I Really Didn’t Want to Be Famous

Cumbria and Palmer have always been in a competitive relationship.

Among the Hollywood movies in May, "Night of God of War" is from Pymon, and "The Dark Legion" is from Cumbria.

Judging from the current China box office, Gambia is actually at a disadvantage, but from the Hollywood box office, Gambia has the upper hand.

Global box office?

Well, one has a total box office of 50 million, and the other has a box office of 49 million and a half million. It is almost the same.

In other words, it's really hard to tell who wins.

So, when James knew that John had also come to grab this "Groundhog Day", he began to fight secretly.

He wanted to obtain an overseas license for this "Groundhog Day" originally because of the profitability of this movie, and added a little face problem.

He felt that he could not lose.

John is also similar to James.

The last "Maddy Alien" made him scolded badly. This time he wanted to wash away his impression of being on the side of the upper-level leadership, and he also had the mentality that he could not lose.

When the overseas license of a movie is cut into a competitive meaning, then the taste begins to change.

Of course, the two started to fight in private, but the expression on their faces still looked like everyone was a good friend.

After all, not long after getting off the car, countless reporters surrounded them.

"Director James...Excuse me, what did you come to China for this time?"

"Mr. John... Did you come with Mr. James? What are you doing here in China?"

"Hello Director James, are you here to prepare a new movie in China? I heard that your "California Night" is expected to be released in June? I don't know if it is true..."

"Hello, Mr. John, is it true that there are rumors that you and your wife have a bad relationship?"

"..."

The camera's lights kept flickering.

Countless microphones were handed to their mouths.

The faces of countless reporters were full of excitement.

There were smiles on both faces facing these shots.

"I'm not here to make a movie in China, but I made a special trip to visit my old friend Lu Yuan. At the same time, we sent Meng very interested in Lu Yuan's "The Day of the Groundhog", so I came to talk today. The overseas distribution rights of this movie..."

"I also came to visit Mr. Lu Yuan especially. My purpose is the same as Mr. James. It is also for the overseas distribution rights of "Groundhog Day". I missed the "This Man From Earth" last time. It’s a pity, so I don’t want to miss it again this time..."

The answers of the two are exactly the same...

But all the reporters heard a hint of gunpowder and explosions!

Yes!

Hollywood actually took a fancy to Lu Yuan's "The Day of the Groundhog"!

What does that mean?

Explains that Huaxia finally has a movie recognized by Hollywood and has been scrambled?

All reporters' eyes lit up at the same time, and they were instantly excited!

This Lu Yuan is awesome!

………………………………

"How about, has the overseas copyright gone out?"

"Director Shen, what Palmon means is that the overseas price of this movie needs to be lowered..."

"How much do they want to press?"

"One million dollars."

"Only one million dollars..."

"Director Shen, there is no way. Since the "Maddy Aliens" hit the overseas box office, it is getting harder and harder for China Movies to go overseas. Even if they go out, they won’t have more than three million dollars. The high price."

"My film may not be very good at the box office in China, but it will not be bad at the overseas box office. After all, the content in "Alien Age" is interstellar science fiction, and I think the plot is not bad... I think it is necessary to follow Let's negotiate over there..."

"Guide Shen, saying these are useless."

"Why is it useless?"

"These old Americans only look at box office performance and previous results. In the past two years, our overseas films have almost been wiped out. We really don't have the capital to talk to them now..."

"But one million dollars is too low!"

"Director Shen, we have to endure it. As long as this movie is popular overseas, don’t you say it? Well, as long as we can create the corresponding value and let Pimon make some money, then our next movie There is a chance to mention the buyout price..."

"Hey... it can only be so."

"..."

At noon, Shen Lianjie hung up the phone of the overseas person in charge and silently sat in a chair and looked into the distance.

"Era of Alien" has been officially painted today.

This movie made Shen Lianjie a little suspicious of life.

The box office of more than 10 million on the premiere day made Shen Lianjie very excited, and he even imagined that the movie's box office could exceed 300 million...

unfortunately……

It's the **** **** again, and the box office has been declining. Although it is a little longer than the previous two movies, it is still a tragic movie that was painted earlier...

