    Naive, naive, no social experience

    These labels were inevitably thrown on Murphy by Jones Butler.

    Bill - rosis is surprised to see Murphy, the impression of Murphy mature and rational, has far more than their peers of social experience, how can say such unreliable words?

    With his hands crossed on the table, Murphy returned to reality. "I agree with your preconditions."

    There is no suitable distribution channel, which means that the film has no value, and the money he invested can not be recovered.

    Jones Butler curved his mouth and said directly, "it''s a wise decision."

    She threw the pen on the notebook in front of her and raised her hand to Murphy, showing her four fingers. "Four hundred thousand dollars, if you agree, we can sign a formal agreement tomorrow."

    Four hundred thousand dollars? Only $100000 more than your own investment? Of course Murphy won''t agree.

    Three hundred thousand dollars is just the cost of shooting and making a film. It takes money for him and Paul Wilson to come by plane, for the expenses of the film festival, for the copies of the exhibition, and for renting this conference room. All of these can be summed up in the total cost. In addition, the total cost of "fruit candy" has exceeded three hundred thousand dollars.

    Murphy was lucky more than once that he didn''t put all the money into it at the beginning. Otherwise, let alone attend the Saint Denis Film Festival, I''m afraid he would be ready to go drinking again.

    Looking at the high Jones Butler, Murphy did not hide, "it''s impossible, your bid is too low."

    What Jones Butler offered was a trial price, and then he made a gesture of invitation, "director Stanton, what kind of price do you think is reasonable?"

    The index finger of the right hand gently touched the knuckle of the left hand. Murphy showed a modest smile. The lion said, "three million dollars!"

    “what？” The man with glasses on Jones'' left exclaimed, "you''re not negotiating, you''re robbing!"

    Murphy shrugged, quite different from the naive ideas that the negotiations started with. "Miss Butler, let me say a reasonable number. I think three million dollars is a good fit."

    Jones Butler frowned at Murphy and thought he was different.

    "What I need is a sincere price!" She added.

    Murphy opened his hand. "Miss Butler, I also need a sincere price."

    It''s widely used all over the world.

    Four hundred thousand dollars is not the bottom line for Jones Butler. She waited for a while and said slowly, "five hundred thousand dollars!"

    In fact, after watching the show, she made a certain estimate. The audience of the film is limited. Even the most optimistic estimate is that the ticket revenue in North American Theaters is in the level of one million dollars, and even less will eventually fall into Miramax''s hands.

    However, Miramax is the top independent film distribution company in the industry, and its films have never been good at box office. Even the films of Quentin tastino, as a signboard, are not so amazing at the box office.

    The revenue from videotapes and other copyrights is the main source of Miramax''s profits.

    "I don''t feel your sincerity." Murphy shook his head and volunteered, "I can''t accept such a price."

    Is this the same naive guy? Jones Butler felt that the opposite side seemed to be a different person, and the other side seemed to have taken the initiative in negotiation from her.

    Backed by Miramax and facing a new director, how could Jones Butler be suppressed.

    Her tone began to get tough. "Miramax doesn''t lack such a small project, but director Stanton, without Miramax, your film may always be squeezed in your hand. Do you want to see your work never meet the audience? Do you want to see that the invested funds can not be recovered for a long time, and finally become waste paper? "

    This directly points to the crux of Murphy. After all, he needs the issuing company, which may not need him.

    Film distribution is never a simple matter, and it is not easy to pull up a Distribution Department and talk to the cinema. Otherwise, the distribution company will not become a high-end presence in the film industry chain.

    "Two million dollars!" Murphy''s face was calm and didn''t seem to hear what Jones Butler said.

    "600000 dollars!" Jones Butler made a modest concession. "That''s twice your cost!"

    Murphy shook his head. "Well, I''ll show my utmost sincerity. My bottom line is $1.5 million..."

    Jones Butler still shook his head. "I''m sorry."

    Six hundred thousand dollars is her highest authority.

    She stood up, slowly closed the notebook, and slowly put away the pen, as if ready to leave.

    Murphy sat there calmly, without opening his mouth, without stopping him, and with no intention of retaining Jones Butler."What do you think?" Bill rossis came up to him and whispered in his ear, "600000 dollars is a lot!"

    According to his agreement with Murphy, if Stanton studio finally reaches an agreement with the company he introduces, it can take 5% commission.

    Thirty thousand dollars is a big number for him.

    Murphy slowly stood up and reached out to the opposite side. "I''m sorry, we can''t reach an agreement."

    Jones Butler put away his notebook and shook it in his hand. "Your price is too high."

    With that, she shook her head again. It was a pity that the deal could not be reached.

    "If you can consider my price..."

    The offer of more than 600000 US dollars is beyond Jones Butler''s authority. This is only the first negotiation. She did not completely block the way of subsequent negotiation. "You can call me."

    Murphy also won''t block this road. "I still hope to cooperate with Miramax. The existence of your company is the gospel of the independent film industry."

    Jones Butler took another look at Murphy, feeling that he was getting a little confused.

    This is just the first negotiation. It''s normal for the negotiation to break down. Murphy and Jones Butler left the conference room without saying any more.

    Bill rosis, somewhat dissatisfied with the breakdown of the negotiation, went back to Murphy''s room and warned, "your price is too high for Miramax to accept."

    Murphy shook his head. "Their offer is too low for me to accept."

    "You need a distribution company!" Solemnly remind them, "this will scare bill away."

    "We can find other partners." Murphy took out a business card from his pocket. "You can call the Fox Searchlight guy and invite him to come here to watch the film."

    Bill rosis frowned.

    Murphy did not see the general, took the phone, dial the number on the business card.
