Faced with his rather disdainful look, Count Snowdon burst out laughing: "Okay, let's act in front of a master of acting. Among the big data I got, there is also cunning data analysis about you that is extremely inconsistent with your age. , do you want me to tell you a paragraph or two?"
Liu Qingshan was slightly embarrassed and said, "Let's forget it. You Europeans are always honest and straightforward when speaking. You don't know how to be subtle and tactful. I would rather listen to lies!"
Everyone laughed, and there were many people at the table now, including Wang Jinghua, Wang Huansheng, Thompson, and two people from Yimeizhi Film Studio.
Andy Serkis seemed to be envious of the casualness and familiarity between the two, "Didn't the Earl know Mr. Liu for only a few days? Are they so familiar with each other?"
Liu Qingshan nodded, "Earl Snowdon is not as proud as a member of the royal family. He is very sincere and treats me as a friend first!"
His evaluation is basically true, and it is not a deliberate exaggeration for this time's investment.
Earl Snowdon's attitude is similar, "There is a proverb in the East called 'It is guilty to kill a superior person'. It means that if people deliberately slander and harm capable and virtuous people, they are guilty. I Thought it would be appropriate to put this sentence here!”
Liu Qingshan was really surprised this time, "I didn't expect you to know this sentence? Is it also in the big data?"
Earl Snowdon curled his lips and glared at him, "Your joke is not funny at all. Our family's intellectual learning and personal cultivation are very systematic. In addition to the traditional royal upbringing method, we also need to accept all kinds of knowledge from an early age. Influenced by this culture, China is an ancient civilization, and the oriental books I have read are not just the four great classics!"
Liu Qingshan cupped his fists and raised his hands: "It seems that my words were a bit reckless, please forgive me, Lord Earl!"
Earl Snowdon couldn't help but burst into laughter, "You are copying these ancient Chinese words into English. Is this the Chinese English you spoke of yesterday?"
Yesterday's show was very influential. What he said made everyone laugh. They had obviously watched that show.
Several people gathered around a table drinking red wine and smoking cigars for more than half an hour, and no one mentioned investment.
The key to this matter depends on Andy Serkis. Once this person nods, these matters will be discussed by their respective teams and do not require their personal participation.
For this reason, the atmosphere at the scene has always been harmonious, and Andy Serkis seems to be more happy with it, and has been expressing his various curiosities.
"Mr. Liu, I am a punk fan, but I also admire your two songs yesterday, especially the song "Shape of You". It not only has the style of hippop and European and American country music, but I think there is also a market for adapting it into a punk style. !”
This is Andy Serkis's curiosity when facing Liu Qingshan.
"Your Majesty, Earl, they say that children of the British royal family must abide by 12 strict rules. Is this true?"
He had such a problem when facing Earl Snowdon.
Even when Wang Jinghua was involved in the conversation, he had another expression of curiosity: "Miss Wang, is there such a big gap between the customs and habits of you Orientals and Tianzhu people? As far as I know, there are very few women in Tianzhu There is a chance to work!"
Regarding this person's performance, the people around him were quietly explaining: "Our boss is such a person, full of curiosity about everything, but he is never just asking for gossip, because his character is like this, he is always curious. , and afterwards he searched everywhere for information and conducted in-depth research. It’s just that his curiosity didn’t last long, and maybe he forgot about it and started to focus on other aspects!”
Unexpectedly, he heard what his assistant said, and it did not make him feel even the slightest bit embarrassed: "Someone once made a summary based on my personality characteristics, saying that I am an idiot and a social rebel who was born for art. I think this has something to do with it. This is directly related to my strong desire to become an artist since I was a child. Out of curiosity, I majored in visual arts in college and chose drama as a second major. I designed posters for theaters, participated in student radio stations, and joined drama clubs. After my first taste of the joy of performing He changed his major to performance, and later developed a strong interest in stage design, and personally worked as an art designer and set designer for multiple acts. After making his stage debut, he fell in love with acting, starting with Shakespeare. From works to contemporary plays, many touring theater companies have appeared on various stages in the UK. Although this job has almost no income, I still regard it as an excellent opportunity to satisfy my strong desire to perform, and I starred in a Lots of classic plays.”
Andy Serkis seemed to be having a particularly intense conversation today. He kept talking and often danced and forgot to smoke. The cigar in his hand actually went out several times.
But no one was bored by his talk, because he not only spoke with great emotion, but also paid attention to someone present from time to time, never letting the atmosphere become cold.
After more than an hour, he ended his speech abruptly and directly mentioned the purpose of the guests' coming.
