Chapter 281 Mr. Forres, He Who Knows Current Affairs Is a Hero!
The negotiations have not been of equals from the start.
In other words, Forex was at a disadvantage from the very beginning.
A box office explosion, the limelight is in full swing...
A tragic guy who was cuckolded and was so poor that he wanted to turn over a movie.
How could these two be equal?
Forrest looked up at Lu Yuan silently, and Lu Yuan also looked at him quietly, as if waiting for his reply.
"Mr. Lu, my company will not be sold. No matter what happens to me, even if I go bankrupt and the company becomes worthless, I will not sell it!" Fu Ruisi clenched his fist slightly, his voice sounded like Very resolute, and at the same time refused without any hesitation in his eyes.
"Oh...Okay, Mr. Forres, don't get excited, really, I have no other meaning." Lu Yuan smiled and shook his head after seeing Forres' expression. He tried his best to show A harmless appearance.
However, his expression seemed to be a signal in Wu Tingting's eyes.
It seems that whenever Mr. Lu shows such a signal, it means that Mr. Lu has already decided on other people?
"Sorry, Mr. Lu, I did get a little excited, but it just shows that I really don't want to sell my company. I have a lot of affection for my company, and I believe that the plight of my company is only temporary. As long as there is a chance, he will be able to operate normally..." Forres nodded slightly after seeing Lu Yuan's naive but genuine expression.
"Oh, in fact, I also admire Mr. Forres. I think you are reborn from the ashes. I also agree with your words that the difficulties are temporary..." Lu Yuan nodded in agreement.
"Yes, thank you for understanding."
"Well... I heard that someone bought your company for two hundred thousand dollars?"
"Yes! But how can I sell it for two hundred thousand dollars, my company can't be so cheap!" Forres nodded.
"Oh, Mr. Forres, what is the price of the company in your mind?"
"At least one million dollars or more... No! Mr. Lu, I just said that I have no intention of selling the company!"
"How about I offer $1.1 million?"
"Mr. Lu,
I said, I really don't intend to sell the company, please don't humiliate me with money! Seeing Lu Yuan's naive look, but actually wanting to acquire his company, Fu Ruisi wished he slapped the table hard and turned to leave.
He clenched his fists tightly, his face was frosty, and he even looked like he was on the verge of getting angry.
But……
After all, he didn't pat the table, and he didn't turn around and leave as he imagined.
The mind is sane but the body, well, his body is honest...
Wu Tingting silently translated Fu Ruisi's words to Lu Yuan.
She looked at the expressions of the two of them again, and found that Lu Yuan still had the naive look, but the corners of Forrest's mouth twitched, and there seemed to be a trace of unwillingness in his anger.
In this invisible battle, Forex has been completely at a disadvantage.
She somehow sympathized with Wu Tingting.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry...Mr. Forres, I misunderstood you. Here I sincerely apologize to you. In fact, I don't mean anything else. Just as you sincerely asked me to cooperate, I also sincerely I want to cooperate with you. You and I have been in contact for a short time, so it is normal for you not to understand me. I am actually a very kind person. We have a saying in China, "It is a joy to have friends from afar." , this sentence means that there are friends who come to us from afar to cooperate, we must do our best to help friends, just like you and me, I also want to help you in my own way..." Lu Yuan faced Fu Reese's expression was still not angry in the future, but he looked at Forres more sincerely.
"Mr. Lu, I've read "The Analects of Confucius", this sentence doesn't mean that, don't lie to me!" Fu Ruisi stared at Lu Yuan, he was questioning Lu Yuan's words.
"Naturally there are a thousand Hamlets among a thousand people, isn't it? The reason why classics are classics is that many people can interpret them from many different angles. Speaking of classics, I think of my movies, Mr. Forres, My "The Man From Earth" is a movie with a lot of brain holes. I checked the history of sci-fi movies, and there has never been a sci-fi movie made like this. At the same time, I believe this movie is very interesting. The viewing value and box office potential are huge, don't you think so?" Lu Yuan talked a lot.
"Yes."
"Well, $1.2 million, do you think it's okay?"
"..." Lu Yuan's sudden price increase caught Fu Ruisi off guard in an instant.
"Mr. Lu!"
"1.2 million dollars, plus 5% of the shares!"
"I really..."
"Ten percent..."
"Mr. Lu, how many times do I have to say it..."
"Fifteen! Mr. Forres, this is already my sincere reserve price. I am not a businessman and I don't know how to do business, but this is really the maximum price range I can give you...Mr. Forres, please Don't test my bottom line anymore, okay?"
"..." Forex opened his mouth.
He suddenly found himself speechless.
He wants to go!
However, he found that he had completely fallen into Lu Yuan's rhythm.
At this moment, he suddenly felt like he was being bullied. When he had more than 10 million US dollars, how could he value this 1.2 million US dollars?
but now……
He really can't help it.
Lu Yuan watched Fu Ruisi's sudden silence and stopped talking, just drinking coffee silently.
He was in no hurry anyway.
Although he is about to buy a house and become a pauper soon, at least he still has money now!
