Life in a quiet village in Xianshan

"An investment of five million... Tsk!" Gu Siwei paused.

Lucas said: "If you think the investment is too high, I don't need to pay the director's fee, but I want the copyright."

After hearing this, Gu Siwei looked at Lucas and thought: You kid is playing with me! The copyright is given to you, your beauty will never die! Then didn’t my trip back in vain?

"I feel that an investment of five million US dollars is far from enough. At least nine million US dollars are needed. Your director's fee cannot be small, but the copyright must belong to me," said Gu Siwei.

At this moment, Lucas couldn't imagine what he would lose. He was just a new director who just wanted to express his most perfect ideas. As for other things, it would be useless if he couldn't make it, so the most important thing is to first Only by making the film can we have other things.

But even so, Lucas still did not agree to Gu Siwei easily, because he still had the idea in his mind that he wanted to try his luck in other companies.

Gu Siwei was not in a hurry. He felt that no one would agree to give him nine million dollars except himself.

Is nine million dollars expensive?

Looking at it from today's Hollywood perspective, this is going to go to heaven! If you invest so much, everyone will just wait and see how you die.

But looking at it from the perspective of a few decades, nine million? The damn 900 million is worth it. Star Wars created not just a movie, but a culture! Every Star Wars movie is a perfect treat for fans.

How could Gu Siwei give up this little sickle to someone else? In total, he only knew three directors, Spielberg, and he couldn't dig a spoon. Now there was only one Lucas in front of him who could harvest it. As for Truck Driver, movies are great. Whether it's "Titanic" or "Avatar", they are both great, ranking first in box office history. But when it comes to making money, Lucas is the most powerful.

This is the time difference between Gu Siwei.

Gu Siwei is not in a hurry. He doesn't believe that Fox will spend more than 9 million to gamble at this time. If Fox comes, Gu Siwei doesn't mind increasing the investment to 10 million, right! Gu Siwei just wants to let people know that I just like Lucas, a cutting-edge director.

There was nothing to say in the subsequent chat, and Gu Siwei did not stay for long. About five minutes after finishing the formal conversation, Gu Siwei stood up and left.

When he arrived at the door and got in the car, Dave McCollum, the new manager of Legend Film Company, had secretly wiped his sweat several times. He felt that he was not far away from finding a new job.

As for Yu Wei, he turned around and looked at Gu Siwei from time to time along the way, as if he was looking at a monster.

Gu Siwei saw it all, but how could he have the time to care about these two people at the moment? His heart was bubbling with beauty, so beautiful that he even hummed a little song softly at the end.

"I have been waiting for a long time and finally waited for today. I have been dreaming for a long time. I bring a spoon to realize my dream, and I can grab all the money. Fortunately, I came early. I have been looking forward to this day for a long time..."

Yu Wei listened for a while and said: "The song is good, who sang it?"

Um? !

Gu Siwei was a little confused and turned to look at Yu Wei next to him.

Yu Wei gestured: "The song you just sang is good, who sang it?"

Gu Siwei thought for a while and felt that Uncle Hua might not have debuted yet. This song?

"I wrote it myself" Gu Siwei was very shameless and didn't hesitate at all when he said it.

Yu Wei was very doubtful: "Did you write it? Don't bullshit me. With your singing ability, can you still write songs?"

Gu Siwei said: "Isn't it possible? Whoever can't sing well can't write songs?"

At this moment, Gu Siwei thought: That's because you have never seen a guy named Wubai.

Yu Wei glanced at Gu Siwei again, and then said: "This song can be used in our next movie."

"I really don't know, maybe it's a folk song, a folk song from the north," Gu Siwei said.

Yu Wei didn't want to talk to him anymore, turned his head and started humming the tune Gu Siwei just hummed in his heart.

After sending Gu Siwei and Yu Wei to the hotel, Dave, the manager of Legendary Pictures, wiped his sweat and left.

Returning to the door of the room, Gu Siwei discovered that Yu Wei did not go back to his room, but followed him here.

"What?"

"Let's talk!"

There were some things Yu Wei didn't want to say, so when Gu Siwei opened the door, he rushed in first.

Seeing Gu Siwei close the door, Yu Wei said: "You are really good. Did you see your manager? I don't know how many times I sweated it along the way. It's nine million US dollars. You are really rich."

Gu Siwei said: "If he is as good as me, it would be him sitting in the car with a clear sky, and I would be sitting next to him wiping my sweat!"

Xingye's words are very classic, and what Gu Siwei came up with is now said to be very good!

Well!

These words immediately choked Yu Wei. He originally wanted to persuade Gu Siwei, but suddenly he didn't know how to start. Although Gu Siwei said that he would invest 9 million, he hadn't signed it yet, so nothing he said counted. , as a friend, Yu Wei felt that he needed to explain the risks to Gu Siwei.

