Sign the contract, prepare materials, apply for visa...
While all this was progressing steadily according to procedure, Shen Lin encountered a visit from an old friend, Jameson from Midea Company.
This time Jameson came, he still brought his subordinate Xiao Song, but at this time Xiao Song looked at Shen Lin with a look full of respect.
Shen Lin was a little surprised by Jameson's sudden arrival, but it seemed to be reasonable. After all, they gave Lu Xiaorong a share of tens of millions of dollars. How could they just give money for such a thing?
Because the Midea Company's share was accounted for, Shen Lin had a bright smile on his face towards the person who sent the money.
Of course, this smile made Shen Lin think of Mr. Mallock. In any case, this Mallock is a qualified actor.
In Shen Lin's view, anyone who can fool others and even slap them in the face is an extremely strong person.
"Dear Mr. Jameson, it's nice to meet you." Shen Lin stood up and greeted Jameson with a smile.
Jameson looked at Shen Lin, stretched out his hands and said: "Mr. Shen, I also want to say that I am very happy to see you, but it is a pity that I really can't be happy!"
Having said this, Jameson touched his face and said, "Did you know that because of the agreement I signed with you, the general manager called me to the headquarters building and scolded me severely for half an hour?"
Shen Lin laughed and said: "Mr. Jameson, generally speaking, the coexistence of being scolded is reward."
"The success of Mars Rescue, I believe, has given you a lot of rewards. If you come here this time, do you have any good news in this regard? Please share it with me."
Xiao Song stood behind Jameson and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this Shen Lin's head is really too flexible.
It is basically impossible to take advantage of him.
But although he thought so in his heart, on the surface, he didn't say a word. He was a little secretary, and his task was to do things according to the boss's arrangements.
"Hahaha, Mr. Shen, the reason your company can grow so big is inseparable from your wisdom."
Having said this, Jameson smiled and said: "This time, I received a lot of criticism, but your wife's Martian rescue was really successful."
"I was promoted to one level. Of course, there are also quite a few rewards."
Having said this, he solemnly said: "But Ms. Lu Xiaorong's share is equally enviable!"
"If I had that much money, I could retire."
Shen Lin smiled and said nothing. He knew that Jameson came to see him definitely not to talk about this.
With Jameson's arrival, there should be other things.
"Director Shen, the huge success of The Martian Rescue has made our board of directors deeply realize the value of Ms. Lu Xiaorong's works, so I am here to discuss the next step of cooperation."
Having said this, Jameson said: "I am very optimistic about Ms. Lu Xiaorong's The Three-Body Problem, but the board of directors wants to film Ms. Lu Xiaorong's new work Wandering Planet."
Jameson said in a deep voice: "Mr. Shen, do you think we can cooperate with this work?"
Shen Lin had to say that the American side's vision was really not that accurate. After all, this movie could also be a hit.
He smiled and said: "Mr. Jameson, let me tell you something that you may not be willing to hear. Compared with the Martian rescue, I am more optimistic about the wandering planet you mentioned."
"And I plan to take pictures myself in a few years, so you can change it."
When James came this time, he was actually ready to finalize this cooperation in the same way as Wandering Planet.
After all, Lu Xiaorong is no longer a newcomer. If he continues to follow the previous method, it is absolutely impossible to succeed.
But he didn't expect that Shen Lin would actually refuse. This... this...
Xiao Song looked at the somewhat embarrassed Jameson and knew that at this time, he should relax the atmosphere, so he smiled and said: "Director Shen, I think you should first listen to the conditions brought by Mr. Jameson. I believe that, You won’t be disappointed with this condition.”
"Yes, this time I came, I also brought favorable conditions." Jameson rubbed his hands and said.
At this time, his desire to suppress Shen Lin's head had completely disappeared. Only at this moment did he realize clearly that the initiative was not in his hands.
It would be nice if we could just talk to an author like Lu Xiaorong alone, who doesn't understand anything. This guy Shen Lin is just a cunning businessman.
"Okay, Mr. Jameson, please tell me your conditions." Shen Lin glanced at Xiao Song and said seemingly casually.
"Director Shen, not only can we continue the sharing contract you mentioned before, but the cost of our acquisition of your wife's adaptation can also be increased appropriately."
"Six hundred thousand dollars, what do you think?" Jameson gritted his teeth and added the four hundred thousand dollars to six hundred thousand dollars.
The reason for this is because The Martian has already made Lu Xiaorong famous. In this case, the new film is worth the price.
Shen Lin didn't say anything. If he didn't know the value of this film, Shen Lin thought it was a good choice. However, a film that would be unparalleled in future generations, coupled with the strength of the United States, the amount of money it could earn , definitely not a small number.
The split plus 600,000 seems a bit small.
What Shen Lin just said to Jameson was not a lie. He really wanted to make this money-making movie in future generations when his company becomes bigger.
After pondering for a moment, Shen Lin waved his hand and said, "Jameson, I can feel your sincerity, but it's not okay."
"I'm really going to shoot this one myself."
Jameson looked at Shen Lin, who was a little determined, and knew that if he didn't provide sufficient conditions this time, he would probably return disappointed.
He has just been lifted up. If this kind of thing cannot be done, how should the people above look at him?
"Director Shen, one million US dollars, and the terms of the share can be negotiated. This is my greatest sincerity and my bottom line!"
After finishing speaking, he said sincerely: "No more."
Shen Lin pondered for a moment and said: "You only have the right to shoot this time. Five years later, the film and television adaptation rights of this film will still be in the hands of Ms. Lu Xiaorong. If you agree to this condition, we can sign a contract."
"If you don't agree, then forget it."
Looking at the determined Shen Lin, Jameson thought for a while and finally said: "Dr. Shen, I can agree to your condition."
"But I still have to say that dealing with you is really not a pleasant thing."
Shen Lin smiled and said: "Mr. Jameson, I hope we can have a happy cooperation. By the way, the signing of this matter will have to wait until I come back from Europa. Also, before signing the contract, I hope you can keep it confidential." .”
"I think you don't want this to happen again."
"Of course." Jameson said painfully: "I don't want anything new to happen."
