This time, Chris was stunned for a while.
Before that, he had learned about Huaxia culture. Many people told him that although Huaxia people were sensitive to prices when negotiating contracts, they would not express it directly.
As a result, now, Li Jiahang's performance can be said to be no more direct.
However, this is also good, everyone simply!
Chris settled down, and said seriously: "I am willing to spend 100 million dollars to buy the script, and then invest 1000 million dollars to make this movie."
"One million, less."
"What do you mean?"
"At least $1000 million."
"what?"
Chris was dumbfounded.
Are you kidding me?
1000 million dollars for a script?
this... this... this...
How to talk about this?
His bottom line is at most $150 million!
After all, he doesn't have that much money.
In fact, he can't get a penny out of it now except for 150 million knives!
The 1000 million US dollars for the filming, he plans to buy the script and return to China to find someone to finance.
After all, the success of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" comes first, so it shouldn't be particularly difficult for him to raise $1000 million!
But now, the script alone costs 1000 million dollars.
This time, it was no different from killing him.
Is he really... helpless?
Chris looked at Li Jiahang, hesitant to speak...
Chapter 656
After a while, Chris tried to calm down his emotions, and tried to say: "Mr. Li, I am really sincere. I know that the price of 150 million may be a bit low. But, I can give you a share of the box office of the film!"
"How much box office do you expect to get from the release?"
"I believe it will be higher than your original box office!"
"How many?"
"More than [-] million US dollars!"
"Do you know how much my box office is?"
"One hundred and five million."
"Unfortunately, you made a mistake. The total box office of "The Richest Man in Xihong City" should be more than [-] million dollars..."
Chris froze and froze for a moment.
He suddenly felt that he had no chance to talk.
For a movie with a box office of 150 million US dollars, I want to spend [-] million US dollars to get the script authorization. This seems a bit...not like what people said.
Seeing his performance, Li Jiahang smiled slightly, and said again: "Mr. Chris, let's not talk about this for now, can you talk about your vision for the film?"
"For example, scenes, plots, plots, sets, if you shoot, how do you do it?"
Although Chris didn't have a complete plan in his heart, but now he heard Li Jiahang's words, he blurted out immediately: "I will definitely modify the plot of the main line of football, and I will definitely modify it."
"I'll be looking for the best screenwriter in Hollywood right away..."
"Oh, that means you haven't imagined it yet, have you?"
"I......"
"Then how much are you going to invest in shooting?"
"I think, with your excellent works, you can easily find an investment of 1000 million US dollars to complete the shooting of this film."
Chris looked straight at Li Jiahang, and said seriously: "Mr. Li, I really want to shoot this movie! Please believe me, I will start from scratch this time, and I will never let this movie go. Made the mistakes of the past..."
"I believe you have such determination, but do you have such strength?"
"I...my directorial work is actually very good, I will definitely be able to find investment!"
"Where did you find it?"
"Hollywood!"
"Are they really willing to give you $1000 million to buy a script?"
The topic went back and forth, and Chris was stupid again.
Li Jiahang took a sip from the tea bowl and smiled slightly: "Actually, I have always wanted to make an overseas version of "The Richest Man in Xihong City."
The foreshadowing has been enough. In the brief exchange just now, Li Jiahang also found that Chris is indeed like Jack said, without the high-ranking and domineering attitude of other people in Hollywood.
This made him feel that the overseas branch of Hualong Films seems to be able to go a step further.
Chris's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he stared straight at Li Jiahang.
He felt that he suddenly understood what Li Jiahang meant.
If Hualong Pictures wants to shoot, it is definitely impossible to sell the copyright.
yes......
Hualong Pictures has its own overseas branch, and the leader is Jack Downey, a top Hollywood producer. How can he have any reason to give up the film to others?
"But at the moment, Hualong Pictures doesn't have so many resources in Hollywood. Without a director, there is no way to shoot..."
Ok?
Chris froze again.
No director?
What does that mean?
Seeing Li Jiahang's smiling face, Chris felt a "thump" in his heart.
Could it be that Li Jiahang intends to let him work for Hualong as a director to shoot this film?
impossible!
What does that mean to me?
Chris wants "The Richest Man in Xihong City" because he wants his new company to flourish in Hollywood again!
"Mr. Li, I'm sorry, I can't be an ordinary director in Hualong Films to complete the filming of a film. I want to produce and produce, so that my name can resound in Hollywood again!"
"I'm sorry! If we cooperate, you can only authorize the script to me, and I will coordinate the shooting! I believe that with my strength..."
Chapter 657
"Oh, okay, walk slowly, don't send it off."
Li Jiahang smiled and waved his hand directly.
This time, I can't fix Chris again!
Shouldn't you try to keep it, or persuade it?
Is it just...so...straightforward?
This...is this still the attitude of Chinese filmmakers?
In the past, those Chinese film companies, in order to break into Hollywood, weren't they all very talkative?
How come... things are not the same now?
[The host shocked the director Chris, and got a shock value of +1500. 】
[The host shocked the director Guan Hu, and obtained a shock value of +2500. 】
Seeing Chris' shocked expression, Li Jiahang felt even more relaxed.
He has already pinned Chris to death.
After all, he didn't need Chris, but Chris needed him.
Moreover, taking a step back, even if Chris does not compromise today, there is no loss for Hualong.
"This...Mr. Li, I really want to shoot "The Richest Man in Xihong City". I know that Hualong has its own overseas company and can also complete the filming overseas, but I believe that I will be better than Hualong. …”
"Why do you say that?"
"I..." Chris choked again.
"How to change the script, you haven't imagined it yet, have you?"
"Yes......"
"Without money and without an idea for a script, even if I sell you the copyright, you can't afford it. Even if I license it to you for free, what can you do?"
Li Jiahang shook his head and said seriously: "For me, the cost of the script is nothing, but reputation is very important to me."
"A successful film adaptation is a win-win situation."
"But what if your adaptation fails?"
"I will not fail, I will find the best screenwriter in Hollywood..."
Chris was completely led away by Li Jiahang, his head was buzzing, and he almost lost the ability to think.
Especially Li Jiahang went around, saying that he has no money for a while, and the importance of adaptation for a while...
"But you haven't imagined it yet, have you?"
"I......"
"I already have a complete idea, whether it is the character design, or the main plot, the plot, I have a very complete set, but I need a person to complete the shooting."
"Mr. Li, I'm really sorry, I don't want to be an ordinary director."
Chris gritted his teeth and gave a negative answer again.
Li Jiahang smiled slightly and said softly: "Hualong is rich, so he can invest in filming."
"And, joining Hualong, you don't need to worry about the script anymore."
The corner of Chris's mouth twitched, and his heart was overwhelmed.
I want to buy the script myself!
Why after coming here today, it seems like I want to sell myself...
"Mr. Li, I'm really not used to being a director for others. Being controlled by investors will seriously affect my creation..."
"Oh, I'm sorry, I misunderstood you." Li Jiahang smiled apologetically, and said seriously: "I believe that Mr. Chris will definitely be able to create an excellent script."
Chris: …
Li Jiahang's posture is very tall.
He crushed Chris tightly, from head to toe.
It's just that if you want to squeeze it flat, you can squeeze it flat, and if you want to make it round, you can make it round.
"Actually, Mr. Chris, I think you may have gone into a misunderstanding. Do you think Jack is an unprofessional producer?"
"No, he's very professional."
"Then do you think there will be problems if you cooperate with him?"
"Won't......"
"Hualong Films can invest 500 million US dollars to complete this film. You will be the director, Jack will produce it, and I will write the screenplay myself. Is there any problem?"
