Still in the Hilltop Mansion No. 24 in Beverly Hills,

Because he couldn't persuade Tang Shuxuan to 'change the court' with words, Li Wenxing directly came up with a backup plan: pajamas.

Not just talking, but real pajamas,

A whole afternoon and an evening, like glue, lingering to the death, for which I almost missed the meeting with Laura.

The time came to 9 a.m. on March 20,

Because it was half an hour later than the planned departure time, Li Wenxing and his party hurried and finally stepped on the reserved time point and came to a newly purchased office building in the Calver urban area.

The main building with a height of six floors and an average of 700 square meters per floor, plus two three-storey annex buildings of 200 square meters per floor, and more than 70 parking spaces.

This is Li Wenxing's newly established Superstar Pictures, which has settled in the office building of Los Angeles.

Of course, this building was bought by Mei Yuzhen with an immigrant investment account, and it took the path of Citibank, and it didn't cost much.

Zero down payment mortgage, the interest rate is relatively high.

Walking into the chairman's office on the top floor of the building with Tang Shuxuan, Li Wenxing first called, and only applied for the post a few days ago, and the blonde secretary Kara, who was still on probation, asked a few words,

Knowing that the three waves of guests who had made the reservation had arrived, he instructed the other party to bring people over in turn.

Then, Li Wenxing first met the 'No. 6' little girl who finally passed the interview yesterday.

"Congratulations, Claire Simmons, you've beaten 6,307 contenders and you're just one last step away from signing a contract. ”

After greeting each other and skipping the trivial polite links, Li Wenxing went straight to the point.

You must know that before the formal contract is signed, everything is false, and the results of the interview are not counted at all.

Not to mention that the little girl didn't come alone, but came with a guardian and an agent, so any politeness seemed superfluous.

"Claire, Mrs. Simmons, you have also read the development plan for the Tomb Raider series.

It is not just one, but three in a row over the next five years.

The importance of Laura's role to Tomb Raider probably doesn't need me to repeat it.

So, here's the problem, we have to make the worst-case scenario,

Therefore, in order to reduce the trouble that we may encounter when making a sequel to the movie in the future, and to reduce the risk,

If Claire wants to get the job to play Laura, she must sign an additional agreement in addition to the actor's employment contract.

This is the agreement we have prepared, you can take a look at it first.

If you have any questions or concerns after reading it, you can ask the Mr. Ovitz next to me to solve your doubts, and he can represent me with full authority. ”

In this way, Li Wenxing hurried over and came forward in person, but he only said a few words and handed over the negotiation task before signing the contract to the people below.

What the hell? If that's the case, then why would he just come here to show his face?

Actually, there is a big meaning in this.

Because Superstar Pictures is a new fan, a fresh face, or a Chinese-funded company, it has a congenital disadvantage, it is difficult to win the trust of others, and it will make people resist.

is only Li Wenxing, the big boss, who is somewhat famous.

Well, I must thank the "Los Angeles Times" for reciprocating the favor, when Li Wenxing spent a lot of money to buy the other party's headline advertising space for three days, and the other party sent back a profile report of Li Wenxing.

That report really praised Li Wenxing,

For example, he is the inventor of the Rubik's Cube, the inventor of the music greeting card, the chairman of several large group companies, and has a net worth of hundreds of millions of dollars.

At the same time, he is also a family, an actor, a director, a cartoonist, a music creator, and is very famous in the oriental art world.

The count is quite thin, and he almost shakes out his old bottom.

In this way, there is that report as the foundation, and then Li Wenxing personally came forward to prove that Superstar Pictures is not a leather bag company, and he Li Wenxing is not a liar or an unknown person.

In this way, the person who wins Claire's side first, and then the certainty of convincing Claire to sign will be much greater.

And as long as the success rate of signing can be improved, even if it is just a little bit, it is worth it for Li Wenxing.

After all, some of the terms in the additional agreement handed over by Li Wenxing are indeed a little excessive.

If he changes his position, he won't sign it himself, let alone push others by himself.

However, in business, the content of the agreement is to ensure the smooth development of the "Tomb Raider" series, and it has to be.

For example, there is a clause in the agreement that restricts Claire from falling in love within five years.

With this restriction alone, it is difficult for the other party to agree to sign a contract.

Knowing that the other party will not agree, why do you make such a harsh request?

The key Li Wenxing can't help it, the "Tomb Raider" series is too important, it can be said that in the next five years, the core project of Superstar Pictures will be on it.

In the original plan, "Tomb Raider" was to open all copyright channels for marketing.

And Laura's actor is the absolute core of this marketing plan.

not only needs her to appear in movies, but also needs her to do offline activities, endorsements, publicity, and even hold a world tour fan meeting for her if necessary.

At that time, as long as the goods related to "Tomb Raider" are sold, she must go over to promote and do activities.

And so on,

Whether it is out of consideration for the maintenance of the fan base, the specific point is to take care of the fragile liver of the majority of male silver fans.

Or must it be completely eliminated, there may be scandals, gossip, and black material hidden dangers,

Laura's actor can't fall in love during this period.

Just imagine, if Claire was on fire and suddenly broke the news that she was in love, it would definitely have lost countless fans in an instant.

If you are unlucky, the news of the breakup comes out, and then the gossip media adds to the fire, and as usual, the reputation will be ruined, and you will be hacked.

When the road turns black, the powder turns black, which is more terrible than falling off the powder.

Therefore, it is forbidden to fall in love, and considering that the verbal agreement is useless, you can't gamble on the other party's character, so it can only be written in the pre-agreement.

Thinking that there is a sky-high liquidated damages as a limit, no matter how unhappy she is, she will definitely not dare to cross the line.

From this, in order to be able to sign the contract smoothly, in order to dispel the unnecessary concerns of Claire's side,

For example, doubting the strength of Superstar Pictures, will it really ignore the profit and loss of the first movie and continue to shoot a sequel?

What if the sequel ends without a hitch? Then this agreement she signed will become a shackle that imprisons her freedom for five years.

Therefore, Li Wenxing, the big boss, must come forward in person to let Claire's side know that he attaches importance to "Tomb Raider" and the importance he attaches to her.

At the same time, in order to leave a buffer room for the next negotiations between the two sides, Li Wenxing will not directly participate in the specific negotiation process, but let the people below come forward.

This is also taken into account that in the event of an impasse in the negotiations, there are representatives of both parties in between, and the parties are hidden behind the scenes.

In that way, no matter how far the two people involved in the negotiation argue, they will not directly collapse.

Therefore, Li Wenxing just said a few simple words, and then handed over the task of negotiation to the people below.

This small move not only gave enough attention to the follow-up negotiations, but also left enough buffer space.

It is said that the details determine success or failure, and the real effort is seen in the details, and Li Wenxing's success today is not all for nothing.
