Xiangjiang old events [entertainment circle]

In Jiahe's conference office, two foreigners in suits representing Warner's side were sitting on the inside of the conference table facing the door, while Linda, who was Lu Shaolong's representative, was sitting opposite them, with an indifferent expression.

Zou Yunhua was sitting between the two of them, where the conference table extended to the boss's position, and he looked like he was in charge of the overall situation: "Let me introduce, this is Bruce's wife, Linda, who is here to discuss the "Game of Death" movie on behalf of Warner Bros. Reynolds and Dean on the contract."

Linda glanced at the two of them briefly: Reynolds looked like a typical middle-aged white male, while Dean looked like a young man in his twenties.

Although both of them are wearing suits, the suit of the older Reynolds is obviously better than the suit of the young Dean, and the tailoring is better. It seems that it is probably a senior managerial old employee with a young assistant. Configuration.

The only person she had to deal with, then, was the older Reynolds.

"Our company's opinion is to ask the new screenwriter to revise the original movie plot, and then try to use the half of the film material that has already been filmed, and then find a few stand-ins who are similar in shape and appearance to Mr. Bruce Lu to shoot the remaining half. As long as the movie can be produced and delivered on time, we won’t make it difficult for you.” Reynolds had a sad expression, “I also heard the unexpected news about Mr. Sorry, but please also understand our work."

"Then, as long as we can hand over a movie on time, it's not a breach of contract, right?" Linda asked lightly.

"No." Reynolds looked at Linda, and then signaled Dean beside him to pass a document with his eyes, "What we need at Warner is Mr. Bruce Lu's Kung Fu movie, not someone else's filming movie of."

"Of course, our Jiahe is very honest in the industry, and we will never pretend to be fake." Seeing that the atmosphere on the left and right began to feel a little tense, Zou Yunhua quickly rounded up the scene with a smile.

By the way, he gave Linda a look with his eyes, telling her not to hesitate and make a decision quickly.

Linda briefly glanced at the documents handed over, and raised her eyes to look at the two people opposite: "According to the documents, as long as we hand over the film materials that Bruce shot before, and then invite the screenwriter and stand-in again to If you shoot the movie and deliver it within the time limit, you don’t have to pay $200 million in liquidated damages, right?”

"Yes, at that time "Tiger Fight" Warner invested 50 U.S. dollars, Jiahe and Xiehe jointly contributed 30 U.S. dollars, and the total cost was 80 U.S. dollars." Zou Yunhua immediately explained, "And "Game of Death" is because it is Many foreign movie stars and kung fu masters were invited to co-produce the film, so Warner received an initial investment of 100 million US dollars, and the additional investment in other areas was not large because the film was suspended, so it can be temporarily excluded from the account.”

Lianda ignored Zou Yunhua's eyes, but looked at the documents on the table and fell silent.

Reynolds and Dean, who were sitting opposite each other, exchanged glances: It could be seen that the sad lady in front of her was trying her best to save her husband's hard work.It's a pity that the liquidated damages of 200 million US dollars is too large, and it is absolutely impossible for her to make up this amount.

Even if they managed to scrape it together, where would Lu Shaolong's follow-up medical expenses and her family's living expenses come from?

So it's a surefire negotiation.

Since the rise of Xiangjiang's kung fu movies, Lu Shaolong has made a name for himself with Chinese Kung Fu, and he has also gained a lot of fame in the United States-what people love is the charm of the mysterious ancient oriental country.

That's why Warner accepted Jiahe's invitation to cooperate and invest in Lu Shaolong.

Lu Shaolong's accident this time is not good, but it can also be said to be good: the bad thing is that if Lu Shaolong's kung fu movies are popular in the United States, then they will lose a tool to make money for a long time; but the good thing is that the hospital has proved that Lu Shaolong For a long time, or even in the future, it is possible that you will not be able to play kung fu anymore, so "Tiger Fight" and "Game of Death" are the last two "posthumous works" of this famous kung fu king.

Relying on this name to market, you can cut a wave of leeks at the box office.

Now it is very difficult for Lu Shaolong to "turn over", so they will definitely choose the latter method, trying to take advantage of the heat and make as much money as possible.

Of course, this truth is not only understood by Warner people, but also by Zou Yunhua, Lu Shaolong, Linda and many others in Xiangjiang, but they haven't broken their faces yet, so they all tacitly avoid mentioning this point.

Lianda took a deep breath with difficulty: Could it be that she really wants to give away her husband's hard work like this...

Seeing Linda's demeanor and movements, it was obvious that the final struggle had already begun, both Zou Yunhua and Warner secretly showed satisfaction.

"Wait!" While everyone in the meeting room was waiting with their own thoughts, Su Yun rushed in with a stack of scripts full of words and a box of video tapes, "I have a copy here that is no less than "Death's Death" "The Game" movie script, and even some of the samples that were filmed in advance!"

"Who are you?" The little girl's eyes faintly have a special pupil color that is different from that of the Chinese people. Coupled with the relatively bright and profound facial features and this fluent English, Reynolds quickly cast his gaze on Linda, wrinkled Frowning, "Is she your daughter, madam?"

"If it is, please take care of her and don't let her disturb our discussion of the film contract..."

