The three conditions proposed by Ye Zhiqiu made Ma Qi feel that although they were difficult, there was no room for negotiation.

However, this is far from over.

"One last condition," Ye Zhiqiu said, "HBO must promise to help me release a work in addition to Game of Thrones."

"No!" As soon as Ye Zhiqiu finished speaking, Ma Qi's face changed drastically, and he said almost without hesitation.

"No way, this condition is too ridiculous, we won't agree to it!"

Ye Zhiqiu looked calm and said, "In this case, it seems difficult to continue the cooperation."

Machi's face froze, and he quickly calmed down.

Under normal circumstances, even the most famous screenwriters would have to be polite in front of a powerful party like HBO. No one would be as arrogant as Ye Zhiqiu, who put forward conditions that were more demanding than the last, and was simply asking for too much.

But the script of "Game of Thrones" seems to have a kind of magic, as if it was tailor-made for HBO. It would be fine if he hadn't seen it, but now with the comparison, he doesn't want to give up anyway.

Ma Qi took a deep breath and slowed down his speech, "Mr. Ye, your request is too unrealistic."

"Every work released by HBO has been rigorously evaluated. We will not joke about our reputation and prestige."

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said, "Mr. Machi, don't you believe in my ability?"

"What if I guarantee the quality of the work? Besides, this is a matter for the future. Before that, we can verify its performance on Game of Thrones."

"......" Machi's eyes flashed slightly, and he was somewhat moved by Ye Zhiqiu's words, but he still refused to give in.

"Even so, I can't agree to this."

"Perhaps, we can discuss the other three conditions first."

At the scene, March and Ye Zhiqiu started negotiations on the script of "Game of Thrones".

The entire negotiation took more than two hours. It can be seen that HBO is still sincere, but the two sides could not reach an agreement on some aspects.

In the end, both sides could only part ways unhappily.

Ye Zhiqiu understood that HBO's tough stance and refusal to give an inch was just a negotiation tactic on the part of the other party, so he was not in a hurry at all.

After all, HBO is just one of the potential buyers of the Game of Thrones script.

On the contrary, he should be the opponent's best choice at the moment.

——The advantage is on my side, why should I panic?

What happened later also verified this point. After finishing his trip to Vladivostok, Ye Zhiqiu returned to Huahai. HBO not only did not leave, but followed him without giving up.

While Ye Zhiqiu continued to film "The Wandering Earth", the other party harassed him from time to time, using both soft and hard tactics to the extreme.

In this regard, Ye Zhiqiu's deepest feeling is that whoever says that American ghosts are stupid, rich and efficient in doing things is no different when they really start to nag.

After several rounds of negotiations, the screenwriter's remuneration and profit sharing ratio were almost determined, but they still refused to give in on the last point of distribution rights.

Later, Ye Zhiqiu got annoyed and threw out a trump card in the final negotiation.

"What do you mean?" At the negotiation table, Machi flipped through the script that Ye Zhiqiu threw over and found that the content was no different from the previous one.

Ye Zhiqiu said: "Just keep reading and you'll know."

Confused, March turned to the back and found that although the script did not continue writing, the titles of each subsequent episode were listed.

Episode 3: "Lord Snow"

Episode 4: "The Cripple, the Bastard, and the Waste";

Episode 5: "The Wolf and the Lion";

Episode 6: The Golden Crown...

Continuing to look back, suddenly at some point, Machi's eyes widened as if he saw something incredible.

He never expected that Ye Zhiqiu would actually list the titles of the following seasons.
