After the movie-watching experience, Li Donglai asked the organizer of the film festival to contact the director of "Untouchable" on his behalf, and he wanted to buy the overseas rights of the film.

"Hearing this, I think Olivier Nakash must be very happy. We'll pass it on for you, but you're afraid you'll have to face a competitor, and this movie has other people who have taken a fancy to it. ”

"Oh? Thank you for informing, please do your best to help me contact the creator of the film, thank you very much. "Li Donglai is not surprised, this movie is indeed great.

The organizers agreed.

This can be regarded as a good story of the Tokyo Film Festival, Li Donglai is now a tycoon-level figure, and his every move has attracted much attention. When promoting "Twilight" in Tokyo, I unexpectedly fell in love with "Untouchable", the winner of the highest award at the Tokyo Film Festival. I want to buy the overseas rights of the movie.

In a sense, it is also an affirmation of the Tokyo Film Festival, and they will definitely promote it afterwards.

"I thought you came to see the movie just casually and couldn't refuse, but you actually thought about buying the copyright when you were promoting." Christine quipped. She just came to watch a movie with him, as long as she was comfortable, and didn't care about the rest.

Li Donglai smiled, "It's all work anyway, so why not do it." ”

"Can this movie make money, don't lose it." Westerners' special productions, and she is the same, are a little despised by the Tokyo Film Festival.

Li Donglai said indifferently: "This movie has the characteristics of a big hit, and it is very popular in France. As long as you do it right, you may be able to make a lot of money. ”

Christine wrinkled her nose, but she thought of another question, took Li Donglai's hand and asked quietly: "I've always wanted to ask you, when you were filming, you wanted to leave as soon as possible, and now it's time for publicity." I don't want to show up together. Don't you want to meet Robert? ”

Li Donglai glanced at her in surprise, shook his head and denied, "No, I'm just busy." ”

Christine seemed to confirm his thoughts, and said with a smile: "You Chinese have a very strange mind. It's none of your business, it's me who made the choice, and I took the initiative to ask you out because I fell in love with you. You don't have to be burdened with psychological pressure. ”

Li Donglai smiled, "Baby, I'm not a good person, you really flattered me." At night when it comes to sleep. Remember to open the windows. ”

Christine wondered: "The windows are on top of dozens of floors, what are you doing with the windows open?" ”

"Hey, just open it, let's go on a night tour of Tokyo together!"

……

If you don't really encounter a good movie, you can't understand the passion of filmmakers for good movies.

Back then, Brad Pitt also spent a lot of money to buy the adaptation rights because he liked the Xiangjiang movie "Infernal Affairs". Bring it to Hollywood. Li Donglai can understand his mood at that time now, especially when he saw Weinstein's family coming over, this feeling was even stronger.

The organizers of the Tokyo Film Festival quickly contacted them, and the two directors of "Untouchable", Olivier Nakash and Eric Tolanda, were talking to the head of Weinstein about overseas copyrights, and when they heard that Li Donglai wanted to buy overseas rights, they immediately came over.

The shadow of the famous tree of people has two billion box office movies worldwide. There are only two of them.

The name Li Donglai is still very convincing.

Li Donglai and Christine had just returned to their hotel when they were greeted by the Weinstein team, the CEO in a black suit, Harvey Weinstein.

This guy is also one of the most influential figures in the world film industry today, and for 25 years, he has led Mira? Max produced and distributed a large number of classic films, which also earned him a reputation as "the savior of modern cinema".

But in the eyes of many people, he is just a film businessman at best.

Feng Xiaogang scolded him, "Liar! Buy low and sell high. Do everything you can to have a baby without an asshole. ”

…… Not good.

The people over there also saw Li Donglai, and Harvey greeted with a smile: "Hey, Lee, I just happen to see you here." ”

"I'm everywhere." Li Donglai said with a smile before shaking hands with the two directors, Olivier Nakash and Eric Tolanda, respectively. Get to know each other. "Hi Olivier, I love Untouchable. With all due respect, such a good film should not only let it shine in France, but should let the whole world see it. ”

Li Donglai said this very sincerely, and Olivier Nakash and Eric Tolanda were very happy, "Thank you, it's our hard work." ”

"Hey, we're looking the same way. Weinstein also wanted to bring the film to the world. Harvey didn't expect Li Donglai to go straight to the ground as soon as he came up, making him a little passive, "There is also a first-come-first-served business business, isn't it, we had a very pleasant chat just now." Director Olivier is also willing to hand over "Untouchable" to Weinstein & Co. to operate. ”

"Haha, don't worry, Harvey, let's sit down and talk. While eating and chatting, the Japanese handle seafood is still very standard. He was in a hurry, but Li Donglai was not in a hurry.

What does it mean that it has been negotiated, and if it is negotiated, it will not appear here.

