Rebirth of Xiangjiang - 1978

The first time I met little Alan Ryder was in his office.

Besides little Alan Ryder, there is another person in the office.

"This is Chairman Alan Ryder, and this is Mr. Landry, the head of Fox's distribution department."

After Lewan brought Lin Daoqiu into the office, he introduced their identities to him.

Lin Daoqiu smiled and nodded to the two of them as a greeting, then walked to sit opposite little Alan Ryder.

Although they had been mentally prepared before, when little Alan Ryder and Landry saw Lin Daoqiu, they couldn't help showing expressions of surprise.

Even if he puts on a decent suit, Lin Daoqiu still looks too young.

If they had not collected Lin Daoqiu's information before, these two guys would have thought that the young man who appeared in front of them must be a liar.

It was obviously little Alan Ryder who invited Lin Daoqiu over, but when the other party sat in front of him, little Alan Ryder was so surprised that he forgot to speak.

In the end, it was Lin Daoqiu who took the initiative to speak and broke the calm at the scene.

"Chairman Alan, you asked me to come here. What's the matter?"

Little Alan Ryder came back to his senses after hearing Lin Daoqiu's question.

At Lin Daoqiu's age, it can be said that almost all of them are just college students.

Let alone making a movie, they don't even know how the movie is shot.

Lin Daoqiu is only nineteen years old and has already made many blockbuster movies. It can be said that this guy is simply a genius.

What's even more incredible to young Alan Ryder is that the other party is not even twenty years old yet. This is really terrifying.

"I heard that your relationship with Ashley fell apart?"

Little Alan Ryder doesn't like to beat around the bush, he prefers a more direct way of communication.

At that time, Lucas was looking for people to invest in "Star Wars", but no one was willing to invest in him.

I have to say that Lucas was very lucky. When he found Alan Ryder Jr., he actually agreed to invest in him.

And the reason given by little Alan Ryder is also very strange.

"I have no idea what you're talking about, but I think you're a genius."

It seems like a very willful sentence, but it is precisely because of these words of Alan Ryder that a legendary movie was born.

And Lin Daoqiu also likes the direct style of little Alan Ryder.

"To be precise, I wanted a 50/50 sequel to Mission: Impossible, but Ashley said no."

Lin Daoqiu knew very well that this must be news deliberately released by people around Ashley.

But the person who broke the news would definitely not be Ashley, because it would not be good for him.

It seems like someone in Warner wants to drive him out, or is unwilling to allow him to continue to cooperate with Ashley.

"I can tell you that no Hollywood company will agree to your request, including us."

After little Alan Ryder finished speaking, Lin Daoqiu did not show any surprise or surprise.

It seemed that he took this for granted, and when little Alan Ryder finished speaking, he smiled and nodded.

"Actually, the chairman and I both admire Mr. Lin. It's impossible to split the score evenly, but we can increase it to 35%. If Mr. Lin is willing to join Fox, you will receive unprecedented support."

Instead of cooperating with Lin Daoqiu, it is better to recruit him to Fox. This is the best thing for Fox.

But it's a pity that Lin Daoqiu never thought about joining any Hollywood company, so Landry's words were in vain.

"If this is Chairman Alan's final decision, then I can only say that I am sorry."

Lin Daoqiu shrugged at the other party with regret.

"Mr. Lin, don't reject us in such a hurry. Maybe you can think about it for a while. Then you will believe that the price we offer you is definitely the highest."

This sentence is obviously nonsense. As long as the box office of "Mission: Impossible" continues to rise, some people will be tempted to talk to Lin Daoqiu.

So now the time is on Lin Daoqiu's side, and Landry and Alan Ryder just want to fool Lin Daoqiu to see if they can deceive him.

"I'm sorry, you two. I won't agree to this condition, but since you two are so sincere in talking to me, I will give in, 45%."

Lin Daoqiu stretched out four fingers towards Alan Ryder.

Although Alan Ryder looked expressionless, Lin Daoqiu's concession actually made him very happy.

After all, the best thing to do is to talk. What he was most worried about was that Lin Daoqiu would not be able to talk even a single word, so it would be very difficult to cooperate with him.

"No, 45% is still too much. 35% is our final bottom line, and this will not change."

Alan Ryder shook his head, this time he was the one insisting.

He felt that Lin Daoqiu was still young after all. If it were him, he would definitely insist on a 50-50 split, and then wait for the other party to mention 40% before giving in.

The hope of such a negotiation is definitely much greater than it is now, but unfortunately Lin Daoqiu's negotiation experience is far from enough.

"If that's the case, then I have nothing to say unless you are willing to bear all the filming funds."

Lin Daoqiu's attitude is also very firm. If it is only 35%, he will never agree.

"No, no, no, Mr. Lin, if we need to bear all the filming funds, then we can only give you a 20% share."

Alan Ryder is not stupid. God knows how much it costs Lin Daoqiu to make a movie.

Moreover, Fox will have to be responsible for distribution and promotion in the future. In this case, it can only get 65% of the share. Unless Alan Ryder is mentally rusty, he will do this.

"In that case, there is nothing to talk about. I am very happy to meet you two. I hope we have the opportunity to have tea together next time."

After Lin Daoqiu finished speaking, he stood up and seemed to be planning to leave.

But then Landry suddenly spoke and asked Lin Daoqiu to stay.

"Mr. Lin, maybe we can find another way to cooperate."

Lin Daoqiu and Alan Ryder turned their heads to Landry almost at the same time.

"I think "Mission: Impossible" is quite suitable for the Hollywood style. If Mr. Lin is willing, you can sell us the copyright of this drama."

Landry's implication was that since Lin Daoqiu was unwilling to cooperate and could not agree on a share of the drama, he might as well sell the rights to the drama to Fox.

Lin Daoqiu had never thought about this possibility before, because this drama is so profitable, selling it at this time is simply a fool's errand.

But Landry's proposal made him very excited. After all, making a movie takes too long. If he could get a large amount of money immediately, Lin Daoqiu would seriously consider the other party's proposal.

"I wonder how much Fox is willing to pay for the rights to my show?"
