Chapter 429: People, after all, have to pay the price for their arrogance.
Chris has been living a comfortable life these days, and the secretary has something to do... Ahem, after another two-person activity, the secretary casually asked: "You've been letting him go for a few days, you really don't need it."
Do you have time to meet him? Or are you saying you don’t want his North American release?”
Chris smiled proudly and said: "NONONO, how could I not want it? If nothing else happens, this movie will make me rich. You have to know, it will be a huge fortune."
"Then you are still leaving him alone?" The secretary became more and more confused.
"Baby, you don't understand. This is called business strategy. This money is mine, and it can only be mine. A guy from the movie desert is not worthy of sharing profits with me. You just need to give them a small amount of profit, and they will
They will be overjoyed, because in their eyes, this is all additional income. Let me think about it, what kind of buyout price is better to offer them? Three hundred thousand dollars? Or four hundred thousand dollars? "
"Oh, you are so bad."
At this time, the phone rang, Chris patted the secretary proudly, and the secretary wisely went to get the phone.
Chris smiled proudly at his secretary and said, "Did you see that? I said he will definitely come to me, pick it up slowly, yes, be patient, they are the ones who are anxious."
The secretary leaned against him and answered the phone. The smile on his face immediately fell. Chris asked doubtfully: "Baby, what's wrong with you?"
"David, I want to talk to you on the phone." The secretary reached out and handed the phone to him.
When he heard David's name, Chris became uneasy. This was his largest investor. In other words, the other party was his boss. But why would his boss call him now? He answered the call with an uneasy feeling.
: "Hey, BOSS..."
A high-pitched voice came from the other end of the phone, scolding her head and face: "You son of a bitch, yes, I am talking about you, you bastard, can you tell me that you have been out with that bitch these days?
We interacted, did you do anything else?"
"Uh... Boss, what happened?" Chris was scolded and looked confused.
David paced back and forth: "Chris, you bastard, listen to me. I asked you to go to China to work. I didn't ask you to escape from the surveillance of your wife and go cheat with your secretary. Do you understand? You'd better go to China to work."
Get me the North American distribution rights of [The Wandering Earth], otherwise you’ll be damned, I’ll make you lose everything, do you understand, bastard?”
After venting, David revealed another news: "Lionsgate Pictures has sent people to China. You should know what this means. That greedy lion will not let go of any piece of fat, leaving it to you.
Time is running out.”
Chris was confused as he listened to the busy signal on the phone. Of course he knew what kind of company Lionsgate was. In addition to the six existing Hollywood giants, Lionsgate was the one with the greatest potential to be promoted to the third largest company.
A company owned by the Big Seven, and this company originally started by distributing independent films.
In comparison, the so-called Cinedigm Digital Group is nothing to mention compared to its opponent. To put it bluntly, they are following the old path of Lionsgate Pictures.
"Quickly, help me call that guy and make an appointment to meet him. Yes, it's that Han Fei. Oh, hell, this name is such a convoluted word. Remember not to let them discover your eagerness." Chris still had this in mind.
Fantasy, what if the other party doesn't know about Lionsgate? As long as he gets the copyright in advance, the investors will forgive all the previous mistakes.
"Oh, NO, the other party said that they don't have time to see you at the moment."
Chris was stunned when he heard this. He pushed the secretary away, picked up the phone and dialed the number on the business card. It was a woman who answered the phone. When she heard his name, she hung up the phone.
"What...what should we do?" The secretary looked at Chris who was blushing with some anxiety.
Chris roared angrily: "What else can we do? Go to his company, I want to see that bastard immediately, he must have heard something."
When he came to "Flying Bird Film and Television", the front desk lady received him politely. However, half an hour later, Chris did not see Han Fei. After asking the front desk, he learned that Han Fei was still in a meeting.
Chris waited for another hour. This time he really couldn't wait any longer and rushed in. There was no sign of Han Fei in the conference room. Just when Chris angrily reprimanded the front desk lady for her lies, Han Fei happened to come from
Come back outside.
Chris originally planned to rush over and ask this guy to give him an explanation, but after seeing the guy next to Han Fei, he felt like he was struck by lightning. Yes, this guy is from the North American Distribution Department of Lionsgate Pictures.
The other person didn't seem too surprised to see Chris, but instead greeted him generously: "Hi, Chris, God bless me. I didn't expect to see you here. I'm so happy."
"Really? I'm not happy at all to see you." Chris squeezed out a few words through his teeth.
Han Fei explained with a smile: "Mr. Chris, I'm sorry to keep you waiting. I was watching a movie with Mr. John just now... Since you two happen to be here, why don't we go to the conference room to chat together?
Let’s talk?”
"Of course, Chris and I are good friends. Oh, no, to be precise, he is my mascot, because wherever he appears, I always make money, right?" John was obviously confident.
Chris's face turned pale: "No, it won't happen this time."
"We'll see?"
Han Fei led the two of them to the conference room, and John got straight to the point: "Mr. Han Fei, you should know the strength of Lionsgate Pictures. We have the ability to distribute this "The Wandering Earth" throughout the United States. Of course, this Mr. Chris
He has the ability to do that, but obviously he can only get half of our screens."
Chris interrupted eagerly: "That's right, but your distribution fee is also one of the most expensive in the world. Brother, why don't you go rob? That way you can make money faster."
"Believe me, our distribution expenses are less than half of theirs. Even if the number of screens we get initially is not that many, as long as the film is good enough and there are enough viewers, the theater chain will definitely add more screens, man.
, no one has trouble with money, right?"
Han Fei sighed in his heart, if this guy had acted so sincerely at the beginning, he would definitely have agreed. However, after bringing in Lionsgate Pictures, Han Fei had another choice. Why not fight for more benefits for himself?
John was not angry at Chris's ridicule, but smiled: "Yes, as you said, as long as the film is good enough, we can also apply for more screens from theaters. As far as I know, Han Fei
Your purpose should not only be to sell this film, but also to open up distribution channels in North America. Believe me, Lionsgate is definitely your best choice."
Han Fei was quite moved. It was obvious that John's words had moved him.
Chris saw something bad and gritted his teeth and said: "Mr. Han Fei, can you not make a decision for now? I'll make a call to the boss first."
