311 [Refused to cooperate]
Seeing Ye Jin say this, Cai Yongchang was stunned.
In his eyes, Twentieth Century Fox is one of the six major Hollywood giants, and is as high as a god.
Such a big company is simply Jiahe, no, it is the honor of all Hong Kong filmmakers. To be honest, when he learned that the two came from Twentieth Century Fox, he shivered with excitement.
But now seeing Ye Jin taking it so indifferently, he simply regarded the 20th Century Fox as nothing, which made Cai Yongchang feel a little unacceptable.
"Mr. Ye, that's the 20th Century Fox Company! You'd better go and meet them." Cai Yongchang immediately advised.
"I said that they want to see me, not I want to see them." Ye Jin waved his hand and said, "If they want to see me, let them come to the crew to see me. Otherwise, let them go wherever they come from."
Since the box office of "Dragon Hard Boy" and "Ghost Street" have become a favorite in Hollywood.
Many film companies want to cooperate with him, either want to acquire his scripts, want to invest in his projects, or want to release his movies... There are many of them, including the six Hollywood giants.
For example, Paramount is very interested in "Rocky" invested by Ye Jinxin and wants to release this movie; Universal Pictures is very interested in the sequel to "Ghost Street" and hopes to buy its sequel development rights; Disney Pictures is very interested in "Dragon Wild Boy" and hopes to cooperate with Ye Jin in the second part...
However, these giants may be used to being giants. Even if they ask Ye Jin for help and hope to cooperate with him and make a fortune together, they still cannot get rid of their arrogance mentality in their bones.
Paramount wanted to release "Rocky", but he was only willing to share the box office for 42%. He also advised Ye Jin to agree, "There is no more generous company in Hollywood than us."
Disney Pictures wants to work with Ye Jin on the sequel to "Dragon Hard Boy", but also put forward many opinions on the story of the sequel, "We hope to reduce violence, and have more singing and dancing, and love elements."
For their actions like this, Ye Jin only used his middle finger.
The first time he worked with Warner Pictures, he was willing to suffer because he had no foundation and no way, just to seek a way to Hollywood.
Now is different from the past. He has gained a foothold in Hollywood, and it is difficult for him to suffer in vain.
Therefore, now facing the 20th Century Fox Company, Ye Jin also needs to put on airs moderately to avoid bullying himself and continue to offer those strange cooperation conditions.
...
Cai Yongchang was angry when he saw Ye Jin say this, but he knew that he could not surrender Ye Jin at all.
Ye Jin is now much higher than his fame, status, and wealth. Continuing to cooperate with Jiahe is also due to the past face. Otherwise, he can terminate the contract in every minute.
Since this is the case, he naturally can't show off his power in front of Ye Jin.
"Okay, then I'll go back and tell them." Cai Yongchang nodded helplessly and hurried back.
"Mr. Ye, you are so awesome. You dare not give face to Twentieth Century Fox Company?!" Xiao Fangfang looked at Ye Jin with surprise.
In 1972, she went to study in America and stayed there for two years, so she had some knowledge of Hollywood. She knew that Twentieth Century Fox was a Hollywood giant, comparable to Disney, Universal, Warner, Paramount and others.
I don’t know how many Hong Kong filmmakers dream of such a giant company and are eager to cooperate with it. If it were a second person, I learned that the 20th Century Fox was looking for it, I was afraid that the shoes would not even be worn before I could wear them.
But he didn't expect Ye Jin to be so calm and didn't give them face at all. Instead, he asked the representative of 20th Century Fox to come to visit him. This is really proud.
"Tolerance is great, no desire is strong." Ye Jin smiled, "Now they have something to ask for me, not me have something to ask for them. Of course I can be more arrogant.
Moreover, Sister Fangfang is right to be a little proud when dealing with them. Otherwise, if she looks down on herself, she will look down on herself even more.”
"Well, it makes sense." Xiao Fangfang nodded in agreement when he heard this.
When she went to America to study, she was also discriminated against. However, she did not surrender, but worked hard, but ended up winning respect through her own efforts.
"Mr. Ye, guess what 20th Century Fox is asking you for?" He Lili asked curiously. She had not cooperated with those Hollywood companies.
"Either buy scripts, invest in movie projects, or want to release my movies, or have a movie that wants me to act..." Ye Jin calculated with his fingers, "It should be inseparable from these items."
He Lili and Xiao Fangfang laughed as he heard what he said.
...
A moment later, two foreigners came to the crew of "Fang Shiyu" under the leadership of Jia and other senior officials such as Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang, Cai Yongchang and others.
"Mr. Ye, let me introduce it to you. This is Mr. Sean Goodman, the representative of 20th Century Fox, and this is Mr. David Carson, the representative of Lucasfilm." Zou Wenhuai introduced.
When Ye Jin heard this, he was stunned.
Lucasfilm is the film company founded by George Lucas, and George Lucas is also the director and producer of the movie "Star Wars".
Now Lucasfilm is coming to find itself, probably because it is related to "Star Wars".
Ye Jin guessed in his heart, with a silent expression on his face, and smiled and shook hands with Sean Goodman and David Carson, "Hello, hello."
"A Jin, let's find a place to sit down and talk." Zou Wenhuai said with a smile.
Ye Jin nodded, "Then please sit inside."
"Fang Shiyu" is a costume drama, and Jiahe's Fushan Road set also has an antique building complex. Although it is not as big as Xiao's Cinema, it covers an area of thousands of square meters.
Now "Fang Shiyu" is filmed in the antique building complex. Although these antique buildings cannot really live in people, it is still okay to sit for a few people.
After everyone entered the room and sat down, Ye Jin looked at Sean Goodman, "Mr. Goodman, I wonder what you are doing to me?"
"Oh, our company found Mr. Ye in WGA that you have a script called "Starcraft". The story is very good, so we want to buy it for shooting." Sean Goodman explained.
Ye Jin nodded, "So that's the case. But, sorry Mr. Goodman, I'm not going to sell this script."
"Mr. Ye, we can give you a very good price. $200,000, how about it?" Sean Goodman smiled.
After hearing what he said, Zou Wenhuai, He Guanchang and others were shocked. A script of $200,000 is not a small amount.
"Mr. Goodman, do you think I am short of the 200,000 US dollars?" Ye Jin smiled slightly.
"Then what conditions do you need to agree to sell the script?" Goodman was stunned and asked.
With the success of "Dragon Hard Boy" and "Ghost Street", Ye Jin is indeed not short of the 200,000 US dollars.
"I will not agree to any conditions." Ye Jin refused, "I am very confident in this script and I will make a movie myself."
After hearing what he said, Sean Goodman and David Carson suddenly froze.
