Chapter 99： It's a little cold outside

Hearing the words, Keig Bint looked around a few people and said to director Todd, "I'll think about that project of yours."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

"Mr. Bint..."

Todd Phillips said anxiously when he saw Keig Bint leave just like that.

Seeing that he ignored himself, he said to Roger angrily, "Mr. Dre, you are deliberately sabotaging!"

"Todd, as I said, you should invest with us. That sissy is unreliable." Roger patted director Todd on the shoulder and said.

Interestingly, Todd Phillips is over 1.8 meters tall, but Roger patted him on the shoulder and seemed to have no sense of disobedience at all.

"But that's Legendary Pictures. Their production and distribution capabilities are second only to the six major companies in Hollywood." Todd Phillips said with some resentment.

"Relax, buddy, it's nothing, we're not bad." Roger said, and gave Chen William a look, motioning him to convince the other party.

"Hello, Mr. Todd, I'm William Chen. My future film industry can fully invest in your film."

"I know you, Mr. William, but although your company is famous, to be honest, its strength is far worse than that of Legendary Pictures."

That is to say, Todd Phillips still holds the idea that it is impossible for them to invest, so his words are more euphemistic.

Otherwise, he may say it directly: Your company's reputation is all at a loss, and this project is handed over to Future Pictures, and there is absolutely no possibility of success.

"I admit that in terms of strength, it is not as good as Legendary Pictures at present. But at the same time, it also means that we will pay more attention to your project, right?"

Chen William said calmly: "Legendary Pictures is no longer what it used to be. They now pay more attention to big productions. Even if they accept your project, they may not pay much attention to it. They are not as good as us in terms of resources invested. so many."

"Really? Mr. William. You need to know about this movie. I have already found someone to write the scripts for the first two movies. According to the plot, I plan to start shooting the two movies together, which requires more than a few funds. It's as simple as tens of millions of dollars, do you think you can still afford such a high investment?"

"Of course there is no problem. As long as we are optimistic about this project, in fact, if the two films are shot together, it is generally more cost-effective than shooting them separately."

Because he knew the performance of this film in his previous life, William Chen was more supportive of Todd Phillips' idea of ​​two films being shot at the same time.

As he said, if two films are to be filmed at the same time, although the one-time investment will be more, relatively speaking, the shooting cost allocated to each film will be lower.

Moreover, the investment in the film does not need to be invested at one time at all. First, a part of the funds is used to start the project, and then it can be added later. Therefore, there is no pressure on Chen William at all.

"And in terms of distribution, Mr. William, as far as I know, your future film industry has no distribution channels."

Hearing that Todd Phillips has been questioning his future film industry, William Chen smiled and patted his shoulder and said:

"Phillips, you'd better figure out one thing now. We're the company most optimistic about your project, but that doesn't mean we have to get the project."

"As you said about distribution, do Legendary Pictures have the ability to distribute? They also signed a distribution contract with Warner."

No matter how successful "The Hangover" is, it's just a small production. Even if he would rather give up the project, he can't let the other party handle him so casually.

"We have already expressed our sincerity. I believe that you have searched all the big companies for this project, and you know their attitude. Whether to finalize the cooperation now, or wait until you have nowhere to go and come back to me, I believe you are a smart one. People, know how to choose."

After William Chen said these words, Todd Phillips fell silent for a while.

At this time, Rick next to him suddenly said: "Mr. Phillips, I'm Rick Walton. I was also discussing with Mr. William to participate in his film investment, so I hope your project can be the beginning of our cooperation."

Todd Phillips noticed Rick's extraordinary demeanor, coupled with his familiar surname, and could not help but change his expression.

In the end, after thinking about it, he said: "I want the final editing rights of the film."

William Chen glanced at Rick, nodded to Todd Phillips, and said, "No problem, these can be written in the agreement."

He shook his hand from Todd Phillips, smiled and said, "Congratulations on our partnership, Mr. Phillips, our goal from now on is the same, which is to hope this film will be a success."

Several people continued to talk about the cooperation of the film for a while, and finally William Chen said that after the agreement was signed, Todd Phillips could start looking for actors and prepare to shoot.

After Phillips left with satisfaction, William Chen said to Rick Walton: "Rick, have you really decided to invest in this movie?"

"Of course, as I said, I trust your vision, William."

"I didn't expect to hear such words again so soon." William Chen and Rick clinked glasses and said with a smile, "By the way, Roger, how about you? Don't you want to participate?"

"I'm actually more interested in playing a certain role in it." Roger's eyes lit up and said.

"Forget it. The actor who gave Uncle John a headache is enough for me. I don't want him to call me to complain about this."

William Chen had previously pledged $100 million for Todd Phillips' two simultaneous "Hangover" films.

In the end, it was agreed that William Chen was responsible for $60 million, Rick Walton invested $35 million, and Roger Del Rey also gave $5 million to try it out.

After these things were finalized, Roger drank the wine in one gulp and said to Rick Walton with a smile:

"It's carnival time. Come on Rick. I'll introduce you to a few hot stars. As for you, William, I don't think I need to worry about this kind of thing."

William Chen shook his head, watching the two leave with shoulder to shoulder, walking towards the hot beauties by the pool.

He raised his hand to check the time, it was almost ten o'clock in the evening, and when he was considering whether to leave, he heard someone talking to him.

"I didn't expect it to be you, William, do you remember me?"

Chen William looked at the tall blond woman in a long black dress walking in front of him, and remembered the previous night at TheBoomBoomRoom:

"Hello, Miss Bar, we meet again."

"Yes, William, for so long, I even thought you lost your phone."

Chen William knew that Bar Lefali said that she once stored her number in Chen William's mobile phone, but did not wait for Chen William's call.

"Sorry, I've been really busy these days."

"So is there time today?"

"Yes, I just finished discussing a cooperation, and now it's finally easy. How about you? Bar, why are you here?"

"I'm here to see if there are any opportunities. You know that our models are young people, so I hope there will be more choices."

William Chen knows that there are indeed many supermodels who hope to develop into Hollywood when they are the most famous. But in fact really do it and there are not many successful people.

"It's not easy, isn't it?" Bar Rafaeli took the wine glass, took a sip, and put his eyes on William Chen's face: "If I have a better goal now."

Oh? Is this actively teasing me?

At this time, they were on the chair side not far from the pool in the yard. The brightness of the light was just right, especially the shadow effect, which made Bar's career line more profound.

"It feels a little cold outside, can we go in and find a place to sit?"

Ba'er's eyes wandered, not knowing if it was because of drinking, the slight misty feeling carried a hint of coquettishness.

Well, William Chen did feel a slight breeze, but at this time, he entered the villa with her without saying a word.

"Go upstairs."

Bar took Chen William's arm and walked up the stairs. The high heels she was wearing were probably at least ten centimeters in length, so it was no wonder she had to be careful when going up the stairs.
