Chapter 395: Pleasant Blackmail

After attending the groundbreaking ceremony of the mushroom factory, Wang Ye just returned to his office.

"Factory director, there is your telegram, Jiaojiao sent it back from the United States."

"Say there's an American who's going to make a movie for you!"

As soon as Wang Ye sat down, Bai Tingyu took a document, knocked on the door and walked in, and said at the same time.

"What?"

"Make me a movie?"

Hearing Bai Tingyu's voice, Wang Ye asked in surprise, and this is not pretending, it is indeed very unexpected, after all, it is normal to make a movie for a person, doesn't this situation generally happen after this person has become famous and then settled? But he is still alive and well, and besides, why do Americans suddenly care about themselves?

In an instant, a series of thoughts flashed through Wang Ye's mind, and he stretched out his hand to ask:

"Take it, I'll take a look."

With Wang Ye's voice, Bai Tingyu had already brought the telegram, judging from the amount of paper, this matter was still relatively complicated, and it was not something that could be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

Under Bai Tingyu's gaze, after a few minutes, Wang Ye finally finished reading the telegram, and at the same time said with emotion:

"This Steven Spielberg is really interesting!"

"Tsk, he deserves to be a 'big director'."

Hearing Wang Ye say this, Bai Tingyu, who was standing not far away, hesitated and said:

"Director, if this movie is really made."

"Will it cause you unnecessary trouble, or some bad influence?"

Because at present, the Red Star Consortium has a wide range of operations in the desert, especially in Saudi Arabia, and at the same time has a large number of staff, who are involved in working with the Women and Children Protection Foundation in the War and Catherine and Elizabeth, so about his encounter in the desert and some of the situations that happened at that time, Wang Ye made a rough internal report, after all, if these Saudi staff did not know, it would cause some miscalculations, and finally lead to unnecessary losses, and Bai Tingyu, as the secretary on duty, basically knew these thingsThat's why she's so problematic.

"It's okay, don't worry."

"First of all, this rumor has been widely circulated in the world, and I don't care about such a movie, and then add heat to this matter, those who believe it will believe it in the past, and those who don't believe it will not believe it in the future, and when I was in the desert, in order to achieve the ultimate goal, I also admitted to this matter, so even if I really authorized Steven Spielberg to make a movie, there is actually no additional impact."

"Secondly, in general, Steven Spielberg should have 'good intentions' towards us for various reasons, otherwise he would have been able to shoot directly and not contact us at all."

"Because even if we don't contact us, without my authorization, fundamentally speaking, there will be no fatal impact on the filming and future release, and we have nothing to do, after all, they have the mouthpiece of international propaganda, even if we protest, it is actually useless, and what are we protesting again? Protest against their film adaptation based on me? They flatly denied it, and no one could do anything but add more topics to the movie and let them earn more. ”

"In the end, as I just said, in fact, if we agree or not, they will shoot it, because there are too many interests involved."

Speaking of this, Wang Ye sighed slightly.

From Wang Ye's point of view, this movie is very much in line with the consistent path of American films, coupled with the hot hype, Steven Spielberg's direction, best-selling is definitely not a problem, even in this era, it is not a problem to win tens of millions of box office in the North American market, and there may be two or three hundred million box office in the world.

As for the cost? Five million dollars is enough, after all, the Terminator 1, which will be released next year, will only cost six million.

In this way, the profits are quite staggering, whether it is for Steven Spielberg, for the film company, for the distribution company, for all kinds of interest groups.

However, this is still not the most critical, Steven Spielberg's "identity" is very special, so the most important thing about this movie is that it can be disgusted to the Soviet Union, which is the most important thing.

"So, the factory director, are you going to authorize him to shoot?"

After a short silence, Bai Tingyu, who was standing there, asked, while Wang Ye shook his head with a smile and said:

"No, no, no, of course not."

Hearing Wang Ye say this, Bai Tingyu was a little confused for a while, because Wang Ye just said that filming will not bring any bad effects and troubles, and even if they don't agree, they will definitely shoot, it sounds like they want to agree, but now that Wang Ye said that he won't authorize, doesn't it mean that he has acquiesced to agree, and he can't receive the million?

"What do you mean, director?"

"Default? If they shoot by default, won't you get a million dollars? ”

"This? I don't quite understand. ”

In the next second, Bai Tingyu said curiously, while Wang Ye said with a smile:

"I'll tell you, you remember."

Hearing Wang Ye say this, Bai Tingyu hurriedly picked up the notebook, although her memory is amazing, but Wang Ye has already asked her to prepare to record, which means that there may be more content.

Five minutes later, Wang Ye said:

"Okay, that's it."

"Send it to Jiaojiao and ask her to pass it on to Steven Spielberg."

Hearing Wang Ye's command, Bai Tingyu, who had already finished recording, couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and then said in amazement:

"It's still the factory director! Cattle! ”

After finishing speaking, she stood up and prepared to leave the office to edit the telegram and send a telegram, but just before she was about to open the door, she suddenly paused, then turned her head to look at Wang Ye and smiled:

"Factory director, there are only two of us in the office, can you tell me?"

"Those two Soviet women, are they really not attracted by your personal charm, love you and love you to die and live, so they betrayed the KGBGER?"

Hearing Bai Tingyu say this, Wang Ye rolled his eyes, and then scolded with a smile:

"Do you think that's possible?"

"That's a KΓΆber, it's not a joke."

"How can I have such a charisma? Isn't this an international joke? ”

Regarding Wang Ye's statement, Bai Tingyu obviously did not agree, and muttered in a low voice:

"I think there is."

I don't know if what she said is possible or attractive, anyway, after saying that, I pushed open the door of the office and left.

