027.【Second Pot of Gold Plan】

Since ancient times, there has been a term in the traditional Chinese antique market called "picking up leaks", which means buying valuable antiques at a very cheap price, and the seller is often unaware.

In fact, there is also a saying of "picking up leaks" in the film trading market, for example, in the future, China's very awesome drama "People in the Embarrassing Journey to Thailand", before the director and screenwriter of this drama took the book to find investors everywhere, but no one cared about it, and was favored by a company after filming, and released after filming, with a small investment of 30 million yuan, and obtained a box office of 1.2 billion! It can be said that this is a big leak.

And in the history of American films, there have been more than N leaks, but if you want to say the most miraculous of them, I have to mention one play, that is, "Blair the Witch"!

"Blair the Witch" is an experimental film shot by college students on DV cameras, with a total investment of only 20,000 US dollars, but the total global box office has reached a staggering 250 million US dollars!

It's a miracle, a miracle!

If you have to say why this drama is successful, then there is only one reason, these stupid student directors were lucky to touch the great aunt of Lady Luck and made the movie a "pseudo-documentary", and became the ancestor of the future "pseudo-documentary" films.

It's 1998, and "Blair the Witch" 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, he must also get the copyright of this play!

If the method used by Yi Feiyang in the first pot of gold was "blackmail", then this time, the means he used was "fraud"!

I'm mean, I'm shameless!

I can do whatever it takes to achieve my goals!

Yi Feiyang just wants to get enough of his own capital in the United States, which is full of gold!

Marx said that the primitive accumulation of capital is bloody, and Yi Feiyang feels that the accumulation of his primitive capital has become much more civilized.

In the past few days, Yi Feiyang asked Fat Jack and Rabbit Bill to collect all the information about "Blair the Witch", including all the information of the two college students who directed the play, Daniel Merrick and Adjado Sanchiz.

Jack and Bill don't understand, why would China suddenly be interested in these two fledgling college students? Is it because they made a low-budget movie? I heard that this movie was still shot with a DV camera, how rough, how shabby, what's so unusual.

If they don't understand, they still follow Yi Feiyang's instructions, and soon contact the two college students, and after some conversation, the two sides made an appointment to meet in a café near Hollywood three days later.

On the day of the meeting, Yi Feiyang deliberately dressed up in order to make himself look radiant, like the kind of successful businessman, not a shabby guy. You must know that although everyone is advertised as equal in the United States, people still hate the poor and love the rich, and when they see you dressed brightly, they will look up to you.

As for Jack and Bill, they are dressed as Yi Feiyang's sidekicks, one fat and one thin, but they also complement each other.

The café is very lively.

Yi Feiyang and the others arrived early, ordered three cups of coffee and waited.

Time passed slowly, and people kept pushing open the door of the café, but none of them were the people Yi Feiyang was waiting for.

Yi Feiyang is okay, Fat Jack is good rabbit Bill is already a little restless.

"Shit, these college students, what are you doing is so casual! Whether it's dating or handing in homework, I've never been positive! "Bill has a jealousy of college because he was expelled from school, and even less so for those college students.

"We'll wait and see, maybe they'll be here soon." Fat Jack comforted.

"What are you waiting for, maybe these guys were planning to release our pigeons! I think it's better to give them a call and ask. ”

"That's fine, if we really don't come, we don't have to wait any longer!"

……

Yi Feiyang tapped his fingers on the table.

"No need." He said, "We'll wait another ten minutes, and if we really don't come, we'll leave!" ”

Yi Feiyang's words are unquestionable.

Helplessly, the two guys had no choice but to fall on the chair again and continue to wait.

Another seven or eight minutes passed.

Yi Feiyang, who originally looked determined, was also a little irritable in his heart, but he tried his best to control his emotions and try not to let his emotions come out.

The time began to count down, and just when Yi Feiyang sighed and decided to end this date, the door of the café opened, and four people walked in from the outside, two men and two women, dressed very casually, and at first glance they were the kind of cynical young people who were not deeply involved in the world.

