Chapter 1295 The first crab

  In the evening, after the banquet, all the guests left.

   After Xia Jingxing put his son to sleep, he walked into the bedroom with some anxiety.

   Seeing Kristina sleeping with her head covered, he breathed a sigh of relief.

   I couldn't help but complain about the puppy, what a bad gift to give, but to give such a book, isn't this deliberately creating a family dispute?

  Xia Jingxing crept into the quilt, and then pulled a quilt. When he was about to turn off the light, he found that Kristina was not asleep.

   A pair of red eyes, like a rabbit, seemed to have just cried.

"Uh……"

  Xia Jingxing had an idea, "What's the matter? Are you still thinking about that novel? It's okay, bad women are bad women, I like bad women the most."

   Kristina pushed Xia Jingxing's arm away and stared at him coldly, "Do you think that novel is completely fabricated?"

   "Isn't it? I've decided to sue Ben Mozrich. He wants to make money by stepping on our heads. It's just a dream, and I'm going to sue him for bankruptcy."

   Although he felt a little guilty, Xia Jingxing still tried his best to look very angry.

  Christina said lightly: "I think what he wrote is quite realistic, I am a bad woman, you are a bad man, and then we made countless transactions.

  You transferred your Facebook shares, gave up your management rights of Facebook, and then exchanged my tolerance for your private life. "

   Xia Jingxing knew that Kristina might have heard some rumors, but she had turned a blind eye before, and today she suddenly broke this matter, which made Xia Jingxing feel a little worried.

   He knew that this book would definitely be a bad thing!

  There are a lot of metaphors and innuendo in the book, Xia Jingxing can take it lightly, but that doesn't mean Kristina can endure it.

   "Don't say that, you and I know the specifics of Facebook, you are the most suitable CEO candidate, and this is by no means a deal.

   And we've never had any deals, I hate that word. "

  Xia Jingxing stared at Kristina, his mind was spinning, and in the days to come, conspiracy theories like those described in this book are estimated to be indispensable.

   It is definitely not acceptable for Christina to bear the pressure of infamy and public opinion alone.

   Then he can only stand up and be this scumbag, attracting all the firepower to himself.

   Anyway, he hasn't been scolded less in these years, and it's okay to have one more crime.

   Kristina didn't seem to want to discuss this topic in depth, she turned her back to Xia Jingxing, and did not speak any further.

  Xia Jingxing shook Kristina's shoulders, she seemed to be asleep and didn't react.

   sighed inwardly, Xia Jingxing turned off the lights and lay down.

   After a while, Xia Jingxing felt his leg being pushed heavily.

   Before he could react, a fiery body pressed down on him.

   He was instantly overjoyed, there was nothing that couldn't be solved by sleeping.

   After a few hours, he stopped thinking so.

   The next day.

   It was already three days before Xia Jingxing woke up with a sore back.

   He went down the stairs and found Christina assembling toys with her son.

   "Get up, there is breakfast over there, eat it quickly, and replenish your body."

   Kristina smiled and looked at Xia Jingxing, whose face was pale.

  Xia Jingxing noticed that Kristina looked radiant, without the slightest sadness of yesterday.

   Seeing this, Xia Jingxing was relieved a lot, and he didn't work in vain last night.

   After breakfast, Xia Jingxing explained a few words to Christina, and then drove to Los Angeles.

   In the office of Marvel Studios, Xia Jingxing met Ben Mozrich, the author of the novel who arranged himself and Kristina.

   This guy is about forty years old, has a spiky haircut, and wears a printed shirt with two buttons unbuttoned, with a naughty tuft of chest hair hanging out.

   "Daren, it's nice to meet you!"

  Mozrich shook hands with Xia Jingxing and parted ways, not at all stage fright because of Xia Jingxing's wealthy status, and he acted a bit uninhibited.

   Kevin Feige looked at Mozrich coldly from the side, this person was invited by him through the relationship in the circle.

   The other party showed no respect in front of the boss, which made him very unhappy.

  Envision Capital invested $800 million after the acquisition of Marvel, and gave Kevin Feige the power to display his talents.

   Therefore, Kevin Feige is full of gratitude and respect for Xia Jingxing as a Bole.

   He had already heard Xia Jingxing talk about the novel, and he was very contemptuous of Mozrich, an author who pretended to be a "non-fiction novel" but actually did nothing but fiction.

   "Mr. Mozrich, the novel is well written. I bought dozens of copies as gifts. My friends called it professional and said that the plot is very tense. Young people must like this style of novel."

  Xia Jingxing greeted Mozrich to sit down, then took out a novel written by the other party, patted it lightly on the table, and pushed it in front of the other party.

  Mozrich picked up the novel and glanced at it, then suddenly smiled, "Daren, you came to me today, definitely not just for the novel."

