That's right, it's indeed Predator.

Just a simple flip through the script, Chen Geng determined this, although this is just a very rough script, not so much a script as a story, but this is enough, as long as it is "Predator", as for the rough script, it will be slowly polished in the future, then again, the starring and screenwriter of "Predator" are standing next to him, this is really fate......

"Quite an interesting story, Arnold, I think this story is very suitable for you. Chen Geng said, casually handed the script to Arnold on the side, and motioned for him to take a look.

The boss actually said that this story is suitable for him?

Arnold was a little surprised, but at the same time, his interest was immediately mentioned by Chen Geng, and he hurriedly took the script: "Really, then I have to take a good look at ......"

At the same time, Chen Geng turned his head and said to the Thomas brothers: "I am somewhat interested in this story, the two of you, how do you plan to cooperate?

The buyout is, of course, a one-time payment of how much money to buy the story, and then the Thomas brothers, as screenwriters, cooperate with the crew, and modify the story until it meets the needs of the crew, and meets the requirements of the director and producer at the same time, with the Hollywood market in this era and the status of the Thomas brothers in the Hollywood screenwriting industry, this story can be sold for about 100,000 US dollars;

Between 0.4% and 1.4% of the total box office.

But not all screenwriters are eligible to use scripts to get a share, only those screenwriters who are big stars or have good enough stories have such qualifications, such as Stallone's "Rocky" series and "First Blood" series, that is, Stallone himself writes the screenplay, writes the story, and stars himself, and then gets a share.

Of course, the total income obtained under this mode of operation is definitely much higher than that of the buyout, and you must have full confidence in your own stock market.

But in any case, both have their own advantages, the buyout is more stable, and although it is possible to get more money, it is also possible to be busy and make a hard job.

But at this moment, the Thomas brothers did not hesitate at all: "We choose to share!"

Mr. Fernandez's mode of operation in making movies is unique in the whole of Hollywood: the salaries given to the actors, directors and crew will not be very high, but he will sign a "base salary + share" contract with everyone, as long as the film makes money, he will give red envelopes to all the cast and crew, and the result is that in the end, everyone may get 20% to 30% more money than normal.

Not to mention that Mr. Fernandez is a well-known "Bole" in Hollywood, as long as it is a movie that he is willing to invest in, there is no one that is not profitable, and as Mr. Fernandez's reputation is getting bigger and bigger, the current situation has become that the theater side heard that it was Mr. Fernandez's investment in the film, and almost all of them rushed to introduce it...... Make money!

Therefore, the fool chooses to buy out, and it must be divided.

"Boss, I love this story. As soon as the Thomas brothers' words fell, Arnold, who had read the story in a hurry, immediately expressed to Chen Geng his idea of wanting to participate in this movie.

Arnold knows very well in his heart that if he stars in this movie, he must be the leading actor, there is no doubt about this, the story is a good story, and the boss is optimistic, which means that 90% of this movie may make money, and maybe it will make a lot of money, in this case, what else do you have to hesitate about?

Arnold made a decision so quickly, which made Chen Geng a little surprised: "Don't think about it anymore?"

"Don't think about it," Arnold shook his head, "I trust you." ”

Since that's the case, there's nothing to say, he nodded, and said to Arnold and the Thomas brothers: "Arnold, you will still cooperate with the crew to promote "Alone in Longtan" in the next short time, but after "Alone in Longtan" is released, you can think about this movie......;

After saying this, Chen Geng looked up at Mark Lester, but before Chen Geng could speak, Mark Lester said apologetically: "Boss, I want to rest for a while." ”

“......”

This is a polite refusal, although I don't understand why Mark Lester is reluctant to make this movie, but since Mark Lester is unwilling to do it, Chen Geng is not reluctant: if he remembers correctly, the movie of "Predator" is not him Mark Lester.

........................

Chen Geng feels that "blessings do not come together, disasters do not go alone" is not right, because in the next ten days, whether it is the sales number of Windows 2.0 or the box office results of "Alone in Longtan", it is all the way up, and by the 20th day of release, the North American box office performance of "Alone in Longtan" has come to 50 million US dollars, and if this trend continues, it is estimated that the final North American box office performance is expected to exceed 70 million US dollars, and even have the opportunity to impact 75 million US dollars.

This is only the North American box office, considering that it has begun to be released around the world, the total global box office of this film is likely to exceed 120 million US dollars, and then counting the subsequent video tape distribution, peripheral derivatives, TV station licensing and other channels, this film alone may create a net profit of more than 40 million US dollars for Chen Geng - and affected by this good news, although "Alone in Longtan" has not yet been released, Arnold's worth has risen to 2 million US dollars.

Claiming to invest $10 million, removing all kinds of sponsorships, the actual investment is less than $7 million, and the final profit is more than $40 million, and the eyes of hundreds of large and small film and television production companies in Hollywood are red: Damn! Why is it so easy for Fernandez to make money?

Seeing that "Alone in Longtan" will bring Chen Geng a lot of income, and the market performance of Windows 2.0 is not inferior, although it has not been a full month, the global shipment of Windows 2.0 operating system has exceeded 420,000 sets, which is 1560,000 more than the best situation previously expected, in this case, Chen Geng feels that he must consider one thing: send red envelopes!

"Boss, do you really want to do this?" After receiving Chen Geng's call, White, who was now in charge of Chen Geng's finances, was taken aback!

Don't blame him for making a fuss, it's really Chen Geng's plan that is too crazy.
