China Entertainment started from Nortel 96

Because of Qi Wei's interference, Zhang Weiping and others did not reach a cooperation agreement with Harvey Weinstein on "Heroes" during this meeting.

"interesting."

Harvey Weinstein, who was sitting on a chair, watched Qi Wei and Zhang Weiping leave. He didn't look away from Qi Wei until they disappeared into the white world outside.

Then he said to the assistant beside him: "Help me investigate this young man named Qi Wei. I want his detailed information."

After all, this is a business that may involve tens of millions or even tens of millions of dollars, and Harvey Weinstein will not give up so easily.

But he is used to getting nothing for nothing, and he is not willing to spend a lot of money.

But as the saying goes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you will be victorious. Now all the obstacles to cooperation lie with Qi Wei. He needs to understand Qi Wei and find out Qi Wei's weaknesses, and then prescribe the right medicine.

The corners of his mouth could not help but curve upward, as if he was determined to win.

When he arrived at the hotel where he was staying, Zhang Weiping finally couldn't help but ask: "Sony Columbia is really willing to invest 1500 million yuan in "Heroes"?"

"Is that true? I haven't talked to Sony Colombia. Their bid should still be 1000 million meters, but we should still be able to negotiate." Qi Wei shook his head and said.

Hearing this, Zhang Weiping was stunned for a moment and couldn't help rolling his eyes, showing a speechless look on his face.

It’s not like he has never dealt with major Hollywood film and television companies like Sony Columbia before.

Although each of these big Hollywood companies looks very wealthy with their big businesses, in fact each one is stingier than the last.

What's more, if you want to sell your movie to their market, you are begging others and relying on others.

Then others are naturally the stronger party. They will get whatever they say, and there is no room for bargaining at all.

This is indeed the case for domestic filmmakers, but it is different for Qi Wei.

Now Sony is bent on bringing Qi Wei under its banner, and has given Qi Wei very generous conditions. If Qi Wei is willing to change jobs, it is not impossible for Sony to invest an additional 500 million meters in "Heroes".

But "Hero" is a joint project with Zhang Weiping and others after all, and the interests belong to everyone. There is no need for Qi Wei to sacrifice his own interests to benefit everyone. If he really wants to change jobs, it wouldn't be a good idea to use these 500 million yuan as a signing fee.

Of course, Qi Wei has no plans to change jobs yet.

"I knew that was the case. Why did you refuse Harvey's price?" Zhang Weiping said with a slightly complaining tone.

"Sony Columbia obtains the distribution rights in North America through investment. We can get the money first, so we don't have to worry about raising investment."

"But when we cooperate with Harvey, as long as we sign a contract, we have this contract, which confirms that "Heroes" can be released on a large scale in North America and guarantees that the cost of at least 1500 million US dollars can be recovered. I believe that there will be many investors in the country who are interested in it." interested
I can guarantee that all the funds will be raised before the filming of "Hero" starts."

This is the same as the common people can donate only if the squire donates.

Qi Wei looked at Zhang Weiping and Lao Mouzi, and it could be seen from the expressions on their faces that they were more willing to cooperate with Harvey Weinstein.

Qi Wei couldn't help but smile and asked: "Are you sure that after our movie is filmed, he can really buy out the North American distribution rights of "Hero" for more than 1500 million yuan?"

"He said he could sign a contract with us first and pay a small deposit in cash."

"How much is the deposit? I estimate it won't exceed 50 meters."

Zhang Weiping suddenly fell silent because when he had a private chat with Harvey Weinstein before, the other party was only willing to pay a deposit of 20 yuan.

He heard Qi Wei continue to say: "50 yuan is just a drop in the bucket compared to our blockbuster film, which has invested 3000 million yuan. If you sign such a contract with him, it will not be binding at all. If he breaks the contract by then, Well, what should you do if you don’t want to pay the agreed price? Could it be that you still have to litigate with him?”

This is someone else's territory, and there's no way you can get any benefit from a lawsuit here.

After Zhang Weiping was silent for a moment, he glanced at Lao Mouzi and said: "This Harvey is a big shot in Hollywood. He is very sincere in doing business. He should not do such a breach of trust. I still believe in his character." .”

"You believe in his character, but I don't."

Qi Wei sneered and then said:

"Mr. Zhang, if you carefully investigate this Harvey, you will find that he is definitely not the kind of person you imagined.

Harvey's usual trick was to buy the North American rights to the film at a high price, and then publicly publicize the purchase, so that everyone who wanted to buy the film gave up because everyone knew he had bought it.

