Anger was like a wild beast, temporarily swallowing up Zhao Sicheng's reason.
The strong unwillingness in his heart turned into reality, and he couldn't help clenching his fists. He stared at Zhou Yang, even ignoring his own demeanor.
January next year must be the time for him to establish a foothold in Hollywood. It is not only the day when he rises to fame, but also the anniversary of the Chinese director's expansion into overseas films!
He firmly believes in this sentence, and at the same time, he has sacrificed too much for this day.
Therefore, he cannot fail, let alone his own failure.
"Otherwise, we'll be fine in February."
Zhou Yang's light and seemingly naive words echoed in Zhao Sicheng's mind over and over again. Every word was like a knife piercing Zhao Sicheng's heart.
What does he mean?
Does he think that the movie I have carefully prepared for so many years is not as good as the movie he shot in half a month?
Or does he feel that he is invincible and feels that he is giving charity to himself?
Zhao Sicheng felt that he was not only slighted, but also insulted. He stared at Zhou Yang coldly.
The office suddenly became extremely silent.
Faced with Zhao Sicheng's sudden roar, Zhou Yang was obviously frightened. He looked at Zhao Sicheng with confusion in his eyes.
In addition to being puzzled, I also fell into reflection and reflected on whether I had said something wrong...
Gipps looked at Zhao Sicheng and then at Tom. His expression was very ugly, but he was someone who had seen the scene after all. His ugly expression instantly turned into a kind smile: "Mr. Zhao, I don't mean anything else.
I just think that two of the company’s movies collided with each other, and in your Chinese idiom, they were “killing each other”..."
"Mr. Gipps, the contract I signed with you is that it will be released in January. The filming and release time of "Fatal Crisis" cannot be changed!" Zhao Sicheng realized his gaffe, but the resilience in his heart was still there.
Support him and prevent him from taking a step back.
He must fight for the rights to his movie "Legal".
January in the United States is the off-season for movies, and his "Fatal Crisis" can be released during the off-season.
February is the beginning of the peak season!
Naturally, he had heard about "Steel Wolf" in February. It was a blockbuster film that was not inferior to "Superman". When it came to such a blockbuster film, no matter how confident he was in "Fatal Danger", he knew that he would be overwhelmed.
street……
After working hard for so long, how could he allow his movie to fail?
He cannot fail!
He shoulders the hope of Chinese films, and is the representative of Chinese directors in expanding their territories overseas. He must fight for himself!
"..." Although Gips still had a smile on his face, he glanced at Tom.
"Mr. Zhao, let's go down first. Let's continue talking about the schedule. I hope you believe me and I will fight for the corresponding rights and interests for you..." Tom pulled Zhao Sicheng's clothes.
"Mr. Gipps, if you are afraid of competition, then you should not sign "Saw". I can guarantee that the box office revenue of "Fatal Crisis" in January will definitely be greater than that of "Saw". I bet my
I won’t make any profit from all the box office share!” After Zhao Sicheng faced Tom’s dissuasion, he seemed to have no intention of leaving. Instead, he stared at Jeeps and expressed his great determination every word.
The air in the office suddenly became colder.
Charlotte Celie looked at this Chinese director who had lost all grace and was desperate to prove the value of his films, and she sighed slightly in her heart.
"Mr. Zhao, don't be angry first. We can talk about this matter slowly. Since you want to release it in January, let it be released in January..." After Gips faced Zhao Sicheng's expression, he still smiled: "Tom, Mr. Zhao is a little tired.
Now, please take him down to rest first."
"Mr. Gipps, I don't mean anything else. I just hope that what we talked about before will not be changed. I apologize to you for my recklessness. Please forgive me. I was really angry just now. After all, I am a "Fatal Crisis"
I have paid too much..." After hearing Gips' reply, Zhao Sicheng's firm eyes relaxed slightly, and then a trace of apology flashed across his face.
"I understand, Mr. Zhao, you are a person who loves movies very much. I believe Tom cooperated with you because of this. Okay, you have been too tired recently, go down and rest first." Gipps faced
Zhao Sicheng apologized but still kept smiling.
His voice was very gentle, blowing like a spring breeze, even giving people a warm feeling.
"Yeah." Zhao Sicheng nodded, and then left the office with Tom.
when it is time to leave……
He glanced at Zhou Yang coldly from the corner of his eye, as if he had made up his mind.
Zhou Yang was stared at by Zhao Sicheng and suddenly felt quite speechless.
There was no deep hatred between him and Zhao Sicheng. Strictly speaking, Zhao Sicheng had been targeting him since that meeting.
Naturally, he knew that his "Chainsaw" would most likely touch Zhao Sicheng's cake...
