131- Cooperation

As for the third "Super Runaway 2", Chen Chen is ready to make another attempt at the ability of the USB flash drive.

In a box in a five-star hotel in Los Angeles, Chen Chen sat on a seat casually, tapping on the laptop in front of him.

There seemed to be sandalwood in the room, but when he smelled these smells, Chen Chen inevitably frowned.

After a while, there was a soft knock on the door of the private room.

"Please come in."

Chen Chen didn't raise his head, but said lightly.

Suddenly, two good-looking waitresses walked in.

One of them carried a silver platter with a bottle of Romanée-Conti, and the other with several polished crystal vessels.

"Sir, the wine you want."

The older waitress politely said, "Do you need to open it for you now?" ”

"Open it, but when the person I've invited comes, remember not to pour me wine, just add water to my glass." Chen Chen said without raising his head.

"Yes."

Although Chen Chen's request was a little strange, at most it was only attributed to the quirks of the rich, and the waiter who had undergone strict training did not hesitate to do so.

As the twenty-one-year-old wine was opened, the room was filled with a rich aroma – not one of the cheap knockoffs in the bar, but the real Romanée-Conti 2002.

This is one of the 6,100 bottles of wine produced by Romanée Conti in that year.

After pulling the cork, the older waiter expertly observed the wine inside under the light to make sure that the sediment had not floated up, and then slowly poured the wine into the decanter.

Suddenly, a ruby-like liquid flowed out of the bottle, emitting a magnificent color under the reflection of the overhead light......

Exquisite carpets, ornate crystal chandeliers, and the resplendent décor of the room, combined with the rich and intense aroma of wine, all paint a picturesque dreamscape.

However, just as the waiter was carefully pouring the red wine, a messy footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and Chen Chen raised his head.

In the next second, there was a knock on the door of the box again.

"Please come in."

Without Chen Chen's reminder, another waiter opened the door of the box, and at this time, two men of European and American descent were standing outside the door.

"Romanée Conti, my God, I can't be in the wrong box, right?"

The two men were not very old, thirty-five or sixteen at most, and as the two entered the box, one of them whistled, "This smell can't be wrong, let me guess what year this is, 10 years?" 08 years? ”

"It's '02."

Chen Chen stood up from his seat, "It is true that I invited you, and the two of you did not go to the wrong box." ”

"Josh Trunk." One of the grinister men shook Chen Chen's hand, "The 2002 Romanée Conti is not cheap, you are so polite." ”

"It's nothing, the reason why I chose this year is just because I was born in this year."

Chen Chen shrugged his shoulders and turned his head to look at the other horse-faced man, "You are Mr. Max Landis, you have long admired the great name." ”

"Thank you." The other horse-faced man was visibly absent-minded.

After pouring the wine into the decanter, the waiters served the fruit bowl again and withdrew, leaving room for the three.

"I'm sure you two already know why I'm inviting you here."

Chen Chen took out a contract from the table and handed it to the man who was grinning, this man was none other than the director of the Super Runaway movie, Josh Trunk.

After reading this contract, Trunk couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and then handed it to the horse-faced man on the side, that is, the screenwriter who was super out of control, Max Landis.

Judging from Chen Chen, it is obvious that the relationship between the two is not very good, and it can even be said that they are a little hostile, but at this time they are just maintaining their superficial politeness.

After handing the contract to Landis, Trunk smiled, "It's amazing that you're willing to spend tens of millions of dollars to buy the rights to a movie from that vampire at Fox Films, which is already comparable to an investment in a movie, does it have so much potential in your heart?" ”

"I just love this movie so much."

Chen Chen said solemnly, "When I saw this movie for the first time, I was amazed by it, because it covered almost all my childhood dreams, so I have been looking forward to the day when it can make a second part." ”

"So when you learned that the results were hopeless, you started the idea of investing in your own shooting?" Trunk added with a smile.

Chen Chen nodded and personally poured wine for the two of them, "Although the decanting time is not enough, it is almost ready to taste......

The two took the goblet and thanked them.

"I believe that for the two of you, this film is like your child," Chen Chen continued, "Although I have bought the rights now, if I can choose, I still hope that the second part will still be handled by the two of you." ”

As he spoke, Chen Chen took out the two contracts again and handed them to the two of them respectively, "Mr. Trunk, this time I will invest 100 million US dollars in the pre-shooting of the movie, if it is not enough, you can add more, as for the salary, I will pay you an additional 10 million US dollars, this money can be received at any time, no matter what the final box office of the movie is, as long as you do your best, it is enough." ”

"As for Mr. Landis."

Chen Chen looked at the horse-faced man, "As the screenwriter of this movie, the price I offer you is three million, you only need to make up an excellent story in the framework I gave, can you do it?" ”

The two glanced at each other when they heard this, and they were a little surprised by Chen Chen's handwriting, and the price given by Chen Chen was almost the price of first-line directors and screenwriters in Hollywood.

"I'm very satisfied with the price, as long as there are no other special requirements, there is no problem on my side." Trunk said briskly.

"Wait......"

However, Landis on the side muttered, "What you just said about giving the framework means that I can't be original?" ”

"Yes."

Chen Chen nodded and said solemnly, "I will give a rough framework, such as the beginning and ending of the second part, you can fill in the framework with appropriate details, but you can't violate it." ”

When Landis heard this, he fell silent.

Looking at Landis, who seemed to be struggling in his heart, Chen Chen took a sip of water for a long time, and did not make any persuasive moves.

The reason why he hired the two again was just to add an extra layer of insurance.

Since the first part filmed by the two of them can be put into a USB flash drive, now that the director, screenwriter, and even the leading actor remain the same, the second part should also be accepted by the USB flash drive...... Right?

As for Landis's inner struggle, Chen Chen actually knew it.

As early as ten years ago, Landis suffered a similar loss, when "Super Out of Control" became popular all over the world, he originally wrote the script for the second part, but the plot of the second part was too dark, and the filmmaker was worried about affecting the box office, so he asked him to revise it.

However, the stubborn Landis was reluctant to change any plot, which eventually angered the producers and kicked him out of the crew.

"It's time to get more mature, Landis."

Trunk on the side suddenly sighed, although he despised Landis's style of life, but in the face of this talented old partner, Trunk still reminded him.

Hearing Rank's persuasion, the struggle in Landis's eyes slowly faded, and he raised his head with a dejected expression, "Understood, I will do what you ask......"

"Good."

Chen Chen applauded when he heard this, and then picked up a glass of water and raised it in front of the two, "Then the cooperation is happy?" ”

The two also picked up the red wine and lightly struck each other, "Happy cooperation." ”

After the three of them met, the atmosphere was obviously much more eager, Chen Chen opened the notebook on the side again, and said to Landis, "Mr. Landis, then tell me about the original setting of the movie, I will decide the next plot according to the original setting." ”

"Do you want to make up a story framework?" Both of them were stunned for a moment.

"That's right, that's my wish." Chen Chen smiled.

"Well, if you insist."

Landis scratched his head, "Actually, after so long, many of the ideas of the year have been blurred, please allow me to sort it out from the beginning......"

As he spoke, Landis drank all the red wine from the goblet, then poured himself another glass for himself, and said slowly for a long time, "This story still starts with that extraterrestrial crystal......
