What Li Yi didn't expect was that Davis Damien had just left.
On the back foot, another North American film and television company sent people to acquire the copyright of "Moving forward with a heavy burden"!
It's just that this company is called Sapphire Pictures. Lou Jianjun checked and found that although there is indeed such a company in North America, it is just a leather company.
"What do you think?" Li Yi asked.
"This Sapphire Pictures should be a vest. As for whose vest it is, it's hard to say." Lou Jianjun shook his head and said.
"Actually, I think that since you don't want to enter Hollywood and just want to sell the copyright at a good price, it doesn't matter what company is behind Sapphire Pictures." Lou Jianjun pondered for a moment.
"Okay, the price can be higher and let's see what the other party's reaction is!" Li Yi thought about it and felt that Lou Jianjun was right.
To whom is it not sold?
What Li Yi and Lou Jianjun didn't expect was this.
This little-known Sapphire Pictures is actually so wealthy.
Lou Jianjun offered a sky-high price of eight million U.S. dollars. Both parties demanded high prices and paid back the money on the spot.
In the end, the deal was actually sold for a whopping $5.5 million!
There are actually people who are eager to be taken advantage of!
You know, the highest purchase price offered by Davis Damien earlier was only 1.5 million US dollars!
This is actually a relatively normal price.
But the fact that Sapphire Pictures could accept such an outrageous price was completely incomprehensible even to Li Yi.
After all, although "Carrying the Load" is quite popular, it is a zombie movie after all, and the box office ceiling for this type of movie is very obvious.
Five and a half million US dollars, equivalent to 40 million Chinese dollars.
This cost is enough to make a mid-budget film!
But the facts are before us.
The other party also gave the money very simply, so Li Yi didn't care whose vest the other party owned.
Just a few days later, when Gao Le Film and Television and Damien Films of North America jointly held a press conference, announcing that the two parties had reached a cooperation and would cooperate to develop a feature film of the recently popular short film "Moving forward with a heavy burden"!
At the press conference, Cao Zhenqun looked high-spirited.
The effect of the press conference was indeed very explosive.
Because, who doesn’t know, Li Yi has severely criticized Gao Le Film and Television before. "Youth 2: Crazy Era" was sniped by Li Yi's "The King of Comedy", and the box office was cut in half twice compared to the first film!
Unexpectedly, this time Li Yi's short film "Moving forward with a heavy load" ended up being copyrighted by Cao Zhenqun's Gao Le Film and Television, and the other party also reached a cooperation with a Hollywood film company to jointly develop this project.
Although I don’t know how Cao Zhenqun did it, it is obviously not important. What is important is that Cao Zhenqun’s counterattack is strong enough!
In their opinion, Cao Zhenqun completely slapped Li Yi in the face!
"Moving forward with a heavy load", well, that was shot by Li Yi.
The popularity is so high at home and abroad, and it is also favored by well-known Hollywood film companies.
Unexpectedly, the opponent Cao Zhenqun actually picked the peach.
"Gaole Films and Hollywood giant Damien Pictures jointly produced the feature film "Moving forward with a heavy load", but Li Yi was excluded?"
"Li Yiyi" made wedding clothes for others? ", Gao Le Film and Television Cao Zhenqun picked the sweetest peaches, suspected of counterattacking Li Yi!"
"The film project of "Moving forward with a heavy load" has been launched, and the original author Li Yicheng is a spectator!"
...
It can be said that Cao Zhenqun is indeed proud and proud.
The media also reported one after another that Li Yi was making wedding clothes for others, and there was a sense of sympathy between the lines.
Some fans of Li Yi also comforted Li Yi on the Internet.
"The dog director made a mistake, and his sworn enemy actually picked the peach and touched the dog's head!"
"Director Dog really got slapped hard this time!"
"Don't be cowardly, continue to be cowardly in the next "Youth"!"
"But be careful. Director Poor Dog is a good actor when it comes to filming. As for business matters, just..."
In the eyes of the outside world, the blow Li Yi received was not a big one.
Li Mingshan and Chen Wen both called specifically to comfort Li Yi.
And Mu Qing even left the work at hand and came specifically to accompany Li Yi.
But they didn't know how rich Li Yi and Lou Jianjun's expressions were when they saw the news!
"This Cao Zhenqun is really..." Li Yi didn't know how to describe it.
Five and a half million US dollars. Li Yi was still guessing who had taken advantage of him, but he didn't expect it to be Cao Zhenqun.
If this price was obtained by a Hollywood film company, although it is a bit high, it is not unacceptable.
Because as long as the movie is good, you can definitely make money back.
But Cao Zhenqun?
He bought it and even reached a cooperation with Davis Damien.
However, he looked so proud that he took advantage and slapped Li Yi, making Li Yi not know what to say.
Of course, maybe, probably, that Davis Damien is really an honest gentleman. Otherwise, how happy Cao Zhenqun is now, he will probably cry how much he will cry by then!
For Li Yi, he really didn't feel wronged at all.
On the contrary, I still want to laugh!
what is this?
Li Yi wanted to say, I didn't even dig the hole, so you dug it yourself and jumped in.
Originally, Li Yi thought that Sapphire Pictures was owned by some Hollywood company, so he just sold it.
If it were a domestic company, he would probably have warned him a word or two, but he didn't expect it to be Cao Zhenqun, so forget it!
In fact, Li Yi is very curious, how much money did Cao Zhenqun invest this time?
Cao Zhenqun was really high-spirited and very proud this time.
And the key is that this operation also allowed him to completely stabilize the company.
Each of those shareholders changed their previous attitude, and they were obviously very satisfied with the operation of Cao Zhenqun's "Horse Bug"!
Speaking of which, it's a bit weird.
This matter actually made all three parties more satisfied!
Li Yi received a sky-high copyright fee, and the person who was taken advantage of was actually Cao Zhenqun. What else could he be dissatisfied with?
And Cao Zhenqun felt that he had picked Li Yi's apple and successfully entered Hollywood! While successfully slapping Li Yi in the face, you can also make money through Li Yi's name. It's so exciting!
But Davis Damien felt that Cao Zhenqun was really stupid and had too much money.
Well, the only thing Li Yi is unhappy about is that he was made off by Davis Damien. Li Yi is 99% sure that Davis Damien is definitely not an honest man.
Although he doesn't like Cao Zhenqun, he also doesn't like Davis Damien.
It's just that the matter has reached this point, and Li Yi has nothing to do.
I can only write down this account for the time being.
In fact, the impact of this incident was even more exaggerated than Li Yi imagined.
At least during this period, Li Yi has become a tragic, pure filmmaker who only knows how to make movies but not do business.
Of course, the benefits are not limited to these. Li Yi even wanted to thank Cao Zhenqun. Director Mu seemed to think that this incident was caused by her, so he was very obedient to Li Yi these days.
