Chapter 429: Follow-up Questions (1)
If they could, no one would want to go against Time Warner.
But now, on the one hand, the attention of the Chinese government departments, and on the other hand, the pressure from Warner. Everyone knows how to choose.
What's more, this kind of feeling of helping foreign companies to attack a developing industry in China is unbearable for them.
"If you reject me, you will reject Mr. Steve Case!" Li Kebao's voice was cold, "That one is the real top level of Warner, which determines whether a film can reach the top!" ”
"Oh? I always thought that whether or not I could reach the top was determined by the quality of the film. Lin Xiao said indifferently.
Li Kebao glanced at the crowd and suddenly smiled, "Europe and the United States are the largest film warehouses in the world." If you don't get good results in Europe and the United States, you will never be able to go on the international road. ”
"I'll give you one more chance, get on Warner's boat, we're still partners."
"Partner? Not a puppet? Qin Zhong sneered, "Don't threaten me, I really haven't been threatened a few times." ”
"My dawn is still used to having my last name." Lin Xiao said, "The style of European and American surnames in the back is very awkward to pronounce. ”
"Twisted melons are not sweet." Chu Yiming also said.
"Good." Li Kebao glanced at the three of them and stood up, "There is an old Chinese saying, called toasting, not eating, eating and punishing wine. My proposal is valid until the film is released. ”
"Otherwise." His gaze was like a knife, "European and American markets, don't try to have a point!" And your 'masterpiece' will be included in the Hollywood Golden Sour Plum Awards. Congratulations, winning this award for a Chinese-language film will surely add a lot of fun to Hollywood. ”
"In addition, your films, in the future, you will only eat the Chinese market. Otherwise, once it lands in Europe and the United States, it will be sniped by the entire Warner Empire! Don't leave a single theater! Any one! ”
"Let's go!"
Li Kebao, who was furious, his arms were trembling, if it weren't for his excellent cultivation, I am afraid that the moment the 100 million yuan check was put into the trash can, he would have started with a few people.
Of course, it may have something to do with his weakness.
At the moment when Li Kebao went out. Li Qiangrose, who was looking for the check, stood up, put the check she found in her mouth, and actually smiled at the three of them.
"Mr. Lin, please forgive President Li's anger."
"I understand, I'm afraid anyone who sees 100 million yuan thrown into the trash can will be angry. Especially if you take it out yourself. Qin Zhong said lightly.
"Still, I think we still have a chance to work together."
With that, she also left.
"This woman, suggesting to us, isn't she from Steve Case's faction? Or do you want to help your boss round the field? Lin Xiao rubbed his chin, revealing his thoughts, "I am not worried about the box office of the painted skin at all." Europe and the United States are not the focus of the strategy at all, and Asia is enough for us to return to our capital. ”
"But it will make a great enemy of life and death because of this." Chu Yiming answered, "The painted skin is just one film, if you want to rush to the world, according to what Li Kebao said, all future films with Warner are mortal enemies." And it's going to be a blockbuster battle. ”
"Forget it, ignore that." Lin Xiao stretched his waist, "Let's go, let's drink, I'll have a treat today." ”
"Still in the mood for a drink? Think about how to deal with Time Warner? This film has been signed, and they don't know how many stumbling blocks they will make. Chu Yiming snorted, "Come on, I'll go first, there will be more trouble later, and I have to tell my family about this matter immediately." I'm sure you're okay. ”
He left Dawn, and only Lin Xiao and Qin Zhong were left in the house.
"What? Regret losing too much? Qin Zhong quipped, "As soon as we signed just now, we had everything." Even if you are unhappy at home, you can immigrate to the United States. ”
"Your family will let you emigrate? Besides, what are you going to do in the United States? Drowned in the vast sea of Hollywood? Lin Xiao patted him on the shoulder, "Let's go, make such a big enemy, and the foreign market will be busy in the future." However, I don't want to be confined to the country. ”
Just as they were about to open the door, a young man in a white shirt with an urgent face was already standing at the door.
"Please stay!" As soon as he opened the door, the young man shouted violently.
Lin Xiao: They didn't even step out of the door.
"You are?"
"Secretary to the Minister of Guangying, Cao Lin." Although the young man was eager, the etiquette was meticulous, "Please sit down for a while, Vice Minister Wang and Vice Minister Zhao of the Ministry of Film and Television are on their way." ”
Said yes, please, his body didn't get out of the way.
"Sure enough, it came." Lin Xiao sighed, since the analysis was clear, they knew that the other party would definitely be eager to come over.
To know what Time Warner really wanted, they had to start digging with the first person they came into contact with.
And they are wondering, speculating whether this is the fulcrum of Time Warner's intention to move the Chinese market, and this speculation makes these people who usually hold power give up their identities and come to Dawn.
In less than ten minutes, Wang Guohui, vice minister of the Guangying Department, who had a one-sided relationship, walked in.
