Chapter 645: News
The changes in Wang Qidong and Lu Taidong's expressions were naturally seen by Yang Ming, and it was obvious that the two of them were tempted.
The script of "Dragon Group 007: Golden Eye" is naturally adapted by Yang Ming from the 007 series of movies in his previous life, and the whole world has changed greatly in this life, and even this classic 007 movie has been lost, which makes Yang Ming sigh, but it also gives him the opportunity to open a golden finger.
In the original plot, he only modified the background setting, and as for the plot, he didn't make much changes.
It's just that the plot of the British saving the world and saving mankind is changed to the Chinese.
In fact, all Hollywood blockbusters are this kind of urine. Sex, the Americans save the planet, save the world, and all succeed at the last second, the hero then breaks out of the encirclement, not killed, and everyone bursts into cheering applause.
Hollywood's hero films are all this kind of routine, and they have been tried and tested repeatedly, and they have collected box office frenzy around the world, which has to be said to be a miracle.
After a while, Wang Qidong and Lu Taidong, who made eye contact, immediately made a decision, Wang Qidong raised his head and said: "Mr. Yang, I took this series of movies, and there is no problem for Taidong to sign a ten-year long contract!"
"Mr. Yang, I don't want to miss such a good opportunity!" Lu Taidong also said sincerely. Although the ten-year long contract is a little longer, this Dragon Group Agent series movie is worth his effort.
Yang Ming also laughed when he heard this, and said, "That's good!"
In fact, ten years is really nothing compared to the harvest.
In his previous life, the fifth 007 actor Pierce Brosnan was also a tepid star before, but after he successfully created the image of 007, his value soared, and his status in the film industry rose so quickly that it was jaw-dropping.
And in the 007 movies that followed, every Bond girl was also stained, and any actress who has been a 'Bond Girl' will immediately become an upstart in the entertainment industry.
That's the beauty of this series.
Of course, Yang Ming also knows that "Agents of the Dragon Group" in this life does not have the precipitation of several classic 007 movies in the previous life, and has accumulated a lot of fame.
But he believes that as long as the first part of "Golden Eye" can become an instant hit, he believes that the next few 007s will definitely not be inferior to the previous life.
"Mr. Lu, Sister Zhu will talk to you after the brokerage contract, and I won't treat you badly, I can guarantee that as long as the box office of "Golden Eye" does not reach the local box office of 300 million, then our Oriental DreamWorks will unconditionally terminate the contract with you!" Yang Ming said with a wave of his hand.
"Thank you, Mr. Yang!" Lu Taidong really didn't expect Yang Ming to make such a decision, it can be seen that the other party really wanted to recruit him and signed a brokerage contract with him, and he was really at ease at this moment.
Wang Qidong looked at Yiqiē with a smile, and also felt sincere admiration for Yang Ming's domineering approach, which showed Yang Ming's confidence in his script, and also made Wang Qidong full of vitality at the moment, a desire to start filming impatiently.
However, he thought for a while, and after a while, he said slowly: "Actually, the reason why the company wants to sign a ten-year long contract with Taidong must be for the sake of this movie, so can we sign a contract for ten movies, and then the contract will indicate the condition that the shooting of the Dragon Group Agent series of movies will be given priority, Mr. Yang, what do you see?"
Yang Ming thought about it, the reason why he wanted to sign a ten-year long-term contract with Lu Taidong was that he was afraid that after the other party became popular, he would be poached by other companies, and the sequel behind the director could not be filmed.
Nothing else is wrong.
After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "It's not a big problem, when the time comes, I'll wait for Sister Zhu to come and talk to you!"
At this time, Yang Ming finally understood why there was a position of agent.
Although the brothers settle the accounts, Yang Ming is still a little unaccustomed to this kind of calculation of baht and baht, if there is an agent to negotiate on behalf of the two parties, even if the negotiation collapses, it will still leave a little leeway for both parties.
In this way, the role of the broker is fully revealed.
When Wang Qidong heard this, he didn't say anything, they are all people who have been in the entertainment industry for many years, and they understand the rules of this kind of brokerage contract negotiation, and then, he asked with a trace of concern: "Then how much money is the company going to spend on filming this first part of "Dragon Group Agent"?"
When he raised this question, Lu Taidong also pricked up his ears, as the star of this movie, he naturally cared about this issue very much.
Yang Ming heard Wang Qidong's question, thought about it for a while, and then raised a finger and said, "100 million!"
- Shhh
Wang Qidong and Lu Taidong both gasped in unison.
They really didn't expect Yang Ming to give such a huge shooting cost budget.
You must know that the two of them were still entangled and regretful that the box office of their movies never broke 100 million, but they didn't expect that now they are going to participate in the filming of this movie, just the shooting cost budget has reached 100 million, and neither of them expected to have this kind of treatment.
Don't talk about Lu Taidong, even Wang Qidong, who has seen a lot of big scenes, heard this number, his breathing became heavy, and he asked in surprise: "100 million?"
