Chapter 123: You Misconfessed !!
In Columbia Pictures, Giselle is waiting for news, it has been a long time since he bought the rights to adapt "Source Code", but Chris has never received good news, which makes his boss, who has never doubted Chris, have a little doubt. That's a movie that doesn't have a Hollywood star face that can hit a total box office of 60 million, and the money that Columbia allocated to the hero Huayi alone has reached 16.8 million US dollars, which is an absolutely incredible box office in North America if you pile up a few obvious Hollywood faces and make the movie at zero cost!
Thinking of this, when Giselle was about to continue to call to inquire about the situation, the secretary walked into the office, and the blonde-haired secretary spoke: "Mr. Giselle, Mr. Chris has a message that we will sign a contract with the hero Huayi, and he has already obtained the adaptation rights of "Source Code". β
Giselle was so excited that he didn't even think about why, let alone what method Chris used to get the contract that he couldn't sign for a long time, and opened his mouth to ask, "How much?" β
"5 million."
Giselle was already very happy, and when the secretary said the next sentence, Giselle laughed directly: "RMB!" β
βWHATοΌοΌοΌοΌβ
Giselle grabbed the phone and called directly, he called Chris's mobile phone: "Hey, Chris, it's me, Giselle." You've done a great job, and I'm ashamed of my reckless tantrum at you, and I formally apologize to you. I didn't expect that the reason why you couldn't sign a contract with Hero Huayi was to give me a surprise, 5 million RMB. Ha, I really doubt that Shao Yingying has become an idiot, otherwise how could he agree to this kind of mention. β
Until now. Giselle didn't even bother to ask how he was signed!
"What? Do you want to take a leave of absence? Still missing your wife and children? Okay, okay, as long as this thing is done thoroughly, I will allow you to transfer back, and I will give you a big project! β
The time when the phone was hung up was the day before the contract was signed.
β¦β¦
On the day of the signing, Shao Yingying walked down from the office of Hero Huayi. There wasn't much grievance on his face, but he looked at Chris with an abnormal look, giving people the feeling that it was. Shao Yingying appeared very seriously, but he had been waiting to see the joke next to him, even if he was expressionless.
Chris looked at Shao Yingying's face and felt a little furious, he always felt that this matter was inseparable from himself.
What is Shao Yingying going to do? Find someone to kill you after signing the contract. And then snatch the contract back? No. This is the capital, not Brooklyn, and he Shao Yingying is the chairman of the hero Huayi, not to mention the owner of an auto repair shop that no one pays attention to. Once this kind of thing happens, no one can cover up the turmoil in the media...... Shao Yingying can't be so stupid.
So what is he waiting for?
"Shao, you look good today." Chris is tempting.
Unexpectedly, Shao Yingying only smiled at him. He didn't even reply.
This polite smile can make the media understand that he has reacted to his words, but in fact, the disgust in a pair of eyes represents Shao Yingying's heart. This sense of humiliation Shao Yingying has never forgotten. It's just that he didn't come out.
Chris stopped opening his mouth in interest, waiting for the official spokesperson of Huayi to stand up and speak: "Friends from the media, ......"
In front of the Hero Huayi Company, hundreds of reporters either filmed or recorded two people on the rostrum with long guns and short guns, if the signing is successful today, Hero Huayi will become the first media company in China to sell the script adaptation rights to a large Hollywood company, that is to say, Hero Huayi has set its sights on the world rather than China and Asia. This is an important moment, Shao Yingying, who has already laid a box office of 500 million yuan for a single film in China, can rely on the big tree of Colombia to continue to create a miracle is something that every media is looking forward to, so today's signing is very important.
"Hero Huayi sold the rights to the adaptation of "Source Code" to Colombia for 5 million......"
"How much!"
The media is crazy!
Two days ago, it was reported in the media that the overseas box office of "Source Code" reached 60 million US dollars, and the net profit alone created a value of more than 100 million RMB overseas, can't Shao Yingying see the value of "Source Code"? Why would it be sold for such a low price of 5 million? Isn't this the same as selling Kaka for 10 million euros? Idiots wouldn't do that, would they?
