Chapter 68 (1/2)
I was speechless all night.
Early the next morning, CHEN Ye got up early and wrote his own script. At this moment, Xie Tao also came to the office and began the telephone work arranged by CHEN Ye for him!
First of all, he established a film and Television Department and officially appointed Zhang Yifei as the director of the film and Television Department!
Secondly, he spent three and a half hours, entrusted a lot of relationships, and got the phone numbers of the most popular stars in the world in the past year. Of course, most of the numbers are owned by their agents, and only a few are owned by themselves.
Finally, he began to call. The first one to call was Leonardo DiCaprio, a world-class superstar.
Leonardo DiCaprio starred in Titanic in his early years. In 2016, he won the best actor in the plot of the 73rd American film and television Golden Globe Award and the 88th Oscar Best Actor Award for wilderness hunter. So far, the film remuneration has reached US $77 million!
”Hello, I'm Xie Tao from Huaxia tremble live. We have a script we want you to shoot. We know your pay and we can afford it. Do you have time...”
“China？ sorry，Idon＇tspeakChinese。 Myassistant，KasiBrowncanspeaksChinese。 I＇llputheronthephone。”（ Huaxia? Sorry, I can't speak Chinese. My assistant Kathy Brown can speak Chinese. I asked her to answer the phone.)
After Xie Tao waited patiently for a few minutes, a female voice came over the phone: ”Hello, who are you? Where did you get Xiao Li's phone? What can I do for you? ”
”Hello, I'm Xie Tao from Huaxia tremble live. We have a script that we want Leonardo to shoot. We can afford his $77 million film salary. If necessary, we can raise it a little more. Do you have time to come to Huaxia for negotiation?” Xie Tao repeated politely again.
”What? What did you just say? ”
”We want to find Leonardo to make a film. We can afford to pay for his film, but we can raise it!”
”It's not this sentence, it's the last sentence!”
”We're playing live...”
”Sorry, I'm not free. Why don't you make a live broadcast and make a movie when you're a live broadcasting company? Crazy! ”
“...”
”Pa!” The other party hung up without hesitation, leaving Xie Tao with a hooded face.
”Hey...”
He sighed and shook his head. The result was just what was expected. After drinking a cup of coffee, he continued to call the second international superstar, Johnny Depp!
In his early years, Johnny Depp won the Golden Globe Award nomination for Best Actor for his film Edward Scissorhands. Later, he won two Oscars for Best Actor for his series of Pirates of the Caribbean! $50 million!
”Hello, I'm Xie Tao from Huaxia tremble live broadcast. We have a script that we want you to shoot. We know your pay and we can afford it. Do you have time to come to our Huaxia for negotiation? We are willing to do our host's friendship for you!”
”I'm not Johnny Depp. I'm his agent Tracy Jacob. Tell me what you want and I'll tell him!”
Xie Tao was lucky this time. The other party seemed very polite and could speak Chinese.
”Hello, we are from Huaxia live broadcasting company. We recently established a film and Television Department and want to invite Johnny Depp to make a film in China. We know that his film salary is $50 million, and we can increase the price to $80 million!”
Xie Tao bluntly put forward the condition of adding film pay to the other party. His forthright got the favor of agent Tracy Jacob. The other party also said frankly: ”please send the script to my email later. By the way, I venture to ask more, what kind of character is the protagonist character you arranged for John?”
”Well...”
Xie Tao hesitated for a while, and finally decided to tell the truth: ”our script is still writing, and John is not the man, but the man three...”
”Doodle doodle...”
The other party hung up directly.
”....” Xie Tao.
......
After all the calls, Xie Tao suddenly found a very serious problem. None of these international superstars promised to cooperate, which made him feel that his business negotiation ability, which he had always been proud of, suddenly lost its function at this moment!
He called Chen ye back in frustration and told him the truth.
”Well, I see.”
CHEN Ye looked at the right hand who had been writing the script, yawned and said lazily:
”Forget it, let's choose our actors from China! Well, the acting skills are almost. When new people are trained, it's a big deal. I'll write the script better and improve the film shooting techniques. Well, in this way, you can choose from the most popular powerful film emperors and empresses in China! ”