His face was serious, and as soon as he came in, his eyes fell on Lin Xiao and Qin Zhong.
Behind him, there were five men and women, who were also middle-aged, each with eagerness on their faces.
"What did Li Kebao say to you just now? What was promised? I'd like your two CEOs to tell us all. Wang Guohui spoke, tilted his head and said, "Let me introduce, this is Deputy Minister Zhao of the Ministry of Broadcasting, Film and Television, this is Deputy Director Gou of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and this is Ms. Xu, Director of the Department of Broadcasting and Filming, this ......."
He briefly introduced that everyone is one of the components that grasp the lifeblood of domestic films.
Even Qin Zhong's heartbeat accelerated when he heard it.
"We're here together to hear the answer to our guess." Vice Minister Zhao said with a cold face: "I hope the two of you can tell us clearly and authentically!" ”
"You may be seated." Lin Xiao politely invited everyone to sit down and said, "Actually, it's nothing, he came to us to cooperate." ”
Everyone's eyes looked at each other slightly, and they secretly said in their hearts, sure enough!
"Lin Xiao, you are a very promising artist, and you can be described as the most successful artist in the past five years." Ms. Xu's voice was indifferent, but with obvious majesty and threat: "You have to understand one thing first. ”
"Their cooperation can't be fair. All they want is your name. And to produce a kind of gold absorption effect, by praising you, so that companies of all sizes across the country can see the results of cooperation with Time Warner. Thus producing a puppet Chinese film and television Godzilla! Her eyes were like knives, fixed on the faces of the two, "If you agree, you are sinners in the history of the Chinese film and television industry!" Death is hard to blame! ”
"China's film and television industry is developing, and it needs to be introduced rather than controlled." Deputy Director Gou also said solemnly, "You are still young, don't be blinded by temporary interests." If there is a great turmoil in China's film and television industry because of this incident, you are the culprit! ”
Wang Guohui sighed, his tone was calm but firm, "If three years later, I will let you cooperate with them with confidence, even if it is a puppet, it doesn't matter." But not right now! Absolutely not in the past few years! ”
His eyes were deep, "If you do it, you are challenging the entire Chinese film and television industry, challenging the Ministry of Film, the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, and the Film Department!" We're going to make it absolutely impossible for you to shoot in this circle anymore. ”
"If you know how to make trade-offs, I promise, what they give you, the Guangying Department can still give it to you." Vice Minister Zhao went on to say, "China is your root, and if you help foreign countries to give China a ...... at this juncture."
He didn't finish speaking, and the consequences were self-explanatory.
All eyes were on them, apparently waiting for their answer.
Lin Xiao smiled, the big guy in this room, he usually can't see it at all, at best, Wang Guohui helped him settle his girlfriend's scandal after signing him, but now, he came here by accident.
He was very touched that this group of talents is people who really care about the Chinese film and television industry, not a corpse vegetarian meal.
"He gave us a check."
His voice rang out, and everyone's hearts hung in the air. Listen quietly to what he is saying.
"A check for more than 100 million."
"Bang dang." There was a broken voice in everyone's heart.
One hundred million...... Also above......
That's unimaginable numbers!
At the beginning of 03, when the per capita salary was only more than 3,000 yuan, 100 million was enough for a family to work tirelessly for dozens of lifetimes!
"100 million ......" Vice Minister Zhao felt a pain in his nerves, and he couldn't say anything he wanted to say in the end, so he could only mumble and repeat.
This number, like a planet crashing into their minds.
Wang Guohui took several breaths before he faded the abnormal flush on his face, and said in a slightly trembling voice, "Retreat...... Go back! ”
"Now in China, they can't dig Zhang Yimou, they can't dig Feng Xiaogang, and they can't dig Chen Kaige...... And you were chosen by them as a fulcrum, and you agreed...... It was given them the bridgehead for the Normandy landings! ”
Ms. Xu felt a sore throat and blushed for a few seconds before she said, "Go back...... This is not an artist who really loves Chinese film and television, as an ......"
"yes...... Kobayashi ...... Money is good...... But it is the entire film and television industry that is sold...... You, you can't do that! ”
The atmosphere was smashed by 100 million two words.
was severely criticized just now, but he was suddenly beaten by this astronomical figure.
Everyone was talking in a hurry, and although they were blushing and embarrassed, they still persuaded him.
The 100 million in hand to withdraw? How much perseverance and determination does it take?
This money can turn creatures from angels to demons!
Not to mention in front of a young man who is only twenty-three years old!
This kind of naked temptation, they are afraid that someone will force them with a knife to look away, but now they want two young people who are dozens of years younger than themselves to eat it and then spit it out?
Comparing hearts to hearts, how can they be embarrassed to say it?
However, Lin Xiao's next sentence made everyone almost jump.
"Then, I threw the check in the trash."
Silence, death-like silence. It's as if the Big Bang is too loud and there is no sound.
The shock was too big for them to think it was a scam!
