877: Untouchable

After the movie viewing experience ended, Li Donglai asked the film festival organizer to contact the director who could not touch him. He wanted to buy the overseas copyright of the movie.

"I think Olivina Kash will be very happy to hear this news. We will convey it on our behalf, but you may have to face your competitors and others have also liked this movie."

"Oh, thank you for letting me know, please contact me as soon as possible. I am very grateful." Li Donglai was not surprised that this movie was indeed great.

The organizer agreed.

This is also a story at the Tokyo Film Festival. Li Donglai is now a tycoon-level figure and every move has attracted much attention. When promoting Twilight in Tokyo, he accidentally fell in love with the winner of the highest award at the Tokyo Film Festival and couldn't touch it. He wanted to buy the overseas copyright of the movie.

In a sense, they are also affirming the Tokyo Film Festival and will definitely promote it vigorously afterwards.

"I thought you were just talking casually about not rejecting you, but when you were promoting, you actually wanted to buy copyright." Christine joked. She just came to watch the movie with him comfortably and ignored the rest.

Li Donglai smiled and said, "Anyway, why not do it?"

"Can this movie make money, don't lose money?" She also looked down on the Tokyo Film Festival by Westerners.

Li Donglai said without any worries: "This movie has the characteristics of a big sale and is very popular in France. As long as it is operated, it may make a big profit."

Christine wrinkled her nose but thought of another question. She held Li Donglai's hand and asked quietly: "I always wanted to ask you when you were filming, you thought you would finish the filming quickly and leave now when the promotion is being promoted. You don't want to show up together. You don't want to see Robert."

Li Donglai looked at her in surprise and shook his head to deny that "I'm not just busy."

Christine seemed to recognize his thoughts and smiled: "You Chinese people are very strange and have nothing to do with your business. It was me who made the choice. I was the one who fell in love with you and took the initiative to ask you. You don't have to bear psychological pressure."

Li Donglai smiled, "Baby, I'm not a good person. I'm really flattered by your words. Remember to open the window when you go to bed at night."

Christine said strangely: "What do you do when you open the windows on dozens of floors?"

"Hey, just ask you to open it. Let's go to Tokyo together at night!"

...

If you don’t really encounter a good movie, you can’t understand the enthusiasm of filmmakers for good movies.

Brad Pitt spent a lot of money to buy the adaptation rights because he liked the Hong Kong movie Infernal Affairs. Li Donglai can now understand his mood at that time, especially when he saw Weinstein's head family coming together, it felt even stronger.

The organizer of the Tokyo Film Festival contacted two directors Olivina Kash and Elictorlanda, who were soon unable to touch, were talking to the head of Weinstein Company about overseas copyrights and heard that Li Donglai wanted to buy overseas copyrights and came immediately.

The shadow of the tree of the human name. There are only two movies in the world that have 2 billion box offices.

The name Li Donglai is still very convincing.

Li Donglai and Christine just returned to the hotel where they were staying and saw the Weinstein team wearing a black suit.

This guy is also one of the most influential figures in the world's film industry today. Mira Max, who he led for 25 years, has produced and released a large number of classic movies and won him the reputation of "the salvager of modern films."

But in the eyes of many people, he is just a movie businessman at best.

Feng Xiaogang scolded him, "a liar! Buy low and sell it all the time to give birth to a child without an ass."

...Not a good person.

The people over there also saw Li Donglai and Harvey laughed and said, "Hey lee, I can see you here."

"I'm everywhere." Li Donglai smiled and then shook hands with the two directors Olivina Kash and Elictorlanda and got to know each other. "Hi Olivi, I like it very much. I'm bluntly saying that such a good movie shouldn't just let it shine in France, which should let the whole world see it."

Li Donglai said this sincerely. Olivina Kash and Elictorlanda were very happy. "Thank you for your hard work."

"Hey, we have the same vision. Weinstein also really hopes to bring this movie to the world." Harvey didn't expect that Li Donglai would go straight to the point of coming up and making him a little passive. "There is also a way to come first and then come in business, right? We had a very happy conversation just now. Director Olivi is also willing to hand over the incoming touch to Weinstein company to operate."

"Hahahaha, don't worry, let's sit down and chat. While eating, the Japanese are still very good at handling seafood." He was anxious, Li Donglai was not in a hurry.

What does it mean that you won’t appear here after you have already agreed.

