Chapter 769 Dirty Deal

"Wuhu!"

The sun was just right today, and Chen Qi was speeding down the snowy road wearing a full set of equipment, with the green pines and cypresses on both sides passing by. Uma Thurman followed closely behind. She played on the veneer, which has become popular in recent years. Her two long legs are strong and powerful, and she is extremely chic.

Behind them are Xiao Mo and Xiao Yang, who focus on Mang.

Uma Thurman stopped, adjusted her goggles, and gasped: "Chen! You must have lied, it can't be your first time skiing!"

"This is really my first time, and I have a strong learning ability."

"NO! You must be lying!"

"There are some geniuses in the world who are unreasonable."

Chen Qi sat on the ground, struggling to take off his board and just go skiing. He knew many things, such as photography, dressing, guitar, computer repair, 69, and King of Glory, which were all leftovers from his previous life.

Seeing that he was about to leave, Uma Thurman asked, "Would you like to stop playing for a while?"

"I'll make an appointment later."

"Okay, okay, I understand that you have to be busy with the movie, Chen... Speaking of which, why don't you choose an English name? I can't pronounce your name well," she suggested.

"English name? How about Tustin Hamburg?"

"What a weird name!"

Chen Qi smiled and was about to fool her when he suddenly climbed a few steps to avoid being hit by Xiao Mo.

Xiao Mo rushed down like a runaway locomotive, while Xiao Yang was the car body. The two screamed and completed the docking.

"Shame on you! Get up quickly!" He kicked each other.

"We haven't played it before either. It's definitely okay to try it again."

"Just give it a try, let's go, let's go!"

He waved his hand at Uma Thurman, grabbed the two of them and left, returning the equipment first.

There are a lot of tourists in Park City in winter, so the price of renting equipment is not cheap. They couldn't bring much US dollars out of the country, but Bob Shea had some, and so did Jiang Zhiqiang, and they spent them happily.

He originally wanted to drag Ling Mei over, but Ling Mei refused due to poor health, saying that it was the root cause of the illness.

After leaving the ski resort, I felt that there were more people and it felt like a bustling place.

In later generations, the Sundance Film Festival had an annual budget of $10 million.

A small part is earned by oneself, and the majority is donated and sponsored. The money is used to support independent films and even fund crews to participate in film festivals. Many poor crews don't even have money to buy air tickets.

Right now, the Sundance Film Festival doesn't have much influence yet, and it's very rudimentary in every aspect. But Robert Redford is very respectable personally, and Hollywood filmmakers and media are willing to support him.

…………

Mason is a journalist.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, he entered an inconspicuous small hotel on time and furtively.

He recently took on a job singing the praises of a movie called "Sweetie." This kind of business is not uncommon. The media does not directly affect the awards, but it will affect the business negotiations of a film. If your work has a good reputation, you will be able to sell more if you sell the copyright.

If there is anything special, it is that the person this time is a Chinese.

The Chinese who is quite famous in Hollywood won the Oscar for Best Screenplay for "Life is Beautiful" and won 70 million box office for "Fifty First Dates".

"If he were a white American, he would have been snapped up by major companies, with lots of preferential terms, and countless starlets."

Mason only hates that he is not a white-skinned person with yellow skin and talent.

"Dong dong dong!"

"Please come in!"

He knocked on a door, and there were several people sitting inside, the most eye-catching one being the Chinese filmmaker.

"Mr. Mason!"

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Chen!"

Mason shook hands with a few people, sat down and exchanged greetings: "I didn't expect you to come to Sundance. This place is usually filled with unknown directors and producers, and few well-known figures attend."

"It's a coincidence. My company made a small-budget film, and I heard that there was an independent film event in the United States, so I signed up to give it a try, but I didn't know that I was shortlisted," said Chen Qida.

""Sweetheart" will be released on the 19th. In what direction do you want to guide it?"

"We prepared articles."

Mason took the film review, read it carefully, and nodded: "The concept of this story is very selling, and it is rare in Hollywood. It is worthy of discussion."

"We need you to contact more media to bring the topic up, and it is best to form a unified trend."

When he mentioned this, Mason perked up and said with a smile: "My personal remuneration is one thing, and this is another thing. You know the most important thing for a film festival is fairness and justice. The media can have a bias, but it can't be too obvious." …”

"Okay, okay, how about a price?"

"$100,000!"

"30,000!"

"I can contact more than 20 friends. 30,000 yuan cannot make more than 20 reporters violate their principles. 80,000 yuan cannot be less!"

"Up to 50,000!"

"Okay, okay, I'll just do you a favor."

Mason reluctantly agreed. Isn’t it up to him to decide how much of the 50,000 yuan he would take and how much he would share with others? It's very easy to write a review to praise a movie, just write it casually.

Unexpectedly, the Chinese suddenly said: "But you have to cooperate!"

Chen Qi motioned to Xiao Mo, and Xiao Mo dodged, revealing a radio cassette player behind him, with the microphone plugged in - this kind of machine can record human voices onto tapes.

Mason's face sank: "Isn't that necessary? I think we can trust each other!"

Chen Qi said: "You can take 5,000 yuan, and the rest of you will take 2,000 yuan on average. This is definitely a high price. Don't think about writing something to fool me. You need to follow up and discuss in depth, and describe "Sweetheart" as a pioneer of women's resistance to adult tyranny.

You need to make a commitment to ensure the quality of these articles. I don't believe in any agreement, I only believe in pledges of allegiance. You can refuse, I will find someone else."

"..."

Mason struggled and struggled again.

The other party was right. For reporters like them, it is definitely a high price.

"Okay, okay, for the sake of money, I will record it! This way I will feel relieved, we have a handle on each other."

He comforted himself and recorded a paragraph with a constipated face. Chen Qi also asked him to take a few photos of him. Mason laughed and said: "Nixon has these two tricks like you, and he won't be caught by others."

"Nixon's brain is still okay, at least not as wild as Kennedy's."

"Wow! This joke is really good!"

Mason gave a thumbs up.

Chen Qi snorted inwardly, "You're kidding!" This is all my experience from the United Front. We must seize the handle and keep the evidence in everything.

Bob Shea brought 200,000 US dollars in public relations fees. Don't underestimate it. The pay of Hollywood's top stars these days is only a few million.

Jim Carrey, the first member of the 20 million club, is still playing a small role, Julia Roberts is still a young model, and Brad Pitt is still doing a promising career as a male nanny...

Ling Mei once again watched this dirty deal and was even more shocked. The United States is not clean either.
