Chapter 561 Investment Plan
"Mr. Berg, my script, it's worth the price, you can choose whether you want it or not, I think there will be many directors who are willing to take this book. I'm not afraid to tell you that at the premiere a week ago, that Chinese director Zhang, he was willing to give me 40 percent. The reason why I am willing to reduce this 10% for you is also because of your influence as a world-renowned director, if it is lower, I can't help it. After Liu Yufan said these words, he immediately leaned back in his chair, looking like he had lost interest in talking.
"Forty percent? Is that Chinese director crazy? Hearing this number, Berg cursed fiercely in his heart, but even so, he was still unwilling to be led by the nose by this young man, and in his directorial career, he rarely encountered such a situation, so he was also a very proud person.
The more the other party put on such a posture, the more Berg wanted to get his notebook in his hands, for him, this was the pride of a strong man.
"Thirty percent? No problem.,If your book is really worth that price.。 Berg said lightly, contrary to the enthusiastic demeanor when he met Liu Yufan before. At this moment, he really came up with the negotiation frame.
"I'm sure you won't be disappointed." Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Oh? How? Did you bring all the scripts? Berg looked at Liu Yufan and asked with some surprise. The tone of the other party just now, as if he was completely ready.
"Of course, it's here, and I thought, this must be a good enough book. You'll be satisfied. Liu Yufan casually took the book that had been prepared from Li Xin's hand, shook it at Berg, and when the other party wanted to take it over, he suddenly took it away, and said with a smile: "Mr. Berg, we have a saying in China." It's called the villain first and then the gentleman. Although I believe in Mr. Berg's character, I also believe that you will not pretend to disagree after reading the book, and then take my ideas without permission. But I think it's better to sign an agreement between us first. Liu Yufan said, smiling and handing Berg a copy of the agreement.
That agreement. It is nothing more than that the copyright of this script belongs to Liu Yufan, and no one is allowed to use the ideas, plots, etc. in it without consent. He also took this hand when he showed them the script before signing the contract with the cannon, and although some directors were a little disgusted, they still chose to endure it.
However, Berg read Liu Yufan's agreement. It didn't show any surprise, and naturally signed it, probably he thought. This kind of thing is normal, right? After all, in the West. There is a greater awareness of copyright.
After signing the agreement, Berg got his wish and took the script from Liu Yufan's hand. At this moment. There was some anticipation and excitement in his heart. After so many days of hard work, I finally got what I was looking forward to! Glancing at Liu Yufan, Berg said secretly in his heart: "I hope you won't let me down." ”
Turn the first page, "Special Forces. The words "The Rise of the Cobra" caught his eye. It's written in English, and it's computer-printed, and it's very neat.
Seeing this, Berg glanced at Liu Yufan again, obviously, he had already decided at the moment that this script was prepared for him. The other side even thought about the language, which was obviously prepared in advance.
But at the moment, he didn't think too much about it, and quickly read the content of the script.
To provide Berg with this script, Liu Yufan has been carefully considered. Berg's style is more suitable for shooting this kind of sci-fi war-themed works, because he has a very good grasp of big scenes, and Liu Yufan has reason to believe that this sci-fi war-themed work will definitely be made into a classic under Berg's hands.
At the same time, he is not at all worried that Berg will not like this work, after all, Liu Yufan knows his style too well. Seeing such a subject, it would be impossible to say that Berg was not moved.
Sure enough, after only a few lines, Berg's eyes could no longer be taken off the script.
A superweapon company that secretly controls the country, a terrifying nanobug weapon, a shocking conspiracy, an endless stream of advanced weapons, and a scientific maniac who tries to fight the whole world...... Everything is full of extremely bold imagination, and the imagination of the whole film and the atmosphere of the setting are so strange that even he, a great director who has made countless classics, is amazed!
Berg finished reading this script with the same mentality as if he had seen a good novel. After reading it for a long time, he suddenly closed the script and sighed with satisfaction.
Liu Yufan didn't speak, he just looked at Berg's expression and knew his answer.
He won!
