Reborn Capital Empire

Chapter 60 Unexpected Rejection

…

"Generally speaking, for a movie's box office, the cinema share will account for 50% of the total box office. Then I will make a bet with Mr. Brown with 50% of the 30 million." After a pause, Guo Shouyun's eyes suddenly Sharper than ever before," AMC doubled the number of screens for "Spirit: Ghost Records" on the existing basis. In a minimum 45-day run time, if "Smart" can gross more than $50 million at the box office , then we calculate it according to the normal share of distribution and cinema. If the final total box office does not exceed 50 million US dollars, then we will take the percentage of the total box office based on the percentage of the movie box office generated by AMC cinema. 50% of the vacancy will be compensated for you!"

"The Gambling Agreement!"

Peter Brown said solemnly.

"That's right!"

Looking at the calm and confident young man in front of him, he doesn't look like a fledgling business novice. Peter Brown's heart finally raised the importance of him. It doesn't matter if it's madness or confidence in your own movies. Those who dare to pursue their own interests with the greatest ability and means are worthy of respect.

"I reject!"

After thinking for a while in silence, Peter Brown slowly shook his head.

Guo Shouyun sank in his heart and said solemnly: "Why? This gambling agreement is 'beneficial but not harmful' to AMC!"

"Indeed! However, I still refuse!"

At this moment, a look of anger finally appeared on Guo Shouyun's face, and his sharp eyes met Peter Brown's firm eyes unceremoniously.

He asked himself that he had shown enough sincerity for this cooperation, and even took the risk for the other party. Unexpectedly, it was still rejected. The originally ample confidence has been hit, and of course it will make people feel angry.

Looking at the two people's eyes colliding and confronting each other in mid-air, and looking at the solemn expressions of the two, Wendy Solo, who was sitting on the side, couldn't help showing a trace of worry on her pretty face, for fear that Guo Shouyun would press Can't stand it. Nineteen-year-olds, no matter how successful they have been in their careers, will still give people the stereotype of being irritable, irritable, and not calm enough.

"Ha ha!"

Guo Shouyun suddenly smiled, breaking the extremely dignified atmosphere in the office.

"Since Mr. Brown is unwilling to cooperate, then we will leave!"

Peter Brown also stood up.

"I believe we will have many opportunities for cooperation in the future. By the way, I am looking forward to the second part of Mr. Guo's "National Treasure"! I look forward to the day when Mr. Guo puts it on the screen. At that time, I will definitely set aside enough for Mr. Guo screen!" Peter Brown smiled after nodding.

Glancing at him, Guo Shouyun smiled indifferently, shook hands with Peter Brown with grace and courtesy, and left the office with Wendy Solo.

Looking at the backs of the two until they disappeared, Peter Brown smiled and sighed.

"Nineteen years old, still too tender after all! ... Mina?"

"Boss?"

The blond female secretary who had been sitting next to him and participated in the entire negotiation came over.

"Notify Alex and ask him to add fifty screens to Matrix Pictures' "Smart: Ghost Recording"!"

"Add fifty screens?"

Mina was stunned, didn't she just refuse?

"Go!"

Peter Brown didn't explain much, just waved his hand.

Mina nodded in confusion, then turned around and walked out.

"Tenderness is tender, but when it's time to invest, you still have to invest. After all, in the film industry, there are still many times to deal with in the future. Especially...he still holds the copyrights of many best-selling books!"

…

Walking out of AMC's office building, the smile on Guo Shouyun's face disappeared instantly. There was a gloomy look on his handsome face. In fact, according to the box office performance of "Smart: Ghost Recording" in memory, he can continue to increase on the basis of 50 million US dollars. But Peter Brown's firm, slightly mocking eyes made him dismiss the idea.

Guo Shouyun knew very well that once he acted too eagerly, he would fall into the inferior position in the negotiation. It will even give the other party a bad impression of "brainless" and "don't understand the film industry at all". Even in the end, the box office of "Smart: Ghost Recording" allowed him to win the bet, and it is estimated that it will give people a "just luck" evaluation.

Therefore, after a comprehensive consideration, he resisted the desire to increase the price. Although he is just a fledgling, he wants to leave the image of a wise but courageous entrepreneur, not an image of an "irrational lunatic" and a "nouveau riche".

In this world, few of the top elites and entrepreneurs are willing to cooperate with the nouveau riche.

"Called the hotel and refunded it, and we bought a plane ticket and went back to Los Angeles!"

