"Good morning, Mr. Lu Yuan, did you sleep well yesterday?"
"Haha, not bad, Mr. Lewis, come in first, well, this is what you have in your hand..."
Early in the morning, as soon as Lu Yuan went downstairs, he saw Louis standing at the door and being stopped by security guards.
Louis was carrying large and small bags. After being stopped by the security guard, there was no other extreme expression on his face. Instead, he waited calmly below. At the same time, he showed a non-obnoxious smile to everyone. From a distance, his fat body seemed to cooperate.
The dark circles around his eyes resemble the national treasure giant panda.
After seeing Louis looking so naive, Lu Yuan welcomed Louis in.
When he saw the large and small bags that Louis was carrying, Lu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly.
"Oh, this is a little gift, Mr. Lu Yuan. After thinking about it over and over last night, I realized that some unpleasant things may have happened between our theater chain and your company before. I am once again sorry for my father's recklessness and
I apologize to you unreasonably... To express my apology, this is the contract I drafted. Please take a look, is this okay?" After seeing Lu Yuan, Louis quickly showed a more naive smile, and his back looked a little rickety.
Although he is an American, he still understands Chinese etiquette customs that are not strange to many people.
at the same time……
He thought about the word sincerity for most of the night, and finally suddenly realized it at dawn in the morning.
He understands!
Be sincere with your mouth, be sincere with your body, and be sincere with your hands!
Come and talk in my office, by the way, Mr. Lewis, have you had breakfast?" Lu Yuan did not say the same polite words as others about why they brought these gifts when they were all here.
He doesn't really like these hypocritical things.
Anyway...
He doesn't refuse anyone who comes!
"Ah... not yet..." Lewis was stunned.
"Oh, if you haven't had breakfast, please wait a moment and I will make you a breakfast."
"Ah, how is this possible? This... Mr. Lu Yuan, this is really too much trouble for you. Wait, Mr. Lu Yuan, with your status, you still make breakfast by yourself? Didn't you hire a maid?"
"Haha, no, I'm not used to this, and I basically get up every day. No matter how busy I am, I will take some time to make myself a delicious breakfast... Mr. Lewis, do you like milk sandwiches?"
"Ah, I quite like it."
"That's fine, you can sit here for a while first."
"good!"
Louis watched Lu Yuan put on an apron and walked into the kitchen, and then he sat there quietly.
About ten minutes later, Louis heard the noise outside the house. He subconsciously walked to the window and looked outside the yard.
He suddenly saw several people in similar suits and ties standing outside the house...
He knows all these people...
It seems that he is the person in charge of several other theater chains?
After seeing them, Lewis's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and he suddenly had a bad premonition.
Could it be that they...
Do you want to come over and compete too?
Louis wanted to say something, but at this moment, the door opened.
Forrest walked into the company in a hurry. It seemed that he didn't see Louis because he was in such a hurry.
What happened?
Louis looked at the noise outside the house that seemed to be getting louder, and at the same time contacted Forrest's hurried expression...
Subconsciously, he walked cautiously towards the kitchen.
Just then, he heard the conversation between Lu Yuan and Forrest.
"Boss, the people in charge of Meiwei Cinemas, Sky City Cinemas, Goffin Cinemas and others are waiting for you outside. They want to chat with you."
"Chat? What to talk about?"
"They brought a sharing contract, they wanted the rights to broadcast Saw..."
"What conditions did they offer?" Lu Yuan's faint voice sounded.
"I just want to have a chat with you, hoping to reach cooperation..."
"No more?"
"No more."
"Oh, there's nothing to talk about with me. You tell them that as long as they show enough sincerity, cooperation can be considered..."
"Boss, your sincerity refers to..."
"When you, Mr. Forrest, and Mr. James talked to them, what was their share?"
"Their split is four to six."
"Oh, then this time we are also four and six. This time we are six and they are four. If you are willing, you can cooperate. If you are not willing, then...sorry!"
"Then, should you let them in..."
"No, I only made breakfast for two people. It's not suitable for them to come in, and we don't have anything to entertain them when they come in..."
"Okay! I understand!"
When Louis heard this, he felt footsteps coming over.
At this moment, he quickly and carefully returned to his seat, sitting there as if he hadn't heard anything.
At this time, the sunshine outside the window happened to shine on him, and he felt a warm feeling. Of course, in addition to warmth, he also had an inexplicable sense of honor.
Then...
He saw Forrest leave the kitchen and walk out of the company.
Not long after, a louder sound suddenly appeared outside the house, even mixed with some curses and unpleasant feelings.
Forrest walked into the room again.
"What's wrong?" Lu Yuan came out with two sandwiches and milk and looked at Forrest.
