Treasure Island 1992, starting from the Four Little Heavenly Kings

"Chen, congratulations on the global box office of "Anaconda" exceeding [-] million!" Ha Wei shook hands with Chen Qiming, and then looked like a veteran, "It's such a hit at the box office, shouldn't you organize a party?"

He winked and said, "If you don't have a girl, I can help. You know, I'm very capable in this area!"

There is strength.

But Chen Qiming was more afraid that he would find some girls from the San Fernando Valley.

“If there is a chance to organize a party, I will invite you. Now, let’s get straight to the point!
I want to see how interested you are in Death Comes! "

Pulling out the stool, Chen Qiming sat across from him, ordered a cup of coffee and went straight to the topic.

Partying is indeed a tool for interpersonal communication in Hollywood.

But Chen Qiming hasn't been here long and doesn't know so many people at all, so there is no need to engage in such a battle.

Moreover, Hollywood parties are so over-the-top that the organizers are like madams.

He really had no interest in it.

Of course, he will definitely hold a personal banquet in the future.

It is the so-called coming and not going indecent.

He has gone to other people's parties, so he has to go back once!

You don't have to come back, but if you come a few more times, I'm afraid no one will take him to play.

"Chen, don't worry. I dare say that no one in the United States is more sincere than me."

Harvey said confidently.

"I hope so!" Chen Qiming didn't really believe it.

This guy Harvey has a terrible reputation in Hollywood.

Known for his love of tricking people.

Of course, he still has some strength. He has Disney on his back and has very impressive resources.

"Warner offered 800 million, right! I was higher than them, 1000 million.

For 1000 million US dollars, the North American copyright of "Death is Coming" was handed over to me! "

Without waiting for Chen Qiming's answer, he added: "Chen, this condition is absolutely sincere. If it weren't for your sake, I wouldn't have given you so much without seeing this movie."

Chen Qiming didn't believe what Harvey said.

He even knew that Warner offered 800 million US dollars. If he had never seen the movie at Warner, Chen Qiming would never believe it.

Paying $1000 million for a movie you haven’t seen yet?
This is fool.

And is Harvey a fool?
Being able to get to the top of Hollywood, he is not only not stupid, but also very smart.

Obviously, this guy watched "Death Comes" through some channel and felt that the movie had great potential, so he pursued Chen Qiming to win the movie.

"If this is how sincere you are, then I don't think there's anything left to talk about!"

Chen Qiming wiped his mouth and stood up directly.

"Chen, this is already the most appropriate price. Above this price, no one is willing to bet on this film without you as the starring role!"

Harvey also stood up, but he did not retain Chen Qiming. He spoke loudly and watched Chen Qiming leave.

Chen Qiming was not surprised at all.

No one who works well in Hollywood is simple.

Harvey's estimate of "Death is Coming" definitely exceeds 1000 million.

But negotiate!

A negotiation that succeeds the first time is no longer a negotiation.

Just like pulling on a belt, both parties will pull hard toward themselves until the belt is completely tight.

If Harvey can still raise the price, he will definitely look for Chen Qiming again in less than two days.

After all, Chen Qiming has announced to the public that he will return to Asia in two days.

And this was also true. Harvey came to him again the next day.

"Twelve million, Chen, this is my final offer!"

As soon as they met, Harvey got straight to the point.

"2000 million!"

Chen Qiming said without raising his head.

"What?" Harvey was stunned.

Then, his face turned red, "Chen, you are blackmailing me, and do you look down on me?

Your offer from Warner is obviously US$500 million! "

"Yes, it was originally 1000 million, but now the price has increased!"

Chen Qiming said and handed a newspaper on the table to Ha Wei.

Harvey took the newspaper with a puzzled look.

When I opened the newspaper and looked at it, my face suddenly turned ugly.

[Brian Glazer, the producer of Buena Vista Films, met with Jamie Chen, who may join Universal’s new film "Ransomstorm"]

"Bowei is also interested in "Death is Coming"?" "Yes, you are a person with great vision. You can see the potential of "Death is Coming" and agree that Bowei also has people in this field."

Chen Qiming nodded.

Ok!

Actually he lied.

Brian from Bowie Films came to him to actually invite him to star in "Ransom Storm".

However, the character is a robber leader.

From the plot point of view, Chen Qiming still likes this character quite a lot.

If he wanted to go to China, he wouldn't mind playing such a villain to hone his acting skills and change the audience's perception of him.

But this is America.

For a Chinese to play the role of a robber and villain, this is very bad for the image of the Chinese people.

So he said no.

However, even though he refused, he had a good chat with Brian, the producer of "Ransom Storm".

The other party did not invite him to play the role of the villain because of his race.

But I simply thought he was popular and had good acting skills, so I invited him.

After being rejected by Chen Qiming, he asked about the reason and apologized to Chen Qiming for this.

And said that if there is a chance, we will cooperate again.

Because the conversation was good, Brian finally asked him to do a favor.

That is, when Bowei released the news that he was joining "Ransom Storm", he could not explain it and let the outside world spread the news for a while, so as to increase the popularity of this project.

Chen Qiming agreed to let Bo Wei hype it up.

By the way, he also asked the other party for help and expressed his interest in "Death Comes" to put pressure on Warner and Harvey.

"Fake!"

Harvey cursed under his breath.

He did not suspect that Chen Qiming was lying.

He didn't think that Chen Qiming could invite Brian to act with him.

Who is Brian?
Top Hollywood producers.

He has been active in Hollywood since the 80s and has produced countless classic and box office hits.

Classic movies such as "Earth Ambition" and "Apollo NO. 13" were all produced by him.

He is the most capable top producer of Buvet.

This kind of person should not lie with Chen Qiming.

"Fifteen million! I'll pay you fifteen million!" Harvey pondered for a while and quoted a price that he had never thought of when he came here.

"Not enough, the minimum is 800 million!"

"Fifteen million and a half million!"

"610 million!"

……

If you say something to the two of us, if you say something to me, it can cost tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.

In the end, the price stopped at 650 million.

"Ha Wei, you made a lot of money!"

When leaving, Chen Qiming said to Harvey.

"Shit! If I lose the bet, you will be the biggest sinner!" Harvey looked depressed.

Chen Qiming smiled.

Harvey will be thankful for his extraordinary offer today.

Chen Qiming is very confident that "Death is Coming" will be successful.

To be honest, if he hadn't been a little worried about the sharing model after thinking about it.

Afraid of being swallowed up by these Hollywood players, he would never choose to buy out.

But there is no way, Qiming Film and Television has too little power in Europe and the United States.

The accounts of the share-sharing model are too difficult to check. If you are not careful, you will be swallowed up, and any profit will turn into a loss.

In order to avoid this situation, Chen Qiming will buy out the North American copyright of "Death is Coming".

However, for Qiming Film and Television, this actually doesn’t mean much loss.

More than 600 million yuan. If calculated based on the sharing model, he would need at least 6000 million box office to get so much money.

There is no need to take risks now, why not just let Harvey take the gamble.

Moreover, "The God of Death" has already earned tens of millions of dollars even before it is released, which is also a happy thing.
