Chapter 233: Invest in the Cinema!
This world is, after all, a world of exchange of interests.
Cruelty......
The most selfless parents and children.
There is no denying true affection.
But how many parents take their daughters for a bride price, and how many parents think about raising their children to prevent old age?
Elaine is very sincere.
came all the way from France and found Zhang Sheng's film copyright.
But......
It's not enough to have people.
It has to be the sincerity of interests!
…………………………
"I want 50 percent of the shares!"
Midnight.
The wind was blowing outside the office building.
Elaine's fair and beautiful face is full of complexity.
Zhang Sheng's voice was calm.
Elaine trembled all over, as if she couldn't imagine that this apparently polite young man would be so ruthless.
Like a demon.
She was angry and helpless.
But, think about it.
It seems understandable.
It was the first time she met Zhang Sheng, and she took the initiative to come to the door, and Zhang Sheng didn't ask her for anything......
It's impossible to help her for no reason!
That's right, after Berlin, the copyright fees of "The Dog on the Other Side of the Mountain" in various countries will definitely make a lot of money......
Why did he give him an exclusive license?
In the whole of France, only Céru plays!
Why?
With her ideals, her persistence, and her sincerity that has come all the way?
Inadequate!
How can it be enough?
He's not her father!
In this foreign country, she is isolated and helpless, but unfortunately she has no chips to exchange with Zhang Sheng except for the copyright of the movie theater!
This cinema ......
And it's a movie theater that's about to go out of business.
"No! I can't, fifty can't! Elaine gritted her teeth, and she shook her head desperately.
"Every movie we [NC Entertainment] will have the right to be licensed to play in France, and there is, and only Cyrus!"
"No, Mr. Zhang Sheng, I ...... Your movie, I don't know if it will be popular in the future! ”
"Forty percent of the shares, in the future, the [Southern California International Film Awards] award ceremony can be at the Sairu Cinema!"
"Mr. Zhang Sheng, I know what kind of award [Southern California International Film Awards] is, but, forty shares, I can't accept it, I only have such a movie theater!"
"Thirty percent of the shares, the chairs in the cinema, we put on a new one, and even the redecoration and redesign of the cinema, we can take care of it all, you don't have to bother at all, and even, we can help you customize the decoration according to your wishes! All the costs are borne by us, you don't need a penny! Zhang Sheng squinted at Elaine.
His voice was still gentle.
But in the mildness, there was a momentum, and this momentum pressed Elaine into the corner, pressing her out of breath.
Her face turned pale, and she clutched at the corner of her clothes, her hands trembling.
Zhang Sheng's face got closer and closer.
"You said that your movie theater is very old, old, and will lose customers, and you want to renovate it, but you don't have the money to renovate!"
"There's never a free lunch in this world, Miss Elaine, I'll tell you from the heart, I don't have any interest in your old movie theater, it was once glorious, that's what it used to be......"
"I'm only interested in you......"
"From the first time I saw you, I felt a spirit of refusal to give up, and a soul full of charm......"
“……”
Zhang Sheng got closer and closer.
His voice was soft, as if a demon was muttering.
With a trance, unreal taste!
Elaine's heart was pounding, but she didn't dodge, just lowered her head, grabbed her clothes, and clamped her legs.
Nervous!
I was so nervous that I couldn't speak.
I even felt suffocated.
"Sometimes, I would like to be a witness, a witness to your success again, to become brilliant again, even more brilliant than your ancestors!"
"But ......"
"You don't have any capital right now!"
under the light.
Zhang Sheng's last sentence brought everything back to reality.
Elaine looked up in a trance, and then saw Zhang Sheng's demonic smiling face.
She wanted to calm down, but she was not a natural negotiator, she couldn't control her emotions, and she couldn't calm down.
"I, I'm going to think about ......"
"You have time to think about it, no one is forcing you, it's not early, you go to rest first, if you don't book a hotel, I'll help you book a hotel......"
Elaine did not respond.
She just sat down in her chair and looked at the office door.
It was a big night, and she didn't dare to go out of the office alone.
She turned her head and looked at Zhang Sheng again.
Zhang Sheng had an aura on her body that made her feel dangerous, vaguely like a bloodthirsty beast.
She finally instinctively shrunk and sat like a sculpture, motionless.
Time......
Again bit by bit.
This time, it's been a long time.
"Actually, I'm helping you ......"
I don't know how long later, she heard Zhang Sheng sigh faintly: "There is no interest binding, I dare not help you, in this world, the story of the farmer and the snake is really too much!" ”
"I will not betray!" Elaine bit her lip and shook her head.
"I would like to believe that everything you say at this moment is true, and I prefer to believe that we will work together happily in the future, but that is a gamble, and I don't want to bet!"
Elaine listened to Zhang Sheng's words.
She felt it made sense.
But letting her cut out 30 percent of the shares is tantamount to cutting meat.
