Chapter 961 I want 100 million

Chen Qi is currently facing two problems, one is Blockbuster's offense and the other is Colombia.

He seemed to have completely ignored the former and didn't care much, so he couldn't do anything about Bob Shay. The hottest thing at the moment is naturally the strike, which came too quickly, like a tornado.

Everyone was caught off guard.

Price is the same, but like most people, he feels that the strike will end soon. He is thinking about Colombia and helps Chen Qi make an appointment with Chairman Kaufman.

That morning.

Chen Qi took a car from the hotel to Columbia Company. He had to avoid the demonstration sections all the way to avoid congestion. The Oscar promotional poster was posted a few days ago, but it seemed a bit depressed - Oscar announced a delay of one week.

And he knew that a week was far from enough.

Do you think the processes, links, host's lines, funny baggage, conversations between award presenters, etc. at the Oscars are all what they think about? Of course not, they are all written by the screenwriter.

Without a screenwriter, Oprah couldn't even ask anything.

Hollywood's illiteracy attributes are no less than those in the mainland, and screenwriters are considered a group with a higher cultural level.

"Didi!"

The car stopped in front of the building. Price had been waiting for a long time. He was really concerned about today's meeting and kept reminding him: "Kauffman is a serious person, has a strong personality, and likes to be aggressive in his speech..."

"What a coincidence, so do I!"

"I know, I know! The situation is special now, I just hope you don't make arguing and have a good communication."

"Although you like to find young Latin American models, you are really good. You are like a pure white lotus in Hollywood." Chen Qi smiled.

"What lotus? What does it have to do with flowers?"

Price didn't understand this metaphor, so he soon arrived at the office door, accompanied him in first, and greeted him: "Mr. Kaufman, Mr. Chen is here!"

Then he stepped out, Chen Qi gave him a wink and reassured him. He turned his head and looked inside and saw a classic old white man sitting behind the wide desk.

The so-called classic is the strong facial lines, the low voice, the exquisite dress, meticulous and sharp eyes, and the ownership of "the smelly people from other places came to Hollywood to beg for food."

"Please sit down, Mr. Chen!"

Kaufman didn't get up, but just reached out to signal, and said directly: "Press said you want to see me, I wonder what's wrong?"

"I want to see you, but I think you should want to see me too." Chen Qi smiled.

"Oh? Why is this?"

"It's very simple. You guys need my help now!"

"Haha! Mr. Chen, you're too confident. There's nothing in Colombia that needs your help."

"I guessed wrong, I said goodbye."

Chen Qi didn't talk nonsense, and then walked away with his butt. Kaufman was stunned. Seeing that this guy was really strode out, he opened the door, so he had to say, "Okay okay, we can talk, with a sincere attitude."

"I can be sincere, but you may not!"

Chen Qi started to swear without hesitation: "Colombia has been operating in a mess in recent years. The box office hits are either using my scripts or acting on my films! Without me, your performance will be reduced by at least 30%!

So put away your arrogant attitude, I took the initiative to talk to you in the face of Price. I can definitely find another company. Without me, you can only get the gifts of the Japanese, and you can't make any more money!"

“…”

Kaufman's face turned red and white, and he didn't care about putting on the spectrum of the sky-width pattern, because he really needed Chen Qi, so he had to stand up and smile: "Mr. Chen! I apologize for my negligence just now, and welcome you to my office!"

"I accept it, I'm very generous."

The two of them shook hands formally, and someone came to entertain them, and served a cup of orthodox Chinese tea.

This shows that this old boy was prepared for a long time. He would express his attitude according to Chen Qi's attitude: If you are humble, he will be arrogant. If you want to mess with him, he will reason with you... This has always been like this.

"Si Liu!"

Chen Qi took a sip of tea and tasted it, which was different from Gaozi. This is the best Chinese green tea, which is worth at least 34% of the tariff.

"There is one important thing right now. Our film "The Devil's Little Overlord" needs re-filming. I hope you can get your help." Kaufman stopped pretending and started talking about the serious matters.

"How many scenes are there?"

"Two minutes, the director hopes to add some lines and descriptions of psychological activities."

"No problem. But I don't need to sign it anymore," said Dr.

Like other companies, Colombia also encountered screenwriter Huang. Chen Qi readily agreed: "Let's talk about big events. I heard about Sony's news. Will Colombia really be sold?"

"After the acquisition of Coca-Cola, its performance has been bad and the group has a lot of opinions."

"That's just about selling it! Price said you want to mention "Rain Man" to the summer season. I have an offer, just listen..."

Chen Qi thought about it and said, "The Rain Man is indeed a masterpiece. When it comes to summer vacations, it is nothing more than a bet on the box office to raise your stock price. But this film is very special. It is essentially an art film, but it has strong commercial potential. It depends on how to promote it. If it is not properly operated, it is easy to fail.

I can take over the promotional and promotion planning of "Rain Man", and I will ensure the box office results. Correspondingly, you will give me a similar share of the accounts.

However, the goal may not be achieved with just one movie "Rain Man". Sony is rich and generous, so we can't help but feel sorry for the Japanese who floated into the sky..."

When Kaufman heard this, he couldn't help but smile and said, "I like your evaluation of the Japanese. Do you mean to make another movie and impact the stock price?"

"Not one! It's two!"

Chen Qi raised his finger and said, "These two films plus "Rain Man" are the base of three films, which is enough to raise the stock price."

"How is this possible?"

Kaufman shook his head repeatedly and said, "We must release this year to let the Japanese see box office results. It's already March, and you have to complete two movies in less than 9 months left, and you still have to guarantee a good box office?

Chen! I know you are awesome, but this kind of thing has never happened in Hollywood."

Hollywood productions, medium productions, and the cycle is naturally long. Small productions or B-level films have a very fast cycle and can get a drama in one month. But the key is that you have to guarantee the box office!

Adding this, it will be very, very difficult.

"It's useless to say more, we can write it in the contract."

Chen Qi said: "First, I will be responsible for the promotion and promotion planning of "Rain Man". At the same time, I also account for 32% of the investment. I require a equal share of the accounts."

"Second, we jointly invested in the two new films, both of which were small productions, just several million, and shared copyright. If the results are mediocre, ok! It was normal for us to cooperate, but if the stock price was really raised, I still want the reward I deserve!"

"How many?" Kaufmann was shocked.

"One hundred million dollars!"

"This is impossible!"

"Nothing is impossible! And I don't want to wait. If the first film is good, it will prove my ability. You have to give me the 100 million first! This money is not something you pay, but the Japanese, you just pay it first.

If the Japanese really decide to acquire, what is the 100 million yuan?"

Chen Qi is talking about two things, one is "Rain Man" and the other is two new films. I will help you raise the stock price and give me money.

Kaufman can choose one, either, or neither.
