I Really Didn’t Want to Be Famous

The noon sun shines in Bob's yard.

Bob looked at the smiling fat man in front of him.

Although he did not know Fatty Wei, he learned from the online encyclopedia that Fatty Wei is indeed a very good director in China. At the same time, he also had some impressions of Fatty Wei's movies.

I have to admit that Fatty Wei's smile is very sunny, and there is no sense of alienation. In short, after seeing Fatty Wei's smile, Bob somehow feels less alert to him.

He also showed a smile.

After all, the visitor is a guest and he is still willing to chat with a young and potential director like Fatty Wei.

This will make him forget his age and make him feel that he is also a young man.

He specially made a cup of fragrant hot coffee for this young man, and was about to pour it for this young man himself...

"Mr. Bob... I sympathize with you now."

"..."

Bob's smile suddenly solidified.

The hand that had been raised to pour the coffee was gradually lowered.

Although Fatty Wei's smile is very sunny...

But, who in the whole world didn't know that his "American 1900" had encountered Waterloo?

Isn't this sprinkling salt on the wound?

Or is the person unkind?

"I know Mr. Bob may not like to listen to what I say, but in fact, I am a very straightforward person. Frankly speaking, I don't think "American 1900" is the result..."

"Mr. Wei, if you are here to taunt me, please go back..." Bob's expression finally turned cold, and his whole person was as disgusting as if he had eaten a fly.

He suddenly remembered that Fatty Wei had a cameo in "Rocky", he was the best friend of Rocky, the brother of Rocky's girlfriend...

This Fatty Wei came to see that he was showing off his might?

"Mr. Bob, I have no intention of taunting you. I said that I am a very straightforward person. I don’t know any hypocritical politeness, and I never think that hypocritical politeness is of any use in front of you, Mr. Bob. To be honest, I have been a fan of you since I was a kid, and I have seen all your classic works..."

"..." After listening to Fatty Wei talking a lot about his movie in front of him, Bob's cold expression eased slightly.

Fatty Wei really doesn't seem to come over to taunt and taunt him, he really looks like his fan...

and so……

Did he come here to complain for himself?

"Mr. Bob, in 1995, you said something in the American Film Weekly. You said that you have a dream and you want to make a great movie. I even remember your original expression... …Our President Lu and Mr. Lu Yuan are also your fans. We have watched your "American 1900" release samples for a long time. Although we also felt that the editing inside was confusing, but when we watched it the second time , Mr. Lu Yuan and I both had an extremely shocking feeling...Yes, it was an indescribable shock. Through your identity as a little beggar and a thief, you have made America magnificent..."

"..." Bob listened to Fatty Wei talking about the plot of "America 1900", and at the same time, he guessed the content of "America 1900" as a personal guess, and after the essence, Bob was whole. Surprised.

Fatty Wei said seven or eight points of what "American 1900" wanted to show...

At this moment, he actually had a feeling of being a confidant!

"Mr. Bob, Hollywood is no longer the same Hollywood it used to be. It is impetuous and decayed. It only pursues short-term interests, not long-term existence... In this state, "American 1900" is not It may become a classic..."

"Mr. Wei, what have you said for such a long time..." Bob suppressed the complicated emotions in his heart that was stirred up by Fatty Wei and kept calm and looked at Fatty Wei.

"I came here this time for two things. The first thing is to watch the full version of "American 1900" seriously. The other thing is that I sincerely and very seriously invite Mr. Bob to join our company. ..."

"..."

…………………………………………

Cumbria Corporation.

"Mr. Lu Yuan, hello."

"Hello, Mr. Wilson, eh? Mr. Wilson, your hand is..."

"Oh, I scratched my hand when cleaning the glass just now."

"Well, then Mr. Wilson must be careful when cleaning the glass in the future..."

"Yes, thank you Mr. Lu Yuan for your concern... please sit down."

"okay."

"What kind of coffee?"

"Anything."

"it is good."

After Lu Yuan came to Wilson's office and sat down, he immediately noticed Wilson's arm that had just been bandaged.

Combined with the wave of old men who just went out and cursed.

Lu Yuan understood instantly.

It seems that Wilson is also a man of temperament.

"Mr. Lu Yuan, the purpose of your coming here this time is..."

"Oh, Mr. Wilson, I am here this time hoping to have some cooperation with you..."

"Cooperation?"

"Yes, Mr. Wilson, you know, most of the movies played on my Migos cinema are Huaxia movies and our company’s own old movies. I rarely cooperated with movies from other Hollywood companies. Okay, Mikos Cinemas is still quite profitable, but since June of this year, China has really not had any blockbuster movies released. Even if I get the China movies released here, the box office in the United States is very mediocre and even bad. , I heard that your company may release a blockbuster film. I hope to talk to you about licensing..."

"Mr. Lu Yuan..." After Wilson saw Lu Yuan's very serious and sincere appearance, he suddenly narrowed his eyes.

He knows the situation of the Migos theater...

