242. Golf

Coppola was also ready to tee off and asked the caddy for a wood. This time he hit a distance of about 240 yards.

"Francis, you are too hesitant. You can't swing like this when you swing." Victor made a few moves to correct Coppola's movements. "Young man, would you like to join in? Give him a driver.

Rod.”

Su Butong took the wooden club from the caddy's hand, weighed it and felt it was a little light, and asked: "Is there any important club?"

"Don't you have the ability to observe? You need a wood to hit the tee shot!" Victor was using the ball to observe the young man.

"No, I insist on a more focused pole."

"Give him a No. 3 long iron. Young man, this is the heaviest rod." Victor didn't appreciate young people who talked big.

Su Butong took the iron rod, weighed it, and found it was barely usable. He put the ball down, held the iron rod with one hand, and swung it left and right.

"Idiot, your grip is wrong! A ball like yours will never go beyond 200 yards!" Victor sentenced this young man to death and felt that there was no need to cooperate further with this young man.

Coppola also sighed. He knows the temper of his old friends best, so the cooperation between Subudong and Colombia will probably be wiped out at this time. He seems to be looking for the next public relations company that can have a long-term relationship with him.

A qualified film studio for cooperation.

Su Butong ignored Victor's words. Isn't the usage of this stick similar to that of the Shaolin long stick? They hold the shaft with a "yin and yang handle" before hitting the ball, and use the power of body twisting to knock the ball away.

With luck in his hand, Su Butong saw the position of the ball and struck it out with one strike! This time, the strike was like a Shaolin stick technique, with a strong force, the ball broke through the air and soared into the sky like an eagle.

Victor even had the illusion that the ball had just opened the turf next to it, and ripples appeared!

"At least 400 yards!" Although Coppola's golf skills are not very good, his eyesight is not bad, and Subutong's shot hit the distance of a professional player!

"Young man, are you kidding me? Have you really never played golf before?" Victor looked surprised. This young man had a weird posture and wrong body shape. Why did he look like he hit the ball with a casual swing?

Is it farther than them?

"Luck, right? But golf requires more than just luck, right?" Su Butong said with a smile.

Victor thought the same thing. Maybe this kid just hit the ball so far by just hitting the ball with the right force. But only Coppola who was on the side knew that this kid was good at kung fu. What kind of luck, this kid was haunted by ghosts.

Woolen cloth!

The game continued, and because of Subutong's teeing advantage, he was always more than one stroke ahead of Victor and Coppola. They played 18 holes this time and needed to calculate the final score. Before the last hole, Subutong

There were still 300 yards away from the hole, and the last hole was on a small hill. Victor was very familiar with this venue, so he said: "I will overtake before this hole. Jack, you won't be in the lead anymore."

It's been a long time." After saying that, he hit the ball to a place only 30 yards away from the hole. This position is very suitable for putting into the hole.

Coppola also hit a good shot and pushed the ball 40 yards from the hole.

At this time, Su Butong was already 12 strokes ahead of the other two.

Subutong still used the iron rod to hoist the ball in an extremely weird posture. The ball was raised high, and then fell heavily at the highest point!

The ball hit the right spot, rolled a few times, and hit the hole!

Eagle ball!

Victor and Coppola opened their mouths. This was the first time they saw the eagle ball in an informal game!

"Oh my God, my God, what happened?" Victor put the hat in his hands and patted it in different ways, not believing that a beginner could have such good luck and skills!

"I must be dreaming today." Coppola also exclaimed.

In the end, Subutong finished the game with a 12-stroke lead, and the suspense of the outcome of the remaining two players was immediately revealed. Victor narrowly defeated Coppola by 2 strokes.

…………

The three of them sat down and chatted while resting. Victor fell in love with Subutong more and more. No matter how he looked at this kid, he liked him. Westerners and Easterners are the same, they both like people with good luck. Today they witnessed Subutong's success together.

His performance was miraculous, so he naturally wanted to get closer and closer to Subutong.

Su Butong introduced his movie, and Victor happened to have time, so he asked Su Butong to bring the film to his house and use the projector to play "August 1st Flag Flying".

After watching the movie, Victor said: "Jack, the storyboards of China's movies are pretty good and the stories are pretty good. Do you want to compete for the best foreign language film next year?"

"That's it, what do you think?" Su Butong asked.

"The film is a good one. If our Colombian company distributes the film in North America, I don't think it can't be considered." Victor gave his conditions.

"Okay, how much are you prepared to pay for it?" Su Butong thought about it and found that the other party's conditions were not harsh.

"One million US dollars." Victor said.

"If we make profits at the North American box office, how much can we share?" Su Butong did not miss any details.

Victor admired Su Butong very much and had no embarrassment in business negotiations. "20% of the total box office." Victor gave a conscientious price.

"Okay, let's sign the contract." Su Butong stopped talking and was ready to sign the contract.

"Wait a minute, but I haven't finished the calculation for you yet. Does it cost money to find a public relations company? Does it cost money to do film reviews for film releases? Does it cost money to do hard advertising? The money will be deducted from your income in advance." Victor is also the same.

Profiteers want to maximize their own profits.

"Then how much revenue do you estimate we can make?" Su Butong asked.

"No more than 3 million US dollars, which means we have to pay 3 million in advance."

"3 million? Is it enough?" Su Butong asked doubtfully. Su Butong's words made Victor and Coppola laugh. "You still think this is too little?"

"Yeah, I don't think it's 10 million." Su Butong didn't say that he planned to pay the 10 million. Anyway, judging from Victor's tone, the money came from Colombia. He can take less or not, naturally.

Okay, but missing out on the best foreign language film because of this matter is not worth the loss.

"Let me do some math for you. We now have 6,000 Oscar judges, right?" Victor said with a smile.

"Yes. Okay, we can divide the 6,000 people into three categories. People who like your movies, people who don't like your movies, and people who are ambiguous in between. Go to those who like your movies and those who don't like your movies.

Do you think canvassing for votes is still meaningful?”

Su Butong shook his head: "No."

"That is to say, for each movie, we only need to ensure that more than 1,000 centrist judges can vote for the movie. This is to protect the base. If we find that the number of votes is less than other movies, we will increase the investment. So you can

Do you understand?" Victor said.