Li Donglai had already guessed that according to Weinstein's vampire style, he would obviously not give a too satisfactory price. That's why Olivier can't wait to reach out to the next customer.

In fact, the two of them were here despite Harvey's objections, and he knew that the business was going to be bad. I have worked hard in Hollywood for so many years, but my financial resources are still not as good as this little guy who has only been mixed up for a few years, and I feel that I have lived in vain when I think about it.

And whether it's the Phantom or Weinstein, they can't hide any intentions from others, because the independent producer or investor of the film will release the news and hype it, so that they can bargain more and attract more attention. So they don't have any scruples.

"The movie 'Untouchable' is good." Harvey first agreed, and then frowned: "But the price is already a little high, 5 million?" It's not worth the price, although we value it very much, but the first thing to consider is the income. ”

"5 million?" Li Donglai also frowned slightly, "It's really a lot." ”

Olivier obviously didn't expect this situation, and said urgently: "The cumulative number of viewers of the movie in France has exceeded the record of nearly 20 million people, and even surpassed "Titanic" to become the new French box office champion. The investment in this film is more than 10 million, and the copyright fee of 5 million US dollars is really nothing. It's not very attractive to us. The low price is 10 million, and I prefer to get a share, if you really want to buy it, you don't need to give me an advance payment to give me a reasonable box office share. ”

The request made both of them frown, and the last thing the distributor wanted to talk about with the filmmakers was. I'm afraid it's the box office share. What the future holds, who can say? Maybe it can accidentally become a blockbuster like "Ghost Shadow", and maybe it will become a typical example of whether it is popular or not.

But everyone wants to block it.

Li Donglai said: "Admittedly, as you said. It has achieved a box office of 19.385 million in France, but it has already consumed too much energy in France. After all, it is a non-English film, and it will be released overseas until next year. Who can say how much heat there is left. ”

He broke through the actual number of moviegoers in France, which made Olivier a little embarrassed. Obviously, Li Donglai did not come without the slightest preparation.

"Although we are opponents, I have to say that I agree with you." Harvey Weinstein nodded appreciatively and said with a smile: "Our Weinstein Company has already operated many word-of-mouth masterpieces, what if I say that I can help your film win the Olympics next year?" ”

Olivier and Olivier looked at each other. Somewhat exciting.

Li Donglai smiled and said, "Chongao? Get nominated and then slip back in the dust? ”

"Haha, Lee. I understand that you have failed to win the Best Director twice, but even if you only get a nomination, it is a great honor for the director. ”

Li Donglai smiled: "If this is also a bargaining chip, then our phantom also has the ability to do so." ”

Harvey sensed the crisis, turned on the smear mode, and said with a smile: "It won't be just a casual talk." That's not good, Lee. The Olympic bid is a big dream for filmmakers, and you shouldn't joke like that. ”

"No, Harvey." Li Donglai took a long time to say: "Only you, who are so ill-informed, will think that I am joking." Ang Lee's new work and Steven Spielberg's new work are both Phantom's preparations for next year's Olympic Games, although they haven't finished yet, but I'm confident that they will appear at the Oscars, what do you think? ”

Harvey's smile froze.

In 2010. The young man missed the first Oscar, and then he said to everyone that I would be back next year. As a result, in 11 years, he won the Golden Globe Award for Best Director for the youngest person, and he was a strong contender for the Oscar for Best Director.

I don't know why, I heard Li Dong say this sentence "what do you think". Harvey immediately thought of this history. His face suddenly became gloomy. Looking at Olivier, who was still watching the two raise the price of each other, he said decisively: "You have succeeded, I have increased the price!" 10 million, which is already a very high price, but you have to give up the box office share. Because it's rude to ask for a share of the box office. ”

Olivier was a little excited, but he could still hold on.

Li Donglai groaned: "10 million? For Weinstein, that's a lot of money. Olivery, you don't have to look at the two of us fighting to the death. 10 million for me, there is no pressure, how much they give, I give as much as I give. And promised to do his best to help the film rush to the Olympics. Although it seems silly. ”

Olivier Nakash and Eric Toranda were a little embarrassed, and the two people sitting in front of them were not ordinary people. Their thoughts, the two of them are clear.

Harvey frowned, "12 million, this is the final price!" Weinstein has a habit of rushing to the Olympics, so think about it. ”

Li Donglai also said simply: "I only give 10 million, and I can give you 3% of the pure overseas box office share." In addition, I need to buy and obtain all the film rights except France, including theatrical distribution rights, DVD distribution rights, etc. ”

“what？ You lunatic! Harvey jumped to his feet, shaking his head in anger, "Whoever doesn't have you in business is a madman." Hmph, then I wish you success in gold panning, I won't accompany you. (To be continued)
