1311. Old Fox
Butler stopped the car directly, squatted outside the car and smoked, with a sad face.
Mao Weilong sighed: "Look at it, what have you made of Master Ba?" I said, you're pumping your brain? Don't pay royalties and royalties, just give someone a script? After coming to Canada, have you become Lei Feng or what? ”
Qin Shiou was also helpless: "Why did you think so much at that time?" How long has Daqin seafood been up? ”
Uncle Hei squatted on the side of the road and finished smoking a cigarette, threw away the cigarette butt and returned to the cab with a fierce face, gritting his teeth and saying, "Fake squid, how can there be such a good thing?" It's decided, Qin, we have to make them pay something! ”
Qin Shiou smiled bitterly and said, "Actually, our seafood industry doesn't need advertising, right?" Aren't we doing business on strength? ”
Uncle Hei looked serious: "Qin, things are not so simple, this is a matter of nature, understand?" The nature of the problem! They are bullying us blacks and yellows, bullying people of color! ”
Qin Shiou almost laughed out loud when he was amused by this, the black man's hand is really smooth, anything can be linked to racial discrimination, and the copyright issue was what he promised at the beginning.
Butler was determined to insert Daqin's seafood advertisements in the movie, which he expected, and he kept muttering on the way, and called several lawyers to ask about this.
The lawyer asked Qin Shiou if he had signed a copyright agreement with the investor, and he said that he had signed an agreement at that time, and then the lawyer told Butler that he should not bother with it, the copyright is now someone else's.
Butler was so dissatisfied with this reply that he yelled while driving, "Are you bullying?" Is it bullying, is it bullying? What about human rights? What about freedom? What about democracy? ”
Qin Shiou felt that he was about to go crazy. At least it's gibberish.
The film crew chartered an apartment building by the sea, and Butler took two people and a bird to kill them directly.
Cameron brought the main cast and the producer of the investor to receive them. After Qin Shiou got out of the car, Cameron came up and hugged him warmly and introduced him to a series of actors.
It's a pity that Qin Shiou is not familiar with Hollywood, among these stars, he knows the biggest name, and the others are not familiar - the actor is the handsome guy Xiao Lizi he has met and talked to a few words, Leonardo.
Xiao Lizi is no longer the suave and graceful when he was young, but he is definitely still a handsome guy, and he will play the role of Qin Shiou at that time, the resolute and resolute captain comrade.
Qin Shiou and Xiao Lizi had a warm conversation. Butler said sympathetically next to him: "Hey, gentlemen, it's not appropriate to use a white man to play the role of Qin, right?" He's a great Chinese captain! ”
Cameron laughed and said: "This movie is based on a true story, but it's more of a tribute, a tribute to all the fishermen when Qin and the sea disaster broke out, so what we want is a spirit, don't we?" ”
As he spoke, he patted Butler on the shoulder and said, "Just like you, Mr. Butler, didn't you learn that you were going to make this movie." Are you willing to act in your true colors for free? We are all the same, we all pay tribute to the spirit of dedication. ”
Hearing this, Qin Shiou took advantage of the fact that no one was paying attention to him and pulled Butler, and said in a low voice: "Shet." You're still complaining about me, how do you star for free? ”
Butler looked at him with a resentful expression: "Can this blame me?" I thought that our Daqin seafood would definitely be the protagonist in the movie! So, I thought. Why didn't I take the opportunity to follow Daqin Seafood to show my face? Then I contacted Director Cameron. He said that the role was tricky and not very technical. It won't pay much, and in the end, I impulsively decided to star in ...... for free."
As he spoke, he clenched his right hand into a fist and slammed it into the palm of his left hand: "Fake, impulsive, impulsive!" I knew I should have asked for a high salary, such as one million or two million! ”
Qin Shiou laughed, Uncle Hei is really crazy, right? If Cameron really paid millions for him to play tricks, it would be crazy.
Cameron hugged Nimitz there to communicate his feelings, and the big warship bird had no time to pay attention to him, while looking at the Qin officials, and at the same time looking at the old director, it finally understood that something was wrong: I was harmed by this gang of people!
Later, the crew arranged accommodation for Qin Shiou and Mao Weilong, and Butler didn't know when he went to find Cameron, and then came back in a gloomy manner, and said angrily: "Shet, that guy said that he can't be the master, let me talk to the producer and the investor!" Damn, this is clearly perfunctory to me! ”
Qin Shiou has a very peaceful attitude towards money, this is not his pretending, but a kind of confidence, he is sure that if he is short of money, he can get hundreds of millions of billions in just a few days.
As for the brand of Daqin Seafood, he has not been attentive since its establishment, and it is Butler who really cares.
Seeing that Butler was so anxious, he felt that it was unnecessary, so he went to dismiss him.
Listening to his words, Butler said unconvinced: "Qin, your idea is very dangerous! We don't take things that don't belong to us, but we can't touch our own things either! The copyright is yours, and if they want to use it, they have to pay the price, it's fair trade! ”
Qin Shiou touched his chin, Butler was right, this is something that belongs to him, wouldn't it be stupid if he sent it out for nothing? People may not appreciate it.
And he was thinking about something else, why was the movie shot in Miami? Why can't you go to Farewell Island for filming? If you go to Farewell Island to shoot, then the town can have a large amount of income, and after the movie is broadcast, it can also be used to build tourism.
This is very important, Winnie is worried about how to make the town's economy to the next level, he has to find a way to help, right?
Copyright involves the law, and if you ask Auerbach about legal issues, the copyright transfer agreement was presided over by an old lawyer.
Qin Shiou called back, and Auerbach listened quietly to him, and asked, "Do you want royalties?" ”
"No, I want to implant a hard advertisement for the brand Daqin Seafood." Qin Shiou said, "Is there a way?" We've already signed an agreement, isn't it troublesome? ”
The old man smiled and said: "I have a hundred ways, don't worry, don't care about the copyright transfer agreement, that's what I made, it's full of loopholes, I was afraid that there would be any disputes in the later stage of this matter." ”
Qin Shiou was surprised: "Is there a way to insert an advertisement?" Is there a way for them to choose our town as the filming location? ”
Auerbach said: "Now even if you don't want them to shoot, I have a way to get the copyright back, trust the methods of an old lawyer, although he has been retired for many years." ”
Qin Shiou exclaimed: "It's incredible, if the agreement is full of holes, can't the investor see it?" ”
Auerbach explained: "Quite simply, they underestimated you and I at the time. The cooperative attitude you showed in this matter made them let their guard down, and the contract I designed was actually invalid! ”
"What do you mean?"
"All the legal provisions in the agreement are negotiated on the basis of American law, but you are Canadian, and their laws are not binding on you!" (To be continued......)
