Demons Beside You (The Demons Beside Me)

Fraudulent production costs are the most basic method.

It originally cost only $100,000 to lease a machine, but they raised the rental fee to $1 million.

There are too many loopholes here.

Another example is to negotiate with the issuer, that is, to make a yin and yang contract.

Specializing in trapping outsiders like Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao, as a second-tier dealer this time, has certain risks.

If there is not enough profit, why get involved?

Although Chen Zhao is rich, Chen Zhao will not be troubled by money.

"This matter is not something I can decide alone." Mark Bonin said helplessly.

"Then let's discuss it and notify my lawyer when we get the result." Chen Zhao said disapprovingly.

Anyway, Chen Zhao is not in a hurry, DSN Film Company is more anxious than Chen Zhao.

The money used by Chen Zhao to buy the movie rights was all his own.

But the money of DSN Film Company belongs to the major shareholders.

Even the COE of DSN Film Company cannot just wave his hand and say that the copyright is no longer needed, and then throw money down the drain.

If they do this, they will only be sprayed to death by shareholders.

The trouble with listed companies is that their decisions are often influenced by a group of people.

This group of people may not necessarily determine the future of the company, but they can determine the future of the COE.

The problem facing DSN Film Company now is to either spend money to buy the copyright from Chen Zhao.

Or let 50% of the copyright of "Thief" fall into your own hands.

Based on the box office performance of the previous film in the "Thief" series, as well as the surrounding performance.

After all, not every movie makes $300 million.

Even any one of the Big Six companies may not have a profitability of US$300 million a year.

The shareholders will never allow the copyright of "The Thief" to be thrown away, not to mention that US$30 million has been invested in advance filming preparations.

Especially the shareholders know that Chen Zhao not only holds 50% of the copyright of the "Thief" series, but also the agreement between Nafa Tang En and him.

The value of this agreement is not low, and Chen Zhao does not intend to transfer this agreement.

You must know that for a movie star of Nafa Twain's level, his salary is 2+1, or even 2+2.

The so-called 2+1 is 20 million US dollars, plus 10% of the box office share. This is the salary of a top star.

Nafa Twain may not be the top star yet, but he is the soul character of the "Thief" series.

Therefore, the film company will never replace him unless it is absolutely necessary.

Replacing the protagonist is a taboo in Hollywood.

The DSN company persisted for two days before finally relenting and accepting the copyright deal.

US$660 million to buy 50% of the rights to "Thief", plus the agreement.

In fact, if DSN Film Company were not too greedy, they would have killed Fa Twain.

Nafa Tang En will not sell the copyright to Chen Zhao.

Speaking of which, it was their own fault.

US$700 million, now US$660 million has been repaid.

Chen Zhao also holds the rights to "The Extraordinary Life" and several other smaller films.

Although DSN is still coveting "The Extraordinary Life", they really can't come up with more cash to purchase the film rights of this series, so they can only shelve it for the time being.

Originally, Chen Zhao was planning to borrow money from the bank, but now there is no need to borrow money.

Even if DSN doesn't want it, Chen Zhao can sell it to other companies.

No matter how you sell it, you won’t lose money anyway.

It is said that money can make money. At this moment, Chen Zhao clearly felt how easy it is for rich people to make money.

Of course, Chen Zhao also has risks.

After all, if DSN Film Company is tougher, then Chen Zhao will have nothing to do.

This is actually a psychological game process.

See who can outlast whom.

Chen Zhao's pressure is the bank's loan interest, and the longer the delay, the lower the value of the copyright.

The pressure on DSN Film Company comes from internal shareholders.

Chen Zhao won this round, but it cannot be said that DSN Film Company lost.

The only real loser is Nafa Tang En.

However, Nafa Tang En committed suicide by committing suicide.

The biggest gain for Chen Zhao is that he already holds all the shares in Marina Restaurant.

…

Wenke Qiege was standing in the center of an ancient hall at the moment.

There are three stone chairs above the wall of the main hall, and three old people are sitting on each of the three stone chairs.

"Wenke Zig, you have disappointed me so much. Because of your recklessness, we have directly lost sixty men, including twelve psychics."

The old man sitting on the stone chair in the middle looked directly at Wenke Qieg with a heavy pressure and a burning gaze.

These three old men are the three elders of the Hunter Guild and the leaders of their respective factions.

These three elders are named after the Hermit, Judgment and Wheel of Fortune respectively in the Tarot cards.

Every faction has its own power struggle, and so does the Hunter Guild.

The two factions, Judgment and Wheel of Fortune, are clearly at war with each other, and the Hermit is neutral.

Wenke Qige is a member of the Judgment Faction and a student of the Judgment Elder.

The person who questioned and put pressure on her was the elder of Wheel of Fortune, whose intention was of course to suppress Wenke Sieg, and then also suppress the Judgment Faction.

This time Wenqi Qiege led a team to encircle and suppress the ghost ship Turin, causing huge losses.

It also gave the elders of Wheel of Fortune a chance to put pressure.

"Do you have anything else to defend? My child." At this time, the hermit elder asked.

Her tone was gentle, as if she was questioning, but also as if she was relieving Wenke Qiege's pressure.

"I have no excuse." Wenke Qiege said.

"In that case, you should accept the trial of the Guild, are you right, Torturer?" Elder Wheel of Fortune looked at Elder Judgment.

The Judgment Elder is in charge of the judgment and punishment within the Hunter Guild. The Wheel of Fortune Elder wants the Judgment Elder to personally punish his students.

At this time, the elder judge opened his eyes silently.

He saw the proud look in Wenke Ziege's eyes, and it seemed that his student had not yet surrendered.

"Three elders, I hope to be able to make meritorious deeds."

"Huh? How do you plan to redeem yourself and make meritorious deeds?" the trial elder asked.

"I hope to complete the three tasks issued by the Scarlet Church."

"Do you want to lead more people to die?" Elder Wheel of Fortune sneered.

"No, it's just me."

"You have failed with so many people, and now you say you are alone? Are you sure you are not teasing us?"

"If I fail, then let me die outside." Wenke Qiege said.

The three elders all looked surprised. The trial elder looked at his beloved disciple: "Wen Ke, are you sure you want to do this?"

"Yes, Elder Judgment, just like Elder Wheel of Fortune said, I need to be responsible for my actions."
