Chapter 116: The Big Pit of Chen Baoguo and Liu Peiqi
Luo Lin smiled bitterly and said: "I have been in the pit for too long. I really don't know when I will be able to climb out. The starry sky is indeed infinite, but I can only look up from inside the pit.
"
Ye Ming suddenly realized that the time had come, so he said decisively: "If Ms. Luo Lin is willing, then I would like to buy out the film and television adaptation rights of your novel [Harry Potter] and the rights to surrounding derivatives, as well as us
Publication rights in simplified and traditional Chinese.
If Ms. Rowling is willing, I can buy out these rights for three hundred thousand pounds."
These words shocked the two foreigners. Luo Lin could not believe his ears. A Chinese man, meeting for the first time, actually proposed to use 300,000 pounds to buy out the film and television adaptation of his novel.
and derivative rights, as well as Chinese publishing rights?
This is simply an incredible thing.
Even Christopher, who has traveled all over the world, is used to seeing a lot of strong winds and waves, but no matter what, this is the first time he has seen a young man with such great arrogance.
In Christopher's eyes, Ye Ming is like a crazy gambler who is as unpredictable as a crazy gambler. You will never guess what he will do next.
However, as a professional book agent, Christopher still remained calm enough at this time. Although the conditions offered by Ye Ming were good enough, isn't there a proverb in the East: if you ask for a high price, you should pay back the money on the spot?
Therefore, Christopher immediately said: "Well, dear Ye, you mean you are willing to pay a price of three hundred thousand pounds?"
Ye Ming nodded very firmly and said: "That's right. If you are willing, we can sign the contract now and I will transfer the money to you right away."
Money doesn't lie.
Christopher immediately said: "Well, as you know, we didn't have any preparations at the moment. We were just here to drink coffee today. I hope you can give us some time for this matter. How about I discuss it with Luo Lin first?"
, twenty minutes, I’ll give you the answer in twenty minutes.”
Ye Ming went out for a walk and came back soon. At this moment, Ye Ming was not in the mood to appreciate the beautiful night view of Causeway Bay. At this moment, he also felt anxious.
After returning, it was obvious that Christopher and Luo Lin had already discussed the matter.
After Ye Ming sat down, Christopher said solemnly: "Ye, after Ms. Luo Lin's serious consideration, she decided to agree to your request. However, the Chinese publishing rights cannot be given to you. The rest is no problem.
I hope we can cooperate happily. Then the next step is for the two of us to negotiate a contract. But there is one thing, 300,000 yuan, which must be paid in one lump sum."
Of course, there is no problem with this. Although Ye Ming was a little unwilling, the other party obviously wanted to pay back the money on the spot. Ye Mingzhi did not have the rights to publish the novel, so he naturally thought about it and agreed.
With a happy ending, we discussed the details and the contract in both Chinese and English versions was quickly drafted.
Ye Ming was afraid that this would be a long-lasting matter, and Christopher and the others were obviously worried that Ye Ming would change his mind at any time, so they followed Ye Ming to the Yonghua Film and Television Hong Kong Branch and printed out the contract.
Then Ye Ming informed Yonghua Film and Television to transfer 300,000 pounds into Luo Lin's account and sign the contract. Everything seemed so smooth.
If it weren't for the fact that the sales of Ye Ming's albums can be described as a blowout and he received a lot of commissions, he wouldn't have that much money to buy the copyrights for the "Harry Potter" movies and their derivatives.
However, Sister Fang Fang was not very happy at this moment.
Three hundred thousand pounds, that's three hundred thousand pounds. Ye Ming walked away with just one word. In the eyes of Sister Fang Fang, he was simply a super spendthrift.
She took the contract and said angrily: "Three hundred thousand pounds, you are crazy. You are actually buying the film adaptation rights of a novel. You have money and you are so busy, don't you? Do you know what three hundred thousand means?"
Ye Ming said confidently: "Sister Fang Fang, don't worry, my contract is very strict. I even asked our company's full-time lawyer to read it, and it has been impartial by the notary public. There is absolutely no problem."
When Sister Fang Fang saw Ye Ming's wrong answer, she threw the contract on the table angrily and said: "I don't understand what you are thinking, but your retribution has come. No one is willing to agree to our autograph session."
, it seems that TVB and ATV have exerted pressure, no one will risk offending these two TV stations by hosting our autograph session."
Ye Ming snorted and said, "I knew they would take action. Forget it. Anyway, there are still some unfinished scenes at [Mansion Gate]. We will go back tomorrow."
Dingdong system prompts [The host has completed the main mission, purchased the film and television adaptation rights of [Harry Potter], and obtained a prop [classic signing card]]
During the trip to Hong Kong City, at least in Sister Fang's opinion, what Ye Ming did was not very successful.
In Beijing, on the set of Dazhaimen, He Jun was directing several staff members to help carry the box. He pointed at a red box and said: "Inside are some props of Teacher Siqin Gaowa. Be careful and deliver the props to me."
Go inside the group."
Suddenly, the two men carrying the box were stunned and stared blankly at the people who walked in.
At this time, He Jun immediately said with a gloomy face: "Why are you dazed? Work, work, work quickly. The director is still waiting?"
