Lu Yuan's actions once again blinded everyone's eyes.
But if you think about it carefully, Lu Yuan's method can be said to be unexpected, yet reasonable.
This person...
If he plays by common sense, he wouldn't be Lu Yuan.
After seeing Lu Yuan @陈建锋 on Weibo, almost everyone smelled a hint of irony.
Admire?
Are you sure you are admiring Sammul Chan instead of provoking him?
With your support, the beauty and splendor are combined, and both literature and sports flourish?
Logically speaking, after being @ed like this, even the leaders of the company have been @ed, you should at least respond, right?
But Chen Jianfeng still did not respond, and the other employees of the Huajin Taiwan Branch still did not respond. They were still silent as if they were scared. It was still the same as the last time when Lu Yuan @ed them. It was exactly the same formula, the familiar taste...
Why not respond?
Everyone vaguely understood.
He was afraid that once he responded, Lu Yuan, this shameless guy, would take advantage of him and try to lead the trend.
The feeling of wanting to respond but not being able to respond is definitely not a good one.
At this moment, everyone could even think of Chen Jianfeng's face that was as black as charcoal.
This guy must be very angry!
At this moment, the number of voices of consolation and criticism under Lu Yuan’s Weibo suddenly turned into 666.
Lu Yuan’s Weibo revealed two pieces of information, one was that his new book was almost finished, and the other was that Lu Yuan had already started contacting another Hollywood film company.
It turned out that Lu Yuan rejected Paimeng because he had already found a new employer.
It turns out that they have a trick up their sleeve.
However, which company can refuse Paimon and other Hollywood film companies from contacting each other?
Is it Columbia, Miramar, or the 20th century?
Everyone was guessing which one Lu Yuan would choose.
but!
etc!
Does Lu Yuan have the ability to contact these companies?
this……
These are all well-known Hollywood companies, Lu Yuan...
Is he qualified?
This thought suddenly popped up in everyone's mind.
seem……
At this time, another idea suddenly popped up in some people's minds.
Lu Yuan is not just a director and screenwriter, he is also a piano composer who can work with world-class pianists like Brando!
If I use that identity, it seems...
Are you really qualified?
Damn it!
This monster!
Two flowers blooming?
Tell me where else can't bloom?
…
There are hundreds of film and television companies of all sizes in Hollywood, and Huaxin Brothers is just one of many third-rate companies in Hollywood.
Although the company is called Huaxin Brothers, it actually has only one boss and more than 20 employees.
The boss's name is Forrest, a genuine American middle-aged man in his thirties.
Huaxin Brothers has produced two films, namely "Pink Birdman" and "The Last Man on Earth"...
These two films have achieved remarkable results, and are extremely famous even in Hollywood. After all, a film with a total investment of more than 10 million US dollars has directly achieved a total box office revenue of 5 million US dollars, which is extremely rare even in a place like Hollywood...
This also directly led to the transformation of Forrest, a young man from a wealthy family, into a poor and indebted middle-aged man.
Forrest felt good about himself.
I even feel that my life has reached its peak.
After all, his girlfriend, who was about to get married, left with his brother and assistant director. The company's millions of liquid funds were also taken away overnight. The debt collectors pressed him every day, and he had no choice but to sell his villa to pay off the debts...
This is what it feels like to have nothing.
But he felt...
That's not bad!
After all, he could finally run a company that was about to go bankrupt quietly, and finally no one bothered him. This was the taste of freedom.
Well, freedom is great!
Baptized by this free air, Forrest wanted to take his life one step further, so he bought some sleeping pills through some other gray channels. He wanted to see God as soon as possible while he was extremely happy, and then ask God if he could give him some more happy experiences, so that he could reach the top of the world again.
Unfortunately, when he was about to go to heaven, he was discovered by his assistant and sent to the hospital and saved.
After waking up in the hospital, Forrest experienced a major choice in his life.
In fact, there have always been people who want to acquire his company. The company has a complete set of equipment and the acquisition price is very cheap, only about 200,000 US dollars.
Should I sell the company, earn $200,000 and leave this circle to do something else, or should I continue to make movies?
Forrest closed his eyes and finally made a decision!
He has died once, and he is not afraid of death, so what else would he be afraid of?
It was impossible for him to make movies again with his current ability. Firstly, he would not have much money unless he sold his company, and secondly, there were really no good scripts. He thought about it and the only thing he could do was to have some connections with major theaters, and he also had channels in many places. Coincidentally, he heard the news that Paimon failed to buy out the film "The Man from Earth"...
He felt that his chance had come!
He wants to get this movie!
He also has his own advantages. At least he has his own channels, right?
…
Lu Yuan naturally would not use his fictitious identity to contact those companies.
Even if I could get in touch with Lu Yuan, I wouldn't be so eager to take my own movies to get in touch with him.
This feeling is too much like kneeling and licking.
Lu Yuan is not a bootlicker, and he doesn't like bootlickers.
Wu Tingting compiled a thick and detailed stack of Hua Xin's information.
Including the manager of the company in the past two years, including the tragic past of the boss, including some details of emotional entanglements...
After reading through the information of Huaxin Company, Lu Yuan showed an incredible smile. He felt that this Forrest was quite interesting.
This is simply the template for the tragic hero in some pretentious and face-slapping novels...
How to say it?
Two consecutive movies were flops, and the best assistant director hooked up with his wife, gifting him a big green hat, while working with his wife to embezzle all the working capital of his company, severely screwing him...
this……
Is there any male protagonist more miserable than this?
Oh, no...
