global actor

"Wake up, don't sleep yet."

"Huh? What's wrong?"

Pushing open the door of Kesha's office, it was a little dark inside, with only a slight light coming through the gaps in the curtains, but one could clearly see Kesha's unsightly sleeping posture on the sofa, snoring loudly.

The smell of tobacco and the smell of fat excreted by white people's developed sweat glands mixed in this small room. The air did not smell good. Lu Ze walked to the sofa and shook Kesha's body vigorously. The springs of the sofa were overloaded and made a creaking sound.

Kesha sat up sleepily, rubbed his face, and looked at Lu Ze dully.

"We have a guest. He's waiting in the conference room. I'll call Mickey. You go over and talk to him first."

"Okay, I'll wash my face and go there in a minute."

After Kesha agreed, Lu Ze took the lead to go out, walked outside, took out his mobile phone and dialed Mickey's phone number. The call was answered after eight or nine ringtones.

"Hey, Fanny is out of school here. I was waiting at the door. I thought I would call you later, but I didn't expect you to call me first. Is she here?"

"Well, didn't you say you were coming on the weekend? Why did people come here on Wednesday?"

"I don't know. He said it was a little urgent, so he asked me if he could move the date forward. I just replied to him ten minutes ago, and someone came unexpectedly. I haven't ruled out the possibility that he has contacted other companies. You go and find out.

I'll go back in thirty minutes at most."

"Or should I negotiate the contract with him? You can play with Fanny for a day. The contract is here. If he wants to sign it, it doesn't matter whether you are here or not."

"Forget it, I promised him just now that I would go back and interview him in a while, but I suddenly stopped going. It's reasonable for him to think so."

"Okay, then I'll wait for you."

After hanging up the phone, Lu Ze couldn't help but feel sorry for Mickey. The father and daughter finally had the chance to get along for a long time, but this rare time was wasted because of the sudden change of schedule. But there is no choice. Now the company is experiencing an increase in resources.

Not to mention the lack of money during the period, Mickey was so anxious that he lost a lot of hair every day.

On the other hand, there is still a large director gap within the company to absorb the newly signed actors. Universal Brothers cannot rely solely on commercial resources and spend a lot of money to push out all the actors. Otherwise, the cost will be too high, and even greater losses will be incurred.

The future will come from active exposure. If your weaknesses are exposed, everyone will take a stab at you. For the film industry, self-production and self-marketing is the most benign way of operation.

Therefore, the goal of this business negotiation is not just to seize the distribution rights of "The Ghost Story", but more importantly, to seize the man named Griezmann into his camp.

After hanging up the phone and thinking about it for a long time, Lu Ze put his cell phone into his jacket, took the last puff of his half-burned cigar, and then put it out in the ashtray at the door. He coughed lightly, leaving the

The smoke in his mouth was quickly exhaled, and he turned around and walked towards the conference room.

Gil watched eagerly, and when he saw Lu Ze going upstairs, he quietly walked out, picked up the remaining half of the cigar and returned to the mail room. He lit an ordinary lighter for a long time before lighting the cigar again, shivering.

He put his legs on the table and took a long puff of cigarette.

…

"You've been waiting for a long time. Let's have a cup of tea."

The atmosphere in the conference room was a bit awkward. Griezmann sat opposite Kesha. Seeing this evil man who looked like he could eat two children, he didn't dare to speak. It wasn't until Lu Ze came in with a tea tray that he breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up.

After sharing a cup of tea and holding something in his hand, the tension slowly subsided.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu Ze, that my early visit has disturbed your normal rest. It's just that my grandmother is sick and will have an operation in a few days. In order to rush back to be with her in advance, I have no choice but to break the relationship between me and her.

The agreement you made."

"It doesn't matter. Family is more important. It's completely understandable. And I'm happy for you to come here in advance. After all, I can appreciate your works earlier. It's also a surprise for me, isn't it?"

Lu Ze wouldn't ask how his grandmother's condition was. Maybe his grandmother was healthy enough to do five somersaults in one go. Who has never done this before using a relative's illness or marriage as an excuse? What's more, she is even more indifferent to family ties.

As for the Europeans, I’m sure his grandmother has used the resurrection coins several times.

Lu Ze didn't care at all who was "sick" in his family. The important thing was to express his strong intention and warm welcome in words. After all, he really wanted to sign him. At this time, he absolutely couldn't say that if he was in a hurry, he could go back to see the patient first, and later

Let’s talk again.

The first is that he is worried that he may have given birth to a second child in the past two months. The second is that he is afraid of giving Griezmann the carelessness of selling it whenever he wants. At this moment, he wants to make him feel

The feeling that your work is recognized and urgently needed.

As for worrying about him raising the price, that's purely a joke. Lu Ze is the leading party in this negotiation, coming to recommend his works, and under the conditions of the economic downturn, this is a buyer's market.

Moreover, isn't this a test of his character? Universal Brothers is not the kind of company that lowers prices. No matter how much your work is worth, it won't be a penny worse for you. If you dare to speak loudly, then only

Two results.

If the work is okay and the price increase is acceptable, then you can take the money and get out. If the work is not good and it's not worth the price...then get out with the rubbish you shot.

After hearing Lu Ze's answer, a smile appeared on the young-looking young man's face, and he became more confident in his speech. The restrained feeling of being submissive was gradually disintegrating.

What young people need most is a sense of recognition, and it is often easy to fall into the trap because of other people's verbal recognition. But Griezmann is lucky, Lu Ze is not the kind to hurt others.

At the beginning, the topic did not jump directly to "Record of Ghosts". It was just like an ordinary chat. Lu Ze inquired about his creative concept, creative ideas, and what part of the market he expected the work should target, and what his expectations were.

A preliminary assessment of capabilities.

At the same time, relying on the clues revealed in some of his words, Lu Ze was basically certain that there were indeed other competitors involved. As for his grandmother being sick, it was just a lie that he had tried every time since he was a child.

Time passed very quickly, and it seemed that not long after, Mickey knocked on the door and walked in, holding a few thin documents in his hand. After getting to know each other again, Mickey started the topic and returned to "Ghost".

The horror film itself.

"Have you brought over the complete version of "The Ghost Story"?"

"Yes, it's on me."

"Is it convenient to watch the whole plot?"

"Yes, of course."

The sample film sent to Mickey was only about ten minutes long. For a very slow film like "The Ghost Story", it didn't show anything at all. Mickey just picked out among the many rubbish that even the pictures were shot.

This is a work that is quite sophisticated in its screen layout and atmosphere rendering, and I'm just looking forward to the follow-up plot.

As for what this movie is like, what it's worth, or whether it's worth buying, you can only make a conclusion after watching the entire movie.

Several documents were distributed by Mickey. They were confidentiality contracts. They were something that had to be signed. They were not many words and could be understood without a lawyer. In short, they could not be disclosed. Plagiarizing any plot or setting of the work was a violation of the law.

How much compensation will be paid under the regulations? Mitch here fills in one million pounds. For "The Ghost Story" with a production cost of only more than 40,000 pounds, it can be said to be a huge compensation.

This is also a way for Mickey to show his sense of identity and express his importance to this work. Unfortunately... this kid will inevitably have some useless ideas in his heart when he looks at the compensation standard marked on the paper.

"How about you just copy mine and pay me one million as compensation..."

The brainstorming only flashed for a moment, and in the end his eyes were still on the paper. He had to read a simple confidentiality contract several times before finally slowly signing it on the white paper.

There were five copies, one for each person, and one for the company. The contract came into effect. Led by Mickey, the five of them walked to the fourth floor, the private theater of Universal Brothers.