Berg couldn't refuse such a script because it was exactly what he wanted. Liu Yufan believes that even in the face of his almost excessive request, Berg will not refuse, because this film will be a landmark film for him, and it can even raise his fame to a new level again, which money cannot bring.
Sure enough, Berg looked at Liu Yufan, a helpless smile appeared on his face, and he stretched out his hand at Liu Yufan and said, "Okay, I can't refuse this book, you are indeed a genius as they say, Liu, happy cooperation!" ”
"Happy working together!" Looking at Berg's outstretched hand, Liu Yufan smiled and stretched out his hand to shake it with him, Liu Yufan knew that from this moment on, his influence would no longer be limited to China, and his scripts would officially break into Hollywood, which is regarded as a temple by global fans.
Until she got into the car, Li Xin was still a little like in a dream.
What did they just do? They actually had a collaboration with the world's top director, Berg? And the other party actually agreed to their almost unreasonable request?
Oh my God, what kind of magic does this boss have? can actually make the world's top directors all fold and agree to such conditions that are almost robbery-like? Li Xin was really confused. If she hadn't known that the company's confidentiality system was strict, she would have looked at the script desperately to see what kind of story it was about!
Legendary Entertainment, a small company with a small name, although it has just started in the entertainment industry, what no one knows is that in the film industry, it has quietly set off a storm!
In the next month or so, Liu Yufan can be said to have made a lot of money! From the movies made by Lao Mouzi, Feng Dacang, Chen Yige and other directors, Liu Yufan got a huge share, and in this month alone, he got 123 million! Now, the money lies quietly in his personal bank account. Before you know it, he's already a billionaire!
This is different from the company's money, although the assets of Legend Entertainment now have hundreds of millions, but they are the company's assets, and a lot of money is invested in the company's operation and expansion, and it is not possible to spare much money for Liu Yufan to spend. And these income from the script belong to him Liu Yufan, it is his "private money", and he has so much wealth at once, Liu Yufan really has a very dizzy feeling!
"This is the feeling of a reborn person, this money is earned, it's so cool!" Liu Yufan sat in the bank's key customer room, enjoying the VIP treatment of the bank manager, watching the beautiful salesman flying towards him with affectionate discharge eyes, and his heart was dark!
This is just the beginning, and in the next few months, those newly released movies will continue to bring new income to Liu Yufan. Liu Yufan believes that just the few scripts he wrote before will bring him an income of 200 to 300 million yuan.
With so much money, Liu Yufan obviously won't let them lie in the bank honestly, which would be too wasteful, but continue to invest in the company? Liu Yufan once thought like this, but when discussing with Chen Siying, she refused. The reason is very simple, the company can't eat a fat man in one bite, and the current legendary entertainment is already running benignly and developing rapidly, and there is no need to accelerate the development at all, which may make him out of control and difficult to grasp. Chen Siying suggested that the money can be invested in some aspects with high appreciation potential, such as gold, antiques, real estate, stocks and so on.
When the little girl said this, she reminded Liu Yufan. He doesn't know anything else, but the real estate in Beijing is an absolute sunrise industry. In Liu Yufan's memory, many prime locations that can be called every inch of land are still worthless suburbs. If the money is not in a hurry, it can be exchanged for land, and whether it is developed by itself or transferred to the developer in the future, it will be a considerable income! Liu Yufan's impression is that those real estate bosses in later generations are all bullish characters, although the real estate bubble is blowing bigger and bigger, and it is difficult for real estate developers who come in later to make money, but those real estate developers who came in first, especially in Beijing, have made money one by one!
When Liu Yufan talked about this idea to Chen Siying, the other party immediately said yes, and at the same time praised Liu Yufan a little on the phone, and said that he would come back in the near future to work with him on the staff, which naturally made Liu Yufan a little excited. He hadn't seen Si Ying for a long time, and when he thought of her elf-like and lovely face, he couldn't help but think of the situation where the two of them were entangled together, and the longing in his heart couldn't help but become more urgent.
However, as the saying goes, blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not one-way, Liu Yufan's joy of making a sum of money has not passed, and a thing that worries him has come to the door.