The total box office of this movie in China just broke 80 million.

With an investment of 50 million and a box office of 80 million, the result is really...

Pounced again.

He is still being scolded on the Internet, and even if this continues, he feels that he will be scolded by fans as the king of bad movies.

Word of mouth box office Shuangpu Street made him officially autistic.

Under such circumstances, Shen Lianjie began to focus on the overseas box office. If the overseas box office can explode, then this movie can be saved...

but.

Overseas was told that the buyout price of this movie was very low, only one million...

What can a million dollars do?

Can you buy the villa written by Sun Peng in Yanjing?

Can't...

"Ding Dong."

Just when Shen Lianjie sat in a chair and didn't know what expression to use to describe his emotions at the moment, he heard the computer "dingdong".

Then he saw a pop-up news.

"Surprise! Director James and John came to China for..."

Writer of sensational headlines!

These unscrupulous reporters!

Although Shen Lianjie thought so in his heart, he still started the news honestly.

After all, James is a Hollywood director, and he is definitely a heavyweight director. He definitely has something important to come to China.

Maybe it's coming to China to make a new film?

After clicking on the news, a video jumped out. After Shen Lianjie saw the content on the video, the expression he had expected changed instantly.

"I'm here this time on behalf of our Paramount company. I feel sorry for the misunderstanding caused by the last movie "This Man Comes From Earth"..."

"This time, I'm very sincere...In terms of the buyout price of the overseas issuance rights, we will definitely be generous, and the company allows Mr. Lu a certain share..."

The voices of James and John echoed in Shen Lianjie's ears.

Shen Lianjie's chest continued to rise and fall, and at the same time his face gradually became flushed, as if he was slapped severely.

When I was worrying about the price of overseas distribution rights, Lu Yuan's overseas distribution rights turned out to be...

Was scrambled?

this moment……

Shen Lianjie closed his eyes.

At this moment, thousands of grass and mud horses can hardly describe his mood at this moment.

……………………

When James and John came to Luyuan Company, they were shocked by the size of Luyuan's company!

Yes, shocked.

They have never seen such a small company.

Can this be considered an entertainment company?

This……

This entire company is not as good as a department of their company!

They told the bodyguards and their assistants around them to stand outside not to enter.

They feel that if all their bodyguards go in, the house is afraid it will become very crowded.

"Two gentlemen, please..."

Wu Tingting politely led the two to the meeting room.

In the meeting room, Lu Yuan was already waiting there.

"Mr. James, Mr. John, good afternoon..."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Lu..."

"Hello there……"

"Mr. Lu Yuan, I actually only have one purpose in coming this time, and that is to get the overseas distribution rights of "Groundhog Day". Our company can give you certain overseas rights..."

"Mr. Lu Yuan, our company is the same. I believe you should know the strength of our Cumbria..."

After the three people exchanged greetings, James took the lead to say his intentions. Lu Yuan didn't reply after he finished speaking. John also said his purpose in an instant.

"..."

Wu Tingting wanted to translate, but was stopped by Lu Yuan.

He wants to exercise his speaking ability.

He feels that his English has improved a lot recently. Although he can't understand the details, he still understands the meaning.

So, he opened his mouth, organized his language, and exhaled deeply.

"I'm very happy two...two people...can...like...movie mine...happy I am...actually...I..."

After hearing Lu Yuan's words, the two of them looked at a loss...

The air is suddenly quiet...

Lu Yuan's look of expectation was suddenly embarrassed...

"Mr. Lu, let me translate your words..."

"it is good……"

When James and the two listened to Wu Tingting's translation, they finally felt a little surprised.

It turned out that he meant to refuse.

The two looked at each other...

The two sides felt a hint of gunpowder.

"Mr. Lu Yuan, you should listen to our terms first before rejecting it... You should know our company, our company is one of the seven largest companies in Hollywood, our company..." At this moment, John immediately began to introduce With his own company.

"Our Pimeng company is not bad, and our strength is obvious to all. At the same time, we..." Halfway through John's speech, James also started...

"..."

"..."

Five million dollars, six million dollars...

