Chapter 44 Copyright Fees Hit New High (Additional Updates Asking for Monthly Tickets to Read)
In the early morning in Cannes, the air is filled with salty sea breeze.

When Tian Xiaole woke up, his hands were numb.

Tang Yan used it as a pillow.

His sleeping position was not very honest, with half of his body pressed over me.

Especially her long legs, pressing on Tian Xiaole's belly.

Like an octopus.

Tian Xiaole moved his legs, got out of bed and put on his pants.

The film festival is over, and it’s time to meet some film producers.

The quote for [Heart Maze] is much higher than before.

"Xiao Le, you're awake."

Tang Yan was awakened by the noise. After an in-depth discussion, it just felt different.

From Director Tian, ​​Director Xiaole, Senior Brother Tian at the beginning, to Brother Xiaole now.

"You continue to sleep. I'll go take care of the copyright for [Heart Maze]."

"I want to go too."

Tang Yan got out of bed but her legs were too weak and she collapsed to the floor.

Seeing this, Tian Xiaole quickly helped the man up and said unhappily:
"Go back to sleep, don't try to be so stubborn!"

"It's not your fault."

Tang Yan complained, a blush on her face.

Thinking about what Tian Xiaole did last night, it was so embarrassing.

Open the door to a new world for her.

You can also use your two feet, including the joints, and you can also bend them.

"You sleep a little longer, I'll have the waiter bring you food later."

Tian Xiaole smiled, changed his clothes, and went out.

···
Inside the hotel conference room, all the film producers who could afford the price were waiting here.

The person was also arranged by China Film Group.

When Tian Xiaole arrived, he could clearly feel that the atmosphere in the room was very tense and everyone was arguing with each other.

"How much has been paid?" Tian Xiaole asked.

"Except for Southeast Asia, the package price for all other regions is US$1260 million, but they are only willing to offer US$1200 million. They are stuck in this range."

Tian Xiaole nodded, quite satisfied with the offer. The transaction set a new record for Chinese-language films.

“It won’t fetch much in Southeast Asia, so let’s sell it all except for domestic and overseas.”

"Okay, let's listen to Director Tian."

The director from China Film Group nodded in agreement.

After some deliberation, the price was finally determined.

They both took a step back and came to a price that was acceptable to both parties, and both thought they had gotten a good deal.

[Heart Maze] copyright is worth 1250 million US dollars!
Tian Xiaole is not well-known abroad, and the leading actor is not well-known either, so the price he can get is indeed not low.

Of course, with the bonus of being a "genius director", winning the Jury Prize at the age of 23 is still quite a gimmick.

"Director Tian, ​​Chairman Han wants to disclose the copyright transaction price. What do you think?"

"OK!"

Tian Xiaole guessed what Han Sanping was thinking. At this critical moment, he was just trying to take credit.

He was the one who decided to invest in [Supermarket], and [Heart Maze] also held a 20% share.

These are all his personal political achievements.

In addition to making money, it also trained such an excellent director.

In just one day, the copyright contract for "Maze of the Heart" was signed and the funds were transferred to China Film's overseas account.

Tian Xiaole entrusted China Film Group to help him open an overseas account, as he did not plan to transfer all of his share back to China.

···
All the main creators were in the hotel room.

Tian Xiaole also told everyone about the copyright fees from the sale of [Heart Maze].

Everyone opened their eyes wide. When converted, it was more than 90 million RMB.

The investment cost was only 10 million, and including public relations expenses, it was less than 30 million.

Most importantly, there is no need to split the profits with the theaters.

Several investors made a killing, but the biggest winner was Tian Xiaole, who took a 50% stake.

"Old Tian, ​​you guys should go back to China first. I need to go to America first."

Tian Xiaole said to Old Tian who was packing his luggage, then looked at Jiang Wu:

"Uncle Wu, come with me. There's a script that's quite suitable for you. It's not suitable for filming in China, so we can only go to Hollywood."

As soon as the words fell, the crowd who were so cheerful just now suddenly became quiet.

"It's not suitable in China, don't..."

Old Tian was once bitten by a snake and became afraid of the rope for ten years. He was worried that the script that Tian Xiaole was going to shoot was wrong.

"Can I see the script first?"

Jiang Wu was also afraid that Tian Xiaole would go astray, so he wanted to read the script first.

"I don't have the script right now, but it's already been registered in Hollywood. I can tell you the general plot. It's an anti-war film..."

"Does the entire film require only one person, and is it shot in a coffin?"

After Tian Xiaole finished telling the general plot of "Buried Alive", Tian Zhuangzhuang was quite surprised.

This is the first time I've heard of such a novel way of shooting.

"It's very challenging. I'll go to Hollywood with you."

Jiang Wu immediately nodded in agreement. Undoubtedly, this was another good script, and the shooting method was even more surprising.

"Don't worry, Lao Tian. I'll be there to keep an eye on things."

"That's fine. You're more familiar with the domestic situation. Just don't let the plot get distorted."

Tian Zhuangzhuang nodded. He felt more at ease knowing that Jiang Wu was going with him.

Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, Yan Ni and others all looked regretful, as they had thought they could go to Hollywood with him.

Who would have thought that the whole film only needed one leading actor.

Tian Xiaole chose to shoot "Buried" in preparation for next year's Berlin Film Festival.

Anti-war films are more popular there.

It just so happened that the Syrian war broke out in recent years, and anti-war marches were held in Europe every day.

Moreover, the shooting period was short, so Jiang Wu also deserves a Best Actor trophy.

The reason for not filming in China is very simple, besides the fact that the script is difficult to pass the review.

The male protagonist is a man named Runren who wants to breathe sweet air. In order to obtain a green card, he is responsible for transporting supplies for the US military in Syria.

The biggest reason is that there is no anti-war voice in the country.

The most radical are the ordinary people.

···
Everyone returned to their respective rooms, and only Tang Yan lingered until the end. She stayed after everyone had left.

"Brother Xiaole, I also want to go to Hollywood to make a movie."

Tang Yan did not hide her inner thoughts, which made Tian Xiaole admire her very much.

There is no scheming, all thoughts are written on his face.

"Okay!"

"Really?"

Tang Yan didn't expect that Tian Xiaole actually agreed to her just because she acted coquettishly.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. A photo of the protagonist's wife appeared in [Buried Alive]. You don't have to go there, just the photo will do."

"Xiao Le, you are so mean. I will ignore you."

Tang Yan pouted and patted Tian Xiaole's strong shoulders in dissatisfaction. It seemed like she was acting like a spoiled child.

"I'm worse than you've ever seen."

Tian Xiaole picked up Tang Yan by the waist and walked towards the sofa.

"Brother Le, I was wrong. It's still swollen. Please forgive me." Tang Yan was so scared that she begged for mercy immediately.

"Just to help you get rid of the swelling."

Tian Xiaole deliberately let go of his hand, and Tang Yan was so scared that she quickly hugged his neck with both hands.

Soon, a voice came from the room saying that the trial could not be passed.

Yan Ni, who was about to sneak back while everyone was gone, heard a sound coming from the room.

She cursed indignantly, she should have been enjoying it.

After listening for a while, I felt very hot and went back to take a cold shower to calm down.
