Peng Chen took a plane to Shencheng on the afternoon of July 15.

In addition to Li Xin, the manager of the Ministry of Commerce, He Yuan and Liu Wei of the Ministry of Commerce, there is also a lawyer Jiang from Bojun Law Firm.

This lawyer Jiang is a returnee with a doctor of law, and has a high status in the law firm, second only to Fu Bojun. If it was an ordinary person, Fu Bojun would send a trainee lawyer at most, but Lin Changqing personally went to the door to beg for it, and Lao Fu, who had been with Lin Changqing for decades, still sent Lawyer Jiang over with great face.

It was already 5 o'clock in the afternoon when I got off the plane.

The person who came to pick up the airport was Zhao Bin's assistant Wang Qiang, who drove a Buick business car, which was very low-key. Shencheng Airport was full of people, Wang Qiang held up a sign outside the airport, and saw a group of young people in suits and leather shoes coming from a distance.

"Hello Mr. Wang."

Peng Chen stepped forward and shook hands with Wang Qiang: "I am Peng Chen, the general manager of Mingran Technology, Li Xin, He Yuan, and Liu Wei of the Ministry of Commerce. This is our company's legal counsel, Mr. Jiang, a returnee. ”

Hearing Peng Chen's introduction, Wang Qiang glanced at Lawyer Jiang in surprise. As Zhao Bin's personal assistant, Wang Qiang still has some understanding and contact with the relatively powerful technology companies in China, when he first heard Mingran Technology, he was sure that he had not heard of it, so he did some homework, and checked the company's information on the Internet, and the official website of industrial and commercial enterprise management showed that this company was only a small company with a registered capital of 500,000. When he found this, Wang Qiang was very puzzled. Because according to normal logic, it is impossible for this kind of small company to attract Zhao Bin's attention, and he also sent his personal assistant over.

In the past, even if it was to pick up customers, it was the following people who did it for them. As for the big customers, Mr. Zhao usually comes over in person, and he rarely sends him to make a special trip, so Wang Qiang is still very curious about why Mr. Zhao is interested in such a small company.

However, when I saw Lawyer Jiang, I was sure that I might have lost my eyes. He originally thought that this small company could catch Mr. Zhao's line, either because it did have some skills, or because the leather bag company came to cheat money, so he deliberately brought a scrutinizing eye over to see what kind of details this company was.

I didn't expect that the other party would not only be able to catch Mr. Zhao's line, but his strength seemed to be good. There is also a dedicated legal advisor, a returnee doctor. This cannot be faked, because the information of registered lawyers can be checked, and there are only so many lawyers in the country, and even fewer are on the job.

Peng Chen naturally didn't know that because of Lawyer Jiang's arrival, Wang Qianggao glanced at him. How did he know that in 2002, it was rare for a company to be able to have a legal adviser and be able to have a legal counsel follow him personally. Because in this era, there are only more than 70,000 lawyers in the country, and there are even fewer law firms. Anyone who cooperates with the firm is a big business boss, because only they can afford to pay the consulting fee ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, which is just a consultation, and if the lawyer is required to help sign the contract all the time, the price will be higher. A business trip is tens of thousands, and the cost is very exaggerated, where can a small company afford it.

Of course.

Wang Qiang didn't know that Lawyer Jiang was sent for free by Fu Bojun in front of Lin Changqing, so when he faced Peng Chen, he was much more enthusiastic. I asked some information along the way, but Peng Chen was not so easy to deal with, he played a hand of Tai Chi, and easily fooled Wang Qiang.

Although he had a certain psychological preparation, when he arrived at Zhao Bin's company, Peng Chen was still shocked. I thought that the peach wood covered three floors, with a total area of 3456m2, was already a big deal, but when I saw Zhao Bin's company, I knew what it meant to be small.

In the place where every inch of land is at a premium in Shenzhen, Zhao's enterprise directly has a commercial building, more than 30 floors high, standing in the center of Kaitian District, Shenzhen, with a bird's-eye view of the whole city.

Peng Chen didn't know if this land belonged to the Zhao family, or if he bought it directly with a large amount of money. But either way, the value of the entire building will definitely not be able to run away from hundreds of millions. This is still in 2002, the average house price in Shenzhen is about 4000-5000. If it is 16 years later, the value of this building is even more immeasurable.

Under the leadership of Wang Qiang, the group came all the way to Zhao Bin's office on the 27th floor. Because of Lin Ming's relationship of borrowing 1 million to repay 5 million, Zhao Bin felt that he had taken advantage of Lin Ming, so he still attached great importance to the arrival of this negotiation team and personally took care of them.

"Mr. Zhao." As soon as Peng Chen entered, he immediately shook hands with Zhao Bin very familiarly, he hadn't actually seen Zhao Bin, but he also knew that Taomu's biggest shareholder was him, so he said very smartly: "I'm Peng Chen from Taomu's network department, so I'm also your subordinate." ”

"Oh?" Zhao Bin stood up and shook hands with him, glanced at him unexpectedly and said, "Is it a part-time job in Taomu or?" ”

"Full-time."