After getting on the taxi, Guo Shouyun said in a deep voice.

"Boss, this is the first negotiation today, so it's normal if it doesn't work out. We still have a chance later...!"

After waving his hand to interrupt her, Guo Shouyun shook his head, "Peter Brown's eyes tell me that there is no chance!"

Seeing his silence, Wendy Solo said nothing after a while. The two came to the airport together, and after booking a flight to Los Angeles at 1 p.m., they found a place to have lunch.

"call!"

Just before boarding the plane, looking back at Kansas City, which was like a dragon crawling behind him, Guo Shouyun let out a long sigh and his face finally returned to normal.

"The smooth sailing in my career in the six months after my rebirth made me too self-righteous. A few setbacks almost made me unbalanced. It's still too tender!" After a wry smile appeared on his face, he shook his head slightly and looked beside him. From time to time, she looked at her Wendy Solo and smiled at the other party, "I made you worry!"

Seeing the familiar and confident smile on Guo Shouyun's face again, Wendy Solo breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, she couldn't help raising her plain white hand and patted her towering chest.

"You scared me to death with your drooping face just now. I've never seen you like this before! ... By the way, now that you've adjusted your emotions, should we go back and prepare for the second negotiation?"

"No!" Guo Shouyun shook his head, "Although I can't guess the reason yet, Peter Brown's eyes and attitude have clearly told me the result."

"Jingle Bell…!"

Hearing the phone ringing, Guo Shouyun took it out and looked, "Kevin's phone number?"

"Boss, good news! Alex Sandra, the director of AMC's projection department, just called and will give us 50 more screens when "Smart: Ghost Record" is released!"

"AMC? Are you sure?" Guo Shouyun's eyes narrowed, a look of surprise on his face.

"Yes!"

"Besides that, what else did they say?" Guo Shouyun said after a moment of silence.

"there is none left!"

"By the way, have you got any results from contacting Carmichael Cinema?" Guo Shouyun nodded and said.

"There are results!"

"Success?"

"Of course! This kind of thing is only good for Carmike Cinemas, but not harmful. How could they disagree! Boss, where is it? AMC Cinemas must have agreed long ago?"

"No, they refused!" Guo Shouyun said indifferently.

"Er?...Rejected? How could it be rejected? Our 'gambling agreement' has nothing to lose to them at all? Besides, how could refusing give us fifty extra screens?"

"This is exactly what I'm thinking about." Guo Shouyun frowned.

"Didn't they say why?"

"No!...By the way, is there any news from Buddy?"

"not yet!"

"Got it. I'll be back in Los Angeles this afternoon, and you'll prepare me a detailed profile of the AMC theater chain, and Peter Brown. I want to know where we're losing?"

"Yes, I'm going to prepare right away!"

After hanging up the phone, he looked at Wendy Solo who was looking at him curiously, "Kevin called just now, and Carmichael agreed to our gambling agreement!"

"Agreed? Then why would AMC refuse?"

Guo Shouyun shook his head thoughtfully, "I want to know too. By the way, Kevin just said on the phone that ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ agreed to give us 50 more screens!"

Seeing Wendy's widened eyes and the confusion on her pretty face, Guo Shouyun couldn't help sighing in his heart, "What kind of medicine is Peter Brown selling in this gourd?"

…

The room of about 40 square meters is separated from the outside office area by a circle of thick glass. In this small office, two brown bookshelves are placed against the wall, on which are stacked "The Wealth of Nations" and "Social Economics". Books like Derivatives and Innovation, The Economic History of the United States, The Presbyterian Church of Zion and Modern Israel, The Wars of Religion, etc., are apparently frequently turned over by the degree of paper depreciation.

In front of the two bookshelves is a large desk. There are HP computers and office equipment such as printers. There are two chairs on the inside and outside of the desk. On the left side of the desk, there are three single-seat reception sofas. In addition to these limited furniture, plus the water dispenser and a few pots of green plants in the corner, there is nothing to mention in the entire office.

"Dong dong...!"

"Come in!"

Wendy Solo, who pushed in the door with the documents in her arms, looked at her without looking up. She was still lying on the desk where the documents were stacked, frowning tightly. color.

"Boss, is Mr. Morris back?"

"Oh?"

When Guo Shouyun raised his head, a pair of bloodshot eyes appeared in front of Wendy Solo.

"How's it going with the Ximanke Cinema?"

"It went well. They promised to give us double the number of screens on top of the original!"

"That's good!"

Guo Shouyun nodded.
