The years when I was a nobleman in the world of Terra

Page 64

The key to negotiation is to offer a bargaining chip that the other party can't refuse, and Charlotte is planning to do so next.

"I can restore your theater to its former glory, and from that alone, I know that you dare not do anything to me."

"Ok?"

Count Anthony looked at Charlotte's face delicately.

"You are very confident."

"Confidence comes from strength."

Charlotte put the prepared film in front of Count Anthony.

"I think this film is enough to prove my strength."

In fact, talking to a practical person like Earl Anthony does not require so many twists and turns. You only need to come up with what he urgently needs, and most of the time he can agree to the proposal.

As the owner of a theater, Count Anthony's castle also has equipment for playing movies.

An hour and a half later, accompanied by Charlotte, Count Anthony watched the film "Casimir Frontier" in its entirety.

Just when Charlotte felt that the negotiations between them could officially start, Earl Anthony seemed to have not completely adjusted his emotions.

"This should be the Lightning Knight, right?"

Count Anthony raised his trembling right hand, pointing to the dazzling light bursting out from the screen.

"My memory is correct, this is definitely a descendant of Pegasus Knight."

"Count Anthony, are you all right?"

Charlotte tentatively asked.

"Oh... no, I'm actually fine."

Count Anthony signaled to Charlotte that there was nothing to worry about.

"I just recalled some past events."

"At that time, in order to accumulate military exploits, I set foot on the battlefield with my father and grandfather. But later, due to various reasons, the balance of victory began to move closer to the direction of the Ursas."

"Grandpa and father died on the battlefield one after another. I worked so hard to cry that I thought I couldn't hide from Ursas' butcher knife, but at that juncture..."

Count Anthony's words paused here, and he took a deep breath before continuing.

"The Pegasus Knight appeared, and his burst of light instantly illuminated the entire earth. No one knew how he did it. With his own power, he completely changed the direction of the war."

"I've heard the story."

Charlotte nodded.

"Pegasus Knight is indeed Linguang's grandfather."

"I said there must be nothing wrong."

Count Anthony said with a smile.

"Based on this, I will agree to your proposal. I can hand over the ownership of the theater to you. You only need to pay me a sum of money at the original price."

"But what I mean is that I have no intention of buying the theater under your name, Count Anthony."

"Forehead……?"

Count Anthony was taken aback.

"I don't want to buy it, do you want to play this movie in my theater?"

"Do you think that if the film goes well, there will be viewers coming to watch it?"

"Personally, I certainly think it will, and it will explode."

Count Anthony gave his own answer.

"But the biggest problem is that the current audience rarely say that they will waste a lot of time and money to come to the movie theater to watch."

No way, could it be said that there are pirated copies in Terra Continent?

"No, not what you think."

As if he had understood the thoughts in Charlotte's mind, Count Anthony added a sentence.

"Casimir's crackdown on piracy is very strict, and you don't need to worry about this issue."

"What really made the film less popular was that the unknown knights, as much as I hate to admit it, had a lot of appeal to the commoners of Casimir."

Well, it turned out that the real reason was this, and Charlotte secretly breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.

He can't solve the problem of piracy, but if it's just to compare the competitiveness of products, Charlotte is still quite confident.

"I don't think my movies are worse than those idol knights. They have handsome men, and I also have beautiful women, right?"

Charlotte gestured with her eyes to the forester who sat on the chair with a peaceful face.

Such things as Lsp, no matter which world it is, will never be too rare.

"She is indeed a wonderful girl. If I were 30 years younger, I might have a duel with you, brother Charlotte."

"duel?"

"Casimir in the past was not as peaceful as it is now. At that time, it was normal for nobles to fight in the street for the woman they liked, and there were even many people who died because of the duel."

Count Anthony explained.

"Besides, in Casimir, there was a popular saying about arena fighting, but that was more than ten years ago. It's normal if you don't know."

Although Earl Anthony did not explain in detail, Charlotte still remembered the three words "Arena" in his heart, because he had an inexplicable premonition that this information would bring him far-reaching consequences in the future. influences.

But those are things that need to be considered in the future. For the time being, let's focus on the current situation.

"Count Anthony, times are developing."

said Charlotte.

"Sometimes we can't fight too much with the pace of the times."

