    The Xinyuanzhuang Teahouse is not actually a building, but a teahouse transformed from a courtyard house that was very common in the old capital.  The environment is elegant and has the charm of the old capital.  Wan Xiaohu saw Xu Xianhai, the general manager of Yamei Film and Television, from the window seat.  His hair was meticulously combed back and his beard was cleanly shaven. If Su Ya hadn't revealed the information, Wan Xiaohu would never have believed it. This man had served in the military and he clearly dressed like a successful businessman.  "Uncle Hai, let me introduce to you. This is Director Wan Xiaohu. Director Wan, this is General Manager Xu Xianhai." Su Ya introduced everyone.  "Hello, Manager Xu." Wan Xiaohu held out his hand reservedly.  A trace of surprise flashed in Xu Xianhai's eyes, perhaps because Wan Xiaohu was too young, but it only flashed by before he quickly put on a smile: "Young people are scary. When I see Xiao Hu, I feel that I am already old. Xiao Hu, Xiao  "Ya, please sit down. What kind of tea do you want?" "I'll drink Pu'er," Su Ya said to the waiter.  "I don't care." Wan Xiaohu gave a popular answer.  "It's not tea to be casual. Let's give him a cup of Longjing." It's hard to say casual in a teahouse and restaurant, so Su Ya directly ordered a cup for Wan Xiaohu.  Drinking tea and casually chatting about some boring topics, Wan Xiaohu was not in a hurry to get down to business, and Xu Xianhai could also keep his composure.  Only Su Ya, after waiting for a while, saw that the two elders were still arguing, and she suddenly started talking speechlessly: "Uncle Hai, aren't you planning to do movie distribution? Director Wan and I shot "Waiting Alone", you  What do you think? " "Uncle Hai must be a fan of the movie you Su Ya invests in. Well, Uncle Hai is the director of Xiaohu. He has also been in the movie sales business for many years, Xiaoya.  I've told you, it's not bad, it's a bit less story-telling, but it's more interesting as a comedy. I'll give you a high price, one million, and get all the distribution rights. What do you think?" Xu Xianhai said casually.  said.  Wan Xiaohu put down his tea cup and asked: "Does the copyright sold to the movie channel not count?" "I don't want the copyright of the movie channel. Of course, you can't sell it to the movie channel during the release period within the year. It will have to be postponed until after the year.  " Su Ya looked at Wan Xiaohu.  One million distribution rights and one million movie channels add up to two million, and the entire investment is only half a million, which is still a good deal.  But Wan Xiaohu touched his chin, hesitant.  After selling the copyright for one million, it was a lot, but he felt it was a little too little.  The movie "Waiting Alone" was considered an excellent work in 2000. Even if it couldn't enter the cinema, if it was released on DVD, the sales would not be too bad.  ¡°In particular, the school also supports a quota to participate in the College Student Film Festival for films shot by students.  Wan Xiaohu believes that through the promotion of the College Student Film Festival, the reputation and popularity of "Waiting Alone" will be greatly improved, and there will be no shortage of buyers by then.  Now it¡¯s sold for only one million, which is not worth it.  "Actually, I never thought about selling the distribution rights so quickly. After all, the movie has not been filmed yet. In the future, we will have a college student film festival to participate in, which is very good for the promotion of the movie. Manager Xu, I feel like one million  Some are low." Wan Xiaohu was confident in the film and decided to reject the offer.  Xu Xianhai frowned and his voice became fainter: "Director Xiaohu, are you sure you heard correctly? One million is too low? Xiaoya said that the total investment for this movie may not exceed 500,000. And you all  We are new, the actors are students, the director is also a student, and we are still shooting on DV. The market prospects are very high. One million is a lot,¡± ¡°I understand Manager Xu¡¯s consideration. Yes, we are indeed a young crew.  Everyone is a newcomer. But making a movie is not about building a house. Building a house requires a veteran. Making movies requires creativity and sincerity. Old filmmakers can make movies that cannot be sold, and new filmmakers can also make blockbuster movies. I  I am very confident in my movie "Waiting Alone" After saying this, Wan Xiaohu took a sip of tea and relived his life. The biggest change is that he is more confident and calm.  