The film industry, well, how should I put it, using four words to describe it is a mess, it can even be said to be a mess.

It is impossible for people like Yu Wei to believe that the United States regulates how and where everyone follows the rules, because Yu Wei himself has lived in the United States for a few years, and he was robbed. I have seen too many dark sides of the United States, and I know how difficult it is for someone with an Asian face to get along in the United States.

There is no discrimination. If you have money, you are the boss? You can think so, but if you really do it and think that you can go on a rampage with an Asian face and money in your pocket, you are looking for death.

After organizing his words, Yu Wei said earnestly: "If you are really rich, just vote more for old friends' movies. We are making money here. We have finished filming. We don't have to worry about Hong Kong City. Wandao We don’t have to worry over there. My old man’s relationship is still there, and Jian Min’s side is also on the island. There will be no problem at all for our movie to be released. You must be so radical and invest nine million US dollars in one go. Nine million U.S. dollars, what kind of industry wouldn’t be better invested in Hong Kong with this money?”

Gu Siwei heard Yu Wei's words and looked him squarely in the eyes.

At this moment, Yu Wei did not give in at all. He also looked into Gu Siwei's eyes, his eyes full of sincerity. Gu Siwei believed that at least at this moment, Yu Wei truly considered himself from the perspective of a friend.

A little touched in my heart, I reached out and patted Yu Wei's shoulder lightly, and said to Yu Wei: "I know you mean well, but I have a strong feeling now that this young director will give me a big deal." surprise.

The feeling is stronger than the first time I bought a house. I think there is a 70% chance that I will gain a lot from this investment. If you want to take a ride, you can invest some."

In order to repay Yu Wei's sincerity, Gu Siwei threw a shrimp leg.

Hearing this, Yu Wei felt as if he had been stung by a wasp. He immediately jumped away and waved his hands repeatedly: "Master Su, my old friend's small business really can't eat this pot of hot rice you made. You can enjoy it yourself. If you want to do it your own way." If you have the power of the president, then I will join forces with Jian Min to veto you!"

"Look at you like that. You still refuse to give me money. It's really hard for me to get to the table." Gu Siwei said with a smile.

When Yu Wei heard this, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that Gu Siwei would ask Laoyou's company to pay. This time it was a small deal. "American Style Painting" Laoyou only offered $100,000.

Even if I lost everything, my old friend still made a profit.

Why is it a shout? Is it not a big deal in Hong Kong to cast a movie at the same time as Universal? So what the hell is that?

As for being cast in that director's big sci-fi production, Yu Wei couldn't even think about it. This is not casting for a movie, it's just risking one's life!

I am an old man with a small family background, so I really can't play cards with you guys at the same table. What you play is your courage, but what I play for is my life.

"Don't worry about this. I just want us to be friends." Yu Wei said with a smile, "I really can't afford to play with my old friend's family fortune."

Gu Siwei was in a very good mood. He reached out and tapped Yu Wei: "You have to remember today."

At this point, Gu Siwei raised his watch and first reported the preparation time, which year, month and day: "It is now ten quarters and thirty seconds. I invite you to invest in "Star Wars". You are right." I sternly refused. You must remember in this life that I did not take you with me."

When Yu Wei heard this, he immediately raised his hands and said, "Thank you!"

"Remember the time, there will be a day you regret it," Gu Siwei said with a smile.

Yu Wei cupped his hand again, but didn't say anything. Looking at his expression, it was clear that Yu Wei didn't take this matter seriously at all.

Gu Siwei wanted to continue teasing him, but the phone in the room rang.

The call came from Gil Amelio of EA. On the phone, he said that the headhunting company had helped select a chip company that met the requirements and asked Gu Siwei to take a look.

Gu Siwei put down the phone and prepared to go out.

Yu Wei also followed.

"Can I follow you to see the excitement?" When Yu Wei saw Gu Siwei stopped, he opened his mouth and asked.

Gu Siwei nodded: "There's nothing wrong with it, but I'm afraid you won't be interested."

"Look, it doesn't matter, I'm a bit bored here anyway," Yu Wei said.

Gu Siwei said: "If you're bored, go back early. Is there nothing going on with my old friend?"

"You want me to go back and work for you early? Your calculation is very good, but I am not stupid! I have to play here for a few days, and I finally come to Hollywood to stir up trouble. I don't know the next time. "Yu Wei said with a smile.

After hearing this, Gu Siwei smiled, opened the door to the room, and let Yu Wei go out first. He walked out and closed the door behind him.

When the two of them arrived at the door chatting and laughing, the car called from the hotel front desk was already waiting for them.

"It seems that you will come to the United States often in the future. Buy a house here. How can you live in a hotel all the time?"

After getting in the car, Yu Wei glanced at the black driver in front of him, stretched out his hand and raised the partition in front, and started chatting with Gu Siwei about the house.
