Chapter 265 You and I in our twilight years (4100 word chapters~)
Fifteen thousand dollars!
After hearing this price, all Wu Jianye's good mood disappeared.
Sun Jiarui didn't seem to notice Wu Jianye's face gradually turning green, and continued to say proudly: Xiao Wu, Mr. Weinstein is a good friend of our domestic film industry. I heard that you have written a book about it.
Not bad. Mr. Weinstein is interested in the copyright of this book. You can sell it to Mr. Weinstein at a cheaper price!
Wu Jianye swore that if Sun Jiarui hadn't been in a high position, he would definitely let him know what Hua'er is and why it's so popular.
He didn't even look at Sun Jiarui, but looked at Zhou Qiang, and asked in a cold voice: Team Zhou, do you know how stupid it is to sell the copyright of your own film before the film festival is over?
?
Do you really not believe in the ability of your country’s filmmakers? If this movie really wins an award at a film festival, do you know what it means?
This means that it is not only how big a sensation this movie will cause, but also that this movie can be sold for a higher price after receiving the blessing of awards.
Haven't you ever asked? There must be at least fifty film studios on Lido Island now, with more than a dozen participating films. Have you ever seen which film sold its copyright at this time?
Wu Jianye's chest was heaving violently, and his eyes were red. Everyone could see that Wu Jianye was on the verge of breaking out.
Sun Jiarui glanced at Wu Jianye dissatisfied. As one of the senior executives of the input and output company, he would care about Wu Jianye's attitude.
Wu Jianye, what is your attitude? You also said that only films that win awards can be sold at high prices. You just directed your first film and you are just trying to win an award at an international film festival? Now our country’s
Movies can be sold in the United States. Do you think this is just money? It also represents a kind of glory. Do you understand glory?
Wu Jianye slowly turned his head and finally looked at Sun Jiarui: Manager Sun, I don’t know what’s in your head. Is it poop? Even if my movie doesn’t win an award, if the other person really appreciates this movie
If so, do you think he won't buy it at the same price?
Glory? Haha, I can tell you that glory is not obtained by others' charity, but by one's own efforts.
You sold the copyright of the movie for fifteen thousand dollars. You are so generous!
Wu Jianye, pay attention to your attitude. Do you know who you are talking to? Don’t think that just because one of your films has been shortlisted for an international film festival, you are more capable. Let me tell you, no matter who you are, immediately
Apologize to me.
At the same time, in the name of the deputy manager of I/O, I am telling you to sell the copyright of your book to Mr. Weinstein immediately. We have already told Mr. Weinstein that he will be our overseas partner for domestic films in the future.
, your petty profits must be compromised for the construction of the country, do you understand?
Wu Jianye glanced at Sun Jiarui and completely lost the idea of talking to him.
You...you...Wu Jianye, stop here! Sun Jiarui looked at Wu Jianye who turned around and left, and instantly became furious.
Harvey Weinstein, who was standing aside at this time, although he did not understand their conversation, he also knew that he seemed to be smart. This Wu Jianye did not listen to Sun Jiarui's orders at all.
Without thinking about it at all, Harvey Weinstein immediately ran to Wu Jianye and whispered: Kun, I don’t know about the conflict between you. If you are dissatisfied with the price, we can
Keep talking!
He bought the overseas copyright of the movie "Raise the Red Lantern" originally in order to establish a relationship with Wu Jianye and buy the copyright of "Jurassic Park" from him. Now he doesn't understand why he has already researched it.
After seeing through the superior-subordinate relationship in China, Wu Jianye still behaves like this...
This can only be blamed on Harvey Weinstein being overconfident and underestimating Wu Jianye. Even a pure Chinese person would not be able to thoroughly study Chinese interpersonal relationships in just one night. How could he possibly do that?
...
Wu Jianye looked at Harvey Weinstein coldly and said: Harvey Weinstein, I can tell you clearly, don't even think about "Jurassic Park"!
At this time, Sun Jiarui came over again without thinking about life and death. Even at this time, he still looked at Wu Jianye from a high position: Wu Jianye, I solemnly tell you that I will immediately apologize to Mr. Weinstein and at the same time, you
Sell the copyright of that crappy book to Mr. Weinstein, otherwise, you will never make another movie in the future!
Wu Jianye looked at him, I'm waiting!
Turn around and leave!
I don’t know what it means, I simply don’t know what it means! Sun Jiarui roared from behind.
.......
late at night.
Tianzhuangzhuang walked into the dark room, and with the help of the light and moonlight outside, he saw Wu Jianye sitting by the bed. He was facing the late night outside, silent, and there were many beer bottles next to him.
Why are you doing this?
