Director: Female stars want to improve too much

Chapter 15: Stand up, Lionsgate (please read)
  Looking back at Gong Li's slightly expectant eyes and her plump, empty, and hot body, Xing Baizhou gritted his teeth and sat back down.

He picked up a chicken wing and was about to put it in his mouth, but seeing Gong Li's greedy look, he handed it to her.

Emperor Gong did not reach out to take it, but gently opened his red lips and bit them with his eight neat white teeth.

While biting, he stared at Xing Baizhou as if he was seeing a very delicious prey.

At some point, her left shoulder strap slipped off, exposing her fair shoulders and collarbone.

She didn't seem to notice.

All his attention was focused on the chicken wings beside his mouth. Apparently he hadn't eaten chicken for a long time and was a little hungry.

Countless thoughts flashed through Xing Baizhou's heart, "Made, the big sister and the little girl are really different, they are so awesome!"

For a girl in her twenties, she will be clumsy no matter what you tell her to do, but for a young woman in her 30s, you can just lie down.

Xing Baizhou can't stand it anymore...

He reached out and pinched Gong Li's shoulder strap that had slipped, and then slowly lifted it up under her gaze.

Gong Li sat upright, tilted his head and looked at her, looking at her with interest: "She has strong self-control... she will definitely be promising in the future."

Xing Baizhou smiled and said: "Sister Li, I'm sorry, I just respect..."

Before he finished speaking the word 'respect', Xing Baizhou's eyes widened and the chicken wings in his hand fell into the family bucket.

KFC...is really going to become a gnawing chicken.

Gong Li, a big star, actually took advantage of him to launch a sneak attack. She knelt down and knelt in front of Xing Baizhou's legs with her legs together.

"Sister Li, why do you need to give such a big gift? Hiss..."

……

……

The next day.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

"Dong dong dong" knocked on the door. Jiang Wen stood at the door of Xing Baizhou with dark circles under his eyes.

"Xiao Xing, get up and go to work. The film festival organizing committee has added extra scenes for our movie today. Aren't you going to go to the road show?"

"Squeak." The door opened.

"Ah, Uncle Jiang, why do you have such big dark circles under your eyes? What did you do so late last night?" Xing Baizhou rubbed his sleepy eyes and said with a smile.

"Hahaha, you know, your kid won't tell you anymore, go wash up and eat, and go horse riding later."

"It's a road show."

"Yes, yes, road show, get up quickly."

"..."

"Sister, go forward boldly, go forward..." Jiang Wen hummed a ditty and left.

It seemed that even though he was very tired from "horse racing" last night, at least he was mentally happy and staying up late... was worth it!
  As for Xing Baizhou, he actually slept later than brothers Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu last night, but who said he was young and in good health? !
  This morning, I was still very energetic and had no intention of staying up all night to fight.

Also very energetic is Gong Li.

Her condition today was similar to that of Xu Qing, her complexion was rosy, as if she had had a top-notch beauty treatment.

She went to major theaters with the crew early in the morning, and there was gossip that "Pretty Mom" ​​had been nominated for Best Actress, which made Gong Li even more happy.

One morning.

Xing Baizhou and Jiang Wen visited five or six movie theaters, and almost every one was full.

and.

I asked a few random viewers, and they all said, "The movie is very good, and the director is very handsome. It's great!"

but.

Still no film distributor has come to discuss copyright matters.

There is no choice but to wait.

Time flies to September 9th.

Just after 9 o'clock in the morning, Xing Baizhou couldn't wait to go out. He was going to the film festival organizing committee building to meet a client today.

And in the distant capital.

Today is the day before the start of school for Nortel's Class 2000 students, and many students from other places have already arrived at school early.

Dong Ao, Che Xiao, Zhang Songwen and others reported in with large and small bags respectively, waiting for the official start of school tomorrow.

What they don't know is...

A male classmate from the same class has already participated in a film festival in faraway Canada.

and.

We are negotiating with a well-known film company established in 1997 for North American copyright business.    That company is Lionsgate Pictures.

Lionsgate is headquartered in California, USA. Three years after its establishment, under the siege of the six major Hollywood film and television companies, it still managed to carve out a bloody road with its outstanding vision.