  Xia Jingxing and Mozrich looked at each other for a few seconds, then said with a smile, "Yes, we want to buy the film and television adaptation rights of "The Accidental Billionaire" and invite you to be the screenwriter."

  Mozrich was stunned for a moment, he thought that Xia Jingxing was looking for him to ask him for guilt, and he was already mentally prepared for the death of the fish, but the other party was looking for him to cooperate, which surprised him.

   "Daren, why? You want to make your own biographical film?"

   Mozrich thought for a while and guessed that the biographical film might be Xia Jingxing's spiritual pursuit.

  Xia Jingxing laughed, and then said domineeringly: "Just one "Accidental Billionaire" is not enough to sum up my magnificent life, at least five films!"

  Mozrich calculated in his mind, it seems that the other party has no other companies that are close to Facebook's tens of billions of dollars in valuation, except for Renaissance Industries and Vision Capital. I wonder where the other two movies come from?

   "Daren, what do you think of "The Accidental Billionaire"?"

  Mozrich did not reply to Xia Jingxing in a hurry, but asked the other party's opinion on the novel.

   "Want to hear the truth?"

  Mozrich nodded.

   "Like a pile of stinky shit, it made me a down-and-out Chinese student who couldn't walk after seeing a woman."

  Mozrich was not angry, and spread his hands, "You know, this is a common routine in novels. Everyone likes to read stories about the counterattacks of the bottom-tier youth, rather than being greeted by beautiful women as soon as they come up."

Xia Jingxing smiled lightly, this person in front of his previous life portrayed Xiao Mazi as very inferior and extreme, and the angry Xiao Mazi ordered the prohibition of discussing films and novels about "The Social Network" in the company, and also exposed himself on "Oprah Talk Show" Private life, reduce or eliminate the adverse effects caused by the release of the movie.

   Since then, Xiao Mazi has been driving Fit every day, and everyone has praised Xiao Mazi as a model for young entrepreneurs.

  It's hard to say that the "simple life" character set up by Xiao Mazi in public has nothing to do with this movie.

   Although I have become rich, my life is still poor. Who would dare to say that I harmed my alumni and partners.

  Little Mazi lives with a mask on, but it's actually quite tiring.

   This incident reminded Xia Jingxing that the influence of the novel is limited and it has already been published, so you can leave it alone, but whatever the movie says, you have to hold it in your own hands.

   This is a good opportunity to promote and market yourself. Naturally, you should make good use of it instead of letting others smear yourself.

   In addition, there is an inhumane reason to make Kristina happy.

   "I plan to invest 100 million US dollars in the production of this film, and at the same time, it will be promoted on a large scale in the global film market, including the Chinese market.

  As a screenwriter, you can get 10% of the net revenue of the film, which is twice the market price. "

  Mozrich hesitated for a moment and said, "This kind of plot biopic won't be too high at the box office."

   "It depends on how you write the script and how the director shoots.

  Our three founders are from the three largest box office markets in the world, China, the United States, and Japan. If we can please the audience of the three countries, the box office will not be a problem.

  Sony Columbia is very interested in our proposed co-production plan, they may co-invest part of it, and they will also help us release the film in Japan.

  The Chinese market, let alone worry about it, the top few private film companies have my investment.

   In addition, we also found Mr. David Fincher, the director of Alien 3 and The Seven Deadly Sins, who was very interested in my proposal. "

   After listening to Xia Jingxing's description in such detail, Mozrich immediately dismissed his doubts and said with a smile, "I also think Daeron's proposal is good."

   "Pleasant cooperation." Mozrich handed out his hand to Xia Jingxing.

  Xia Jingxing smiled and shook hands with him, and then let Kevin Feige send him away.

   Soon, Kevin Feige returned to the office.

   He asked with some puzzlement: "Daren, are you so cheap on him?"

  Xia Jingxing smiled, "He's a good writer, so it's perfect for him to be in charge of the adaptation, especially if he can adapt it at my request."

   Kevin Feige frowned: "10% net income is too much."

   "Hollywood makes a movie adaptation, and it's not bad that the original author doesn't pay back."

   Kevin Feige suddenly laughed, this is an old Hollywood tradition of accounting.

   "Hurry up and set up the crew, the film must be filmed within a year."

  Kevin Feige frowned: "In such a hurry?"

  Xia Jingxing smiled and said nothing. If the movie is released before the listing on Facebook, what unexpected gains will it bring?

   Choose to use movies instead of roadshows, you should be the first to eat crabs, right?

   In addition, the inclusion of Mozrich can also prevent some unexpected events that are not under his control.

   Thanks to Li Huangtai, Brother Xiao Ma and others who didn't choose to invest in this movie, or else they would be blackmailed, and they wouldn't even find a place to cry.

   In the end, Xia Jingxing also planned to prostitute Mozrich for free, so everyone used each other once and it was even.

  Strictly speaking, it can be regarded as killing three birds with one stone.