Then, only Wang Ye was left in the office, looking at the sparrows chirping outside the window, Wang Ye sighed and smiled helplessly:

"Now, it's really going to be 'famous through the ages'."

"I didn't eat the pure 'mutton', and I made a commotion!"

After sighing, Wang Ye looked up at his watch, there was still a period of time before lunch, he got up and put on a white coat and went straight to the aviation laboratory.

In the past few days, Wang Ye has begun to ask questions frantically, and the teachers have begun to live a painful and happy life, in which the happiness comes from asking questions, after all, what teacher can not like students who take the initiative to ask questions? The pain comes from Wang Ye's questions, most of which are very in-depth, and they are somewhat difficult to answer, even very difficult

June 14.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Wang Ye bid farewell to the staff of the Red Star Consortium commercial procurement delegation to the United States at the gate of the Red Star Consortium, a total of 13 people, will first rush to Yanjing to meet with the large army, and then on June 16, under the leadership of the ministries and commissions, take a direct flight to San Francisco, the United States, to start the journey of procurement negotiations.

Meanwhile.

Los Angeles, USA, Red Star Consortium North America.

"Jiaojiao, Director Steven has arrived."

In Xu Jiaojiao's office, the staff member knocked on the door and said, Xu Jiaojiao, who was originally looking down to judge the effect of the new round of advertising for the Miami smuggling incident launched a few days ago, closed the folder in front of her and looked up and said:

"Invite him to the reception room, and I'll go."

Hearing Xu Jiaojiao say this, the staff nodded and left, Xu Jiaojiao took out an envelope from the drawer, and then left the office with the envelope.

Moments later, Xu Jiaojiao met Steven Spielberg in the reception room.

"Miss Xu, I'm so happy to see you after a few days."

"I guess it must be a good outcome, right?"

"Otherwise, you'll just tell me on the phone that no, I guess right?"

As soon as Xu Jiaojiao walked into the office, Steven, who was originally sitting and drinking coffee, sat up and said with a smile, and Xu Jiaojiao shrugged her shoulders slightly like an American and said:

"Perhaps!"

"Our factory director wrote a letter to you, Mr. Steven."

"He asked me to read it to you."

When Xu Jiaojiao walked into the reception room, Director Steven had already noticed the envelope in Xu Jiaojiao's hand, so he was not surprised by this result, and made a gesture of invitation and said:

"Oh! Then Miss Xu, you can get started. ”

Xu Jiaojiao nodded, sat down on the sofa opposite Director Steven, took out the letter and read:

"Hello Mr. Steven Spielberg, I'm Wang Ye."

"It's a pleasure to meet you and communicate in this way, I've seen 'Jaws', 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' and 'ET Alien' directed by you, all of which seem to me to be very high-quality films, I deeply admire and admire your directing ability, and look forward to seeing more of your films in the future, bringing a different visual feast to the world."

"Closer to home, I've received your request, but I'm sorry to tell you."

"I'm a traditional man, and I can't accept that I am the prototype and blueprint, and my life experience is used as the material to be adapted into a movie, so in principle, I can't agree to your authorization request."

"But in my opinion, this is not a problem, because in my opinion, the main character of the movie you are about to shoot, Jack, he and I have almost no similarities and similarities, in short, he is him and I am, so I want to say that in fact, the license is not important, because this movie has nothing to do with me at all."

"In short, you can shoot, feel free to shoot boldly, and I'm looking forward to the final film."

"Because judging from the outline of the script, this will definitely be a wonderful film, and I even think it can win the Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director, which will cause a sensation in the international film market, leave a deep impact on the history of the development of film, and will still be talked about by countless people as a classic decades later."

When he said this, Steven's expression had changed from a smile to an indifference, Xu Jiaojiao paused, and Steven made a gesture to signal Xu Jiaojiao to continue.

"But, Mr. Steven Spielberg, you have given me enough respect."

"Then I must give you enough sincerity, I am here to sincerely remind you that although this story has nothing to do with me, those two ladies do have a direct relationship, and I advise you to get their authorization, otherwise you may get into big trouble for it."

"In good faith, I give you three suggestions for your reference."

"First, you should get their film adaptation license, as for the cost, you are willing to give me a million, and in today's social form of the world, people are always more tolerant of men than women, so the price you give them should be doubled, that is, two million dollars, and for each person, and because in the movie, they two women share a husband, which may be a bit problematic in terms of ethics, so the final figure, I think six million for two people is more appropriate."

"Second, the fact that the two of them were able to risk their lives and turn their backs on their lives in favor of light and freedom is something that I think is something to celebrate and encourage, and now they are doing the noblest work of humanity, which is to fight war and protect women and children, which I think is a place that needs the attention and help of society."

"Therefore, it is better for you, Mr. Steven Spielberg, to hold a charity gala for the American and even the world's upper class society and celebrities before the release of the movie, raise donations in the party, and finally hand over the proceeds to this foundation, which can also show the kindness of the big shots, and I think the big guys will not refuse."

"Thirdly, for a foundation, investment and benefit are the basic elements for them to maintain their normal operation, since they are going to make a film based on them, I think it is better to ask them if they are interested in investing in this film, maybe they also want their story to be known to more people in the world, and then more people, get spiritual encouragement, and finally muster up the courage to turn their backs on their lives and invest in a free and bright future."

"All of the above are my suggestions, for Mr. Steven Spielberg's reference only."

"I hope that in the future, we will communicate face-to-face, Wang Ye."

Finally, when Xu Jiaojiao finished reading, Steven Spielberg, who was sitting there, was expressionless, only to see him take out a cigarette by himself, and then light it and take a deep puff.

In the next second, a smile appeared on his face, and he didn't see any embarrassment and anger, but said quite happily:

"I have to say, Mr. Wang Ye is really a business genius!"
