Just when the two unlucky guys, Dennis and Adella, were preparing to tinker with the sequel to "Blair the Witch", Yi Feiyang, who was on the cusp of the limelight, received a call from Mr. Gusta of Lionsgate, saying that he had something to talk to him about.

Having said that, Mr. Gusta was both surprised and delighted during this time. The good news is that "Blair the Witch" is a box office momentum, and it has swept the US dollar in North America and overseas markets, and Lionsgate's fame has increased significantly, as Yi Feiyang said before, and its popularity has increased significantly, and even the old companies such as MGM and Paramount have to take a look at their "little brother". To Gusta's surprise, the box office really exceeded 200 million, which means that the previous agreement between him and Yi Feiyang on a box office of more than 200 million and a share of 30% came into effect.

This is an embarrassing thing for Gusta, who was born as a banker, not that Gusta feels sorry for the money, but that he has a wrong vision and loses to this young Chinese, which is absolutely intolerable.

However, Gusta is the big boss after all, and after thinking about it for a while, he still called Yi Feiyang and asked him to come over to discuss the following contract matters.

When Yi Feiyang arrived at Gusta's president's office, Gusta just hung up a phone and motioned for Yi Feiyang to sit casually, then got up and walked to his wine cabinet and took a bottle of champagne from Bordeaux, France.

"Dear Yi, come, let's have a good celebration." With that, Gusta handed Yi Feiyang a glass of champagne.

"The success of this drama, you also saw that, as you expected, the North American box office and overseas box office just exceeded 200 million. If the current situation continues, I estimate that the total box office may reach 260 million. The share of our Lionsgate company and the major theater chains is recognized by Hollywood as a four-six, that is, Our company can get 40% of the 260 million, which is about 100 million; if you remove the copy costs, publicity costs, and taxes collected by the government, there are about 80 million left; and you and I have signed an agreement before, if the box office breaks 100 million, we will share 15 percent of the dividend, if the box office can break 200 million, we will take 30 percent of the dividend, and now, if you win, you can get 30 percent of the 80 million, that is, 24 million US dollars. Congratulations, China, Yi, you're going to be a multimillionaire soon! ”

Gusta raised his champagne glass and gently touched it with Yi Feiyang.

Yi Feiyang was not as simple as Gusta thought, and asked: "This 24 million is estimated to be a promissory note, right?" When will I get my hands on it? ”

This sentence is the point, Lao Tzu is very short of money, but you only mention the number. Don't mention payment, isn't this a cheat? Take the money in your own hands, this is the last word!

Sure enough, Gusta smiled and said: "Dear Yi, I understand your desire to get a share as soon as possible, but things have to be done slowly, now the North American box office has almost been counted, but the overseas box office is still unknown, plus the theater share to be dealt with in the later stage, as well as government taxes and other issues, it will take a while, isn't it?" ”

"I can wait, but how long?"

"Why, dear Yi, do you need money so badly? If you need to, you can ask, I can help you pay a little bit first, after all, as friends, you have to help each other, don't you? ”

"Thank you, Mr. Gusta, thank you for your kindness, but I just want to get my money as soon as possible! Let's be honest, how long do I have to wait? "Yi Feiyang didn't eat him.

"Hehe, don't worry, dear Yi, although our company is not big, the work efficiency is still very high...... It's October, and I'll let you get it by Christmas at the latest. ”

"That means I'm going to have to wait another two or three months?"

"Yes, so to speak. Please believe me, I am from a bank, and I am most concerned about these things about accounts, if I change to other companies, it is estimated that I will have to wait for half a year! ”

Gusta's statement is not wrong, as a banker, he is very interested in the efficiency of capital circulation. The slow return of the box office is also a headache for him. However, Gusta knows more clearly that no matter how much money it is, he must hold it in his hands for a period of time, because this money can generate a lot of interest.