Wan Xiaohu has never been a talentless person, otherwise he would not have been admitted to the Nortel Directing Department with excellent results. It is just that he has always lacked a kind of confidence and courage, which is why he will be in a very miserable life in the future.  No longer. His confidence and courage can be said to be that no director can be stronger than him!  Coupled with his own talent, Wan Xiaohu has no reason to belittle himself.  "Waiting Alone", one million bought the distribution rights, not enough, far from enough!  Looking at Wan Xiaohu who was sitting firmly like a mountain, Xu Xianhai didn't know whether to be angry or laugh. He looked at Su Ya, who drank tea silently, seemingly giving the initiative to Wan Xiaohu.  With a laugh, Xu Xianhai took a big sip of tea and then brought someHe exaggeratedly said: "Young people, confidence is a good thing. I admire confident young people. But overconfidence is called arrogance. I don't know if a movie shot on DV is worth spending a lot of money on." "  As long as the content is well done, there is no essential difference whether it is shot on DV or on film. Do you know that "Blair Witch" was just released last year and has a global audience of more than 250 million dollars? There are numerous examples of DV movies.  Watch the story, not the film. "Haha, this is the funniest thing I've ever heard. Do you think "Waiting Alone" can be compared with "Blair Witch"?" Xu Xianhai sneered.  "You can't compare, but you can't belittle yourself either." Wan Xiaohu still looked unhurried.  Xu Xianhai's smile gradually faded, and his tone became harsh: "Director Xiaohu, do you know why I'm here today? In fact, I have no interest in "Waiting Alone" at all. I'm giving Xiaoya face, and I'm his father's subordinate.  One million is a birthday gift for Xiaoya, but since you said it, I will be more generous, right? One million and a half, are you satisfied?"  Su Ya couldn't sit still now and said quickly: "Uncle Hai, friendship is friendship and business is business. I feel bad that Uncle Hai said this." Wan Xiaohu smiled: "Manager Xu, we are talking about business.  I hope that the distribution rights of "Waiting Alone" can be traded fairly. If Boss Xu intends to give Su Ya a gift, then I will say nothing. Su Ya is an investor and producer, and how to deal with it is her business.  . I just came here to set a price for my movie. In addition, I don¡¯t like this method. I feel that it is belittling my movie.¡± ¡°What qualifications do you have to think that "Waiting Alone" is worth a million.  "A movie?" Xu Xianhai stood up, each about 1.8 meters tall, looking down at Wan Xiaohu.  "Uncle Hai, is that too much?" "Xiaoya, it's not that Uncle Hai is telling you that you just invest in a new person, just for fun. But this new person is too ignorant of praise. Uncle Hai has to deal with it for you.  He preaches and preachesmaking a movie, is that something a twenty-year-old boy like you can do well? Let alone one million, your trash movie can sell for half a million, and I, Xu Xianhai, can sell it for 500,000.  Climb out of the capital. Do you know why I don¡¯t want the rights to the movie channel? Because Yangliu won¡¯t buy it at all! It¡¯s a huge honor to call you Director Xiaohu. Don¡¯t slap your nose in return!  You know why later generations have never heard of Xu Xianhai in the entertainment industry.  ¡°If he is short-sighted today, the film industry is not something he can play well.  "Producer Su, I can't decide how you are going to sell the copyright, but I am sure that "Waiting Alone" will shine at the College Student Film Festival. I hope you can wait until after the film festival before considering sales. I also  I have to rush back and continue shooting, so I'll say goodbye first. " Wan Xiaohu is not too angry. In terms of mental age, he is over thirty. Even if he can't face the collapse of the mountain without changing his expression, he can still learn a little bit about honor and disgrace.  Not surprised.  Leaving the chair, Wan Xiaohu smiled at Xu Xianhai again: "I don't really like the title 'Director Xiaohu', regardless of the category. Those who are familiar with it call me Director Wan, and those who are not familiar with it, call me Wan Xiaohu. I think this is acceptable."  "
