Chapter 1204 Noble Man
Yin Jun transferred 2 million francs to Sophie Marceau's account.
Because the young man said, I'm sure there is still a lot of money left. These are all lent to Sophie Marceau, and she can repay them during filming in the future.
Without any collateral or any IOU, the money just entered Sophie Marceau's account.
Yin Jun didn't even mean to ask Sophie Marceau to sign into Qilin Culture, which moved Sophie Marceau very much.
With the popularity of "Terminator", Schwarzenegger, who was born in Austria, became famous all over the world. The harsh contract given to him by Yin Jun was also publicized intentionally or unintentionally.
Europeans who yearn for self-ownership and anarchy in everything are of course very dissatisfied with the attitude of harsh capitalists like Yin Jun. Many newspapers have fiercely criticized Yin Jun, and public opinion has also been very harsh on him. It's disadvantageous.
Fortunately, "The Shawshank Redemption" is so outrageous that all French people feel that if this film is not selected as the Palme d'Or and cannot win the grand prize, then there is something shady and it is absolutely unfair.
Don't say that artists are very aloof and cannot listen to other people's persuasion.
Although Cannes is a global award, it is originally based in France, which goes against the wishes of the entire French audience. So what will the entire French audience think?
Damn, you are not of the same mind as us, you are just trying to get awards randomly, what do you mean by this? Get lost!
Don’t doubt it, the French are such fucked up people. In a country of literature and art, they do whatever they want and have the habit of flipping the table over if they disagree. But you can see it from the fact that they cut off the head of Louis XVI - you can see the arrogance of these people. Huhu personality.
Coupled with Jason Tanya, general manager of the distribution department of United Artists Film Company, who spent a lot of money on public relations, "The Shawshank Redemption" finally won the award as expected.
"The Shawshank Redemption" was released worldwide immediately after Cannes, earning huge profits and overwhelming critical acclaim.
Its entry into next year's Oscar race is a sure bet.
Many people are even optimistically estimating that "The Shawshank Redemption" will win the Oscar again after Cannes and win the house.
However, according to estimates by the public relations teams of United Artists and Disney, the chances of "The Shawshank Redemption" winning an Oscar this time are very low. There are two biggest reasons.
The first one is that Yin Jun is an outsider, not even white, but he controls two major companies in Hollywood, which makes people a little scared.
The second reason is also this kind of harsh contract for actors, which makes those old men very dissatisfied and feels that it goes against the tradition of Hollywood.
Even the judges are not satisfied with this person, how can they be satisfied with his work?
Moreover, this sub-force is very huge, so huge that even if huge public relations expenses are spent, there is not much certainty.
Sophie Marceau had also heard of this.
That's why Yin Jun's help to her was so valuable.
Sophie Marceau started acting in movies two years ago. The company has protected her very well in the past two years, but it does not mean that she is ignorant of the world.
After confirming that the money in the account had arrived, Sophie Marceau immediately called a very famous law firm and invited Lawyer Ferro, who knew a lot about the entertainment industry and was good at litigating in this area, to come to her hotel. Negotiate with hotel.
Attorney Ferro is 45 years old. He has been dealing with people in the French entertainment industry since he entered the law firm. He now has nearly 20 years of experience.
After hearing what Sophie Marceau said, looking at the contract that Sophie Marceau took out, and studying it for a long time, Ferro already had a plan.
"This contract is very formal. xx Brokerage Company is indeed one of the top brokerage companies in France. The restrictions on you, Miss Marceau, are very large. They have a lot of initiative. If they forcefully sue to terminate the contract, I'm afraid It's not that easy." Ferro said straightforwardly, "Such a lawsuit is very time-consuming. If it drags on for one, two, or three years, and they hide you during this period, I'm afraid it will have a great impact on your acting career. It’s a big obstacle.”
"I understand." Sophie Masou said, "As I told you just now, I have to go to Hollywood to star in a movie, so how can I achieve my goal when they are unwilling to make any concessions? ?”
