Chapter 353: Being noticed by a famous lady?

Du Sheng looked at Bradt and continued:
“The copyright and script of the comic adaptation are all in your Bra Entertainment Company. You hope to participate in the production of Wanted, and I can agree to that.

But one thing is that as the producer and producer, I have the right to have finance and legal affairs join the team.”

When Bradt heard that the other party wanted to be the producer, he was about to speak:
"Producer……"

He also spent money to purchase the copyright.

Moreover, the comic adaptation takes so long, and it costs a lot of money.

Du Sheng raised his hand to interrupt him:
“This cannot be given away, this is a fair trade in Hollywood.

The conditions I offer are much more generous than those offered by Big Eight Films. If you don’t accept them, there’s no need to discuss further.”

In fact, if Universal offered the same conditions, Bradt would most likely agree.

Because large companies usually come with many restrictions, and even only a portion of the profits are allocated to him.

But when it came to Du Sheng, whom he regarded as a wealthy dog ​​owner, he felt quite depressed because he couldn't take full advantage of the situation.

Du Sheng sat calmly and didn't rush.

Anyway, he is not the one who is anxious.

Bradt talked to Timo in a low voice for a few words, then looked at Du Sheng and asked:

"Can you handle the distribution channels?"

"I have an international distributor, so I don't have to worry about that."

When Du Sheng was the spokesperson for Sony Ericsson mobile phones, Columbia Pictures, a subsidiary of Sony, agreed to distribute two films for him, as well as foreign records, all of which were written into the contract.

After hearing this, Bradt's last bit of support disappeared and his willingness to continue negotiations weakened.

He weighed the pros and cons and his initial goals were no more than three:
1. Adapt "Wanted" into a comic book and recoup the investment.

Second, allow Bra Entertainment to earn revenue by participating in the production.

3. Expand your own and your company’s visibility.

If Du Sheng really has the capital and distribution capabilities, it would be better to cooperate with him in all aspects.

I just feel a little unwilling that I didn't achieve the greatest benefit.

"Damn it, they say you Chinese are weak and humble, that's just a rumor!"

Bradt muttered.

Du Sheng was completely different from the timid Chinese people he had come into contact with before.

Not only will they not back down when threatened, they will also argue with reason and refuse to suffer any loss.

Du Sheng smiled, knowing that the preliminary discussion had basically been reached.

Sure enough, Bradt stood up and held out his hand to Du Sheng:

“I look forward to the next contract agreement and hope for a pleasant cooperation.”

Timo was somewhat delighted:

"As long as we work together, this comic adaptation will be a success!"

Du Sheng showed a playful expression and stretched out his hand to shake it:
“Congratulations to both of you for making the right choice. This will be a good start!”

After reaching a preliminary agreement, the specific details will have to be finalized with the team tomorrow or the day after tomorrow.

After walking out of the room, Du Sheng noticed Xu Ligong on the left side of the hall, looking at him expectantly.

Li An was reluctant to speak due to his face, but Xu Ligong, as a businessman, did not care about his face.

Compared to money, face is nothing!
Timo and Bradt saw this and realized that Du Sheng would not leave yet:

"Mr. Du, arrange the contract and the lawyer tomorrow. See you then."

As soon as they left the house, Xu Ligong came over with a glass of wine:

"Mr. Du, you are new here and you don't know how difficult it is here. Don't rush into investing!"

Du Sheng smiled, naturally knowing what Xu Ligong was planning.

With an investment of 6 million US dollars, who wouldn’t be jealous?
Seeing that he smiled without saying anything, Xu Ligong added:

"Mr. Du, these foreigners always think highly of themselves.
Even if you are rich and powerful, they will look down on you in their hearts and even try to seize your funds and power.

Especially when it comes to large investments, it is best to think carefully, otherwise you may fall into traps at any time.”

Du Sheng smiled and nodded:

"Thank you for the advice, Mr. Xu. I'm just interested in their project. We had a pleasant chat."

Xu Ligong didn't want to say much, but vaguely mentioned:
"I think it's not a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket. If something unexpected happens, you might lose everything. It's best to choose carefully."

Du Sheng listened attentively and kept smiling:

"Mr. Xu, how do you think we should invest in Hollywood movies?"

Xu Ligong was delighted after hearing this:
“If you want to reduce risk, you can invest in multiple areas instead of shouldering all the responsibilities alone.

You can also vote for some acquaintances, for example, Ah An plans to make a movie adapted from his novel next year..."

“Joint investment is certainly something we can consider, but whether we can find people is a problem.”

Du Sheng hesitated for a moment and said with a smile:

“Director Li is very popular now, I’m afraid it’s not my turn to invest.

It's a really good idea, and there should be a chance for cooperation next year."

The movie adapted from the novel that the other party was talking about is most likely the banned "Lust, Caution".

Although this film won many awards, the investment was a loss.

He didn't have much idea.

Xu Ligong's heart moved.

If Du Sheng is willing to invest, they will definitely get a piece of the pie.

"But what I'm interested in are action movies. After all, I can't give up my own advantages."

Du Sheng added a patch:
"If Brother An is interested in this kind of film, President Xu, please remember to inform me as soon as possible. I welcome win-win cooperation!"

Xu Ligong opened his mouth and asked, why did you go back to the beginning?

Li An doesn't seem to have any plans to make action movies in recent years.

