Chapter 101: Make It into a Movie
Several people soon came to Yang Xiao's house, and Yang Xiao found the manuscript of 007's golden finger from a stack of manuscripts and placed it in front of Steve. And both Steve and Jack looked at the stack of manuscripts, their eyes shining.
If they are all works like Goldfinger as Yang Xiao said, they are all high-quality works. The stack of manuscripts was so valuable that they were a little worried about it sitting in a cabinet as usual.
Steve took the manuscript handed over by Yang Xiao and looked at it, it was all written in Chinese characters, and it instantly turned into a bitter gourd face. Yang Xiao slapped his head and forgot that Steve was an American.
Fortunately, Jack has worked in Hong Kong for many years and is quite familiar with Chinese. He took it and read it, and translated it into English for Steve, which also saved Yang Xiao the trouble.
Yang Xiao also took the opportunity to introduce Qingyun, Qingfeng, and Qingyue to his parents, and briefly talked about their origins and master's intentions. Qingfeng, Qingyun, and Qingyue also kowtowed and thanked them, which made Yang's father and Yang's mother very happy, and there were two more righteous sons and one righteous daughter.
The Yang family has been imported, and Yang's father and Yang's mother are going to prepare a sumptuous banquet at home. Qingfeng, Qingyun, and Qingyue were originally orphans, but now they have a stepfather and mother, and they are very moved, and they are held by their adoptive mothers and chatting non-stop.
Seeing Yang's mother's love overflowing, Yang Xiao withdrew from their chat and came to Jack and Steve. Jack and Steve have finished watching Goldfinger. Steve's face glowed red, and he looked very happy. Yang Xiao felt more confident when he saw him like this.
Steve said a little excitedly, "Mr. Yang's 007 is very good, I must make it into a movie and show it to my lovely audience." ”
Yang Xiao nodded, "I agree with Mr. Steve. ”
"Mr. Yang, when can I get the script? It's easy to talk about the remuneration. Steve knew that Yang Xiao was a screenwriter himself, so he didn't talk any more nonsense and asked the core questions directly.
Yang Xiao didn't answer Steve's question directly, but looked at Jack and said, "Jack should know my routine. ”
Puzzled, Steve looked at Jack, who coughed.
"That's right, Steve. Whether Mr. Yang writes scripts or songs, he will get income in the form of shares. ”
"Shared? This is the treatment of a first-class screenwriter, and it should be no problem for me to fight for it. Steve turned his head and asked Yang Xiao again. What percentage does Mr. Yang want to share? ”
"A 5% share after the release, including the revenue from the external sale of videos and peripherals." Steve thought about it for a moment, and the request was a little more than he expected.
But he really likes the work 007, especially if it can form a series. There are fragrant car beauties, exciting humor, gunfights, so many best-selling elements, there is no reason not to be popular.
"I personally agree with your plan, but I need to get permission from the company." Yang Xiao nodded in understanding.
"Can I take this Goldfinger manuscript with me?" Steve asked tentatively, because the author of this work has not yet been registered, and the copyright has not been protected.
"Yes. However, I can sign a power of attorney with Mr. Jack to authorize him to register with the Copyright Office, including the script, of course, because I have worked with Jack. Yang Xiao did this with his own considerations.
On the one hand, Jack understands his talent for music creation, and he definitely doesn't want to offend Yang Xiao because of a work, but Jack still hopes to deepen his cooperation with Yang Xiao. On the other hand, Yang Xiao doesn't know much about Steve's personality, and he needs to handle this matter through Jack, after all, there has been a period of cooperation.
In addition, when he first went to Yang Xiao's house to pick up the manuscript, Yang Xiao also deliberately displayed his works to show his strength. Seeing Steve's greedy gaze, Yang Xiao felt that he would make a deep impression on them.
Steve nodded in understanding, and at the same time deepened his impression of Yang Xiao. Yang Xiao's thinking is not like a high school student at all, and he thinks very carefully. "I'm looking forward to Mr. Yang's script."
"Thank you, Mr. Steve, for your trust in Ender for two days. I'm sorry I won't be able to spend the next few days with you, but my friend will walk around with you. ”
"No problem, Mr. Yang."
At this time, there were still few foreigners in the county town of Ande, and he handed over the glorious task of accompanying the two foreigners to Director Han. As for whether Director Han can talk about something from it, it depends on Lao Han's ability.
When Lao Han received the two foreigners, he secretly stretched out his thumb to express his acceptance of Yang Xiao's favor. After all, a little good overseas relations are very beneficial to the government's work, and the reception tricks are naturally arranged by the Korean Bureau.
Two days later, Yang Xiao came to the hotel again and handed the script to Steve. Steve was very happy when he received the script, and after Jack's translation, he carefully read it page by page. Yang Xiao poured himself a glass of water, lit a cigarette, and slowly waited for Steve.
It took more than two hours for Steve and Jack to finish the script. Steve patted the script with his hand, a look of aftertaste. "The opening shot is novel in design, the protagonist is accurately positioned, witty and humorous, and can always save the day.
The heroine can be a gang girl, a sexy stunner, the plot is tense and exciting, the design is bold, I like it very much, and there is no problem in making it into a series. "Steve collected a few words of praise to praise the script.
Yang Xiao nodded lightly while listening, and thought to himself, "This Steve may be a good director, but he is definitely not a qualified negotiator. ”
Steve was very excited when he said he was excited, "This script is a rare and excellent work, if Time doesn't agree to shoot it." Please rest assured Mr. Yang, I will seek other capital to ensure the filming of this film. ”
"Thank you, Mr. Steve, for your evaluation, I think my conditions, Mr. Jack, have already talked to you."
Steve said confidently, "Yes, Mr. Yang." I think this condition is acceptable to Times Pictures, and I would highly recommend it to the board. ”
Yang Xiao stood up at this time and stretched out his hand, "Then thank you, Mr. Steve, I'm waiting for good news." ”
Steve also stood up and held out his hand at the same time, "Happy cooperation!" ”
Director Han and Yang Xiao personally sent Jack and Steve to the airport, watching the plane slowly rise into the sky, Director Han turned to Yang Xiao and said. "Where did my brother fool these two foreigners, it's very cute."
Yang Xiao turned his head to look at Director Han, and said in his heart, those two guys must not have anything to do with cuteness. On the other side of the ocean, he is a × figure in the entertainment industry, and if he doesn't have something, he will be a passer-by in the eyes of others. But I can't talk about it in detail with the Han Bureau, as if I'm showing something.
"Han Ju, you have wronged me. Brother, I ate by my ability, and those two foreigners took the initiative to come here from the port city. ”