At least he is in good health. Some unscrupulous operators, in order to make the slapping more satisfying, directly arranged a tragic life story for the male protagonist, and directly gave the male protagonist a terminal illness...
At least this Forrest is not that miserable.
At noon the next day, Forrest came to "Remote" Entertainment.
Although he was prepared, he was still shocked by the company when he arrived at Remote Entertainment.
How is it possible that such a small company can produce such hit movies consecutively?
this……
This is simply incredible.
Then, he met this legendary figure Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan has no fame in the film industry, but he is very famous in the piano world. Many pianists almost deify Lu Yuan.
After all, the two piano pieces "To Alice" and "The Romance of Love" are really amazing.
In fact, Forrest likes piano music very much. He has taken his girlfriend to concerts to listen to piano solos several times...
When Forrest thought of this, he shook his head violently, trying not to think about the messy past.
"Hello, Mr. Lu..." After being allowed to enter Lu Yuan's office, Forrest hurriedly lowered his head and extended his hand.
Lu Yuan was much younger than he had imagined.
Yes, it's incredible!
It was really shocking to Forrest that such a young person had such a terrifying talent...
However, he didn't come here to be shocked, but to discuss something, so the expression on his face was very calm.
"Well, hello, Mr. Forrest..." Lu Yuan spoke to Forrest in a twisted English.
Well, he is still so self-satisfied.
"Mr. Lu, I'm not a talkative person. I'm very interested in your movie, and I hope to get the global agency rights for your movie... I know you know my company, I..."
"Um, Mr. Forrest, could you please... speak a little slower... a little slower!" Lu Yuan stuttered and finally finished the sentence.
Forrest spoke very quickly, and Lu Yuan could only understand a little bit of what he said.
Wu Tingting, who was standing next to them, had a red face and looked like she wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
She wanted to be a translator, but her boss was very stubborn and wanted to do it herself.
"Oh..." Forrest watched Lu Yuan's mouth opening and closing. About half a minute after he finished speaking, he finally understood what Lu Yuan meant. Then he began to speak slowly.
Mr. Lu's English is really...
It's pretty bad.
"Wu Tingting, please translate it..." Lu Yuan found that he was still finding it very difficult to understand, and finally, he gave up.
"..." Wu Tingting shook her head slightly and began to act as a translator.
"Oh, Mr. Forrest... Please allow me to be reckless. I have a question. Your company doesn't have much cash now, right? The price that Paimon Company gave us is three million. Mr. Forrest, I don't think you can come up with three million..." Lu Yuan looked at Forrest.
"I'm ready. I'm going to mortgage the company to the bank in exchange for some funds... At the same time, I will find a way to borrow money. Although I'm not doing well now, if I put everything aside and go to borrow, I can borrow three million US dollars, and I believe I can do it..." Forrest knew that Lu Yuan doubted his financial ability, so he spoke his true feelings very seriously and emphasized it several times.
If it really wasn't enough, he had thought about selling his kidneys and some of his organs. Of course, he would never tell Lu Yuan these words.
"Mr. Forrest, it's obvious that three million dollars is not enough for me. If three million was enough, I would have bought it out to Paimon long ago... Do you understand what I mean?"
"I..." Forrest hesitated for a moment and then gritted his teeth: "Four million is fine..."
"How about this, Mr. Forrest, for six million dollars plus a 5% share, I will authorize you to take over the film. After all, you should know that this film has performed very well at the box office in China. It has earned more than ten million dollars in less than six days..." Lu Yuan looked at Forrest.
"Six million..." Forrest fell silent after hearing this number.
If it was four million, he could still solve it with some effort, but it was six million dollars.
He really had no choice.
"Yes." Lu Yuan nodded.
"Mr. Lu... I came to you with sincerity..."
"I am also very sincere in discussing this business with you, otherwise I would not meet you, right?"
"My company is Hollywood..."
"Mr. Forrest, other Hollywood companies in China may have a say, but it makes no difference to me. After all, I rejected Paimon. I am a good friend of Director James, but even so, I still choose to respect my movie. This is a science fiction film that I wrote and supervised myself. I don't want this movie to be sold at a low price. Do you understand?"
"I understand..." Forrest nodded silently.
He had done his homework before coming here. He was ready to explain his channels and advantages to Lu Yuan one by one, and he was going to agree to give him a share of the profits...
After all, the falling out between Lu Yuan and Paimeng was because of the profit division, right?
"I'm glad to hear that. Sorry, Mr. Forrest, I know you have your persistence, but I also have mine. After all, I am a filmmaker, a filmmaker with artistic values..." Lu Yuan shamelessly flattered himself.
"Mr. Lu... Can you tell me how I can get this movie? I really need this movie, more than you can imagine, more than anyone else..."
"This... Mr. Forrest, it's really hard for me to do this..." Lu Yuan hesitated for a moment. "I sympathize with your situation and I want to help you. I think we can be good friends. I personally appreciate Hollywood companies... Actually, it's such a happy thing to have your own company in Hollywood, isn't it?"
"Then... Mr. Lu, what you mean is... I don't understand..." Forrest had no idea what Lu Yuan was trying to do.
Why are we suddenly talking about admiring Hollywood companies?
this……
"Mr. Forrest...um...how much is your company worth?" Lu Yuan was speechless. Why didn't Mr. Forrest come to his senses?
I've been hinting at this for a long time!
Is your EQ so low?
"..." After hearing Lu Yuan's words, Forrest suddenly understood.
This person...
After talking for so long, you just want to buy my own company?!
