Just when two unlucky eggs Dennis and Ed Yaduo fought hard to prepare for the sequel to "The Witch Blair", Yi Feiyang, who was on the edge of the wave, received a call from Mr. Gusta of Lionsgate Films, saying that he had something to do with He interviewed.

It is said that Mr. Gusta is both surprised and happy. I am pleased that the box office of Witch Blair is so powerful that it has smashed US dollars in North American and overseas markets, and Lionsgate 's fame is also as Yi Feiyang said before. The popularity has increased significantly, even those established companies such as MGM and Paramount. I also had to look straight at their "little brother". What surprised Gusta was that the box office really had 200 million, which means that his agreement with Yi Feiyang about the box office of more than 200 million and the share reached 30% came into effect.

This is embarrassing for Gusta, a banker. It is not that Gusta was distressed by the money, but that his vision was wrong and he lost to this young Chinese. It is absolutely impossible. Tolerant.

After all, Gusta was a big boss. After thinking about it, he called Yi Feiyang and asked him to discuss the following contract matters.

When Yi Feiyang reached Gustav's president's office, Gusta just hung up a phone, motioned to Yi Feiyang to sit casually, then got up and walked to his own wine cabinet, and picked up a bottle of champagne in Bordeaux, France.

"Dear Yi, come, let's celebrate it well." Then, Gusta handed a glass of champagne to Yi Feiyang.

"You have also seen the success of this show. As you expected, the North American box office and overseas box office just exceeded 200 million. If we go on this situation, I estimate that the total box office may reach 260 million. We Lion The division between the door film company and the major theater lines is recognized by Hollywood as a 40% or 60% share. That is to say, our company can get 40% of this 260 million, which is calculated to be about 100 million; if the cost of copying is removed, the publicity cost , And the tax collected by the axe, there are about 80 million left; and you and I have previously signed an agreement, if the box office broke 100 million, you will receive a 15% bonus, if the box office can break 200 million, then the 30% bonus, now that you win, you can get 30% of this 80 million, which is 24 million US dollars. God, congratulations, China Easy, you will soon become 10 million Rich man! "

Gustav raised his champagne glass and touched it with Yi Feiyang.

Yi Feiyang was not as simple as Gusta thought, and asked, "Is this 24 million estimated to be a promissory note? When will I get it?"

This sentence is the point. Lao Tzu is short of money, but you only mention the number. Don't mention payment, isn't this a pit father? Take the money in your own hands, this is the last word!

Sure enough, Gusta smiled and said, "Dear Yi, I understand that you are eager to get your share early, but things need to be taken slowly. Now the North American box office has almost been counted, but the overseas box office is still unknown. In addition, the division of the theater line to be dealt with in the later stage and the taxation of political axe, etc., will take some time, won't it? "

"I can wait, but how long will it take?"

"Why, dear Yi, do you need much money? If you need it, you can speak. I can help you pay a little bit. After all, as friends, don't you help each other?"

"Thank you, Mr. Gusta, thank you for your kindness, but I just want to get my money as soon as possible! You can say it plainly, how long do I have to wait?" Yi Feiyang stopped eating his set.

"Oh, don't worry, my dear is easy, although our company is not big, but the work efficiency is still very high ... now it is October, I will let you get this amount at Christmas at the latest."

"In other words, do I have to wait another two or three months?"

"Yes, you can say so. Please believe me, I came from a bank. I am most concerned about these accounts. If I change to another company, I will probably wait for the first half of the year!"

Gusta was right in saying this. As a banker, he pursued the efficiency of capital circulation. The slow return of the box office was also a headache for him. But Gusta knew more clearly that no matter how much money, he had to hold it in his own hands for a while, because the money can generate a lot of interest.

For example, this time, in fact, the North American box office has basically been settled, and the overseas box office has almost arrived in about half a month. However, Gusta intends to postpone the checkout to Yi Feiyang for one or two months because of the $ 24 million Will bring him tens of thousands of interest during this time!

Money is money, it is eternal truth!

As a banker, Gusta knew this truth from his own urination.

Where does Yi Feiyang know the idea of ​​this lion, even if you know it, you can do nothing. After all, this is the case for many Hollywood movie companies. Delaying the split is the inevitable magic weapon to alleviate the shortage of capital chain.

"How, easy, if you really need money, I can personally ..."

Gustave reiterated that he would lend some money to Yi Feiyang, but Yi Feiyang refused again. "Thank you, Mr. Gusta. I think I have to wait for two months. After all, I feel like spending my money. It's easy, isn't it? "

"Well, dear Yi, since you are so persistent, I will not force you anymore, but if you have any situation, despite telling me, how can we be a good partner, I will try to help you. "Gusta looked very kind and cared about Yi Feiyang. But then he turned around and said, "Besides, there is one more thing, dear Yi, I want to talk to you."

Yi Feiyang looked at the strange expression on the other side, and suddenly felt restless.

"You know, dear Yi, there are some bad guys in Hollywood who like to follow suit. Often when a show becomes popular, they will make a sequel with great fanfare. In order to prevent this now, I think it is necessary for us Isn't the sequel to "The Witch Blair"? "Gusta found a cigar and handed it to Yi Feiyang, who shook his head and said he didn't like smoking cigars.

Gusta lit the cigar by himself and took a sip: "Well, how do you say, I am very happy to work with you this time, just don't know if you have any plans to start a sequel?"

"Sequel shooting? Oh sorry, I haven't considered it yet." Yi Feiyang told the truth.

"It doesn't matter. I have two friends to introduce to you." Gusta slaps and slaps. "Let them come in!"

With the applause of Gusta, Yi Feiyang's "old friend" Denis and Eduardo came in.

"I'm glad to meet you, dear Chinese guy ... oh no, it should be a billion dollar leader!" Dennis said in an ironic tone.

