"What you said was a few months ago."

Jay Rosle, executive vice president of Disney Film and Television, suddenly spoke: "In fact, our genius director has long cashed out the shares of Lions Gate to their country's largest film and television group, China Film."

"This is a very smart person. He saw the biggest flaw of the Lions Gate Exhibition!"

"That's why he wants to work with Warner!"

In the conference room, several people started discussing.

"Okay! Let's talk about your views on this project first."

Executive President Robert Eiger interrupted everyone's conversation.

"Well, let me say first, I'm very optimistic about this project, and space-themed movies generally won't lose money."

Robert Iger voted in favor first.

Jay Rothle looked at the few people who were in deep thought and said calmly: "I have exact news. Warner's Christopher once wanted to direct this movie. Of course, Chris temporarily retired, but when Chris recommended Chen Lin to Warner, Warner made many requests, which is why Chen Lin was looking for our cooperation."

"This also indirectly shows that Warner is optimistic about this project, otherwise, they would never have made so many unreasonable requests!"

"Don't forget, Chen Lin has no experience in directing science fiction films!" someone said next to Jay Rosle.

"But the total box office of the movies he directed was close to 100 million US dollars, but the cost was only less than 20 million! Such a director could not be found around the world!"

Another person pointed to the director in his hand and said.

Nothing has data and the business achievements created are more convincing.

"However, our investment plan for next year has been formulated, and it will take time to recover funds."

The person who had opposed it before said again.

"I know a situation."

Robert Eiger suddenly spoke: "Our young director is not simple. He is also a shareholder of the most famous private film and television production company in China. If he wants to come to our side to shoot a movie, I believe that the film and television company over there will definitely be participation. In this way, the funding problem can be solved!"

"And I have another idea," he said, "Disney has always lacked a close-knit director in China. If this movie can be as successful as his previous movies, then Shen Lin's potential in commercial films is immeasurable. We can sign a priority investment treaty on the contract. Even if the market response is not ideal, we can still give up on him!"

"Robert, do you want to participate in the film market in China?

"Who doesn't know that the Chinese film market is the future in the whole Hollywood? We must make arrangements in advance! Chen Lin is definitely a good key!"

The next day, Chen Lin, Li Xiaoping and a trio formed by Zhao Liying, followed the agreement between the two parties and walked into the building where Disney Film and Television was located.

The one who received them was Dick Cook, who was in charge of the film production business in Disney.

"Hello, Chen Lin, we're meeting again."

When the "Hunger Games" series that Shen Lin sold copyright, Disney sent Dick Cook to communicate with him.

But the conditions proposed by Chen Lin are really harsh, that is, independent studios like Lion Gate that have never seen the world can agree!

Not only are it required to have 8% of the shares, but it also requires 20% of the surrounding income!

Of course, Chen Lin presented scripts of two TV series at the same time, which is also an important capital to attract Lion Gate.

With Chen Lin’s script and the Hunger Games series of movies, the market value of Lions Gate has increased at least twice!

But if the other party is the sixth one, would they agree to such a condition?

Take a shower and go to bed, even Jack Rowling can't do it!

Sitting on both sides of the long conference table, the Jewish man who wore gold-rimmed glasses looked like a good old man said directly, "I have been thinking recently that if we could have a good chat, the series "The Hunger Games" would definitely belong to Disney."

Chen Lin smiled slightly, it was too nonsense.

Even if they say that they have never been able to agree to their own conditions!

At the beginning, I didn’t know much about the rules of Hollywood’s game at all, and felt that I could get everything I wanted with the script alone.

Thinking about it now, it's so stupid.

If the original script is so important, why do the six major studios restart their series every time they encounter difficulties?

How many movies have been filmed from MGM's oo7 and from the 20th Century Fox's X-Men?

After a few casual greetings, the two sides quickly got to the point.

This is the most common commercial film collaboration in Hollywood. It is all false to build friendships and to build relationships. The reason why Disney wants to reach a cooperation with Chen Lin is because he can see the profit prospects from him!

Chen Lin is qualified to sit here because Disney is interested in investing!

Things that both sides know!

Moreover, this contact was just the first negotiation, and it was too early to reach an agreement!

When the negotiations were about to end, Dick Cook asked a question casually: "Chen Lin, I read your script. According to the most basic shooting scene, how long are you going to control the length of this movie?"

"Within 12o minutes! I can't make a movie that takes two hours! Even if there are really two hours, I will edit the extra picture!"

Dick Cook smiled with satisfaction.

With a large investment of 160 million, do you still want to play art and depth?

Who do you think you are?

Why did Peter Jackson's "King Kong" lose the box office at the beginning? It cost nearly $250 million, and only exchanged for a box office of 500 million. That was Peter Jackson, who directed the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy!

The main reason is that the movie is too long, with 187 minutes, and the time to show "King Kong" is enough to show two other movies!

This is also the reason why "Interstellar" in his previous life created a new box office low for Christopher Nolan, which is 169 minutes!

From an investment perspective alone, the cost of "Interstellar" is US$169 million, with a global box office of 550 million. It is certain that the return is made, but compared with several previous movies, "Interstellar" is undoubtedly the bottom!

The length of the movie of 169 minutes means that Interstellar releases fewer times per day than the average number of movies with standard length.

This is also the main reason why theaters are reluctant to add pomp to "Interstellar"!

Dick Cook asked this question, he wondered if this young director would be as stubborn as other directors.

It seems that he is not, he is a natural commercial director!

This is in line with Dick Cook's requirements.
Chapter completed!