Tianzhuangzhuang sat next to Wu Jianye, opened a can, took a sip of beer, and then said helplessly: After the movie is finished, our task as directors is also completed. The matter of selling the movie copyright is originally between the input and output company and
If you do things like this in the studio, it will only make it more difficult for you to do it after you return to China!
Wu Jianye laughed sadly: I don't understand. Why did you sell it so early when you could sell it for more money? Is it true that you can't stand upright in front of foreigners?
It was sold for fifteen thousand dollars. Do you know how important this movie is in my plan?
After asking the question, Wu Jianye did not wait for Tianzhuangzhuang to ask the question, and said to himself: I am confident that this movie will achieve a very good box office abroad. Although it cannot be compared with those Hollywood blockbusters, but a few words: Sun, you
You also know that I am here on behalf of Miramax Pictures. Our company is very fond of Wu Jianye's copyright. Before coming to Venice, I issued a military order to the company, and I will definitely be able to win the copyright. But now
Such a situation... Of course, my own personal gains and losses don't matter, but if I lose my power in the company because I fail to complete the tasks assigned by the company, at that time, the company I work for, they will
If you don’t like Chinese movies, that’s not necessarily the case!
After hearing this, Sun Jiarui immediately became nervous and said quickly: Mr. Weinstein, please rest assured that I will definitely ask you for the copyright of that film. Regarding this matter, I will report it immediately when I return to China.
, when the senior management speaks, Wu Jianye will have to give it even if he doesn’t want to!
Haha, let me thank Sun first! Weinstein drank coffee instead of wine, clinked glasses with Sun Jiarui and said, Sun, my friends all call me Harvey!
Haha, okay, Harvey, I wish us a happy cooperation!
.......
Zhou Qiang was not with Sun Jiarui and Harvey Weinstein, but went to see Wu Jianye.
When Tianzhuangzhuang saw Zhou Qiang's arrival, he said nothing, leaving room for the two to talk.
Zhou Qiang looked at the silent Wu Jianye, feeling a little helpless in his heart. He also blamed himself for this matter, but in fact, he was not to blame. The current domestic environment is like this. As Tianzhuangzhuang said, a director can only
Responsible for everything during the filming of this movie.
After the filming of the movie is over, it really has nothing to do with the director. In the eyes of many people, Wu Jianye's losing his temper is actually unnecessary.
Before Zhou Qiang could speak, Wu Jianye took the lead and said: Team Zhou, there’s no need to say anything, I know how to do it!
Alas... Zhou Qiang sighed and said nothing more.
When late at night fell, Tianzhuangzhuang did not return to his room. Instead, he spent the night in Zhao Fei and Wang Honghai's room, leaving Wu Jianye time to calm down alone.
Looking at the watch on my wrist, it was already past three in the morning.
Wu Jianye got up and called Yan Jing. He just wanted to hear the voices of certain people.
Hello!
The time difference between Venice and Yanjing is nearly six hours. It was already past nine o'clock in the morning in Yanjing. Zhu Hao also arrived at Yanjing Film Studio early. He was just rehearsing a play when he heard someone calling him.
What to do? Wu Jianye's voice was a little deep.
Zhu Xian immediately heard the disappointment in Wu Jianye's voice: What's wrong? It should be around three o'clock in the morning over there. Why haven't you rested yet?
Wu Jianyeqiang smiled and said: It's okay, I just missed you suddenly and wanted to hear your voice!
Zhu Xian looked at the phone in her hand worriedly. She knew that Wu Jianye must be in a very bad mood now, but she was obedient and did not ask why Wu Jianye was acting like this suddenly.
I miss you too!
Well, I know you are thinking about me, so what, do we have a tacit understanding like this? Wu Jianye feels that his mood has improved a lot.
Come to think of it, are you too tired in Venice? If you are, just take a rest and don't work yourself too hard! Zhu Xian warned.
It’s okay, much better! Wu Jianye smiled.
By the way, I had a dream last night, Zhu Xian said.
What dream?
I dreamed that we were all old. At that time, you were the old man who needed a crutch, and I was the old lady who was supporting you. At that time, the two of us were sitting on the recliner, surrounded by children, telling stories about our youth! Zhu
There was a hint of happiness in Xie's voice.
Wu Jianye felt that a ray of sunshine suddenly appeared in the abyss.
In our twilight years, you and I sit leisurely in the courtyard
The clouds are rolling and the clouds are relaxing, listening to the sound of rain
The stars are dense and the stars are rare, watching the moon shadow
Flowers bloom and fall, remembering Jiangnan
You talk about the past, I paint the past
I hope there will be time to look back
And we have grown old together lovingly
When you return to China, I will take you on a trip! Wu Jianye said.