However, if you don't cut the meat, will your own Sairu still be able to live?
It's on the verge of going out of business, and it needs a blood transfusion!
For Elaine, it was also a gamble.
She has a limited stack, and because she has a limited stack, she has a limited amount of what she can earn.
The world has always been about equivalent exchange.
She didn't speak, but sat all the time.
I sat until the early morning highlights, and I sat until the early morning, when the sun was rising......
Zhang Sheng leaned back in a chair with his eyes closed, as if he had fallen asleep.
Tiredness haunted Elaine's heart.
She finally lowered her head: "This may be the last gamble in my life......"
Zhang Sheng opened his eyes, as if he was not tired, but smiled: "I have seen a lot of gamblers, they bet on me, and then, they all won!" ”
Zhang Sheng took out a contract.
This contract seems to have been prepared a long time ago.
Elaine took the contract and found that it was in English, with the words "Cinema Acquisition Contract" written on it.
She was stunned!
He looked up at Zhang Sheng in disbelief.
"Sorry...... Got it wrong! ”
Zhang Sheng looked at the contract and realized that he had taken it out, so he took out another contract.
The contract is still in English.
The contract reads [*** Cinema Shareholding Contract]!
Elaine stared at Zhang Sheng: "Mr. Zhang Sheng, did you think about acquiring or investing in a movie theater a long time ago?" ”
"I love having everything ready!"
"When did you start preparing these contracts?"
"Do you want to hear the truth, or do you want to lie?"
"Tell the truth!"
"When 'That Summer' was going to be shown in some overseas movie theaters that were about to close down, I prepared ......"
Elaine looked at Zhang Sheng in shock: "Mr. Zhang, you ......"
"I was just preparing, but I didn't think about it, Miss Elaine, you would come to the door, so, just now, I kept thinking, maybe this is all fate!"
Elaine looked down and didn't look at Zhang Sheng.
This moment......
She couldn't tell whether what Zhang Sheng said was the truth or a lie.
She read the contract.
Signed his name.
After signing the sign, she felt more tired than ever, as if all her mental strength had been exhausted.
………………………………
Elaine slept in the hotel for a long time.
From February 2nd, I slept until February 4th.
February 4th.
The solar terms of China are spring.
Bright sunlight shone through the windows of the hotel.
She woke up from her sleep, had breakfast and left the hotel with a warm feeling.
After getting into a taxi and taking out the text that Zhang Sheng had prepared for her, the driver nodded and sent her downstairs to [NC Entertainment].
She walked upstairs ......
She found that NC Entertainment, which was originally empty, had changed drastically in just one day.
She saw workers wearing [NC Decoration] uniforms, installing tables and chairs.
She saw a brand new computer......
She saw that on the doors of each room, there were music departments, film and television departments, logistics departments, publicity departments, and business departments of Chinese and English departments......
At the same time, she saw people coming and going.
"Miss Elaine, you're awake, please come here!"
"Mr. Zhang Sheng, they are ......"
"They are my renovation company, and that night, I told you, I used to have a renovation company that was in debt, and now, it has survived! And just after we separated, I changed the [Hongyuan Decoration] to [NC] Decoration...... The decoration of our [Sailu] theater is this group of people, this way, I have hired a special designer......"
Elaine followed Zhang Sheng into the conference room.
She saw some strangers sitting in the conference room.
Zhang Shengyi helped her introduce these people one by one: "This is Mr. Qi Haifeng Qi of [Qi's Home], who used to build and design the stage of [Southern California International Film Awards], and is the ...... that [Qi's Home] is responsible for"
"This is Mr. Meng Shurong from [Oubang International], our integrated ceiling is very popular in Brazil, next to Mr. Meng Shurong is the designer of [Oubang International], we will tailor the "French Art" ceiling for the [Sairu] cinema! Now that the sketch has been designed, for this meeting, we will first confirm the rough renderings. ”
"This is Mr. Li Bin, the person in charge of our [NC Decoration], and next to him is Mr. Qiu Ye, the designer of our project......"
“……”
“……”
Elaine met with them one by one, and then sat down.
The next topic, everyone was talking in Chinese, and she listened at a loss.
I only heard the words "export to France", "French route", "French project", and "the task is in a hurry......
A couple of bosses seemed to be very excited and pulled a lot of things.
Then she saw the door to the conference room open.
Immediately after, a young man walked in.
"This is Mr. Li Zhonghe, the director of "Those Years of Graduation", in order to make our cinema more diverse, we decided to let his documentary be screened in our Sailu ......"
“……”
After Zhang Sheng's introduction, the phone rang.
He answered the phone, and then narrowed his eyes: "Miss Elaine, maybe, I can bring you more Chinese movies......"
After finishing speaking, he looked at Shen Xiaoxi next to him: "Xiaoxi, you preside over this "cinema" project meeting, I have to go out!" Let's talk about the film business! ”
"Oh, okay!"
