Chapter 560 This is simply a robbery!
"Oh my God, that's Berg, he actually talked to this young screenwriter in such a respectful tone!" The reporters who saw this scene opened their eyes in surprise, obviously not believing in the scene they saw.
In their minds, Berg is a world-class director. People like him take the initiative to talk to others and use this attitude, unless the other party is a very remarkable figure. How big is it? For example, even the president of the United States may not be qualified to let him do this.
But now, he was so polite to a young screenwriter that the reporters immediately realized that this was a big news. Various eye-catching titles began to flash in their minds, and the equipment in their hands also began to flash and make crackling sounds, recording this scene.
Berg was not concerned about the enthusiasm of these reporters at all. He still looked at Liu Yufan with a smile, waiting for his answer.
"Well, I'm very happy to accept your invitation, Mr. Berg, but it may not work now. You know, after the premiere, Director Zhang will have a celebration, and I am the screenwriter of this film. If I don't go, Zhang may be angry." Liu Yufan explained, thinking in his heart that he wanted to cheer up his appetite. After all, the other party is an international director, and his only bargaining chip is the script in his hand. If he doesn't get interested enough in this, Liu Yufan believes that he will definitely not get any advantage or even suffer losses in the subsequent negotiations. This is also some negotiation skills he has slowly learned after becoming the chairman.
"It's okay. I can wait until your celebration is over. I will stay in China for a few days this time and travel by the way. When will you have time? When will we chat again?" Berg said with a very nice temper.
These words made the reporters stunned again, when did the international director Berg become so kind?
Liu Yufan nodded to him again and expressed his gratitude for his understanding. Then he walked to the old Taoist who was waving to him, and actually left Berg there.
"This Liu Yufan is so awesome. He dares to be so ignorant of director Berg and ignores other people's invitations. In the global film industry, I'm afraid there are not many people. The reporters looked at Liu Yufan's background and sighed one by one.
At the celebration dinner, Lao Touzi looked at Liu Yufan and joked: "Yufan, you are very brave. You dare to show the big director Berg's face. You are not afraid of him trying to do it. Turn around and leave, and then you will lose a great opportunity." Looking at Liu Yufan, Lao Touzi joked.
"Brother Zhang, I didn't mean it, but in my eyes, whether it is an international director or a young director, they are treated equally. Everything comes first and then comes. We have an appointment for the matter between us, so we have to do this first. Come on, Brother Zhang, I'll give you a cup and wish our film a great success!" Liu Yufan said with a smile.
"Haha, okay, Yufan, I will appreciate yours. Come on, let's have this cup!" Lao Taozi said readily.
The celebration dinner ended happily. When Liu Yufan returned to the company, it was already past two o'clock in the second half of the night. Jiang Ya gently helped him back to his room to rest, and the two of them naturally had a lot of love and affection. During this period, seeing Yufan was busy with the company and the art training, she lost weight all over. Jiang Ya saw it and felt pain in her heart. Many times she proposed to go to the art training center to handle the matter by herself, but Liu Yufan had a tough attitude on this matter, but she didn't allow it. Jiang Ya knew in her heart that he was for her own good and was unwilling to let herself endure the bad intentions of the officials, but the more she did this, the more she felt that she was useless, like a vase, with her side, but she couldn't help with anything.
"Yufan, drink less alcohol outside in the future. You should pay attention to your health when you are young, otherwise you should feel uncomfortable in the future." Jiang Ya helped Liu Yufan to the bed, wiped his face with a hot towel, and said with some distress.
"Sister, you are so nice!" Liu Yufan grabbed Jiang Ya's tenderness and showed a satisfied smile on his face. Although they were with Jiang Ya, the two of them had never broken through the last level, this kind of warm feeling made Liu Yufan cherish it even more.
"Okay, I'm not honest after drinking so much wine. Go to bed obediently!" Jiang Ya knocked off the hand that was "making trouble" on her waist and said angrily.