Peng Chen said: "Mingran Technology's office is also in Taomu, so I wear two hats. ”

"That's right." Zhao Bin smiled noncommittally at Peng Chentao's behavior, neither too enthusiastic nor too cold. Instead, he said: "The hotel has been booked for you, and tomorrow Wang Qiang will accompany you to apply for the relevant documents, and you can go out of the customs and go to Hong Kong City and Treasure Island." The situation over there has been more or less contact, and almost all the major record companies are willing to contact you to discuss cooperation, so you don't have to worry too much. It's just that you may not understand Cantonese in Hong Kong City, so I will send someone to take you there and act as an introducer and interpreter for both sides. Lin Ming attaches great importance to this cooperation, you don't have psychological pressure. ”

To go to Gangcheng and Baodao, you have to apply for relevant documents, Lin Ming does not have an ID card, although the user's mouth book can also be, but it is very troublesome, and you need to apply to your parents. Lin Changqing and Fang Lan would definitely not agree to him going, so Lin Ming couldn't go over.

Peng Chen nodded and said, "Okay, Mr. Zhao." ”

Zhao Bin sat in the boss's chair behind the desk, and his right hand kept turning the pen: "Today's arrangement is to let Wang Qiang take you to have a meal and recuperate." Wake up early tomorrow and do it. If the documents go well, you can go to Hong Kong City the morning after tomorrow to talk about this matter. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Zhao."

Peng Chen bent down and nodded to Zhao Bin gratefully: "Then we won't bother you." ”

After Peng Chen left, Zhao Bin put down his pen and looked out the window.

The subordinate Lin Ming is looking for is very good at talking, long-sleeved and good at dancing, which is very suitable for mixing in the mall.

But hopefully, he can do well in the negotiations.

The deep city outside the window is like a roc spreading its wings, and high-rise buildings are rising everywhere.

Since the reform and opening up, Shencheng has been the center of gravity of the economy and the top three big cities in China. can mix well in this kind of place, and the background of the Zhao family business is far from being comparable to a grassroots forest.

So, Lin Ming.

I'd like to see how you make me regret it.

.....．

.....．

10 p.m.

When Peng Chen tossed and turned in the room of a five-star hotel in Shencheng, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

Lin Ming, who was far away in Cloud City, was writing something on the computer in his room.

For Peng Chen's trip, Lin Ming was not worried about any problems. Instead, they were instructed to get more benefits in negotiations, such as the copyright authorization time, preferably more than 5 years, and even the right to use it in perpetuity, which is the best.

Because at that time, there were no music portals in China, and there was no so-called copyright war in later generations. The record company holds the copyright and is of little use.

If a company is willing to cooperate, make money from digital music, and then give it to record labels on a split basis, they will be more than happy to accept it.

In fact, with the advent of the era of digital music, there is already this model abroad, and this model should not be unfamiliar to the port cities and treasure islands that are at the forefront of the world. The two sides cooperate for a win-win situation, and there is no reason why they will refuse.

Lin Ming was writing something on the computer.

A script.

Originally, he wanted to write some songs and plans for Mingran Technology on the computer. But I suddenly remembered that hackers were rampant in that era, and hackers often stole the information of ordinary computer users, or used their computers as broilers, so Lin Ming did not put important things in the computer.

The script is different, he wrote it very professionally, it was written in the director's sub-shot format, without systematic learning, even if ordinary people can understand it, they probably can't shoot it, and they don't know the value contained in it, so they shouldn't pay too much attention to it.

On the computer is a word document, arranged by storyboard script in 9 grids, which are lens number, scene, technique, scene, screen, subtitles, music, costumes/props, and shooting progress.

And at the very top of the document, is the name of the document, the Crazy Stone storyboard.

As a professional writer, the whole script is well written.

"Crazy Stone" adheres to a multi-line narrative structure, that is, several narrative threads are carried out at the same time, telling a thing from different angles. Many people in later generations said that "Crazy Stone" plagiarized Guy Ritchie's "Two Big Smoking Guns", but it was actually because Chinese people did not understand multi-line narratives. Between these two stories, only the narrative structure is the same, and the content does not have any similarities, so there is no plagiarism. Because if you calculate it this way, "Pulp Fiction" also belongs to a multi-line narrative, so is "Two Big Smoking Guns" also plagiarizing "Pulp Fiction"? The two concepts are different, and the main thing is that the elements contained in them are completely different.

For example, when it comes to plagiarism, it is generally said that the soup is changed without the medicine.

But in "Crazy Stone", it belongs to changing the medicine but not the soup, and the soup is this narrative structure. And medicine is the content of the story, which makes the intricate relationship between the characters clear, and what is presented to the audience is easy to understand, and it is something that Chinese people can laugh at a glance, which is more down-to-earth.

In "Two Big Smoking Guns", this medicine is much more complicated than "Crazy Stone", and many people don't even understand it the first time they watch it. I think this movie is very noisy and noisy, hulala and a bunch of people are calling around, and I don't understand.

That's the difference.

It's as if there was the first comedy in the world, and the later comedy, you can't say that it's plagiarized is a truth.

Of course, there will certainly be people who say that two large smoking guns surround two antique shotguns, and that crazy stones also surround an emerald stone. Whether it is the storyline design or the suspense comedy setting between the two, there are similar plots, and it is definitely possible to talk about plagiarism.

However, this is naturally the opinion of the benevolent and the wise, and it is normal for everyone to have different opinions and different views.

But it can't be denied.

"Crazy Stone" is indeed a low-cost classic, with a cost of only more than 3 million, but it collected more than 20 million yuan at the box office, which has increased seven or eight times. As a reborn of the choreography and directing profession, if you don't use it to make a piece of the pie, it will be too sorry for the major that you have studied hard for many years in your previous life.