"I'm afraid the only option is to terminate the contract by force." Ferro pondered, "I read the regulations inside. Now you have three years left in your contract. Calculated as liquidated damages, it should be almost 1 million francs. If we can pay this directly money, then you can announce the termination of your contract with them, regain your freedom, and go to Hollywood."
Seeing that Ferro was hesitant to speak, Sophie Marceau said strangely, "Is there any more trouble? Lawyer Ferro, please tell me."
"But in this case, I'm afraid you won't be able to stay in the French film industry, and your development in France will be greatly hindered." After thinking about it, Ferro said responsibly, "Mr. Yin Jun, I I also know that he is a magical talent, but if you rush to Hollywood without guaranteeing a new contract, is it too hasty?"
"There's nothing I can do otherwise." Sophie Marceau sighed, "I've tried all my options."
"How about I go and discuss with them?" Ferro said, "There were people like you in the past, but their agents would restrain themselves when they saw the lawyers coming forward. Too many dare not say, but you should A balance can be struck at a time, as long as you are willing to sacrifice some benefits.”
"J."
After thinking about it, Sophie Marceau shook her head resolutely, "After this time, what about the next time? I hope that my career will be decided by myself, instead of them helping me decide what I want to do. What, what can't be done. I have grown up and should not be threatened or manipulated by them!"
Seeing Sophie Marceau's determination, Ferro stopped talking. "I understand, then let's terminate the contract legally! When will you be able to collect the 1 million francs?"
"It's okay now." Sophie Masuo said, "I hope to terminate the contract as soon as possible so that there is no delay."
"good!"
Now that the employer has made up his mind, Ferro entered his professional state, "I will go back to Paris tomorrow to talk to them. Before that, we need to sign an entrustment agreement..."
…
"What? Say it again?"
Inside the brokerage company, deputy general manager Kurt couldn't believe what he heard.
Florian, the agent who is responsible for Sophie Marceau, confirmed with a wry smile, "Lawyer Ferro has come to the company this morning. You are not here, so Giroud and I are the ones to receive the reception. Sophie Marceau informed us in writing We, she will terminate the brokerage contract with us by paying liquidated damages."
"Impossible! No! How can this be allowed?" Kurt firmly refused, "We have trained her for so many years, how could she do this? I don't agree! Absolutely not!"
Florian sighed, "But this is not a question of whether we are willing to agree. Attorney Ferro has already produced written documents. According to the law, after the money is paid to our account, Sophie Marceau and us The contract will be automatically terminated... In fact, the money was successfully transferred before you came back."
"Where did Sophie Marceau get so much money?" Kurt was not an idiot, so he immediately came to his senses, "Yin Jun! It must be Yin Jun!! Wow, they actually dug someone into our name. I’m going to sue him! I’m going to make him stinky!!”
"We have no clue about this matter, and we don't understand the joints involved." Florian frowned, "Now do you think we need to compromise with Sophie Marceau in order to reconcile?"
"Are we bowing our heads? She's dreaming!" Kurt cursed a few curse words, but he was also an old man in the industry, so he took a few deep breaths and calmed down, "It's useless, now that she has taken this step, Do you think she still has any feelings for our company? Just break it off, huh, how tough it is!"
"Then we just let her leave?" Florian also understood this, but he was unwilling to do so. "It's too cheap for her!"
"Haha, how could it be so cheap for her?" When things were irreversible, Kurt no longer had any illusions, "Contact me a few newspapers and magazines. I want her to know how much she will have to pay to leave our company. Price! Is Hollywood really a paradise? If we lose our local market in France and lose the love of the French people, what future can she have as a little girl who hasn’t grown up yet?!"
"I'll do it right away."
Florian had the same idea as Kurt, and his heart was also filled with the anger of being betrayed.
When partners part ways, it is very rare for them to still be friends again.
"boom!"
Before Florian went out, he heard the door being pushed open forcefully. When he looked up, it was Giroud, another agent of Sophie Marceau.
"Look at this!"
Giroud handed over a newspaper with a complicated expression.
Kurt and Florian didn't know what was going on. They took a look at the entertainment section of "Le Figaro" and their eyes froze.