Li Donglai had already guessed that according to Weinstein's vampire style, he would obviously not give a very satisfactory price. That's why Olivi could not wait to contact the next customer.

In fact, the two of them had to come here despite Harvey's opposition, and he knew that the business was going to be bad. He worked hard in Hollywood for so many years but still couldn't compare to this little guy who had been in a state of affairs for only a few years and thought that he had lived in vain.

Moreover, no matter what the Phantom or Weinstein have, they cannot hide the intentions and updates. Others can make news because the independent producer or investor of the movie will release news and publicize that this will bargain more and attract more attention. So they have no scruples.

"It's good not to touch this movie." Harvey first agreed and frowned: "But the price is already a little higher than 5 million, but it's not worth the price. Although we value it very much, the first thing we consider is the profit."

"5 million" Li Donglai also frowned slightly, "It's indeed a bit too much."

Olivi obviously did not expect this situation. He hurriedly said: "The cumulative number of viewers in France exceeds nearly 20 million, and even exceeds the record of Titanic to become the new French box office champion. The investment of this movie exceeds 10 million US dollars in copyright fees is nothing. It is not attractive to us. The low price is 10 million, and I hope to get a share of the share of the share of the share of the share of the product. If you really want to buy it, you don't need to pay me a prepayment to give me a reasonable share of the product."

This request made both of them frown. The issue that the publisher least wants to talk to filmmakers is probably the box office share. Who can tell the future of things? Maybe it can become a hit movie like a ghost record. Maybe it will become a typical example of being very popular but not popular.

But everyone wants to get stuck.

Li Donglai said: "As you said, it has achieved a box office of 10,000 people in France, but it has consumed too much energy in France. After all, it is a non-English film. Who can say how popular it is when it is released overseas next year?"

He revealed the actual number of moviegoers in France, which made Olivi a little embarrassed. Obviously, Li Donglai came without any preparation.

"Although we are opponents, I have to say that I agree with you." Harvey Weinstein nodded with appreciation and said with a smile: "Our Weinstein company has already operated many masterpieces of reputation. If I say I can help your movies make the Ode next year."

Olivi and the other looked at each other and were a little moved.

Li Donglai smiled and said, "Do you get the nomination to Chong Ao and then walk back in shame?"

"Haha Lee. I understand that your experience of failing to hit the best director twice is not good, but even if you only get nominations, it is a great honor for the director."

Li Donglai smiled and said, "If this is also a bargaining chip, then we Phantom also has the ability to do this."

Harvey felt the crisis and started smearing mode. He smiled and said, "It's not that it's not good to just talk about it. Lee's bid for Olympics is a great dream for filmmakers. You shouldn't joke like this."

"No Harvey." Li Donglai said leisurely: "Only if you have such a bad news, you will think I am joking. Director Ang Lee's new work and director Steven Spielberg's new work are both Phantom's preparations for next year's Olympic Games. Although it has not been completed, I am confident that they will appear at the Oscars. What do you think?"

Harvey's smile suddenly suffocated.

In 2010, this young man missed the Oscar for the first time and then he said to everyone what I would come back next year. As a result, in 11 years, he won the Golden Globes Youngest Best Director Award and was a powerful contender for the Oscar for Best Director.

For some reason, when he heard Li Dong say this, "What do you think?" Harvey immediately thought of this history. His face suddenly became gloomy. Looking at Olivia, who was still watching the two of them raise prices, he said decisively: "If you succeed, I will increase the price! 10 million is already a very high price, but you have to give up the box office share. Because it is too rude to ask for box office share."

Olivi was a little moved but he could still hold back.

Li Donglai pondered: "Is 10 million yuan a big price for Weinstein. Olivi, you don't have to watch this way, Olivia, we fight to the death. 10 million yuan is not stressful for me, and I give as much as I give. And I promise to help the movie with all my strength. Although this looks stupid."

The two people sitting in front of Olivina Kash and Elictorlanda were a little embarrassed, and they knew exactly what they thought.

Harvey frowned and said, "12 million is the final price! Weinstein has the habit of rushing to the Olympics, please think carefully."

Li Donglai also simply said: "I only give 10 million yuan to give you a pure overseas box office share of 3%. In addition, I need to buy and get all the copyrights of movies except France, including theater distribution rights, DVD distribution rights, etc.."