"The reason why the price is so low is because ......"
Chris was very nervous, he felt that the official spokesman of Hero Huayi had talked too much, what is the reason for you to mention at this time? Could it be that Shao Yingying instructed it in advance? He's going to kick this qiΔ in front of the media?
"The reason is that Columbia was the first company to contact Huayi and the first to make an offer and received a verbal consent from Mr. Shao Yingying, so we should abide by the agreement, even if it is only a verbal agreement."
As soon as Chris shuddered, he immediately returned to normal, fortunately, Shao Yingying did not plan to tell the real reason, otherwise even if his affairs were exposed, their hero Huayi's smearing of Colombia would cause a break between the two companies, and the matter of "Twilight" might have become something. Even if Colombia will not avenge itself, it is absolutely impossible to use no means against the hero Hua Yi.
"Now, the signing ceremony begins!"
A contract was held by Miss Etiquette and sent to the rostrum in the winter, Shao Yingying and Chris took a group photo under the camera with the agreement, both of them faced the camera with a smile on their faces, Chris squirmed his lips as little as possible at this time and whispered: "What the hell are you doing?" β
Shao Yingying is still silent and does not respond a word, just like Gandhi who protested with hunger strike and silence, I can not fight back, but I am just not convinced.
Chris was a little panicked, he thought that everything was in his hands, but he felt very unsteady, as if he hadn't caught anything, and thought he had won.
Didn't you win?
After taking the photo, the two separated behind the rostrum, and returned to their positions with Wen JiΓ n, and Chris glanced at Shao Yingying. At that time, he found that Shao Yingying was very attentive and carefully reading the terms of the contract one by one, as if this contract was only seen today. It's like I'm afraid of loopholes.
After Chris signed in two clicks, he said to Shao Yingying: "Shao, can I explain it to you in detail?" β
"No, I can still understand the contract in both Chinese and English." Shao Yingying finally responded to him, but this sentence was the same as not responding, there was no half-affection in and out of the words, and it was impossible to tell whether this was a joke or a formal answer. Or...... Outraged?
The official spokesman was not idle when Shao Yingying was reading the contract, and loudly announced to the media: "Everyone, Boss Shao is busy with work. The importance of this contract is also very clear to everyone, please be patient, I can tell you a little gossip here. β
"Actually, we can sell the adaptation rights of "Source Code" for 10 million. Don't believe it. This 10 million is still a dollar, and it is MGM that pays the money, which is also a big company. Why would we sell to Colombia in this situation, like a fire sale in the face of such a gap? The official spokesman wore a suit and his nose was frozen red, but he was still very handsome and stretched out a finger and said: "Reputation!" β
"The credibility of a businessman is manifested at this time."
The official spokesman began to brag about Shao Yingying, and Shao Yingying, who was a little embarrassed, sometimes smiled while reading the text, as if to say, 'Is this me?' βγ
In the gushing tirade. Everyone waited for Shao Yingying for nearly five minutes, just when his patience was about to be worn out......
Whew, shmmm, smh.
The red and blue police lights began to flash. The sirens got closer and closer in the flickering lights, and the sound of the sirens did not stop until the two police cars stopped at the door of the hero Huayi.
"Police? What's going on? β
"Shao Yingying committed an accident?"
"It's possible, if he doesn't have any crooked evil, can he drive the Wang brothers away and dominate Huayi!"
The heart of gossip is about to move, and everyone suspects that the police rushed to the door of the hero Huayi This matter is related to Shao Yingying, just like when chatting, we will wonder if the first pot of gold of all the rich people is not earned, because we have worked hard for the first pot of gold for a whole life and have not seen any hope. However, no one doubted Chris, no!
Chris raised his head, he was getting more and more incomprehensible about this scene, what were the police doing here? Something went wrong with Huayi? I won't pick the day of the signing.
The policeman walked out of the car, and the two policemen shuttled through the crowd very calmly, and when they walked to the front of the rostrum, they didn't look at Shao Yingying at all, and walked towards Chris and said, "Mr. Chris, someone reported that you were raped, please come with us." β
Rape !!
