Chapter 27. [Second Bucket Gold Plan]
Since ancient times, there is a term in Chinese traditional antiques trading market called "pick-up", which means that you can buy valuable antiques at very cheap prices, and the sellers often don't know.
In fact, there is also a saying of "pick-ups" in the film trading market. For example, in the future, China 's superb drama "Man is on the Road," the director and screenwriter of this play used books to find investment everywhere. Fang, but no one took care of it, and was finally fancy by a company, released after the shooting, a small investment of 30 million to get 1.2 billion box office! It can be said that this is a big leak.
In the history of American cinema, there have been many leaks, but to say the most miracle of them, I have to mention a play, that is, "The Witch Blair"!
"Witch Blair" is an experimental surname movie shot by a college student using a dv machine. The total investment is only 20,000 US dollars, but the total global box office has reached a staggering 250 million US dollars!
This is a miracle.
If you have to say why this film was successful, then there is only one reason. These silly fork student directors were fortunate to have touched the aunt of the goddess of fortune, filmed the film into a "pseudo-documentary", and became a "pseudo-documentary" in the future. The ancestors of the "documentary" movie, "The Ghost Shadow Record", "Smart", and "Deep into the House" are the successors of this model.
It's 1998, and Witch Blair is about to be filmed, but it hasn't been released yet.
Yi Feiyang's plan is very simple and straightforward. No matter what method is used, the copyright of this play must be obtained!
If the method used by Yi Feiyang's first barrel of gold was "blackmail", then this time, the method he used was "fraud"!
I am mean, I am shameless!
I can do whatever I can to achieve my goal!
Yi Feiyang is to get enough of his own capital in the golden United States!
Marx said that the original accumulation of capital was bloody. Sorry, Yi Feiyang felt that the accumulation of his original capital had become more civilized.
In the past few days, Yi Feiyang asked Fat Jack, and Bunny Bill to collect all the information about "The Witch Blair", including the two college students who directed the play, Daniel Merrick and Eduardo Sanchi Full details of the two are here.
Jack and Bill didn't understand. Why did China Yi suddenly become interested in these two fledgling college students? Is it because they just made a low-cost small movie? I heard that this movie was shot with a dv camera. It's so rough and simple, what's so strange.
Do not understand, do not understand, the two still follow Yi Feiyang's instructions, and soon contacted the two college students. After a conversation, the two parties made an appointment to meet in a cafe near Hollywood three days later.
On the day of the meeting, Yi Feiyang deliberately dressed up in order to make himself look more glamorous, like a successful businessman, not a shabby guy. You know, in the United States, although everyone is equated with equality, people still feel poor and love the rich. When you look brightly dressed, they will give you a high opinion.
As for the two guys, Jack and Bill, dressed as Yi Feiyang and his classmates, fat and thin, they complement each other.
The cafe seemed very lively.
Yi Feiyang arrived early and ordered three cups of coffee to wait.
Time passed slowly, and people kept opening the cafe door, but it was not Yi Feiyang who was waiting.
Yi Feiyang was okay, and Jack Jack, the fat man, and Bill Bill were a little restless.
"Shit, these college students, what they do is so sloppy! No matter whether they are dating or homework, they have never been active!" Because Bill was fired from the school, he has jealousy about the university, and even less for those college students Feel good.
"Let's wait and see, maybe they will come soon." Fat Jack comforted.
"Wait, maybe these guys are planning to release our pigeons! I think I'll call them and ask."
"That's fine, if we don't come, we won't have to wait any longer!"
...
Yi Feiyang tapped the table with his fingers.
"No need," he said, "we'll wait another ten minutes, if we really don't come, we'll leave!"
Yi Feiyang's words are beyond doubt.
Helpless, the two guys had to fall on the chair again and continue to wait.
Seven or eight minutes passed.
Yi Feiyang, who was originally determined, was also a little irritable deep in his heart, but he tried to control his emotions and tried not to let his emotions show.