But that’s not the end yet. He will pay you a small deposit first and delay you for a while. He will tell you that he is willing to sacrifice this deposit and no longer buy the North American copyright of this film because no one has bought it at this time. You can only beg him again, and he will lower the price at this time. The original price of 1500 million knives, he may only offer 200 million knives."

In later generations, Zhang Weiping and others chose to cooperate with Harvey Weinstein, which also led to twists and turns in the release of "Hero" in North America. The release date was pushed back and forth, and it was not released in North America until two years after it was released in mainland China.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see the reason. It was clearly Harvey Weinstein who used this trick.

"It can't be like this." Zhang Weiping and Lao Mouzi still couldn't believe it.

"This Harvey has run many European literary and artistic films. Mr. Zhang has connections in Europe. If you ask around a bit, you will know whether what I say is true."

Zhang Weiping and Lao Mouzi looked at each other, then nodded and said:

"Well, I will fly to Europe immediately. I will contact my friends there and I will investigate clearly."

In fact, Zhang Weiping is not a fool. Otherwise, with his outsider background, he would not have started a film career.

In the final analysis, it is because Harvey Weinstein is so well-known in Hollywood. He has produced many excellent independent films. At this time, the industry's fascination with Hollywood will indeed make people overlook some things.

This Harvey Weinstein also tried his best and deceived many well-known domestic filmmakers in later generations.

"Don't let me worry anymore, why can't you let me sing and act with peace of mind."

"Hahaha, we get it."

"."

After chatting with Zhang Weiping and the others, the matter came to an end for the time being. Qi Wei did not stay in Hollywood, but immediately got on a plane to Vancouver.

Tomorrow is Christmas, and Qi Wei will spend Christmas with Zhou Huimin and the baby.

Wang Zuxian is still in the stage of choosing a house. She lives in a hotel in Vancouver.

After Zhou Huimin learned about this situation, she very enthusiastically invited Wang Zuxian to stay and spend Christmas together.

In the end, Wang Zuxian was too kind to refuse.

Zhou Huimin's words of love and her happy look during the day have been echoing in Wang Zuxian's mind.

It made her so upset that she couldn't sleep.

In the guest bedroom, from nine o'clock to twelve o'clock, she tossed and turned on the bed.

Suddenly Wang Zuxian got up from the bed.

"Wrong! They are wrong! Love is one-to-one. If you really love someone, how can you be willing to share it with others? This is not love at all."

But the cracks in her heart that had been hammered open could not be restored to their original state no matter how much they tried to repair them. Wang Zuxian's heart was always shaken.

But she was unwilling. She wanted to prove that her view of love was right.

So she took out her phone and found a phone number.

After hesitating for a long time, she dialed the phone number.

At this moment, Yan Danchen, who was far away in Beijing, received an unfamiliar number from Vancouver. She was a little surprised, but finally chose to answer the call.

"Hello, I'm Yan Danchen. Who am I?" "It's me Wang Zuxian. I didn't bother you by calling you so late, right?"

Yan Danchen was stunned for a moment. It was only four o'clock and it was not dark yet.

But she quickly realized that Beijing was sixteen hours happier than Vancouver, and it was twelve o'clock in the morning there.

Yan Danchen smiled and replied: "No, it's four o'clock in the afternoon here, and I just finished class. Sister Wang, it's early morning over there, right? Do you have insomnia if you're up so late?"

"Well, I have a little bit of insomnia, and I just want to find someone to chat with for the rest of the day. Are you free now?"

"Of course, I'm free now. Sister Wang, what do you want to talk to me about?" Yan Danchen found a place to sit down.

"Let's talk casually."

Wang Zuxian thought for a while and asked, "You have gone back to school now."

"Yes, I will come back after the filming is over. Sister Wang, our filming was very good. I will definitely give you a surprise when the time comes."

"Oh, then I'm looking forward to it. Will Qi Wei go back to school with you?"

"No, he is a very busy man. He still has scenes to shoot."

"But today is Christmas, and he's not with you to celebrate the holiday?"

Yan Danchen smiled and replied: "Sister Wang, we are all Chinese. We have to celebrate our traditional festivals. We have never been in the habit of celebrating Christmas."

"But even if you don't have the habit of celebrating Christmas, don't you want to be with him on days like this?"

"Of course I want to, but I won't force it. I know he is very busy. To tell you the truth, he is not in the country right now. He is handling things in Hollywood, Los Angeles. Speaking of which, he is closer to you than to me."

Hearing this, Wang Zuxian suddenly felt that Yan Danchen was arrogant, and couldn't help but rolled his eyes speechlessly.

He shook his head and asked, "Are you sure he is in Hollywood now?"

