489. Feng Shui takes turns

The protagonists of American superheroes are all human, while the Chinese ones come more from myths and legends such as gods and Buddhas.

In Ning Yuan's view, Huaxia is either fearless like Sun Wukong, or like Jiang Ziya, who is compassionate and compassionate to the world, what they have in common, except that they are high up or inaccessible in distant history, is perfection, especially in morality.

This is the reason for culture, after all, the promotion of Confucian culture and Buddhist culture.

Jin Yong also said that the great man of chivalry is for the country and the people.

And the United States, a country that has only been established for more than 200 years, is still convincing and can not but be said to be able to glorify selfish and self-interested individualism into advocating human freedom.

This is due to the promotion of these literature, film and television works, or in other words, character and history, which are reflected and embodied in literature, film and television.

Ning Yuan can't say which is more important, personal interests or collective interests, after all, both are indispensable, but one thing, if there is no pattern and nobility of those martyrs who sacrificed their lives and forgot their deaths and sacrificed their small families to take care of everyone, they would not have lived and worked in peace and contentment now.

It's just that in China now, individualism has also begun to become popular, and naturally it has begun to slowly identify with the pattern of those blockbusters in the United States.

They don't think that the greater the power and the greater the responsibility from the beginning, they are often forced to do that.

The same goes for Captain Jack, like in the third part, where the Lord gets Jones' heart and uses it to coerce Jones and his big octopus into slaughtering the pirates, who are like lambs to the slaughter.

Even though the former villain, Barbossa, the big boss of the first part, and the tyrannical pirates played by Chow Yun-fat began to change and wanted to join forces to fight, Jack was unmoved, and said:

"It just so happens that when you're all dead, I'll be the last legendary pirate. ”

It wasn't until he finally found himself desperate that Jack joined them in the fight.

Therefore, Han Ping and Jiang Zhiqiang can't understand how such a protagonist can attract the world, this kind of doubt is different from Disney's internal concern, but their initial worries come more from seeing Depp's non-mainstream state after filming.

β€œall right。 Roy tapped his fingers on the table, then rolled his eyes, suddenly raised his head, and shouted outside:

"Anyone, the coffee in the guest's cup is gone. ”

At this time, Roy smiled and said, "Our coffee should be pretty good, right?"

Ning Yuan also smiled: "Of course, I like it very much. ”

Roy's secretary came over and served them three cups of coffee again, while taking away their original cups.

During this process, Ning Yuan observed that Roy's eyes flickered occasionally, and there was a brief loss of concentration.

Obviously, he was taking advantage of this free time to think about whether there was anything wrong with it.

Ning Yuan smiled, turned sideways and said to Han Ping and Jiang Zhiqiang:

"He should be tempted, but that's the main thing. ”

Han Ping's English is not much better than that of junior high school students in China, but Jiang Zhiqiang is very proficient, and it can be seen through the conversation between Ning Yuan and Roy just now, coupled with his appearance at this time.

Jiang Zhiqiang nodded and gave Ning Yuan a reassuring look.

Indeed, the next thing to talk about is about investment subscription and copyright-related matters.

Mr. Roy insisted that the investment required $140 million, and Mr. Jiang had a stack of materials in front of him, which he had recently gleaned from his office in the United States.

Not only several major Hollywood film and television companies, including DreamWorks, Pixar and other companies, have cooperated with Jiang Zhiqiang, and naturally they have to pay some price for obtaining these materials, although it is not confidential, but based on these information, the investment behavior can also be analyzed, which obviously does not exceed 100 million at all.

It is worth mentioning that Pixar is Jobs's, and after being squeezed out of Apple that year, he bought the company from "Star Wars" director Lucas.

"Toy Story" and "Finding Nemo" are what they did.

Because he has been cooperating with Disney, and finally for his own future development, Disney took Pixar under its ownership a few years later, and Jobs also became Disney's largest individual shareholder.

Despite this, Jobs also has no say in Disney, because although each member of the Disney family does not have a high shareholding, they have a family committee, and through such a collective, when added up, they become the absolute controlling shareholder, and also ensure the interests of the Disney family.

In fact, the project "Pirates of the Caribbean" has already started, and the director has already been looking for and has already started working, that is, Gore Verbinski, who made "The American Version of Midnight Bells".

Even before the script was completed, the set was already started and the location was scouted.

Therefore, with so many behaviors, it is impossible to hide the cost of production.

But even so, Roy still didn't let go: "If you only give 30 million dollars, it will not be 30%, but 21.4%. ”

Jiang Zhiqiang rubbed his forehead, if it wasn't for the negotiation now, he really wanted to scold his mother, and talk nonsense with his eyes open, is it your tradition? Or is it the pirate scoundrel who has also begun?

At this moment, Ning Yuan suddenly said: "If this is the case, then, I have to change my previous plan, for every $100 million increase in the box office, our share will increase by 10%, and there is no cap, if you want, you can do it." ”

Although according to that share, whether it accounts for 30% or not, as long as it exceeds 400 million in the end, it must be divided according to 35%, but when it comes to them, the cost needs to be deducted, between 100 million and 140 million, but the difference is 40 million.

If it is 140 million, the extra 40 million will be their net income in the future, which is also the reason why Jiang Zhiqiang argues on the basis of reason.

Hearing Ning Yuan's sudden appearance, Roy was stunned, and looked at Michael and Frank, and said in his heart, Is this okay?

However, looking at Ning Yuan's confident appearance at this time, they were really a little unsure.

Especially Roy.

Just like Zhuge Liang's empty city plan, what he sings is the hearts of the people, if he is not full of calculations and suspicion, he can kill it, but when Ning Yuan came like this, Roy really hesitated.

is worried about whether the box office will really rise to a high level in the future, and is afraid that Ning Yuan is just bluffing.

Roy just played the scoundrel and didn't admit it, that is, the movie was led by them, although they also wanted to share the burden, but they were used to being strong, and naturally wanted to take advantage of it.

Of course, if Ning Yuan and them were annoyed and turned around and left, Roy would not stop them, they also had their own arrogance, although it was difficult, they didn't want to give the initiative away.

But Ning Yuan now threw out another choice, and at the same time disrupted the previous sharing agreement, which was to stir up Roy's momentum, and at the same time tell him, I will not leave, but I will not let others slaughter him.

If you want to cooperate, you have a cooperative attitude.

Seeing that Roy was rubbing his temples there at this moment, Jiang Zhiqiang turned his head to look at Ning Yuan, and suddenly wanted to laugh.

Feng Shui takes turns, what is this?