And the first box office is about to split the accounts, and he will soon become a rich man again.
Lu Yuan didn't speak, and Fu Ruisi didn't speak. At this moment, the atmosphere became inexplicably awkward.
Wu Tingting looked at Lu Yuan for a while, and when he noticed that Lu Yuan's eyes narrowed slightly towards him, she immediately understood.
"Mr. Forres, may I say a word?"
"You say……"
"I believe you should know who Mr. Lu is, right? Did you investigate our Mr. Lu's information before you came?"
"Yes……"
"Then let me reiterate, our Lu Yuan is a very good screenwriter. "Buried Alive", "The Man From Earth" and "Groundhog Day" which will be released in May are all written by Mr. Lu. Everything can be turned into magic in the hands of Mr. Lu, and our Mr. Lu starts from scratch completely relying on his talents. If you cooperate with our Mr. Lu, you will only have benefits and no disadvantages in the future. Moreover, you If you insist on going your own way, what do you think you can do when you return to the United States? Continue to support the company that is about to go bankrupt?"
"I can make movies!"
"You are not our Mr. Lu. Mr. Lu can use hundreds of thousands of investment to make hundreds of millions at the box office. You... sorry, I don't think you have such talent as Mr. Lu, and who can guarantee that the movies you make will not be good?" How about the failure? At least, those two movies of yours have made you suffer a lot, right? I believe that you can't afford another failure!" Wu Tingting directly pointed out the weakness of Fu Ruisi.
Forex closed his eyes.
As hurtful as Wu Tingting was, Forres knew she was telling the truth.
I really can't bear to fail.
"Well, I'll talk to Mr. Lu and ask him to add another 100,000 US dollars to acquire your company for a total of 1.3 million US dollars. 1.3 million is already a sky-high price! Those Hollywood companies before If you want to buy your company with 200,000! 200,000 compared to 1.3 million, it’s almost seven times faster. Moreover, our President Lu promised you 15% of the shares. You know this is What do you mean? This means that we are really sincere in cooperating with you, not a complete acquisition! You also have the right to speak about the company, right? If I were you, I would definitely not miss this opportunity!"
"Mr. Forres, there is a saying in Huaxia that those who know the current affairs are the best. After you pass this village, there will be no such shop!" Wu Tingting glanced at Lu Yuan.
Lu Yuan understood Wu Tingting's words and then nodded.
He felt that this was indeed the case.
and many more!
Why do you feel like a villain now?
A villain who persecutes the protagonist?
Then will the protagonist slap the table immediately, say "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi" and turn away?
If that's the case, it's going to be a lot of fun...
"..." Forex's face turned from livid to gray, and then from gray to flushed again. After a few minutes, Forex let out a long sigh.
At this moment, he was full of frustration.
After all, he didn't say the inspiring words.
He is not young anymore.
He no longer suffers from secondary illness...
"Mr. Forres?"
"I... I have a few requests!"
"any request?"
"First, the company name cannot be changed, not for at least three years."
"Well, yes, but this must be written in the contract. Once three years come, I can change the company's name at will." Lu Yuan nodded.
He actually wanted to change the company to "remote" America, but he nodded after seeing Forres so decisive.
three years...
Not urgent?
It's not short, but it's not long...
It is not too late to change the name to Remote America after three years.
"Okay! Second, I must have a certain right to speak in the company, at least, I can't be your employee!"
"Well, yes, I will hand over some business affairs of the company to you. Unless I feel that the company's operation is not right, otherwise I will stay behind the scenes and will not interfere." Lu Yuan nodded.
"Third, if the company wants to make a movie, you must treat Huaxin and your remote company equally. They have a script to shoot, and I also have a script to shoot..."
"Yes, as long as you can prove that you have the ability to shoot." Lu Yuan nodded.
None of this matters.
Do you still have few American movies in your mind?
There are a lot of plots if you just talk about it...
"All the requirements I said must be written into the contract!"
"Well, it's okay, Wu Tingting, let's draw up a contract..."
"Boss Lu, I've already made a plan."
"Oh……"
"What about the global distribution contract?"
"This... sorry, Mr. Lu, I didn't plan to..."
"Okay, anyway, it's a matter of going out with the left hand and going in with the right..."
"right."
When Wu Tingting took out a contract from her bag and handed it to Lu Yuan, Fu Ruisi, who was sitting by the side, suddenly felt uncomfortable.
No global distribution contract proposed?
It turned out that they were planning to acquire their own company from the beginning.
Even after they entered this "remote" entertainment, they were calculating themselves.
The so-called conditions I called may have been in their calculations all along...
Forex closed his eyes.
He accepted his fate.
………………………
"There is big news!"
"what news!"
"I received news that the overseas distribution rights of "The Man From Earth" have been authorized!"
"What? Out? Which company?"
"Hua Xin."
"What? Huaxin? Which company is Huaxin? Why haven't I heard of it..."
"I hear it's a dying company in Hollywood..."
"What! Er Gouzi..."
"Turn down Paramount and work with a company that's going out of business? Is that... crazy?"
"..."
