"How come? You can drink whatever coffee I have here. Mainly because I see that you have been very busy recently. There should be many people in the film and television industry looking for cooperation with you, and some publishers should also be in contact with you."

Jimmy took the coffee and said with a smile: "You want to trick me."

"No, don't I care about you? We are all old friends."

"That's right." Jimmy took a sip of coffee, "Since we are old friends, I will tell you another piece of news. "Resident Evil 2" will be released soon."

Dante narrowed his eyes and was about to speak when he heard Jimmy continue: "We don't pay much attention to royalties or anything like that right now. It hasn't been long since YU entered the North American market. What we want is to use North America as a springboard to open up the world.

market. But your company seems to be exploring the global market without much sincerity."

Jimmy's words made Dante's heart skip a beat. It seemed that Jimmy was worried about what happened some time ago.

A few days ago, other languages ​​​​of "Resident Evil" have been working on it, but Bantam did not invest much money in promotion, which caused Jimmy's dissatisfaction.

However, Jimmy only mentioned a few words at that time and there was not much reaction, so the company did not take it seriously.

But I didn't expect that Jimmy had not forgotten about it at all. He never mentioned it and waited until this time to attack.

Looking at Jimmy drinking coffee calmly, Dante sighed secretly. Jimmy is really not easy to mess with. Jimmy's timing was so good. If he had come to argue before, even though the company would have responded,

But there is a high probability that it is just perfunctory. Now that he has a new work, and it is just in time for Universal to release news, if Jimmy mentions this matter again, the company cannot take it lightly.

Dante had no choice but to say with a smile: "Brother, you also know that I can't make the decision. The leaders above made the decision before. I also helped and said a lot in the middle, but in the end I didn't get up."

To what effect. I'm sorry about this, but our cooperation is generally very pleasant..."

Jimmy raised his hand, "You're not going to tell me that you have no control over this matter, right?"

"Of course not..." Dante gritted his teeth, "In this way, as long as you give us "Resident Evil 2", everything will be easy to discuss. I promise to persuade the upper management to increase investment in other language areas. Increase the investment by 30%.

What do you think about the publicity funds?"

"Thirty is not enough." Jimmy shook his head. "The previous base number was too low. It doesn't make sense to add 30%. Doubling it. Dante, you have to figure out the difference between "Resident Evil" and "Second World".

"Even in the local promotion of these two books in North America, I did the main work. In order to promote these two books, the royalties you settled with me have been almost spent. If we publish a book, we

We have to lose some money, so what’s the point for us?”

After hearing Jimmy's words, Dante secretly complained that Bantam had already paid Jimmy close to two million in royalties. It would be great if Jimmy could spend a tenth of this money on publicity.

But Dante couldn't expose Jimmy to his face. He could only smile and say: "Brother, I also know your difficulties. I've always been on your side. You said you wanted to double it. I need to discuss it with the boss."

I can give you an answer, what do you think?"

"Dante, sometimes if you want to go further, you need some courage." Jimmy narrowed his eyes and nodded.

Dante knew what Jimmy meant. Jimmy wanted to tie himself to him completely, so that he would be prosperous and suffer losses in the future. If Dante desperately helped Jimmy, as long as the writers under Jimmy maintained this momentum, then his office

You can move to the east.

But if Jimmy is just a flash in the pan, maybe he will have to go to work in the lobby, or even leave Bantam directly.
