"I'm sorry, James, I don't like focus. ”

At the table in the corner of the paTIna restaurant, Ye Wei said with a smile, and Shams's expression suddenly changed, and he was surprised and anxious to say something.

But Ye Wei continued: "I had this decision a long time ago, and there is no focus in the end list of "Little Beauty". Focus will only regret and become a fool known to the whole world, about the judgment of the little beauty of the sun in the first place, to me. So, I'm not going to work with Focus. ”

"However, I can understand your feelings. Shams stopped his knife and fork and persuaded kindly: "The focus is on you first, you should be angry, who can not be angry? ”

Ye Wei said while eating the salad leisurely: "Seriously, if you said this half a year ago, I might have considered it, but now, I really don't lack choices." There are a lot of companies interested in investing in my new films, including Paramount, Fox Searchlight, and the scheduled Preton and DreamWorks, so why do I need focus?"

These words are true, and Brian has been very happy lately.

"I know......" Shams is not surprised, no matter which filmmaker, with the achievements of "The Wedding is Coming", it is not difficult to get millions of investments, let alone a unique prodigy idol with huge commercial value.

The little old man was still sincere, "My production experience and connections in the circle are not something that ordinary investment can give you." ”

"Yes, I think so too, James, I don't hate you. I hate focus, I hate David Lind, and you and I are friends, so I have an idea. ”

Ye Wei cut a small piece of fried egg with a knife, forked it up and ate it, drank the juice again, and was not in a hurry to continue.

"What's the idea?" Shams asked, sensing that the initiative had been taken away by the genius boy.

"You join the game, but it has nothing to do with Focus and Universal, you register another film company that belongs only to you, and use it to participate in the shares, so that you will have a share of any achievements of "Little Beauty of Daylight", and your experience and connections can also help me do better. ”

Listening to Ye Wei's confident words, Shams was stunned, does this young man want a win-win situation?

He said helplessly: "You know that I am the joint CPO of the focus, and it is my job to create Zào performance for the focus......"

"Just because you can't make other investments. Ye Wei shrugged his shoulders and smiled slightly, "Can't you make private investments?"

"Yes...... Yes," Shams replied.

It's normal for a filmmaker to have multiple production companies, like Spielberg, who is one of the owners of DreamWorks (founded in 1994, founders Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, David Geffen) and Amblelin Entertainment (founded in 19B1, founders Spielberg, Katherine Kennedy, Frank Marshall), and the two companies often make joint ventures, but not every time.

And because of financial problems such as investment and dividends, many times shell companies are more necessary, such as good machine qì, although it is part of the focus, but it does not disappear, it is also one of the producers of "Brokeback Mountain", because it involves his private investment.

The reason why he used the good machine qì instead of setting up a separate film company is because the good machine qì is a member of the Universal Group and does not have any risk of upsetting the board of directors.

He belongs to the focus, and if his private investment does not bring benefits to the world, it is almost tantamount to harming the interests of the company, so investing in Nikko Little Beauty is risky.

"How about a good opportunity?" Shams said in an agitated tone, "so that I can use the company's resources, otherwise I can't do anything." ”

"That can't be helped, no focus is my bottom line. Ye Wei was resolute, not ignorant of human feelings, and lobbied in turn: "I think you can explain it like this, David Lind messed up things, I'm angry, and you finally got my friendship and can participate in the production in a private name, the important thing is that you will continue to impress me, and the goal is to get the line of "Little Beauty in the Sunshine". ”

"Are you really going to give it to me, then?" Shams raised his eyebrows, it would be nice if he got the exercise......

It's a pity that Ye Wei shook his head with a smile, "No, but you did your best, it's all because Linde made too much of a mess before." At least you're the best person in the world with me, and you know how to manage relationships better than Linde. Besides, James, what do you have to lose now?"

"Huh. Shams couldn't help laughing at himself, picked up a piece of cabbage to eat, and had to admit that Ye Wei's words were reasonable, he was indeed in a bad situation now, and his status in the world was far behind Linde, although he had great confidence in "Brokeback Mountain", but several projects in Linde's hands were not bad.

And "Little Beauty of Daylight" may be a heavy blow to Linde, he said: "You are right, provided that "Little Beauty of Daylight" is successful. ”

"Dude, I have this faith. Even if you don't succeed, you're just losing a little bit of money. Ye Wei chewed the delicious egg white, "Of course, there is the worst, Lin De wins, you lose." ”

"Linde wins, I lose......" Shams muttered a few times, really mixed by the genius boy's words, "If that's the case, I won't be your producer." ”

His private investment in projects that have nothing to do with the company can only be like buying stocks, and it is impossible to put time and energy into them, and he is not allowed to do anything.

"It doesn't matter, as long as our friendship is there, we will have the opportunity to work together. Ye Wei's expression was amused, "If you want it this time, I can also give you the title of assistant producer." ”

"Haha" Shams laughed knowingly, who would have thought of the situation in front of him half a year ago?

Anyone will like to hang an assistant producer title in a genius film with a great chance of success like "Little Beauty in Daylight".

Ye Wei smiled again: "If I make a good movie and want to hit any awards, then I really need the help of your personal connections in public relations, and we are friends, I can also ask you if I have any questions, right, goodwill between friends." ”

"Yes. The more Shams looked at the young man, the more he felt that when he looked at a little fox, he had completely lost control of the dining table. He exhaled as if with a sigh, "How much can I buy?"

"O, this number is very suitable, if it is high, it will make the world feel that you are not pure. ”

Ye Wei shrugged his shoulders, the waiter served the food again, and after he left, he continued: "I don't think it matters how much, what matters is an opportunity, Linde loses, you win." That's it, James, it's up to you to decide whether you want to cooperate or not. ”

A smile changed on Shams's old face, and he sighed: "Ann is also worried that you are too young and will have to suffer a lot of losses in this industry to grow up, but obviously he is wrong......"

"He's right, my family and I have suffered a lot, and I've been trying to avoid bad things happening again. ”

Ye Wei cut the steak and said leisurely: "Like this kind of calculation, Judges, I don't always do this, I just want to give David Lind a little response, I don't like Lao Tzu's doctrine in this regard, I like an old scripture: an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth." enetbsp; This kid is terrible, Shams nodded silently, "I'll think about it......"

"It's best to hurry up and give me an answer, because it's just these days that we'll be announcing the Little Beauty project to the outside world. Ye Wei said.
