?" Smith asked on the other end of the phone.

"Mr. Smith, my new drama Home Alone has been produced, would you be interested in coming to Hong Kong to enjoy it?"

"Oh, dear Chen, you've made it, it's great, I believe this show is great. Tomorrow afternoon, oh no, I'll be on my way to Hong Kong this afternoon. ”

"Okay, I'll invite Mr. Smith to taste our Chinese cuisine."

"Haha, dear Chen, my appetite is out when you say this, it seems that I have to go have some supper first."

"Haha, that's it, let's talk about it when we meet."

“ok。”

Smith's movements were still very fast, and after reporting to the company when he went to work in the morning, he was approved by the MGM board of directors, and flew to Hong Kong that afternoon.

Due to the time difference, when the plane arrived in Hong Kong, the time returned to the morning.

The theater chain in the United States is very important, and Chen Shaoyi didn't want to pretend to be a manpower, so he came to the airport to greet Smith in person.

After the two of them got into the car, Smith spoke: "I said dear Chen, I almost don't recognize the way you look." ”

But no, Chen Shaoyi's image at this time is a middle-aged man with a full beard, he smiled and touched the fake beard on his chin and said: "There is no way, celebrities are like this, if you don't dress up, you can't go out." ”

"Haha, that's what you said, but you're a director, so it shouldn't be like that, right?"

The director is indeed not as popular as the actor, but the box office of this guy named Chen Shaoyi is terrifyingly high in Hong Kong, and at present, Chen Shaoyi's "Home Alone" is still the most anticipated year-end blockbuster at the moment, which is a bit delicate in terms of identity; Another point is that Chen Shaoyi is still in a state of being riddled with scandals, and it is the big beauty stars in the two worlds who have spread scandals, and this matter has not been completely eliminated, the reporter still likes to interview Chen Shaoyi, and Chen Shaoyi can't take precautions.

Chen Shaoyi said with a smile: "This is hard to say, and I have the opportunity to talk to Mr. Smith in detail." Mr. Smith has just come from the United States, does he want to go to rest first, or go back to my company? ”

"Dear Chen, let's take care of our business first and then rest, let's go back to your company first."

Chen Shaoyi nodded secretly, although the Americans take interests too seriously, which makes Chen Shaoyi complain, but his attitude towards work is still worth learning.

Chen Shaoyi instructed the driver and went directly to Phoenix Film and Television Production Company.

After accompanying Lei Juekun, Chen Shaoyi accompanied Smith to watch "Home Alone" again, but the voice of this screening was in English.

As the deputy director of MGM distribution, Smith has watched countless films, but he was still amused by the comedy plot of "Home Alone", which made Chen Shaoyi secretly happy.

"Haha, dear Chen, I really doubt that you have lived in our America for a long time, and you can make such a comedy that fits the lives of our American people."

Chen Shaoyi shrugged, "Mr. Smith, I haven't lived there in the United States, but I have studied a lot of your Hollywood comedy movies and studied a lot of American folklore books to make such a film." All I can say is that cinema is the universal language of the world and the bridge of communication between the world. ”

"Haha, dear Chen, what you said is really good, movies are indeed a bridge between the world, otherwise how would we know each other."

Chen Shaoyi sat down appropriately and said with a smile: "Mr. Smith has also watched the film, so I don't know if MGM is satisfied with this film?" ”

"The film is very good, I can sign this film on behalf of MGM, or according to the previous share."

“no。” Chen Shaoyi shook his finger, "Mr. Smith, the twenty percent share is too much for me, and this time I will take the thirty percent share." ”

Smith shook his head, "Dear Chen, you know it's impossible, MGM will never sign such a contract with you." ”

Chen Shaoyi smiled mysteriously, "Mr. Smith, God's ability to create the world means that there is nothing impossible in this world. ”

Smith's heart moved, "Dear Chen, what exactly do you want to say." ”

"Hehe, what I want to say is that Mr. Smith doesn't fight for it, how do you know that it won't work?"

"Me?"

"Yes, Mr. Smith, we are also acquaintances, let me tell you clearly, this "Home Alone" was released at MGM, and my box office share ratio is on the basis of 20%, for every 1% increase, then I will give Mr. Smith a reward of 50,000 US dollars, if the share ratio reaches 30%, Mr. Smith has 500,000 US dollars, you should think about it." Chen Shaoyi seduced Smith.

Chen Shaoyi has investigated, and Smith's status at MGM is not low, but he does not have MGM's shares, which means that even if this kind of person is very loyal, he will not completely ignore everything else for the sake of the company.

Sure enough, Smith was moved by Chen Shaoyi's words, and $500,000 was definitely a great temptation for Smith, enough for him to work hard at MGM for two or three years. And although it helped Chen Shaoyi increase the box office share, although it may cause some losses to MGM's interests. But Smith is personally optimistic about "Home Alone", once "Home Alone" is hot at the box office, then MGM will be able to make a big profit, and he Smith did not make MGM lose money, but MGM made a little less money.

There are some underground rules like this, there are all walks of life, and Smith doesn't feel too guilty about this, and he is not a betrayal of MGM, maybe this is what he deserves, and God gives him a reward for his hard work.

The Chinese say that people do not destroy for themselves, and this sentence is common all over the world.

"Haha, dear Chen, I like to work with a cheerful person like you, I wish us a happy cooperation."

Chen Shaoyi said with great satisfaction: "Happy cooperation. ”
