Chapter 285. Virtuous helper or housekeeper wife [ask for subscription]
Dinner lounge area.
Sun Yi and John were sitting and chatting.
Liu Yifei walked in with a small tray.
It is also thanks to the organizers that they have considered that there will be people talking about some more private things or some cooperation matters during the break, so half of the entire rest area is a small card wallet separated by a screen, which is very private.
Otherwise, when people see the fairy sister actually making a cameo appearance as a waiter, they will be shocked, and they will have to make headlines tomorrow.
"Shocked, the well-known actress was forced to serve the plate, and the mastermind behind the scenes turned out to be his !!"
Well, it's all behind it.
Speaking of this, Sun Yi was a little wronged, it was really not him who called his girlfriend, originally he was going to talk to John here about copyright specifically, thinking that his English level is average, John's Chinese of this goods is sometimes almost meaningful, just his own girlfriend can help translate it, but I didn't expect that this just sat down for a while, she got up and left, to this meeting, Sun Yi knew that it was originally for him and John to drink.
It's really considerate, whether you should say it or not, your girlfriend is getting more and more virtuous.
It should be praised.
Liu Yifei smiled first and handed John a glass of whiskey with ice, and the latter raised his glass to thank her.
"Thank you, my beautiful young lady."
"You're welcome."
When it was my brother's turn, of course, there was also a cup.
Why is it green?
Sun Yi looked at the cup in his hand a little confused, and then looked at his girlfriend with a puzzled expression.
Liu Yifei didn't mean to explain, but the corners of her mouth rose, she walked around to the other side of the sofa by herself, sat down next to Sun Yi, then took out the straw, plugged it in, turned her head to look at Sun Yi, gritted her teeth, and didn't care about Sun Yi's reaction.
Sun Yi tentatively picked up the cup and took a small sip.
"Shhhh
A little sour, a little sweet.
It was excellent and was green apple flavored
Suddenly I regretted it a little, virtuous help, can I change it to a housekeeper's wife.
Juice is juice, this is what the girlfriend wants to keep a clear head in the negotiation, which should be praised.
"Tell me, what's the situation, why did you suddenly think of me buying the copyright?"
"Oh, my dear friend."
"Stop, normal."
Sun Yi hurriedly stopped John, the way this thing spoke, how to listen, how awkward, you said that you are an authentic American philistine businessman, what kind of British aristocratic fan.
John shrugged, a little helpless.
"Okay, okay, I've been learning how to be a gentleman lately."
"I don't care about whether you can be a gentleman now, I only care about which movie you want to buy the rights to, and how much you are prepared to pay."
"Haha, Sun, you're becoming more and more like a businessman."
Sun Yi pursed his lips and sneered.
"Each other, each other."
"Okay, I came to Huaxia this time just to buy films, your college student film festival is doing well, but unfortunately, after a few days, it didn't surprise me, on the contrary, I was very interested in your previous "Fake Marriage".
Sun Yi thought about it, you must know that the original book is a Hollywood movie, although he has made some Chinese localization adaptations, but the structure of the entire script is still a classic Hollywood three-stage style.
However, as long as you follow the general direction of the script, find a screenwriter at random, and make some Americanized adjustments, you can shoot directly, which saves you a lot of trouble.
"Okay, let's talk about the price."
"Oh, Sun, you are so straightforward, not at all like the Huaxia people I have come into contact with before."
"It saves everyone's time, and it doesn't affect our relationship, doesn't it?"
"Haha, ok, ok, we're old friends, $1 million, how about it?"
"Is there only this price for old friends, $5 million."
"No, no, no, this price is outrageous, 2 million, this is my best effort."
To be honest, Sun Yi is a little moved by this price, according to the current exchange rate, it is nearly 14 million, and the copyright of "Infernal Affairs", which was popular that year, is only worth 1.8 million US dollars.
But thinking that this film was released in the United States in the previous life, and the box office was over 100 million, if you calculate it this way, the producer can earn at least 30 or 40 million.
He was a little unwilling, so he had to try again.
"4 million."
"Oh, come, Sun, We are friend, this price is outrageous, 2.5 million, it can't be more."
Sun Yi shook his head quietly, although his heart was not very low, but he didn't mind taking a gamble.
"It's too low, I can't agree."
John stared at Sun Yi's eyes tightly for several seconds, looking at Sun Yi's eyes with great determination, and finally deflated, he shook his head helplessly, and raised three fingers at Sun Yi.
"$3 million, it is the last!"
The bet is won, and the actor's sense of belief is really a high-end skill.
Sun Yi thought about it for a while and felt that the price should be about the same, although he knew that this film would be at the box office in the United States in the future, but Huaxia films sold the rights to Hollywood, for example, they couldn't sell at a high price.
Not to mention, he doesn't have much international fame.
"Ok, deal, though, I want to know if you really have permission for this price, I want to settle it all at once."
Although he had a successful collaboration with John before, he had heard of many American film and television companies buying rights.
And when he was in Cannes last year, John was far from being as suited and leather as he is today, he was a small film buyer, and in general, $1 million was the right to go up to the sky, and no matter how much he had, he had to ask for instructions.
So he had to be careful.
Hearing this, John shook his head with a smile, straightened his suit casually, took out a gilded business card and handed it to Sun Yi.
"Looks like we need to get acquainted again, my best director."
Sun Yi took the business card and looked at it, it was good, and it was also intimately accompanied by a Chinese translation.
"Litmus Stone, USA, Asia Distribution Director, John, Joe."
"Happy to work with"
The two shook hands for the third time.
In just 20 minutes, a $3 million deal was negotiated, which was still a bit shocking for Liu Yifei.
She has lived in the United States, although the United States is currently much richer than Huaxia, but the money is not easy to make, and $3 million is definitely a lot of money at the moment.
So far, the highest salary she has received is $2.3 million for "The King of Kung Fu", which is still the number of external publicity, but in fact it is only 1 million.
She is looking at Sun Yi now, her eyes are full of little stars, and she can't wait to change the grape flavor for her brother again.
$3 million, how many Porsches can you buy!