But since Du Sheng had already expressed his opinion, Xu Ligong followed the topic and said with a smile: "No problem, I will contact you as soon as I have any ideas."

As Du Sheng passed by, he could clearly feel that many Chinese people were looking at him with subtle eyes.

After a moment's thought, he understood the reason.

Most likely he was envious of the special care Li An had shown him just now.

Du Sheng just smiled and had no intention of talking to these narrow-minded people.

Look at the white people on the other side, toasting and drinking with the big names, and then compare these Chinese who want to enter the circle but are obviously rejected, and can only be suspicious of each other and secretly compete...

Du Sheng couldn't help but feel a lot of emotions, feeling both sympathetic and pathetic.

If you can't reach the top and reach the height of Li An, no one will pay attention to you.

Hollywood, which appears glamorous on the surface, is actually full of intrigue.

Du Sheng thought of Bradt who had just tried to lure him into the game, and sneered in his heart.

Those two people were attracted by his money, and he also was attracted by the value of their existence.

Do you really think he would be stupid enough to take out 6000 million US dollars and let them squander it?
The outcome will soon be known, depending on who can't afford to play.

Seeing that it was getting late, Du Sheng remembered that he had things to do tomorrow and planned to say goodbye.

He caught a glimpse of Li An discussing recent investment trends in the industry with several white actors.

There were three men and two women.

The man was wearing a well-tailored suit and looked like an elite.

Of the two ladies, the one on the right was about thirty years old, and he didn't pay much attention to her.

The woman on the left is quite young, as if she had just walked out of a university campus. She is about 170cm tall and has a graceful figure.

She was wearing an elegant evening dress, with a very delicate face and outstanding temperament.

Especially the slender waist, it is rare to see Western beauties with such a slim figure.

A head of golden hair was softly draped over Ban Kuai's snow-white back, and just sitting there gave people endless reverie.

Du Sheng felt that the person looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

It seemed as if the other person had appeared in some entertainment headlines in his previous life, and he couldn't help but take a closer look at him.

As if noticing Du Sheng's gaze, the lady turned to look at him, her beautiful eyes slightly lighting up.

She asked Li An a few questions quietly, then walked straight to Du Sheng, stretched out her hand and smiled:
"Hello, Mr. Du, I am Nicky Hilton, an actress, model and fashion designer."

Niqi exudes a light and elegant fragrance, which makes Du Sheng quite fond of her.

Due to geographical, dietary and other reasons, white people have some body odor.

Therefore, the perfumes used are generally stronger.

But the one in front of me is different, the scent is light and fragrant.

Du Sheng looked at her face and asked with a little curiosity:

"Is this our first meeting? From your tone, it seems like you know me?"

Du Sheng is not well-known in the Lighthouse Country, and he did not appear in the white circle tonight, so he should not receive much attention.

Several white people nearby also looked over. They were quite surprised that Niki knew Du Sheng.

Niki smiled slightly:
“You may not know that I am particularly interested in fighting events and have been following the developments of K1 GP.

I started following you when you made it to the K11 GP finals across 1 weight classes.

The scene of you defeating the Giant God Soldier and blowing up the ring is very shocking. You are definitely the undisputed King of Fighting!"

Du Sheng could feel that this beauty named Niqi was not only outstanding in appearance,

And he exudes a strong sense of self-confidence, probably coming from the white elite.

After recognizing Du Sheng, she immediately thought of the huge investment of 60 million US dollars that was circulated at the banquet.

"I heard that you are going to invest in Bradt's comic adaptation? Actually, he contacted me before.

It’s a pity that something unexpected happened at Universal Studios, otherwise I might have played a role…”

Nikki was a bit outgoing and cleverly brought up the topic of possible cooperation between the two parties, quickly narrowing the distance between them.

Her friend Todd Meister was a little puzzled when he saw Du Sheng's simple clothes:

"Niqi, you must be mistaken, he doesn't look like someone who can spend 60 million.

Besides, aren't you busy filming VH1 Big in 04? How can you have time to go to other crews?"

Meester is a second-generation rich man. Although his family is wealthy, he still has to think carefully before investing 60 million US dollars in a movie.

Even if they were put in the entire banquet, I'm afraid only a few could be taken out.

Therefore, he expressed doubts about Du Sheng's ability.

Niqi was slightly delighted and said:
"You can't be wrong. I've watched several of Mr. Du's K1 finals.

His handsomeness and temperament are so recognizable that you will never forget him once you see him!"

Todd Meister was speechless.

He could question Du Sheng's financial resources, but he could not question Du Sheng's appearance.

Du Sheng listened to Niqi's praise, and a light bulb went off in his mind, and he recalled a report from his previous life:
"A series of the world's most dazzling socialites and their daughters, with both wealth and beauty!"

The report lists the world-famous beautiful socialites, including the President's daughter Ivanka and the sisters of the media tycoon Hearst family.

The focus is on the sisters Paris Hilton and Nicki Hilton.

They come from Hilton Group, the most influential hotel group in the West.

The group owns more than 119 hotels in 6400 countries and regions around the world, with annual sales exceeding US$ billion.

Looking at Niqi in front of him, Du Sheng nodded secretly in his heart.

She is worthy of being the third generation of a wealthy family, with fair skin and beautiful looks.

The report also specifically pointed out that in addition to being an heiress, Nicki is also an exclusive model for Lucire magazine and has shot several works.

She seems to have a different view of herself?
