Countercurrent Xiangjiang giants

Chapter 192 188 Disc-in-Disc Movie Copyright
In the afternoon sun, there were students in twos and threes lying on the grass of Los Angeles Arts Center College, feeling extremely comfortable.

Lin Chu was walking on the campus, wearing a pair of black trousers and a white shirt, with a sense of calm on his too young face.

The sunshine on the campus is good, there are a lot of students, and the girls who pass by occasionally have a good figure, so he takes a few more admiring glances.

At the entrance of the auditorium, a blond girl looked around, holding a sign in her hand with Lin Chu's name written on it, still written in Chinese.

Lin Chu glanced at her and said, "Kates asked you to pick me up, right?"

"You are Mr. Lin Chu?" The girl looked at Lin Chu a few times and was very excited: "My God, you are so handsome, are you Katz's boyfriend?"

Lin Chu shook his head: "Not at the moment, let's go, we're going in."

The girl had freckles on her face, full of youth, but Lin Chu didn't want to talk to her.

The seat Katz arranged for him was in the first row, surrounded by school leaders, Lin Chu nodded calmly to the people around him.

The blond girl turned and left unwillingly, looking back from time to time.

This performance was for the school celebration, and Katz specially invited her here. Because of her father's relationship, she was quite valued, so Lin Chu sat not far from the principal.

The performance began after the principal came to the stage to speak, but there was no Katz at the beginning of the performance, and the cheerleading performance first, which lasted for nearly an hour.

Seeing such a performance, Lin Chu squinted his eyes and thought about it, but he remembered a song and dance movie, "High School Musical". This movie was also very popular, and several movies were shot in succession.

Katz was the finale, and she was the lead dancer. She was dressed in a white ballet costume, white stockings, her black hair was coiled, and she was tall and tall with particularly long legs.

She danced beautifully, her eyes fell on Lin Chu from time to time, and she smiled brightly.

Sitting beside Lin Chu were two blond men, one with a big beard, in his thirties, with a strong figure, and the other with a big belly, in his 40s.

The bearded man stared at Katz and murmured: "She is such a sweetheart, she keeps smiling at me, I think I am fascinated!"

"Oh, her figure is really great, her buttocks are bulging like the thickest hamburger, you are so lucky, remember to take the initiative later." The big belly looked envious

Lin Chu turned his head to look at the two of them, and hooked the corners of his lips. The dance was finally over. Katz and Lin Chu waved their hands, smiled brighter, and turned to go backstage.

A few minutes later, she came out with her clothes in her arms. She put on a pair of white sneakers, and the ballet dress on her body was still in place.

Running all the way to Lin Chu, when she was about to speak, the bearded man said cheerfully, "Beautiful lady, are you going on a date with me?"

"Huh?" Katz was startled, then glanced at him, and said with a straight face: "I'm sorry, I have no interest in you."

After speaking, she took Lin Chu's hand and ran out, her long legs were strong, and she was still slightly sweaty.

The bearded man shouted from behind: "God, there must be something wrong! How could she like an oriental person? Such a sweetheart..."

After running all the way into the campus, Katz let go of Lin Chu and smiled at him.

"Aren't you going to change?" Lin Chu looked at her and spread his hands.

Katz straightened his waist proudly and said, "How is it? Does it look good?"

"Very beautiful, with a great figure, but I told you yesterday that this should not be seen by more people, do you understand?"

Lin Chu shrugged, Katz thought about it, nodded and said, "I understand, this is the oriental subtlety, right? I'll go to the locker room to change, right here, let's go."

Pulling Lin Chu up again, she ran to one side, and ran to the changing room at the back. She went in to change, and Lin Chu stood outside waiting for her, with a strange look in her eyes.

When Katz came out again, she changed into a white skirt, the white stockings on her legs were still there, and she held the ballet costume in her arms.

"Why didn't your parents come today?" Lin Chu asked.

Cates smiled: "They have work to do, and they will go back to New York after a while. Maybe I want to go back together, or maybe I'm here alone."

"Let's go, have you eaten yet?" Lin Chu glanced at her.

She shook her head: "I haven't had time yet, because we have to dance, so we don't eat at noon, otherwise we will vomit easily, and the clothes won't look good. I'm so hungry by now."

