Chapter 428: The First Guest of the New Year Down
Zheng Yan and Liu Wei didn't expect that Ichiro Morita would say his situation so bluntly, which is equivalent to handing over his fate to two people in disguise. Regardless of Zheng Yan or Liu Wei, if they encounter the same situation, they will definitely not have this kind of courage.
Originally, Liu Wei's impression of Eiichiro Morita had changed, but when he heard the other party's words so heartfelt, he instantly felt good about him, and said: "Since the two sides are working together, it is natural to build on the basis of equality." ”
"Now you have a request for us, but maybe we will ask you for help in the future, so we should make friends. As for the concessions in terms of profit sharing, forget it, you need these more than us now, and when you are in a secure position, you will find a way to make up for us. ”
When Liu Wei finished speaking, Zheng Yan began to regret it, knowing that he should not have been allowed to participate in this negotiation.
Since Marvel merged into Longteng Entertainment, Zheng Yan has another 20% stake in Longteng Entertainment, and Liu Wei has given away his interests in disguise. However, Liu Wei has said it, and it is impossible for Zheng Yan to take it back.
"Mr. Morita, since my third brother has said so, then the matter is settled. But there is one thing I want to say in advance, as long as it is the script I provide, I can guarantee that I will not lose money, so I can not care about the funding, but every movie must have a part of me. ”
"I know it's hard to believe, after all, it's inevitable that people will make mistakes, and I have no way to prove it. However, if you've done your research, you should know that there is no precedent for the script I've provided to lose money. ”
"Let's not talk about the films shot in Hong Kong City, after all, the situation in Hong Kong City and Hollywood is a little different, and the convincing power is too weak. Since Long Teng came to the United States, I have provided scripts for four films, and they have been released. ”
And the four films were all directed by Spielberg, the first "Schindler's List", the shooting cost was only 20 million US dollars, and the final box office exceeded 300 million. The second "Truman's World", because it is a literary film, has an average performance, only slightly
Surplus. ”
The third is "Forrest Gump", with a total investment of about 50 million US dollars, and the final global box office has exceeded 600 million, and the last one is "Jurassic Park", which is also the most profitable, with a total investment of 60 million US dollars, in exchange for a billion box office. ”
"Now Spielberg is already filming the second part of "Jurassic Park", and if there are no accidents, there should be no loss. As for the awards won by these films, I only know that there are a lot of awards, but I am not particularly clear about the awards. ”
Although Zheng Yan is just stealing other people's ideas, no one knows about it at all, and Zheng Yan has taken these achievements on himself with peace of mind. I have to say, that sounds pretty bluffing.
Before Eiichiro Morita went to Port City, he had already done an investigation on Zheng Yan, and he only knew that Zheng Yan was a good screenwriter, but he didn't have a clear concept of how good it was.
"Mr. Zheng, about you, Yamamoto has already told me that if I have any doubts, I will not cooperate with Mr. Zheng. So, I don't have any problem with Mr. Zheng's proposal just now. ”
Liu Wei was also relieved when he saw Eiichiro Morita agree. In fact, as soon as the words just came out, he regretted it, after all, it was not a small amount of money involved, Zheng Yan wanted back a hundred percent of the profit in disguise, which also made him balance a lot in his heart.
"In that case, let's talk about the film. Actually, since the last time I met Mr. Morita, I had already prepared a few scripts for our collaboration, but because of some recent events, I had new ideas. ”
"Not long ago, Dragon Entertainment completed the acquisition of Marvel and got back the rights to the X-Men sold to Twentieth Century Fox, I am ready to put Marvel's heroes on the screen, I wonder what Mr. Yamamoto thinks?"
Originally, Ichiro Morita was full of expectations for Zheng Yan's script, but as soon as these words came out, he was immediately startled. The previous president of Columbia Pictures also thought about buying the movie rights to Marvel heroes, but since he took office
After that, the plan was rejected.
Before taking over Columbia Pictures, Ichiro Morita had already done a lot of work and did research on Marvel. Marvel's heroes have been adapted into movies one after another since the 40s, and there have been more than 20 films so far, but unfortunately there is no precedent for success.
"Mr. Zheng, are you thinking about it again? I'm not questioning Mr. Zheng's ability to adapt the script, it's really..."
After years of repeated changes, coupled with various shoddy comics and peripheral products, Marvel has long become synonymous with losers. Even if Zheng Yan personally produced the script, it was difficult for Eiichiro Morita to have confidence in him.
Zheng Yan was not surprised by Morita Ichiro's reaction, if he accepted Zheng Yan's proposal without hesitation, Zheng Yan would think more.
"Well, Mr. Morita, since you're not interested in a movie based on Marvel, I can provide other scripts as well. However, Columbia Pictures is responsible for the distribution of this kind of film produced by Long Teng, which is not bad for Columbia Pictures at all. ”
As one of the Hollywood giants, even if Columbia Pictures has continued to decline in the past few years, its production team and distribution channels are not comparable to Longteng, which is what Zheng Yan values the most.
Mr. Zheng can rest assured that as long as it is a film produced by Longteng, Columbia Pictures can be responsible for the distribution, and the fee can be calculated according to the minimum standard in the industry. Seeing Zheng Yan loosen his mouth, Eiichiro Morita agreed very happily.
"If that's the case, then there's no problem, you wait for me, I'll come when I go. ”
Zheng Yan went upstairs after speaking, and it didn't take long for him to walk down with a few scripts, "Mr. Morita, these are a few scripts I prepared in advance, you can take them back and let your production team take a look, if there are no problems, we can shoot." ”
For Zheng Yan, the script is just a casual copy, and there is no need for the creative process at all, so he has already prepared some in advance.