"Of course, I'm sure." Yan Danchen replied with certainty.

Wang Zuxian took a breath and asked again: "Then do you know who I met in Vancouver?"

"Huh?" Yan Danchen already felt that there was something wrong in Wang Zuxian's words, but he still asked very innocently: "Then who did you meet?"

"I met Qi Wei." Wang Zuxian replied with a very certain tone.

"Are you sure? You can't be dazzled, right? What is he doing in Vancouver?"

"I'm pretty sure I saw him in Vancouver."

In fact, Qi Wei was on the plane back to Vancouver, and Wang Zuxian had not met Qi Wei.

Wang Zuxian then asked: "Did you know that Qi Wei came to Vancouver? Do you know what he came to Vancouver to do?"

Seeing the silence on the other end of the phone, Wang Zuxian said slowly: "He came to Vancouver to date a woman and to spend Christmas with a woman."

After finally saying what she wanted to say, Wang Zuxian breathed a long sigh of relief, and then she began to wait for Yan Danchen's reaction.

But there was no response from the other end of the phone for a long time.

"Yan Danchen, are you still there?" Wang Zuxian asked quickly.

"Yes." Yan Danchen just responded softly, appearing very calm.

"Huh? Can't you give me some other reaction?"

"Haha." Yan Danchen sneered twice, "What reaction do you want me to give you? Do you want me to be jealous or do you want me to say something envious?"

"Um?????"

Wang Zuxian reacted immediately and said quickly: "You don't think the woman I'm talking about is me, do you?"

"Isn't that right? He once told me that you are his screen goddess. He invited you to guest star just to fulfill his dream. You are also the woman he is interested in."

"Uh" Wang Zuxian never expected Yan Danchen to say these words. She suddenly thought of Qi Wei and became confused again.

She quickly said: "Since you know he has thoughts about me, why didn't you stop her? Why did you let him invite me to guest star?"

"Because I love him, as long as he is happy, I can do anything for him."

Yan Danchen smiled bitterly and added: "At least he still respects me and kept his distance from you while filming "Savage Girl", so he wants to spend Christmas with you in Vancouver, so just let you go.

Don't worry, I won't be jealous, let alone follow your wishes, I won't leave him. "

Where is this going?!

"You misunderstood us!"

Wang Zuxian quickly explained: "Don't worry, I have no interest in him at all, not at all. I hate scumbags, very much. I wish all the scumbags in the world would die for me, even if all the men in the world died." , I won’t even have the slightest interest in him.”

Although Wang Zuxian's words were so harsh, Yan Danchen on the other end of the phone just sneered twice, seemingly not believing what Wang Zuxian said.

Wang Zuxian shook her head speechlessly, and could only continue: "The woman I am talking about is not me, but someone else. She is the woman who once had an affair with Qi Wei. She is a relatively well-known female singer in Hong Kong City. Qi Wei once gave her He has written songs and is about the same age as me.”

It's just a matter of saying the person's name. You almost don't have to guess who it is?
"You're not talking about the princess, are you?"

"Uh" Wang Zuxian really can't believe that Yan Danchen could guess wrong.

"Okay, just kidding. The princess is in Hong Kong now. I know you are talking about Zhou Huimin."

"Since you know her, you are still in the mood to joke." Wang Zuxian felt very surprised.

"Why are you not in the mood to joke? I have already told him that I love him. As long as he is happy, I can do anything for him. Even if he is fooling around with other women, I can turn a blind eye."

Why is it here again? Wang Zuxian thought of Zhou Huimin during the day, who almost had the same view of love.

You've been brainwashed too seriously, right?

But she couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

Then Wang Zuxian retorted loudly: "You don't love him at all. Love can't tolerate sand. How can you tolerate him having other women if you love him? You are obviously compromising because he can bring you benefits. You I don’t love him at all!”

But Yan Danchen remained calm and answered very calmly:

"Just because you have a loud voice doesn't mean you are right. Your love can't tolerate sand, but it doesn't mean I am the same. Everyone loves someone in a different way. I can't understand your way, so I won't try to understand either." The way you love someone, I know that I love him and he loves me too..."

Hearing what Yan Danchen said, Wang Zuxian laughed.

"You said you loved him and he loved you too, but you never thought that this was just wishful thinking on your part? He doesn't love you as much as you thought."

Yan Danchen was about to retort when he heard Wang Zuxian roar: "If he really loved you, he wouldn't let other women give him children without telling you!"

"What! What did you say! Who gave birth to a child!"

In shock, the book in Yan Danchen's hand slipped to the ground.

Different views on love collide again, and this time Wang Zuxian seems to be better. (End of chapter)