A staff member pointed in the direction of the door. It was then that He Jun realized that someone was coming. He turned around to take a look, and Ye Ming appeared in front of him.
At this time, He Jun felt a burst of emotion in his heart. When he first joined the crew, Ye Ming was at best a second-rate or even third-rate actor. Even if he sang in the Spring Festival Gala, his status in the film and television industry was just like this.
However, at this moment, Ye Ming has released an album and will be crowned king in one battle. It is only a matter of time. No one can stop Ye Ming from becoming king in one battle.
He Jun said enthusiastically: "Ye Ming, you're back. Let's go see the director first. Director Guo said that if you say you won't come back, are you going to find someone to tie you up with a rope?"
Ye Ming took out a small box. Inside the box was a high-end watch he bought. He handed it over and said, "Thank you Brother Jun for taking care of me. This is a small gift I brought. I hope Brother Jun won't dislike it."
He Jun accepted the gift calmly. Looking at the outer box, it was not cheap.
At this time, several extras saw that Ye Ming had appeared. Someone immediately asked Ye Ming to sign an album. He Jun scolded them and said, "What are you doing? Ye Ming is from our crew. Why are you still here?"
Are you afraid that you don't have time to ask him for an autograph? Let Ye Ming go see the director first, and there will be plenty of time to sign autographs later, so let's break up first, let's break up first."
Guo Baochang sat next to the monitor, glanced at Ye Ming, and said noncommittally: "I'm back. It's good to be back. Young people, you have to take care of your body. You know, don't drink so hard. I'll wait until you arrive."
At this age, you already know the importance of your body."
It can be heard that Guo Baochang did not use Ye Ming because he was not a famous actor, but he also did not look down on Ye Ming because he won the title of king in one battle, as if he was treating him as his junior.
Everything seems so natural. At Mr. Guo's age, many things have become insignificant.
Ye Ming naturally did not dare to refute and nodded in agreement.
Guo Baochang then nodded and said: "Well, let's go and get familiar with your play first. We won't arrange your play today. Tomorrow, tomorrow, you have to prepare well for your play with Bao Guo."
At this time, Ye Ming just stood aside and watched obediently. This was also a good time to study. What he was filming now was actually from the early stage, when Prince Zhan's mansion smashed the Bai family's carriage.
In fact, filming is just that. It does not necessarily mean that the first episode must be filmed first. The key is to see if there is a suitable opportunity. Generally speaking, dramas that take place in one scene will most likely be shot together.
This is also for cost-saving reasons.
And Ye Ming also knows very well that in this scene, Teacher Siqin Gaowa's performance is very exciting, with the stirring of emotions and the control of expressions. It can be said to be one of the most exciting scenes in the entire series.
This is a good opportunity to learn.
At this moment, two people not far away had already set their sights on Ye Ming.
These two people are the uncle and nephew of the Bai family.
Bai Jingqi, Chen Baoguo looked at Ye Ming and said: "Look, Ye Ming, this kid, has come back a lot. So many young people are looking for him to sign autographs. Most singers may not reach a height in their lifetime, but he has reached it with just one album.
Simple?"
Liu Peiqi said with a smile: "It is indeed not simple. However, it seems that this kid is a bit airy and airy, which is very detrimental to future development. Fortunately, I knew to report to Mr. Guo as soon as I came back.
, the whole person has not floated to the sky."
At this time, Chen Baoguo thought about it and said: "It is true. This boy is the kind of wiry and evil guy with many evil thoughts. However, I think it is better to suppress his drama later, so as not to think that he has done anything wrong.
Once you have released an album, you no longer take acting seriously. It is quite necessary to give him a beating."
It is true that at this time, Chen Baoguo and Liu Peiqi, the two old and cunning movie kings, were more venomous. Although Ye Ming did not show any feeling of being arrogant, at this time, Ye Ming did still have a feeling of being arrogant in his heart.
That makes sense.
Occasionally, a hint of pride would flash in his eyes.
Liu Peiqi nodded at this time and smiled. She didn't know what he was laughing at.
Finally, he said slowly: "I think this is a good idea. I haven't seen such a good idea in many years. It's a pity to encourage the development of a young thing. I think it's also a show to suppress this kid."
Be good to him.
I dare to say that the director will definitely not arrange his scene today. If he has to do it, he will have to wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow we will see how the director arranges it. Then, let this kid know what it means to have a high heaven and a high earth.
"
It has to be said that Liu Peiqi knows the character of director Guo Baochang very well. As expected, Ye Ming's scene will not be arranged today. The arrangement made by He Jun is that there will be a scene opposite Chen Baoguo and Ye Ming tomorrow.
Chen Baoguo looked at Ye Ming as if his plot had succeeded, as if he was a fox staring at a nest of chickens hiding in the dark.
At this moment, Liu Peiqi was also curious for a while. How will Chen Baoguo suppress Ye Ming's drama tomorrow?
At that moment, Liu Peiqi continued: "Baoguo, you should also pay attention. This kid has a very good understanding. Didn't you notice in the scene when he was beaten? He actually entered a state of enlightenment. Don't let it go then."
Chen Baoguo smiled slyly and said, "Third uncle, please take a look."
