Rebirth Enchanted Xiangjiang
Chapter 68 The Problem of Copyright
"No? Can't I buy it with money?" Qiao Feng asked, raising an eyebrow.
"I am very optimistic about its prospects. The copyright will never be sold." Annie didn't want to refuse it again.
"If the copyright doesn't belong to me, I can't invest in this movie." Qiao Feng said with a shrug.
"Excuse me, Mr. Joe, in this case, we can only find other investors." After that, Annie made a step forward.
However, she did not leave, and James Cameron did not move.
Qiao Feng didn't move, let alone to keep him, he just watched with a smile, as if watching the two leave. The reason for this is because Qiao Feng knows very well that Annie is pretending and waiting for him to stay.
This is the same as buying clothes in a shopping mall. It is a negotiation strategy. It is obviously very tempting, but because the conditions have not been negotiated, so it seems to give up and leave. If the clothes seller feels that the previous price is profitable, they will speak Stay.
Now Annie is the same. She wants Qiao Feng’s investment, but she is reluctant to pay for the copyright of the film, so she assumes that she wants to go and hints to Qiao Feng that it doesn’t matter if you don’t invest. Some people invest in it. If you look good on the film, you should hurry. Keep me.
However, Qiao Feng knows that the Terminator film is very difficult to be born. Don’t look at James Cameron. It’s almost 30 now, but he has only directed a film until now. It was last year. Piranha II reproduced. , The box office is dismal.
Moreover, he studied physics in college and dropped out of school halfway. After that, he did a lot of work including driving trucks for people. This is why he was called a truck driver.
In 1980, he got his first official job in the film industry. He served as the artistic director of the film "Challenge of the Century" directed by Roger Kao, producing special effects models.
Such a non-professional, late in the industry, and an unnamed director who made a movie and lost money, the script he wrote will be appreciated by any film company.
Didn't you look at that Bob who didn't even bother to read it just now and refused? No matter what Annie, a beautiful woman who is an acquaintance, it is useless.
Now that someone can be interested in investing, the two of them are too late to have fun, so they refuse and leave wherever they are willing.
The fact is indeed as Qiao Feng thought. After writing the script of "Terminator", Cameron began to look for a production company to sell the script. He thought that he was brilliant and the script he wrote would be recognized and even sought after.But in fact, Cameron was too whimsical. Many of the production companies he went to were rejected without seeing the person in charge. The few who met him were basically uninterested. There were only two interested film companies. I just want to buy his script. As for the directorship he wants, he still needs to shoot in accordance with his ideas. When he says it, he is despised and ridiculed. The reality of Hong Guoguo tells Cameron that there will be no one. Enabling a junior brother to direct such a science fiction film.
But God just likes to joke. Just when Cameron was so disappointed, he met Roger Coman’s colleague Gil Anne Hurd.
At this time, Jill Anne Hurd was not comparable to Cameron in terms of identity or wealth, and she was very beautiful, but it was such a woman who was so outstanding that she took a fancy to Cameron's talent.
An old acquaintance and beautiful Jill Anne Hurd has just established her own Westpac production company. When Cameron talked about the script she wrote, Annie was very interested. It happened that her company was ready to take Cameron before she had a work. The robot terminator came as a pioneering work, and after he agreed to find the investment, he would give Cameron the directorship and let him shoot according to his own ideas.
Out of gratitude, Cameron directly sold the script to Annie for a dollar, and got a promise of directorship.
However, the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny. Anne has a lot of wealth, but the amount of investment in a movie is much worse.
Yes, she is indeed richer than Cameron,
That is to say, Cameron is a pauper at this time, to show that Annie is rich.
So although Annie got the copyright of Terminator, she still had to look for production companies to invest in the same way as Cameron did before. What she is better than Cameron is that she has a lot of contacts, knows more people, and produces by various companies. You can get in.
However, this is a business talk. It is for real money to pay US dollars. No one is stupid enough to invest money in a script for a newcomer who is not a fart, let alone direct him, and even acquaintances do not work.
So one after another was rejected. Not to mention the small companies, they all went to the seven major Hollywood film companies. This is the second time for 20th Century Fox to come. The first time I didn’t see the person in charge, Bob. Today, I just broke in and caught Bob. Otherwise, Bob will not see them because of their recent reputations in the movie circle for investment rejection.
Then what happened when I broke in and saw someone, but I was still rejected.
Therefore, the sudden appearance of Qiao Feng is the last hope for the two of them now, how can they be willing to let go.
As for the copyright, think about Annie's hesitation and pause when Bob said that he wanted to buy the script, and I know why Qiao Feng made the proposal to buy the script with confidence.
The situation is better than others, and the two have no choice.
"Mr. Joe, are you really not thinking about it anymore?" Since the pretence did not achieve the goal, Annie could only pull back the long legs that stepped out and asked again.
"Miss Anne, don’t think about it. I wouldn’t invest without copyright." Speaking of this, Qiao Feng looked at James Cameron and said, "James, I know your request. I can give you full authority. You How to shoot how you want to shoot, how you want to edit and edit, everything about the movie is up to you. I am only responsible for the investment. I can take out six million dollars at any time. If it is not enough, I can add it as long as the excess is not much. "
Qiao Feng’s promise undoubtedly made James Cameron very tempted. Why did he sell the copyright to Annie for a dollar? It’s certainly not because of Annie’s beauty, but because Annie promised him the opportunity to direct. Now Qiao Feng is not only willing to invest, but also willing to let him direct the editing. Why should he hesitate?
"Anne." Cameron yelled Anne's name without saying a word, but his eyes had already expressed his meaning very clearly, "Promise it, agree it quickly."
"But..." Annie understood Cameron's meaning, but she was a little reluctant. She was very tempted by Bob's proposal to buy the script just now. That was because Bob was unwilling to invest. If the script bought for a dollar was Can be sold, no matter how much you sell, it will make a lot of money.
But now, Annie couldn't bear it anymore.
