Fifteen thousand dollars!
After hearing this price, all of Wu Jianye's good mood disappeared.

And Sun Jiarui didn't seem to see Wu Jianye's face gradually turning blue, and continued to say proudly: "Xiao Wu, Mr. Weinstein, is a good friend of our domestic film industry. I heard that you have a novel to write." It’s not bad, Mr. Weinstein is interested in the copyright of this book, you can sell it to Mr. Weinstein at a lower price!”

Wu Jianye swore that if Sun Jiarui was not in a high position, he would definitely let the other party know what Huaer is and why it is so popular now.

He didn't even look at Sun Jiarui, but looked at Zhou Qiang, and asked in a cold voice, "Captain Zhou, do you know how stupid it is to sell the copyright of your own film before the film festival is over?" Behavior?

Don’t you really believe in the ability of filmmakers in your own country?Do you guys know what that means if the movie does win at the festival?

It means that it is not just how big a sensation this movie will cause, but that this movie can be sold at a higher price after being blessed with awards.

Haven’t you asked about it? Now there are at least [-] film studios on Lido Island, and there are more than a dozen films participating in the exhibition. Have you ever seen that film sell its copyright at this time? "

Wu Jianye's chest was heaving violently, his eyes were red, everyone could see that Wu Jianye was on the verge of eruption.

Sun Jiarui gave Wu Jianye a dissatisfied look. As one of the top executives of the import and export company, he would care about Wu Jianye's attitude.

"Wu Jianye, what is your attitude? You also said that only films that win awards can be sold at a high price. Are you just directing your first film, and you want to win awards at international film festivals? Now our country Do you think it's just money if the movie can be sold in the United States, and it also represents a kind of glory, do you understand glory!"

Wu Jianye turned his head slowly, and finally looked at Sun Jiarui: "Manager Sun, I don't know what is in your head, is it poop? Even if my movie didn't win, if the other party really appreciates this movie For the movie, do you think he won't buy it for the same price?

glory?Haha, I can tell you that glory is not obtained by others' charity, but by one's own efforts.

For [-] US dollars, you sold the copyright of the movie, your heart is really big! "

"Wu Jianye, pay attention to your attitude. Do you know who you are talking to? Don't think that if one of your films has been shortlisted for an international film festival, you are capable. Let me tell you, no matter who you are, now Apologize to me immediately.

At the same time, in the name of the deputy manager of the output and input company, I will tell you that I will immediately sell the copyright of your book to Mr. Weinstein. We have already told Mr. Weinstein that he will be our overseas partner for domestic films in the future. , your petty profit, you want to make concessions for the construction of the country, understand! "

Wu Jianye glanced at Sun Jiarui and completely lost the idea of ​​talking to him.

"You, Wu Jianye, stop for me!" Sun Jiarui looked at Wu Jianye who turned and left, and was instantly furious.

At this moment, Harvey Weinstein, who was standing aside, could not understand their conversation, but he also knew that he seemed to be smart. This Wu Jianye didn't listen to Sun Jiarui's orders at all.

Without thinking about it at all, Harvey Weinstein immediately ran to Wu Jianye and whispered: "Kun, I don't know the conflict between you, if you are dissatisfied with this price, we will We can continue talking!"

Buying the overseas copyright of the movie "Raise the Red Lantern" was originally intended to be able to build a relationship with Wu Jianye and buy the copyright of "Jurassic Park" in his hands. Now he doesn't understand why he has already researched it. Seeing through Huaxia's superior-subordinate relationship, Wu Jianye would still be like this.
This can only be blamed on Harvey Weinstein's overconfidence and underestimation of Wu Jianye, Huaxia's interpersonal relationship, not to mention his one night, even a pure Chinese person, it is impossible to study thoroughly, how could he.
Wu Jianye looked at Harvey Weinstein coldly, and said, "Harvey Weinstein, I can tell you clearly, don't even think about "Jurassic Park"!"

At this time, Sun Jiarui came over again recklessly, even at this time, he still looked at Wu Jianye with aloofness: "Wu Jianye, I solemnly tell you, I will apologize to Mr. Weinstein immediately, and at the same time, I will Sell ​​the copyright of your crap book to Mr. Weinstein, otherwise, you will never want to make another movie in the future!"