"What a joke!" After Chris finished in English, he realized that he was really panicked, and quickly said it again in Chinese.
The police comrade responded very sternly: "Do the two of us look like jokes? Also, Mr. International Friend, our police never joke with criminals. β
"Please come here."
The door of another police car was opened, and a woman in a black trench coat with curly hair got out of the car and walked up to Chris, accompanied by a policewoman.
The policeman asked, "Ms. Yu, is that the man you are talking about?" β
The woman looked very strange, first looked around, as if looking for someone, and then resolutely turned her head and pointed at Chris and said, "That's him!" β
"Anything else to say? Mr. Chris. When the police questioned again, Chris was completely confused.
Rape?
It's obviously a lover, why did you become such a person?
"He's my girlfriend, are you mistaken?" Chris said eagerly.
"Mistaken? According to our investigation, Mr. Chris, you are married, and it seems that you have more than one such girlfriend in China. Here, we don't want to pursue moral issues, because in this land, having sex against a woman's will is called rape, especially if you are not husband and wife. The policeman said, "Take it away!" β
"What evidence do you have, what evidence do you have! How can the police in your country arrest people indiscriminately, I want to sue you, I want to find a lawyer, I want to ......" Chris began to struggle when he was held down by the police, and passed by Ms. Yu's side in the struggle, and spat fiercely at that moment: "Cheap-goods, why are you suing me, why!" β
The police explained to the surrounding media: "Guys, since you are all media, then I think it is my duty to explain it to you, otherwise, you will think that we are arresting people indiscriminately." The arrest of Chris was based on conclusive evidence, and Chris's entire crime process was filmed by Ms. Yu's newly bought DV, and fortunately, Ms. Yu's newly bought DV was not very proficient in using it, so she forgot to close it, otherwise, this evidence would not have fallen into our hands. Plus, we had Chris's bodily fluids, and these two pieces of evidence were enough for us to capture Chris. β
Shao Yingying hurriedly walked over and asked, "Mr. Policeman, what the hell is going on?" β
"Yo, big star. Mr. Shao, that's the case, this kid, with a human face and a beast's heart, deceived a lot of girls in our country, and forcibly had a sexual act when one of the girls was obviously unwilling, if you have any business dealings, you have to be cautious, this foreign devil is weaker than my kidneys. Alright, you're busy, we should go back too. β
When Shao Yingying heard this, he turned his head and walked to the company, and the media rushed up when they saw that Shao Yingying was going to hide and 'buzz'.
"Mr. Shao, what the hell is going on? How could Mr. Chris suddenly be arrested? β
"Mr. Shao, do you know the inside story?"
"Mr. Shao......"
"Shao ......"
The official spokesman and security guards instantly rushed out and stopped at the door, and the official spokesman shouted loudly: "Friends of reporters, Boss Shao does not want to be interviewed now, and he will give you an explanation in the future......"
Bite.
When the elevator door opened again, Shao Yingying returned to his office, Zhang Wan was waiting in the office at the moment, and when he saw Shao Yingying coming in, he hurriedly went to close the door.
"It's all done."
Zhang Wan said with great certainty: "Five million, Xiaoyu will never change her words, in addition, after the dust settles on this matter, she will go back abroad for plastic surgery." β
Shao Yingying nodded and said, "You didn't participate, did you?" β
"It didn't go through my hands from beginning to end, but we have to pay for the plastic surgery."
"Money is not an issue, you must not get directly involved in this kind of thing. And there must be absolutely no problems in the intermediate links. β
"No, you can rest assured, the intermediary gave all the money to Xiao Yu under my personal supervision, and I saw all the conversations between him and Xiao Yu in the surveillance and heard them in the recording, and now this person is moving out of the country, and it won't be long before he leaves this country, and when the time comes, Xiao Yu will be very troublesome even if he wants to bite back." But this middleman also has to pay a sum of money. β
Shao Yingying looked at the sky at the window and said viciously: "Chris, I said, you provoked the wrong person!" (To be continued......)