"Boss, they are very dissatisfied with your attitude. They think you are acting out of imagination. They ask to see you. If you don't go out to see them now, they will leave... Boss, are we doing this a bit...
...After all, the more theaters we cooperate with, the more benefits we will get, and these theaters have a certain influence in Hollywood, we..." Forrest was silent for a moment, looking at Lu Yuan, the one behind him
He didn't say anything that shouldn't offend them.
Don't know why...
He felt that it was inappropriate to say these words now. Some things had quietly changed.
And the boss...
It seems to have changed too!
He felt that his boss had changed a lot since he came back from China this time!
It seems to have become a bit confusing.
In just one week since returning to China, what has happened to this boss?
"Haha, since they want to go back, let them go back. Mr. Forrest, you are right. The more theaters we cooperate with, the more money we make, but... we are standing
Talk to them instead of kneeling down to talk to them..." Lu Yuan glanced at Forris silently.
"..." Forrest was stunned.
"Mr. Forres, I know what you are worried about, but respect is never given by others, but by yourself... Although I don't know how you and Mr. Forres approached them before.
Treat you, but I can imagine that they will definitely not smile to you equally... Mr. Forrest, Remote Entertainment is a big family. In this big family,
In the family, I hope that everyone can win their own dignity. At the same time, we should have our own value. As for whether we are polite or not, it does not matter. Some things are corresponding. They were polite to us.
We must also be polite. If they didn't give it, we don't have to give it..." Lu Yuan said this seriously after looking at Forris's eyes.
But after saying this, he felt confused for some reason.
He felt that he had also been brainwashed by Fatty Wei.
After all, every day when there was a "remote" entertainment meeting, Fatty Wei stood in the conference room and said something similar impassionedly.
Although Lu Yuan had always thought it was nonsense before, he also found these words embarrassing.
but……
After listening to it for a long time, I don’t know when to start...
A strange change occurred deep in Lu Yuan's heart.
like……
Is it really like that?
"Boss, I..." Forrest was suddenly moved.
"Go and reject them." Lu Yuan put down the sandwich and patted Forris on the shoulder.
"Okay." Forrest nodded, then turned and left the company.
After Fores left, the sound of cursing outside became even louder.
Even Louis heard people scolding people outside like "This guy is crazy about money and is crazy about money" and the like...
But Lu Yuan sat next to Lewis as if nothing happened.
"Mr. Lewis, I've been waiting for a long time."
"Mr. Lu Yuan..."
"This is a sandwich I made. You should be able to eat it."
"Okay, let me try it..." Louis took a bite of the sandwich made by Lu Yuan, and then thought it was delicious.
He ate the entire sandwich in one go.
"Mr. Lewis, what kind of contract is yours?"
"Oh oh oh, it's a share-sharing contract. Our share ratio is four to six, four for us, six for you..."
"Oh, show me the contract."
"good!"
………………………
Nine o'clock in the morning.
When Louis saw the heads of several theater chains standing at the door of "Remote" Entertainment, they were turned away, cursed and left.
He didn't know why, but he felt lucky.
Four or six...
From the perspective of these theaters, it is indeed inappropriate. After all, 46 movies are basically divided into movies by Hollywood companies such as Cobia and Century.
But……
Louis didn't think so.
Many times, it is a choice of vision, just like gambling.
They originally missed the first choice, but he didn't want to miss it the second time.
He thinks!
This "Saw" is going to be a hit!
and!
Will explode!
The premiere of "Saw" is today at noon.
Of course, I couldn't catch up with the wave at noon today. Even if I went back to the company for a meeting, it would be too late to make various arrangements as quickly as possible. After all, a theater chain is not what a person like Lu Yuan said. There are many things
They all have to hold a meeting to discuss the selection...
It's not that easy.
Of course, I can still catch up tomorrow.
……………………
"Mr. Allen, good news, great news!"
"What good news..."
"Mr. Allen, I just got the news that several theater chains went to Lu Yuan this morning, but guess what happened? This Lu Yuan actually..."
"What? Is this guy really crazy? He wants a 40-60 split? He has rejected so many theaters? What does he want to do? Does he really think he is a big company like ours in Hollywood? Or does he think he is so-called
Will "Saw" be a hit?"
"Mr. Allen, that's it. Now everyone on the Internet is scolding him, and the whole of Hollywood is waiting for his joke... By the way, Mr. Allen, "Saw" will be released in a few hours, do we still want it?
Come over and take a look?”
"Well, let's go over and have a look. I always think he can't be so stupid..."
"Mr. Allen, don't you also think that "Saw" can be a hit?"
"It's hard to say... this person... I don't know how to describe him. Although he looks crazy now, I always feel... a little uneasy..."