Five percent divided, six percent divided...

After hearing this number in the two populations, Lu Yuan felt that he saw money beckoning to him.

He thought he was not greedy for money and would not be tempted by money...

but……

He found himself wrong.

Although he has hundreds of millions of RMB, even though he himself feels that he is really not a greedy person.

but……

He still couldn't resist the golden appearance.

His heart was beating pounding and pounding.

He is calm on the surface, but deep in his heart is already surging, and heaven and man are at war.

or……

Directly sold?

No, I can’t sell it. After all, I also have my own company in Hollywood!

But, what if this movie does not make money in overseas markets? Who can guarantee that their films will be able to make money in overseas markets, and they will become popular? Can the miracle of "This Man Comes From Earth" happen again? What if you lose money?

Perhaps the most conservative way is to sell them directly, anyway, you will not lose money first.

but……

Lu Yuan found himself very tangled.

at last……

"Sorry... Two people, I have already sold the overseas license of this movie to Brother Huaxin, sorry..."

"Sorry, I can't disclose the specific figures, anyway, I'm sorry..."

"Two, Wu Tingting, you can help them to book a hotel..."

"..."

It takes courage to refuse.

Lu Yuan offered courage and rejected the two.

After the refusal, although he showed apology and showed no other gestures, in fact he felt that his body had been hollowed out.

He saw the golden money leaving before his eyes...

I am not a greedy person!

I'm not! Never been!

He tried to remind himself that he wanted to let go of these messy thoughts.

but……

No use!

"Mr. Lu Yuan, I think we can still chat, in fact I think..."

"Yes, the company of Huaxin Brothers is too small. I know you pay more attention to love, but this "Groundhog Day" is also your work, isn't it? You don't want your work to be so bad, do you?"

"..."

"Sorry, sorry..."

Lu Yuan shook his head and looked out the window.

"..."

………………………………

James and John left the office...

Both of them felt like Lu Yuan had taken the wrong medicine.

What's the matter with this person?

Regardless of whether it is authorized to Palmer or Cumbria, everyone is fine, and at best, it's just a bit uncomfortable.

but……

No matter how they persuaded Lu Yuan, how they discussed various benefits with Lu Yuan, Lu Yuan insisted on disagreeing and refused.

Isn't this the wrong medicine?

Is it better to work with a powerful company than with such a small company?

They shook their heads.

Just when they had just walked out of the door of the company, Thomson and Downey also came.

Behind them were a group of journalists who were very excited but stopped by security.

The reporters are really excited!

Thomson, James, John...

These people have come to Lu Yuan!

It's all here!

Isn't this exciting?

However, Thomson is hopeless.

Who made him late?

But it's not right...

Looking at the faces of James and John, it seems...

Isn't it right?

Thomson was also upset after seeing the two, he thought he might be really late.

But he saw that their expressions were a bit wrong.

"Director James, Mr. John, this is..."

"Go back, Director Thomson, Mr. Lu Yuan has authorized..."

"Huh? Who was authorized?"

"Brother Huaxin..."

"Huh! Mr. James, why do I still think... Haha, you may not understand Mr. Lu Yuan, I understand... Downey, let's go in..."

"Yes."

"..."

Both Thomson and James glanced at the confident Thomson in confusion.

We don’t understand Mr. Lu Yuan?

You know?

They decided to wait for Thomson...

About twenty minutes later, they saw Thomson and Downey being sent out from the company by Wu Tingting and Lu Yuan with suspicion on their faces...

The previous confidence seems to have disappeared.

He also looked like Lu Yuan was taking the wrong medicine...

"Huh? Director James, Mr. John, are you still here?"

"Don't stand with us, or have dinner together?"

"..."

In the distance, Lu Yuan saw the two standing in the company's yard, and his eyes lit up with enthusiasm.

…………………………

Joaquin headquarters.

"what?"

"Did Lu Yuan really take the wrong medicine?"

"The Midland, Paimeng, and Cubia... were all rejected by him?"

"What am I..."

"Is this fake news?"

After hearing this news, Shen Lianjie began to doubt life...

He even felt that he and Lu Yuan were not playing the same game...