In the next few days, Liu Yufan received several calls from Berg, but they all turned it off on the excuse of being busy. Liu Yufan is also the number one person in the entertainment industry who dares to whet Berg's appetite like this. However, he is not worried that Berg will lose patience. In the past two days, the release of "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" can only be described as "crazy". The simultaneous release of Europe and the United States, Nihong and Asia are full of box office almost every day, and the records are constantly refreshed, which makes countless people in the film industry stunned and call them crazy!
This situation naturally made Berg even more impatient. He had already seen that this young man was a magician with the ability to turn stones into gold. No matter what happened in this trip, he would have to get the script he wanted from him! He believed that as long as the script Liu Yufan's is good enough, he would definitely be able to make them into classics. He had the confidence to do so, because he was Berg! Berg, the only one in the world!
It seemed that Liu Yufan also felt embarrassed to always make Berg's appetite so popular. Finally, one afternoon a week later, Liu Yufan agreed to Berg's request.
Seeing Liu Yufan walking into the Western Restaurant with a calm look on his face, and the world-renowned director had been waiting there for a long time, and he looked patient and very good, Li Xin admired her boss with great spirits. Her boss is unique to the person who can make a world-class director pose in such a posture.
"Mr. Berg, I'm so sorry. I've been waiting for you these days. I'm really plagued by the company's mundane affairs and can't take time. I'm sorry." Liu Yufan said sorry to Berg, but there was no apology on his face. He sat down opposite Berg naturally and took a sip of water naturally.
"It's okay, I haven't had anything to do in the past two days. I just took this opportunity to visit Beijing. This is a very beautiful city." Berg smiled and praised.
"Indeed, this city is not only beautiful, but also magical." Liu Yufan said with a smile.
After the two of them talked about a lot of unnutrition, Berg finally put forward his own topic first.
"Liu, I'm here this time because of the last incident. I wonder if you are interested in working with me? You are a genius screenwriter, and I also have many advantages in filming. I think our combination will definitely create more benefits for us. How about let us create classics together?" Berg looked at Liu Yufan and said in a tempting tone.
"Haha, Mr. Gege, I am really grateful for your willingness to cooperate with me. You are a world-renowned director. It is a very honor for me to be able to cooperate with you. As far as I am concerned, I am very willing. However, when I was working with several domestic directors, the sharing model was different from the current standards, and it may be slightly higher. I wonder if Mr. Berg can accept it..." Liu Yufan deliberately said it very tactfully, but he already understood the meaning. Cooperation is OK, but I want to get more sharing.
"I wonder what the share ratio you want?" Berg was not surprised at the condition proposed by Liu Yufan. After all, he had something he was interested in and needed. It needed to generate value. Berg was still clear about this principle. He just hoped that the other party would not say a proportion that was so high that it was difficult for him to accept. Although he really wanted to get the other party's script, he did not want others to fool himself as a fool.
"Thirty percent." Liu Yufan smiled and said a number.
As soon as he finished speaking, Berg hadn't spoken much, but his assistant had already gasped!
Thirty percent, this ratio is really exaggerated for a screenwriter! You should know that there are too many places to invest in a movie from filming to screening. The actors' pay, sets, reviews, and publicity... all the fees will be astronomical, and the proportion of screenwriters' fees in a movie will never be too large. For ordinary books, just buy out directly, at most hundreds of thousands to millions. A particularly excellent book may adopt a share model, but in that case, at most three to five percent, and those who can reach eight percent are already a minority. And 30 percent? Oh my God, this is simply a robbery!
Just make up a story and do nothing, you will get 30% of the pure income of a movie? Is this young man too much appetite, or does he think his script is made of gold?
Berg's face was also a little bad. He came to talk to Liu Yufan with great sincerity, but he didn't expect that the other party would first stop him from seeing him. This time he met, he made such excessive requests. This really ignored him!
Despite this, he still suppressed his unhappiness and said, "Liu, is this price too high? After all, I can't confirm what kind of story the script in your hand is." Berg forced himself to calm down. If he had changed to another screenwriter, Berg really couldn't guarantee whether he would punch at each other. This was simply too bullying!
