Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 272 Filming is worse than selling copyright

The first time I met Alan Ryder Jr. was in his office.

Besides little Alan Ryder, there was another person in the office.

"This is Chairman Alan Ryder, and this is Mr. Landry, the head of Fox's distribution department."

After Lewan brought Lin Daoqiu into the office, he introduced their identities to him.

Lin Daoqiu nodded to the two with a smile as a greeting, and then walked to the opposite side of little Alan Ryder and sat down.

Although they had been mentally prepared before, when Alan Ryder Jr. and Landry saw Lin Daoqiu, they couldn't help showing surprised expressions.

Even in a decent suit, Lin Daoqiu looked too young.

If Lin Daoqiu's information had not been collected before, these two guys would think that the young man who appeared in front of him must be a liar.

Obviously it was Alan Ryder who invited Lin Daoqiu over, but when the other party sat in front of him, Alan Ryder was so surprised that he forgot to speak.

In the end, it was Lin Daoqiu who took the initiative to speak and broke the calm of the scene.

"Chairman Alan, you asked me to come here, do you know what's the matter?"

Hearing Lin Daoqiu's question, little Alan Ryder came back to his senses.

At Lin Daoqiu's age, it can be said that almost all of them are just college students.

Let alone making a movie, they don't even know how the movie is made.

Lin Daoqiu is only 19 years old and has already made many blockbuster movies. It can be said that this guy is simply a genius.

And what makes Alan Ryder even more incredible is that the other party is not yet 20 years old, which is really too scary.

"I heard that you and Ashley fell apart?"

Little Alan Ryder doesn't like to beat around the bush, he prefers a more direct way of communication.

At that time, Lucas looked for people to invest in "Star Wars", but no one was willing to invest in him.

I have to say that Lucas was really lucky. When he found Alan Ryder Jr., the other party agreed to invest in him.

And the reason given by Alan Ryder Jr. is also very strange.

"I have absolutely no idea what you're saying, but I think you're a genius."

It seems like a very willful sentence, but precisely because of this sentence of Alan Ryder Jr., a legendary movie was born.

And Lin Daoqiu also likes the direct style of Alan Ryder Jr.

"To be precise, I wanted a Mission: Impossible sequel to be [-]/[-], but Ashley said no."

Lin Daoqiu knew very well that this must be the news deliberately released by people around Ashley.

But the person who released the news would definitely not be Ashley, because it would not be good for him.

It seems that someone in Warner wants to drive him out, or he is unwilling to let him continue to cooperate with Ashley.

"I can tell you that no Hollywood company will agree to your request, including ours."

After Little Alan Ryder finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu did not show any surprise or surprise expression.

He looked as if he took it for granted, and he smiled and nodded when little Alan Ryder finished speaking.

"Actually, the chairman and I admire Mr. Lin very much. It's impossible to split evenly, but we can give you [-]%. If Mr. Lin is willing to join Fox, then you will get unprecedented support."

Rather than cooperating with Lin Daoqiu, it is better to recruit him into Fox, which is the best way for Fox.

Unfortunately, Lin Daoqiu never thought of joining any Hollywood company, so Landry's words were meaningless.

"If this is Chairman Alan's final decision, then all I can say is that I'm sorry."

Lin Daoqiu shrugged regretfully at the other party.

"Mr. Lin, don't reject us in such a hurry. Maybe you can think about it for a while, and then you will believe that the price we offer you is definitely the highest."

This sentence is obviously nonsense. As long as the box office of "Mission Impossible" continues to rise, some people may not be able to help but want to talk to Lin Daoqiu.

So now the time is on Lin Daoqiu's side, and Landry and Alan Ryder just want to fool Lin Daoqiu to see if they can fool him.

"I'm sorry, both of you, I won't agree to this condition, but since you two are so sincere to talk to me, then I will give in, [-]%."

Lin Daoqiu stretched out four fingers towards Alan Ryder.

Although Alan Ryder looked expressionless, Lin Daoqiu's concession actually made him very happy.

After all, it is best to have something to talk about. What he worries most is that Lin Daoqiu will be too stubborn to talk, so it may be very difficult to cooperate with him.

"No, [-]% is still too much, [-]% is our final bottom line, and this will not change."

Alan Ryder shook his head, the one who persisted this time has been replaced by him.

He felt that Lin Daoqiu was still young after all. If it was him, he would definitely insist on a [-]/[-] split, and then he would give in when the other party mentioned [-]%.

The hope of such a negotiation is definitely much greater than it is now, but unfortunately, Lin Daoqiu's negotiation experience is far from enough.

"Since this is the case, then I have nothing to say, unless you are willing to bear all the filming funds."

Lin Daoqiu's attitude was also very firm, if it was only [-]%, he would never agree.

"No no no Mr. Lin, if we need to bear all the filming funds, then we can only give you [-]% of the share."

Alan Ryder is not stupid, God knows how much Lin Daoqiu needs to make a movie.

Moreover, Fox has to be responsible for distribution and publicity in the follow-up. Under such circumstances, it can only get [-]% of the share, unless Alan Ryder's brain is rusted.

"If this is the case, there is nothing to talk about. I am very happy to meet you two and hope to have tea together next time."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he stood up, and it seemed that he was planning to leave.

But at this time Landry suddenly opened his mouth to keep Lin Daoqiu.

"Mr. Lin, maybe we can change the way of cooperation."

Lin Daoqiu and Alan Ryder turned their heads to Landry almost at the same time.

"I think "Mission Impossible" is very suitable for Hollywood style. If Mr. Lin is willing, you can sell us the copyright of this movie."

Landry's implication was that since Lin Daoqiu was unwilling to cooperate, and the share could not be negotiated, he simply sold the copyright of the film to Fox.

Lin Daoqiu hadn't thought about this possibility before, because the show was so profitable, selling it at this time would be something only an idiot could do.

But Landry's proposal moved his heart. After all, it takes too long to make a movie. If he can get a large sum of money immediately, Lin Daoqiu will seriously consider the other party's proposal.

"I don't know how much Fox is willing to pay for the copyright of my movie?"