"I agree to dilute my shares, but I will give you 30% at most, because I want to fully control the future development plan! Moreover, after taking the stake, Lord Earl will do his best to ensure that our studio enters Hollywood smoothly. Without me as the largest shareholder, Allowed, you are not allowed to dilute the shares in your hands privately, and you have the right of priority to repurchase! As long as these conditions are agreed, our people and your people can start negotiations!"
Andy Serkis' sudden change of topic caused Earl Snowdon to look stunned. Fortunately, the request made by the other party was already within his expectation.
He did not react immediately because Andy Serkis had already turned the topic to Liu Qingshan.
"You can just discuss the issue of stock cooperation between Mr. Liu and Lord Earl, but for you and I, we also have some conditions that need to be listed in the contract. That is, I can provide Mr. Liu with the actors and production staff he needs, but you I must ensure that my studio can successfully enter the Bollywood market, and I must meet Mr. Crumb himself and get his commitment in this regard! As for the Chinese market, I will not ask to participate in the name of the studio, but Mr. I must ensure that my studio is the first partner, and I have the right to enter into a strategic partnership, where we can advance and retreat together, and share the benefits!"
Liu Qingshan laughed loudly: "It seems that I made the right choice this time. Mr. Andy is really quick to talk, and the plan he proposed is exactly what I want! Let's put it this way, the future Snowland Studio can even be regarded as your educational movie. A branch of the studio, although the personnel, finance, and management rights are independent, the production resources on the project can be shared, the information can be shared, and the profits can be divided according to the actual investment. As for Bollywood, I suggest that An Mr. Di and Mr. Crumb met and discussed in detail, and we can basically continue our cooperation!"
Andy Serkis was listening carefully, and only occasionally would he make a remark.
During this period, he asked: "Are you a little aggrieved by this kind of cooperation? After all, it is you who are mainly expanding the Chinese market. Why should we interfere?"
Liu Qingshan's expression looked sincere: "You rely on your technical advantages and your reputation as the 'first person in motion capture'. Yimizhi Film Studio's motion capture technology is the best in the world. These are enough." , many of my businesses need to be under your banner, and it is natural for you to get a share of the pie. And my fundamental purpose is not just for monetary gain, but to completely break the Hollywood industry monopoly. I think my job You may not be able to realize my determination for the time being, but the days are long and you will one day understand my good intentions!"
The light in Andy Serkis's eyes kept flickering. He could see the sincerity in Liu Qingshan's expression, and he also had similar lofty ambitions and sense of responsibility.
He was silent for a moment, and suddenly looked at Earl Snowdon: "Your Majesty, Earl, can you tell us about your original intention of cooperating with Mr. Liu?"
Earl Snowdon smiled calmly and explained: "It's very simple. I want to believe this man, because I have always known that possessing his extraordinary kung fu requires far more perseverance and determination to move forward than others. Otherwise, his cultivation level It is impossible to be promoted to the current level! Moreover, his nature is extremely kind, which can be seen from his ability to always keep his heart in the first two assassinations and not want to kill anyone. Just imagine, such a person How many people with simple character and strong perseverance are there in the world today? I am lucky to have such a person by my side early on. These are my inner thoughts!"
Andy Serkis slapped his thigh with his right hand, "Your Majesty, we actually thought of going together! I have been thinking about this issue for two whole days and one night. Yes, it is trust! That's why I am willing to open up my hard work to you. , because there are some things that I can’t do with my ability, and I can’t resist even more covets in the future. I will hug these two thighs of you and Mr. Liu tightly!”
Earl Snowdon laughed loudly: "Forget about my thighs. At most, I have a royal name on my head! You are holding Shanzi's thighs right. If anyone dares to offend him in the future, carry him out to those people." If you walk around on the road in front of your door, you will be too scared to show your head!"
This is true. Liu Qingshan's personal strength is not only powerful, but also mysterious enough. The more others can't find out his true identity, the more terrifying they feel. To be remembered by such a person, no matter how big a person is, he will first be trembling with fear. .
Wang Jinghua and Wang Huansheng looked at each other in a tacit understanding. They both knew in their hearts that such a big matter was solved perfectly. As for the subsequent bargaining, it was a trivial matter and they could just spend time on it.
Feeling that the time had come, Earl Snowdon spoke: "I also know that there is an old saying in China, which is that brothers settle accounts. Today, while all of us are here, let's meet and draw up a general cooperation framework, and we will start from tomorrow. Let’s negotiate in a targeted manner! But there is something I have to say beforehand. No matter how many shares I finally get, half of them will be counted as Shanzi’s personal head. When the time comes, Mr. Andy will not have any ideas when he knows about it, because it It has nothing to do with our overall cooperation!”