"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner. I'm going back to Xiangjiang the day after tomorrow. If you want to stay in Los Angeles, you can go to Shuangmu Films. I'll give you a job. Do you have a job you like?"

Lin Chu asked, and Katz thought for a while and said, "I used to be a model, and now I want to be an actor. In fact, I want to make some money. I can help with sales!"

"We don't have any products to sell there, but I think you can learn to make TV shows. Your father, Mr. Joseph, is a well-known TV producer. Are you not interested?"

Lin Chu looked at her and asked, she shook her head: "I don't have much interest... But, Lin, do you need me to do such a job?"

"Need! I have a TV station in Xiangjiang, and I need an excellent producer." Lin Chu nodded.

Katz laughed: "Then I will follow my father to do an internship for a while, instead of going to Shuangmu Films. After a year, I will go to Xiangjiang to find you, and I should be able to help you."

"Then it's settled!" Lin Chu nodded.

Cates responded, "I want to eat Chinese food, go to Chinatown?"

"Let's go." Lin Chu walked forward.

Cates followed behind him and took the initiative to hold his hand, which was still sweaty but smooth.

There are many restaurants in Chinatown, Lin Chu thought for a while, and took Katz into a noodle restaurant. Noodles are one of the most representative daily foods of Chinese people.

"Kates, you should have eaten noodles, right?" Lin Chu asked.

Katz replied, "Yes, my mother is from Shanghai and knows how to cook noodles. I used to eat a lot of Yangchun noodles."

"I'm going to eat some special noodles today. The noodles here should be from the north, which is different from the noodles from the south of the Yangtze River... fried noodles with sauce, and two other dishes, fried cucumbers and stewed large intestines."

Lin Chu glanced at the menu, handed it to the waiter, and spoke in Chinese.

The waiter could understand Chinese, so he turned around and went inside. Ten minutes later, the noodles were brought out and placed in front of Lin Chu, one bowl for each person.

Cates watched Lin Chu mix the noodles. She imitated him, and after taking a bite, she praised: "Lin, it tastes great!"

"Eat more." Lin Chu responded.

The taste of the dish has been somewhat improved. Of course, it may not be an improvement. After all, the seasoning in the United States cannot be exactly the same as that in China. There are always some changes, but it does not affect the overall taste.

Katz was very cheerful and talked a lot with Lin Chu. After eating the noodles, she stuck out her tongue and said, "Lin, am I too noisy?"

"Not noisy, very lively." Lin Chu shook his head, then changed the subject: "Kates, Westerners shouldn't care about these things, right?"

Cates smiled: "I have a quarter of Chinese blood, so my mother told me to be more reserved."

"Okay, can we go?" Lin Chu said softly, and then changed the topic: "Kates, you should need some money to accompany your father back to New York. Do you need me to advance your salary in advance?"

Katz shook his head: "I have money. I have [-] dollars in my hand. I earned it over the years... You will return to Xiangjiang the day after tomorrow. I want to give you a gift. Can I ask you out tomorrow?"

"Yes." Lin Chu nodded.

Katz got up and left with him. Her family had a high-end apartment in Los Angeles, and it wasn't too far away from Beverly.

Lin Chu sent her home, and went straight home.

A piece of paper was sent from the fax machine in the study room. It was from Jane. Yesterday's box office has already come out, and the box office of the two films on the 24th is 300 million US dollars more than the box office.

Lin Chu didn't care either. Today's box office should be better. The word-of-mouth of "Cell of Fear" is getting better and better, and "The Blair Witch" also has a group of solid fans.

After he tidied up, the phone rang, and when he answered, Tang Shuxuan's voice sounded: "Sheng Lin, I've contacted CBS, and they expressed that they have no intention of selling the movie rights."

"No intention?" Lin Chu frowned. If no intention, how could they sell to Paramount after a few years?This should be based on retreat.

Jane's voice sounded: "Boss, Sister Tang and I went to CBS today, I think they should have never thought about film copyright before, so they rejected us.

I believe they will definitely sell it after internal discussions. It is very difficult for us to get the copyright, so I think we should find a middleman, preferably someone from the TV industry, so that they will let go. "

Lin Chu actually thought so too, and Jane and his opinions coincided, and Tang Shuxuan's voice sounded: "Lin Sheng, Jane's idea is reasonable, but I'm not familiar with people in the TV circle."

