Chapter 1206: Canceling the cooperation
Lin chuxue left with Auntie LAN and Manman, not caring that the security guards would come.
Director Jackson was left behind, howling in pain as he yelled,””You will regret this! Do you think that I can’t deal with you after you quit acting? Just you wait, B * tch! Just you wait!”
Producer li was also very angry. This was a big director that the company had hired with great difficulty, but who knew that Lin chuxue’s people would disfigure him like this?
“Miss Lin, do you think it’s a problem for you to just leave like this?”
“If you want to find a lawyer, compensation, or a lawsuit, you can come to my house. I’m always there, but I don’t have time to listen to him bark. I’m in Villa No. 88 in the rich area. If you need anything, you can come to me.” Lin chuxue said and left without looking back.
“Compensation, my ass! I want to sue!” Jackson was furious.
Producer li helped him up.”Sir, you’d better go to the hospital to get your wound bandaged. You can’t stop the bleeding. The company will make the decision for you. Don’t worry, in this country, no one can shake our position in the entertainment industry.”
Jackson couldn’t just continue to feel the pain, so after the security guards came, he went to the hospital first, but he really couldn’t forgive Lin chuxue. He felt that this woman had no awareness.
In the hospital.
Jackson flipped the fruits on the table in a rage and shouted at producer li,””Don’t give me that. If you don’t give me an explanation, I’m not going to shoot this movie anymore. I’m the one who came up with the script, and I’m not short of investors. Without you, I’ll find other companies with sincerity. This woman opened a mouth on my face. Where am I supposed to put my face? If you can’t make the decision, then ask your boss to come over. If this matter can’t be settled, I’ll return to China, and you’ll have to bear all the costs of the breach of contract. Just wait for my lawyer’s letter. ”
…
Producer li didn’t know why his boss hadn’t called yet, so he couldn’t express anything to Jackson. He could only ask,””What kind of explanation do you want?”
“Sue that woman and ban her!” “You guys shut her out in the country, I’ll use my connections to shut her out internationally! I want her to regret what she did, and I want her to personally come and repent in front of me!”
Producer li,”she’s out of the industry, so how can she be banned?” She doesn’t rely on this to make a living now. We can’t smash her rice bowl. If she’s still an artiste, then I have a way to invite her without you telling me. The point is, she doesn’t fall for it. I’ve said it before, this woman might be difficult to invite. ”
“Is there no other way if you don’t eat this? My request is very simple. Listen, if you want this blockbuster to continue, you’d better stand on my side. I’m very angry right now. I’ve never been so disrespected by a woman in any country in the world. This is the first time, and I feel very uncomfortable! I can’t stand this!” Jackson roared.
Producer li looked at his phone and still didn’t receive a response. He said to Jackson’s assistant,””Take care of him. I’ll go back to the company for a while. I’ll see how I can help you with this.”
After that, he went back to the company and barged into his boss’s office.
The boss stood on the floor-to-ceiling glass window counter with his back facing him, looking at the city scenery outside the window. He was smoking a cigar and wearing a jacket shirt, with smoke rising from the kitchen.
“Boss Ma, I called your assistant and told him about this woman, Lin chuxue. Do you know?”
Boss Ma, who had his back to him, nodded. He took the cigar from his mouth and sighed.””Is that foreigner trying to cause trouble for miss Lin?”
“Yup,” Producer li: “he said that if we don’t stand on his side, there’s no way we can work together. He’ll take the script and the entire crew back to China. The sponsor of one of the five biggest film companies in America is only willing to work with us because he’s the director. If we change the person, I’m afraid the cooperation will be over. We probably won’t be able to show in the theaters there.”
Boss Ma turned around at this time,”must he do this?” Is there no other choice?”
Producer li shook his head.”No, he’s determined to stink up this woman and ban her. He wants us to ban her in China, and then he’ll use his fame to ban her in Hollywood. What he means is, President Ma, you’re not only a Big Shot in the entertainment industry, but you must also have a status in the financial and rich circles, so he wants you to say a word and use your identity to pressure Lin chuxue’s business.”
Boss Ma sighed.”Go and tell Jackson that I’ll give him $40 million as a director’s fee for $20 million. Let’s forget about this matter. Don’t mention it to me again.”
Producer li laughed bitterly.”If he could, I would’ve convinced him at the hospital. It’s useless. He’s a Westerner and has a big temper. He’s not even received this kind of treatment in his country’s entertainment industry. When he came to us, not only did we not treat him like a Bodhisattva, but we also treated him like this. I can’t take it lying down. He said that this is not a matter of money.”
When producer Li said this, he looked at Boss Ma awkwardly and said,””I think he’s just saying the word, Boss Ma. With your current status, you can indeed do it. Originally, our budget for this film was already over. The United States will only provide the technical special effects and the theater distribution of the five major film companies. We have to spend 150 million US dollars on the production cost alone. Including the post-production and publicity, the investment for this film is at least 200 million US dollars. If you add another 20 million, our profit will be even smaller.”
“You think I don’t know that? If it wasn’t for the fact that I’m afraid of the Big Five film companies becoming enemies with us in the future, I would’ve F * cking asked this foreigner to get lost long ago. ” Boss Ma put his hands on his hips and glared at him. He was a little annoyed and angry.”But it’s impossible to ask miss Lin to compensate. As the foreigner said, it’s even more impossible. Hey, why didn’t you stop this bastard from provoking her?”
“Boss Ma …” Producer li thought he had misheard. That Lin chuxue, does she have a powerful background?”
“I can’t afford to offend them.” President Ma nodded.
Producer li directly shrank his neck and swallowed his saliva.
There weren’t many people that Boss Ma could directly admit that he couldn’t afford to offend. No matter what, President Ma had someone backing him up, but he didn’t want to directly go against Lin chuxue. It could be seen how big Lin chuxue’s background was.
“What about this matter?” Producer li suddenly had no idea.
“If we cancel the collaboration, our company will be at odds with Hollywood. Although the box office of domestic movies is indeed getting better and better, Hollywood has special effects technology. If we don’t cooperate with them in the future, it will cut off many of our movie plans.” Boss Ma had a headache.”But it’s impossible to go to Lin chuxue. How about this? you go and tell Jackson that this cooperation is canceled.”
Producer Li’s eyes widened.”Boss Ma, that’s a 20 million US dollars penalty. Just like you said, he’ll also be at odds with the five major film companies. Jackson made a lot of money from the contracts of the five major film companies. Many investors wanted to invest in his movies, but they didn’t have the chance.”
“Don’t say anymore, let’s just leave it at that. ” After Boss Ma sent producer li away, he waited for him to go out before he picked up the phone and said respectfully to the phone,””Master Qi, I’ve already terminated my contract with Jackson. We won’t have a conflict with miss Lin, will we?”
“That’s good. You made the right choice this time. I’ll let young master Guo know. By the way, how much money did you lose if you can’t film this movie? I’ll pay you. ”
President Ma was immediately terrified.”How can I do that? I’m only where I am today because you’re backing me up. It’s fine if I don’t give you money, but how can I accept your money?”
“Alright, I’ll put in a few good words for you in front of young master Guo later.”
“Alright, then I’ll leave it to you.” Only then did Boss Ma hang up the phone with satisfaction.