Mr. Gustav was clearly dissatisfied with Dennis's tone, "Would you please stop using this kind of anticipation and dear friendliness? I hope you will be friends, not enemies."

Dennis shrugged, not commenting.

Ediyado smirked: "Yeah, friend, we can be friends and make a sequel to" Witch "together, but this time a guy can't pick up any more!"

Gusta was helpless, looking back to Yi Feiyang and said, "Now you should understand what I mean?"

Yi Feiyang took a deep breath, "In other words, is that the mysterious company preparing to invite the two to shoot the sequel to" Witch ", is Lions Gate Pictures?"

"Yes, we are the so-called mysterious company ... In the contract we signed, it should be made very clear that the copyright of" Witch "already belonged to our Lions Gate Films when we signed, so I hope you can Understand, I ca n't let the Witch sequel be filmed by another company! "Gusta said resolutely." It 's like a prey captured by a lion. It ca n't be shared with other companies. I 'm going to put the "Witch" This brand continues to do, yes, to maintain the box office and word of mouth, our Lionsgate film industry will continue to rise! "

This time, Lions Gate Films relied on "The Witch Blair" to get the biggest benefit. Gusta's ambitions began to expand. He hoped to open Hollywood as quickly as possible and let his company rise rapidly.

"I understand your mood very well, Mr. Gusta, so now, what do you want me to do?" Yi Feiyang said, pointing to Dennis, "play a clown with them, do you cooperate?"

"Oh no, specifically, you have the experience of propaganda, and they have the experience of shooting. If you can assist them, I think the sequel to" Witches "will definitely do more with less!"

Yi Feiyang smiled, "What did you say? Let me assist them?"

The two unlucky eggs were bulging, "Why, you don't want to? Don't forget, it's you who stole our work. It should be us, not you!"

"Hahaha!" Yi Feiyang laughed. "If theft is even a purchase, then the entire United States is a paradise for thieves! But until now, I still doubt your IQ ..."

"Damn!"

"hateful!"

...

"Okay! Alright! Don't make a noise!" Gustad stopped. "I don't care what you have, I hope you can write off all from now! Yes, write off! Use all your thoughts to shoot this movie On the sequel to the play, I hope to see this work in the shortest possible time! Understand, dear friend! "Gustav abandoned the kind expression just now and said in a commanding tone.

Dennis and Eduardo, who were still hanging out, were embarrassed and stopped talking.

Only Yi Feiyang smiled and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Gusta, I always like to go it alone and don't like to cooperate with people, especially with such people, idiots ..."

"Shit, what do you say?"

"Who is an idiot, what do you say ?!"

...

Gusta had a headache. He had always been planning and had no things that he couldn't control, but this Yi Feiyang made him feel that it was difficult to control for the first time.

"Well, dear Yi, I already understand what you mean, but I still hope you don't regret it. After all, the first play also has a lot of credit for you. I hope to work with you to create another miracle!"

Yi Feiyang smiled, "Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Gusta. But I will never cooperate with these guys!"

"Damn, it should be that we don't cooperate with you!"

"Who do you think you are, damn Chinese guy! If you didn't lie to us, you wouldn't be so troubled!"

...

"You've seen it, Mr. Gusta, we are hostile to each other and we can't cooperate. It's the next time." Yi Feiyang turned to leave.

Gusta behind him said, "Dear Yi, I hope you will not regret it!"

Yi Feiyang paused for a moment and understood the meaning of Gusta's sentence. In Hollywood, there is no friendship, only interests.

Yi Feiyang took a deep breath and then stepped out.

Looking at his back, Gusta sighed, then turned back and said to Dennis and Eduardo in a deep way: "I don't want to say anything, I just want to tell you, if you really want to step on someone's foot , This time, you must win, understand ?! "

...

Yi Feiyang stepped out of Gusta's president's office, and met his own "old acquaintance" on the aisle --- Mike Director.

Supervisor Mike was humiliated by Yi Feiyang last time and couldn't look up. He didn't have the slightest impression on this damn Chinese guy. If anyone in the world wants Yi Feiyang to go out and be killed by a car, then Mike is undoubtedly the first.

Seeing Yi Feiyang, Director Mike pretended to be enthusiastic and said, "Well, look, man, who is this? Isn't that the billion-dollar director? Oh right, look at my last name, it seems that the film is someone else It 's filming, someone is just a mean second-hand dealer! Oh, the United States is now full of miracles. Anyone can be developed, and even by selling second-hand movies, they can make millions! "

For the sneer and sarcasm of the dwarf winter gourd Mike, Yi Feiyang was too lazy to pay attention, and was trying to pass through him. Then Mike came over again and said, "Are you surprised? How come the two fools you cheated here? Tell you, they were invited by me, yes, it is me! I just want to see At first glance, can this authentic "sorceress" sequel beat you up as a counterfeit! How about, without the witch copyright, are you interested in starting a new play and fighting with us? Who is the true billionaire director, billionaire screenwriter ?! "

Supervisor Mike laughed very disdainfully. With the support of Mr. Gusta, this sequel to "Witch" will surely sell well. As for this damn Chinese, let's go home and eat shit!

Looking at Mike's insidious and cunning face, the villain was determined to speak, Yi Feiyang couldn't help laughing, and approached him and said, "Do you know if you are the most annoying?"

Did n't wait for Mike to answer, Yi Feiyang punched him on the fat belly, "It's your face, and your belly!"

"Oh!" Director Mike howled, squatting down on the ground, covering his stomach.

"I didn't expect there was such a lack of smoking in this world!" Yi Feiyang shook his head and left.

Supervisor Mike is behind, "Shit, you rude Chinese guy! Let's die, whoops! It hurts me!"
