I Have A Super USB Drive - Chapter 134
Chapter 131 Cooperation
As for the third “Super Out of Control 2”, Chen Chen is preparing to make another attempt on the ability of the USB flash drive.
In a box of a five-star hotel in Los Angeles, Chen Chen sat casually on the seat, knocking on the laptop in front of him.
There seemed to be sandalwood in the room, but when he smelled these smells, Chen Chen inevitably frowned.
After a while, the door of the private room was knocked gently.
“Please come in.”
Chen Chen did not raise his head, but said lightly.
Suddenly, two good-looking waitresses walked in.
One of them is holding a silver plate, on which is placed a bottle of Romani Conti, and the other is holding several crystal containers that have been wiped shiny.
“Sir, the wine you want.”
The older waitress politely said, “Do you need to open it for you now?”
“Let’s open it, but when the person I invite comes, remember not to pour me wine, just add water to my glass.” Chen Chen said without looking up.
“Yes.”
Although Chen Chen’s request was a bit strange, it was at best attributed to the quirks of the rich. The waiter who had received strict training did not hesitate to follow suit.
As the dust-covered wine for 21 years was opened, the room suddenly filled with a rich fragrance-this is not the cheap counterfeit in the bar, but the real Romani Conti 2002.
In this year, Romani Conti produced 6,100 bottles of wine, and this is one of them.
After pulling out the cork, the elderly waiter expertly observed the wine inside under the light and confirmed that the sediment did not float up, then slowly poured the wine into the decanter.
Suddenly, a ruby-like liquid flowed out of the bottle mouth, emitting a magnificent color under the reflection of the overhead light…
The exquisite carpets, gorgeous crystal lamps, and the magnificent decorations in the room, coupled with the rich and strong aroma of wine, together depict a picturesque dream scene.
However, just as the waiter was pouring the red wine cautiously, a messy footstep suddenly came from outside the door, and Chen Chen raised his head.
The next second, the door of the box was knocked again.
“Please come in.”
Without Chen Chen’s reminder, another waiter opened the door of the box. At this time, two men of European and American descent were standing outside the door.
“Romane Conti, my God, I am not in the wrong box, am I?”
The two men are not very old, up to thirty-five and sixty. As they entered the box, one of them blew his whistle, “This smell can’t be wrong, let me guess which year it is, 10 Year? 2008?”
“It is from 02.”
Chen Chen stood up from his seat, “I am indeed inviting you. The two of you did not go to the wrong box.”
“Josh Trunk.” The careless man among them shook Chen Chen’s hand. “The 2002 Romani Conti is not cheap, you are so polite.”
“Nothing, I chose this year because I was born in this year.”
Chen Chen shrugged, and turned to look at another horse-faced man, “You are Mr. Max Landis, right? I’ve been admired for a long time.”
“Thank you.” Another horse-faced man was obviously absent-minded.
After pouring the wine into the decanter, several waiters again served the fruit plate and then retreated, leaving space for three people.
“I believe you two already know the reason why I invited you here.”
Chen Chen took out a contract from the table and handed it to the carefree man. This man is no one else but Josh Trunk, the director of the super runaway movie.
After reading this contract, Trunk raised his eyebrows, and then handed it to the horse-faced man on the side, the screenwriter who had lost control at the time, Max Landis.
From Chen Chen’s view, it is obvious that the relationship between the two is not very good, and it can even be said that there is some hatred. At this time, it is just maintaining the surface politeness.
After handing over the contract to Landis, Trunk smiled and said, “It’s really surprising that you are willing to spend tens of millions to buy the movie rights from the vampire of Fox Pictures. This is comparable to a movie. Investment, does it have such potential in your mind?”
“I just like this movie so much.”
Chen Chen said solemnly, “When I saw this movie for the first time, I was amazed by it, because it almost covers all my childhood dreams, so I have been looking forward to one day that it will produce a second movie. .”
“So after you learned that the results were hopeless, you started your own investment in shooting ideas?” Trunk added with a smile.
Chen Chen nodded, and personally poured wine for the two of them, “Although the sober time is not enough, it is almost time to taste…”
The two took the goblet and thanked them.
“I believe that for both of you, this movie is like your children,” Chen Chen continued, “Although I have bought the copyright now, if I can choose, I still hope that the second movie will still be performed by both of you. Fence.”
After speaking, Chen Chen took out two contracts again and handed them to them. “Mr. Trunk, this time I will invest 100 million U.S. dollars for the pre-shooting of the film. If it is not enough, I can add more. As for the salary, I An extra 10 million dollars will be paid to you, and this money can be credited at any time, regardless of the final box office of the movie, as long as you do your best.”
“As for Mr. Landis.”
Chen Chen looked at the horse-faced man, “As the screenwriter of this movie, I offered you a price of three million. You only need to make an excellent story within the framework I gave. Can you do it?”
The two looked at each other when they heard this, and they were a little surprised by Chen Chen’s handwriting. The price Chen Chen gave was almost the price of first-line directors and screenwriters in Hollywood.
“I am very satisfied with the price. As long as there are no other special requirements, I have no problem here.” Trunk said readily.
“and many more……”
However, Landis on the side groaned, “What you just said about giving the framework means that I can’t make original creations?”
“Yes.”
Chen Chen nodded and solemnly said, “I will give a rough frame, such as the beginning and ending of the second part. You can fill in the frame with appropriate details, but you can’t violate it.”
Landis heard the words and fell silent.
Looking at Landis, who seemed to be struggling in his heart, Chen Chenhao took a sip of water without any persuasion.
The reason why he hired two people again was just for an extra layer of insurance.
Since the first film made by the two of them can be put into the USB flash drive, now that the director, screenwriter, and even the starring role remain unchanged, the second movie should also be accepted by the USB flash drive… right?
As for Landis’ inner struggle, Chen Chen actually knew it.
As early as ten years ago, Landis suffered a similar loss. When “Out of Control” became popular all over the world, he originally wrote the second script, but the plot of the second was too dark and the film was worried. Affected the box office, so let him modify.
However, Landis, who was persistent at the time, was unwilling to modify any plot, and eventually angered the producer and kicked him from the crew.
“It’s time to mature, Landis.”
Trank suddenly sighed Although he was very disdainful of Landis’s life style, he still reminded him of this talented old partner.
Hearing Trunk’s persuasion, the struggle in Landis’s eyes slowly faded. He raised his head, his expression sullen, “Understood, I will do it according to your request…”
“Very good.”
Chen Chen applauded when he heard the words, then held up a glass of water and held it in front of the two of them, “So happy to cooperate?”
The two also picked up the red wine and lightly touched each other, “Happy cooperation.”
After the three people met, the atmosphere was obviously eager. Chen Chen opened the notebook on the side again and said to Landis, “Mr. Landis, then tell me the original setting of the movie. I will follow the original setting. Determine the next plot.”
“Are you going to compose a story frame?” Both of them were suddenly a little surprised.
“Yes, this is my wish.” Chen Chen smiled.
“Well, if you insist.”
Landis scratched his head, “Actually, after so long, many of the assumptions of the year have been blurred. Please allow me to sort out…”
Speaking, Landis drank the red wine in the goblet, then poured himself a glass again, and then slowly said, “This story still starts with the crystal from the outside world…”
