Chapter 292 I Can't Do Anything if You Want to Send Me Money
In the "Meet You" cafe, Lu Yuan's was directly upgraded to a diamond.
It is one of the few diamond gold cards in the entire cafe.
Diamonds are naturally much more powerful than platinum, at least with this card, you will get a 30% discount on consumption in cafes.
The full-bodied version of musk coffee, which costs about 1,000 yuan, only sells for 300 yuan.
As for the Blue Mountain coffee that Lu Yuan likes to drink, the price is even cheaper, and it only costs 50 yuan to get it done.
This made Lu Yuan feel comfortable and a little annoyed at the same time.
He hated and regretted that he did not know Wang Jinxue's identity in advance. If he had known Wang Jinxue's identity earlier, he could have saved a lot of money before.
Lu Yuan doesn't think it's a sting, after all, is someone who can casually invest millions of dollars considered a sting?
Lu Yuan felt that this was a kind of diligence and frugality, a traditional virtue that had been passed down from China for thousands of years.
As an out-and-out Chinese, Lu Yuan felt that it was necessary and obligatory to inherit this tradition.
In the coffee shop, there was a piano piece that Lu Yuan didn't quite understand. Although he couldn't understand it, it was very nice.
Not long after going up to the second floor and sitting down, Thomson brought his assistant Downey over.
After shaking hands, the two parties sat down.
After sitting down, there was naturally a wave of business bragging. One praised the young sword as a role model for Hollywood science fiction films worth learning, while the other lamented that Lu Yuan's talent is amazing, he is simply the darling of God...
In short, after more than ten minutes of hypocritical business bragging, Thomson finally interrupted this special "beautiful bragging conference".
He found that although Lu Yuan was young, his ability to boast in business was simply incredible.
Various American versions of blowing, the Chinese version of blowing is actually very easy to come by and even proficient in it!
He found that he really couldn't boast about Lu Yuan...
this person...
There is something.
"Cough, cough, Mr. Lu, I believe you understand the purpose of my visit this time."
"Yes, Mr. Thomson, I understand."
"I want your "The Man From Earth". For the second part, I have a good idea. I hope to follow this path... This time I came here with sincerity. I reflected on it. It is really not sincere to talk about this topic with you on the phone, so I came here in person today..."
"Mr. Thomson, it's not that I don't want to authorize you, but I don't think there should be a second part of this movie. The taste of the second part of many things is really different from the first part."
"Mr. Lu, I will not ruin the first part, and I am confident that I can make the second part of "The Man From Earth" well."
"This...Mr. Thomson, the second part really can't guarantee the box office, and you will regret it..." Lu Yuan looked at Thomson's determined look with a bitter expression on his face. He really felt sorry for the few people on Thomson's head. Grove's.
"Mr. Lu, no matter how the final box office is, I don't regret it. Mr. Lu, I hope you can feel my sincerity, okay?"
"This……"
"Mr. Lu, I specially approved one million dollars to the company. Can I buy your authorization for this one million dollars?"
"Thomson...it's not a question of money."
"Mr. Lu, if not, I'll add another 100,000 dollars privately, 1.1 million! Mr. Lu, I'm not very good at talking, please forgive me for being straightforward, but I still say that, I really I'm quite sincere, if I wasn't sincere, I wouldn't have flown all the way from America to meet you..." Thomson looked at Lu Yuan.
"..." Lu Yuan looked at him without saying a word.
He could see that Thomson was actually determined to win, with a posture of not turning back if he hit the south wall.
Of course, he could also see that Thomson was indeed sincere.
He silently looked out of the window of the cafe.
It's dimly lit outside...
A little farther away, a round of bright moon shines in the void.
Wu Tingting was the interpreter from the beginning to the end.
She couldn't figure out what Lu Yuan was thinking. Normally, Mr. Lu would suggest that she come over to be a middleman, but now...
Mr. Lu doesn't seem to have any instructions.
Thomson and Downey glanced at each other, and they both saw confusion in each other's eyes.
They couldn't even understand what Lu Yuan was doing...
Then the two exchanged glances.
Thomson: Isn't the money added enough?
Downey: How about another fifty thousand dollars?
Thomson: Well, that's all.
"Mr. Thomson, I'm actually quite sincere, but..."
"Mr. Lu... $1.25 million, please authorize us!" Before Lu Yuan could finish speaking, Thomson interrupted Lu Yuan.
"..." Lu Yuan sighed, his eyes were a bit complicated, and he seemed to have finally made a decision after many, many struggles: "Since Thomson has made up his mind, I have nothing to do...Wu Tingting, do you have an authorization contract?"
"Bring it."
"All right, show Thomson."
"Row."
Wu Tingting specially prepared a contract in English, and after seeing Lu Yuan nodding in agreement, handed the contract to Thomson.
Thomson got the contract and handed it to Downey to read it carefully. After Downey felt that the contract was okay, he nodded with a happy expression and signed his name.
At this moment, the big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground.
This Lu Yuan's price is a bit ruthless, if he doesn't spend some money, he really can't win this script.
The contract was relatively simple. After signing the contract and getting the authorization, the smile on Thomson's face became even brighter.
But Lu Yuan didn't feel happy about making money this time, instead he felt a little helpless.
He has good intentions, but people don't understand his kindness.
What can he do?
After signing the contract, Thomson and Downey naturally shook Lu Yuan's hand again with a grateful expression, and then they prepared to leave.
"Um... Thomson, how much are you going to invest in this movie?"
"The investment... is estimated to be around 10 million U.S. dollars."
"Ten million dollars?"
"Yes."
"Actually, it's better to have less..."
"Mr. Lu, these are not things you should worry about. I plan to do a good job with this movie, and there are some derivative plots in it..."
