174 Damn middlemen make the difference

David Heyman walked out of the airport and asked his assistant Nissa as he walked: "Where is the corrupt Chinese guy who bought the copyright of "Harry Potter"? We will go find him tomorrow."

Nisha replied: "I checked his information. His name is Henry, and he works as a middle-level manager in XX company. I didn't know that he used so much money to buy the copyright of the movie, which caused us to be delayed."

"Where did a middle-level person from a Hong Kong company get so much money? It would be great if he really bought it himself. I'm afraid there's something fishy in it."

Hearing this, Nisa nodded and said, "According to my investigation of his company, his salary is not that much. I just don't know if he has any other income."

"First find him and tell him that we must buy back the copyright of "Harry Potter"." After David finished speaking, he and his assistant got into a taxi and headed to the hotel...

The next day, after David saw Henry, he learned that the copyright had been transferred to him, which made Henry feel bad. This was obviously someone coming here for the copyright of "Harry Potter".

There was no other way, so David had no choice but to take his assistant and go see Shen Xusheng again.

Shen Xusheng was greeted by Ye Fan, and after learning David's intention, he smiled and asked him to go to Yanjing to find Ye Fan.

David was very surprised when he learned that the movie rights to "Harry Potter" were finally bought by a Chinese or a mainlander.

Why do Chinese people buy Chinese novels and also buy the film rights to them?

Regarding David's doubts, Shen Xusheng explained the process of Ye Fan reading the novel. As for the process of buying the copyright, Shen Xusheng did not explain.

This made David very speechless. Is this a tragedy caused by a gift to him?

The copyright that could have been obtained for US$1 million is now unknown how much it will cost.

David didn't have time to think too much. After bidding farewell to Shen Xusheng, he hurried to Yanjing with his assistant...

On Tuesday, November 4th, Ye Fan, who was in class, received a notice from Zhang Xing, saying that a man from China came to him and asked about the copyright of a novel. This shocked Ye Fan and he knew that a fish had taken the bait.

As soon as school was over at noon, Ye Fan set off for a certain restaurant. Whether he could get his hands into Hollywood and make money depended on this...

"Hello Mr. Ye, I am David Heyman, the chairman of Fu Guoshengri Film Company. Nice to meet you."

Listening to David's Cockney accent, Ye Fan replied in English without waiting for his assistant to translate: "Hello, Mr. David, nice to meet you. I am Ye Fan."

David didn't expect Ye Fan to speak English. Although he still had a unique Chinese accent, he spoke it fluently.

This shows that the results of Ye Fan's insistence on learning English are gratifying, and this is useful.

"I didn't expect Mr. Ye to speak English so well. It will make our subsequent chat much easier."

Faced with David's praise, Ye Fan was not modest and said directly: "My English is not good, and I can't understand the novel "Harry Potter". You think so, Mr. David."

David smiled and did not continue, but praised: "I also asked about Mr. Ye's reputation before coming here. You are not only an excellent singer in China, but also a famous writer and actor, and you are only 17

It’s really admirable to achieve such an achievement while still in school at the age of 10.”

Seeing this foreign devil playing tricks on people, Ye Fan didn't want to be fooled, and didn't bother to chat with him, and directly asked him the reason for his visit.

Seeing that Ye Fan was so direct, David stopped pretending and explained his purpose of coming, saying that he wanted to buy back the copyright of "Harry Potter".

"Mr. David, I spent 5 million US dollars to buy the copyright of this novel. I wonder how much you are going to spend on it?"

Hearing the price mentioned by Ye Fan, David scolded his compatriots Henry and Ye Fan half to death. Damn the middlemen who made the price difference and made so much in one profit.

He didn't quite believe that Ye Fan had spent another 1.5 million US dollars to buy the copyright from Henry, but he thought it shouldn't be less. He also thought that Ye Fan also wanted to make a fortune as a middleman.

Of course, David couldn't directly quote the price. The price was too much beyond their budget, so he replied: "As far as I know, Mr. Ye, you are also from Warner. Warner Pictures is interested in making this movie. I wonder if you can part with it."

We are willing to repurchase it at the original price.”

Ye Fan smiled and said: "Let me correct you, I am only cooperating with Warner Records, and what does this have to do with Warner Pictures? You also know that I am a writer or a screenwriter. Can you see the difference between "Harry Potter" and "Harry Potter"?

I can also see the potential."

David's face turned a little ugly, and he forced a smile and said, "Then I wonder what you think, Mr. Ye?"

Ye Fan said categorically: "I want to participate in the investment, and then I want to share the global box office!"

"Impossible!" David couldn't bear it anymore and said loudly: "Warner Pictures will not agree to this condition."

Seeing this, Ye Fan shrugged and said: "Don't make a decision in such a hurry. You should ask the person who can make the decision first. Anyway, I bought out the movie rights of "Harry Potter". At worst, I will find someone else."

Come to Wu Company, if it doesn’t work, it’s a big deal and I’ll just stop filming. Five million U.S. dollars is not much for me.”

Zhang Xing and Nisha saw that the situation was getting tense, so they quickly came out to smooth things over and gave David a step down. Only then did the atmosphere return to normal. However, David's face didn't look very good.

He still knew that Ye Fan was worth 80 million U.S. dollars. It could be said that 5 million US dollars was half of Ye Fan's worth. David Heyman didn't believe that Ye Fan didn't care, but he didn't dare to gamble, which was very uncomfortable.

After dinner, Ye Fan didn't care about the so-called foreign friends. It was impossible for Warner Records to put pressure on Ye Fan for Warner Pictures. Ye Fan and Warner only had a cooperative relationship. It was not certain who would put pressure on whom, unless it was

Time Warner headquarters came forward.