"Of course I understand the truth, and I'm just expressing my feelings."

The times are advancing, and new things will always be accompanied by old things dissipating. When there was no good partner in the past, Earl Anthony could still stick to it with the obsession in his heart.

But now that the successor of the Pegasus Knight, who had been a great favor to him, had appeared before his eyes, Count Anthony thought that there was no need for him to continue to hold on to something.

"Then, let's discuss the relevant cooperation matters."

nailed it!

Charlotte cried out inwardly.

Although Count Anthony and Count De Vos are old acquaintances, Charlotte feels that Count Anthony does not want to have too much contact with Count De Vos.This can be regarded as a small attempt by Charlotte, after all, in the days to come, he will always continue to look for new partners.

He understands the truth that you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Apart from Count Anthony, he will definitely have more and more partners in the future.

Charlotte was scrutinizing Count Anthony, and of course Count Anthony was also scrutinizing Charlotte.

Although Earl Anthony didn't have much obsession with power itself, he still needed money. After all, people always need food in this world.So Count Anthony realized that the next conversation might be about business.

"Then, Viscount Charlotte, let me talk about the biggest condition I can give."

Count Anthony said.

"I'll pay for the venue, and I'll also arrange the staff. Can we split the income from the movie show [-]-[-]?"

If it weren't for the continuous losses in recent years, Count Anthony would even be willing to split such an excellent film like Charlotte's.

"I think so."

Compared with the previous life, after the movie was broadcast, the theater had to share money, the publicity cost money, and various taxes had to be paid. The conditions offered by Earl Anthony are absolutely generous.

Not to mention that when Charlotte was filming the film "Casimir Frontier", theoretically, she didn't spend even a dime, and what she got was almost pure profit.

"Then, let's make a business contract. I will let the housekeeper take charge of this matter."

Count Anthony gestured to the servant who had been waiting outside the door.

"At most, the day after tomorrow, Viscount Charlotte, you will be able to see the contract."

"There is no need to worry too much about this matter for the time being."

said Charlotte.

"I still want to slow down the playing time of the movie."

No matter how good the work itself is, enough publicity is a must.Therefore, before the movie is officially broadcast, it is necessary to build momentum, and of course it is necessary to buy a navy.

Moreover, there is actually an immature idea in Charlotte's mind, that is, he has thought about moving the set of fan circles in his previous life to the land of Casimir.

Although most people are prejudiced against the so-called "fan circle girls", what you cannot deny is that when "fan circle girls" spend money for their idols, they often spare no effort, and never Do not consider too much cost.

Using the work itself to drive the surrounding "rice circle economy" is a business method that Charlotte has used badly in his previous life, but in the land of Casimir, he has never seen anyone use this similar move, so he Looking forward to being the first to eat crabs.

"Viscount Charlotte, if possible, let's visit the theater tomorrow."

Count Anthony smiled and extended the invitation.

"I think you must also want to see what my theater looks like."

"can."

Charlotte nodded, and then the two sides shook hands lightly and friendly.

And before Charlotte led the forester out of the living room, Count Anthony still couldn't help saying another word in Charlotte's ear.

"Viscount Charlotte, if possible, can you bring the Knight of Light with you?"

"It's not impossible, it's just..."

"I don't mean anything superfluous, absolutely nothing, I'm almost 60 years old now."

Count Anthony smiled and shook his head.

"I just want to see how my former benefactor and idol, his descendants are doing now."

Charlotte hesitated for a second.

"Okay, as you wish."

......

Because of the successful negotiation, after returning to her castle, Charlotte still maintained a pretty good mood.But after W came in front of him with Senomi and whispered something to him, his mood began to change.

"What did you say, commercial espionage?"

Charlotte frowned slightly.

"Where did you get this news?"

"My sister, I know everything."

W has an inscrutable look on his face.

"The little tricks of those spies make me feel ridiculous."

"You are a devil, not a lynx, and the adaptation is not a random compilation. You should be responsible for speaking like this."

"What are you talking about, little Charlotte?"

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything."

Charlotte waved her hand.

"Let's get back to the topic, W, tell me first what this commercial spy is all about."

"A commercial spy is a commercial spy. The literal meaning shouldn't be difficult to understand, right?"