"..."
Thomson told a long story of bells and whistles.
However, Lu Yuan found that Thomson's thinking was similar to that of "The Man From Earth 2" in the previous world...
He had a bad feeling.
But after looking at Thomson who is now beaming and excited, Lu Yuan knows that what he says now is useless.
After listening to Thomson silently, he watched Thomson leave.
Under the moonlight, Thomson's shadow was stretched very long.
"Mr. Lu, you don't seem very happy? Is it because the price is sold or you are not satisfied?"
"no……"
"That is……"
"Actually, I said that I am a very conscientious person, would you believe me? Unfortunately, everything is not going well..."
"Mr. Lu, I understand." Wu Tingting nodded
In Mr. Lu's mind, this price is still cheap, right?
Wu Tingting suddenly blamed herself.
If she had known earlier, she would have found a way to raise the price more.
After Lu Yuan looked at Wu Tingting's appearance, he knew that she didn't understand.
But what can be done about it?
This Thomson is so sincere, even if he has almost said that "The Man From Earth 2" may hit the street.
what can he do
He can't do anything!
Do you really think he wants to make $1.25 million?
Although 1.2 million dollars is indeed very useful, he had no choice but to agree!
He really wants to be an honest person!
He looked up at the sky, and saw the crippled moon...
The moonlight is beautiful.
Very bright.
but……
Who made his sorrow flow upstream?
……………………………
On the 28th, it was sunny.
"The Man From Earth", a tough movie that has been going on for such a long time, finally draws its perfect ending.
Immediately afterwards, its discussion on the Internet gradually decreased.
This movie is over, but the benefits it brings to Lu Yuan are indeed substantial.
With this movie, Lu Yuan seems to have washed a wave of whitewash on the Internet. Netizens who scolded Lu Yuan for being stingy turned to marvel at Lu Yuan's vision and talent. far bragging...
Of course, many people followed suit.
This can’t be helped, after all, the movies and box office results are there, if you don’t brag about it, you will be behind, right? Just like scolding Lu Yuan before, even if you have a good impression of Lu Yuan, but seeing everyone scolding Lu Yuan, if you don't get involved, it will appear that you don't fit in, you are unique...
That's roughly what it means.
Those who scold you do not mean to slander you, and those who praise you do not necessarily mean that they really think you are awesome.
This is an eternal truth.
However, after Shen Lianjie directly blasted Lu Yuan on Weibo in the early hours of the 28th, netizens immediately felt that the expression was very exciting.
Shen Lianjie posted a Weibo of about 3,000 characters.
This is the first time he has spoken out against Lu Yuan, explaining in detail the conflicts he had with Lu Yuan when he was filming "Alien Era", and even angrily scolded Lu Yuan for being shameless and calling Lu Yuan a The old cunning, designed to play him, even, he exposed all the "distance" restaurant opened by Lu Yuan in his hometown and the newly opened "Chengyuan" takeaway in Hengdian!
At the end of the article, I appeal to the directors and friends of Huaxia to stay away from Lu Yuan!
When they saw someone tearing Lu Yuan apart, Lu Yuan's fans were naturally not reconciled. They were going to make Shen Lianjie suspicious of his life just like Han Lu before, but when they read all the content on Weibo, he suddenly sympathized with him. Missed Jet Lianjie, and even wanted to help Jet Lian Jie laugh and scold Lu Yuan...
"Er Gouzi, how can you do this? You just designed to increase the price of other people's boxed lunches, but you even let your takeaway supply to the crew of "Alien Era". How can you do this?"
"Lu Yuan, can you be more considerate, have you considered our Shen Lianjie in this way? You earned all the money for feelings?"
"This man... Er Gouzi, what other tricks have you not used? Have you used all the takeaway routines? Now I seriously suspect that there is a mole planted by you in "Alien Era"!"
"I have sympathy for Shen Lianjie... Is there anyone in the crew that I can trust?"
"Let your own people scold you and win the trust of your opponent? This operation..."
"Yeah... So you were played by Er Gouzi from the very beginning, hahaha!"
"..."
"I'm looking forward to how Er Gouzi will respond to Shen Lianjie on Weibo..."
"I think Er Gouzi will respond, and then run an advertisement for "Groundhog Day" by the way. With his personality, he will do it 100%!"
"Yes, I think so too. If he doesn't do that, I'll live stream Chixiang... By the way, haha, it's quite interesting!"
"yes!"
Shen Lianjie was indeed terribly angry when Lu Yuan made such a move.
He had never seen such a shameless person!
it turns out……
Secretly arranged for the staff of his own takeaway shop to go to his crew to deliver takeaways!
Even, this staff member said a lot of bad things about Lu Yuan in front of his crew...
He thought this person was his own...
did not expect!
Damn, it's all a routine!
It's all Lu Yuan messing with himself!
At first, he posted on Weibo just to vent his anger and let everyone recognize Lu Yuan's disgusting face.
However, when he saw that Weibo was reposted thousands of times in an instant, he suddenly had a thought.
This seems to be a good hype method?
Then, a headline-making hype plan appeared in his mind, and he quietly waited for Lu Yuan's reply.
Even if Lu Yuan shamelessly advertises, he can do it.
But……
Lu Yuan did not reply on the afternoon of the 28th, Lu Yuan did not reply on the evening of the 28th, and the whole day of the 29th...
Lu Yuan still didn't reply him.
He was surprised, what is this doing?
A group of netizens who were sharpening their knives and eagerly waiting to eat melons were also dumbfounded.
What?
Still not responding?
This is not scientific!
Isn't your "Groundhog Day" going to be released on 51?
It's been 30 days, why don't you advertise?
This is Lu Yuan?
Isn't it a big move if you don't reply?
