Sitting in the cafe, Daniel McLeaker's eyes hidden behind the lenses were staring at the glass door, his hands stirring together and twisting his fingers, obviously feeling a little anxious.

I went to so many film companies with DV movies and came to the St. Denis Film Festival for screening, but no one responded. All I heard were belittlements and even abuses. No one was optimistic about this movie, as if the films he and Edyado Sanziz had no value.

Suddenly, his eyelids twitched because he saw a familiar face.

Two young people who just opened the door, wasn’t one of them the one who watched it for a long time during the screening last night?

At that time, he suspected that the other party was the buyer of the film company.

Daniel McLeak watched the other party approaching and his head kept turning. Could it be that he saw the value I didn't know in this video? Or...

Maybe I can make a fortune from him.

He took this film to a film company to promote it, and with the expenses of participating in the St. Denis Film Festival, he spent tens of thousands of dollars.

No matter what, since someone wants to buy it, that is a good thing. As much as possible, you should pursue greater benefits on the basis of recovering costs.

For example, try to issue a contract or something

Try it first, let's talk about it if you don't.

Seeing the two approaching, Daniel McLeak stood up and took two steps forward, saying, "Are you Mr. Anderson?"

"Hello, Director McLeak." Ronan shook hands with him: "I am Ronan Anderson of Relativity Entertainment Group."

He also introduced the person next to him: "This is Tony Koch of Germany's Koch Pictures."

The two sides greeted each other and quickly moved to the topic.

Ronan didn't say much, and tentatively said: "Director McLeak, I represent the Relativity Company. If you want to buy your film, please give it a price."

He thought about it carefully last night that he brought back $40 million from Abu Dhabi, and Koch Films had $10 million to pay for the trip to Germany, and the tax refund revenue was $4.5 million. The company previously reserved $20 million for the profit of the Human Clear Plan.

In addition to the $5 million acquisition of Embassy Pictures, the actual production budget of the two films is $30 million, and the promotion and distribution of these two films is still in the planning stage, and there is still a large amount of funds in hand.

In addition, Judith of the bank would call him from time to time, and it was not difficult to make a loan from the bank.

If you win this film to operate, there will be no big financial problems.

Offer a price casually? So expensive? Daniel McLeaker clenched, and this is definitely not asking him to offer a price casually.

"Relativity Entertainment Group?" He was puzzled.

This company has never been heard of.

Ronan simply said: "This is a comprehensive entertainment company, with its subsidiary Zhongshahai Entertainment and Embassy Films specializing in film production and distribution."

Daniel Malik knew about these two companies. Shahai Entertainment had a horror film with a small-cost box office hit last year. Embassy Films visited last year and was rejected.

This person represents relativistic entertainment, and is estimated to have a higher status than the person who received him by the Embassy Films.

"Mr. Anderson." Daniel McLeak is in his thirties and has many ideas: "You want to buy out my "Blair Witch"?"

Ronan nodded: "Yes."

Daniel McLeak felt a little happy inside, but forced himself to suppress it. If you finally get to the present and can win more benefits, you should not give up easily.

He tentatively said: "Can we sign an issuance contract?"

Ronan glanced at Daniel McLeak and said, "This is impossible." His tough attitude showed: "If you only want to release, we don't need to talk about it."

The copyright of the distribution is not in his hands, and he takes out huge amounts of money to operate a small production that others can share with big dividends. Is he like a fool?

If he hadn't taken into account copyright issues and subsequent troubles, he could have found someone to shoot such a film.

Daniel McLeak was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Ronan to be so tough.

Ronan said another sentence: "This is just a DV video. How many people do you think can be watched by the theaters when they are released?"

Daniel McLeak wanted to say that his video would be very popular and would definitely be a big hit at the box office, but not only did he regard others as fools, but he was also a fool.

"Sell all copyrights at once." Ronan didn't seem to attach much importance to the film and said casually: "Let's get a price."

Daniel McLeak thought about it for a while and then said, "Five...500,000 US dollars."

Hearing this price, Ronan's face turned dark immediately. If the later operation is successful, 500,000 US dollars will be a huge profit, but if he can pay less, who is willing to pay more?

What's more, the newly established theory of relativity is not sufficient, and it can even be said that it is spending the money of Germans and Arabs to run the company.

Ronan gently touched Tony under the table. Tony understood and immediately said, "This director, you are so embarrassed to ask for $500,000 for just your film?"

He didn't speak loudly, but his tone was very heavy: "You are not a movie at all, but a self-portraited dv video. The content is pale, boring, and even shoddy!"

Daniel McLeak's face looked a little ugly.

Ronan then raised his hand to stop Tony from continuing: "Sorry, my German friend has a straightforward personality." He changed his voice: "But this makes sense. We barely call your work a movie. The words of the male character in the movie are actually very correct."

"What?" asked Daniel McLeak.

"I thought I was seeing a movie about witches," Ronan said slowly, "What I saw was how the characters got lost."

If someone had said that when he had just finished filming this movie, Daniel McLeak would have spitted his saliva.

But after hitting walls one after another, I lost such confidence.

Daniel McLeak retorted: "I used the novel DV documentary technique to shoot it, so that every viewer can give a very real feeling and let the audience naturally bring themselves into the witch world."

Tony asked back, "Is there any? What I saw was that the audience could not bear the rough pictures and shaking shots and left."

"This is an innovation!" Daniel McLeak is still striving for conditions that are good for himself: "This is a horror movie like a real documentary, a new genre that has never appeared in Hollywood."

Ronan laughed: "Director McLeak, do you know that innovation has a synonym for risk in Hollywood? I bought your copyright at a high price. Innovation brings me not market and profits, but huge risks!"

He put his smile away: "I can't buy a movie that produces losses."

"But this movie..." Daniel McLeak tried to argue again, but was interrupted by Ronan: "How much box office can this movie get if it enters the theater? It is very likely to be offline in a week or even three days. Do you think the subsequent videotape sales and rental will be high? $500,000? How many years will I recover $500,000."

Ronan stretched out five fingers: "Fifty thousand dollars."

Daniel McLeak was a little anxious: "Fifty thousand dollars are not enough for me to invest!"

"Director McLeak, you can shoot this movie at most $20,000 or 30,000." Ronan said deliberately: "The profit has doubled. In the film industry, this is a huge profit."

Daniel McLeaker said: "I look for travel expenses and other expenses incurred by the distribution company, as well as the expenses for participating in the St. Denis Film Festival. Isn't it the cost of this movie?"

This was heard in my ears, and Ronan quickly judged that there should be no competitor.

This way, I feel relieved.

Ronan gently touched Tony's feet again.

"You should bear these costs yourself, right?" Tony said immediately. "If you don't want to sell them, you can take them back and put them in the warehouse and get moldy."

Ronan continued: "Theory of Relativity has just been established and needs to enrich the film library, so I am willing to invest money in your works and will promote the release of this film in theaters as much as possible. Director Malik, a theater film director, is a very valuable asset and will play a very critical role in your future directorial journey."

He added: "Where are any directors who have published their works in public, and they are treated very differently at the film company."

Daniel McLeak frowned, obviously having his own thoughts. After a while, he said, "I can reduce it to 100,000 dollars, but there are conditions."

"It's still too high." Tony said in time.

Daniel McLeak ignored Tony's words and said to Ronan: "But Mr. Anderson, your company must launch this video into theaters."

Ronan smiled: "On the hundred thousand dollars are too high, and the risks are too great. However, the release of theaters is certain. If I buy this video, of course I will let it go to the theater to try it."