The movies they distribute and produce focus on low-cost thrillers and crime movies, winning a large number of loyal fans.

Of course, what company doesn’t want to get bigger? Don’t want to compete with the six major Hollywood studios?
  So their film purchasing manager, who runs film festivals around the world, wanted to represent some "fish that slipped through the net".

But it's easier said than done.

For a long time, great movies usually have great companies behind them, and it’s hard to see good movies that are purely wild anymore.

Today, Smith came to see this small Oriental film crew because he had no choice but to go shopping for eight or nine days, but he didn't find a few movies with hot spots!
  "Shit, there aren't many beauties in this film festival, and there aren't many good films." Just after finishing his curse, Smith opened the door and entered the conference room.

Xing Baizhou and Jiang Wen saw a 50-year-old white-bearded man entering the room and stood up to greet him.

"Hello, Mr. Smith."

"Hello!"

They were so enthusiastic when they first met, but they were so tense when discussing business. Jiang Wen and Smith argued until their faces turned red.

"Bai Zhou, Jiang Wen, I can only offer you $50. You know, this is a movie adaptation."

"Mr. Smith, you should have seen our movie, otherwise you wouldn't come. What do you think of our remake?"

"To be honest, it's one of the better remakes I've ever seen, but this only represents my personal preference, and the audience may not necessarily buy it."

"You can't say that, just listen to my analysis..."

The cunning white beard! !

You have been in the film buying business for decades, but you don’t know what types of movies the audience likes?

If you think "Citizens 12" has no chance of making money, it is impossible to come and buy the film.

"Baizhou, today is already the 7th, the last day of the film festival, and the possibility of your film being nominated is very small... You have already made money by buying the North American rights for 50 yuan."

"Smith, you can't sell Chinese cabbage like this. 50 yuan buys the theater screening rights and VCD distribution rights. How can there be such a good thing in the world?"

"If I guess correctly, your total investment should not exceed US$30."

Smith paused and continued:

"Besides, I see that Director Xing is young and promising, and I want to retain the opportunity for future cooperation, so I offered 50 US dollars. Otherwise, which company would be interested in your work?"

"..."

The intense negotiation lasted for 10 minutes, and the two sides had not yet reached an agreement. At this moment, Gong Li ran in.

"Xiao Xing, your film was nominated for the debut film competition...ah, are you in a meeting?" Gong Li was stunned when she came in.

Smith stood up quickly and smiled: "Oh, beautiful lady, I know you, Miss Gongli, I have seen you in Berlin, Cannes, Venice and on the cover of Time Magazine..."

Gong Li thought for a moment and seemed to remember: "I remembered that I took a photo with you at that time."

Smith: "Haha, you must be the winner of the Montreal Best Actress this time. My predictions have always been pretty accurate..."

The two chatted for a while.

Gong Li looked at Xing Baizhou, her eyes softening: "Xiao Xing, are you talking about copyright?"

Xing Baizhou nodded and said, "Yes, Mr. Smith is very interested in my movie."

Gong Li smiled and nodded, indicating that she understood, and began to communicate with Smith, without even looking at Jiang Wen.

Jiang Wenxin was so hurt that she was broken into pieces... "Xiao Xing, is Gong Li annoying me? Why doesn't she talk to me?"

Xing Baizhou shrugged: "Maybe he's not free, well, she helped me negotiate the price with Smith."

About five minutes passed.

Smith came over with a pained look on his face: "Baizhou, because your movie was nominated, I will increase it to 70... If I get a bronze award of 80, a silver award of 90, and a gold award of 100 million... this is my bottom line. What a loss."

face this result.

Xing Baizhou was very satisfied.

Even if you can't win the prize, there is still a copyright fee of 70 US dollars, which is 560 million yuan when converted into RMB, which is a guaranteed profit.

After a while, Smith wanted to leave, but he kept saying that he had done a loss-making business and that this old boy was too shrewd.

But when he turned around.

Smith paused again.

He handed Xing Baizhou a business card and said with a smile:

"Xing, if you want to make a new movie, you can contact me. Lionsgate is hungry for global talents. Maybe in the future, you will be the one to overturn the six major Hollywood film and television companies!!"

　Thanks to Emperor Frederica for the 1000 point reward.