Time began to count down. When Yi Feiyan sighed and decided to end the date, the cafe's door opened and four people came in from the outside. Two men and two women were dressed casually. Not cynical young people.
At first, the freckled white young man chewed gum and looked at Yi Feiyang, then raised his hand and said, "Hey man, do you want to meet us?" With that, I asked myself and my friends without asking Sit down.
"Hello, I'm Yi Feiyang." Yi Feiyang held out his hand.
The white young man grinned and shook hands with him. "I'm Daniel, he's Eduardo ... you can also call him a Cuban, because he's an authentic Cuban!" Then he asked, " Man, are you Korean, say yourself? "
"No, I am Chinese." Yi Feiyang said.
"Chinese? Very old and mysterious people. But I still like myself, I like their ninjas!" Daniel gestured twice for the darts. "They are handsome in running, and they are very handsome!" "
"Oh damn, I also like ninjas, they are more handsome with swords! I have a Japanese sword in my hand, and I heard that it is still an antique from the Shogunate period!" Said another youthful Edado.
"No, man, you have such a baby, why don't I know?"
...
The two guys talked to themselves and left Yi Feiyang aside.
As for the two white girls beside them, they nodded and glared at Yi Feiyang.
For them, they have never seen such a handsome and handsome Chinese man. Those Chinese students in the university were either low-handed or inferior, and even lowered their heads when they walked, fearing that others might laugh at them.
Seeing that Daniel and Ed Yaduo were so innocent, Jack was a little bit overwhelmed by Bill and was about to explode.
Yi Feiyang was fine, took off his coat, hung on a chair, lit a cigarette, raised his legs, and listened with interest to Daniel's "fart" each other.
Looking at Yi Feiyang's graceful pose like the movie "The Godfather", the two girls even brightened their eyes.
Daniel and Eduardo talked for a while, and then they turned back and said to Yi Feiyang, "Oh yes, man, would you tell us not to just drink coffee today?"
Yi Feiyang laughed, and the topic came.
"My assistant should have told you that I am very interested in the dv movie you shot."
"Our dv movie? Oh, your news is very well informed! We just finished shooting this dv, and the editing is half done!" Daniel smiled.
"If you can, I want to pay $ 30,000 for the copyright in your play!" Yi Feiyang said with a breath.
Daniel glanced at Eduardo, and Eduardo looked at Yi Feiyang and asked, "Are you from the movie company?"
"No, I am not."
"Do you have your own cinema?"
"NO, I have not."
...
"Ha, man, we don't understand. You are not from a movie company and you don't have your own movie theater. Why do you buy our copyright?"
"I already said that I'm interested in your play."
"But our play is an experimental film."
"I know this."
"We filmed with dv."
"I know that, too."
...
Daniel and Edado looked at each other.
Daniel smiled suddenly, "Although you are interested, we will not sell you the copyright!"
"Why?" Yi Feiyang asked.
"It's very simple. You are asking too little!"
"If I remember it well, it seems that your total cost of this movie is only 20,000 US dollars. If you change hands and make 10,000 yuan, is it enough?"
"Of course not enough, if we take this movie to the theater, maybe we can get more!" Daniel said slyly.
"Yeah, this is our hard work, and we will never sell it to you easily!" Said Edyard.
Yi Feiyang smiled, "how much do you want ?!"
"One price, 200,000!" Daniel Lion said loudly. "Only at this price, we will consider it."
"Yes, not even one child!" Aidyado said. "At least our hard work is worth the price!"
The two talked so confidently that it seemed as if Yi Feiyang had settled down.
"200,000?" Yi Feiyang hit the table lightly with his hand.
The bunny Bill and the fat Jack next to each other are going crazy, don't agree, these two guys are thinking about money and going crazy!
They looked at Yi Feiyang anxiously, hoping he could reject it, but could Yi Feiyang be able to? !!