The white young man with freckles on his face looked at Yi Feiyang while chewing gum, and then raised his hand to greet him: "Hey man, are you going to meet us?" With that, he sat down with his friends uninvited.

"Hello, I'm Yi Feiyang." Yi Feiyang stretched out his hand.

The white young man grinned and shook his hand, "I'm Daniel, and I'm Adjado...... You can also call him a Cuban guy because he's a true Cuban! Then he asked, "Dude, are you Korean, Japanese?" ”

"No, I'm Chinese." Yi Feiyang said.

"Chinese? A very ancient and mysterious people. But I still like the Japanese, I love their ninjas! Daniel gestured two darts in a gesture, "They run very handsomely, and the dart movements are also handsome!" ”

"Oh shit, I like ninjas too, 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! Another young man, Adjado, laughed.

"No, man, you have such a treasure, why don't I know it?"

……

The two guys talked to themselves and directly left Yi Feiyang and them aside.

As for the two white girls beside them, they kept scratching their heads and making gestures at Yi Feiyang, throwing flattering eyes.

For them, they have never seen such a deep temperament and handsome Chinese man. Those Chinese students in the university are either low and frustrated, or have low self-esteem and no self-confidence, and even walk with their heads down, for fear that others will laugh at them.

Seeing that Daniel and Adjado were so unfocused, Jack couldn't help but be a little unbearable by Bill, and he was about to go crazy.

Yi Feiyang took off his coat, hung it on the chair, then lit a cigarette, crossed his legs, and listened with interest to Daniel and the two "fart" each other.

Looking at Yi Feiyang's elegant posture like the movie "The Godfather", the two girls' eyes lit up even more.

Daniel and Adjado talked to themselves for a while, and then they turned around and said to Yi Feiyang, "Oh yes, man, today you told us not to just drink coffee, right?" ”

Yi Feiyang smiled, and the main topic came.

"My assistant should have told you that I'm interested in the DV movies you made." Get straight to the point, don't hide it.

"Our DV movies? Hehe, you're very well-informed! We just finished filming this DV, and we're only halfway through the editing! Daniel smiled.

"If I could, I would like to pay $30,000 to buy the copyright to your play!" Yi Feiyang spat out a puff of cigarette and said.

Daniel glanced at Addiado, who looked at Yi Feiyang and asked, "Are you from the film company?" ”

"No, I'm not."

"You have your own movie theater?"

"No, I didn't."

……

"Ha, man, we don't understand, you're not from a film company, and you don't have your own movie theater, why do you want to buy our rights?"

"I've already said it, I'm very interested in your play."

"But our drama is a test film."

"I know this."

"We shot it on DV."

"I know that, too."

……

Daniel and Adjado look at each other.

Daniel suddenly smiled, "Although you are interested, we will not sell you the copyright!" ”

"For what?" Yi Feiyang asked.

"It's very simple, you are paying too little!"

"If I remember correctly, it seems that the total cost of your drama is only 20,000 US dollars, and if you change hands, you can earn enough 10,000 yuan, isn't it enough?"

"Of course it's not enough, if we take this drama to theaters, maybe we can get more!" Daniel said slyly.

"Yes, this is our hard work, and we will never sell it to you easily!" Adjado said.

Yi Feiyang smiled, "Then how much do you want?!" ”

"One price, two hundred thousand!" Daniel Lion opened his mouth and said, "Only at this price, we will consider it." ”

"Yes, you can't have one!" Adyado said, "Our hard work is at least worth the price!" ”

The two of them spoke confidently, as if they had decided to eat Yi Feiyang.

"Two hundred thousand?" Yi Feiyang gently tapped the table with his hand.

Bill the rabbit next to him and Jack the fat man are going crazy, don't agree, these two guys are crazy about money!

They looked at Yi Feiyang anxiously, hoping that he would be able to refuse, but would Yi Feiyang?!