"Let me figure out a way, you wait for my news." Lin Chu responded and put down the phone.

At this moment, he suddenly thought of Katz. Her father, Joseph, is a well-known producer in the TV circle. He should have a certain right to speak, and he can try it through him.

After thinking about it, he dug out the phone number of Katz's house and dialed it directly.

Katz's voice sounded: "Hi, this is Katz's house."

"Hi, it's me, Lin Chu, didn't I bother you?" Lin Chu responded.

Katz quickly said, "No! Lin, I'm glad you can call me. Is there anything I can do for you?"

"There is one thing, I want to ask your father for help, can you give me his phone number?" Lin Chu asked, and then briefly explained the matter.

Katz responded: "I'll call him and ask him to call you back. He has a good relationship with Columbia, and that TV series is okay... By the way, if it's a movie, I can act in it." role?"

"I can give you a very important role." Lin Chu responded.

Katz smiled: "Then leave it to me."

Putting down the phone, Lin Chu smiled, his network in the United States was too weak, and it would be much more convenient to have this relationship with Katz.

Half an hour later, the phone rang, and when I answered it, a deep man's voice sounded: "Mr. Lin, I'm Joseph, and Phoebe told me about you.

I have just contacted Columbia. They never thought that anyone would want the film copyright of "Disc in Disc", so they are discussing it internally.

It's just that no matter how they negotiate, their purpose is still to sell, so I directly set a price for them to test their bottom line, and $150 million should be enough.

In fact, they also made some money through this TV series, so it doesn't matter how much the film copyright sells, but the common problem of such large companies is to turn some inexpensive things into expensive things.

If you still want to talk, I can give you a hand, but at most it will be $10,000+, and any more will piss them off. "

"Mr. Joseph, thank you. I accept this price. You don't have to bargain any more. I believe they will appreciate you. This is also a favor." Lin Chu responded happily.

Joseph was startled, then smiled and said, "What an interesting young man! No wonder people call you the mysterious Dongfang Lin...By the way, you and Phoebe are friends?"

"It is indeed a friend." Lin Chu responded.

Joseph responded: "Mr. Lin, Phoebe doesn't have many friends, and even fewer close friends. She can help you come to me for help. She really takes you as a friend. I hope you can protect her and don't let her Hurt."

"I don't have many friends. I will cherish every real friend. Please rest assured, Mr. Joseph." Lin Chu said lightly.

Joseph laughed: "You are very mature and good enough. You are now one of the best writers in the United States, and the royalties already have tens of millions of dollars. This will be a great help to Phoebe."

The two chatted for a few more words, and then Joseph said softly: "Mr. Lin, send someone to go to Columbia tomorrow, and just sign the contract."

Putting down the phone, Lin Chu heaved a sigh of relief, this person is also an old fox.

After dialing the number of Shuangmu Pictures, Tang Shuxuan answered, and Lin Chu said, "Sister Tang, you and Jane will go again tomorrow and sign the contract directly. It is 150 million US dollars, and I will transfer the money to the company's account. "

"Is that the deal?" Tang Shuxuan was startled.

Lin Chuying said: "It's done! In addition to discussing the copyright of the film, we also need to win the distribution rights of the peripherals. At least we must be allowed to jointly develop with Columbia.

Otherwise, if our movie becomes popular, it will definitely have a great impact. We can give up the US market, but the markets outside the US market must belong to us. "

"Lin Sheng is right, I will definitely talk about it." Tang Shuxuan responded.

Lin Chu gave a few more instructions before putting down the phone.

There were footsteps outside the door, Lin Qingxia should be back, and she was going back to Xiangjiang the day after tomorrow, she went to buy some gifts for her friends, she still has some friends in Xiangjiang.

The next moment, she pushed open the door, poked her head out, glanced at Lin Chu, twisted her waist and walked in front of him.

"Honey, I'm not going anywhere tomorrow, I'll stay with you at home." Lin Qingxia laughed, sat in his arms, and then changed the topic: "Lixia said, your cooking skills are really good, She wanted to have another meal, but I scolded her."

Lin Chu smiled: "I'm going out tomorrow, and I'll cook another meal for you when I come back. Don't scold her, it's unnecessary."