Although it is not as miserable as Lu Yuan said, the box office of the movies released from May to now is really average, far less profitable than before.

After all, Huaxia movies went to Hollywood to be shown, and they were more or less unacceptable. There are really few real hit movies. It is normal for Lu Yuan to have this idea.

"You said……"

"It is difficult for us to cooperate. In fact, you shouldn't be in my office at this time, do you understand?"

"Mr. Wilson, I don't understand..."

"Mr. Lu Yuan, can I tell the truth? I hope you don't mind and don't get angry..."

"You said……"

"Mr. Lu Yuan, you are not well-known among Hollywood companies. Almost all Hollywood companies don’t like you. Since this year’s Oscars, almost all companies have privately had an unwritten rule, that is, no If you cooperate with any of your companies, we are coldly meeting you. Our Columbia is also one of the major companies in Hollywood. Although I admire Mr. Lu Yuan for your talents and I hope to cooperate with you, I am also somewhat helpless. ...Moreover, the sudden appearance of your "Rocky" made our company's "American 1900" hit a terrible blow. Many people think that our "American 1900" is your "Rocky" stepping stone, do you understand?"

"Mr. Wilson, this..." Lu Yuan lowered his head, and the whole person seemed to fall into silence.

"We have suffered a great loss. Our "American 1900" has made your "Rocky". You can have a celebration banquet and be very happy, but we are very upset, do you understand? If it was before, our cooperation is complete There is no problem, but now, when our "American 1900" encounters Waterloo, and you are regarded as the stepping stone to the **** of slaughter, if we suddenly announce that we will cooperate with you, then... how would others mock our company? Or, how would they mock our company? What about me? When I am a fool? Or a betrayer among my Hollywood counterparts? In fact, you have completely offended our company. At this time, you came and said to cooperate with me. You said, can I cooperate with you?" Wilson Looking at Lu Yuan very seriously, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

When he saw Lu Yuan's head lower and lower, he suddenly felt an endless sense of accomplishment.

No matter how strong a person is, it is no better than a group of people.

No matter how strong a company is, it cannot be better than a group of companies.

He believed that Lu Yuan also understood this truth.

While Lu Yuan wanted to ask him, he felt that he needed to beat Lu Yuan well.

after all……

The news of the past two days really made him a little unhappy.

What slaughter god, what stepping stone, what...

"Mr. Wilson...I understand." Lu Yuan raised his head and sighed long.

"Well, just understand. Actually, I am under a lot of pressure now."

"Then... I'm sorry to bother you." Lu Yuan stood up, then tidyed up his clothes, then slightly lowered his head and turned and walked towards the office door.

"Mr. Lu Yuan..."

"Ok?"

"Mr. Lu Yuan, two people are cooperating with sincerity. Do you understand what is sincerity?"

"Huh?" Lu Yuan looked back, his whole person looked a little dazed, and then looked at Wilson.

"Mr. Lu Yuan, if you give me enough sincerity, then I can consider licensing our company's big investment movies to you in the future. In fact, I also admire your talents and are willing to cooperate with you... …" Wilson continued to stare at Lu Yuan, he was suggesting.

"Mr. Wilson, I also hope that I can give you a certain degree of sincerity, otherwise, I will go back and think about it first."

"Okay, but, Mr. Lu Yuan, I hope you don't think about it for too long...After all, the heads of other Hollywood companies are not as good at talking as I am." Wilson squinted at Lu Yuan.

As if controlling everything.

"Yes, I know."

……………………………………

"Mr. Wilson."

"Alan, what's the matter?"

"Lu Yuan has been sitting on the sofa in the company lobby for six hours. Should we go..."

"No, he is considering gains and losses. I believe he can understand that if young people want to get it, then they have to give. If there is no effort, where can they get it?"

"Oh."

…………………………

Fatty Wei saw "American 1900" from the beginning to the end.

After reading it, Fatty Wei took a deep breath and went to the bathroom to secretly call Lu Yuan.

"Ayuan... how is your side?"

"I'm still in Colombia, by the way, how about the "American 1900" movie?"

"From my perspective, this is probably a great movie... This kind of great movie has been cut into a silly donkey Trojan by those **** editors..."

"Ok, I see."

………………………………

"Mr. Wilson..."

"Mr. Lu Yuan, haven't you left yet? You..."

"I am willing to spend five million dollars to buy the full copyright of "American 1900"!"

"Mr. Lu Yuan, I didn't say that I wanted to sell the copyright of "American 1900" to make you compensate me for the loss, and five million dollars. Sorry, this is not my psychological price. Your sincerity is not enough..."

"Mr. Wilson, what do you think it is?"

"Seven million dollars, after all, this is the last work of Director Bob!"

"This……"

"Mr. Lu Yuan, I hope you should know that I am not asking you to fill my box office losses. I just feel that you are not sincere enough..."

"Okay! Then seven million dollars!"

"Don't worry, Mr. Lu Yuan, this will be the least loss-making business in your life! The future benefits will continue to flow."

"I know!"