"I really have a great new movie I want to show you!" Su Yun jumped up and down, looking more and more charming in the way she wanted to attract attention.

"No, she is my husband's student." Before Linda had time to explain further, Su Yun flung herself in front of the TV as if she was a brat that no one could care about.

Holding the videotape in one hand, she turned towards the videotape player, and while pressing the TV button with the other, she still kept shouting: "You will know it after watching it, it is definitely a movie that can also shock people..."

Because Su Yun didn't seem to be very good at using the video tape player, the snowflakes on the TV screen jumped, and then conscientiously broadcast the TV program it should broadcast first.

Before the happy cartoon theme song could finish singing, the screen jumped again, and it was replaced with a news page in English.

"Dear viewers and friends in front of the TV, please pay attention, there is an urgent news--"

"At 7:23 p.m. North American time on July 2, extremely strong hurricanes and heavy rains appeared in many places in the United States. Part of the area was submerged, and the number of destroyed buildings and the number of casualties of local people in distress are still difficult to calculate. The following video data are the disaster pictures of cities returned from aerial photography..."

Because the language of the broadcast was typical American English, both Reynolds and Dean subconsciously focused a little on the TV screen in the conference room.

It’s okay if you don’t look at it, but you will be surprised when you look at it: the familiar buildings and scenery in this vast ocean, aren’t they just...

Impossible, absolutely impossible, how could New York be submerged by a major flood? !

But the picture on the TV is indeed terrifyingly real.

Reynolds and Dean couldn't care about the negotiation any more, they stared at the TV screen until the aerial camera moved forward, and the Statue of Liberty, half of its body submerged in the water, slowly moved forward. appears on screen...

"NO——" Reynolds and Dean uttered screams at the same time, and the two began to fight for the telephone on the conference table.

In this critical situation, there is no distinction between superiors and subordinates. Relying on his youth and strength, Dean snatched the handset of the phone, and quickly pressed a series of numbers with trembling hands: "Hey, Dad, Mom? You, you Are you ok……"

Reynolds, who didn't get the phone, was running around like a chicken without a head. In the end, Su Yun pulled his sleeve and reminded: "There is still a phone here."

"Thank you, thank you..." Reynolds immediately threw himself on the small desk in the corner of the meeting room when he heard that, picked up the handset and pressed the phone, "Hello? Tina? Lori? How are you doing now?" ?”

Hearing the inexplicable replies from their family members on the other side of the phone, the distraught Reynolds and Dean suddenly spoke in unison again, explaining that they saw the news of the New York flood and said that they made a long-distance call because they were worried about their safety. call back...

Then I got even more inexplicable answers and questions from the family members on both sides.

"What?! The weather in New York is very good now?! No hurricanes, no heavy rains, no major floods?!"

"Let me stop calling you at three o'clock in the middle of the night?!"

"It's afternoon here!"

Due to the jet lag, these two men who love their families were scolded by their angry family members.

"Don't worry about jet lag, are you sure you're all right? There's no big flood in New York, right?!" After finally getting a reply from their family members that it was safe, Reynolds and Dean couldn't help but feel confused again. I looked at the TV that was still showing the aerial footage of the Great Flood in New York...

This, what is going on here? !

Seeing the confusion on the faces of the two who were still in shock, Su Yun, the instigator, picked up the remote control and pressed the screen to stop, then turned her head and smiled sweetly at the two: "Can we talk about the new movie now, both of you?" gentlemen?"

Shocked by the overly realistic special effects, Reynolds and Dean looked at each other again, and finally sat back to their original positions silently.

Seeing the two of them sitting back to their original positions, Su Yun's smile became even sweeter. She stretched out her hand and slowly pushed the proposal with the name "Artificial Intelligence" engraved on it.

If it weren't for the child who had to stand on tiptoes and lean half of his body onto the conference table to push the plan over, Reynolds and Dean on the opposite side felt in a trance that they were talking to themselves, and it was a very mature method. of adults.

After obtaining a week's "probation" from Warner through a show operation, in order to make a more detailed and sufficient proposal, Su Yun made a trip to New Jersey, USA.

After packing up her things, explaining the situation to her family and saying goodbye, Su Yun came to Lu Shaolong's ward.

"Let Ah Ying go with you. He is one of the people I trust the most, and he is very skilled. With him by your side to take care of you, I can rest assured." Lu Shaolong, seeing Su Yun ready to go out, was both relieved and worried. In the end, he had no choice but to rush Su Yun to leave, so someone helped him to inform his friend Lin Jingying to come over, "Yes, I heard Said that you still have a senior brother in the United States?"

Lin Jingying nodded: "Yes, I haven't seen him for a long time."

"That's also good, just let you brothers and sisters catch up on the old days." Lu Shaolong said.

So, Su Yun and Lin Jingying got on the plane to New Jersey together.

"I'm planning to find someone this time. My strength alone is not enough to impress Warner's top management, but if I can add him, it will definitely do." On the plane, Su Yun and Lin Jingying explained her visit Reason for travel.

"Then who the hell is this person?" Lin Jingying asked suspiciously.

"It's really a 'sacred'..." Su Yun laughed, and put the small notebook for recording things in her satchel, her gaze was very meaningful, "Stanley Kubrick, many people will It's called—"

"The God of Movies."