"Not bad, 100 million!" Yang Ming nodded and confirmed.
Seeing Yang Ming's nod of certainty, Lu Taidong couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart, and at the same time felt glad that he had just agreed to Yang Ming's conditions.
A movie with a cost of 100 million yuan, which he couldn't have imagined before.
He believes that as long as he participates in the production of this movie as the male number one, his future in the entertainment industry will be limitless, and all the previous unsatisfactory will become a thing of the past.
Subsequently, Wang Qidong and Lu Taidong discussed with Yang Ming the shooting plan of the first "Agent Dragon Group: Golden Eye", and then got up to say goodbye.
After Yang Ming sent the two away, he just wanted to take a break when he received a conversation from across the ocean.
"Mr. Yang, the acquisition is almost over, it's over!" Howard said on the phone in stilted Chinese.
"Very good, I'll rush over tomorrow!" Yang Ming was shocked when he heard this, and immediately became excited.
During this time, he was so busy that he almost forgot about this important event, as long as Howard was in Hollywood, according to his previous conditions, and successfully acquired a film company, then he would be more sure of Barber's invitation.
Thinking of this, Yang Ming immediately asked, "Howard, how is Bobble's situation recently?"
Since the last time he had dinner with Barber in a restaurant, he knew that inviting the other party to join could not be done overnight, so he immediately rushed back to China to watch the World Cup final with Su Su and them.
In addition, he was busy with concerts, so he didn't care about Barber's side, so he didn't know much about the situation in Hollywood now.
Hearing Yang Ming's question, Howard immediately laughed a little gloating on the other end of the phone, and said, "Mr. Barber may have been very unhappy recently!"
"Oh, what's wrong?" Yang Ming couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Because there are media in Hollywood that took pictures of you and Bobble having dinner together, and then it was published, I heard that Mr. Cockley, the owner of Pan American Entertainment, was very angry, so he used all kinds of means to deal with Bobble, and now the two sides are still fighting a war of words in the media! Many of Corkeley's old bottoms have been exposed by Bobble in the media, haha, now this Mr. Congressman is not very happy. Howard said with a smile.
Yang Ming was silent when he heard this, although Corkley was not happy, then Barber would definitely not be much better.
Kill 1,000 enemies and injure yourself 800!
Although Barber has blown up Corkley's old bottom, his reputation in the entertainment industry is definitely not good, even if others don't take the opportunity to pour cold water on the head of the former CEO of Pan American Entertainment, Corkley will not let Barber go.
It seems that the time has come.
"Okay, I know, I'll rush over tomorrow, you make sure that the final procedures for the acquisition are completed!" Yang Ming instructed.
After getting Howard's assurance, Yang Ming hung up the phone, and then after pondering for a while, he immediately called Chen Yongjun, last time he said that he wanted to get rid of the 20% stake in the network and cable TV company, and I don't know how Chen Yongjun was determined.
Now the company's stalls are in full swing, and it costs money everywhere.
Not to mention the "2012" that Yang Ming has begun to prepare, the filming budget of "Dragon Group Agent" that has just been determined will also exceed 100 million, and the film "Shaolin Temple" that will be promoted for Shaolin Temple, it is estimated that after a while, Lao Chai will also start shooting.
Coupled with the shooting plans of other people in the company, it can be said that the revenue generated by the box office of "One Ball to Fame" has been spent by Yang Ming before it is hot.
I'm short of money now!
"Haha, it's Yang Ming, right? I just wanted to call you, but I didn't expect you to call. Chen Yongjun smiled heartily on the phone.
"It's done?" Yang Ming asked.
When Chen Yongjun heard Yang Ming's words, he immediately said: "Well, a total of 1.2 billion, Ye Laosan is also a refreshing person, I told him that people also want to sell the shares to you at this time because you have helped you and owe you a favor, otherwise they will definitely choose to wait until the company is listed before selling, and there will be absolutely no problem if the price triples." ”
"Ye Laosan heard me say this, and learned that you were willing to transfer your shares, and immediately offered a price of 1.2 billion!haha!" At the end, Chen Yongjun couldn't help but laugh proudly, obviously he himself was very satisfied with Ye Laosan's face.
Yang Ming was very happy when he heard this, this is 200 million more than his previous estimate of 1 billion, it seems that this son of the Ye family is not a person who is too dark-hearted.
"Okay, no problem, let's go through the procedure when we go back!" Yang Ming said.
Before hanging up the phone, Chen Yongjun suddenly said: "By the way, Yang Ming, just now Ye Laosan asked me to tell you that the second child of the Zhang family was released from prison yesterday!"
When Yang Ming heard the news, his heart sank, the father of the third child of the Ye family is a senior official in the police system, and as a child of the Ye family, he must be relatively clear about the news in the system, and this news seems to be true.
"I see, you can also help me relay it to him, thank him for his kindness. Yang Ming said calmly.