For example, this time, in fact, the North American box office amount has basically been settled, and the overseas box office has arrived in about half a month, but Gusta still plans to postpone the settlement of Yi Feiyang for a month or two, because the 24 million US dollars will bring him tens of thousands of interest during this time!

Money begets money, it is an eternal truth!

And Gusta, who is a banker, has already known this truth from the time he urinated on the kang.

Where does Yi Feiyang know the idea of the lion, even if you know the way, you are helpless, after all, many Hollywood film companies are like this, and postponing the account sharing is a magic weapon to alleviate the shortage of capital chain.

"How's that, easy, if you really need money, I can ...... privately"

Gusta offered to lend Yi Feiyang some money first, but Yi Feiyang refused again, "Thank you, Mr. Gusta." I think I'd better wait two months, after all, I don't think it's easy to spend my money, right? ”

"Okay, dear Yi, since you are so insistent, I won't force you, but if you have any situation, just tell me, no matter how you say it, we are also very good partners, I will try to help you." Gusta seemed very kind and cared about Yi Feiyang. But then, he changed the subject and said, "In addition, there is one more thing, dear Yi, I want to talk to you. ”

Yi Feiyang looked at the other party's somewhat strange expression, and suddenly felt uneasy.

"You know, dear Yi, some bad people in Hollywood like to follow the trend, often any drama is popular, they will make a sequel with great fanfare, in order to prevent this kind of now, I think it is necessary for us Lionsgate to shoot a sequel to "Blair the Witch" first, right?" Gusta took out a cigar and handed it to Yi Feiyang, who shook his head, indicating that he didn't like smoking cigars very much.

Gusta lit his cigar to himself, took a puff and said, "Well, how can I say it, it's a pleasure to work with you this time, but I wonder if you have any plans to start filming a sequel?" ”

"Shoot a sequel? Oh sorry, I haven't thought about it yet. Yi Feiyang told the truth.

"It's okay, I just have two friends to introduce to you." Gusta smiled and slapped his face, "Let them in!" ”

With Gusta's slapping, I saw Yi Feiyang's "old friends" Dennis and Edjado two brothers walk in.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, dear Yankee...... Oh no, it should be a big guide who broke 100 million! Dennis said in a sarcastic tone.

Mr. Gusta was visibly unhappy with Dennis's tone, "Please don't talk to dear Yi with this expectation, okay?" I hope you will be friends, not enemies. ”

Dennis shrugged, noncommittal.

Adjado smirked, "Yes, friend, we can be friends and work together to create a sequel to The Witch, but this time a guy can't pick it up again!" ”

Gusta was a little helpless, looked back at Yi Feiyang and said, "Now you should understand what I mean, right?" ”

Yi Feiyang took a deep breath, "In other words, the mysterious company that is ready to invite these two to shoot the sequel to "The Witch" is Lionsgate?" ”

"Yes, we are the so-called mysterious company...... I hope you can understand that I can't give the sequel to "The Witch" to another company to shoot! "It's like a lion's prey, it's impossible to share with other companies, I'm going to continue to do the brand "The Witch", yes, keep the box office and word of mouth, and we at Lionsgate will continue to rise!" ”

This time, Lionsgate relied on "Blair the Witch" to reap the biggest benefits, and Gusta's ambitions began to swell, he hoped to open Hollywood as quickly as possible and let his company rise rapidly.

"I understand your feelings, Mr. Gusta, and now, what do you want me to do?" After Yi Feiyang finished speaking, he pointed to Dennis and the two, "Play the clown with them, do you cooperate?" ”

"Oh no, specifically, you have experience in publicity, and they have experience in filming, and if you can assist them, I think the sequel to "The Witch" will definitely get twice the result with half the effort!"

Yi Feiyang smiled, "What did you say?" Let me assist them? ”

The two unlucky guys puffed up their chests and bellies, "What, you don't want to?" Don't forget, it was you who stole our work, and it was us, not you, who should have been famous! ”

"Hahaha!" Yi Feiyang smiled, "If even buying is stealing, then the whole United States is a paradise for thieves!" But until now, I'm skeptical of your IQ......"