Wu Jianye looked at him, "I'll wait!"

Turn around and leave!

"I don't know what it means, I simply don't know what it means!" Sun Jiarui roared angrily from behind.

late at night.

Tian Zhuangzhuang walked into the dark room, and with the light and moonlight outside, he saw Wu Jianye sitting by the bed, facing the late night outside, silent, with many beer bottles beside him.

"Why are you doing this!"

Tian Zhuangzhuang sat next to Wu Jianye, opened a can, took a sip of beer, and said helplessly: "After the movie is finished, our task as a director is also completed. The business of selling movie copyrights is originally an export and import company. As for the matter with the studio, if you do this, it will only make it more difficult for you to do when you return to China!"

Wu Jianye let out a sad laugh: "I don't understand. You can sell it for more money, why did you sell it so early? Could it be that you can't straighten your waist in front of foreigners?

It sold for $[-], and you know how important this movie was to my plans? "

After the question, Wu Jianye didn't wait for Tian Zhuangzhuang to ask questions, and answered by himself: "I am confident that this movie will get a very good box office abroad. Although it can't be compared with those Hollywood blockbusters, it is worth millions of dollars. The box office is still there, and the copyright I think is at least 30 US dollars! Now."

Tian Zhuangzhuang handed Wu Jianye a can of beer, and said to himself: "You don't care if it's a box office of several million, or a copyright fee of 30. After all, these things are out of your control, I know you He has a lot of thoughts and hopes to make some achievements in the film industry.

But now you want to take these things on yourself. Now that you have offended Sun Jiarui, this person still has some say in the country. If he really targets you, you may really face nothing to do when you go back to the country. In such a situation, how can you take revenge on yourself? "

Wu Jianye didn't speak, and looked at the night scene outside the window.

"Zhuang Zhuang, you said that the night outside is like a bottomless abyss, what is the abyss doing when we stare at it!"

"The abyss is also staring at you!" Tian Zhuangzhuang leaned on the edge of the bed, looking out at the night just like Wu Jianye.
"Detective Chinatown?"

Wu Jianye looked at Tianzhuangzhuang.

"what?"

"fine!"

At this time, Wu Jianye felt very tired, really tired. When he was in China, he was always cautious, for the dream of rebirth in his heart.

But at this time, he felt that when he saw the dawn, he was pushed into the abyss from behind.

going abroad?

Such a thought suddenly burst into Wu Jianye's heart.

At least after going abroad, he will not face such a situation. He believes that relying on the countless cards in his stomach, even if he goes abroad, he will be able to thrive and will never be as tired as he is now.

But he is not reconciled, if he goes abroad like this, no matter what others think, no matter how great success he will achieve in the future, in his heart he will be a loser, a defector, someone who knows how to run away when encountering difficulties people.

Inside a cafe on Lido Island.

Sun Jiarui sat there with a livid face, next to him was Harvey Wayne Starn, and Zhou Qiang was not there.

"Sun, don't be angry, I am very friendly to Huaxia, and I also like your movies very much, but I didn't expect that my friendliness would not be exchanged for equal treatment!"

At this time, Harvey Weinstein knew that the possibility of getting the copyright of "Jurassic Park" from Wu Jianye was gone, so he could only choose to continue to do his homework on Sun Jiarui!
"Mr. Weinstein, I am personally very grateful for your friendship. This Wu Jianye is really clueless. Who does he think he is?"

After the two made complaints about Wu Jianye together, Harvey Wayne Starn continued to throw out his bait: "Sun, I can personally promise you that I will buy a few movies in China every year!"

A surprised smile appeared on Sun Jiarui's face. If Harvey Weinstein's words can really be fulfilled, then his status in the country will definitely rise several levels immediately. By then, a little Wu Jianye, in his It seems that it is not a small ant, you can crush it however you want!
"Mr. Weinstein, first of all, I personally thank you for your friendship. At the same time, I will truthfully report your contribution to China!"

"but."

Weinstein looked troubled.

