Dinner seating area.

Sun Yi and John were sitting and chatting.

Liu Yifei walked in carrying a small tray.

Fortunately, the organizers had considered that some people would talk about some relatively private matters or cooperation matters during the break, so half of the entire rest area was filled with small card bags separated by screens, making it very private.

Otherwise, people will be shocked when they see the fairy sister actually playing a guest role as a waiter, and it might make the headlines tomorrow.

"Shocked, the famous actress was forced to serve the dishes, and he was the mastermind behind the scenes!!!"

Well, they are all behind it.

Speaking of this, Sun Yi was a little unjust. It was really not him who ordered his girlfriend. Originally, he was planning to come here with John to talk about copyright in detail. He thought that his English skills were average, and John's Chinese was sometimes a bit confusing. It was just right. His girlfriend could help translate. Unexpectedly, she got up and left shortly after sitting down. Only then did Sun Yi realize that she had gone to get drinks for him and John.

It's so considerate. Needless to say, my girlfriend is becoming more and more like a good wife.

It should be praised.

Liu Yifei first smiled and handed John a glass of whiskey with ice cubes. The latter raised the glass to thank her.

"Thank you, my beautiful lady."

"You're welcome."

It was my brother's turn, so of course he also had a drink.

But why is it green?
Sun Yi looked at the cup in his hand in confusion, and then looked at his girlfriend with a puzzled expression.

Liu Yifei had no intention of explaining. Instead, she raised the corners of her mouth, walked around to the other side of the sofa, and sat down next to Sun Yi. Then she took out a straw, inserted it, turned to look at Sun Yi, and smiled. Regardless of Sun Yi's reaction, "Zi Liu" "Zi Liu" drank it himself.

Sun Yi tentatively picked up the cup and took a small sip.

"hiss"

A little sour and a little sweet.

Very good, green apple flavor
Suddenly I felt a little regretful, could I replace my virtuous housewife with a housekeeper?

Juice is juice. This is because my girlfriend wants to keep a clear head during the negotiation and should be praised.

"Tell me, what happened? Why did you suddenly think of me buying the copyright?"

"Oh, my dear friend."

"Stop it and be normal."

Sun Yi quickly stopped John. The way this guy spoke was so awkward and awkward. You said you were an out-and-out American philistine businessman, pretending to be a British aristocrat.

John shrugged, a little helpless.

"Well, well, I'm learning how to be a gentleman these days."

"I don't care about whether you can be a gentleman now. I only care about which movie rights you want to buy and how much money you are prepared to pay."

"Haha, Sun, you are becoming more and more like a businessman."

Sun Yi curled his lips and sneered.

"Each each other."

"Well, I came to China this time just to buy movies. Your college student film festival is very good, but unfortunately, after a few days, I was not surprised at all. On the contrary, I was impressed by your previous film " "Fake Marriage" is very interesting."

Sun Yi immediately thought this was it. You must know that the original work is a Hollywood movie. Although he made some localized adaptations, the structure of the entire script is still the classic Hollywood three-part structure.

However, as long as you follow the general direction of the script, find a screenwriter and make some American adjustments, you can shoot it directly, which is extremely trouble-free.

"Okay, let's talk about the price." "Oh, Sun, you are so straightforward. You are completely unlike the Chinese people I have interacted with before."

"It saves everyone's time and doesn't affect our relationship, right?"

"Haha, ok, ok, we are old friends, how about $100 million?"

"My old friend only has this price, $500 million."

"No, no, no, this price is too outrageous, 200 million, this is my best effort."

To be honest, Sun Yi was a little moved by this price. According to the current exchange rate, it was nearly 1400 million. The copyright of "Infernal Affairs", which was very popular back then, was only worth 180 million US dollars.

But then I thought about how this movie had a box office of over 4000 million when it was released in the United States in its previous life. Calculating this way, the producer could earn at least [-] to [-] million.

He was a little unwilling and had to try again no matter what.

"400."

"Oh, come, Sun, we are friends, this price is too outrageous, 250 million, no more."

Sun Yi shook his head calmly. Although he didn't feel too low, he didn't mind taking a gamble.

"It's too low and I can't agree to it."

John stared closely into Sun Yi's eyes for several seconds. Seeing Sun Yi's extremely determined eyes, he finally got discouraged. He shook his head helplessly and raised three fingers towards Sun Yi.

"$300 million, it is the last!"

The bet was won, and the actor's sense of belief is really a high-end skill.

Sun Yi thought for a while and felt that the price should be about the same. Although he knew the future box office of this film in the United States, Huaxia Film sold the copyright to Hollywood and could not sell it at a high price.

Not to mention, he has no international reputation.

"Okay, deal, but I want to know if you really have the authority to pay this price. I hope to settle it at once."

Although he had a successful cooperation with John before, he had heard about many tricks of American film and television companies acquiring copyrights.

And when he was in Cannes last year, John was far less handsome than he is today in suits and ties. He was a small film buyer. Generally speaking, one million US dollars was a huge limit to his authority, and he had to ask for permission no matter how much he got.

So he has to be more careful.

Hearing this, John smiled and shook his head, straightened his suit, took out a gilt business card and handed it to Sun Yi.

"It seems that we need to get to know each other again, my Mr. Best Director."

Sun Yi took the business card and looked at it. It was good, and it even had a Chinese translation.

"Touchstone Pictures, Asia Distribution Director, John Joe."

"Pleasant to work with"

The two shook hands for the third time.

In just 20 minutes, a deal worth US$300 million was negotiated, which was still a bit shocking to Liu Yifei.

She has lived in the United States. Although the United States is currently much wealthier than China, it is still difficult to make money. US$300 million is definitely a big number nowadays.

So far, the highest salary she has received is US$230 million for "The King of Kung Fu". This is the number for external publicity. In fact, it is only 100 million. Even so, she filmed in many places for several months, back and forth between China and the United States. I earn it by running around promoting and working hard.

She was looking at Sun Yi now, with stars in her eyes, wishing she could give her brother another grape-flavored one.