However, Ye Fan feels that this possibility is very small. After all, the "Harry Potter" movie has not been made. Time Warner does not know how much money it can make from the series of movies based on this novel. Moreover, one is in Chou Country and the other is in China.

, it is not only difficult to interfere, but the cost is unknown. It is not worth it for an unknown movie.

David was very angry by Ye Fan today. As a corrupt man, he was manipulated by a Chinese, which hurt his white self-esteem!

If this thing doesn't work well, his plan to be the producer of the "Harry Potter" movie will come to nothing.

If it costs so much to get it done, why should I use you?

There was no other way, so David had to contact Warner to report the situation and see if there were any other ways to solve it...

Ye Fanduo is not happy to be able to control a corrupt countryman. It is only worth being happy if he can control Warner Bros. So what about Hollywood? No matter how shrewd you are as a Jew, you are nothing in front of the time travellers.

While he was in a happy mood and there was still some time before afternoon classes, Ye Fan remembered what his uncle told him that little Yang Mi was filming nearby.

So Ye Fan was going to walk over and talk about the class. After all, he hadn't seen Xiao Yang Mi for a long time.

Remembering that there were some specialties from Hong Kong in the car and there was no need to buy any gifts, Ye Fan asked his bodyguard to drive directly to the set of "Singer"...

"Xiao Mi, please stop bragging. Didn't you just shoot a few MVs with him? He may not remember you after such a long time, so how can he be your brother?"

Seeing that He Qin didn't believe what he said, Yang Mi became a little anxious and said quickly: "It's true, Ye Fan is my brother, and I often go to his house to play."

At this time, Hu Jun, who was standing aside, said with a smile: "I also graduated from China National Theater, and Ye Fan is so famous. I'm embarrassed to say that Ye Fan is my junior brother. If you can call Ye Fan over, I will believe you."

.”

Xiao Yang Mi was furious, why didn't these adults believe what he said? It's better for Brother Ye Fan to believe that I can sing in the future.

"Uncle Hu Jun, you said, I will go find my mother now." After Yang Mi finished speaking, he was going to find his mother who was resting and asked her to call Ye Fan.

Hu Jun's face darkened when he heard the title uncle. This little Yang Mi was really quirky. He would call her brother when he was happy, and uncle when he was angry.

"If you can call Ye Fan here, I will forgive you for calling me uncle."

Looking at Hu Jun who was pretending to be serious, Yang Mi snorted and said arrogantly: "Who told you not to believe that Ye Fan is my brother? You are my uncle."

At this moment, a voice came: "Xiao Mi, if you call me brother and you call me senior brother and uncle, wouldn't I be a generation younger than my senior brother?"

Yang Mi was overjoyed when he heard the sound. He looked in the direction of the sound and shouted: "Brother Ye Fan!"

Hu Jun and others were also surprised. They all turned around and looked over. When they found that it was really Ye Fan, they all stood up in surprise.

Ye Fan opened his hands, picked up Yang Mi who was running towards him, looked at her protruding "buck teeth" and joked: "Xiao, I haven't seen you for a while, Xiaomi, what's wrong with your teeth?"

Only then did Yang Mi remember that she was wearing braces. She suddenly became shy, covered her face, buried her head in Ye Fan's neck and shouted: "Ah, brother Ye Fan, don't look at it. Put me down. I

I need to take off my braces, it’s so ugly!”

Ye Fan put Yang Mi down funny and saw her turning around and raising her hand, and there was a burst of movement.

Ye Fan ignored her and greeted Hu Jun and others: "Brother Hu, Teacher He... hello."

After being surprised, Hu Jun and others also came to their senses. After shaking hands with Ye Fan one by one, they started chatting. After hearing the news, other members of the crew also rushed over, including Li Yapeng.

The soft-boiled man also graduated from Chinese drama, and he could be considered Ye Fan's senior brother, but Ye Fan had a poor sense of him, so he was polite and didn't talk to him much.

The soft-boiled man looks honest, but he has a very high self-esteem, otherwise he would not be able to play a good hand of cards. Although he was very polite to Ye Fan, who knows what he was thinking.

Yang Mi, who had taken off his braces, jumped up to Ye Fan and said to Hu Jun: "Brother Hu, do you believe it now? Ye Fan is my brother."

When Hu Jun and others heard what the little girl said, they all laughed and said, "I believe it. I didn't expect that Ye Fan is really your brother."

Ye Fan was also amused by the smug look on Yang Mi's face. After returning to her original appearance, she looked more beautiful than she had in a while.

Ye Fan chatted with everyone for a while, then took Yang Mi to the car and gave her the gift he had prepared, which made Yang Mi very happy.

But I don't know what Yang Mi thought of, and his expression became a little aggrieved, and he asked Ye Fan: "Brother Ye Fan, have you forgotten me? You haven't come to see me for so long."

Yang's mother knew that Ye Fan was very busy and felt helpless at her daughter's words. She showed an embarrassed expression to Ye Fan from the side. Ye Fan shook his head and said he didn't mind.

"I'm busy right now. I'll come see you when I have time. If you're free on the weekend, my brother will take you out to play."

Sure enough, Yang Mi became happy when she heard Ye Fan's words. The little girl might just want to get other people's attention.

"Then it's settled, you can't deceive others by pulling hooks."

Ye Fan looked at Yang Mi who was getting happy, smiled and pulled the hook with her. Only then did Yang Mi feel satisfied and look forward to the arrival of the weekend.

After coaxing for a while and seeing that the time was almost up, Ye Fan said goodbye to Yang Mi and the others and went back to school. Yang Mi became a little star in the crew. People in the crew asked about her and Ye Fan's relationship.

The relationship comes...
