…

DreamWorks (US G branch), in Xu Cun's office.

At this moment, Xu Cun and Jeffrey are discussing the release of "ET" with a middle-aged white man.

The middle-aged white man named Long Mayer is the current helm of Universal Pictures.

"Lang Mayer, I'm sorry to say that Universal Pictures is just a film company that mainly produces TV programs. I have great doubts about your distribution ability." Xu Cun said bluntly.

"Oh, Mr. Xu, you shouldn't doubt the distribution capability of Universal Pictures. "Jaws" is just a thriller, but Universal Pictures has made it nearly $500 million at the box office." Long Mayer defended.

"But Da Zhe Shark was not published by you, Lang Mayer, was it?" Xu Cun said with his hands spread.

"I was in on it too," argued Langmeyer.

"Okay, Long Mayer, let's talk frankly. You just became the general manager of Universal Pictures, and you need a result to stabilize your position. It's understandable. But what I need is an experienced or a capable person. ET is distributed by other distributors like MGM or my old buddy 20th Century Fox. So, frankly, to get the distribution rights to ET, you have to have a good reason to convince me." Xu Cun said.

"It is true that I am a newcomer and lack experience, but it is precisely because I am a newcomer that I will do my best for the sake of achievement, which is incomparable to those who have already achieved results." Lang Mayer said.

"Your eloquence is good, this one is barely one." Xu Cun said.

"My current boss is Panasonic, a Japanese company. Although the board of directors doesn't know much about movies, they are very confident in you, Mr. Xu. They are willing to pay the highest publicity fee to promote "ET", which must be It is a condition that other film companies do not have." Long Mayer added.

"This one counts as one." Xu Cun nodded.

"Mr. Xu and my boss are both Asians, and you both want to have a foothold in Hollywood. I think you should unite and at least help each other..."

"People are equal. In my eyes, Asians are no different from Europeans and Americans. This does not count." Xu Cun interrupted Lang Mayer.

Xu Cun is not a rookie. Of course he can't take up such sensitive topics that might lead to trouble. He doesn't want to cause unnecessary trouble for himself because of his lax mouth!

Long Mayer shrugged and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't know Mr. Xu, you are still a Buddhist."

In this regard, Xu Cun did not explain or speak—he was waiting, waiting for Lang Mayer to show his real cards.

Seeing that Xu Cun didn't speak, Lang Mayer said a little dejectedly: "I really don't understand, how can you be so difficult at such a young age!" Then, Lang Mayer sat up straight and said, "I heard from reliable sources. , Up to now, Paramount has given Mr. Xu the highest box office allocation, 22.5%... We Universal Pictures is willing to give Mr. Xu 23% of the box office."

"It's only 0.5. With a box office of 100 million dollars, I can get an extra 500,000 dollars, which is not enough for me to hand over "ET" to a newcomer like you." Xu Cun said calmly.

"Mr. Xu, this is the highest ratio I can give you. To be honest, it is absolutely impossible to give a nascent non-local producer a high box office ratio in Hollywood." Lang Mayer pointed out.

"In other words, you won't give me more than 30% of the box office anyway?" Xu Cun said leisurely.

"Mr. Xu, I have to remind you, it's not 30%, it's 23%." Lang Mayer said.

"Well...that's it, that's a pity, all I can say is..." Xu Cun pretended to reject Lang Mayer.

"Okay, you win, 24%, I need the distribution rights of "ET", but I only offer 24%, if the price is higher than this, I will give up." Langmeier attitude said decisively.

"I'll pay the full distribution fee, I want 35%." Xu Cun suddenly said.

Lang Mayer didn't expect Xu Cun to play cards according to the routine, so he was startled, and then he said subconsciously, "Oh, no! It's impossible!"

"Thirty-four percent, it can't be any less." Xu Cun said firmly.

Lang Mayer looked at Xu Cun for a while before saying, "Mr. Xu, please believe me, if you want to cooperate with several major Hollywood film companies, you will never get more than 30% of the box office share. , the major film companies are not short of money, they don't need you to share the distribution fee."

"But I really want more box office share, Lang Mayer, can you help me think of a way?" Xu Cun said.

"Oh, **** it! Xu Cun, I realize that I hate you a little bit!" Lang Mayer rubbed his hair vigorously and said.

"If ET can make Universal Pictures a lot of money, you will fall in love with me again." Xu Cun smiled.

"Twenty-eight percent, you pay half of the distribution fee, this is the highest price I can pay!" Lang Mayer took a deep breath and said.

"Twenty-nine." Xu Cun said after bargaining.

"Farewell!" Long Mayer turned and left.

"Twenty-eight five, as long as you nod your head, the contract will be drawn up immediately." Xu Cun sat in the same place.

After hesitating for a while, Long Mayer turned his head back, and then he said with a very bad face: "Didn't you say that a box office of $100 million can make an extra $500,000? Then why do you still fight for this zero? Five o'clock?"

"What if the box office is more than $100 million?" Xu Cun said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Mr. Ryder, I'm sorry to inform you that I have found a partner~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Xu Cun called little Alan Ryder.

"Oh! Xu Cun, you can't do this! We are friends, aren't we?" Little Alan Ryder growled angrily.

"But this is business, isn't it?" Xu Cun said apologetically.

"Oh, **** it! Xu Cun, you can't do this to a friend who helped you!" Little Alan Ryder said angrily.

"Okay, my friend, I know that I am at fault in this matter, and I will make it up to you." Xu Cun said.

"What compensation?" Little Alan Ryder asked after a slow tone.

"How about the copyright of "ET"?" Xu Cun laughed.

"Oh, Xu Cun, I don't know what you mean by that?" Little Alan Ryder asked.

"In order to compensate you, my friend, I am going to sell you the copyright of "ET"." Xu Cun said.

In the last life, "ET" never made a follow-up movie. The reason is that Spielberg's feelings for "ET" were too deep. He didn't want to make a sequel to "ET", and he was clinging to the copyright of "ET". , no one else can take pictures.

Xu Cun is not Spielberg, he has no feelings for "ET". Therefore, he doesn't mind using the copyright of "ET" to get more benefits.

"All copyright?" Little Alan Ryder asked with interest.

"All." Xu Cun answered with great certainty.

"How much?" asked Alan Ryder Jr.

Xu Cun smiled and said: "My friend, not now, but after the box office results of "ET" come out. Only then can we negotiate a fair price, right? ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ Welcome to book friends Come to read, the latest, fastest and most popular serial works are all in ~www.wuxiamtl.com~ mobile phone users please go to read.