On this page, the entire page contains one content, a letter.
"Hello everyone, I am Sophie Marceau... I feel very painful to make such a decision... I feel sorry for Mr. Florian and Mr. Giroux who have always regarded me as their daughter, and for my development. , Mr. Coulter was so tired that he lost more than ten pounds... But as long as he is an actor, he will yearn for a wider world... I think I should bring French elements to Hollywood, so that they can also know the French filmmakers effort……
So, I'm sorry... I failed you... I hope that one day, I can repay you with my achievements... When I come to your xx agency again, I hope it will be full of honor, I hope It fills you with pride...and please forgive me for being a wayward little girl...I love you..."
The content of the letter is very long, but the main meaning is the above.
Sophie Marceau recalled the past, expressed her yearning, and expressed her deep apology.
If you are not a person in the game, you will be full of emotion and emotion after reading her letter, but you will definitely sympathize, understand and support Sophie Marceau.
But Kurt and Florian were livid.
I never expected that Sophie Marceau would make such a move!
If she played the tenderness card like this, how could Kurt and the others try to trick her? How to accuse her of being unjust for profit?
You have obviously said that you left to realize your dream, and you expressed your apology so respectfully, but you accuse a little girl so viciously, doesn't it seem excessive?
It’s very excessive!
Moreover, Sophie Marceau is always a cute little girl in the hearts of the French. If the xx agency pursues her and accuses her, it will definitely arouse the anger of the public.
When the time comes, Sophie Marceau's reputation will rise again, her popularity will increase, and people will like her more.
In contrast, the label of being harsh, ruthless and ruthless will be placed on the head of the brokerage company.
For the brokerage company, this is really not worth the loss! !
"So powerful! So fast! So vicious!"
After being stunned for a long time, Kurt sat slumped in his chair, feeling weak for a while.
"How could she be so scheming?" Florian also couldn't believe that Sophie Marceau actually made such a move.
It was as if Taiyijian had sealed her throat, and there was nothing he could do to harm her.
On the contrary, it is necessary to cooperate with Sophie Marceau's letter and send a warm reply. Only in this way can the guest and host have a good time and everyone can get together and part ways. Only in this way can the company's image be improved.
Otherwise, if the opponent takes advantage of it, the company will be in great trouble.
But it was too uncomfortable to hold it in like this. It was obviously this girl who broke the rules first. As a result, not only could she not be punished, but she had to be praised and forgiven!
"Needless to say?" Giroud smiled bitterly, "This is what Yin Jun did! He instigated the termination of Sophie Marceau's contract, he provided the money, and he also came up with this method! After all, he is a genius. ! From a moral perspective, this has already earned Sophie Marceau too much sympathy and praise. No matter what we do, she will not lose anything!"
"You bastard! I'm not done with you!!" Kurt slammed the table and roared violently.
…
Compared to the helpless anger of the agency, Sophie Marceau was equally surprised when she held "Le Figaro".
Then comes the surprise.
When Yin Jun sent her money, he said that he would use her name to do something that would not hurt anyone.
Sophie Marceau agreed because she believed in Yin Jun.
Unexpectedly, Yin Jun gave her such a big surprise.
With the letter in "Le Figaro", with such a letter full of warmth, memories, guilt and prospects, her termination of the contract this time not only caused no loss, but also further improved her own The reputation made me transform from a little girl into a transforming girl.
The consequences and consequences that Attorney Ferro reminded her to pay attention to no longer existed after the letter was published.
As long as you are a normal person, it is impossible for you to slander and criticize yourself after reading this letter. Otherwise, it would be suppression and bullying of a little girl full of dreams.
The entire French people will not let this happen.
Not to mention this brokerage company, even if all the brokerage companies united, they would not be able to resist this overwhelming will of the people.
Thinking of this, Sophie Marceau felt as sweet as eating sugar.
genius……
What a genius!
So wise and full of romantic feelings!
Solving it in such a clever way not only solved the problem, but also did not offend anyone further, and further freed myself from the constraints.
In this world, only he can come up with such a method, right?