Sun Jiarui's expression tightened. At this moment, Weinstein was his biggest trump card, and he quickly asked, "Mr. Weinstein, do you have any concerns?"

Weinstein said in embarrassment: "Sun, you also know that I am here on behalf of Miramax Films. Our company is very fond of the copyright of Wu Jianye's novels. Those who issue a military order will definitely be able to win the copyright of the novel, but of course my own personal gains and losses do not matter in this situation, but if I lose my power in the company because I have not completed the tasks assigned by the company, at that time, In the company I work for, it's not certain whether they will like Huaxia's movies!"

After Sun Jiarui listened to it, he immediately became nervous, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Weinstein, please don't worry, I will definitely ask you for the copyright of that novel. Regarding this matter, when I return to China, I will immediately It was reported, and when the high-level executives speak, Wu Jianye has to give it even if he doesn't want to!"

"Haha, then I'll thank Sun first!" Weinstein clinked glasses with Sun Jiarui, substituting coffee for wine, "Sun, all my friends call me Harvey!"

"Haha, okay, Harvey, I wish us a happy cooperation!"

Zhou Qiang was not with Sun Jiarui and Harvey Weinstein, but went to see Wu Jianye.

Seeing Zhou Qiang's arrival, Tian Zhuangzhuang didn't say anything, leaving room for the two to talk.

Looking at the silent Wu Jianye, Zhou Qiang felt a little helpless in his heart. He also blamed himself for this matter, but in fact, he can't blame him. The current domestic environment is like this. As Tian Zhuangzhuang said, a director can only In charge of everything during the filming of this film.

After the filming is over, it really has nothing to do with the director. In the eyes of many people, Wu Jianye's temper tantrum is actually meaningless.

Before Zhou Qiang opened his mouth, Wu Jianye took the lead and said: "Captain Zhou, there is no need to say anything, I know how to do it!"

"Oh..." Zhou Qiang sighed and said nothing.

As night fell, Tian Zhuangzhuang did not return to the room, but spent the night in Zhao Fei and Wang Honghai's room, leaving Wu Jianye a time to calm down alone.

Looking at the watch on his wrist, it was already past three o'clock in the morning.

Wu Jianye got up and called Yanjing. He just wanted to hear some people's voices.

"Hey!"

The time difference between Venice and Yanjing was nearly six hours. At this time, it was already past nine o'clock in the morning in Yanjing, and Zhu Yan also arrived at Yanjing Film Studio early. He was just rehearsing a play when he heard someone calling for him.

"What are you doing?" Wu Jianye's voice was a little low.

Zhu Zhu immediately heard the loss in Wu Jianye's voice: "What's the matter, it should be past three o'clock in the morning on your side, why haven't you rested yet?"

Wu Jian Yeqiang smiled and said: "It's okay, I just miss you suddenly and want to hear your voice!"

Zhu Zhu looked at the phone in her hand worriedly. She knew that Wu Jianye must be in a very bad mood now, but she obediently didn't ask Wu Jianye why he was in such a sudden state.

"I miss you too!"

"Well, I knew you were thinking of me, how about it, do we have a good understanding like this!" Wu Jianye felt that his mood improved a lot.

"Forget it, is it too tired in Venice? If you are tired, take a rest, don't damage your body!" Zhu Zhuan warned.

"It's okay, it's much better!" Wu Jianye said with a smile.

"By the way, I had a dream last night." Zhu Zhuo said.

"What dream?"

"I dreamed that we were all old. At that time, you were the old man who needed crutches, and I was the old lady who supported you. At that time, the two of us sat on the recliner, surrounded by children, and told stories about our youth! "Zhu Zhuan's voice revealed a trace of happiness.

Wu Jianye felt a ray of sunshine suddenly appear in the abyss.

You and I are in our twilight years, sitting in the garden

Yun Juan Yun Shu Listening to the Rain

star dense star rare moon shadow

Flowers Blooming and Memories of Jiangnan

You talk about the past, I draw the past

Hope there are years to look back

And have been deeply in love

"When I get back to China, I'll take you on a trip!" Wu Jianye said.

"Ok!"
