Disaster Artist

Yu Shao's help in the snow solved the urgent needs of Ji Xu and Lu Qian. He originally thought that the follow-up would be smooth sailing, but things backfired.

Not only is it just standing still, it even has the illusion of starting to retreat.

Logically speaking, these film companies have nothing to do with the streamer film industry, and they are all ready to change hands, so why should they care who the buyers are? Shouldn't it be to get rid of it as soon as possible?

But real life is not that simple.

Even if the bosses of these film companies leave the company, it does not mean that they have completely left the film industry. With such big companies as Streamer Films, they are looking up and seeing each other. Who knows if there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future - even if not, through this The next opportunity can also sell a favor, why not do it?

It is true that the streamer film industry cannot cover the sky with only one hand, but with such a behemoth, the shadow can indeed cover the corners and corners of the industry.

When filming "Unfriending" last time, Lu Qian and Ji Xu didn't feel too much pressure. Even the release, there was no direct obstruction, whether it was the negotiation with the detached theater, or the later with other theaters. Working together, everything went well.

But this time, the streamer film industry is really serious, and if it really releases harsh words in the industry, then people can't continue to pretend that they didn't hear it.

So, when Ji Xu and Lu Qian approached the door, they all got the answer of refusal.

Once or twice, the negotiating conditions may not be able to satisfy both parties.

Of course, business is inherently an exchange of interests. Even if there is no shadow of the streamer film industry, it is not so easy for the acquisition company to reach an agreement. Bargaining is a normal link. To the streamer film industry.

But four times? Five times? Things started to get tricky.

Moreover, there are various excuses. Some people say that he decided to continue the business after careful consideration. Some people directly double the purchase price. Some people simply avoid the meeting under the poor excuse that the boss is on vacation. The figure of the boss came.

The funniest and most outrageous thing is that there is a boss who has always been arrogant and rude. After looking at Lu Qian up and down, he disliked him for being too young and might "waste his own efforts".

As a result, Lu Qian, who had endured and endured, directly sprayed it back, "It's better to open your eyes and see what you have ruined with your own efforts."

The boss was flushed and looked like he was going to explode at any moment.

In order to avoid the murder, Ji Xu pulled Lu Lu and retreated at the speed of light.

The acquisition will naturally have no following.

In such a situation, Lu Qian and Ji Xu had more or less expected, but they were more or less dumbfounded than discouraged.

"I am honored to be so valued by the streamer film industry."

Lu Qian raised his chest proudly, causing Ji Xu to clapp his hands and laugh.

There is a saying that goes, "The reason why I pay attention to you and embarrass you is because you are worth it".

Moreover, Ji Xu also expressed disgust.

"Their methods are really old-fashioned. If they really drive up prices like you said last time and drive us to a dead end, I will look at them too much, and that's the end?"

With Ji Xu's super big eyes, you can deeply feel the contempt in the words.

But no matter what, the cruel reality is that the five priority options Ji Xu selected on the list were all cleared, so he had to keep looking down, and then down again.

Bridgewater Pictures.

This is already the seventh name on the chronicle list.

In fact, for senior art film lovers, the name of Bridgewater Pictures is not unfamiliar. At least you may have heard it once or twice, which is a bit of an impression.

Because Bridgewater Pictures has produced and distributed the works of several film masters, such as Lin Changyuan's "Dark Night", Qin Shuqing's "Love Minor", and Gong Yunhe's "Moonlight Lovers", these directors are from the past 20 years. A master who has won many awards and received many recognitions over the years.

However, Bridgewater Pictures lacked a bit of luck. The works they invested in and filmed were all works that the masters played relatively less well, that is to say, they attracted some attention and love, but after all, they did not become popular and commercial. Success is even more desirable.

However, the two founders of Bridgewater Pictures are art film lovers. They have always insisted on producing and distributing niche independent films, and have never changed their original aspirations. It has been ten years in a blink of an eye, and they can persist for such a long time. It is not a small achievement, and it has many movie works that are loved by senior fans.

It is a pity that the company has not made any money and is still losing money one after another.

I forgot to mention that the two founders of Bridgewater Pictures are a couple, but because of the hardships of life, the impact of reality, and the lack of profit of the film company, the two couples drifted apart and eventually parted ways. Road, naturally, Bridgewater Pictures no longer intends to continue operating.

As a result, Bridgewater Pictures also appeared on the "for sale" list.

Logically speaking, Bridgewater Pictures is a perfect fit, but why didn't Ji Xu list the top five options?

expensive.

Simply put, it is one word.

Because the boss is going to sell it in a package, including the company and all the movie rights, the price is naturally slightly higher, and it is estimated that it will take 70 million to win.

Although it is said that Lu Qian and Ji Xu can come up with the money, if necessary, add Su Ziyi and Bai Cheng, but the next filming and production will burn money everywhere, and they really can't squander it at will.

Ji Xu hesitated again and again, but still did not give priority to Bridgewater Pictures.

Unexpectedly, after going around in circles, I still came to Bridgewater Pictures.

Bridgewater Films, which has been in business for more than ten years, is located in Nanqiao District, only four blocks away from Damen Films. It can be reached on foot. It can definitely be regarded as a member of Lanchuan. Nor are passers-by who come and go in a hurry.

However, UU Reading www.uukanshu.com finally ushered in the fate of being sold.

Ye Rang, the boss of Bridgewater Pictures, is an elegant man in his early forties. His temples, which are slightly dyed in gray, add a mature temperament. He doesn't look like a businessman at all, more like a poet or a writer. The identity with a strong literary atmosphere is a little surprising.

But seriously think about the policy and style of Bridgewater Pictures, but realize that this is reasonable.

When meeting and introducing himself, Ye Rang took the initiative to make a little joke to dissolve the atmosphere, "I hope the director is not a type specializing in horror movies, otherwise I think there may be some difficulties in the progress of the negotiation today."

A little joking, successfully made Lu Qian laugh happily.

Then, the two of them didn't go directly to the topic to discuss the acquisition. Instead, they chatted about movies, such as the reason why Ye Rang liked movies at the beginning, and the experience of Ye Rang working with those film masters.

It's more of a fan meeting than a business meeting.