"Damn it!"

"Damn!"

……

"That's it! All right! Don't make any noise! Gusta stopped, "I don't care what grievances you have, I hope you can write them off from now on!" Yes, a write-off! I put all my thoughts into filming the sequel to this drama, and I hope to be able to see this work in the shortest possible time! Understand, dear friend! Gusta said in a commanding tone, abandoning the kind expression he had just had.

Dennis and Adjado, who were still hanging, looked embarrassed and stopped talking.

Only Yi Feiyang smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gusta, I've always liked to work alone, and I don't like to work with people, especially with people like this, idiots......"

"Shit, what did you say?"

"Who is the idiot, what do you say?!"

……

Gusta had a headache, he had always been strategic, and there was nothing he couldn't control, but this Yi Feiyang made him feel for the first time what was uncontrollable.

"Okay, dear Yi, I already understand what you mean, but I hope you don't regret it, after all, you also have a lot of credit for the first play, I hope to be able to create another miracle with you!"

Yi Feiyang smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Gusta. But I'm not going to work with these guys! ”

"Damn, it's right that we don't cooperate with you!"

"Who do you think you are, damn the Chinese guys! If you hadn't lied to us, you wouldn't be so embarrassed! ”

……

"You've seen it, Mr. Gusta, we are hostile to each other, and we can't cooperate. Next time. Yi Feiyang turned around and wanted to leave.

Behind him Gusta said: "Dear Yi, I hope you will not regret it!" ”

Yi Feiyang paused slightly, understanding the meaning of Gusta's words, in Hollywood, there is no friendship, only interests.

Yi Feiyang took a deep breath, and then walked out.

Looking at his back, Gusta sighed, then turned back to Dennis and Adado and said in a deep voice: "I don't want to say anything more, I just want to tell you that if you really want to trample someone under your feet, this time, you must win, understand?!" ”

……

Yi Feiyang walked out of Gusta's president's office and met his "old acquaintance" ---- Director Mike in the aisle.

Director Mike couldn't hold his head up at the last time he was humiliated by Yi Feiyang, and he didn't have the slightest affection for this damn Chinese guy. If there is anyone in the world who wants Yi Feiyang to be hit by a car when he goes out, then there is no doubt that Director Mike is the first.

Seeing Yi Feiyang, Director Mike pretended to be enthusiastic and said, "Tsk, take a look, man, who is this?" Isn't that 100 billion director? Oh yes, look at my memory, as if that film was made by someone else, someone is just a despicable second-hand dealer! Hehe, the United States is really full of miracles now, any kind of person can be developed, and he can make tens of millions of profits by selling second-hand movies! ”

Yi Feiyang didn't bother to pay attention to the cynicism of Director Mike, who was about to pass by him. Then Mike leaned over again and said, "Aren't you surprised how those two fools you have deceived are here?" Tell you, they were hired by me, yes, it's me! I just want to see if this authentic sequel to "The Witch" can beat you as an imposter to the ground! How about it, are you interested in starting a new drama to fight with us? Let's see who is the real billionaire director and billionaire screenwriter?! ”

Director Mike laughed contemptuously, as long as there is Mr. Gusta's support, this sequel to "The Witch" will definitely sell well, as for this damn Chinese, let's go home and eat shit!

Looking at Director Mike's sinister and cunning face, and the villain's face, Yi Feiyang couldn't help but smile, approached him and said, "Do you know that you are the most annoying?" ”

Without waiting for Director Mike's answer, Yi Feiyang punched his fat belly, "It's your face, and your belly!" ”

"Whew!" Director Mike screamed, clutching his stomach and crouching on the ground.

"I didn't expect there to be such a lack of smoke in this world!" Yi Feiyang shook his head and left.

Director Mike was in the back, "Shit, you rough Chinese guy!" Die, oops! It hurts me! ”