But this cake is so big that it is impossible for Zhao Sicheng to eat it alone. Without him, Zhou Yang, there would be others.
"Mr. Zhou Yang, let's go too. We don't have to sign the contract." Charlotte Saili suddenly looked at Zhou Yang with a smile.
Zhou Yang was stunned.
Gipps was also stunned, and then looked at Charlotte Celie: "Ms. Celie, are you dissatisfied with our Fox?"
"Sorry, Mr. Gipps, we are friends, we were friends before, and we will be good friends in the future... I don't want you to disrupt your previous plans because of the movie "Saw", let alone see Zhou
Mr. Yang and this Chinese director have a competitive relationship in terms of resources in the same company..." Charlotte Saili laughed.
"ah?"
"Mr. Zhou Yang, let's go..."
……………………
"Mr. Zhao, you are too reckless. Mr. Gipps is a very controlling person. He does not want anyone to challenge his authority in front of guests. You once made him unable to step down."
"Sorry, but Tom, I have my own reasons."
After leaving the office, Zhao Sicheng heard Tom sigh and say this to himself.
Zhao Sicheng naturally knew that he was too reckless and failed to control his emotions, and he also knew that he would make Gips unhappy because of this.
But he has no regrets. He needs to prove himself in Hollywood, and to prove himself, he only needs one movie. He must become famous in one fight.
The United States is a business country. As long as it is valuable, it doesn't matter if you scold the Fox CEO until he is bloody.
"I understand your mentality of sacrificing for the movie and doing whatever it takes." Tom said this after seeing Zhao Sicheng's expression.
While the two were chatting, the door to Gipps' office opened.
Gipps walked out with a smile on his face, sent Charlotte Celie and Zhou Yang to the elevator, and then waved to them.
When he saw the two people leaving, he turned around and walked towards Zhao Sicheng and Tom.
"Mr. Zhao..."
"Mr. Gipps."
"I trust Tom's vision, and I also believe in your talent. I apologize to you for changing the schedule without your consent before..." Gips looked at Zhao Sicheng, his eyes full of sincerity, and he looked very kind.
"Ah, Mr. Gipps, I was impulsive just now." Faced with Gipps' sudden apology, Zhao Sicheng suddenly felt unspeakable fear and shame, and he lowered his head subconsciously.
"It's okay. It's normal for talented people to be impulsive. We have not signed "Saw". At the same time, I will give feedback to the senior management and reserve most of the January schedule for your "Fatal Crisis" so that the company can focus on promoting this film.
Movie..." Gips patted Zhao Sicheng on the shoulder and said seriously.
"Ah, thank you so much..."
"But..." Gips looked at Zhao Sicheng: "Because I have to take a lot of risks with this decision, I will sign a sharing contract with you. If the box office of "Fatal Crisis" reaches 100 million U.S. dollars, you will share the corresponding share.
I won't lose a penny, if it doesn't reach 100 million US dollars..."
"I don't want a penny!" Zhao Sicheng clenched his fist and nodded.
"Haha!" Gips laughed, and then asked Tom to draw up a contract.
Tom looked at Gips, and then at Zhao Sicheng, whose eyes were so excited that he almost worshiped Gips.
There was no smile on Tom's face. Not only did he not smile, but he was filled with indescribable complex emotions.
He simply didn't believe that Gipps would suddenly give up on "Saw" because of a few words from Zhao Sicheng, and he didn't even think that Gipps really took a fancy to Zhao Sicheng's talent...
After signing the contract, Tom finally couldn't help but remind Zhao Sicheng when he left the Jeeps office.
"Mr. Zhao..."
"Mr. Tom, what's wrong?"
"The box office of "Fatal Crisis" must exceed 100 million, and it must surpass "Saw". If it can cause a sensation, that would be even better, otherwise..."
"Otherwise what?"
"It's okay." Tom shook his head.
"At worst, all these years of hard work will be in vain. I'll be fine."
"Come on!" Tom looked at Zhao Sicheng's optimistic look and said nothing more.
……………………
Charlotte Celie's status in the film industry is still very scary.
After leaving Fox, Charlotte Celie brought Zhou Yang to Warner Bros.
Zhou Yang saw Andrew, the general manager of Warner's distribution department, personally greeting Charlotte Celie on the first floor. When he saw Charlotte Celie, he hugged her with an extremely enthusiastic expression.
The signing of the distribution contract was very smooth, and the treatment was no different from that of local Hollywood films. They even deliberately recorded a high box office share for the funding of "Saw" and promised that in January, Warner's film business would only be responsible for "Saw".
The movie "Saw"...
Zhou Yang signed the contract smoothly, but just when it was released, the Chinese film industry ushered in its darkest moment...
