On May 11, He Fang was almost busy with the preparations for the movie "Invasion of Wall Street" in Los Angeles, and then he was ready to fly to Cannes with Fan Bingbing.

Wait a minute, when did Fan Bingbing come to Los Angeles?

Of course, when she knew that "Single Zoo" was shortlisted for Cannes, she came to Los Angeles in the name of practicing American spoken English.

Other actors ask to experience life, why don't you allow it?

It just so happened that during this time period, they selected all the actors.

He was lucky enough to fool Jason Statham.

What? Who can fool Jason Statham? What's the situation? He has so much to pay people for this?

Of course not, Jason Statham has become popular all over the world at this time with the "Very Human Trafficker" series, and his salary starts at $8 million.

If it weren't for the good performance of "Death Speed" and "Furious Heart 2" in the past two years, in the "Ranger" starring him and Jet Li in 2007, he and Jet Li received a salary of 7 million together.

The production budget of "Invasion of Wall Street" is only $10 million, how can it be possible to pay Jason Statham $8 million?

But it didn't make it difficult, and he threw two temptations to Jason Statham.

The first temptation was to help him open up the Chinese market, a market of 1.3 billion people, which was a big temptation for Jason. Because the movie he acted in can't be released in China, but he can.

Another temptation is a fixed salary of $2 million, plus a 5% dividend at the global box office. He Fang told him that the film can get at least $30 million to $40 million at the box office in China, and 5% of the Chinese market alone is $1.5 million to $2 million, not counting anywhere else.

He is even willing to sign a guarantee with him, which means that the global box office is less than 50 million US dollars, and who will make up the difference.

Of course, the most important thing is that he only needs a month and a half for him to harvest a Chinese market, plus a salary of no less than six or seven million US dollars.

If he has the blessing of the Chinese market in the future, then his salary in Hollywood will rise, which is only good for him.

Jason Statham decided to join after three days of consideration.

The cost he paid was only a month and a half, but the harvest was a market of 1.3 billion people, a guaranteed salary of $4.5 million, and who promised to help him avoid taxes on income other than the fixed salary of 2 million in the contract.

So after a combination of this series, Jason Statham agreed after only thinking about it for three days, the main thing is that the story of "Invasion of Wall Street" and the protagonist are very consistent with the style of his image.

He's a tough guy figure, an avenger.

"You're good at making gambling agreements with people? I heard that "Far Cry" is a bet between you and investors, and "Single Zoo" is also a bet against Huayi. Then, I heard that your "The Voice" is also betting with Zhejiang TV, and "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" is betting with Mango TV? ”

On the plane from Los Angeles to Paris, France, Fan Bingbing asked curiously.

He Fang shook the red wine glass and smiled mysteriously, and took a sip gently.

"I don't want to gamble, how can others easily believe me if I don't bet on a newcomer like me? When my show and movie are successful, I believe that even if I am willing to bet with others, others will not bet with me, after all, trust has been established. ”

Fan Bingbing winked and smiled.

"Also, who would dare to believe a young man who has no experience of success? Fortunately, you have a good background, otherwise no one would believe you even if you were willing to gamble. Do you know how many newcomers in this circle are willing to gamble, but no one believes it? ”

"Haha, it's so easy to get out of the way. It's too hard and too hard to really start from scratch, and the odds are almost zero. ”

Fan Bingbing smiled and agreed.

How could she not know how difficult the road was? Women can still rely on posture, and men basically rely on pure strength and courage.

Of course, in fact, in a few years, men will also be able to rely on posture, not to mention this.

"Teacher Bingbing, I want to ......" He Fang suddenly attached his ear to Fan Bingbing's ear.

"You, no......"

……

At 8 o'clock in the evening on May 11, He Fang, Fan Bingbing, Yang Tianzhen and others came to Cannes, this trip from Los Angeles to Paris, and then from Paris to Nice, and from Nice to Cannes, it was really not easy.

More than 20 days ago, they had a villa in Villa Atuval in Cannes, which is only a 15-minute walk from the Palais des Festivals and less than a five-minute drive.

The two of them are slow, and the others arrived early.

That's right, in addition to He Fang, Li Pingbin, Fan Bingbing and Li Bingbing, the most likely winners, there are also other people who came this time.

Who doesn't want to rub the red carpet and expose it?

Liu Yan, Xu Dongdong, Zhang Xinyu, Zhu Yilong, Pan Binlong...... He Fang who participated in these performances also managed to get them an invitation letter, and who paid for the related expenses.

It is to let them enjoy the happiness of being shortlisted for the three major film festivals together, and it is also to tell other actors, where to follow me, I can bring you fame and fortune.

He Fang had a small gathering with everyone that night, and after drinking a glass of celebration wine, he rested, after all, he had to prepare for the opening ceremony the next day, and everyone was very busy.

Fan Bingbing is going to the crew of "Rizhao Chongqing", after all, she also played a cameo role in that play, and it is impossible not to say hello.

It's just that Wang Zhonglei also took this opportunity to go to his room to talk about He Fang's "Pacific Rim" project before He Fang rested.

"Mr. Wang, do you really want to vote? I heard that China Film also wants to participate, and I am talking to Huying Group. You really want to participate, why don't you follow China Film to talk to Huying Group? I gave them permission to talk about it. ”

He asked.

"Director He, it's so late that I know you're tired and need to rest, so I won't beat around the bush. You see that our cooperation is quite pleasant, and the investment of 800 million yuan in "Pacific Rim" is too high. Let's have a relationship, can you give a preferential price? Or make a bet. Wang Zhonglei said.

He Fang couldn't cry or laugh after hearing this, he took out a cigarette from his cigarette case and lit it.

"Mr. Xiao Wang, do you think the 800 million yuan is a premium for you? It's really an investment of 800 million, you can't let me let you buy shares at a loss, right? So what has become of me? Mr. Wang, otherwise, you bought shares of "Pacific Rim" to make the stock price rise. Is it possible that you buy from me for 800 million and then sell it at a premium of 1200000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 In this way, your performance will not be profitable, and the stock will not rise? ”

"Huh? How else can it be done? Xiao Wang was stunned.

"Why not? For example, you buy a part of our 800 million plate, and then we cooperate with you not to sell the original shares of "Pacific Rim". In this case, others who want to buy shares of Pacific Rim can only buy from you. At this time, do you want to overprice? ”

"Shhh...... Makes sense, but ...... Why should others buy shares at a premium? Wang Zhonglei asked.

He Fang smiled and took another puff of cigarette, Wang Zhonglei was anxious.

"Director He, if you have any good ideas, just say it, can we grasp it ourselves."

He Fang nodded.

"As long as you keep releasing good news, you are not afraid that no one will buy it. Do you know that there is no place to spend a lot of money in underground banks and private equity in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, so they look for enterprises to lend money and speculate on real estate everywhere. ”

"......" Wang Zhonglei's eyes lit up, this is indeed a good idea, "but what good news is there for the bosses to buy this money?" ”

"Like, I'm just for example, not necessarily true. For example, we asked Cameron to produce the film, and we went to negotiate with Leonardo for the actor, and then you let it go and say that once Leonardo participates, the global box office is designated to sell one billion dollars. What is the concept of a billion dollars? The global box office of nearly 7 billion yuan. So you say that it is only 1.2 billion yuan, is anyone willing to invest in it? ”

"Whew...... Can you still play like this? Wang Zhonglei took a deep breath.

"What if it doesn't work out?" Wang Zhonglei asked.

"So, you have to sell the shares before you negotiate it."

"Isn't the person who bought the shares coming to us for trouble?" Wang Zhonglei said worriedly.

"No, this is not to be discussed, what does Cameron and Leonardo have to do with your Huayi? This decision is not in your hands. So, what use are they looking for you? He Fang asked rhetorically.

"Huh?" Wang Zhonglei didn't react for a while, "Then they will look for you, Changsha Tuanhuo and Huying Group." ”

"No, how does that have anything to do with us? We didn't sell them that shares, and we didn't promise them that we would bring in Cameron and Leonardo. We have said a long time ago, we don't sell the original shares, who told them to buy indiscriminately, and if they didn't buy well, they came to us again, does it have anything to do with us? ”

"......" Wang Zhonglei is stupid, this trick is slippery...... No, that's too bad, isn't it? However, we Huayi like it.

"Then they will think that Huayi has cheated them, and they will look for us." Wang Zhonglei is not completely stupid.

"Therefore, you can't take the initiative to sell stocks, you find people to provoke these people to buy stocks, you have to pretend that you don't sell, and finally you are forced to sell by everyone's enthusiasm. So, will they be embarrassed to come to you after that? I don't need to tell you how to do this, right? ”

Wang Zhonglei touched his chin and fell into deep thought, the more he thought about it, the more he had a score.

"I have one condition, though."

"On what terms?"

"When the time comes, the money of the bosses will be returned, and the money you paid to buy shares will be returned, and you and I will divide the money you have earned, and you will earn ninety percent of it, and the remaining one percent will be given to me personally." As soon as he said this, how did he feel like Huang Shilang's business with the county lords in "Let the Bullets Fly"?

"Why do you want Ichisei?" Wang Zhonglei asked.

"Without my cooperation, can you create momentum and make money? This is called hush money. However, I won't admit to receiving this money, understand? ”

"Oh...... Understood, understood......"

"Haha......"
